During eight years of replacing gutters on homes it is evident that full gutter replacement usually has to occur when the existing rain carrying system has failed.   Problems usually begin with gutter systems of old that used gutter spikes that enter in the front of the gutter and fasten to the fascia board behind the gutter.  The recurring issue that we see is that the spikes over time move and shift due to heavy loads (ice), moisture and heat.  The biggest challange with the gutter spikes is that they are typically fastened in one area and it is extremely difficult to move or manipulate the spikes when the system begins to fail.  Here are a few photo examples of the gutter spike system.






New replacement gutter systems use hidden hangers to provide ridgidity as well as the ability to manipulate the fastener or add additional securing devices if needed.  The hanger is secured to the gutter and then actually screwed into the fascia board from the back of the gutter which makes for a tighter fit and a gutter that is not likely to fail over time.  Here is an example of the hidden hanger system at work.
