How are gutters secured to the home?
There are a variety of acceptable installation methods, which all depend on the specific job specs. However, most homes with a flat fascia board should have gutters installed using hidden hangers fastened with screws. The benefits of this installation method are as follows: (1) they allow the gutter to float at the lip for expansion and contraction, (2) quality hangers will not rust, and (3) hidden hangers are much stronger than other tested installation methods.
