To replace or add hangers , install screw and ferrule hangers by marking their position on the gutter, drilling the holes in the gutter lip and fascia, then driving the screw with a drill through the ferrule.

Most are attached through the rear of the gutter and into the fascia board, then clipped to the inside-front of the gutter.

If no fascia board exists, use roof hangers with straps, following the package instructions.

Typical installation involves attaching a hanger across the gutter channel, clipping a strap to the hanger, then attaching the hanger under the shingles.
