I'm about to get the roof replaced on my 1894 Victorian. Due to the crown moulding on all the fascia, the gutters are actually placed into the shingles about three rows up. The roof including these gutters was replaced in 1996 by previous owners. I'm having trouble locating new gutters like this. What is the name of this type of gutter and who supplies them?
Susan replied to LeRoy Williams's discussion in-roof gutters"One more comment. I forgot to state that my gutters were built on site. They are not the type of gutters you can buy already made. All the copper is bent on a tool called a break and fitted behind the crown moulding."
Susan replied to LeRoy Williams's discussion in-roof gutters"LeRoy, I added five more pictures for you to see. Is this the same type of gutter you have on your house? If you need specific information about my gutters, roof, pricing, etc. you can send me an email at victoriangemeiner1903@yahoo.com."
Susan replied to LeRoy Williams's discussion in-roof gutters"LeRoy, you can contact The Durable Slate Company, Columbus, Ohio, at 1-800-666-7445 and ask for Mark Sherby. They work nationwide, provide estimates, and they did an excellent job replace/rebuilding my gutters, lined them in copper, and installed…"

Craig Talley replied to LeRoy Williams's discussion Roof transition questions"Your proposed detail is fine, I would still cut that into a full size roof to wall flashing and continue that along to the adjacent wall and then cover with full ice and water shield from Grace or Tamko the full size of the overhang (36").
