FAQs
What are hidden hangers, and why are they better than traditional spike-and-ferrule gutter fasteners?
Hidden hangers are internal metal brackets that clip into the front lip of the gutter and screw into the fascia board from inside the trough. Because the fastener is concealed, you get a cleaner look, far less risk of the gutter pulling loose, and no exposed nail heads to rust or stain your siding. Hidden hangers also distribute weight more evenly, enabling your new gutter system to better withstand Old Fort’s heavy rains and the occasional winter ice load.
How can I tell if my Old Fort home needs a full gutter replacement instead of just a repair?
Signs you need replacement include sections that sag or pull away from the fascia, visible pin-hole leaks along the bottom of the trough, extensive rust or pitting, peeling paint on fascia boards caused by chronic overflow, and water pooling near your foundation after storms. If your current gutters are attached with spikes and many of those spikes are backing out, upgrading to a hidden-hanger system is usually more cost-effective than repeated repairs.
What gutter sizes and materials do you install with hidden hangers?
For most Old Fort residences we install 5-inch K-style aluminum gutters with heavy-duty aluminum hidden hangers spaced every 24 inches. For larger roofs or metal-roof run-offs we recommend 6-inch K-style or half-round copper or galvalume options. All systems come with color-matched downspouts and baked-on enamel finishes that resist chalking and fading.
Will installing new gutters damage my roof or existing fascia boards?
No. We carefully remove the old spikes or brackets and inspect the fascia. If wood rot is found, we’ll replace the affected boards before installing the new system. Hidden hangers are secured with corrosion-resistant screws angled to avoid lifting shingles or penetrating the roof deck. The fastener heads sit flush inside the gutter, so neither your roof warranty nor shingle integrity is compromised.
How long does a typical gutter replacement take for an average Old Fort home, and what should I expect on installation day?
Most single-story homes (150–200 linear feet of gutter) are completed in one day. Two-story or complex rooflines may take two days. Our crew will arrive between 8–9 a.m., set up ladders and ground covers, remove and recycle the old gutters, repair any fascia damage, custom-form new seamless gutters on-site, install them with hidden hangers, attach downspouts, and perform a full water-flow test. We clean up all debris before leaving.
Do you provide warranties and maintenance tips for hidden-hanger gutter systems?
Yes. All aluminum seamless gutters come with a 20-year manufacturer’s finish warranty and a 5-year workmanship warranty covering leaks or hanger failure. To keep them performing, we recommend clearing debris twice a year or adding our optional leaf-guard screens, checking downspout outlets for clogging, and visually confirming after heavy storms that water is discharging at least 3 feet from the foundation.
