How are new Aluminum Seamless gutters attached?



Does the nail go vertically through the top piece of the gutter that
sits under the paper and shingles? Or does the nail go horizontally
through the inside gutter into the rafter. Or can they attach either
way?


I am getting a reroof, old roof torn off and new roof put on, a ranch
style home 4/12 pitch comp shingles. The old gutters that are still
up have the nails going horizontally through the inside of the gutter
into the rafters.


The reason I ask, I would like to paint the eaves before they attach
the gutters. So was thinking they tear off the roof and gutters put
on the new roof and then I paint and then they come back out and
install the gutters.


The other option is I remove the gutters myself and paint the eaves
and the areas where the downspouts go before they start the roof. Let them
install the new roof and gutters and then I finish painting
the rest of the home.


I am getting the gutters that are already painted and I don't want to
get paint on the new gutters and downspouts.


Have the gutters installed a few days after the roof and after you paint.

If you're clever, you can get paint to match the gutters. If, in addition,
you get paint that matches both the gutters and a color that's available in
a spray can, you're golden. (Rustoleum's "Camouflage" is one such color).
Subsequent touch-ups are really easy.
