We were changing the gutter because the homeowner was changing colors and decided to put all new soffit, fascia, and gutter, as well as a roof.īTW, it is nice to see more gutter contractors on here!:thumbsup: It is good to hear and give different opinions. All pop rivots were in place except for 2 in the back-side of the gutter on a 90' piece. We had to take a knife to cut the sealant in order to get the corners apart.

And with expansion and contraction of two pieces into a weaker piece will cause more chances for leakage, especially if screws are used in fastening the strip-miter. But the gutter will expand just the same as a mitered corner or as strip. It is clear you are using a quality sealant when you say it pulls the paint off the gutter.
