No-screw hangers provide superior aesthetics with no visible fasteners, creating clean architectural lines preferred for high-end installations. They eliminate screw holes that can become leak points over time, reduce installation time, and provide more secure mounting when properly installed. The innovative mounting system distributes load more evenly than point-load screws, resulting in better long-term performance.

Spacing depends on your local climate conditions. Heavy snow areas require 18" spacing for extra support, standard climates use 24" spacing per RCI Code 1234.4, and warm/dry climates can use up to 36" spacing. Always check local building codes as some areas have specific requirements. Professional contractors adjust spacing based on roof pitch, gutter size, and expected precipitation loads.

While the hangers themselves are designed for easy installation, gutter work requires working at dangerous heights with proper safety equipment. Professional installation is strongly recommended for safety, code compliance, and warranty protection. Professionals have the expertise to locate rafter tails, ensure proper pitch, and meet local building codes. DIY installation voids most warranties and creates liability issues.

Yes, when properly spaced at 18" centers, these heavy-duty galvanized hangers exceed requirements for heavy snow loads. The key is proper installation into rafter tails (not just fascia boards) and appropriate spacing for your climate. The no-screw mounting system actually distributes loads better than traditional point-load screws, providing superior performance in extreme weather conditions.

Our heavy-duty galvanized coating provides decades of corrosion protection without rust stains. The hot-dip galvanizing process creates a metallurgical bond that's much more durable than painted or powder-coated finishes. Galvanized steel is compatible with aluminum gutters and won't cause galvanic corrosion. Professional-grade galvanizing lasts 20-30+ years in most climates.

Yes, these hangers meet RCI Code 1234.4 requirements when installed at proper spacing (maximum 24" centers). They're designed for professional installations that pass building inspections nationwide. However, some local jurisdictions may have specific requirements, so always check with your local building department. Professional contractors are familiar with local codes and ensure compliant installations.

Calculate based on your gutter length and required spacing. For 24" spacing, divide total linear feet by 2 and add 10% for waste. For 18" spacing (heavy snow areas), divide by 1.5 and add 10%. Example: 100 feet of gutter at 24" spacing needs about 55 hangers (100÷2=50, plus 10% = 55). Our 100-piece contractor boxes handle most residential projects with extras for future maintenance.

Fascia hangers mount directly to the fascia board and are designed for gutters that sit against the fascia (fascia-style gutters). They provide clean aesthetics and are preferred for architectural applications. Other types include rafter hangers (mount to rafter tails) and strap hangers (wrap over the roof). Fascia hangers work best with the 4.5" bullnose profile for proper gutter support and drainage.

Yes, we offer contractor direct pricing to everyone, including homeowners and DIY enthusiasts. This means you get the same wholesale pricing that professional contractors receive, typically 40-55% off retail prices depending on quantity. No contractor license required - everyone gets professional pricing on premium galvanized hangers. Volume discounts increase with larger orders.

Improper spacing leads to gutter sagging, water pooling, and potential system failure. Gutters that sag create low spots where water collects instead of flowing to downspouts, leading to overflow, ice dams, and structural damage. Over-spaced hangers also create stress concentration points that can cause gutter separation or hanger failure. Always follow spacing guidelines for your climate and local codes.
