I called several times for a proposal. Finally they sent someone to look at the property to do a proposal. He was very nice. He told me no problem this is a job they would like to do so I was looking forward to hearing from them. This is a four (4) three-story building complex and the gutters are in need of replacement. After a month of waiting, I didn't get a proposal. I called them back and they said they lost the paperwork because someone quit working for them. I was told that they would send someone else out to meet me. I had to beg for their service and I think the lady said yes, just to get me off the phone. I ask why they do a lot of advertising and don't give proposals. This is a sizable job for them and I need a proposal. The estimator person never showed up. So, I called back and was told they had to reschedule the job but would call me later. They never called me back. This may be a small project because it is valued at about $30,000 but they will never get it because they are so unprofessional They are full of excuses and do a lot of advertising. They are wasting their money. I heard later that they are very selective in who they work for and snub everyone else. I was never rude to them and always nice even having to beg them for a proposal. I tried to find their office to go talk to the owner but was told they don't allow people to come to their office. I would never do business with this company. Let them waste money on TV advertising. I didn't report anything on price because they never gave me a price. I joined Angie's list to find a new contractor and see they are listed here. Don't use them is my advice.
Description of Work: Absolutely nothing! And that is the problem. I inquired about gutters for four (4) buildings

Tropical Roof and Raingutters are very professional, do good work, are prompt and fast, and are excellent about fixing problems such as joints that need resoldering. They did what they said they would do and did it in a timely manner, including coming back months later to finish part of the job that had to be delayed until another structure was out of the way. The crews are very nice, professional, and personable, and they do a great job of cleanup each day.

Called for a service quote on my covered basketball courts roof on 3/19/2013. Someone said they would come out to place the quote on Thursday 3/21/2013 at around 1:00pm. From my best memory, I believe he came on time. Gave him a spill on the roof and condition and what I wanted done. He said he'll do his thing and I should receive my quote in a couple days. Not sure what he did or how he quoted my job but he did what he needed to do and left. Several days later after non receipt of my quote, I called to check the status on it. Girl who answered said she will have Dwayne he estimator give me a call and send me my quote. No call was returned. Called back 2 days later and same answer, same result. After bombarding their phone lines in the days to come I finally get a call requesting for an email address and or fax number I would want my quote to go to. Provided it and said they would send it out right away. Never got it. Finally, my executive director called their company to speak to an upper management to get what we needed done while on the phone with them. He said, he will fax it out as soon as he could get his hands on my quote. The next morning on 4/3/2013 I get a fax from this company with my requested quote. I was satisfied that the first part was finally done. Took a look at the quote and it was over priced and not even a worth looking at. prior to this quote, I received another quote from another company with the price set firm at $11,570.00 and a map to show me what they plan on doing which was everything I requested. Immediately I jumped on this company but we were outraged at how overly price this company has charged us. That's a $28,000 difference... Will not recommend this company to anyone in the future...
Description of Work: Literally just provided a quote...

a) the price(s) the sales consultant provided for the roofing and solar fans were pre-tax but not noted on the quote tax was added when I was invoiced through e-mail - after much discussion, the original pre-tax quote was honored b) roofers chucked shingle pieces and lining material, along with roofing tacks with bright orange "washers" over the edges of the roof - tacks were in the rain gutters, all over the ground, shingle chunks as well, + lining material strewn about c) roofers were very quick in installing, save the littering, I would have rated overall professionalism "C" instead of "D"
Description of Work: 20-year old original shingles with lining were removed, new lining and a new asphalt-type shingle material with a high reflectivity rating was installed, along with 2 solar attic fans that vent hot air from the "attic" area

What actually happened was 2 guys showed up with a ladder and cleaned out the gutters by hand in less than 2 hours. No special scaffolding, no taking apart and reassembling the downspouts. I was surprised and I called and asked to speak to the owner as I assumed that the sales guy had made a mistake. . The owner told me that they bid high when they don't really want to do a job, and that if we were stupid enough to take the high bid that was our problem. He said that normally they would have charged about 500-600 for a job our size. I said his salesperson had told us of all this extra work that would need to be done, which didn't have to get done, and was basically lying to us about the scope of the project. The owner's attitude was "too bad you're so stupid". Finally, he said he would reduce the amount from 1931. 78 to 1200. This was still at least double what we should have been charged (according to his own admission). I can't believe that people this dishonest stay in business. At least they cleaned the gutters - but they were quite happy to charge us double the price! Even $600 is expensive when you think about it... 2 guys with ladders for 2 hours? Come on.
Description of Work: We were given a quote for cleaning our gutters that was 1937.18. The sales person explained that the reason it was so high was that it would require special scaffolding to get up to the gutters as we have a tile roof and they do not want to damage the roof. Also, the sales person giving the estimate said that we would have to take apart our downspouts in order to clean them properly, and then reassemble them. They said they would be extra careful not to damage our tile roof during the cleaning. It would require a team of 5-7 people, etc.

Response from TROPICAL ROOFING & RAINGUTTERS
I remember this project in Nu'uanu. We explained to her that because her home has such a steep slope, we would have to clean the gutters using ladders, and that there is no way to tell if we would have to take apart the 4 copper downspouts on her home, and gave her the price to cover the dismantling all of them. She agreed to the terms and we went to work. A standard cleaning like this only takes 2 to 3 people max. I'm not sure where she got the notion that we needed 5 to 7 people for this project. We did use ladders to clean the gutters to be sure the integrity of the roofing system was not compromised, and we did end up taking apart and reassembling 2 of the 4 rain gutters. We explained what needed to be done, and we did to the best of our abilities. We did complete the project with the day, and we did do what we promised, there is no reason for this project to take longer than it should've. The home owner did not feel that we did enough, to try and make her happy, the owner of the company did give her a price adjustment as there were 2 downspouts that we could cleaned without dismantling. I'm sorry that this homeowner did not have a better experience with us. She agreed to the terms before we began. The end result was what she wanted, we did the work we promised, she even paid less then she agreed. It seemed that we had a good understanding of what needed to be done, and how we were going to do it. We do our best to do what we promise, and we do try to work out grievances to the best of our abilities. We wish her good luck in her future, and still thank her for the work opportunity.
