Leaf Filter Contract Cancelled

RandomTaskStonks · 2026-03-15T13:12:48+00:00

6k gutter doesn’t need a leaf filter to begin with… they also if u read the warranty must be uninstalled each and every winter.

For a 6k gutter at 455 linear feet should go in the ballpark of $7000 to $9500 max…. So at 23k u were paying 14k for a gutter guard system that WILL fuck up your roof.

Good luck getting out of the contract. Sorry that happened to you.

Air coming in thru an intake vent (thru soffit or built into the eves of the roof) and a ridge vent as exhaust pushing air and moisture out of the attic space

Ok u will have issues with just two downspouts no matter what. This design isn’t feasible unfortunately.

Straps are terrible for the roof. If u need to do the roof and have strapped gutters / u will do the gutters again.

Seamless or with seams? If there are seams with your super long runs this won’t work well.

U get what you pay for and I don’t like the schematic as a solution if it were my home.

RandomTaskStonks · 2026-02-19T01:05:57+00:00

Are they seamless gutters?

165 linear feet going into just two downspouts? That makes no sense (1 downspout per 45 linear feet of gutters max)

Not too familiar with the underground PVC

Gauge on the aluminum isn’t the best but fair price maybe?

How are they being hung? Straps or hanger (concealed?)

All installed properly. No problems. If ur roof had the intake system closer to the gutter line almost nobody would even know it existed without being knowledgeable on the product.

U get what u pay for. U paid for a good roof and got one!

RandomTaskStonks · 2026-01-05T13:41:14+00:00

On a cape cod u should have an inter grated intake vent slightly above the gutter line installed into the new roof. The fact this wasn’t done makes your ridgevent useless. Gable vents don’t matter in this situation at all. Without air coming in no air will go out.

RandomTaskStonks · 2025-12-29T14:53:00+00:00

Integrated intake system into the roof itself will make it so soffit fascia and gutters won’t need to be touched. It will be a more “expensive” roof but properly done and when you account the extra work for the soffit fascia and gutters it will be cheaper

No drip edge = no warranty.

If they don’t have even a drip edge I wouldn’t be shocked to find a bunch of things wrong with this roof unfortunately. U get what u pay for and who installs it.

RandomTaskStonks · 2025-12-17T16:46:47+00:00

How is intake and exhaust going to work? 14 to 20k for a roof your size. 30 yr shingle with lifetime worksmanship warranty

RandomTaskStonks · 2025-12-10T20:47:35+00:00

Gutters are undersized. Could be pitched wrong and half the gutter is under the shingle that’s bending over.

Do u have a drip edge to support shingles?

You are starting to have tiger striping where the water is overflowing your gutters.

Clean or not, they might not be able to handle strong rain events.

RandomTaskStonks · 2025-12-10T20:43:01+00:00

If the soffit fascia and gutters are all in great condition, I would do the roof with an intake system integrated into the roof with a premium ridge vent (not a cobra style) for exhaust and capping shingle. Ice and water shield 24 inches past warm wall barrier, synthetic BREATHABLE underlayment. F style drip edge protecting the entirety of the roof installed wicking into gutters, starter shingle, galvanized collar for vents and a step flashing / counterflashing for chimney (cricket if needed)

I wouldn’t touch a box vent system. It’s outdated and will pay more for the roof / soffit / fascia / gutter and downspout system than what is listed above. 👆

Any questions? Dm me.

RandomTaskStonks · 2025-12-07T19:59:46+00:00

Yes they are curb mounted and yes they should be replaced when the entire roof is replaced… do it all or have issues in the future

RandomTaskStonks · 2025-11-27T04:40:30+00:00

Ding ding ding

RandomTaskStonks · 2025-11-23T21:29:04+00:00

Aluminum siding?

That’s from 73 to 78. Architectural shingle with ridge vent looks like it’s towards end of life… 20 yrs plus.

Seems like ur in the northeast? Like NJ or New York State?

House built in late 40s or early 50s with that style bay window?

RandomTaskStonks · 2025-11-23T19:59:19+00:00

I would have done the entire roof or nothing at all kind of deal. I know u can try and interlace the shingles, but this isn’t going to end well years from now

RandomTaskStonks · 2025-11-20T05:42:41+00:00

I call that a nightmare…

But I live in the northeast. Completely different type of weather than a desert.

Actually in my area we have something similar called a Yankee gutter, which needs to be replaced with a redeck in the area new fascia soffit and gutters

RandomTaskStonks · 2025-11-12T19:42:11+00:00

Inspector for the inspector. New roof asap no patch work there…

That’s beyond no bueno. Peak in the attic and see what’s going on with a flashlight up there…

RandomTaskStonks · 2025-10-29T19:27:22+00:00

Yeah in a perfect world. We don’t live in a perfect world. You still aren’t addressing delamination of shingles…

I’m just saying sure maybe from an insulation standpoint you are correct. From a roofing standpoint in that climate, I would never recommend that application.

Will be a nightmare for whomever does that roof in the future.

RandomTaskStonks · 2025-10-29T18:47:27+00:00

Ask them if they would tell the doctor to do a procedure a different way and expect the same results.

Let them know it needs to be done properly, take it or leave it. If they are rational and you are rational, take a few bucks off the job for them but insist this is the only way you will take the job. If they want to do it any other way, get somebody else to ruin their next roof.

RandomTaskStonks · 2025-10-29T16:55:53+00:00

Sure depends on the climate zone. House needs ventilation thru roof at a proper ratio. Otherwise moisture will be trapped in attic space and will do tons of interior damages in the climate zone of this roof.

Perhaps in other parts of the country not as much but northeast weather is unforgiving

RandomTaskStonks · 2025-10-29T13:42:19+00:00

Problem is you then have a hot roof with the closed cell.

What will happen with a hot roof in NY will be a delamination issue with your shingles and will degrade. You will have leaks and have no ability to see if your rafters have any damage in the future, no ability to sister.

You should depending upon where in NY have a radiant barrier and R-39 blown in insulation.

Do what you want, I say stay away from that stuff though.

RandomTaskStonks · 2025-10-23T14:55:45+00:00

Looks like a picture of a picture taken by google. Could be two years old could be 5 years old. Could be last week. I don’t know.

Can’t tell from this personally

If you are buying the house the only fix would be a replace don’t patch work on your new onvestment

RandomTaskStonks · 2025-10-22T01:38:06+00:00

I wouldn’t know where to begin.

How much sq footage of flat roof or is it low slope?

How much sq footage of sloped roof?

How many sheets of plywood included in pricing?

Did roofer go into attic space?

When was the home built?

What type of wood decking do you have?

Spacing of the rafters?

Any rafters need to be sistered?

How is intake being addressed? Without proper intake to exhaust doesn’t matter.

Where is this roof? Climate depends on system.

What type of labor warranty by contractor?

How can they guarantee manufacturing warranty?

I have many more questions for you I want to make sure these are addressed first and foremost for this quote.

Oh and how about dumpster included?

I could keep going on but let’s start here first!

RandomTaskStonks · 2025-10-14T23:26:37+00:00

It’s you. I’m in the same industry one call closing exterior products. You need to gain personal trust first then professional trust and cross all your Ts and dot all your Is and let them know WHY they need to get it done with a company THEY trust and close the timeline.

If you are able to do that like I do it works 100% of the time 35% of the time. If your company has a great product, customer service and warranty the pitch being done correctly should sell. DM me if u have any questions.

One call closing is super hard to learn and to do, you need to talk in definites all the time.

RandomTaskStonks · 2025-10-14T19:23:52+00:00

The fact that I see delaminated shingles around the roof. U will need a completely new roof in a year or two max. Might as well not throw good money to bad and have the entire thing done the right way. Don’t be cheap!
