"Hi [member name removed], thanks for the great review...have a GREAT summer!"
"Thanks for the great review [member name removed]!"
"Thanks for taking the time to leave a review (Remove member name). Ice dam removal is expensive for a multitude of reasons, insurance costs, techs are paid quite well due to the dangerous and miserable conditions of their job, high end equipment, etc. We pride ourselves on being the VERY best in the business, and keeping that high level of customer service is sometimes costly. We are however sensitive to the fact that this is not a cheap problem to take care of and work diligently to get it taken care of as quickly as possible. Have a great summer!"
"Thanks for the review (member name removed). Certainly the cost of ice dam removal at the level of service we provide is not cheap. Glad you had a great experience with our professional technician. We always do our best to exceed our customers expectations"
"(member name removed), thanks for leaving us a great review...enjoy your summer!"
"Thanks for the review [members name]. Prompt and professional service is our trademark and we're glad we were able to take care of your problem."
"Thanks for the review . Thank you for calling and letting us know about your forgotten coupon, We're glad to make sure you get the discount you are entitled to."
"Hello [member name removed], Based upon the information you submitted, I believe you have the wrong company. I searched our entire database for your last name, then your address, and then finally as a last resort I looked at each and every job on March 3rd and there were no jobs with that dollar amount due. Please kindly remove this review as it hurts our overall grade with Angie's List (one we've worked very hard for). If the data you entered is inaccurate, and you're sure that we provide you service, please call us in the office so that we may rectify any problem that you may of had. Customer service truly means the world to us, and we will stop at nothing to ensure our customers expectations were exceeded!"
"We sure are sorry that we were not able to service you within your short timeline. I was the busiest ice dam year in our 18 year history and we simply could not get to everyone. Just to clarify, the $50 purchase you made is indeed a coupon...as it is redeemable for $100 of service. Also, the money paid does not come directly to us, but to Angies List. If you contact them regarding this situation they will be happy to refund your purchase. If you happen to need services like ours in the future I hope you give us an opportunity to show you why we are rated so high. Have a GREAT summer!!"
"Thank you for taking the time to rate our services. We really appreciate your "A" rating!!"
"Thank you so much for the thorough and thoughtful review (member name). You experienced exactly what we strive for every day and I don't think I could add anything to your assessment...very well put. Have a GREAT summer!!"
"Thanks for the "A" rating (member name removed)!!"
"Thanks for taking the time to write a review for us [removed member name] , we really appreciate it! We understand that this is not an inexpensive problem to take care of so ALWAYS strive to get the job done professionally and efficiently. Thanks again!!"
"We sure are sorry that your technician was late, we do strive to be punctual but sometimes the Minnesota winter traffic doesn't cooperate. Likewise we occasionally have some machine issues in the cold, but you are not charged for mechanical down time. Glad you were pleased with the service once the issues were resolved. Thanks for taking the time to write a review!"
"Thanks for the review [member name removed], it really means a lot to us. Glad to help!"
"Thank you for taking the time to write a quick review about your experience with the ice dam guys. Josh is a great tech and he'll be glad to know you were pleased with him. We know this service is not cheap so do our best to "get right to it" and not waste any time, thanks for noticing Lisa!"
Brad was knowledgeable and prepared. He explained what he was going to do and what we could do to prevent ice dams in the future. First shoveled snow from the roof about 6 feet up then started the steam machine. I cannot understand the complaints about the time this takes. You can only go as fast as the steam permits and the thickness of the ice slows the thawing process. Once he was on the roof he never came down until the job was finished. Also, I cannot understand the complaints about price. When you figure in the cost of the machine, truck, labor, insurance (I'm sure some have fallen off roofs) and travel time how can you compare this to attorneys fees.
Brad did an excellent job.
The Ice Dam Removal Guys company dealt with me honestly, fairly and ethically. I would definitely call them again.
"Thank you for taking the time to write such a comprehensive and thoughtful review [member name removed]. You are so right in saying that you can only go as fast as the steam and thickness of the ice allows. We understand that at ice dam removal rates it can be frustrating to tally the $$ as the job goes on. We're so glad you were pleased with Brad, he's an A+ guy and a great technician. Thanks again [member name removed]!"
"Thanks [removed members name], We really strive to act as quickly as possible, we know the horror of finding water leaking into your home. Glad you gave us a call and it sounds like you are too. Thanks again for the review Janet"
"Thanks for the review [removed member name]. We often point out to people that we are certainly not the cheapest guys out there, nor are we the most expensive either...we're just the best. We know that's a pretty bold statement, but it is truly what we strive to be, and if you read the many many reviews like yours, other customers believe that too."
"Although we can certainly appreciate your frustration with the cost associated with having ice dams removed, it is priced that way for a multitude of reasons. You have already mentioned the insurance cost, additionally, the technicians are paid well and have the latest custom made equipment. Doctors, Lawyers and such are able to practice their trade 12 months out of the year and do not do their work in sub freezing temperatures, standing on an icy roof with the wind blowing in their faces and steam freezing to every part of their clothing and exposed flesh. It is a miserable and dangerous job to say the least. Add to that the fact that to be able to provide same day next day service we need to have our technicians "on call" 7 days a week. We do provide exceptional service and we're glad you were happy with your technician and the work he performed in the end."
Although it was covered with a foam cover, it was still frozen a bit. He had all the equipment and got right to work. When they come out you do pay for set up and take down, so be prepared to add that time on to the cost. It took an hour longer than the two hour minimum because we had a lot of ice on the back of the house and in the gutters. John checked with me long before the initial two hours expired and gave me feedback on the options of continuing the work or stopping at 2 hours. We decided to add another hour of work and the result was well worth it.
There was a lot of clean up involved after the work was completed at my house. The sidewalk under the gutters was covered with ice and water. We got out the pump and pumped the water away from the house before it could freeze and hauled big heavy blocks of ice from the sidewalk after John left.
I should note that I called the office last evening after 8 pm and John was at my house at 8 am this morning. My roof is completely clear of ice dams and a lot of the snow. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone with ice build up and would call them again in the future.
"Thank you for such a complete and thoughtful review [Member name removed]. The service you received is standard fare for us here at The Ice Dam Guys. Prompt service, good communication so there are no surprises, and a knowledgeable and caring technician. Of course John would have been happy to help you move the additional snow, water and ice from the ground around your home, but at ice dam removal prices many people like yourselves opt to to it on here own. Thanks again [Member name removed]!!"
"Thanks [members name], Glad you were happy with Alans service. Always important to gently steam the ice off the shingles and never "chop" or hammer or chisel, etc. Thank you for making that point. Glad we could be of service and rest assured that if you need us again, we'll provide that same level of care and service."
Update: The ice dam guys have resolved our issue to our satisfaction which I feel is fair to my mother and the ice dam guys. I feel confident to use them again, so although I was disappointed with the service listed above I would try them again due to the quick resolve and professionalism by their management.
"Thanks a million for allowing the opportunity to resolve your dispute. Customer service is easy when all your customers are happy. But the true determining factor of great customer service is how you deal with a customer that is less than satisfied! We listened to you, understood your problem with what took place, and rectified it. Although our technician (Clayton) had the very best of intentions, his communication with you throughout the entire project was less than adequate. I'm glad you allowed us to the opportunity to help resolve your problem! Thanks for putting your trust in us two years in a row! ~ Ice Dam Guys"
The price, well...it's the laws of supply and demand. Yes it's expensive but it's a lot less expensive then having your walls flooded and dealing with an insurance claim and all the headaches associated with that mess.
"What a tremendously thoughtful and informative review [member name removed], thank you! You touched on many outstanding points, and what it often boils down to for so many people is price and service. The price is what it is for a multitude of reasons; insurance, training, best equipment, well paid technicians who do a miserable job day in and day out, etc. However, as you experienced, we do our best to provide a level of service that most people are no longer accustomed to. Beau is an A+ guy and an outstanding technician, I know it will make his day to know how pleased you were with him. Thanks again [member name removed]."
