Repairs and updates: New Gutter Shutters on the Poolhouse

Posted By on September 10, 2025

Crews working on new poolhouse gutters

In September 2025 we finally decided to update the gutter on the detached garage (we call it the poolhouse) to match our house from 2019. Unfortunately it was a semi-forced issue as there was some poor workmanship on one of the downspouts on the house that needed repaired. We thought our Gutter Shutters had a lifetime warranty against defects and workmanship … BUT the franchise in Cincinnati went out of business and the company that handles the accounts (and uses their same phone number) would not honor the warranty (and wanted $399 to come out and look at the problem — shady business practice).

After some back and forth with the corporate franchiser and franchisee, we came to an agreement to add the matching gutters to our poolhouse, repair the defective downspout and loose soffit and extend the previous Gutter Shutters warranty to the new company called Gutter Solutions Tri-State.

It still didn’t make me happy, but what is done is done and we now have new gutters on the poolhouse. Is our poolhouse roof next to go???
