We Came Up With A $300 Solution For This
Utah Client’s $3,000 Gutter Problem

The Time We Refused To Gain From
Another Company’s Low Standards

When we arrived at this home along the Wasatch Front to reposition the gutter downspout, we thought we knew what we needed to do. As you can see in the above image, the plan was all laid out for a quick and easy repair.

Well, as with most plans, this one fell apart the second we gained a new perspective. As soon as we got onto the roof, we realized there were deeper issues than a misaligned downspout.

As you can see to the right, the seamless gutters on this home were hung with zero support structures. All that was holding the system up were sheet metal screws going through the fragile backside of the gutter and into the fascia.

Some of these sections were dozens of feet long, with nothing supporting the outer wall of the gutters.

That someone hadn’t yet been hurt by the gutters collapsing under winter snow was a minor miracle.

We Were Faced With A Choice – Profit vs Proper

Any serious roofing company would have taken one look at these gutters and condemned them as unsafe. They might be able to hold up under heavy rain but not heavy snow.

And if you’re wondering how dangerous a loose gutter can be, consider the weight of a gutter full of ice and snow and its velocity as it swings from one end on its way to the ground.

We’re not talking about pain here. We’re talking about hospitalization, at best.

So, we had no choice but to advise the homeowners that this situation must be fixed.

Most roofing contractors would insist on replacing the gutters with new ones. It’s the simplest, most thorough method for assuring properly installed gutters, but it would also hit the homeowners with several thousand dollars in unexpected costs.

The other option was to install brackets that would hold the outer wall of the gutters in place while tying the entire system securely to the fascia. The materials cost would be minimal, with the only real cost being the labor needed to install the brackets.

The homeowners were thrilled to accept such a simple and inexpensive solution, and after completing the relocation of their downspout, we installed dozens of new brackets onto their gutters.

With this simple, cost-effective repair, we removed the danger of loose gutters without breaking our client’s bank account. Instead of thousands, it only cost them hundreds.

Did we miss out on potential profit?

Absolutely!

Do we care?

Not even a little bit.

Right over wrong or quality over profit are never difficult decisions for MyRoof associates. They know that integrity drives every decision we make, regardless of the cost.
