I am having a re-roof done including new gutters and downspouts. The
gutter guy came out yesterday and installed the gutters and downspouts.

Some of the downspouts are not perpendicular. If I measure the distance
in from the end of the house to the downspout, I get 7 inches at the top
of the downspout and about 6 in at the bottom of the downspout, so about
an inch difference, from a distance this is noticeable to the eye. This
is a single story Ranch style home, so the downspouts are about 7 feet
long.

In other spots the distance is 1/2 or 3/4 of an inch.

Besides visually not being straight is there any disadvantage?

Screws into plastic anchors into the stucco hold the downspout straps in.

Am I being anal? Should I just reposition them myself, or call the
roofing company?


They may have installed them plumb and it's your walls which are off. I
personally would have them follow the walls a bit closer but I think what
you have is not unusual and I would not worry about it. A lot of houses are
not very straight, level, square, or plumb and nobody ever notices.
