Description of Work: Some gutters were installed improperly and required a return visit. They claim in their advertising that "you'll never have to clean gutters again." That just means that you'll have to pay them to clean them for you.

Response from Gutter Helmet of WNC
[Member Name Removed]'s gutters did not need cleaning. We are very clear during our sales visit that the customer is responsible for keeping their roof clean. [Member Name Removed] lives under a very heavy canopy of Hemlock trees. We have been very nice and accommodating to [Member Name Removed] but I guess she does not appreciate it.

I was annoyed that he came about 20 minutes early (this is not being punctual in my eyes). I had to stop what I was doing. 10 mins. early ... I can understand that. 20 - impolite. Within a couple of minutes Darryl immediately started trying to sell me his product. While I normally anticipate this, in this case I did not. He explained pros and cons and I said I know nothing about it, so would have to do my research and I just did and it's unacceptable. He was ready to write an estimate just based on what he saw in the front of our house. I asked him to go to the back and his reaction was an expensive one. It may be true but why did I have to ask him to look at the entire gutter. He was not a professional - just a marketeer. I don't want to read a comment by the company or Darryl refuting this. He was NOT going to go to the back until I asked him. His next step after viewing the front was to go write an estimate. He said companies pay $150 to NC (and he said, "Welcome to NC."). To do the gutter in the back it cost an extra $200 due to the height. Truisms or not, my search for a different company continues. I will verify this (I did and based on two professionals - NOT marketers or marketeers - it's not true). There are so few reviews here on Angie's List that I should've looked further. When I did, I did not see enough positive reviews of this product (not this particular company in Asheville) that I will not spend my money on it. Their cost to just clean the gutter (that was given separately) was between 600-700. The cost for replacing the gutter in the back and other issues was over $2000. Sorry I don't have the exact figures - the invoice is elsewhere right now. (Note: 1) I did get another gutter cleaning estimate and was $150. So I do not understand the paying $150 to NC and charging $200 due to the height of our house. On 8/8/11 Got another estimate and he said if the building was being modified, you pay $150 for a building permit. Doing gutter work doesn't require this. His guys go on the roof and do heights all the time - it's NC. He doesn't boost his price by $200 for heights.) What he did not say was the cost per sq' of his product. I found that out elsewhere. It's extremely expensive and again, I was concerned about the bad reviews of the product itself elsewhere on the internet. They seem costly and if they are not with future estimates, I will correct this. (Note: I am the one who got the estimate, not the one whose name is on this account.)
Description of Work: I wanted to get our gutters in our newly purchased house cleaned. I realized some repair might be necessary. We now live in a "high" (40'?) two-story house. I called this company because they're close. How can I call a guy professional when I called him specifically to do a gutter cleaning estimate and he starts talking about his expensive product. Look at other opinions all over the internet before you decide to use this company. We're getting our gutters replaced with gutter guards that do not require any work (or squirting water 50' in the air to clean them). The cost $600.

Response from Gutter Helmet of WNC
My name is Brian Friel. I am the owner of Gutter Helmet of WNC. I am sorry the member is unhappy. We are a Gutter protection company. We will clean gutters but we also want to install our main product. I'm sure if the member had told our estimator she did not want gutter protection, Darrel would have acquiesced. In any event, we do charge extra for 60 foot ladder work. Anyone who owns and operates a 60 foot ladder would agree that it adds to the cost of the job. We apologize to the member for the negative experience. We would like to state that the member is not the person who called for an estimate. The very reasonable expectation we have of a customer is that they personally meet with our estimator. We wish all the best to the member and Ms. Dennis.

Description of Work: The company came out to give us an estimate. They were thorough and professional. We opted to not move ahead with using their services (or anyone else's) at this time based on the surprisingly high expense to clean our gutters.

We have problems in bad weather where stuff will run from our roof to our heat pump. They put this system in and it stops probably 99% of the rain from going off the house and all over the place; it takes the water right into the gutter without overflowing it. We called several companies that didn?t get back to us but this company got back to us very promptly. The guy arrived within 15 minutes of when he said he was going to and the company presented itself as being very professional. The Gutter Helmet is doing exactly what they said it would do. I don?t know if we got a good price; we just needed to have something done so we did it. I found another system that was rated better so I would probably use Gutter Helmet again but I'd do more research first. When the salesman showed up, he told us that it would take care of the problem and not one drop of water would overflow. That was not true. I got online and saw some recordings that show the system and it takes care of about 99% of the water. We are happy with the product but the salesman was just overzealous.
Description of Work: Gutter Helmet put a drip system in all of our gutters.

The person that came out was excellent. However, there was some problem with their systems. They weren?t recommended highly by other consumers. I had the work done by some other company. This company was fine, but it didn?t work out for me.
Description of Work: Gutter Helmet Of Western North Carolina gave me an estimate, a month ago. The estimate was for gutter installation.

waited after first estimate and decided to take advantage of sale i heard abouot on radio. then when they refigured the final price was higher than original because they mistakenly left of a long piece of gutter helmet.. so even with the sale i had to scale back. We hope to finish the upper story before Fall,. The gentleman who did the estimate was very good and really knows gutters, rain, roof and his competition. We had a budget of under 2K and they came in at 1905.00. THey were very good abouot trying to keep in budget and offering alternatives but we wanted gutter helmet. They suggested we check with homeowners insur for hail damage and I did. They were very informative, helpful and not high pressure. The installers were wonderful, on time, fast, clean and even caught a copperhead that was heading into my garage where our kitties sleep.!!!!! I was petrified but they were very calm cool and collected. THey left before I could thank them again. They were speedy and explained everything about how to care for the gutters etc. I choose 'bad" for pricing but really it was between bad and fair and more toward the fair side. you need to add another category like "pricey" or something less than "bad". I got other estimates but no where near as professional.
Description of Work: install gutter only on front of pool house install gutter, down spouts and gutter helmet on screened in porch plus reorient second story down spout. clean all gutters, add gutter helmet to study wing. add gutter helmet to five foot span on second story where there was moss and pine needle buildup.

Description of Work: I called Gutter Helmet to give me an estimate to remove old Gutter Guard damaged by earlier roof replacement and install new Gutter Guard. As I was a return customer, I was given a very favorable price to do this work.

Project was done on time and on budget. Water issues have been cleared up. I DON'T HAVE TO CLEAN THE GUTTERS ON MY 2-story HOUSE!!!!!!
Description of Work: When we moved into the house we had water issues in our basement. The gutters were not handling the rain properly due to poor design and clogging. We have a lot of trees around the house. So we had them clean gutters, repair minor damage, clean roof of leaves, and install Gutter Helmet. Since then we have had the Gutter Helmet removed to have a new roof put on. Gutter Helmet was replaced along with the replacement of one half of the gutters on the house due to pre-existing damage.

I already knew I wanted that system, as I spent a lot of time on their website and my parents had bought it. I've had it since last summer and I don't have to worry about leaves, pine cones and sticks clogging up my gutters ever again. It helps with drainage issues a lot. Every couple of months I used to have to pay about $40 to someone who did a bad job, throwing leaves down, not cleaning up. Forget that.
Description of Work: This company has a gutter system that keeps junk out of your gutters. They did replace some of the gutter clamps to make their system work. Mike came and gave an estimate. On time and professional. He told me the cost quickly and gave me color choices for the system which would match my roof. The work was done when scheduled (soon after Mike's visit) and I was out of town so it didn't bother me. They cleaned up really well and I couldn't tell they were ever here.
