The first issue was the scheduling. It seemed like too much to have to sign and fax a proposal for such a small job. Then, not only did it take several weeks, I had to keep emailing Michelle to get scheduled. When it rained on the first planned date, she did not communicate, so I had to keep emailing for an update. I was hoping they would be more proactive.
I was hoping for a day's advance notice, but the workers finally showed up a few hours after I was called.
I chose this company over another because for about the same price they offered to basic repairs (e.g., patching and leveling), but as some of the workers left, it became clear they didn't plan to do repairs such as patching an obvious hole. With some prompting, a worker did some repairs. He was kind and polite.
I did not climb the roof to inspect the whole job, but now I doubt all the repairs were all done as agreed in writing, twice.
In summary, my main objection was with the repairs.
One of the two workers worked, while the other stood around and smoked and threw his cigarettes all around the house. We found the long gutter nails from the old gutters thrown all throughout our front and back yard. I'm still finding problems with the install two months later. Tried to get them to come back out to fix what was wrong and they never did after saying someone was coming out (twice). Luckily Total Roofing (great company) came out and fixed some of Intrawest mistakes to the roof flashing for free!
The office receptionist left something to be desired. I called to see if they could do a few small changes and said that I understood that it might cost slightly more. When I called to schedule, I asked to schedule a month out because we were going to be out of town. I asked to schedule for Monday, August 5th. I cleared my calendar for that day. August 5th came along and I waited until 9:30 before I called to see why no one showed. The receptionist/scheduler wasn't in yet and I was told that I would have to wait a 1/2 hour until she came in to even know whether a crew was coming out. I was concerned that the crew had possibly tried to come out and had gone to the wrong address, since our house is frequently confused with another one that is a block away. The guy who answered the phone tried to help and read an address that was on the "board" which was 1 digit off from mine on the same street. I was told to call back. When I called back, I spoke to the receptionist and was told that I had been rescheduled for August 6th because they were finishing a job up from Friday. I found it unprofessional that I did not get any type of call on either Friday or Monday to let me know that the date had been changed. They could vastly improve their reception and scheduling by communicating changes to the customer.
Had they used a piece of cardboard behind the gutter when spraying, there would have been no problems. I had to go back and paint around and behind numerous gutters to cover the brown spray paint.
Over-all, very satisfied.
The job was scheduled for after the painters removed the gutters and painted the fascia boards. When the gutters were removed it was obvious that no paint or primer was applied to the fascia boards when the house was originally built.
The day after the painters finished painting the trim on our house, Intrawest was scheduled to come out and do the gutters and downspouts. Because of other jobs running long they weren't able to make it. Got a call from Michelle from their office advising me of this and giving a tentative reschedule date. The reschedule date came and went without any work or call from Intrawest. Michelle called the next day and apologized for not calling and said they would be out that day before noon.
The 3 man crew arrived a little after 11. The lead member of the crew assessed the pile of removed gutter and told me that they would be reusing the downspouts (painted the old, very contrasting trim color). I told him that the insurance adjuster estimate stated that gutters and downspouts were to be removed and replaced. He showed me his work order which showed only one of the four downspouts being replaced. After he called the office he told me he would put up the three old downspouts that day because of approaching weather and they could be easily replaced later. To resolve the color problem the painter came out the next day and painted the three mismatched downspouts the new trim color.
Overall I am satisfied with the work that was done but a little dismayed that putting up three contrasting downspouts was considered acceptable by Intrawest. I would have possibly paid for three new ones in the color of the gutter had the option been offered.
It was all easy and well done.
We selected Intrawest Seamless. They were not the least expensive, but they provided the best overall package and great flexibility of installation in coordination with the stucco and painting contractors.
Intrawest did our job in three phases in order to make the stucco and painting jobs work smoothly. The first phase was the removal of the old system. This allowed the painters to access the fascia boards behind the gutters. This made the painters job much easier and gave us a better overall paint job.
The second phase was the installation of the gutter system. By the time this was done the paint on the fascia had completely dried. The cold weather made the drying slower.
Once the second coat of stucco was applied (the color coat), Intrawest installed the downspouts to complete the third and last phase.
We have since received many compliments on the new appearance of the house and how well the drainage systems Copper color goes with the stucco and paint.
We highly recommend Intrawest and will use them again, but it will be awhile. The 5-40-20 warranty will last us for some time.
UPDATE: On June 18,2013, I contacted Intrawest and talked to Michelle. I asked that they come to my home to check some leaks that had shown up during recent rains. She said she would get with the crew to set a date and then call me back. On June26, 2013, after having received no call back, I called again. Michelle said she was going to call me that afternoon and that the crew would come by the next day (6/27/2013). They failed to come by on the 27th. My wife called them on the 27th and was told that they would reschedule. On July 3, 2013 a message told us that they would come by between 0830 and 0930 on July 5th. No one showed up at the appointed on the 5th. When my wife called Intrawest, she was told that they were finishing a job and would be by sometime later that day. They never showed and have never called to reschedule.
Based on this experience, I have had to revise my initial evaluation downward. Due to Intrawest lack of professionalism, poor responsiveness, and complete lack of punctuality, I withdraw my recommendation of their services. I would not do business with them again and would not recommend them to friends and family.
