Gutters are finicky. Special tools needed to do it right and make it pretty.
I could do it but, like you, I do not do ladders anymore.

My personal opinion.... gutters are a waste.
Better roof design (Overhangs by at least 12") and design of the ground apron around the house is more important. Rocks, sloping, etc.

Go outside in the heaviest rains... the rain water is swooshing over the top of the gutters.
Useless.

Oh right, we need them to catch a drip in a slow rain so we don't get wet.

FYI. We are all waterproof
