I'm thinking of installing gutters on the house. I don't know whether to install plastic or metal. Nor do I know how to install them. Any help would be appreciated.

From experience, it's better to get a company that does the continuous, no seam gutters. We put in the kind that came in (I think) 8' sections & after a few years they started leaking at the seams. We now have the continuous gutters & have had no problems for 10 years. Also, be sure that they put in the covers, too..so much easier than trying to clean gutters of leaves & debris..especially after the age of 70!!
I prefer metal, plastic will eventually crack and break. Just have installed, they do not cost that much. Here are some helpful links!

The painted galvanized gutters are the best and you will need help installing them. Instructions should be available at the hardware store where you buy your supplies. You will need to know how many elbows, downspouts, straight lengths, end caps and special nails for nailing to the house so measure carefully.
Thank you that is very helpful.
