Our 7-Step Gutter Install Process
At All Seasons Cleaning Services, we provide professional gutter installation services to protect your home from water damage, foundation issues, and erosion. Whether you’re upgrading old gutters or installing a new system, our 7-step process ensures long-lasting performance and reliability.
1. Inspection & Assessment
Every successful gutter installation starts with a thorough inspection of your home’s exterior. Our team assesses:
- The condition of existing gutters (if applicable)
- Roofline and fascia boards for any damage
- Drainage flow to prevent water pooling
- Potential areas for overflow or leaks
Based on your home’s design and Vancouver & Portland’s rainfall levels, we determine the ideal gutter size, material, and placement to prevent common issues like water damage and soil erosion.
2. Custom Measurement & Planning
We take precise measurements to ensure a perfect fit, including:
- Measuring the roof edge where gutters will be installed
- Calculating the proper slope for drainage
- Determining the best downspout placement
- Selecting the right gutter type and material
An improper slope can cause standing water, leading to rust, leaks, and premature wear. Our team ensures your gutters are pitched correctly for smooth water flow.
3. Old Gutter Removal & Fascia Inspection
If you’re replacing old gutters, we carefully remove them without damaging your fascia boards or roofline. This step includes:
- Detaching old gutters and brackets
- Inspecting fascia and soffits for rot, mold, or damage
- Recommending repairs if needed
- Cleaning the installation area for a solid foundation
Skipping this step can lead to sagging gutters and costly repairs down the road.
4. Bracket & Hanger Installation
A durable gutter system needs to be securely fastened. We install heavy-duty brackets and hangers by:
- Attaching brackets to the fascia at precise intervals
- Using hidden hangers for a seamless look
- Ensuring even spacing to prevent sagging
- Reinforcing high-stress areas for durability
Properly secured brackets help your gutters withstand heavy rainfall, strong winds, and debris accumulation.
5. Gutter & Downspout Installation
With the brackets in place, we install the gutters and downspouts by:
- Attaching seamless gutters for a sleek, leak-resistant fit
- Cutting gutters to precise lengths for each section
- Installing downspouts in strategic locations
- Sealing all joints and end caps to prevent leaks
Downspouts are crucial for directing water away from your home’s foundation, preventing basement flooding and erosion.
6. Sealing & Slope Adjustment
For gutters to work efficiently, they need the right pitch. We make final adjustments by:
- Ensuring a slight downward slope (¼ inch per 10 feet) toward downspouts
- Checking for any pooling water areas
- Sealing all seams and end caps with weatherproof sealant
- Reinforcing areas prone to leaks
Without proper slope, gutters can overflow, leak, and cause structural damage. These final tweaks ensure your system functions properly for years to come.
7. Final Inspection & Cleanup
Before completing the job, we conduct a final inspection to confirm:
✔ Gutters are securely fastened and properly aligned
✔ The correct slope is in place for drainage
✔ There are no leaks or weak spots
✔ Water flows smoothly through the system
We then clean up the work area, removing old materials and debris, leaving your property just as clean as when we arrived—with a brand-new, fully functional gutter system!
