Classic Example: This photo represents a home installed with no gutters on the upper roof and improperly installed gutters on the lower roof. Notice how the fascia on the upper roof is starting to rot and how you can see the metal flashing above the gutters on the lower roof. This photo shows seamless gutter installed below the metal flashing that has caused the fascia to rot in the photo below. If you can see the metal flashing, the installer didnt have the knowledge, experience and of course brains on how to properly install the gutter.
Roofing Contractors are required to install new metal flashing throughout your home unless YOU, the homeowner instruct your roofer NOT TO REPLACE YOUR EXISTING GUTTER. In the photo above, the roofer replaced the metal flashing in front however the ONLY way the roofer could replace the metal flashing on the left side where the gutter is still in place would be to "back nail" the gutter. Homeowners, this is a big mistake, not big but a huge mistake. Once you tell the roofer not to replace your existing gutter, many roofers simply remove the spikes that are holding the seamless gutter in place and do one of two things; they lower the seamless gutter to install a new metal flashing and then improperly reinstall the gutter as in the photo below to the left or they "back nail" the gutter.
Homeowners to this day, August 27, 2015, are still being ripped off by Florida Contractors (empty promises & assurances) who employ un-qualified installers (imbeciles) as we refer to them and unless you as the homeowner are familiar on how gutters should be installed, you will continue to be ripped off. There is no Building Code so do not expect a Building Inspector to come knocking at your door inspecting your gutters. Please go to our "pricing" page for photos on how gutters should look if they were properly installed.
