Service person showed up by himself so I had to hold the ladder for him. He found multiple reasons that cleaning was difficult and that he could not add the covers as requested. (shingles too close to the gutter, gutters too narrow, etc.) This in spite of the fact I had already installed covers myself over all but about 10-20 feet. I just needed someone with a taller ladder to reach the last section. He then informed me he didn't really have time to move his ladder to clean the entire section of gutter.
Description of Work: Needed a short section of gutter cleaned and covers added.

The sales person was very detailed and covered all of the protections the firm has in place for their customers. Ultimately, they installed a beautiful roof. While not everything went according to plan, when I brought issues to their attention, they addressed them and apologized. That's really important to me and for that reason, I'd use them again!

Repeated no shows and no calls after scheduled appointments. Signed contract on Aug 12th with the written approval roof would be completed before Labor Day. After repeated no call and no shows, roofers showed up end of Sept to complete the project. They completed the roof, but did not do the fascia or the porch per the terms of the contract. After 5 further no shows after scheduled appointments, contractor showed up to cancel and delay another 2 weeks. After rains, we now have leaking in the attic whereby the improper install of the rain guard was not completed on the perimeter of the roof as well as the hatch to the roof was not properly covered in sheet metal subsequently causing further leaks. Office staff do not return phone calls and no one is informed about poor workmanship as well poor customer service. Company came and put filler in the gap in the roof line, and basically said the job is complete, please sign. Invoice was signed, but I would not recommend AHC for home projects in the future. Overall, feedback is communication, it goes a long way, vendor did not communicate timelines, did not follow through with appointments or finalizing a satisfactory job. Project in under warranty, and I assume they will be back in the very near future.

Response from American Home Contractors Inc
Thank you for voicing your opinion. We have reviewed your concerns, and do have to say that this review is a bit of a shock to us. We do know the contract was signed on August 12th. At that time, the Project Coordinator did say he would TRY to expedite the roofing project, but could NOT guarantee this project get completed before you went out of the country. This job could have been completed in a timely manner had you decided what color shingle you wanted. After this delay, the Project Coordinator stated several times that it was not looking like the project would be completed by the time you left for your work trip. The Project Coordinator was very clear and honest about the time frame of completion. Due to your request to be home when the roof was being installed, the project was put on hold. When you decided that you did not mind the roof being replaced while you were out of town, the project was completed within a week of you giving your Project Coordinator the okay to move forward with the installation. After the roof was installed, you asked about the completion of the fascia board. At this time, the Project Coordinator informed you this could not be completed until you replaced the soffit, which you wanted to do on your own. To ensure the project was completed in the most timely way possible, your Project Coordinator volunteered his time to assist in the completion of the soffit replacement. He spent 8 hours one day helping replace this soffit AND installing a ceiling fan. He did this free of charge. Once the prerequisites for the fascia board project were completed, a date was set for finishing the job. Unfortunately, due to inclement weather, the completion date got moved back by 1 week, but was fully completed on the rescheduled date. On the date that the crew was at your home completing the final details of the project, you called into the office to speak with a manager. You were voicing concerns about the crew wrapping rotten fascia. We informed you the Production Manager was out of the office and as soon as he returned would be given the message. This is exactly what happened. The office staff member gave the message to the Production Manager who spoke with the crew chief to ensure the job was being completed to our high standards. Before we could even call you back, you called the office a second time. At this time, our office staff asked you to speak with the crew chief who was at your home. You informed the office that you were not even at the property. You never once voiced your concern with your Project Coordinator, who was at your home assisting in the completion of the job, and actually insisted the office not inform him. When the crew was completed, you signed the completion invoice and still did not voice concerns to the crew doing the job. They would have happily walked you through and explained step by step what was done. Please explain to us how upon completion you were so pleased with the finished product that you gave out beers to our crew, but are now complaining about their work. Let us know at this point what we can do to satisfy your needs. We noticed you included pictures with your negative review. These happen to be photos of your home before the work started. Why did you not include after pictures? You are intentionally giving the impression that we left your home in this condition. Again, this entire review comes as a shock to us and we just want to find a solution to ensure your satisfaction.

Our service technician, Marc Burkett, was prompt, professional and efficient. He replaced a pipe gasket to stop the leak, cleared debris, and made many recommendations for when the roof is replaced in the coming few years. We would definitely use them again.

It went great. Marc did a very thorough job of inspecting and cleaning out a blockage in one spot in my gutter near the downspout. He explained any issues that he found. He ensured that the gutters and downspout were properly secured and checked that the gutters were properly pitched. He was very courteous and very helpful in his explanation of all the things that he found.
Description of Work: I needed my gutters and downspouts inspected and possibly cleaned out if they were plugged. I also wanted to ensure that the fascia was okay and gutters and downspouts were attached properly.

He completed everything in a timely manner and then showed me pictures of how the gutters looked after he finished. Work was so well done that I scheduled a roof tuneup once he had finished.

The tech was right on time. He explained the process and then proceeded to do the work. He cleaned out the gutters, inspected them and took various pictures to show the before/after. He also gave me advise regarding when I should do the cleaning as well as how often. In addition to the gutters, he also inspected the roof. The pictures he took were then emailed to me a day later for my records. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase and consider it a job well done.

This was my first time using American Home Contractor services, and I was pleased with the outcome. Marc Burnett was the Technician that came to my house and cleaned my gutter system. Marc was very professional and knowledgeable of the job that needed to be done. Marc took time to answer my questions and he helped me to gain insight into how to create proper water drainage that will flow away from my house. Overall, I am happy that I chose American Home Contractors and I will look to them for future home care needs.

We called these guys twice- no return call after the 1st conversation with a customer service rep. We asked for an estimate or estimator to come by. Their ads all say they do roofing, including shingles, etc. especially in their "tune-up" offer. No one returned the first call. We had to call again as it was getting ready to rain the next day.He spoke to a woman who passed on that they declined the job, saying they don't or won't do it. My husband did all the repair work from the inside but just could not get on the roof. From this they knew he knows what the job entailed & knows about repairs, etc. and they wouldn't be able to get off with little to no work for the money. We suspect that their tune-up is a sham- they get up there with a caulk gun,squirt out a bunch and then come down and say either everything's great, or give a huge expensive estimate for more work. Homeowners have no idea what they're doing because they themselves cannot get on the roof to see what's going on. No reason they couldn't do a small reshingle job, when they get $150 for basically nothing (their "roof tune-up).
Description of Work: we needed a 2x3 foot area on our roof reshingled.

Response from American Home Contractors Inc
Ms. [Member Name Removed], Thank you for voicing your opinion. As we explained to your husband, the job that you were looking to have completed- completely re-shingling a section of your roof- was more extensive than what's included in our $149 roofing service. Therefore, instead of scheduling an appointment that was more than what would be included, we told your husband that the $149 service would not cover the necessary repairs. We are honest about what is included and what will be completed at the time of service. We take before and after photos, so all the Angie's List members we work with know exactly what is completed at the time of the service. We wish you the best of luck on completing this project. Sorry we couldn't be of service.

Steve a thorough inspection from the attic and from the exterior, repaired all the issues and gave us extra life for our aging roof. It's one of the few home improvement things I've done that costs less than I imagined and I'm very pleased with the result.
Description of Work: During the gutter tune-up, Steve noticed some minor roof issues (unsealed nails, small holes) so he suggested we get a separate roof tune up.
