Overview
Hidden hangers are the modern standard for gutter installation, replacing visible spikes and ferrules with internal brackets that are invisible from the ground. These hangers provide superior support, are easier to adjust, and create a cleaner aesthetic. We install premium hidden hangers every 24 inches on all seamless gutter installations.
Benefits
- Invisible from ground level—cleaner appearance
- Superior support vs old spike-and-ferrule
- Will not back out like spikes
- Easier to adjust and relevel
- Corrosion-resistant coated steel
- Standard on all our installations
Installation
Hidden hangers are attached to the gutter's inner front lip and secured to the fascia board with coated screws. Spacing is every 24 inches (or closer for heavy loads). This is the standard installation method for all our seamless gutters.
Maintenance
No specific maintenance. Hidden hangers are designed to last the life of the gutter system. During inspections, we verify hanger security.
Expected Lifespan
Designed to match gutter lifespan—20–30 years for aluminum systems.
Ideal Applications
All seamless gutter installations. Hidden hangers are the modern standard—we use them on every installation.
Cost Factors
- Included standard on all installations
- Additional hangers for heavy-load areas
- Replacement on existing systems during repairs
Comparison
Hidden hangers have completely replaced old spike-and-ferrule systems. Spikes back out over time, creating sagging gutters. Hidden hangers provide superior, long-lasting support and a cleaner appearance. There is no reason to use spikes in modern installation.
