This is a picture of what we do on a daily basis.
The pre-painted aluminum coil is inserted into a forming machine on one
of our trucks and the switch is turned on. The flat coil is fed in the
front and extruded out the back into its new shape of 5 inch OG
Raingutter........... in almost any length we
desire. (The world record for one
continuous raingutter section is approximately 1400 feet long.)
A crew of 4 can easily put up a single piece of raingutter 90
feet long. Anything longer becomes difficult to handle because we are
usually working on streets that are only 50 feet wide. Simply
stated, its hard to turn a piece of gutter around for installation when
there is not enough room. (A normal
residential home has up to 50 or 60 foot lengths).....
Notice the very healthy
cactus....
We replaced this old section of galvanized raingutter with new
aluminum. The cactus (succulent) had grown 2 feet high and its root
system had grown 5 feet up & under the roof tiles. The downspout
also became part of the plant. Its safe to say that this drainage system
had been inoperable for many years. Note: If you clean your gutters they
will work.
Here is a beautiful new home in Palos Verde's California where
Chandler's Raingutters did a beautiful raingutter installation for a
very fair price. Unfortunately the builders STILL
owe us money! Its seems that because we are small sub-contractors who
can't afford the time or expense to sue, "Terrafirma
Construction" decided to ignore us. This is rare as most
contractors (and consumers) are very honest.
The Boss (
Bob Villa clone?)

Airborne right, Job Foreman Charles retreats from work area (roof)
without use of proper tools (ladder) to
save time and money for the boss (?) ....or... just showing off for
the camera
NOTE: After 55 years, Chandler's
Raingutters on the job injuries = 0
Charlie are you listening?
