Hey folks, working on restoring the gutters on the house we bought in the last year. Reasons why I feel this is needed are that the gutters have several sags and the slope is dead flat on on 40 foot run with one downspout at one end.
My plan is to rehang the gutters so the high point is the center with a slight slope towards each end with a downspout on each end.
There are two issues I need to get past, one of which I need input on. The key one (pictures below) is that the fascia seems to be a half board that butts up against the underside of the gutter providing an obstruction so they cannot be hung the way I want. The current gutters are already butt up against the roof line, problem in itself, so raising the center and resting the ends on the board is not an option. I am thinking to correct this would require removing the gutters and the fascia board and replacing with a fascia that spans the full height.
The second issue is that the gutters are currently hung using roof straps but I believe I can cut those off using my sawzall.
