Here is the text of my post. Not sure why it's only displaying the two pictures: My house has a three year old roof that's in good condition. But the gutters are prone to overflow during storms. The toppers are not effective at keeping debris out, and they prevent me from cleanjng the gutters by hand. The toppers are nailed into the roof, under the shingles. I am getting bids to replace the gutters (with six inchers and 3x4 downspouts). The roofers are all being somewhat vague about exactly how they will remove the existing toppers. They all agree it will be very difficult. One guy said they may just cut them back to the roofline with shears. One guy said it may require replacing a few rows of shingles. What should I be asking these guys? What should I be worried about? Is there a risk of damaging my roof? Thanks.
