I called Eric and the outgoing message said he was on vacation that week. I left a message for him to call me when they returned. Eric's son called first thing that morning that they returned and was out to the house 2 or 3 hours later. Our gutters were terribly clogged due to sweet gum balls, so he had to clean it by hand. He also re-attached a soffit that had been pulled down by squirrels, and plugged the hole above it with metal flashing secured by screws. Did a great job, and you can't see it from the ground. He also removed a bird's nest (no birds or eggs) that had been perched up on the down-spout just below the soffit with the hole in it. And of course he blew off the driveway, front porch and cleaned up all the mess and hauled it away. I was very pleased with the work performed and the price, and I'll be calling Eric again for another cleaning and probably installation of gutter guards (for which he quoted what seems like a very reasonable price).
Description of Work: Cleaned out gutters. Plugged hole that squirrels were using to enter attic. Removed bird's nest.

I called Eric Purdue to clean my gutters and he responded quickly, gave an estimate that was dead on and he was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. Eric suggested gutter guards but wasn't pushy about it at all. He and his son did a wonderful job.

Eric did an exceptional job in cleaning gutters and downspouts, even removing decking that covered one downspout which was completely clogged. Eric also provided valuable information regarding replacing only gutters that actually needed replacing. He could have easily taken the opportunity to replace all of the gutters, but instead took the time to show me which areas needed replacing, saving me a lot of money.

Exceptional. Polite, economical and professional!
Description of Work: Mr. Purdue told us he would be out of town but would have his son handle the gutter cleaning work we requested. A few days later his son contacted us, arrived while we were away, completed the job and left an invoice. They did a very thorough job and left no debris. In fact they were the most courteous and professional people we have ever used to clean our gutters. We intend to continue to use Mr. Purdue and his son for future projects.

Extremely pleased with Eric's work. We were considering other "gutter guard" options that were more expensive. Eric recommended lower costs screens that will work more effectively given slope of roof, etc. Additionally, he quickly identified and repaired several areas where water was overflowing the gutter. He provided a bid and then began work the next day. It was completed in one day. He completely cleaned up after his work and did a great job.

Though there was confusion as to my address (same street name but different neighborhood, clarify beforehand), he quickly looked the house over, presented options, discussed price impact of each option, and discussed willingness to come back (this was the estimate phase). However, I had him start right then and he was finished a few hours later. There was some minor debris left in the yard but nothing that would prevent my using/recommending his services.
Description of Work: Eric Purdue and his assistant cleaned my gutters and placed new screens on the gutters. The gutters hadn't been cleaned since the house was built (about 1.5 years). The house has dense tree-coverage so the gutters needed cleaning. He presented several options for the screens and recommended differing ones for various parts of the house (cheaper version on visible areas so they are not noticeable). In talking with other companies for estimates, his quote was reasonable, I felt.

Eric and his son came out the day after I called to inspect our gutters. I thought they would need to be replaced and had received quotes ranging from $1,300 to $5,000. Eric said my gutters were in good condition, cleaned them and then put screens on top and charged only $195.00. I was extremely pleased with his work and price and will definitely use him again for annual cleanings.

Mr. Purdue arrived when he said he would, and promptly went to work. The details of the work performed are described above. Mr. Purdue and his assistant performed the necessary work quickly but very thoroughly. As was my previous experience with him, Mr Purdue does a great job and goes "above and beyond" what you would expect him to do to clean up the area around the house before he leaves. Mr. Purdue and his assistant were very congenial, but got right to work.
Description of Work: A large dent was straightened in a gutter on my mother's house that was hit by a limb. The roof was cleaned off, gutter screens straightened and put back in place, and the gutters cleaned. Mr Purdue inspected the roof for damage by the limb, but there was none. Mr. Purdue also blew the leaves off of the 2 driveways and parking pad in back of her house.

In all the service was excellent. He and his son were very professional and completed the work very quickly. I appreciate that they didn't try to take advantage of me. I am a young single woman and this is my first home. He and his son explained what was done and why without talking down to me. I especially appreciated the fact that he took the initiative to just do the work while I was not there. It is often difficult to get work done around the house since I work during the day and far from my house. Excellent service and I will definitely use him again.
Description of Work: I called Eric to come out and look at my gutters. I was told they were falling off and needed to be replaced. I called him on a Monday and he called me back that night. After describing to him the situation and answering a few questions he said it didn't sound like I needed major work done. Since I work during the day he offered to just come by, fix the problem and leave a me a bill- if it was minor. He came by the next day and left a bill. Turns out I just needed my gutters cleaned and nailed to the studs. When he was repairing that work he noticed I had two rotted boots on the roof and suggested I get them replaced. That night I asked him to replace them and two days later his son did the work.

Despite some of the reports, Eric (and his son) were very responsive with follow-up calls and arranging a convenient time to come out to my house. Due to how full the gutters were, they had to clean the gutters by hand. They did an excellent job with the gutter cleaning, and with the cleanup afterwards. The yard was spotless, and they hauled off all the debris. They also cleaned off the entire driveway and front porch without having asked them to. They added a couple gutter spikes to re-hang the sagging gutters pulling away from the roof, and also repositioned the existing spikes to drive them into the studs rather than the fascia, as was originally done. They also cut back limbs hanging near or over the roof (after asking my permission first) and hauled that debris away too. Finally, they noticed one of the rubber boots around an attic vent had some dry-rot, and they re-sealed that one and the boots on the three other attic vents with sealant. They did way more than I asked.
Description of Work: I called Eric to clean my gutters and re-hang one gutter that was sagging. I recently purchased my home, and it appeared that the gutters had not been cleaned in five years. The gutters were completely full, and there was vegetation growing out of them with full root structures. The added weight was causing the gutters on one side of my home to sag and pull away from the roof.

Originally, I called Eric to look at gutter replacement or upgrading at my daughter's home in Norcross. She had dampness in the crawl space and was concerned about mold. Eric visited and suggested the gutters may be ok as-is. The recommendation was to first work around the foundation to divert water away from the house. His son, who apparently worked for Eric for some time, completed the work quickly and efficiently. We haven't had enough rain since the work was completed, but if that simple solution doesn't work, Eric will revisit and add additional downspouts. I was very impressed with his approach to the situation. Unlike most, he didn't move quickly to the highest-cost option, preferring instead to take an approach to do only what was necessary to correct the problem.
Description of Work: Packed dirt around foundation to force water away from the home.

They did their work quickly and professionally. They also did a good job of cleaning up afterwards. They also indicated to me that treating the garage ceiling stains with a stain repellent product (Kilz) would help in determining in the future (after multiple rain events) if all water leaks had been sealed.
Description of Work: Eric and his son cleaned out the gutters which had become totally clogged. They removed the old failed gutter guards and installed new ones. They installed plumbing vent boot covers and sealed roof holes that had been the source of water stains on the garage ceiling.

The first time I called Eric, he was so swamped he couldn't work me in. After rereading his positive reports, I tried again and am very happy that I did. He got to my job in about a week and made it around to all four properties. He is a nimble roof athlete with a great eye for spotting problems with which he dispenses quickly and intelligently. He gave me a full verbal report and I rehired him to install screens. In addition to cleaning the gutters and installing screens he pruned overhanging branches and patched squirrel holes. I gave him carte blanche to take care of the job and he did. It is a treat to relax and know a job will be done correctly and efficiently without much ado.
Description of Work: Gutters cleaned four properties. Screens reworked at one, totally replaced at another, and installed new at two others. Gutter spikes re-nailed. Various pest holes repaired. Branches trimmed.

I called to cancel the original time and we rescheduled for the next day. He did not come at the time he said he would. We called and left a message at his business number to see if he was coming. He called back to say that he was finishing lunch and would leave in about half an hour. An hour and a half later he still had not arrived and we called to cancel. Of course, he arrived just as we were ready to leave the house. He was apologetic and we had him clean the gutters and he said that he would call us and let us know if he saw anything else he thought needed to be addressed. We told him not to do anything but clean the gutters and that's all he did.
