Ugly Gutters Part I
I recently went to bid on some repair work on a house where we hadn't installed the original gutters. When I arrived, I noticed mismatched gutters and downspouts. This was a half-million dollar house in Verona, Wisconsin – a place where you'd expect high-quality work.

The installers apparently didn't have all the correct parts, so they resorted to painting many of them. While this may have looked acceptable initially, after a couple of years, the gutters faded and now look terrible. This highlights the importance of using correctly matched parts and avoiding temporary fixes like paint that degrades over time.
