Installing Seamless Gutter
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 май 2024
- We just made seamless gutter the entire length of the warehouse.
First the guys loaded a roll of black aluminum into the gutter machine, and just like magic gutter came out of the other end.
After they rolled out 3 to 4 feet, they installed an end cap that got crimped in place and then caulked.
Next they used an outlet punch to make a hole for the downspout.
Then they installed a rectangular outlet- this got a layer of caulk around the bottom.
Once they got it in place, they put another layer of caulk all over the top- this way there’s no leaks.
At this point, they just kept running out the gutter- We needed a piece 86 feet long.
Once it was the right length, they used the machine to cut it off.
Next they clipped in a gutter hanger every two foot on center.
These hangers use a screw rather than the old-fashioned nails.
These guys definitely have their system down, they installed an 86-foot piece with just two people.
They snapped lines on the fascia as a guide so the gutter would have a ¼” of fall over 8 feet, this way the water runs to the outlets.
Finally, they installed the downspouts- now we’re ready for rain.
I love the way this black gutter looks.
Let me know in the comments, what do you think is the longest piece of gutter these guys have made? @hausplans

The 80 foot gutter is cool but two guys hanging it that’s impressive
Sheet metal apprentice here … took 3 guys on a 50 footer … 2 ladders on the end and a high reach in the middle to go end to end and get to tacking
@@nickmcmanus6652that's ain't code OSHA would like to know your location
@@nickmcmanus6652Hey what's the thickness of the aluminium sheet used
the company i used to work for our gutter team would do that all the time. the problems come in when theres bullshit in the way.
I was amazed two guys did my 46' gutter. Great work.
Cool to see some gutters on the channel! I run a gutter crew in Minnesota. The warehouse is turning out great
Very cool!
Do you guys do covers for the tops to keep debris out?
@@KTPDAILY yep just installed some today
@@tylerstasny can you gutter guys also make drip edge? I’m having my roof done soon and really hate seeing the 12’ drip edge pieces overlapping, would love a single long piece like the gutters.
I work for ABC SEAMLESS in Cheyenne WY, and we did the airport here but we had to seam it because the total was 220 ft of gutter. 2 110ft gutters with 6 guys. It's pretty crazy
Making gutters on site is smart, I never realized they did that but it makes total sense.
It wasn't on site.
@@Billy-burnerof course it was. They don’t transport 80ft gutters.
Me and my crew once installed 380' on a large apartment complex
Almost 130 meters, longest so far i’ve found in comments.
And I bet that gutter looks like shit without seams..Anything over 100 gets wavy af
@@Slink469when you buy an apartment complex, i suppose that gets to be your problem 💏
@@Slink469 but it won't leak. That is more important to a complex owner.
@@SightsNjunk keep doing it I appreciate your business.
2 people installed an 86 foot gutter! If any one of my buddies and I did that I guarantee it would have looked like an accordion before we got it up. Lol
Owning a gutter company myself, that is some impressive work! Well done to them!
Thanks 👍
I also own a gutter company myself what’s so impressive about it?
And you fully wrecked the gutter youtubers who sell leaf guards
Leaf filter biggest scam going , salesman are worse than ambulance chasers
All leaf guard is a scam. I used to intsall leaf relief. None of that shit works.
I'd demo, install and clean them out. Always told clients they were better off without, I agree, massive scam.
@@miturbinizdurdyI have them under a tree and my gutters are clear as the day they were installed. Simple mesh
@@cameronabbott5175why though? I honestly have no idea. Is it cause leaves don’t cause blockages in the pipe?
Using caulk, cutting and shaping coustem gutters like that instead of buying keep modular ones from Lowe’s shows that you guys are definitely the best guttering pepole I’ve seen!
Well...if the clowns didn't charge so much, people wouldn't diy gutters. I own rental properties and have put serious thought into buying one of these gutter machines, doing all the work and then selling the unit used because these clowns want way too much to do it around here. It's crazy.
6$ a running foot is about the going rate. So that 80 ft run of gutter and 2 20 ft downspouts is worth approx 720$ before tax. The machine pays for itself fairly quickly.
That’s a fairly cheap installation and will probably last between 15-25 years with some maintenance needed. If they had soldered zinc together, it could last around 80-100 years. I’m not saying they did a bad job,that’s probably just what the customer paid for. However, it’s certainly not the Ferrari of gutters
@tr1p279 the same company in atlanta charging 6$ for that install will only solder copper gutters and they charge more like 60$ a ft for that. And I don't think they offer copper k-style just half round.
Ide put some rivits then caulk it. Only using caulk seems like your only doing 1/4 of the correct process
I took down a 38ft gutter the other day by myself and after carrying it I thought, how the hell did they create and deliver this thing?! This explains it all 😂
Thats sad
@@ahoksbergen what
I worked for allpro gutters we did one 180ft long
Nice
Same... We had like 20 guys holding that shit up.
How can you have a 1/4 inch fall every 8 ft or so with that long of gutter? Without it looking crooked?
@jeffscricket23
In theory you could make it get a little taller as it went.
But they probably just used multiple downspouts
Whats your charge per linear foot? $3.50 ?
We put the hangers ever 12” but maybe in your area they do them every 24”
Nice gutters tho
Thanks
SMACNA code is every 30". 24 is fine.
12 is overkill.
If you live in an area with lots of snow, 24” spacing will fail. We do 16”
@@claycook9404 We do 16" in SLC UT. I personally run our gutter trailer all by myself :)
I've never seen that gutter machine. That is so cool
126ft! We ran 4 downspouts and took about 3 people to hang
What is that, 40 meters?
38.4 meters@@tuju-
What’s “about three people”? 3.2 😅
@@serolog periodicity we had to have a 4th get it positioned 3 to run it up the ladder
@@serologapproximately 3.54 people
The second layer of silicone caulking on top acts as a dam, raises the water level and holds a small amount of water along the gutter. There exists a a butane rubber gasket that does a much better job, but not many use it.
The hole die stamp could put a drop flange so the insert sits flush. should only need caulking underneath, and no pooling water created. I suspect your brain works like mine. good wishes.
Came here to say this. It will also catch debris.
Shouldve just riveted it and sealed underneath
Exactly. And with that length of gutter, that’s a lot of stale water when the rain ends and lots of dirt left inside overtime.
YUP! The end cap can be squirted with silicone pre-affixing it too. Squirt, tap with a mallet, seal again.
I'm used to modular plastic gutters that connect up to form any required length with moulded in spouts for modular or chain down links . Placement of brackets is critical to direct the flow .
We had 4 guys do 80 feet of seamless gutters at the shop today, they had 2 scissor lifts, and availability to use any of the 15 drill drivers at the shop to make install more efficient.
They forgot the end caps and left at 11:30am to go to the bar. Pretty impressive work.
Nice install. Biggest coil is 150' and seen gutters at 125' in 6"k style
We have coils that are a little over 700ft we keep in stock for our gutter crews we have ran seamless gutters 300+ft we call money makers because the crews get some pretty good bonuses on those longer runs and it usually takes the same time as a regular gutter
My Installers can install 60' runs by themselves, we only using 032 gauge
This is the first time as someone who installs gutter as a living that I can say that's a good job I don't see many companies do it correctly but this is great I personally don't use clipped hangers but it's a preference but good job.
Thanks
i love that theres still tradesman like this, genuine experts in their field who clearly care about the quality of work they do
You know they're legit with Makita.
Makita ftw
so real
I build 100m dollar buildings routinely and there are no Makita tools on the entire jobsite.
Fuck makita i tried them once and went back to my 22 year old bosch cordless when the plastic trigger on the makita broke.
This is why I love construction, it’s not simple once you get your hands into it
I mean, gutters are pretty simple, one of the simplest construction trades, can't actually think of something easier

I have put a 72 ft peice up by myself 28 years in the business and owner since 2003.I have a 5inche Knudson and a combo Knudson for sale.Machimse have the corgaded crimp in the back which makes them stronger, than the flat line.
Y'all need to step your game up back in my day. We did a 1000 mile gutter in a day.
It was uphill both ways, too
While it was snowing!
It must not rain there a lot, 86 ft and one downspout to handle that many square?
Two 3x4 downspouts
One at each end. As wise old Rafiki said; "Look harder."
I don’t ever have a super long gutter installed unless there is a area in the middle of the run where the gutter can expand in the heat. I will guarantee the gutters will buckle eventually.
Tbh if they use guttering like this in the uk they tend to hide them with another box so probably insulated
Yup. Needs an expansion joint. Maybe even two.
Lol what?? 😂😂😂.
gday
i have installed 31 meter and a offsider who had worked for me ! had installed a 50 meter in one continuous length !
I installed 17m on my own !
using hangers !
u shape brackets with a hinge i made !
I used to do this job in Florida in the early 80s, machine was in the back of truck W/all the tools & supplies. A 3 man crew per truck.
How many people could it possibly take to install a 86' gutter
2
They’re not heavy
They’re not real heavy, but it’s awkward if you’re not careful it can bend and kink
3 would be ideal, especially in heavy wind.
86 people..one person every 12” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The coolest thing I have seen the gutter guy do is cut an x for the downspout drain. Then he folds those ends down and screw them into the downspout. No leaks
👍
The x cut works but is sloppy compared to the proper way.
The longest I've run and installed were two runs somewhere around 130' each. We installed 7" gutter, which comes at a slightly thicker gauge than 6" gutter. There were three of us on that job due to the length.
We didn't have to pitch the gutter that much since we installed four 4"x5" two-story downspouts on each run. Florida and those torrential rains...
I loved those types of jobs! We got paid by the foot and straight runs go up fast!
get it boys. Easiest Home work right there. Framers. brick layers must envy these Men. lol. Nice looking gutter there.
It amazes me the amount of people who call silicone caulk.
Maybe because that's what it's called... Not all caulks are silicone, and silicone is availble in many other forms besides caulk. That's why It's called Silicone Caulking. What do you call it??
@@ecaparts silicone and caulking are two different things. One is silicone and one is caulk. Caulk being paintable and silicone not. Two completely different substances for completely different uses.
@@ecaparts sorry I also forgot caulking is usually acrylic or latex. This not silicone
My brother would slap me if I played with gutter caulk the way you do. Its says right on the tube "No Tooling needed". Lmfao. My bro is a master carpenter.
It needs to be tooled for a reason in this application. If it's not tooled, there's going to be a small water dam. Maybe use your head before commenting.
Wtf does a carpenter know about gutters?
Anytime someone says they're a master at something turns out not to be a master at all 😅
Longest one we ever did when I used to do gutters was 160 ft. It was copper (heavier) and we needed 3 of us.
That shaper was a game changer to guttering!
Silicone not caulk
The tube says gutter caulk
caulk can be silicone or acrylic latex and probably a bunch of other stuff.
caulk is any waterproof material that fills and seals joints between building materials.
Really! We understand what he meant!
It's sealant! Is that better?
Caulk is more funner to say. Never let go an opportunity to say caulk.
With a roll forming machine that uses same principles as a roll former for roofing iron , depending on how much is on coil you can make guttering as long as you like.
You know they're pros when the literal gutter itself is made in house haha
Its cool, less connection points, less leakage.
And mounting this length with only 2 people is amazing.
I was rolling out continuous gutter on site 30 years ago, that machine is nothing new. Good work.
Wow brilliant machinery!
👍
I use hanger every 16" for snow load during winter season.
I've seen these types of machines at jobsited before. Honestly, you can watch them work all day!
I love this channel so much. One of my favourite on YT.
Wow, thanks!
Wow much better than pvc. This holdings are insane
Oh boy! I need those guys at my place!
They make it look so easy!😯
I do gutters myself and 86’ with two people is dry impressive
Did a 160ft steel gutter once. Careful with the long runs on aluminum 6" they like to buckle
I run a gutter crew in Nova Scotia. We ran two pieces 202 feet long took 7 of us to get them up and into place
My dad has his own company and started out only doing gutters and so one of the first things on a house I learned was gutters and our process was very similar to this but my dad had more cost effective ways to do things which also saved more time
People don't really realize how important gutters are - until they have interior leaks. There is such a huge difference between 4" and 6" gutters. I replaced my 4" gutters with 6" gutters and my home sounds entirely different now when it rains and the rain runoff is actually controlled.
I like those end caps that saves 5 minutes of fuck around
Thats So cool, that punch for d. Spout is so cool. I used to drill hole and tin snip with little nicks thru the glove. Blood on the white gutter, lol
We did hangers every 24" as well. The longest we ever did was about 120'. That was also 20 years ago, but I still miss doing gutters every now and then.
👍
What a beautiful work I can watch this all day ❤
Thank you
86 foot is about the max 2 guys can do nicely without getting kinks or rigging some bracing on the ends. We would use 3 on it just so the center guy can tack it high, then go double check our line up with ends.
In my area, hangers are 36 inches on center. 12" from ends. I have never seen it be an issue in 24 years. No snow or ice here, though. That's the difference. It would bow at 36" with snow or ice.
I've never seen a 1/4" per 8 foot pitch before either. Not on residential, it would stand out like a sore thumb on the level fascia and roof line. It drains via gravity, not flowing, so it just needs to be lower to completely drain. Just watched it in real time yesterday yesterday a job in the rain. After a couple minutes of rain, the gutter is half full and just draining, no "flow" going on really. As long as it has a downspout every 30 foot or so, it'll drain. It is a pitch that makes sense on a warehouse where there's not a picky homeowner.
It's also weird to see the hangers actually clipped on the back. That only works when it's a metal roof with no drip edge. Otherwise, the back of gutter is under the drip edge. You can't clip. You don't normally do that also because the back of the gutter is higher than the front, so that it overflows towards the front, instead of into the soffit. You'd have noticeably angled hangers that you'd see doing it like that.
Part of my home service business is cleaning gutters here in GA. I'm definitely impressed with these guys, i see gutter all the time with basically no fall or installed horribly. These dudes are definitely pros
👍👍
Every two feet for the brackets is not enough if you live where it snows heavy and has ice. I owned a gutter machine in the past and have done tons of gutter jobs , we always put brackets every 16" on center.
Smoothest job I have ever seen. Let me post a video of me hanging a 15' section with 3 people....Absolute SHITshow🤣🤣 I love watching these crews Efficiency.
I like the crimped ends 🎉does away with that old rivets 😎
Yall make its seem way more difficult than it needs to be. Also those hangers are just as good as basic hangers. Just more expensive and make the average joe able to stick a screw into fascia board
I did gutters for 6 years and the longest I did with just two guys was 120 ft. The longest we ever did was around 180 that I was there for
I have a love/hate relationship with gutter guys, as I am a independent contractor who specifically dose siding sawfit and facia, I'm just here to say my metal is always great it's the builders who can't do there job anymore.
I just fixed my gutter the other day. Cool to see how you do it.
Damn that looks super simple, last time we have to hand cut,crimp and make all our details...lots of rivots😂😂
It seems you should have it level with a bunch of down spouts . One down spout at that length of gutter you will have inches of water constantly on the far end from the downspout.
Im impressed, I didn't know such a portable gutter making machine existed.
Awesome job work
Thanks!
Something about rain. Gutters is calling my name. I need me a different job doing rain gutters.
Everyone calls them "gutters," though they're actually "eavestroughs" (which literally makes more sense and still is the word used in some regions.) 😎✌️
whoa this is cool! we don't really use gutters where i live. I've probably specified 2 on plumbing plans in like 3 years. i had no idea how it was done
I’ve done 160ft of single seamed gutter with two downspouts for a barn 🙌🏽
Nice
I’ve done 160ft of single seamed gutter with two downspouts for a barn with 4 people about 30 to 40 ft apart from each other
Don't know rains in that area. But in my country it rain so heavy rainwater will overflow from 80 feet gutter if it has only two down pipes for that much sized building.
I love this man already
I usually check level against the facia then I just do the old trick of raising one end and doing the math for my center and quarters position. Potentially my eighths as well with this particular job being so long. Then I just eyeball the rest but that skill comes with training.
If you get a lot of thermal expansion on that long gutter I would expect that you’re going to see a split somewhere along it. I’ve had a long gutter on a commercial building that did the same thing (split). Good luck
I used to do gutters. We considered those days our easy days. It looks great guys!
Thanks
Legend has it, they are still completing a 10mile gutter to this day
😂
Should use rivets instead of zip screws. They won’t rust or snag leaves. You’re welcome.
Better than plastic gutters that end up in landfill and zero waste
Wow, that's an awesome crew. Quality looked great!
The caulk on top of the rect. cut out needs a channel for water so none stays stuck. Beautiful seamless though
One of those hammers that also measures, so cool!
Done one in copper and brazed ! We build for 400 years in Europe
You can run a piece of gutter hundreds of feet long the problem is expansion and contraction the aluminum will expand and contract faster than the house which will cause slices in the back of the gutter where the gutter hangers scew to house. Ive seen this on aluminum guttering 60ft and over. I hung a 100 ft run by myself. It was a earth burm house if u wondered how?
I did a 50ft gutter at my house. I had already installed the hangers (L-shaped aluminum from Depot). 3 people to carry it up. 10 min and done.
In sask ,in the 80s same gutter machine we did 210 ft 3 guys to hang on the pig barn
Worked for a gutter company one longest run i think we did was 160ft steel gutter 5in
Once yiunstart to get longer tham that you pretty much need to do 2 peice because of expansion and contraction in our climate. In warmer climates it might be easier to do longer ones with now joints.
I once did one 3 miles long only took 5 people to lift and it looks so good when you look at it from another country
Good job
end of roof is over half of the gutter - so in heavy rain it will just spill over
also, the edges where it was folded are cracked. I dont know the material, but as it is coted i think its not corrosion resistant. If this is true, no precautions on this will ensure it lasts not very long.
My biggest gutter install was 156feet
I did mine myself 😑 If I could of afforded a crew I certainly would of they made that look easy. I got so many cuts and dips I had to go back and fix🤦♂️ next time I will save up for a crew like this.
I did a 117ft seamless aluminum rain gutters 5in k-style
Must be very different codes to allow 86' between downspouts
Codes? The building departments in iowa could not give a shit less about your gutters
This means they are not seriously considered trades persons. Hahaaahaa.
This is actually so freaking cool!
