Comment by Karen Ann Affel on July 22, 2009 at 3:35pm: Would anyone be so kind as too tell me of your experiences with "tinners paint" and standing seam roof repair and maitainance, also "Pole gutter" systems. I do understand what it is but am very concerned that the roofers who have bid on the repair/replacement are extremley high cost and all but one wants to rip them out and replace with 1/2 round gutters? anyone out there who has had a similaq experience BR Karen.
