Why It's Dangerous To Install Your Own Gutters
- 1. Why It’s Dangerous To Install Your Own Gutters It’s amazing how some people think they know how to install their own gutters when they’ve never been in the business or trained in this kind of work. They believe it’s an easy job and all they need to do is go to the hardware store, pickup some gutters and a ladder and that’s it. There’s more to installing gutters such as the right type of gutter for their house, a heavy sturdy ladder, proper shoes and clothes, gloves and more tools that the professionals use. All gutters are not the same and neither are houses. There are many different types of gutters and gutter guards that only the specialist knows which to use. He is trained in this field of work, has been doing it for years and is licensed and bonded. The dangers of installing gutters yourself are losing your balance and falling to the ground causing serious injuries and in some cases death. An unsteady ladder is one reason you can fall or the wrong footwear or clothing. You can catch your clothes on a sharp edge of the old gutter and fall or hang yourself. You can’t just nail the gutters to the board, if you even know where to attach them. It will take you half a day just setting things up, then the day is shot before you actually get to the job. You’re already exhausted and frustrated and you get in a hurry and many accidents happen because of your impatience. When you try to save money and are determined to do the work yourself, it ends up costing you much more money in the long run. There was an incident where a gentleman would not pay a professional to install his gutters so he tried to install them himself. He lost his balance,

He lost money from being off work, so he didn’t have the money for a professional and he had damage to his ceiling and walls from cracked and clogged up gutters that caused the rain water to seep into the interior walls. He had the repairs done but did not have the money for a gutter guard specialist. Had he done this in the first place he wouldn’t have two cracked ribs, he would be working and wouldn’t have needed the repairs. The best lesson learned is to leave the job for the professional.
