  • www.AsktheBuild... founder, Tim Carter, hires Todd to make seamless gutters. He shows you how EASY it is! Nothing to it if you buy a $10,000 seamless gutter machine and a $30,000 truck to put it in. Oh, and you have to buy 1,000 feet of flat coil stock at a time. GULP!

    I hang gutter professionally. Was nice to see someone else work in the snow for a change. Hah much love. I like the outlet stamper thing. We use a hole saw. You guys don’t like the box miters? Strip miters?

    • @askthebuilder
      @askthebuilder  Před 4 lety

      Everyone has their own method for miters. This installer had a very creative method and it's been leak-free for several years. Yes, I worked in the snow for decades!

    This is awesome!
    I wish we had a company like this here! this totally ends the main problem of gutters to leak after time!
    The only problem is that very long aluminium will extend quite a distance when getting hot.
    So the mounting needs to be not stiff but flexible as the gutter will be longer on hot days and shorter on cold ones!
    The only real downside was at the end of the video!
    The edges dont look that pretty! Are there no edge pieces?? Why no bolting on edges? Why so little overlap at the edge?
    So pult roofs will be best choice for these gutters because of no edge!

    Can you do a more in depth video on your miters? I do them a similar way but different. The way you do yours looks much easier and faster.

    • @askthebuilder

      Dan, yes I can. Since it's a video to help you make more money, what are you willing to pay to have me set up again, hire a videographer for a day and then pay a post-production person so we can create an in-depth tutorial for you?

      What a douche....I figured it out. My way is better and faster Always looking to try out new ways of doing things. But no need to fix something that’s not broke. Your way looked easier but that’s how you do it... no difference besides our template goes on the inside of the gutter.

    Instead of flap-slicing the corners, Todd could have use a corner joint and sealed them together. Much more leakproof and faster.

    • @askthebuilder
      @askthebuilder  Před 5 lety +1

      Yes, but the way Todd did it looks better. His method produces the same look as you'd have with crown molding installed by a master carpenter. But thanks anyway for your suggestion.

    Those machines are expensive! However you could probably get an old box truck for 5 grand, might need a little work though. Most guys in gutter work hate guys in refinishing work, they power wash the gutters, re-seal them and spray paint them and the old gutters looks new.

    Great work! Will you be doing another video on this topic?

    • @askthebuilder
      @askthebuilder  Před 7 lety +1

      Thanks for your kind words! I thought this video pretty much showed you how a seamless gutter is made. What step of making the gutter was skipped? If you want to know how to install a gutter, that's an entirely different video and I've got little interest at this time in creating it. At this point in time it's not at all profitable to create and put the videos up for free here on CZcams.
      I may create the video and put it up for sale on Amazon if enough people ask for it. It would be a LONG video because there's so much to explain about all the different hangers, methods, back flashing, etc. Would you pay 99 cents to watch a detailed video of the installation? I need to be compensated for the time I put in to create it. What would you do if you were me?

  • @warriorlink8612
    @warriorlink8612 Před 4 lety +1

    There are seams on the corners and where the down spout goes. This machine seems to just creat "less seams"?
    I have had several quotes for seamless gutters on my simple single-story home. All were around $4,000-$4,500. Seems way too expensive for gutters...

    I wish the gutters would stay nice and pearly white like that forever

    • @askthebuilder
      @askthebuilder  Před 5 lety

      Big Al, it's EASY to keep white gutters looking like that! They get grimy and streaked from diesel exhaust soot that settle on the small flat ledge up on the top. When it rains, it washes the soot onto the face of the gutter. All you have to do is when the gutters look dirty spray them with a solution of Stain Solver in the early morning, wait about ten minutes, and rub them with a sponge and rinse. Here's how you get Stain Solver: stainsolver.com It's the only certified organic oxygen bleach made in the USA. I own the company.

      I'm going to be as polite as possible. First, it's not a trendy product. Seamless gutters have been around for three or more decades. They're not inferior. They're superior to gutters you buy in sections and pop rivet together. Knock yourself out at the following website to discover more. In closing, do yourself a favor and stop commenting when you don't know anything about the topic. My suggestion is for you to research the topic first, then come and make comments. www.englertinc.com/rainpro-seamless-gutter-machine.html

      Don't you pop rivot the corners and calk / epoxy the seams also. Also The aluminum is much thinner than in a standard gutter.
      I'm going to be as nice as I can to you. Seamless gutters are a cheap inferior product that are being pushed on the consumer because they can be installed quickly and cheaply. I have been installing gutters for 40 years and I choose not to involved with this lower income fad.
