Gutter Installation Question
 

Taking off gutters that have been on the house for almost 40 yrs (and show
it). At that time the gutter hangers were nailed into the roof . The roof
is being replaced and this time the new gutters will be attached to the
fascia board with (obviously) fascia board hangers. My fascia boards are
not vertical but slant inwards (top to bottom) towards the house . My
question---Is there a way to compensate for this? That is, how is the gutter
kept level. Is it as simple as adjusting the hanger to compensate for the
angle of the board?

Maybe you can make some mounting blocks with the complementary angle to
permit mounting the hangers vertically.

Did a bit of searching and found that they make a product called (aptly
named) "gutter wedges" for just for that purpose. They make them to
accommodate different angles and the cost ranges from a whopping $0.39-0.79
each.
