Earlier this month I just had a home warranty guy come out to my Lantana and showed him the problem on the concrete pad and water getting into the lanai. He flat out told me I could go as high up in the TV chain I wanted to but the gutters are at your expense. He further told me that what costs the homeowner say $500 the builder would charge $1000-1500. The house was built according to the drawings. So I ended up putting gutters all along the back, the garage side of the house and in front of the garage..paid about $2 a foot. Some guys will charge you $2.25/foot and then hit you with an additional down spout charge of $20 each. My gutters work good but I still get rain water on the lanai from the blowing rain.
