Recommended Reviews
We believe improper gutter/slip flashing/drip edge installation by Ratliff caused significant water damage to our home. As shown in the attached video, water was able to flow down between the gutter and the fascia instead of all going into the gutters. Gutters were free of debris. The water was only dripping down from the backside of the gutter, not the front, showing they were not clogged.
The video was taken at the end of a rainstorm when very little water was present. Unfortunately, when it was raining hard, a huge amount of roof water streamed down between the gutter and the fascia. During windy conditions, that water was blown into the seams of our siding and came into the house. The water damaged drywall, insulation, window trim, baseboards, carpet & pad, paint, and underneath the siding materials.
We reached out to Ratliff when we realized what was happening was not a roof leak, but a leak through the siding. Dave and Juan from Ratliff came and did a thorough inspection, removing siding and confirming that the water was being blown through the siding. Previous to Dave and Juan’s inspection, our roofers, in a kind effort to help us stop the leak, noticed the misplaced slip flashing/ drip edge and fixed it. Dave noticed that the roofers had done that and put it in his report. We also showed him the attached video of what happened when it rained (before the fix) and that extra water was present to be blown into the siding.
After their visit, we were emailed a report and given quotes for Ratliff to do additional paid work - siding repair and/or replacement. There was no offer of restitution. We then responded and requested restitution. We received an email from the owner, Danielle Ratliff, stating that they do not believe they improperly installed the gutters, that an engineer should be hired to assess the leak, and that they stand behind their work.
Water should never be leaking between the gutters and fascia. Hiring an engineer to confirm that would be an unnecessary and costly expense on top of the damage repair expenses that they have given us no assurance would be covered by them. So we sent the video again in case Ms. Ratliff had not seen it, and again asked for restitution with no response now for almost 2 weeks.
We believe the cause of the leak is very clear, and unfortunately, very clear that Ratliff does not truly take accountability and stand behind their work.
Updated to address points made in review response:
Dave did explain to us that our house did not have house wrap, and that that was normal since it was not code 30 years ago when our house was built. We have never had a leak until now.
Unfortunately, we didn't notice the problem with the gutters until after the gutter warranty period ended. The Ratliff gutter warranty on labor is only 1 year.
Again, proper gutter installation would not have allowed water to flow between the gutters and the fascia.
Bryan, David, and Danielle were amazing to work with on our complete roof and gutter project on our forever home. These projects are big and expensive, homeowners should choose their contractors wisely. The Ratliff team is who you want on your project, they had great communication and took the time to explain the entire process patiently. Bryan, David and the crew were polite, quick, informative, and tidy in their work - top notch service with top notch product offerings!
David came out on a Friday night during rainy weather to inspect after a storm. He was honest and did not try to sell me anything as everything was in good shape. Very professional!
