Gutter installation is a complex job that requires professional equipment and an eye for safety. It should only be attempted by DIYers who have plenty of experience and know how to handle a ladder properly. You will need a ladder, safety gear, and a pair of ladder extensions for reaching roof edges. You will also need a ladder stabilizer and a bucket to hold tools. It is also recommended to enlist the help of a friend to maneuver ladders and hand you gutter sections.

You can fasten these components with short sheetmetal screws or rivets, which are easier than lag screws and leave no sharp pins sticking out of the gutter seams.
