Melcher and Nick were very professional and did a great job. They started by cleaning gutters and had to work around some active wasps. They washed our very high windows, both inside and out, and even cleaned a drain at the bottom of our driveway. They were very polite and efficient.

Timely arrival, detailed discussion of the work in advance, and very efficient accomplishment. No problems of any kind.
Description of Work: Cleaned out all roof gutters, and all drain spouts. This was a Big Deal, and the added charge for a 3-story rear façade was very reasonable. They volunteered to blow the remaining leaves off my deck as well.

Their cleanup of the property left it in better shape than when they had it arrived. I'm very satisfied with their service!!!
Description of Work: I responded to a special price offer to cleaning rain gutters and down spouts. The crew appeared exactly on time, removed gutter guards, used leaf blowers to clean out the gutters which had leaves and pine needles in them despite the guards and made sure the down spouts were clear and working.

They did a great job. Very knowledgeable. I will certainly call them next year.
Description of Work: My very clogged gutters and drains were cleaned and, when needed, repaired. They tested all the drains. I wasn't even sure they were working. I was very reassured. They also cleaned off my roof and deck.

It has been a long time since they provided services. They were trying to come and do our gutters , but due to bad weather they weren't able to do so. Since it's been such awhile I don't remember the date and cost of services. I would recommend them.

The manager came out and diagnosed the problem as rainwater from a downspout emptying near the foundation. He recommended a 30 foot drain pop. They did a great job, using real PVC piping as opposed to cheap corrugated stuff. They included a pop-up drain cap at the terminus. The job was neat and professional. The workers were friendly and helpful.

I wanted drainage installed from my barn. They did not want to do that and suggested a catchment system to catch the rainwater instead. This was fairly expensive and I was not comfortable with their solution to be able to handle the winter freezing weather. I went with someone else who did what I originally wanted, which has worked out fine.

Their subcontractor did not understand exactly what was required, and a small part of what they did was not as ordered. However Higher Ground corrected this with no problem. During the work Higher Ground discovered that part of the porch roof was completely rotten, and they were able to do this extra work for us in a very professional manner. So the only thing they could be marked down for was communication with their gutter sub-contractor, but overall we were very pleased and would certainly recommend this company. Higher Ground staff were all friendly and professional.
Description of Work: Higher Ground quoted to replace gutters with the new continuous type, and with gutter guards.

There was one miscommunication about exactly when the workers would be taking down the old gutter before installing the new one, but the folks in the office were very apologetic, and it didn't really impact us at all - we were just confused to find the gutter removed on that particular day. | |We'll probably use these guys again for a routine gutter cleaning!
Description of Work: Higher Ground Rainwater Systems cleaned out our gutters, and also replaced a portion of the gutter on our stand-alone garage that was damaged by a tree falling. Both were done very well and I have no complaints.

Nice young men, but service was a little pricey. Blew debris from driveway when roof work was done, but most leaves ended up in plant beds. Would have been preferable for complete removal.

After talking to HG, they made it clear that these other estimates were complete overkill. I highly recommend Higher Ground!
Description of Work: Re-routed and repaired storm drain and downspout. Very knowledgeable and professional, and was able to explain the issue and remedy in terms that were easy to understand. They also determined a reasonably priced secondary plan to implement if the original fix didn't fully resolve the leaky basement (which ultimately wasn't needed). Very responsive - one minor issue arose after they completed, but they quickly returned to resolve the problem. No more leaking in the basement even after several very heavy downpours. I chose Higher Ground after getting several quotes from other companies that ranged all the way up to $12k of what I thought was unnecessary work such as completely digging up the entire foundation to tar and seal, or installing a sump in the basement.

The two young men who did the work were professional and did a great job. The windows sparkled. I plan to contact them again to perform the same services this year. I was somewhat surprised when they showed up as I wasn't expecting them until the following week. But it all worked out.

They were very professional, easy to contact, and were able to schedule my service very quickly. The crew actually arrived a little earlier than the time they were scheduled for. Some reviews indicate they took a while to schedule, but this may have been when we were having the torrential rains last summer -- probably they had a high call volume.

Contrary to what I was told by one of the business owners that, "they used their crew to install the guttering/downspouts". Communication was poor to non-existent at times. Crew was absent from the work site for over a week at one point without reasonable explanation. Ignored my explicit directions with regards to one aspect of the work after being communicated to their employee(s) on two different occasions. Job was finally completed to my satisfaction, but overall was a very frustrating experience. Found their pricing on jobs to be inconsistent and inflated in comparison to other firms.
Description of Work: Higher Ground subcontracted the guttering/downspouts installation on our building.

I did not like these people. When I called to talk to them about the Big Deal it was about window washing. I described the windows by size and number of windows prior to them coming out side. I counted them and gave the approximate sizes. They didn't come until late in the afternoon around 4 or 5 when there was little daylight left so they had to come back a second day. The man that came out was going to charge me approximately an extra 200 dollars to finish the job. They were charging me for the extra day when they came late the day before and ran out of time. They did not treat me appropriately.
