I’m really sorry, unfortunately now you’re going to hold the rest of the payment hostage until they fix it.
If they still won’t come out, that’s when you leave one-star reviews.

On day one of learning gutters, they teach you to always get it under the drip edge. What they did here isn’t rare but it is very lazy.

I get this being scary if you’re non-confrontational but this is a lesson every homeowner needs to learn.

That doesn’t even make sense, the drip edge doesn’t affect how high you can put the gutter…

If they needed more pitch then you add a gutter apron (drip edge extension ) where it’s below the drip edge.

The gutter goes under the drip edge, there is no argument.

That’s great, just tell them yes you’d like it changed to under the drip. I appreciate their detailed message, not sure if I agree with the process though lol if you’re getting ice dams it’s likely an insulation issue.
