I could use a little help, I am trying to find a way to install a Gutter to the face of a the block wall on the side of my garage. I would like to find a way to recess the top edge of the gutter into the block with some sort of flashing that I could attach to or overlap into the gutter. The top picture is the wall, the bottom is a picture of my shop. thanks in advance

Install gutter with use of tapcons instead of the usual gutter screws, recommend 5/16 hex heads 1.5 inch long, used with Brute hangers. (If you need some, PM me, I own a gutter business) You need to counter flash like a chimney. I'm not a mason or roofer, but basically what I would do is cut a kerf a small bit above the top of the gutter and insert a strip of flashing bent slightly less than 90 degrees, and fill the kerf with caulk, probably clear color to blend in with block color.

Thanks Jonny what I a looking for is a flashing thats designed for an application like this. I have a brake but am reluctant to start grinding in the block wall until im sure what I'm doing will work. I will google the brute hangers and hopefully get a image of what they are ,

I would probably just use gutter coil stock as it's much thicker than standard flashing stock.Alteratives would galvanized, copper, or perhaps plastic/rubber membrane.

Can those continuous gutter forming machines be used to make the bend in a continuous piece of coil stock so the flashing is one long piece?
