gutter repair

Description of Work: Burkheads installed gutter guard on the gutters on our garage and on the first and second levels of the rear of our home. After installation, some sections of gutter covering looked uneven, and a sharp piece of snipped metal was left on the ground in our back yard, where there was a real risk a child might step on it. Installation of some sections of the gutter guard do not appear to meet manufacturer's specs, in that too few zip screws were used - in some cases, none at all in the back edges of the panels. The cost originally cited by owner was $1,680, which he said included a $300 discount. I asked for gutter guard on an additional stretch of about six feet of second-floor guttering, and the owner added $420 to the price. I asked for an explanation, and he said it had to do with height and the required ladder length. In my judgment, that makes no sense, given that the workman didn't ascend to a different height or use a different ladder than the one he'd used for the rest of his work. I left messages with the company asking for some adjustment in the price, but have gotten no answer. I've received no written warranty, just word-of-mouth assurance that if I had any problems I could call and they'd be fixed. I plan to install the missing zip screws myself.

Thank you for your kind words about our company. Sorry for the tiny piece of scrap that was left on the job. Don't forget about your lifetime warranty on your new product and I'm glad we were 900.00 less than our competition. Thank you again

We are very sorry you did not receive our voice message stating we could not come due to the 12" of snow and ice that hit that day. We can do the inspection for free for you since we could not make it during that time of hazard. If you would like to claim a free inspection call Jim directly at 502-741-9706. Tell him James said we owe you a free mold inspection.

Sorry I thought I gave you my direct cell number only because you had to cancel our last meeting when you were working late. I am still able to take your call anytime and I will pull off any job to come over and look at your project. I am only 1 call away. Sorry but I am only good scheduling over phone or via email. The Angie's list links take days to get thru. I emailed you recently with my cell number again ( thru Angie's list link ) but in case you don't have it handy here it is 502-741-9706 thanks ( Jim ).

Thank you very much for your kind words about our company. Don't forget our windows have the lifetime glass breakage warranty on them so you never pay a dime if your glass gets broke and this is a transferable warranty. The foam spray and weap in exterior will be nice this winter also. It was a pleasure working with you also. See you on the next renovation you do.

Description of Work: I had a leak in my bedroom so I purchased a big deal for an inspection and roof repair. They put ahead on their list of priorities since I had a leak, which I appreciated. When they came out they noticed right away all the problems associated with my roof. They were helpful in guiding me through the insurance claim process and it is still ongoing. I highly recommend thus company.

Description of Work: I found Burkhead's through an Angie's List Big Deal for a roof inspection. Jim Burkhead came out and inspected my roof. He said it was getting old (25 yrs) and also commented on the things the original builders had done wrong on the roof. I asked him for an estimate for a new roof as noted above. He was also very helpful in picking the color of the shingles (he had a brochure of all selections). I had previously had two other estimates which were $3000-5000 higher plus they were not very helpful in helping me pick the color of the shingles. Jim gave me the address of a job he had done with the same color shingle; my wife and I drove by the house and liked his recommendation. I asked Jim for a copy of his insurance/workman's comp and he replied right away. The job was started a few days after I accepted his offer. The roofers did a great job stripping the old shingles and putting on the new shingles. They were very professional (hand nailed shingles) and did a good job cleaning up the work site. Total time to complete the job was 2 full days plus 2 hours on the third day. I would highly recommend Burkhead's Home Specialist.

Description of Work: Mr. Burkhead went out of his way to locate the best deal for us on soundproof windows that his crew installed on a cold day in Feb. These guys are perfectionists! They went out of their way to make sure they didn't make/leave a mess. They were also entertaining to watch while they worked. They installed soundproof windows in our master bedroom and our den. They also worked with us on scheduling the job and were very accommodating. I would definitely use them again.
