Brothers Sheetmetal

I actually enjoyed paying for these rain gutters. I had 4 different companies give bids to install the rain gutters. I immediately liked Ralph from Brothers Sheet Metal because he very clearly explained every step of the process, what kind of materials they used, including the hardware, and where and how they secured the gutters using the hardware. There were no sales pitches. I felt Ralph respected my intelligence and was proud of his company, which was successful because they enjoyed their work and, being a sheet metal company, specialized in what they did. I watched a video Ralph posted on YouTube which gave examples of the many and varied homes and buildings, some of them as regal as palaces, where they had installed their rain gutters. And did I mention their price was $400 less than the other companies? Ralph was punctual every step of the way, from the first meeting, to the 3 men arriving at 8:00, on the minute. The installers worked quickly and were finished before the anticipated time. They were relaxed and mentioned they had worked for the company for many years. In fact, two of them were also brothers. The only difficulty was that I kept changing my mind. First I wanted no gutters on the garage. Then I wanted them on one side only. Then both sides. Then changed again and decided I didn't want them on the garage after all. Each time Ralph was warm, cheerful and friendly, and said, 'no problem', as though he really meant it. I will never use them again only because the gutters are guaranteed for life. Can't beat that!

Every rain caused a waterfall along the outside wall of our attached garage. The gutters we had in place were not handling the water flow and several rain gutter contractors suggested moving and replacing the gutters. Ralph from Brother's Sheet Metal assessed the problem and told me that I did not need new gutters, that the placement of a diverter would do the job. After checking all of my rain gutters, he told me that I was fortunate to have galvanized steel gutters and that I should not replace any of them, but simply do some serious maintenance and repair. Of course this was more cost efficient for me. Ralph has been in the business a long time and his honest, down to earth demeanor was very reassuring. Dealing with Ralph was a pleasure. He was prompt, courteous, and knowledgeable. His crew was efficient and courteous as well. The head man of his crew patiently answered all of my questions. I would hire Brother's Sheet Metal again.

The Brother's Sheet Metal crew arrived on time! They began measuring and custom fitting the gutters to our home. 3 hours later, we had brand new gutters surrounding our home. I'd recommend this company to anyone.

They did a great job. Gave the most competitive quote, showed up on time, and the installation was flawless. When I wanted an extra extension, they had no problem providing it. I would highly recommend them.

The whole process was smooth. It was a pretty big job and took about a day and a half to complete . Ralph and crew were polite, worked well with the other trades on the site and cleaned up after themselves. The bid was also competitive to others I had received.

I just bought a house. Its crawlspace got flooded after a heavy rain due of lack of gutter. Mr Ralph's reviews are excellent, so I called him. He came onsite on the same day, nice and knowledgable, and gave me a quote. In the following week, I asked for 2 more back-to-back quotes. It turned out Mr Ralph's quote is pretty reasonable. During this process, he contacted me for updates positively and answered my questions patiently. Later we settled down the date and his workers arrived on time. Those guys are polite and professional. They worked a whole day and did a nice job. I'm satisfied till now and wait to see if the new gutters work in the next rain season.

We got 3 estimates. Although Ralph's estimate was not the lowest, he was the only one of the 3 who came up with a solution to our problem. Our house was built between two hills and water would collect on the northeast side of the house and seep into the foundation. He suggested taking the water down on the northeast side and moving it under the house and out the other side so it ran down the hill instead of collecting and causing problems. Also, even though he did not receive our down payment in time (for some reason the U.S. post office delivered it about 2 weeks after the job was completed, he went ahead and scheduled the job and accepted a replacement check that day and then we mailed the final payment once the job was done. Very professional yet understanding that we were not trying to get out of paying him as agreed. We would definitely use him again.

I got two other estimates from Angie's List contractors for the same work. The real selling point aside from the professional and enthusiatic estimate provided by Ralph Flores, was the company provides a lifetime warranty that cover materials and craftmanship. The price was mid-way between the other two estimates I received. Ralph's written estimate that clearly detailed the work to be performaed including the lifetime warranty. The work was done very professionally and with little interference to our life. We actually had a good deal of rain in April and the gutters worked perfectlly. They look great too. No doubt I would hire this company again.e

The owner- Ralph is an unusually trustworthy, knowledgeable professional. His lucid, straight forward presentation on his various gutter hardware products and installation details is as convincing as it is inviting. My wife dislikes the conspicuous round-cornered aluminum downsprout with multiple vertical creases. Unlike all other competitors, Ralph, who owns the Brother Sheet Metal Works, was able to offer an unique customer-made alternative - an inconspicuous yet much stronger bondorized steel squarish downsprout that blends so well with the vertical wall, it almost ?disappeared? into the background. Also, Ralph's seamless aluminum gutters offers two extra ?beads? on both edges that strengthen the structure of the gutter. He also uses 3' long galvanized hex screws and strong hidden hangers for installation to reinforce the durability and stability of the gutter especially for long stretches. Even more importantly, Ralph's use of a rarely used method to construct rectangular (90°) bents (instead of using per-farbricated ?sleeves?) is even more appealing both for economy and good looks of the finished gutter system. Of more than a dozen contractors with whom we have dealt with recently in a few different jobs, Ralph distinctly stands out for his professionalism, attitude and personality for he is a very pleasant yet solid and sincere individual. Ralph's personal quality and professionalism are well reflected, too, in his three-man crew headed by Jairo. They are punctual, friendly and super efficient yet respectful and patient in responding to customer's questions and volunteered to do a little extra paint mending on the downspouts. The crew's skill, meticulousness and attention to details are commendable. In fact, Ralph is so confident of their work, he offers a lifetime warranty covering the materials and craftsmanship for the life of the home. The work was completed beautifully beyond the expectation of the customers in a day without any bother to us. Working with Ralph and his crew has been our pleasure and we prize it as a rare good fortune. We do hereby recommend Ralph and Brother Sheet Metal exceptionally highly to each and everyone seeking gutter replacement/repair work.

New 5? gutters were installed on the three sections for the existing house. In the end, the new 5? gutters needed to be removed and replaced with 6? gutters, in to properly catch the runoff rain water.

The rain gutters are beautiful! They look great and match my home. They worked hard to make sure I was pleased with all aspects of the job.

Ralph Flores is an excellent person who knows his trade well. He came out to look at my headache of a problem with gutters on the house we just purchased and even though the previous owner had to install a new roof for the purchase to go through, they replaced the old gutters, that were undersized and sectioned instead of seamless, back on the roof. The old gutters leaked and even overflowed in one section (like Niagra Falls) due to the the fact they were installed in a reverse slope of to the downspout and not enough downspouts. The overflow was pouring onto the back deck and splashing on the rear wooden door that was being destroyed for years by the problem. As I am mechanically inclined and nit-picky, I asked Ralph many things and even questioned his remedy of installing standard seamless 5" gutters (a step up from the current ones) at the proper angle, which the roof slope made difficult due to the sagging of that area, and just adding 2 more downspouts. I didn't think that would be enough to fix the problem considering the volume of water that would overflow when it rained hard. He assured me that his remedy would do the trick and went with his decision. Ralph and his crew arrived right on time and were very friendly. Ralph explained the situation to his team and the foreman was always showing me how they calculated and fabricated their art when I asked. All the corners were custom cut and riveted so there were no fitted joints. (one less area to leak). They completed very skilled work and made everything look so much better. Everything was cleaned up and hauled away. I was still skeptical about the remedy and couldn't wait for it to rain again to see how it would do. A few days later at 2:00am, sure enough it did, so I got my flashlight and checked every square inch of the gutters. Like Ralph said, it all worked great!

My wife left a messague for Brothers Sheet Metal on a Wednesday afternoon to set-up an appointment for an estimate to replace and install rain gutters for our home. Sofia returned the call two times and left messages on Thursday. I called Brothers on Friday and left a message. Ralph promptly returned my call and was at the house to give an estimate for the work that afternoon. Ralph is a super nice guy and his expertise and knowledge about rain gutter installation is top notch. He has been doing this for 22 years. Ralph gave me a quote on the spot and it was very reasonable. My wife and I made the decision to go with Brothers on Saturday and the installation was complete by Tuesday afternoon. Ralph and his crew were prompt, efficient, quiet and clean. Other than the newly installed rain gutters, you'd never know they were on the property. Ralph took the time to walk around the house and explain where the downspouts would go and accommodated every request. The installation looks great. I guess we'll know how it works if and when we ever get some rain. I highly recommend Brothers Sheet Metal for rain gutters. Thanks.

I called, they made the appointment, they ended up calling back to figure out what would be best. Ralph Flores came out and talked to me was really a nice fellow, and was very punctual. When Ralph showed up, I had a few other workers over, and I was very busy. He said not to worry, when I finally got to him, he had already taken all the measurements, and had my bid written up and ready to go.

Very pleased with their work and their people.

They did a very good job. They were very clean and on time. They came when they were supposed to. The guy, I think one of the owners, Ralph, was very personable and very courteous. We priced a number of gutters with different companies and we had a horrible time trying to get people to respond. They'd come out and vet it but then they'd never call you back. I did have to wait for Brothers Sheet Metal when they were out here to do the bid and then wait for them to schedule, but when they came back to do everything they got everything done pretty quickly. They finished in the time frame they set and were very neat in cleaning up.

The date of the estimate was miscommunicated and Ralph called to apologize for the confusion.

I received a prompt return call from Ralph Flores when I requested an estimate. Brother's Sheet Metal was in the middle of the three estimates that I obtained for the work. I was very impressed with Ralph's assessment of the job. He actually identified issues that a higher bidder did not find. I scheduled the work immediately and although a rain day interfered with my original scheduled day, Ralph kept close contact with me and re-scheduled the work for two days later. The crew was very professional, kept the sites clean and did not damage any plants which was a challenge. They finished the job in under a day. One rain later, I was thrilled to see that all the new gutters worked perfectly. I would highly recommend Brother's Sheet Metal.

Called on a Fri afternoon for an estimate, left a voice message. Sophia called back about two hours later. She told me Ralph would get back to me Mon or Tues. He never did. I ended up using a different company.

I hired Ralph and his team to install copper gutters and downspouts on my home over two other firms. The reasons underlying my decision were simple: Brother's Sheet Metal was by far the most knowledgeable about the job, was able to produce seamless copper gutters onsite using its sheet metal expertise and mobile equipment, and was very price competitive. Ralph was very responsive and delivered exactly what we agreed on. I have no hesitation strongly recommending Brother's Sheet Metal.

The entire process was very professional. Ralph came over to take measurements and give an estimate. We talked about certain aspects that he thought might cause some issues and suggested larger downspouts in certain areas to better handle the water flow. The estimate was on the higher side of two other quotes but the quality and the lifetime warranty on both the product and the work to fix any future problems had me choosing in their favor. My only minor complaint was that they gave no discount for us having taken down the old gutters for them (we had to repair numerous fascia boards that had rotted under the old gutters) - but Ralph explained that it would have been only a minor part of the time his crew needed to be there. We had rain a few days before our scheduled installation date, so they called and asked to move our date a few days out so they could catch up on the installs they had missed -- seemed reasonable and caused us no real problem, so we were fine. They came on the second scheduled date and did the install quickly and efficiently. The new gutters look far better than the gutters we replaced (which cost 1/2 the price but may have proved "you get what you pay for") and we've had numerous rains since then and the gutters have performed perfectly - no drips or leaks or overflows. I would highly recommend using Brothers.

When I first called, I reached a real person. The estimate appointment was within a couple days. The rep (Ralph?) was thorough and professional and very pleasant. My old gutters had a bend over the front porch that always leaked during the smallest rainfall and then for days afterward, making it difficult to get in and out the front door. The downspouts were misplaced so that water built up around the foundation and seeped into the garage. It has rained several times since they were installed and there is not ONE DROP near my front porch! YEAH! I even bought a fancy rug for Christmas that covers my whole front step and it stayed dry. I am so very happy with my new gutters!!! I felt I got very personal attention from the start and that the price of $1,200 was less than I expected. I could not be happier.

It is a fairly simple story. There was a little confusion on the arrival of Brothers to remove the old gutters and receive my down-payment. But this was not of any consequence- and subsequently all work went on schedule and was done with complete professionalism.

The work was done on schedule and very efficiently. The entire process from meeting with the estimator to the final work went very smoothly. They matched the color of the gutters to my house trim perfectly. It looks and works great.

I never thought I could love rain gutters, but I do now! I got an estimate from Ralph and after interviewing 3 companies went with Brothers Sheet Metal. The crew arrived on time, Ralph walked me through the plan, reviewing all the down spout placement in detail. I had particular concerns due to the long overhang on our home and Ralph assured me that these downspouts would hug the eaves and remain as unobtrusive as possible. He wasn't kidding! I chose the rectangular, bonderized steel downspouts and they are not only beautiful, but very clean and tight to the eaves. The whole idea is to paint them, but I almost don't want to! The team was responsive and professional, I cannot say enough good things about them.
