Safety (be safe at all times, be careful on ladders!)

When installing Gutter Guards, always make Safety your top priority, use your ladder, tools and equipment correctly.

Tools needed:

• Rechargeable Drill & 1/2’ Self Tapping Hex Screws and Magnetic Nut Setter.

• Metal cutting snips Aviation type recommended

• Silicone Caulking, Clear, 100% (GE brand, 4 oz tube works best)

• The correct Ladder and safety equipment

• Gutter scoop & gloves (to clean the gutters with).

Basic Installation Guidelines

• Clean Gutters before installation (use clean as you go method)

• Best to have the gutter guard at an angle (so the wind can blow off debris & leaves).

• Do not install with the gutter guard flat (no slope) because the debris & leaves will not blow off by the wind.

• Recommended to install the inside and outside corners first, then filling in the straight sections in between.

Clean Gutters and downspouts before installation

Clean out the gutters using a plastic gutter scoop, bucket and use gloves. Pro-Tip: Recommended to clean out the

gutters as you install the gutter guard, just clean out a section of gutter putting the debris in the bucket, then install the

gutter guard, then move the ladder and repeat.

There are TWO (2) Methods to Installation the gutter guard: #1 Under the Shingle or #2 Fascia Mount, choose the

method that works for your home

#1 Under the Shingle Method is where the rear Rail of the gutter guard slides under the roof shingle and on top of the

moisture barrier (or tar paper). The rear rail guard is supported by the roof deck, the front rail guard is attached to the

front lip of the gutter, use the Magnetic Nut Setter to fasten the Self-tapping Hex screw to fasten the guard. Typically, the

angle of the guard is enough to allow debris to “naturally self-clean” when using this method.

#2 Fascia Install Method is where the installer bends the rear rail either upward or downward 90 degrees in order to

mount the rear rail to the fascia board or rafter board with a screw. The gutter guard is then “fitted” within the gutter open

area, just under the roof shingle by installing the screw in the front rail to the gutter lip, then installing a screw in the back

rail and into the fascia board. The fascia method requires bending the Gutter Guard rear rail (Up or Down) along the entire

length of the gutter guard, and attaching the raised back rail of the gutter guard to the fascia (not under the roof shingles).

The bend should be up if the rain gutter is more than an inch below the roof, or it can be bent down if the rain gutter is

installed less than an inch below the roof.

Bending the rear (back) rail for fascia mounting 1. Measure the rain gutter opening from the fascia to the inside edge of the rain gutter’s front inside lip. 2. Make the measurement 1/8 less than the actual length measured (measure on the gutter guard from the “front rail stop” towards the back rail) Example: If your measurement comes to 4” you would mark it at 3 7/8” giving you a 1/8” bend. 3.
