Gutter installation begins with a sturdy ladder and an assistant to help spot the work and secure the ladder. Make sure the ladder is on level ground and is tall enough to reach the roofline. Wear thick gloves and eye protection while working.

Starting at the top of your roofline, snap a chalk line between the high and low points of the slope to establish a reference point. Use a bubble level to check for a smooth, even slope. If your gutters are to have turns or elbows, locate those positions on the line and subtract 1/4 inch from the total length to account for the added gutter volume.

Next, assemble the gutter sections on the ground to pre-drill and drive gutter screws or rivets into place. Then cut the gutter to the lengths specified in your plan, leaving a few inches of overlap at each end for future repairs. Finally, install gutter slip-joint connectors at the ends to connect the gutter sections and add downspout outlet fittings and gutter extension elbows to divert water as needed.
