Everything was done with great care and they understood our needs 100%. Everything is spotless and still is!
Description of Work: With the first phone call we discussed what we desired (window cleaning inside & out, gutter cleaning, gutter guards) due to brand new construction of the house which was complete late Dec. We determined to go with just the window cleaning and gutter cleaning and to have the gutter guards installed in the fall after a cleaning. When onsite, we also discussed erosion control and drainage because of the slopes on either side of the house (the provided us with 3 different scenarios & prices - very thorough and reasonably priced).

have had a preliminary interview with a young man from Higher Ground. I have not at this time decided what I will do about my problem of water in my crawl space. However, I will have no reservations about contacting them for their recommended service if I decide that what they suggested is what I need to do. They were very accommodating even coming out before he thought he would be able to. Thanks for the

pressure washing
  + -1 more
After two cancellations by the company, they arrived 45 minutes late. A serviceman was dropped off with an air compressor and high pressure wand. He cleaned the bottom half of the house first, which seemed strange to me, but did a good job. He then used a 3 story extension wand to wash the main level and upstairs of the house. I asked him if it wouldn't be easier to use a ladder - and do a better job. He told me the extension would do fine. When he was done, a helper in a truck carrying ladders returned. The exterior side of the gutter was not completely clean to my satisfaction. The other service man went over it again.
Description of Work: Requested Higher Ground to pressure wash the exterior of our home. Upon arrival, serviceman explained that the pressure washing included only siding. I was under the impression that the whole exterior (including rain gutters and windows) would be washed. He told me that the ad in Angie's List stated siding only. I checked, and he was right.

pressure washing

The quality of the pressure wash itself on the vinyl siding was acceptable, but there were a few areas where the gutters were not completely clean. The men mentioned they do not use diluted bleach due to environmental concerns, but said they may use a detergent if necessary. Because of the lateness of the hour, I didn't really get a chance to inspect the work until the next day, and I don't know if they used detergent on those areas. As late afternoon wore on, it became evident this was a long day for the young men doing the work which might explain why their clean-up was unacceptable. They appeared to be in a hurry to leave. They left my deck furniture scattered around on the deck--my grill even blocking the French door leading to the deck so I couldn't open the door from inside the house. I had to ask them to put the furniture back. The second guy said he "thought the other guy had done it". A lot of material spashed up on the house and windows, but they said "it was just loose and would come off easily". I asked them to spray off some of this material with my garden hose, but wound up doing it myelf. I wanted it done correctly, and I could tell their heart was not in it, and they wanted to go. Overall they did an acceptable job under the circumstances of arriving later in the day than planned, then having to play "catch-up". By e-mail I discussed the problems I had with the clean-up, and my disappointment with the condition they left my house, (especially for the extra price charged for the deck and patio), with the manager. He was reasonable to deal with, and said, (see below), I apparently had not received the usual attention to detail his company normally provides, so he offered me a free gutter clean-up for a later time. Since I have "Gutter-Guard", I asked if he could take the cost of that service off my present bill, and he agreed, I had a refund check for $100 within two days. If he had not taken this action, I would not have considered using the company again in the future--but he did. I believe he cares about the quality of his work plus his reputation, and wants his customers to be happy.
Description of Work: I purchased a coupon for pressure washing my house of under 2000 sq feet. I called the company after about three weeks, and scheduled the wash. I told them I wanted to add my deck as an additional cost. The deck is approximately 12 ft. X 75 ft.. They had technical problems and called me the day of the service asking to reschedule, but I had taken the day off work, so they DID make the extra effort come out that day--although about an hour after my appointment time. That was reasonable considering they faced unavoidable, unforeseen problems, but because of the lateness of the day, time became an issue. They crew consisted of two young men in their early 20s. The owner and scheduler was not there, but said on the phone they would be fully capable to give me a price for the deck and he wouldn't be required. The extra price quoted for my deck seemed high compared to the $149 deal for the house, but I agreed to pay it if they included a small cement patio. The young men were polite and in general pleasant to talk to.

Response from Higher Ground Rainwater Systems
I hate to hear that you did not have an optimal experience with our service. We are one of the more expensive home service companies in the area, but we are expensive because our attention to detail and care for our customers. It sounds like you did not receive this treatment during your most recent experience. As such, I'd like to offer you a free gutter cleaning this Fall season, or whenever you would like to use it. We appreciate your feedback and because of you taking the time to let us know about your disappointment we can grow as a company and continue to strive towards outstanding service to our clients.

The job couldn't have gone better.
Description of Work: Adam and Nick arrived early in the morning and immediately started working. They were efficient, kind, helpful and just a pleasure to work with. My windows are beautiful--clean, with newly refreshed sashes and frames inside and out. They did a phenomenal job is just a couple of hours. I couldn't be happier with their work--and what a bargain for that quality of work!

I took advantage of the Big Deal that was offered through Angie's List for gutter cleaning from Higher Ground. I called and spoke to Scott and we set the date. The crew of Chris and Zach actually arrived 40 minutes earlier than we discussed and set right to work. Even though I thought the way that our house was built would present some problems (i.e. where the gutters were and how high off the ground, etc.) the guys were not concerned and had experience with this. Chris and Zach were very professional, thorough, and did a great job. I was so impressed that I signed up for their Scheduled Maintenance Plan to have my gutters routinely cleaned twice a year. I highly recommend this company for gutter cleaning.

I called Higher Ground after purchasing an Angie's List Big Deal coupon. I don't recall exactly what happened after that but scheduling the job was a bit frustrating. There were some miscommunications. With window washing weather is a factor that plays into scheduling. One thing I do remember is that on a day when the job was NOT scheduled I received a call from Higher Ground saying that they were on the way over to do the job. The guy who called seemed unaware that they weren't scheduled at my house that day. Anyway, eventually they did come on the scheduled day and they showed up during the expected window of time. The job was well done and I appreciated that one of the two crew members showed me exactly how they did it and what tools they used so that I could do it myself in the future if I wanted to. I liked the two young men who did the work. They were able to clean a few more windows than I had originally planned on having them do and I appreciated their flexibility. I don't know how their prices compare to that of other window washing service providers. I had purchased an Angie's List coupon that covered a certain number of windows at a discounted price and I paid full price for some additional windows. I didn't shop around.
Description of Work: I hired Higher Ground to wash my windows and storm windows.
