J And J Gutter Cleaning

Jerry did an excellent job. Showed up exactly when he said he would and showed me along the way the issues he encountered - which were plenty since I hadn't had the gutters cleaned in 12 years and pretty sure the prior owners hadn't. Lots and lots of roofing debris. He quoted his price upfront but let me know when he saw the condition that it would be higher - and by higher, I mean an extra $20. Very reasonably priced and I'll be the good homeowner and have him back yearly now. His standard price is more like $130. $180 if you want water run through them (which I did) and $200 if you have a mess because you've neglected them for 20 years.

Jerry arrived to look at the job. I was not home. He started working on the job before any written estimate was given. When I arrived, he had started the work already and was trying to talk up his price. After he was done, he claimed the $200 price was low and suggested I tip him. In terms of the work, the gutters appeared to be clean on the low gutters. I didn't check the higher gutters, the downspouts were not cleaned at all. He puts aluminum ladders right on the gutters an assured me the gutters were not going to get scratched, but the reality is aluminium ladders scratch the paint off the gutters. Sloppy and unprofessional.

They are very professional and careful and did not simply throw leaves on ground but collected what they cleaned out of several gutters. They were very thorough and prompt and in fact called to come over earlier to finish the job a few days before the scheduled time. The price was reasonable compared to others I have used in the past and I even gave a large tip because of the excellent work. They bagged all the leaves and i have several OAK trees around so not an easy task. I plan to use them in the spring when the flowering trees start to shed into the gutters. I can use gutter helmets because of the roof pitch so I need this service every year. Will stick with these gents in the future. These gents are only in the yellow pages but I found them through word of mouth.
