Attach Gutters To Old Brick Facia

I am currently building a second storey on to our 35yr old sandy speckled brick home.

Attach gutters to old brick facia.

A house without a fascia the piece of wood below the last shingle has to have gutters installed using roof straps. The gutter is then suspended from the roof with this installation a tie back strap should be installed as well. In most cases the roof strap has to be secured right on top of the shingles. Just hook the bracket under the front lip of the gutter and then screw the other side of the bracket to the fascia.

Next the gutter snaps or hangs into place on the brackets. This is done with the use of what is a t bar hanger it is a hidden hanger with an attached strap the is secured to the roof deck. Use stainless steel machine screws and a flanged nut to attach the gutters to the brackets. If the roof is older it is not wise to try and lift up the shingles to get the strap under because you can damage or break the shingle.

Sometimes the roof needs repair in addition to the gutters but you aren t able to complete both projects at the same time. For most applications wood screws or lag bolts are turned into a wooden fascia board to hold up the gutter brackets. Leave the old spikes in place a spike head looks better than a hole in the gutter. The tiles are original like jasper colour.

They re fitted to the gutter hanger and then they are attached directly to the roof. One way to make sure your gutter doesn t fall off the house is to install fascia hanger brackets. This page address the installation of gutters with a home that does not have a fascia board to attach the gutter to. But a brick wall.

Drill 3 16 inch holes into the gutter s front edge using the holes in the brackets as a guide. I have chosen surfmist for new windows. These straps act as a sling for your gutter.
