Thanks for that tip Bob. i checked and it does seem my gutter guy leveled them off more so than slope them. There are several sections which had standing water if that says anything. So now the question is, who do I get to fix this right before the harsh winter? Siding company or a good handyman? Its beyond me at this point in my DIY life.
