I called to arrange an estimate on replacing our gutters. The serviceperson who came was very polite, and did call to tell us he'd be late. When he began giving his estimate, he kept talking about additional features, which we didn't want. He said they could be removed but that he would install them anyway. After three times of telling him I didn't want the feature, I ended the appointment and asked him to leave.
Description of Work: No services were performed. Estimate never finished.

Quoted us a price that was reasonable for some gutter repair work and re-locating a downspout line from our roof. they sealed up a gutter that is constructed within our porch roof rather than telling us we needed a whole new gutter. This was the second time they came out to do gutter work after we originally hired them a couple of years back to install their leaf guard system which works beautifully. Plus, this time they did some extra work without additional cost to lay a ice melting wire correctly over the leaf guards.
Description of Work: This was a repeat time we have hired them to do our gutters and downspouts. Very honest and responsive and did a very professional job.

The job was completed in 2 days and looks really amazing. I am so happy to know that I can relax the next time we have a heavy rainfall knowing that my basement is dry.
Description of Work: Due to the slope of the land around my home, I have had continuous problems with rain water coming into my basement. The people from Siwtun were able to study the surrounding landscape and design an ingenious method of taking the water that once settled around my home out to the alley via an overhead drainage system. My foundation is now staying totally dry.

Great service and attention to detail from start to finish. More expensive than other estimates we received, but Swistun's estimate was also more thorough and there were no "surprises" that cropped up later. Absolutely worth it! I highly recommend Swistun.

I have worked with many companies on Angie's List and this company is by far the best. The experience from estimate to finish was without concern. Swistun is an excellent company.

One of the best decisions we've made for our home. We decided to get an additional quote for our gutter project just for peace of mind and for comparison sake and it was a good thing we did. Chris came out to talk to us, get measurements, and go over options. He presented several options we hadn't considered before or had not been informed about by the other vendors. We wanted the quote to be lined itemed so we could see the cost difference between a repair job and a full installation option and when the quote came in, the next day, we nearly fell off our chairs. The full installation option was cheaper than the repair costs we had been given by the other companies. We were also given options that addressed for concerns about ice damning and down spout clogging that had never been brought up by the other vendors. The crew arrived within 2 weeks. They were friendly, prompt, patient to answering all our questions as they worked and kept their workspace very tidy. Chris even stopped by 3 times during the course of the install to ensure things were going well and then performed a follow up after a rain to ensure that there were no leaks and that the water flow was proper. We didn't have to pay until we were 100% happy and, trust me, I paid right away!
Description of Work: Removal of all existing gutters and down spouts on house and installation of all new gutters and down spouts with the addition of 1 new over sized downspout, relocation of a downspout, and adding new gutters to detached garage with two new downspouts added.

Chris was very professional and was on time and very quick on responding to my calls. He answered all my questions and concerns. They replaced an old ggutter on one of the side of my house and replaced downspouts. I needed this to be fix in time for the insurance company and they did. They even sent a receipt to the insurance company describing what they did. Thanks to them I saved my homeowner's insurance.

I'm very pleased. We have an 1880's building in the city with a complicated water problem. We spoke to many people but no one was able to solve the problem until Swistun. We originally met in October of 2011. They weren't available until spring of 2012 and they were not the cheapest but we decided to wait until they were available and it was well worth it.
Description of Work: Replaced all side wood fascias, installed ice barriers and water shield. Covered all exposed wood around openings and installed aluminum flashing caps over gutter fascias. Installed gutters above roof openings as water diverters.

Extremely well. Original work was excellent and followup service a few years later was awesome. Swistun responded promptly on assisting us in repairing the damage, they matched the siding and worked clean and very professional. Followup on satisfaction of work completed was excellent.
Description of Work: Repair and replacement of siding, we previously had Swistun replace our roof, gutters and all the siding on our house and garage. We had some damage a few years later to a section of the siding due a chemical spray spatter.

They were very good. Casey Swistun, the owner, came out and gave a very thorough inspection both inside and out. He spent a lot of time looking and came back out when it was raining to be sure it was where he thought it was. They showed up exactly when they said they would and did all the work in the time they said they would do it. It was excellent service all the way around. They were a little pricey but they got the work done right the first time and if not, they would come back and fix it. I plan to use them again if I ever have a roofing problem.
Description of Work: I used Swistun to put a new roof on our back addition and they fixed some leaks around our chimney. They also stopped a leak where construction had been done badly and it was leaking all the way to the basement.
