Gutter cleaning

Never, never again, very disappointed in the service. came and offered a quote that I felt was on the high side to begin with, but went with them because they promised to make sure that the property would be left clean and all debris from job would be removed & would make sure eaves and downspouts were cleaned and secured .He got on the roof with something that looked like a leaf blower and blew the debris all over the yard and house, it left an awful mess, and he seemed to rush through the process, and just eager to collect their money and get out of here.When approached about the mess, the response was, "he cleaned up as best he could and it would look better after it dried"
In short we ended up having to clean the siding off and clean up the yard and lawns ourselves.
They also had the audacity to quote to do the garage roof for an additional $90.
Called the office and reported the dissatisfaction with this service, was very nonchalantly told this matter would be reported to owner and we would be contacted, at the time of writing this review, this has not happened.We will never, ever use this company again.

We are sorry that the technician did not clean up properly and that your request to have the manager call you got missed. The technician has since been fired as we really care about doing a good job.

eavestrough

I have used the Gutter Doctor in the past and they were wonderful. This time I phoned because of a plugged downspout. A different serviceman came this time and he looked at the downspout and said it's plugged and said he would return to replace it and then cleaned the eaves which I told him I did not want cleaned. I live in a duplex and debris was blown into my neighbours eaves and some of the debris even ended up on their roof. Her son had to clean their eaves and roof the following day. The debris that was left on my deck and patio was also not cleaned up. He never did return to repair the clogged downspout which was why I had phoned them in the first place, just sent me a bill. The downspout which he said couldn't be unclogged was cleaned by my neighbour's son just using his hands and a hose.

We understand your frustration, as it frustrates us too. It is unfortunate that the worker did not listen to you properly or clean up well. If you had called the office we would have quickly ensured that he go back and clean up properly and unplug that downspout.

Eavestrough cleaning / repairing

This summer we asked Gutter Dr. to check our gutters thoroughly to inform us if there were any problems with them and in the meantime, asked them to fix a few leaking corners and clean them if it was required. We were informed that no such repairs were needed for the corners we had spotted, instead they fixed some other spots which we do appreciate. However when he said he was done and got his cheque, I did double check with him if he went through all eavestroughs and gutters as he was expected to and he expressed my husband did not show him the other corner with the issues and he forgot to check one side of the house!!! While when at the first point, I called them to make an appointment, I had requested for a thorough investigation for any problems or issues. Anyhow, for some reason he rejected to fix it (the eavestrough was leaking and was kind of detached from the roof); he might have another appointment or so, and asked us to call their office to make another appointment.
The next day I called the lady to ask“1- a general question: if their guys are not supposed to check all the gutters/ eavestroughs when they come to the site (as customers expected)” and “2- simply to make another appointment with the same guy; and of course I was going to pay for that!!!”. Suddenly she raised her voice on me and said she would talk to the guy why he did not finish the job and would return my call!
Of course she didn’t and after a few hours I called her again to make another appointment with that guy to finish what he was supposed to do at the first point.
Again she raised her voice and said “You and your husband should have figured out what you wanted and…”!!! To me as a costumer who just called to make the clarification why the job was not done as it was promised to and to make another appointment, it was so insulting, rude, unprofessional and unethical! I interrupted her - as it was not acceptable to me to listen to her disrespectful tone- to ask “Mam, I have a question for you! Are your guys supposed to check all gutters or not!?” and again same unpleasant voice tone. In general very disappointing! Eventually she said she asked the guy to call us and talk to us!
Obviously the guy never called and of course even if he did, after that unprofessional attitude, we would have never continued our business with them. Couple of weeks later, we had a crew in our house to do some constructions and as the gutter above their head (the spot which had been inspected by Gutter Doctor’s guy and reported as ”a corner with no issue”) was leaking, they had difficulties to do the job. Anyhow thanks to the very professional crew who saw the problem- even before we mentioned it- , brought it up and repaired it as per our request.
I would not recommend Gutter Doctor at all to anyone and if any friends or neighbors ask me about them, would definitely hear negative feed backs from me.

What could this company do to improve their services?
Even if they are unable to provide an acceptable service to their costumers, the person who answers the phone calls should know, (s)he should treat costumers respectfully and professionally (under any circumstances).

Gutter Estimate & Cleaning

Last fall we asked Gutter Dr. to come look at our gutters as they were not draining, and we thought they needed to be re-sloped. We were informed that no such repairs were needed and only a cleaning was needed. Over the winter, water/ice leaked down into the soffits causing damage. When I called to speak to Lynn, she booked a follow up - Mind you it was March. I didn't hear anything. I called Lynn back who gave me my job number and encouraged me to call the Cell of the worker to inquire when the job was scheduled. I did this (left a voice mail) and have not hear back! Very poor service and follow up to problems that could have been avoided. Please do not use them!

Sorry to hear this. Sometimes calls do get forgotten, especially when its up to the tech to keep track of it. We have since updated our processes to ensure customers requests are not missed.

Great Services

Gutter Doctor asked me for a reference on this site so here it is. I run a home maintenance service business for a few upper end clients who own several houses each and I subcontract some of the work for stuff that is beyond my scope of expertize. I have relied on Gutter Doctor for about 4 years. They really know their stuff and give me time to pay the bill. I only really ever had one issue over the last 4 years and it was fixed up fine after a phone call. It was just a mix up with the tenant telling Gutter Doctor what to do who shouldn’t have been. I think I will always use Gutter Doctor because they are good reasonable people who do good work at a good price. No complaints.

Fixed the loose fascia

Dear GutterDoctor
We are pleased with your company's service! We had trouble trying to get someone to fix the loose fascia on our house at a reasonable cost. It was way up high solute wind blew it loose in the summer times storms and it has been banging against the house in the wind ever since! We got quotes for up to $550 from companies that we didn't really trust after meeting them but your company wasn't only prompt and professional but was also the cheapest adjust $250. Definitely referring you around town.
Thank you so much
