You’re videos and awesome keep them coming
Excelent video.
Very helpful walk through for us diy by necessity guys😊
I would screw high on the walls of the gutter after sandwiching inside corner piece and main gutters to avoid any leaks from screws and obstruction with end of screw. Then cover screw heads with caulk and with spreading the caulk I would put a bead at the seam only because when the caulk gets thin its starts peeling off.
I would strongly recommend still running the gutters all the way and cutting 45's on them like you would with strip miters. You want as little exposed box miter on the bottom inside the gutter as possible since those things are more less made out of trim coil and are incredibly weak.
Agree for sure!
i install the miter at the truck and yes 45 them
Hey man, love your videos, just found them today. I know they're not real common but if you get a chance can you make a video on how you do your acute angle custom miterz? Yknow, the "V".
Also a video on custom bay corners would be cool!
Definitely next time I get a Jack-knife miter I will definitely make a video on the process! This next season is gonna be big. I'm gonna be dropping alot of knowledge and making alot of content. So forsure subscribe and ring that bell. Appreciate the comments.
@@onegutterguy560 I'll be here for it! Thanks man! If I think of anything else I'll give you a holler haha, you're obviously very skilled.
Any chance you could add onto this video? And show how your hidden hangers work? I’m installing my first gutters and of course the hidden hangers don’t really work unless are on top of the drip edge. Which then I guess means that you’re going to have water running behind your gutters and rotting out your facia.
Just dont clip them on the back of the gutter. Slide the gutter under the drip edge then put the hangers on top of the drip. Let me know if this helps or if you have anymore questions
If I'm installing 1 gutter all around a storage shed, so that I can have one downspout I would need 3 box miters but how much of a drop measurement do I need for each gutter so that the water flows to the downspout?
when installing an inside miter, do you install it flat or at a small pitch down towards the side with the downspout?
Flat if the gutters sloped right you dont need to slope the miter!
Hey. Me and my bother are thinking about buying a machine and starting to run gutters full. time what is some advice you could give us?
Definitely, first Don't mess with home adviser or Angie's list you will constantly be in bidding wars and doing jobs for bottom dollar. There's really two good routes to go. That's advertising and word of mouth to do all homeowner jobs that you you will get paid the most a ft. But your also doing estimates, the work it self, collecting check, etc. Or mostly subcontractor work with depending on the company your working for makes it alot more simple, but your locked in at a certain rate. Another tip is don't under cut your self, something I did for years until I realized my worth. Shoot me a text if you have any specific questions 605 four two one 9436.
Looks way better than the hack job they just did on. my new seamless gutter. They did the cut method and I can see caulk and daylight from the outside of the outside of the gutter and a big gap. Looks. Like shit. I told them I’m not happy with that so they will be fixing it somehow
Get em! Show em my videos so they know how to do it!
Thanks 👍🏻
No problem 👍
Hey man love the content. I want to learn how to do hand cut miters. Could you do a video on how you measure for them inside and outside. I have the KWM 5/6 combo with the smart machine. So basically how much do you add to the length for both miters.
Thanks for the feed back! I will definitely be doing a video on that with in a month. If you have any more questions or suggestions for video just let me know! Out of curiosity where are you located.

Heck yeah your just 5 hours from me. It's always interesting seeing where people are watching from. Do most people do box miters in your area?
@@onegutterguy560 yes they do even on new houses. Some use strip miters. I am like you and want to set my self apart from everyone else with custom cut miters.
Ever do bay windows? Have a video for that?
You shouldn't really need to put any screws in the face or bottom of the gutter. You can just push the box miter up all the way and put a screw in the back of the gutter through both pieces of gutter into the fascia board and then one on the top lip on either side.
That is true and I've done it before that way but this is the way I learned and kinda the standard around where I am. Both ways aren't wrong just different. Thanks for the feedback
Great video'n as far as I can see.
Thanks
Thank you
What I mean is how do you go about measuring the house and then transferring it to the gutter and then cutting it

When field measuring for eave gutter on a hip and valley roof, measure from the inside corner to the outside corner of the fascia and for every outside corner, add The gutter width plus 4 inches for waste. why dose it need to add for waste?
See we don’t screw the bottom. We install a miter on a section then screw from the back then the top lip face and the middle between that screw and the bottom. By doing that the bottoms line up and we don’t have to add extra screws to be seen. Everyone does it differently but we have less screws shown and both bottoms even.
My box mitre won’t quite lock on the top it keeps crimping. Any suggestions
Try your best and caulk the rest!😅
I'm trying to use this method but it doesn't seem like my gutters fit quite as nice into the box miter as what you've shown. I'm using Amerimax. Could it be that this method doesn't apply to all brands? Not sure if I being too picky on the fit. I'm trying to avoid using the coupling strips that Amerimax sells.
Maybe try a different brand of box miters. What kind of machine do you have?
@@onegutterguy560 no machine. I’m just a DIY’r hanging sectional gutters. Unfortunately that’s the only brand in the Big Box stores in my area. It just doesn’t look like this brand intended on installation as you’ve shown. Don’t get me wrong, I want to use the method you’ve shown… just not getting a tight enough overlap with the amerimax brand.
Oh I got you! Maybe they do that on purpose so you have to buy the extra pieces to attach. Maybe look into having a gutter crew run out the pieces to exact length and have them set them down and leave them for you to install. Just a suggestion.
Often times I will cut one half inches off the back of the miter sucks in there nice and tight. I also 45 my cuts on my gutters only took me 15 years to finally figure it out
Does anyone know what kind of tool he used to put the screws in? My cordless drill is not cutting it!
I use dewalt now
