5 Steps To Properly Attach Gutter Brackets To Shingles

There are many ways to do a gutter installation in Langley, the choice of one or the other depends on the type of construction, the condition of the roof, the arrangement of the tiles or even the tastes of the professional installer. However, one of the most common mounts on eave roofs is with gutter brackets placed directly on the shingles. If you are thinking of doing an installation of this type, we will tell you to step by step what you have to do.

1. Check the condition of the cover

In order to install on the tiles, it is essential that they are in good condition. Have an All About Gutters Inc professional so you can go up on the roof and do the complete assembly. This is what you have to check:

If the placement of the tiles is, correct.

If the eaves tiles are strong enough.

If during the revision a shifted, broken or defective tile is found, it is essential to solving it before placing any support. Otherwise, we risk that the installation of the rain collection system is not safe.

This distance is not something fixed, you can modify the separation to adapt to the particularities of the eaves in which you are working. Also, pay attention to the extremes of the installation and where the downspouts will go. When in doubt remember that it is always better to put more hooks than to fall short.

Place the hooks on the tiles that you have previously marked and put the screws to fix them to each tile. Make sure they are on properly and that they hold weight.

5. Place the conduits on the supports

Depending on the type of supports you have chosen, the gutters will be placed in one way or another. In any case, you have to place the ducts inside the supports and fix them so that they do not move with the weight of the rain or if there are strong gusts of wind.

As you can see, the installation of duct systems with support on the tiles is not complicated, although it can be laborious. Our recommendation is to always have a qualified installer to ensure a safe assembly with guarantees.
