I learned three lessons in a hard way during gutter installation:
0:48 Your gutter must extend beyond the roof end, not align with it.
1:20 The lower piece of downspout must cover the top piece.
2:06 Apply thick coat of the sealer.

This type of video is just as important as the "this is the right way to install" videos. By showing what happens when an installation is done incorrectly, we all learn the "why?" of proper installation techniques. We also learn how to troubleshoot a problem installation for the typical diy errors. Thanks for sharing!

Professional installer here. This video made me smile…. Just a bit. It speaks volumes without saying a word. I’ve made everyone of these mistakes when first learning the trade. gutters to short , downspout elbows installed upside down, box miters installed inside the gutters when they are supposed to be installed on the outside. The list of mistakes are endless it seems. It would be funny, but these simple mistakes can cost property owners multiple thousands of dollars in damages.

This video is very heartfelt instructive, and actually kind of funny and entertaining. I really enjoyed seeing your learning process and the kind of blue Monday background score. Also, most videos on RU-vid show people doing amazing things in a few minutes and it rather leaves out how many times things go wrong and you have to start over. Thanks for your honesty and sharing what you’ve learned.

Lol great video! Of all the rennos and repairs I’ve done on my own, self taught, putting up eaves was the worst, most difficult and demoralizing of them all. Shingled my roof solo, redid the bathroom, drywall, painting, were all difficult, but putting up eaves is something I will probably have someone else do next time. 😁

My main concern was how much to gutter to extend beyond the roof. I will add an inch or two to each side. Thank you. Can always trim, better to not have to add.

@babochon 3 года назад

Mine is about 3 inches just to be safe. I think it is always a good idea to look at it when it rains so that you can make sure where the drip ends up.

@Pw6872 3 года назад

Your last photo showing the leaking seam was bad enough yes, but the view also revealed another bad thing: daylight between the guttering and the facia board. It shows there is no metal drip edge coming off the roof from under the shingles that diverts water directly into the guttering. When in place, a drip edge won't allow for daylight to show through any gaps.

@babochon 3 года назад

That's a nice observation. Thanks for sharing!

@davidsaez5837 2 года назад

Sure it will hows that possible. The drip edge aint going to stop the back of gutter from not. Eing tight against the facia

@tedl7538 10 месяцев назад

@@davidsaez5837 Yes, the drip edge WILL stop all water leakage behind the gutter, because the drip edge should go OVER the back of the gutter so water spills directly INTO the gutter. The hidden hanger screws and additional short sheet metal screws bind all these items in place.

Gutter replacement is maybe a 2/10 difficulty imo.. but now doing it on a double storey house with large overhang and no scaffolding... It's barely achievable.

@donsutherland5706 Год назад

I would rather have a small dribble at the end of the roof than have the gutter extend past the end of the roof. It looks like hell and all your neighbors will think you don't know how to use a tape measure.

@babochon Год назад

My point is to let you know the gutter should collect all the rain water from your roof. The roof end doesn’t really stand out as much as your neighbors would notice it.

@stonedsilly1 3 года назад

As a professional gutter installer(20+years)I find your video is a joke. 1 there's a thing called Seamless Gutter where you don't have to tie gutter together every scene is a potential leak. 2 the ceiling you're using is garbage.3 you don't need to drop your gutter 3 inches in order to get the water to flow to the downspout. Try a less of a pitch and your gutter will come out looking a lot nicer water will draw itself just like when you siphon out of a gas tank the gasoline goes up the hose and down the hose water will draw itself and pull itself to the downspout hole if you have a slight pitch.

@babochon 3 года назад

Hey, man. First of all, this is a DIY project. One of the factors of doing this is to reduce the installation cost. I am not trying to be a professional gutter installer. As far as I know, seamless gutter is NOT cost friendly (aside from finding them) and I don't think there is an easy way you can do it on your own without hiring gutter installers. Plus when there is a damage, you have to replace the entire gutter. I simply wanted to share what I experienced during the first time gutter installation. My focus was slightly different.

@donhill1825 3 года назад

Why does everyone have to be such a dickhead? There's a polite way to tell people they're doing something wrong. Nobody would talk to a complete stranger like this face to face. Everyone's such a tough guy for absolutely no reason.

@jrandall5736 3 года назад

Lol I would rather have to join gutters myself than hire a contractor to do seamless and have to take a 2nd mortgage out to pay for it. Gutter companies are worse than used car salesmen.

Mr. Seamless Gutter Man is not trying to be helpful, he just wants to trash your video. He needs to learn how to be tactful.

@rock4891 2 года назад

Pro to Pro / I also started installing seamless back in 1977 / I can also find alot of mistakes when watching most the home owners or handman type videos on the do it yourselfers / I do find that most are not to bad / but there are some that should be taken down / I install all my gutters level with the earth / no slope at all / I have found that once the water gets over 1/4 of a inch the water will find the down spout hole and when the sun comes back out the little of water left in will just dry up / there are a lot of opions to what ever anyone says / but as you and I know even Pro to Pros the way we ALL hang gutters will change a bit / but we get it installed and most of the jobs out there come out nice (most).
