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.



The "contractor" is blowing me off, refusing to answering my calls.

Today, I contacted the county building department. They said this
individual did not pull a permit (contrary to the written contract) and
he was not a licensed contractor (I f**ked up not checking out this
individual after he did a superb job on a neighbor's house). They gave
me the number of the state "authorities". I have less than zero respect
for this state "government" -- almost as worthless as the county
"authorities".

The original contract shows this genius was claiming to work under a
certified roofing contractor (or so he claimed) so I will contract them
to find if they will provide cover for this scumbag. Stay tuned -- more
news at 11.
