Case Study: Intel from Castle Rock

Is the gutter too short, or is the roofer at fault? The answer here is both. The gutter is too short for roofing standards. The shingles should hang over the edge about 1/2", as they do, AND the gutter should be longer than that. However, the gutter was there first. The roofer should have installed some flashing to guide the water into the gutter. Town of Castle Rock inspectors should have found this because it's at every corner of this house.

This short clip from Castle Rock shows a common failure point where water misses the gutter. A professional roofer should install flashing to correct this, a detail local inspectors should catch.
