Gutter corner prep - Part 2 ✅💧 Before we touch the snips, we “set” the metal with the hammer so the lip/edge sits flat and the corner can close up tight. Skipping this step usually means tiny gaps… and tiny gaps turn into leaks. Shape first → cut second → tight hand-mitered corner. 🔨✂️🔧 #gutters #handmiteredcorners #gutterguysplus | Gutter Guys Plus

Hand-mitered corners aren’t just for looks - they’re one of the strongest, cleanest ways to join gutters. When we “hand miter” a corner, we custom-cut the gutter pieces so they fit together tightly, then we seal and fasten the joint to help create a smooth, leak-resistant connection. Why it matters: - Better fit than many pre-made corners - Cleaner water flow around the turn - Fewer weak points = less chance of drips over time Tip: If you notice staining, dripping, or water pooling near a corner

The right way? It starts before the snips. ✅ Most people skip this quick hammer step, but it helps “set” the metal so the lip/edge sits flat and the corner can close up tight. If you cut while it’s still bowed or misaligned, you’re basically building a gap into the corner… and that’s where leaks start. 😬💧 Shape first → cut second → tighter hand-mitered corner. 🔧💧 #handmitered #gutters #gutterguysplus | Gutter Guys Plus
