Seamless gutter installation in Oakley, Asheville

Look closely behind the gutter on this Oakley home and you’ll see a detail that’s easy to miss from the yard. Our crew used wedges between the gutter and the board at the edge of the roof. Here’s what they do.

Why put a wedge behind a gutter?

The board behind a gutter is called the fascia. When it sits at an angle, fastening a gutter flat against it can tip the opening forward or backward. A wedge fills the space behind the gutter so the opening can sit upright under the roof edge. The crew can then set the slope along the run toward the downspout.

What we look at on your house

When we come out for an estimate, we look at how water leaves the roof, what the gutter will fasten to, and where the downspout can take the water. If your roof edge calls for wedges, we can show you where they’ll go and what you’ll see from the ground.
