HOW TO INSTALL GUTTERS - A DIY GUIDE 

Shoutout to this guy for not wasting a ton of time just rambling like other videos I’ve seen. Straight to the point with clear explanations

Extremely efficient use of 6 minutes and 56 seconds of time. Short, to the point, and everything is meaningful and helpful. Essential bases covered. Well done!

wow, not only did you help me learn how to install... You also helped me identify some odd tools our grandpa left us. The rivet gun and crimper!!

The only item that he didn't mention is that when assembling your downspout run. Make sure to put each place INTO the next piece working from the gutter to the ground. This allows for water to flow without any restriction or possibility of escaping at the join between each elbow / extension. As a professional contractor, I approve of this video!

I am a retired Sheetmetal guy. I was getting ready to slam this guy , however he surprised me. He did a good job. Please don’t use those awful gutter connectors that the big box stores sell, do exactly what this guy did and lap the joints together. Don’t use the 1st downspout he showed you use the 2nd way he showed you. Great video for a dyi he did a good job.

You are incredible. Some individuals take 30 min. to explain what you explained in 7 Min. I love short and sweet. Bless you

Damn. Frikkin excellent job! I'm so glad I saw this! I'm a 53yr old woman with back problems with no help and not enough $$ to pay someone to do this. My home is fine. I wanna put a gutter on my patio overhang and a rain barrel. Small job. I think I can do it. After watching this, I'm sure of it. I already have the tools. Thank you!

Listened to other videos that just didn't cut the cake. This one was straight to the chase. Got to listen to someone who starts off with an F-Bomb meter.(absolutely brilliant!)

Honestly one of the best, most succinct yet thorough and helpful DIY videos I’ve ever watched. Thank you, and great work!

Great video. It gave me the confidence I needed to tackle gutter installation on my house. F bomb rating should be a standard rating system.

Thank you so much for this awesome video. Just finished installing new gutters by watching this 7 minute video. You literally covered everything that was important to know. Love videos like this. Short, to the point, very educational. Keep up the awesome work! Thanks again!!

As a contractor, a couple of observations or additions to this well done concise video: 1) Don't use clear silicon. You can't see it and DIY's never wipe it completely clean in visible areas. In 6 months the result is silicon (in visible areas) full of dust and dirt that does not clean well, it only flakes off. Silicon also has a different sheen if you paint it that becomes very visible after ageing. Take the extra time to COMPLETELY wipe off silicon caulking in visible/paintable areas, you will be glad you did. 2) The type of hangers used here force the drip edge out too far when tucking gutter underneath (metal gutters only). Not really covered in this well-done concise video. I have had better success with ferrule type hangers. Everything lays flush when tucked under drip edge, although they are a bit harder to install. 3) Overlap and use grinder metal cut-off wheel just like video. I use my (10 y/o) $15 Harbor Freight grinder for everything. I get lots of laugh on my job sites at the things I use it on. I have notched 2x4's before. LOL. Be careful of heat and sparks, of course, it is an abrasive type tool. It is well worth it if you don't have one. Metal shears always leave artifact on corners etc. and should be filled down. 4) Galvanized self-tapping metal screws work excellent if you do not have rivet tool. This eliminates the pre drilling of holes..

I've done gutter brackets and building houses and all but came to this video.Great video great job.

the f bomb scale is brilliant!!

WOW. Went into this thinking how good can it be at < 7 minutes. Well, pretty f-bomb'n good. Straight into it with no fluff. RU-vid needs more to follow this model!

Straight to the point, knows what he's talking about and explains different methods of doing it!

I'm a long time DIYer, and this video was fantastic! I put together a 37' long section of gutter using these methods and it worked like a charm - my son and I walked it up two ladders, screwed it in along our chalked line, and when we dumped a bucket of water in one end, it ran out clean in mere seconds! Thanks so much for this amazing video - glad I found it.

I am a former high end remodeler, now in sales and back watching remodeling, auto mechanics and other DIY interested videos is a hobby. First I’ve seen of yours and was very informed and given insights we might not know until experienced. You’ve take Away many of those concerns. I subscribe and look forward to your next set a Videos.

My wife and I installed 36 feet of gutters using the methods taught in this video. It was just under $300 in material (including the Hoover Dam Leaf Guard (which was much needed for our yard). It took us 8 hours, because we had to work around our toddler's needs, but if you don't have little ones to tend to you could get through this type of project pretty quickly. This video was extremely helpful - thanks man!

Thanks, love how you overlap the gutter instead of using slip joints...you save me some money!!

Very straight-forward and easy to comprehend instructions. Thank you!

Nice vid. Fast, straight to the point. Made it look possible for someone who's never done house DIY's before. Thanks.

short and straight to the point. very clear instuctions. thank you kind sir!

I especially liked the tip on cutting back and overlapping gutters for connection.

Thanks for the tip on overlapping at the seams instead of using connectors....

Clear, short, excellent instructions, actually thinking of home owners who doesn't have all professional tools. 👍👍

Excellent video. I am a retired EE and do a lot of repairs for myself and others, so I have watched many RU-vid videos. This one covers all the important points of gutter installation, is easy to understand and has great camera presentation. I give it my highest rating.

I LOVE the "f bomb rating" thing! :)

Yeah I’m a remodeling contractor and this guy is really showing you the best method for installing gutters at an expensive price!

7 MINUTES seems like it will be kind of long until you watch this video and see it packs tons of helpful info and techniques in, & the video is actually fast-paced.Excellent, excellent video! Shows many great tips that make install easier & finished system much better. I have searched a wide spread of other videos trying to find the kinds of tips in here.No, I don't know this person :-) just sure appreciate what he's put together here!

You ARE the bomb. I need a length of gutter on one side of the house, where the peaks force rain to run off in one area, beating up on my lawn and creating craters after a heavy rain. Using a professional for what amounts to about 40 feet of gutter seems excessive, so your video is the perfect solution! Thanks to you, I KNOW I've got this.

I am a senior citizen and have done many things in my home including plumbing by watching these videos, however, even though this is a very straightforward and understandable method, I think I will have to give someone else the job, but I hope he does as good a job as you.

After watching your presentation I find that you are the best of all that I watched. After an hour or two I discovered that too many hacks are posting how to do it .(including this old house, a joke) Thanks

BTW, If my memory is correct from a project years back, you can hide that ugly cut edge on the overlap by sliding the cut edge inside the other section. You just have to be aware of getting the overlap with the direction of water flow. But this is a great tip for those who have not tried this, gutter is much more stable without the crappy factory connector. Save money on connectors and do it the way he shows.

Great video. Thank you. One observation, advice and installation are good and correct, comment that gutter must go behind drip edge would highlight an important installation step.

The best video yet on doing gutters . Thanks it really helped.

Ah man this is so helpful! So concise and straight forward. Living in SoCal and dealing with a house not equipped to handle rain I felt like this was directed towards me haha.

Thanks for sharing your inspiring tips. I cannot find a gutter man and need to DIY.

short and to the point. very well done

Just the kind of info and delivery you need for intermediate DIY guys like me. Thanks!

Great Video, very imformative and simple to follow. I did the task with only one F Bomb... When cutting the top for the two pieces to fit together, YOU F bombed... You should cut the top to the gutter going towards the slope, so that the cut is INSIDE the gutter. You left the cut line on the outside and riveted together. I realized the mistake after I made the cut, so one gutter is kinda an eye sore and the other is perfect. I appreciate your video, I feel like a pro now.

Glad I watched this before putting 24ft section on my garage

Good job, straight, clear and concise

, great video for a simple easy way of doing this job,, no need to hire someone, watched it a couple times so as not to forget anything,, wish all DIY videos were this easy to follow.. thx

Dude you saved the day! I had struggled half a day to get up one tiny section of gutter and was very close to tearing the whole thing down and calling the professionals in. Luckily I found your video though! The rest of the project went much smoother and with fewer F-bombs and WTF’s!? By the way, another of benefit of not using those gutter connectors is that there’s a lot fewer seems to seal. It really makes a huge difference both time- and caulk-wise.

Agree with other comments that this is one of THE BEST instructional videos I've ever seen. You showed all the important steps and the ways NOT to do things, which is just as important as the proper methods you used. Thank you for giving me the confidence to tackle my project.

Best gutter install explanation

I was just trying to shove those connectors into one piece, pain. I am just running a 10 and 8' and downspout. This is for our deck that I have a corrugated roof over. Its 90 out today so I stopped to go in the house for a pop and RU-vid, and there you were. I watched and learned about your joining method, so I tried it. At first I thought I cut it wrong but after joining it was correct. Nice to find an application for the pop rivets. Thanks. Glad I just re-watched, I would have cut that gutter piece, whoops!

You have the best gutter install video I've seen on RU-vid. Even better than my go to channel for all my diy's.

Hey thanks to you we got some gutters up and collected a half a trashcan full of water just last night from one side of the roof, thanks so much!!

The best rain gutter video I've found on the net. Great video! Thank you so much

Thanks so much for taking the time to make this extremely helpful video.

well done, explained in brief yet clear manner. I especially appreciated his recommendation of using lap joints rather than the available joint sections which as he pointed out are harder to seal.

excellent video. very helpful for the 1st time diyer!

Like everybody else said this is a nice clean well-edited video without needless chitchat. I was just about to start my gutters and I thought I knew how to do it until I watch this. Save me time and money. Good job.

Very Good - information -learned something new about gutters -good teacher-Thank You-God Bless

The best video on gutters installation I have seen so far.

Thank you so much for giving me the confidence to tackle this job and save myself a thousand dollars!

The F-Bomb scale is fricken GENIUS! Less than 1 minute in and I already liked and subscribed.

Short, clear video LOADED with helpful tips! Thanks!

Great video! So glad I came across it! Lots of great tips. We’ve done lots of home improvement projects over the last 40 yrs but this will be our first attempt at a gutter. After watching your video I’m confident we can get it done without a lot of “F’s”. LOL! Thanks very much!

Straight to the point, easy to understand, love your video. Thank you

I am not usually a gutter man but was convinced to do this for one of my landscape clients. After watching this i am a lot more confident about doing this myself. Thanks brother

Very good video describing the process, I especially like the way they join the gutter sections without couplers. Thank you

Well done. Consise, well spoken, answers all the questions. Thanks.

I have watched several how to install gutter videos this morning and yours is by far the best. Using a cut off wheel sure beats a hack saw or Sawzall like I see on other videos. And overlapping at the splices seems much stronger than the little splice joints. Thanks for a great video!

Very good young man.👍👍

Thanks for the great how-to. And I appreciate the comments as well. Looks like a manageable project and so valuable to a homeowner. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

wow. I really wish this had been the FIRST video I watched! feel way more prepared to tackle this project that's been sitting on my to-do list all year. thanks!

This is easily the best video on installing eavestrough. Thanks very much for saving me so much time.

Best video I've seen on this. Just the right amount of info and great pace. Changing gutters this week.

Great presentation! Alot of good common sense and a few alternatives that sound much better than the usual methods. Thanks. Tom Byrne

Best video on gutters I've found (I watched A LOT of them before starting my gutter project). Thank you!

Thank you for not being a condescending know it all, who has forgotten more than us peons will ever know. You made it very clear to understand.

Great video. Thank you very much. Hung 2- 17ft gutters without any major issues, saved myself a lot of money.

When it comes to DYI I don't know my foot from a hole in the ground. This video was very helpful to me as my father-in-law needed some repairs on his gutter system. Following the install allowed me to troubleshoot his system and identify weak areas that were the cause of his leaks. Thanks for the information and keep up the good work!

The connector is anything but a connector! Great solution! Great video! :) thanks

I love the rain barrel idea! I've been trying to figure out what to do about the rain pooling in a corner of my cemented, enclosed small patio. That barrel or some version of that look is going to be great!!

Great video. Straight to the point and no BS. Well presented.

Thanks for a great tutorial! i overlapped gutters and it was solid!

Very nice! Covered numerous procedures. Made things simple. Very clear and easy to understand. Very useful.

Done gutters many ties but you explained it very well something I couldn't do

I liked the video, it had good camera movement, and the audio was good to excellent. The video moved right along, I also liked the way you used your tools, showing how to cut the down spout holes and joining two gutters together. All in all a great video. Thanks

I pretty much agree with everything. The top guy said, except I’ve personally use more sealant at in cabs and sanded out create the best seal. Have never had a call back.

Wow 7 Minute video packed super full with some of the most valuable info!!

Man the best video short as possible to the point and even flirting the extra details of the rivet gun and the snipers versus cutting it with your blade. And I loved the way you slide the pieces together instead of using a piece to steam together. You rock . The F bomb rating is freaking awesome yeah I love it also

Simple and to the point,love it.

I love the idea of overlapping the pieces. Years ago we did our own gutters and the slip joints were a pain and always leaked.

Thanks for the clear, non-rambling explanation! Looks like we could actually do this ourselves! Question… which is better, the vinyl or metal? Can they both be painted to match the house?

Thank you very much for sharing: your guide is very clear. Thank you!!!

Nicely Done. Also liked the rating system!

Very informative. Definitely a good primer for anyone preparing to install/repair a gutter system. Thank you

This was AWESOME. so simple and no f bombs thanks

Wonderful - concise and clear

Thank you so much for this because we are connecting our gutters like you did with out the inserts and this is a good example how to do it Appreciate your video

I might just do my metal carports gutters. This makes it look insanely easy.

Great tips, i haven’t installed gutters for a while and that was a great tip on creating a better seam.

Thank you so much for this video. This is the best one on the topic, and I've seen them all. You saved me money and time.

The "f bomb" rating is useful heehee I had an estimate from a big box store this morning, diy will save at least $1400. Thank you, very clear directions and good tips about the connections. I will do it that way.
