I usually clean the gutters and downspouts myself. However, this past summer I tore a rotator cuff, had the surgery in the fall and would not be able to climb a ladder.
As the days started getting colder and colder, I kept calling to get them there before the gutters and downspouts became frozen solid. They kept reassuring me that they would get there in plenty of time before a freeze.
They showed up in mid-January, it was about 10 degrees out, and the gutters and downspouts were frozen solid.
They proceeded to use hammers and chisels on my copper gutters! They removed the copper downspout runoffs on the ground, apparently to gain access to the downspouts to clean them out from the ground up. They shoved a metal rod up the downspout, stating that if their 1/4" rod could pass through any blockage in the downspout, then it was considered clear and clean (what?).
They did not put back the elbows and downspout runoffs after "clearing" the downspouts. I was sent an invoice, stating that they had finished the job, when in fact, they had not even worked on the 40' gutter on the front of the house, nor had they cleaned the downspouts and hadn't reinstalled the elbows and runoffs.
I called and spoke with Ron Potter's wife & office manager and told her that not even half of the job had been completed. She said that she would have to confirm that with the crew and get back to me. Several days later she called back to tell me that her men couldn't finish the job because it was too cold and that they would come back on a warmer day.
There was a message on my answering machine in March stating that the crew had returned that day and finished the job. It was also a day that never got above 15 degrees, and the downspout runoffs were not reinstalled.
Totally unprofessional and dishonest.
