Gutter installation tools in Dunwoody, GA

IRWIN 100-ft Chalk Reel — Getting the right pitch is the most important part of a working gutter system, and this simple chalk reel helps us do that every time. We measure out the run and snap a line with a slight ¼-inch drop for every 10 feet. That’s just enough slope to keep water moving toward the downspout, not sitting still in the middle. No fancy gadgets, just solid tools and a clear line that helps us do honest, quality work the way it should be done.

Midwest 14-Gauge Gutter Snips — Corners are where gutters get tricky, but with the right snips, we cut clean miters that fit tight without bending the metal or chipping the paint. These snips work great on standard aluminum gutters and give us the control to shape and trim by hand. We don’t use automated machines—just sharp blades, strong hands, and a careful eye to make sure each piece locks into the next without gaps or weak spots.

Amerimax Quick-Clip Hidden Hangers — We trust these hangers because they hold up over time. They’re tucked inside the gutter so they’re hidden from view, but the strength they give is real. We slide each one under the front lip and screw them directly into the rafter tails every couple of feet. It’s not the flashiest method, but it keeps gutters from sagging or shifting—especially important in Georgia storms when heavy rain tests every bracket.

Malco Gutter Downspout Hole Saw — Cutting the hole where the downspout connects is a step we never rush. This tool lets us drill a clean, round hole in one go, which means the downspout collar seats flat without leaving room for leaks. It’s simple but makes a big difference in making sure water actually drains where it’s supposed to. We take our time and do it right, so you don’t have to worry about it later.

OSI Quad Max Gutter Sealant — Whether it’s sunny or drizzling, this sealant works great and sticks where it should. We apply it to every seam, corner, and cap to lock out water and prevent leaks. The bead stays flexible even in Georgia’s summer heat, and we smooth it with a gloved finger for a clean finish. We don’t skimp on sealant—it’s what holds the system together and makes a small job last for years.

WORKPRO Heavy-Duty Rivet Gun — We use rivets to secure connections because they don’t loosen up like screws. This manual rivet gun gives us just enough power to pop aluminum rivets into corners, outlets, and other joint areas. It’s a hands-on process that takes a little time, but once it’s done, the joint won’t budge. We prefer the old-school approach when it holds up better than newer, bulkier options.

Johnson 9-Inch Magnetic Torpedo Level — Before we call a job done, we double-check slope with this small but powerful level. Its magnetic edge sticks to the back of the gutter so we can see the pitch clearly without holding it awkwardly. A quick glance at the bubble tells us if the water will flow the right way. It’s just one last check that we always make to be sure things are right before we pack up.

Roof-Work Safety Harness Kit — We might be a small team, but we don’t take shortcuts when it comes to safety. This basic harness is what we wear every day on the job, especially when we’re working on steep or high roofs. It’s not fancy, but it keeps us safe. Gutter work isn’t worth risking a fall over, so we always strap in before we step up.
