I called another neighbor to get an idea who might be able to fix it. I got a name, called the guy. He came out within an hour and looked at the situation.
We need 6" gutters rather than the standard 5". He does 5", his neighbor does 6". So he called his neighbor, outlined the job, and got us a quote which we accepted on the spot.
The repair and replace was done perfectly within a couple days at a fair price, so I called my neighbor: "I got a gutter man if you want to write this down..."
I do favor Mercury things. If you can talk to people, you can work things out. This makes life a lot easier.
