FAQs
What are hidden-hanger gutters and how do they differ from the old spike-and-ferrule method?
Hidden hangers are aluminum or stainless-steel brackets that clip into the front lip of the gutter and screw into the fascia from inside the trough. Because the fastener is concealed, the gutter has a clean, uninterrupted appearance and far greater strength. Unlike spike-and-ferrule systems—which rely on long nails hammered through the gutter face—hidden hangers do not loosen as wood expands and contracts, so they are less likely to sag or pull away over time.
Are hidden-hanger gutter systems suitable for Mountain City’s heavy rain and winter snow?
Yes. Mountain City receives roughly 45 inches of rain a year and sees periodic snow and ice. We use hangers rated for at least 200 lb of pull-out resistance and install them every 24 inches (18 inches near valleys) to handle the extra load. The screws are coated or stainless to resist corrosion from moisture and road salt, and we pitch the gutter ⅛-inch per 10 ft to keep water moving even during hard downpours.
How long does a typical gutter replacement take?
Most single-story homes in Mountain City can be completed in one day—about 4–6 hours for removal and another 2–4 hours for installing new K-style aluminum gutters with hidden hangers. Two-story or complex rooflines may require a second day for safety rigging and custom miters. We’ll provide a precise timeline after the on-site measurement.
Will installing hidden hangers damage my roof shingles or fascia boards?
No. Hidden hangers fasten directly into the fascia, not the roof deck, so your shingles remain untouched. Before installation we inspect the fascia; if rot is present we replace or re-cap it with PVC trim to ensure a solid substrate. All pilot holes are sealed with exterior-grade sealant to keep moisture out of the wood.
What maintenance do hidden-hanger gutters require after installation?
Maintenance is minimal: clear out leaves twice a year (spring and late fall), check outlets for clogs, and confirm that downspouts are firmly attached. Because there are no exposed nails to back out, re-nailing is unnecessary. A quick visual inspection after severe storms is all that’s usually needed.
How much does gutter replacement with hidden hangers cost in Mountain City, and what affects the price?
For most homes the investment ranges from $8 to $12 per linear foot, including removal of old gutters, new 5-inch K-style aluminum gutters, color-matched downspouts, and premium hidden hangers. Costs vary with gutter size (6-inch for high-volume roofs runs about 15% more), number of stories, fascia repairs, and optional leaf guards.
