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 had the same problem with the new roof and gutters the contractor
installed. I called a gutter company to check it out. They found the
roof too long, and just trimmed it back.

Note, they also found things such as missing gutter nails and improper
gutter slope. The roof may not be the entire problem.
