[quote=Anonymous]We had a local design build firm do a large addition last year. They used 4" gutters which were not specified in advance via contract or conversation. When we have rain like last night (or the 6 times prior this year), the top level gutter overflows and pours water into a landscaped bed and is eroding the soil and killing the plants. I now realize that 4" gutters have not been used as a standard size since the 60s or 70s. No idea why they were used here ... maybe the builder had extras or got a good price. The builder is aware of the problem and suggested that his team would do the remediation. He's a nice guy so I'm not trying to start beef with him, but is this an expense that he should bear or is this on me (in which case I'll bid it out)? I feel like he should have done it right the first time and his work is guaranteed for a year (we're still within that), so this should be on him, but maybe not. What do you think?[/quote]
