Rain Gutter Installation on Metal Roof in Sun Prairie, WI
We recently completed a gutter installation project on a pole building located on Bailey Road in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. When installing gutters on buildings with metal roofs, we emphasize the importance of planning for winter ice.
The smooth surface of a metal roof can cause ice and snow to slide off rapidly, potentially damaging or ripping off gutters. To mitigate this risk, we strongly recommend the installation of ice stops along the roof.
Another preventative measure is to secure the gutters to the roof using straps, rather than solely relying on fascia board mounting. This provides additional support and helps the gutters withstand the weight of ice and snow.
