I wouldn’t think improper installation should necessarily result in a recommendation of “repair”. “Repair” means it’s broken. Judging from the picture, the gutter isn’t broken, it’s just installed improperly. I assume it functions.
I would have simply informed the client of the situation and left it at that.

Sorry I think repair is correct .
If work has been done incorrectly then it should be fixed .
How about incorrectly installed stairs ( repair or replace Immediately )
When they go to sell the home and I pick up the defect now it becomes some thing the home owner has to fix when it should have been done by the builder .
Also it could be a place where water just might enter especially if it is Eifs.
I could care less if they fix it or not just as long as I have stated that it should be fixed.
Why did it happen, the gutters where installed before the Stucco guy got there .
They should not have put in the gutters so soon .
If they make both the trades fix the problem then they just might help one another next time .

If it’s a path for water behind the stucco/EIFS, then I agree – “repair” is the proper term. I didn’t think about that aspect of it when I posted my 1st reply.

Roy,
Thanks for the back up. I agree this condition is a serious problem. In Cal I see this frequently and make the same recommendation…

I agree with Roy's explanation, 100%.
It is obvious that if this is a new home , the Contractor had the cart in front of the horse, and it should be rectified immediately as to not have water and moisture intrusion behind the Stucco or EIFS, if that is what it is.
Repairs are needed, that simple.
Next time the builder will coordinate the work a little better. Obviously, he is still on a learning stage but in business to build.

looks to me as if the stucco was applied after the gutters. what happens next fall when the gutters clog, (it’s new so HO isn’t worried), and water fills the gutter and gets up under the stucko. not good.
