"Jacob provided the estimate and personally inspected the completed project. The project involved a lot of variety – primarily adding new guttering where none existed and removing/replacing existing undersized gutters. This included had some one-story, and a lot of two-story gutters. It also involved adapting downspouts to an underground drain as well as routing downspouts to avoid dropping second-story water on to a first-story roof. Even with the complexity of the task, the Northwest’s price was quite reasonable based on other estimates. The install crew was courteous, quick, and thorough. The completed project looks great. I can recommend Northwest Gutter & Construction without hesitation."
