Almost 2 years ago we had a new 2nd floor done and I wasn't too educated on the little things such as gutters and roofing. We have a "30-year shingle" but the way they finished the gutters, it leads the water sliding down the roof until it reaches the 1st floor set of gutters. Is this really bad for the longevity of the roof in that area? I see other houses and they use an extension that goes directly into the 1st floor gutter. It's not the cleanest look (and maybe that's what our contractor was going for), but maybe it makes the most sense. NY has about avg amount of rainfall a year. Should I be extending it?
