Later that week, it rained. To my dismay, the gutters were leaking on the majority of the corners and seams. There was a section of gutter that was too short and didn't catch the water at all and rain was just pouring down on the side of the house! How do you install it and not see that it is too short???
It was a REAL HASSLE to get someone to come out and inspect the problem. The owner personally came out and gave me a nice song and dance about how he'd take care of everything and make sure it was done right. (Shouldn't it have been done right the FIRST TIME???)
Someone else FINALLY came out around late July, more than a month of water randomly leaking all over my property. This person worked and said he would reseal all the seams. He STILL could not fix the gutter that was short on one side of the house and had to come back out a later date.
After all that was done, I now STILL HAVE areas that leak. These are the same areas that leaked and I complained about those last time they were out!
I have been texting, phoning the owner and the office regarding getting refunded a portion of my payment because they charged me for labor and materials that were never installed.
The owner has put me on his low priority list, except he has collected all my money since JUNE! It is now the end of August and the gutter job, which has needed FOUR attempts to fix, is still leaking.
UPDATED 9/17/2013
I have been able to finally get ahold of the company to repair the final two leaky spots. It has not rained since the repair so I haven't had a chance to reinspect the work.
I was told that one of the spots is not gutter related and that it's roof related. This seems really odd to me as I don't recall the area leaking BEFORE the new gutters were put on.
The company finally refunded me for materials that were paid for that they did not need to install.
Overall, I am have been less than impressed with this company. If I could do it all again, I'd have gone with another quote that I had gotten. Hindsight is 20/20. I'm left with the sinking feeling that if I ever needed warranty work, would I be "left out in the rain?"

Gutter Doctor Plus started installing downspouts the wrong color. No gutters were on the work truck at all and any gutter install would require a future separate trip. Jim Jackson, the owner, was called. I spoke with him on the phone and he refused to correct the situation. He left me with an unsightly situation. He refused to correct it in a timely fashion. The "Boss," Jim Jackson, by phone, said he had no white down spouts in stock to get the job done, none on the truck or in his shop.
Jim Jackson refused my offer to provide matching color white down spouts for his crew so the correct downspouts could be installed.
The truck left with my old white down spouts segments without my permission. The new wrong color down spout segments the Gutter Doctor Plus attached are marred and the end sections have sharp dangerous edges and are uneven. Despite my protests that the work needs to be completed properly, the truck left the day of the installation. Work was not completed. Sharp shreds of cut downspout material were left in the lawn.
The next week, Jim Jackson called. His excuses for the failure of his crew to install the right color downspouts were not credible. His workers are not color blind. The install crew saw that the segments of downspouts they were attaching were not a matching color to the rest of the downspouts, yet they were installed anyway. I told Jim Jackson that his behavior and that of his crew last week proved to me that he was not worthy of my trust to do the job properly. I am requesting a refund through Angies List since I paid for the service through Angies list. I told him that I did not want him or his crew at my house ever again.
A few minutes later, I got another call from him that he had gone to my house to "drop off a refund check," --even right after I had just requested that he refund the payment for service through Angies List. I had prepaid through Angies List and and I had just told him that I did not trust him at my home ever again. Yet Jim Jackson said he went to my house (without notice or approval) when I was not home! My husband and I raced to our house getting there in less than 5 minutes after Jim Jackson's last call. No check was found. I called Jim Jackson of the Gutter Doctor Plus and he did not answer my call so I left a voice message that I was expecting a refund through Angies List as requested.
"Angie's List called 5/7/2013 to confirm refund and permission was granted right away. Unfortunately, our crew left that morning with a slight off white color of downspouts by accident at time of job it was realized right away. Although (deleted member name) offered to get her own material, due to the warranty issued by our company, it must be company materials. We apologized and had to reschedule for next business day once we had correct material. Job specs changed from time of estimate to crew arriving to complete job. The other work that was to be performed with the gray downspouts is not the work she wanted done upon my crew arriving. It would of been impossible to have all the material with crew at that point of job changes. Estimator would have to come back up, rewrite up contract and crew would of had to return a different day due to job changes that drastic. Crew tried to do as much as they with the material they had at the time of job to satisfy customer as much as possible at point of event. REFUND situation was misunderstood by Jim. He thought he was to refund her money instead of Angies List. REFUND WAS ISSUED BY ANGIES LIST and (deleted member name) was not willing to let us return to finish job properly."
Note (This is about how the deal was structured and not about any of the work itself):
In order to get the Angie's List Deal, this was the specified contractor. I had already paid for the deal discount and had to accept the estimate to have the work done. The price seemed reasonable, but I have no basis for comparison.
I would NOT hesitate to recommend this company to family or friends....& I am elated that I will NEVER have to climb a two-story extention ladder again to clean the gutters....
Best part is I received a written, transferable, Lifetime No-Clog Warrenty without limitations, this company has a proven track record of stability & best of all - customer satisfaction!!
I am truely a satisfied customer.....plus improvement also adds to the resale value of my home.
