Roof hangers with tabs
Making sure the slope around the bay window is accurate. Extra important when you have an installation with many miters and small pieces of gutters in between.
Hanger bending tool
Using the hanger bender to set the correct pitch is not difficult for these professionals.

It is always a good idea to have the same person bend all hangers, for a specific project. We all use slightly different sight lines so continuity is great.

The bending tool comes with a stop screw. Once you have found your correct pitch you can lock in that setting. To make the hangers and gutter rise and fall you mark that on the hangers as we also show in the installation manual.
Fick Brothers Roofing
Here is another job that the guys and girls over at Fick Brothers Roofing have decided to share with us. This is another great show of craftsmanship, correct drip edges and more.
Removing slate
Removing the slate to get access to the lower portion of the roof.
Small outlet hole
Great picture of how most other systems have outlet holes about the size of the downspout. In this case its a copper system and the outlet is soldered so not a big bridge with caulk. However very small opening to clear debris.
Roof exposed
The two rows of slate have been removed, the older gutter is cleaned out, and it is time to remove the old hangers and gutters.
Bare wood
The roof is now exposed and work can begin.
Blue Glass Roofing
Ronny and his team at Blue Glass Roofing are a safety conscientious, and innovative crowd. They do great quality work on slate, shingles or gutter installations. Ronny also has another company called Slator USA and they work with roof safety, training and tools. In fact he continuously invent roof anchors and other ingenious safety products. They tour the country educating businesses on roof safety protocols, and how to use the right equipment. And some of the most impressive qualities, is their solution oriented approach to everything.
Roof truss brackets
In order to do this installation as they had planned Ronny came up with a bracket he could fasten to the side of the exposed roof trusses. Some of the ends were rotted out and some he could keep. This would be the anchoring point for the hangers.
Post galvanization and painting
Finished products after painting. Matching the color of the exposed trusses, white.
Hanger brackets installed
The string line helps both vertically and horizontally.
Installing the hangers
Using mini clamps to hold the correct position of the hangers. Next step is to drill the holes, and fasten the hangers with nuts and bolts.
J&L Building Materials in Frazer PA
Mid 2019 Nordic Steel Gutters got the opportunity to install our system on the sales office of J&L Building Materials in Frazer Pennsylvania. It also happens to be the head office of the J&L group. They have 7 stores in PA and DE and are a great local resource. We have displays in all locations and continuosly strengthen our cooperation .
Std white K-style
The system was banged up and dirty. The become that due to all the corrugations. Badly needed replacing with the head office across the yard.

A picture says more than a thousand words. This system does not really make much of an impression, or help lift the appearance of the building, rather the contrary.
Copper metallic lifts
Already here we can see a significant difference in how the system interacts with the siding and stone.
Blends well with all colors
This system really picks up and complements the rest of the building.
