I am in a little bit of a dilema. I have a 20 year warranty shingled roof. It is around 10-12 years old. Over the past 3 years I have had about 3-4 leaks in various parts of the house. My question is what are the alternatives to getting a new roof. I just dont currently have the funds to aford a brand new roof. Is there anything that can help me get by for a while without be too expensive and actually work.

Preparing to install 5” K profile; seamless aluminum. Seems to me that one of the biggest challenges is to get good gutter slope so as to avoid standing water. Okay, I’m a newbie, but it seems to me that if I want my mitered corners to line up properly – then they need to come together at the same height, yes? So, let’s say I have a rectangular house 30ft x 50ft and four mitered corners – where would the high end of the gutter slope be (downspouts would be near each corner)? It seems to me that if I made the middle of each gutter run the high point (ex 15’ and 25’) – then all my slopes would flow to the downspouts and the miters would all line up nicely (if I allow for difference in lengths). Does this make sense? If so, then I need [B]to “bend” each gutter run at its mid-point so that it will flow down-slope to the corners. [/B] How do I do that? Can I do that? Is there some sort of flex joint to join two gutter sections that are angling down away from each other? I’m not asking what the angle of gutter slant should be or how high up on the fascia I should start. Just asking for ideas on how to create a slope away from the mid-point of a gutter run – high point at the center of the gutter run – so it slopes down toward corners. Thanks, Will
