Default new metal roof with new gutters - disaster

Hi All,

I'm out in the sticks in NW Florida. Had a new metal roof with new
seamless gutters installed on a two story.

The roof looked decent enough but the gutter was just wrong looking. I
brought it up to the "project manager" and he said it would be "fine".
Problem is -- the metal roof overhangs the gutter about 75% or more of
the width of the gutter. Water comes off the roof and 90+ percent of it
goes right over the edge of the gutter and lands on the walkway and
stairs below. I'm no longer in Kansas -- I'm in crazy town.



I'm so far back in the sticks that getting another pro out here is
problematic. Skilled labor can be a crapshoot here. How far do I let
this gent go before bringing in another company from the nearest city and
taking the original guy to small claims court?


In a heavy rain I can see it going far and missing the gutter. He may
be able to add a drip edge to help.

As mentioned, take a video for evidence. Sounds like the guy is jerking
you around.
