We are a locally owned and operated full service rain gutter company with offices in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. We feel that once you meet with our commission-free estimator and review our product information you will see why we are one of the most respected gutter companies in New England with over 30% of our business coming from referrals from our satisfied customer base.
I had a very bad experience with them. I would not use them in the future. They refused to do the work because there was another contractor at our house when they arrived. They left without even knocking on the door. When I contacted them on the phone later, they were very unprofessional and unaccommodating when I attempted to reschedule the work. I ended up canceling the service and going with someone else.

We are sorry the member had a bad experience. I don't understand the nature of the complaint but I think that the reader will find that this is not the norm if you read our other reviews which are about 180 degrees from this member's comments. We will contact this member to get further detail.

There was no proof that the work was done. It looked like it was done and they weren’t around to let us know that the work was done. They also didn’t leave a note. I saw a stick sticking out of the gutters before I had them out and the same stick was still there after they left.

Our crews are always 2 workers as a company policy - for safety reasons, therefore this description is inaccurate (I am sorry if this comes across wrong but it is something we absolutely never, ever, do). This is a policy that the general manager mandated and never falters from. In the event we are ever short an employee we put the odd man on another crew, for a 3 man crew crew and divide up the schedule across all of our crews (this is something we are prepared for on a regular basis as we have a large number of crews). We apologize if the customer did not find a copy of the invoice and inspection report, one is left behind if no one is home on all jobs (could it have blown away, could the guys have made a mistake and placed it somewhere that wasn't secure - very possible?). We are sorry for any inconvenience but assure the readers that our crews are well screened and most are long term employees and take pride in their work. We will gladly contact this customer and send out our field supervisor to inspect and re-clean the gutters. We thank the reviewer for the business and assure the review and reader that we back our work and that are crews are well prepared and skilled.

It went very well. There are actually two properties they took care of; one in Canton, and the other in Stoughton. The one in Canton is 3 story; the one in Stoughton 2 story. Canton was $275; Stoughton was only $150. They did an excellent job. I had my property manager go to the property afterwards, and I was told that no leaves appeared to have been left around the house boundary. It looked as if the leaves/debris had been raked up and removed from both properties.

Overall, the service was fine. I placed an order over the phone, and the gutters were cleaned. However, there was a few inconsistencies between all the information I got from the sales agent on the phone, and the actual service: 1. I was told that I would get a phone call 24 hours before the service, to make sure that we were ready. However, we never got a phone call. The cleaners arrived one Saturday or Sunday morning (I don't remember which), and just rang the door bell. No warning. 2. I was told that the cleaners use ladders, and that no one would step on my roof. That was incorrect. They placed the ladder in one location, then walked all over the roof to clean the gutters. 3. I was told to prepare cash in an envelope to pay the cleaners. However, the invoice I got from the on-site staff said that they cannot accept any cash or payment in person, and that everything needs to be paid on the phone or online after the service. None of these are big issues, and my gutters were cleaned without any problems. However, it's strange that there was such miscommunication between the sales person and the on-site staff.

I called them back after making an appointment due to the price they quoted not seeming right. They told me they would connect me to the office and they never got me connected, I waited on hold forever. Every time I attempt to contact them and schedule a date or try to figure out where things stand to make sure they don't come out to perform services without me being home or ready for them to do the work. At this point I don't want them to come out without me knowing and the lack of contact and organization really makes me want to avoid going forward with this company, if they want to call me and set things straight right away I would be satisfied.

I know this is a bit old, but I am just now getting to the report. The Big Deal was to be for front and back gutters. They cleaned the back of the house. The front part of the house doesn't have gutter but our attached garage does have $24 (which faces the front yard) which they did and ended up charging an additional $40 to do so. They also failed to remove any debris that ended up on the roofing during cleaning. They said that would be an additional charge as well. It seems pretty common sense that this would be handled under the gutter cleaning as it happened because they were cleaning the gutters. That debris would just end up back in the gutters during the next rain storm! I just feel like this ended up being a bait-and-switch situation where they nickel-and-dimed me for every little thing.

Response from New England Gutter Kings Inc
For whatever reason we have received more negative feedback from members who purchased the $99 big deal ($129 with garage) than any other customers in the history of our company & the history of discounts we have offered. If you read back, page after page you will see that 80+% of our low scores and negative feedback is from those members who purchased Big Deals for $99 over 2 years ago (we only made this offer once & have paid for it ever since in negative reviews). The gutter cleaning service for Big Deal customers was exactly the same as the service we provide to everyone else, our work crews do not know if they are Big Deal purchasers or not.. If you take note, most of the complaints from Big Deal purchasers mention or complain about the added $30 fee for a garage. I even have a complaint for a garage charge from a Harvard Economic Professor (and worldwide speaker as I found after a Google/YouTube search) who complained on Angie's List about the added $30 garage charge ($129 Big Deal) on a property worth over $2m in Cambridge ( a large house which based on size should have been $350-$400 normally)who accused us of a bait and switch because of the extra $30 charge. This reminded me of the guy who went on an email rant to a Chinese restaurant for being over charged a few dollars due to a discrepancy between a new takeout menu with increased prices over the old menu he was ordering from [hyperlink removed] . I can only conclude that these Big Deal purchasers had a different expectation and didn’t fully understand or read the offer, particularly that there was an additional charge to clean the gutters on garage (which frankly was excluded because customers who tend to be bargain hunters will often tell us they will clean the gutters on the garage themselves because it is low, on ground level). It may be that because the offer is heavily discounted (and then Angie’s List takes up to 45% commission as their portion) the purchaser is expecting to be upcharged or overcharged. That is not our case and we resent the insinuation as no one is trying to get rich from the $30 garage fee. Thank you for reading. We hope to earn your business.

They told me that I needed to have an outside faucet, and I didn’t. He was polite but it didn’t make sense that the offer didn’t say so. The way he spoke to me was respectful, though.

20-feet of soffit and fascia were rotting out on one side of the house due to the previous installers putting the drip edge flush with the wood so that water constantly dripped onto the soffit and fascia and rotted the wood. So we called several places, and New England Gutter Kings was a good price with good recommendations from Angie's List. I am very satisfied so far with the 20-feet of new soffit and fascia, and I think it will last much longer than last time because they installed the new drip guard 1/2-inch out from the wood so that water doesn't rot the soffit and fascia in the future. They should probably get an all-around "A+" from me, but I won't know for 5-15 years whether they did a superior job. All I can say is: So far, so good!

Initially talked with the estimator/salesperson. He showed up promptly and sent me his design of which I had questions, but the sales person reassured me it would be sufficient. Price seemed fair and they were able to schedule fairly quickly. They showed up as scheduled and did their thing. That is when the problems began. The new design eliminated a couple of downspouts. Old spouts were rectangular, the new ones are round. I was concerned with capacity. They were not. First issue,the installers left a flat piece of cut sheet metal and I found it on the street after a storm. That could have easily impaled someone on the street below. Second, one of the downspouts world vibrate during any mild wind blowing. I had to call several times over a few months for them to come over and fix it. The solution is barely holding together now. Third, one of the pieces of gutter they replaced had overlapping roof material. They tore apart the roofing materiel that was there. Literally tore it up, like ripping a piece of cardboard. All jagged. And they made no effort to fix that or advise me of it. I found out during the next issue. I got an offer from one of their installers to come by and fix the roof as a separate contract. Fourth, since they eliminated one of the downspouts, that gutter where most of the water is now funneling, is always overflowing, just throwing water everywhere. And it holds water for a long period of time, until it can drip out of the corner, where I was assured I would have soldered seams. I do not have soldered seams. I am still trying to get them to install another downspout. Install was poor at best.

The details of the review are a bit exaggerated and over dramatized. First, the customer was provided a contract that detailed exactly what products he was purchasing along with a full color catalog with those products. We are not sure how the customer didn't realize he had signed a contract for round downspout when he expected square. Second, we are glad that no one was "impaled" and are regret that a small piece of scrape metal was missed during the cleanup. This was an old home where we had to remove the existing gutter, original to the home which had been integrated into the house trim, lapped with tar and other roofing materials which given the age and extreme decay made it a sensitive removal which we took great care with but given it's fragile nature will never be left looking like it was as new. Third, it did not take months for us to come out to address his noise complaint. We actually went out several times but given that we could not reproduce the noise or find its cause it was hard to correct. Fourthly, the issue of a "leaky corner" is the result of the gutter not being cleaned after being installed 2 years ago (the install was in 2012) and is actually backed up. Regardless the review prefers to paint it as a failure on our part. This review is retribution as a result of "buyers remorse" as a result of a missed expectation regarding the downspout, which the customer understood was a error on his part, not our. We regret having to air this issue via this forum but feel we need to defend our reputation and work. We will gladly, with pride, back the warranty of our workmanship. We hope that the reader sees through this complaint and takes the opportunity to read reviews with more merit. Thanks for reading.

No estimate was ever received.
Description of Work: The provider came out for an estimate on redoing a botched gutter install (from a different provider) of lined wooden gutters on an historic house. I had contacted Gutter King because their listing indicated that they worked on wooden gutters. Not so much. The man who came out for the estimate clearly either didn't know how to address the problem or wasn't interested. He promised a written estimate that never came. It would have been better if he had just told me that he did not work on this type of problem. Even better would have been if he could have referred me to someone who does do this type of work.

We are sorry if the customer was not satisfied with the free estimate. We replace & install wood and wood imitation "lifetime" gutters and handle this type of job weekly. I am not sure what the expected outcome of our estimate or free consultation but it sounds like we would not be a very good fit for this customer. We wish her the best of luck in her attempts to correct as she describes, " a botched install by another company".

I have used Gutter Kings multiple times in the past and was very happy with their service. However, this spring I scheduled a gutter cleaning and was told that they would be out quickly. After two weeks I called again. They apologized and said someone would call me back. After two weeks, I called a third time. This time I left a message with a "manager." Still no call back. I'm completely blown away by this lack of service. I'm now in the process of finding a new gutter company.

In an era of Amazon Prime and instant gratification, I just didn't have the time or patience to deal with the hassles of most contractors. New England Gutter Kings made the entire process of replacing our gutters smooth, convenient and pain free. I simply contacted them via their website, they emailed me back quickly and were willing to communicate strictly through email so I could avoid playing phone tag like I tend to do with other contractors. Because I was not in any rush, they told me they would send an estimator over when they had one in the area, and I didn't have to be home. Two days later on a Saturday, the estimator, Ken showed up when I happened to be home. Ken looked over the previous gutter system and asked us what we were looking for. He explained some of the oddities of our layout and what our options were for new gutters. Ken was very friendly and warm to my wife and 1.5 year old son, and did not pressure us or try to upsell us at all. I believe the price range for new gutters was somewhere between $600 and $2,500 depending on what features and add-ons we were looking for. I ended up going the more expensive route to avoid climbing a ladder to remove leaves in the fall. We cut a check for 1/3 the estimate on the spot and were told we would receive a call when they were ready to do the install. On Monday, we received a voicemail saying they would be by on Tuesday to do the install, and we would not have to be home. We left a check for the balance of the estimate that morning, and by the time we came home everything was done. It hasn't rained yet, so I have not tested the gutters, but they do look good. New England Gutter Kings removed the old gutters and left very minimal mess. Nothing a quick sweeping couldn't solve. Gutters are boring and nobody wants to spend money, or miss work in order to have them replaced. If you are looking to hand someone some money and have them put quality gutters up, I would highly recommend New England Gutter Kings. They were an absolute pleasure from start to finish.

As mentioned above they were very proficient at what they did. There was no skimping on the effort to do a great job.
Description of Work: My home gutter system was installed by Gutter King in 2009. I noticed some clogging in some gutters. I called Gutter King to clean the gutter under the guarentee, no-cost cleaning. They responded promply and did an incredibly good job of cleaning out all of my gutters to insure their would be no more clogs. They were very professional and did exceptional work.
