Contact 6 helps consumers save in September
A Menomonee Falls woman said Contact 6 saved her $7,500. It's among the $41,807.64 that viewers said the segment helped them save in September.
MILWAUKEE - Renee Gorton said her front steps became a slipping hazard last winter thanks to her newly installed gutters.
"Up here is where all the water leaked," said Gorton, pointing to a gutter above her front door. "There was an ice dam built up, and we had tons of salt on it."
The Menomonee Falls woman has two artificial hips and her husband has an artificial knee. She was concerned about falling and needing more surgeries. Gorton said the company returned to her house several times to inspect its own work.

"All of a sudden, I got a phone call from them saying it was open again," said Gorton.

"More or less, it’s who you know," said Gorton.
