There is a small section of a 20oz copper gutters we
contracted to replace on the opposite corner of this house for Mr. Masood. It is
in a high security gated area, so you would not be
able to get close enough to get a look at the back gutter work we
did unless you are strolling the golf coarse behind it. These copper
gutters were to replace the steel concave fascia gutters that had
clogged even though they have no tall trees near the house. He had us replace
just that back
corner of the house that was giving them the most grief for now, and
maybe do the whole house later.
 
He did
not want us to install leaf screens over the gutters, since there
are no trees near the house, even though he would not benefit from
our no-clog warranty. On my own initiative I decided make some super
sized outlets in them, since his gutters are so hard to access. The
old gutter outlets were only 1.5" x 2.5", and these new gutter
outlets are 3.25" x 10", which is 867% larger.
I later found out that his maintenance teams
had never cleaned the gutters and all the old gutters along the back
side were completely clogged. The area I worked on just happened to
be the lowest area, so that is where the overflow occurred.
This portion of 80' of gutter and 47' of
downspouts with a white painted aluminum fascia cover cost
$2,645.31. There was a good deal of cost for hard
installation. As you will see below; our 32' ladder was extended
further than it should have been and it still was not long enough
for a good position.

The whole house has over 1,000' of gutters
plus the length of all the downspouts. It would have cost another
$24k to finish the gutters, but our work relation eroded
through impossible communication issues working through their staff
workers, so they will need to find another contractor to finish this
house. It would have been quite a feather in our cap, but working on the dormer
gutters would have proven to be very challenging to say the least, so it was
probably for the best.
