AJ asked:


I am about to buy a house (havent signed yet). Its brand new but there are only gutters in the front. The other day after it rained i went by and noticed that water was puddling around the concrete slab the house sits on. especially on the sides where there are no gutters. Should I tell the builder I will not sign unless these are installed.

    Absolutely. Otherwise the siding on the house will be damaged and the ground around the foundation will be soaked and you could get water in your basement or under the foundation. This is a serious problem.
    Tell him you want the covered gutters. Otherwise you will have to get up on a ladder and clean them every year.
