VERY, VERY bad customer service!!!! Contacted this company for gutter cleaning and siding repair. I had to call their office at least 3 times to inquire a service date and a agreed upon service fee. After approx. 20 days of not hearing back from the office, (rain accuses) I gave up and begun another search for a more reliable customer friendly company. One day "out of the blue" their (Uncle Skeeters) workers showed up unannounced at my residence. Because I still needed my gutters cleaned and I was home, I allowed them to perform the work. I called their office immediately to inquire about the gutter repair and I was promised that I would be getting a confirmation phone call by the end of the day. (did not hear from anyone again) Two days pass and once again, the workers appeared at my residence without any prior notifications. I was very disturbed by this. No one was home and my siding is still not repaired. That was the last straw for me!!!! I spoke to everyone their (Uncle Skeeters) who has authority and all I get is; "we apologize"!! To be clear, it's not the work but the office I had issues with. The workers that responded cleared my gutters, did a great job and was very friendly and professional. Sincerely, Dave Favors

Uncle Skeeters did a terrible job. The first crew did incomplete work. The second crew was very rude and refused to clean the gutters. They simply ran water in our downspouts and left without notifying us. The third crew did a lousy job and stole a rake from us. Uncle Skeeters finally offered a $30 discount but only if we gave them a credit card. This was a completely empty gesture given the hours of rude service and an incomplete job.

the leak still exists after the work was done. I contacted them and requested that someone check the area when it is raining. I was told that they had a test that would show them what was happening, but as of this writing, no follow-up contact has been made with me.

 Still waiting for a fix to the problem that still exists.

They were very mediocre. They seemed very disorganized. I've had to call them back before to finish the job. They're not crooks, they just don't do a good job. My gutters are difficult to clean; they are willing to walk on my roof, which is three stories tall.

I called and made an appointment.  They gave me a specific day, then two weeks after the appointed day they actually come and do the service.

It was great! They were here about 7:15 in the morning and they left at 2 o'clock and they did a wonderful job. The professionalism, service and clean up was excellent. Professionalism is part of the reason we went with with them. We interviewed four or five different companies and we thought that Uncle Skeeters Roofs & Gutters Inc was the most professional and the clean up job was very well done. Perhaps they are not the lowest priced but the professionalism and the efficiency in which they got the job done was very good and we thought we had a small problem afterwards and they came back right away and checked it out.

I have used this company for many years and now I am fed up. After I scheduled the last service with them for the middle of October 2013 they showed up on Oct 1st without calling to confirm. The reason I have repeatedly asked them to  let me know is because my water needs to be turned on so they can flush the drain. This time I was home and got the full treatment.  Many times I've come home with their bill on my door after they performed the job...half the job . Today I arrived home just in time to see the guys leaving my driveway after performing service AGAIN and leaving a bill for $101.00.  I called the company and explained that I paid the bill after getting service over 2 weeks ago and did not want  to pay again.  If they called me as they claimed I would have saved them the trip and me the anger over the workers ignoring me when asked  a question. The service rep on the phone was very professional and apologized and told me the "new" girl made the mistake and he saw that I received service and would take this bill out of the system.
I will not be using Uncle Skeeter's Roofs & Gutters of Waldorf, Md. 20604 anymore.

They came the first time when no one was at the house. It appeared that the gutters had been cleaned out, but the surfaces had not been cleaned of mildew which was part of the agreed upon work. We called to complain when  we saw that  two of  the gutters were  overflowing because the downspouts were still clogged. The crew came back with an old moldy broom and spent about 15 minutes essentially doing next to nothing and saying he had other work to do. We then emailed pictures to them and the response was basically we were unrealistic in our expectations and he was certain his employees did good work. We then had the painting crew cleanout the downspouts and wipe down the gutters to remove the mildew. The gutters now look and perform as they should. We then got a nasty email from them threatening to send his bill to a collection agency if we did not hurry up and pay his bill! We paid $175 for what work he did do (whatever that really was is hard to tell) because my wife just wanted to be done with the whole episode. I would not have these guys sweep the driveway, if I was there to watch!

I was not at home at the time of this service and as far as I can tell (without climbing up on the roof) the were cleaned.

Team arrived as scheduled and performed the work in a timely fashion. They disposed of the debris and did not damage any of my flower beds, gutters or house structure .

Only issue I had was I paid the bill online but received numerous phone calls from them reminding me to pay my bill. The messages remained professional but after I realized the situation was not going to resolve itself I had to call them back and explain that the bill had already been paid and I had a bank statement to prove it. The calls ceased.
I will schedule them again to perform gutter cleaning services after the fall.

We were skeptical at first, maybe just because of the company name, but we were pleasantly surprised!
Easy to talk with, very responsive, on time, reasonably priced and they do great work with a quality follow up. 
What more could you ask for?
We look forward to calling on Uncle Skeeters for their expertise with some future projects we have in mind.
Thanks to Roland, Ken and everyone else at Uncle Skeeters!
Very happy customers in Waldorf, MD.

They gave me a several day window when I called to request service and said they would call the night before they actually came, which they did.  They connected their hoses to our spigot, put their ladders up, cleaned out heavy debris by hand and then flushed the gutters with water.  When they were done, they took down the ladders, wrapped up their hoses and left an invoice at the door.

Three primary issues.
First, I only needed the front and back gutters cleaned. The pricing seems to be on a home square footage basis. The crews took approximately 20-30 minutes and left debris on the porch and ground.
Second, I specifically asked about the legal status of the crews. I was assured background checks were performed on the individuals. By any reasonable estimation, the individuals that arrived were illegal immigrants. This is not important to most, put really important to me.  Lying about the crews legality shows the overall lack of integrity of the company.
Third, even though $120 doesn't seem like a lot of money, the amount and quality work does not justify the cost. 
If you do work for someone, you at least clean up your mess.

They advertise that they have free estimates. When I was gone one day I came home to a bill for the gutters being cleaned out when all I asked for was a free estimate.

They handled the insurance process, all I had to to was sign over the check and schedule a date to have the work done.  They showed up on time and were done by the time I got home from work that afternoon.  They cleaned up after themselves and did not trample bushes/flowers/edging, etc.  Rep stopped by after work was completed to make sure I was satisfied.

They do roof repair and replacement, gutter cleaning and things like that.  We have used them to clean our gutters every year for about 5 years.  There's only one criticism I have with them.  When I had told them that I wanted it to be done next month because there are trees to fall, they said that they'll do it in 4 weeks and they were here 3 days later.  All I have learnt to do is to not make an appointment until it's ready to be done.  That's the only suggestion that I can make because they come early.  I would advice not to give them an appointment within 3 weeks from now as they'll be there next week.  What they are basically doing is whenever their guy is in the area, they'll do it.  I understand that they save gas and they don't need to make a special trip for this one guy.  The only problem happens to be that one will be stuck with clogged gutters later as the leaves have fallen and they have already made their visit.  This is the only issue.  Other than that, they are fine.  I have 2 storeys plus a basement home.  It's got 2 layers of roof and I spent $97.  I usually get a $5 coupon so it ends up being $92.  They are always very competent and always clean the gutters.  Their price is descent.  Their punctuality is okay because they do come early.  Their professionalism is fine.

I thought they had a great sales person. They stuck to their initial contract. They did piece work. They had a triple masking guy come out and do it. Originally they did not install it correctly, they did not install what we had contracted for. However, when I called the sales guy that I dealt with, he took care of it. It was taken care of in the next two days. I don’t know much about their quality of services but what they did for me I would give them an ‘A’. I would use their services again in the future.

I think that they did a good job. Noone else did covers and they stated they could so I went with them. I'm really not sure if they put the gutters back?on properly and they were really hard to understand because of the language barrier. I didn't have a chance to look at it to tell them what I thought about the job because they left so fast.

The work done was perfect. They were here when they said they would be here. They finished the work in an hour and half and it looks great. Their price was fair. I would surely use them in the future.

They did what they said they would do, they came when they said they would come, and they didn?t leave a mess. I think they did as good as they could do. The workmen don't speak English, only the people in the office do. The office is a little weird sometimes.

I called for an estimate; they asked a few questions and gave me a final price; they came out within 3 days; 2 guys worked on cleaning the gutters and were in and out within 15 minutes. I had a $5 off coupon and mailed them a check with the bill they left in the front door.

I had used this company before back when it was called Ned Stevens, and even though that was some time ago, my name/address was still in the database. I was given a price right over the phone and was told the job would be done in about 7-10 business days. Well last Saturday morning, a 2-3 man crew showed up at my house and went right to work. Cleaned/flushed out the gutters and did indeed collect the gunk and hauled it off. It certainly wasn't thrown on the ground!. The invoice included a 'next cleaning' due date which I could've scheduled on the spot, but I decided against that.
