FAQs
What are hidden gutter hangers and why are they better than traditional spike-and-ferrule systems?
Hidden hangers are aluminum or stainless-steel brackets that latch into the front lip of a K-style gutter and screw directly to the fascia board. Because the fastener is inside the trough instead of running through its outside edge, nothing is visible from the curb, giving your roofline a clean, uninterrupted look. Structurally, hidden hangers grip the gutter along a broader surface and use corrosion-resistant screws rather than nails, so they are far less likely to work loose under the weight of water, ice or debris. This tighter attachment also helps the gutter maintain the proper pitch, minimizes leaks at the fastener holes and greatly extends service life—important advantages in Speedwell’s freeze–thaw climate and frequent spring downpours.
How can I tell if my Speedwell home needs a full gutter replacement instead of a simple repair?
Look for sagging runs, sections pulling away from the fascia, rust or pin-hole leaks along the bottom, peeling paint on the siding, water marks on foundation walls, or rotten fascia boards behind the gutter. If you notice overflow during even moderate rains despite regular cleaning, the gutter’s profile may be too small for Speedwell’s rainfall intensity. Systems older than 20 years that use spikes or have multiple mitered seams often cost more to keep patching than to replace with a seamless hidden-hanger system. We offer free on-site inspections, moisture readings and a photo report so you can make an informed decision.
What gutter materials and profiles do you install with hidden hangers?
For most homes we recommend 0.032-gauge seamless aluminum K-style gutters in 5-inch (standard) or 6-inch (high-capacity) sizes, produced on-site to the exact length of each eave and secured every 24 inches with reinforced hidden hangers. We also fabricate half-round aluminum or copper systems for historic Speedwell properties and coastal-grade galvalume for metal-roofed homes. Color-matched baked-enamel finishes come in more than 20 shades approved by local HOAs, and downspouts are available in 2×3, 3×4 or round profiles to match the water-handling needs of your roof.
How long will a gutter replacement with hidden hangers take and will it disrupt my daily routine?
A typical one-story, 1,500-sq-ft home in Speedwell can be completed in 4–6 hours. Two-story or complex-roof homes usually finish in one working day, though large properties may run into a second morning. Our crew arrives at 8 a.m., removes the old gutters, repairs minor fascia damage, rolls out seamless troughs and installs them with hidden hangers before hauling away all debris. Because we work from ladders or portable scaffolding and protect landscaping with drop cloths, you can stay inside, keep pets indoors and continue daily activities with minimal interruption.
Are hidden-hanger gutter systems compatible with leaf guards or gutter screens?
Absolutely. Since the hanger sits beneath the upper lip, it does not obstruct most covers. We offer drop-in aluminum screens, reverse-curve hoods and premium stainless-steel micro-mesh guards—each trimmed on-site to fit tightly over the hidden hangers. Adding guards during installation ensures that the gutter pitch is set correctly, the fasteners won’t interfere with the cover’s edge, and you’ll reduce future cleaning to an occasional hose rinse rather than seasonal ladder work.
What warranty and maintenance should I expect after my gutter replacement?
Our hidden-hanger systems carry a lifetime manufacturer’s warranty against rust or rot, a 20-year no-fade or peel finish warranty, and a 5-year workmanship warranty covering leaks, improper pitch or loose hangers. Maintenance is straightforward: visually inspect the gutter each spring and fall, clear any accumulated leaves (especially near downspout outlets), and check that splash blocks or underground drains remain unobstructed. We also offer an affordable annual maintenance plan that includes cleaning, resealing end caps and re-torquing hanger screws to keep your new gutters performing flawlessly in Speedwell’s heavy rainstorms.
