Had them come and give me a bid for Seamless Gutters. Their expertise and thoroughness of addressing my needs and ensuring that everything was covered was Outstanding. I had LOT's of questions and Higher Ground answered them all and made me feel like they were glad to. Easy to talk to and very customer orientated. I had several other companies come and give me bids also. I felt like their salesman were not as knowledge and just wanted to sell me the job. Went with Higher Ground and SO HAPPY I DID. They kept me informed EVERY step of the way. Showed up when they scheduled and performed EXCELLENT work. I was so impressed with the job, from start to finish. I would VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIGHER GROUND and will use them again for any future projects.

The workers and Beckett worked hard and professionally and everything went very well and according to plan.
Description of Work: I had a drain pipe put in around the perimeter of my backyard. Prior to this, I had rainwater run off going through my crawlspace to the front yard. The work was done in the spring of 2016. Since that time, we were in a drought up until that last few weeks. I didn't know if the drainage worked until two weeks ago when it rained a few inches in a couple of days. My backyard was not flooded. The water was directed to the front curb area where it ran off to the storm drain across the street. My crawl space was completely dry.

Even after the explanation by Beckett of the work to be performed at the estimate appointment, Justin came back down to explain the work that was to be performed after looking at the location. Thought the cost was very reasonable considering the time Justin spent up there and the quality of materials used.

The work was performed a week earlier than scheduled. It seems that some of the sticks and debris that was on the roof was tossed wherever into the yard however, anything that was in the gutters was disposed of. While the drought has reduced the amount of rainfall, the few times that it has rained, water was flowed through the gutters as it should.

The guys came out when they were supposed to. They dug all the trenches by hand, replaced the sod and cleaned up really well around the house. They put 4 drain lines in mine and my neighbors yard from the front gutters on our house out to the road. This has helped to move a lot of rainwater that was building up between our houses during the torrential rains we've been getting. Beckett came out and did an estimate and a couple weeks later the work got completed and looks great. They also reformed some of the dirt around my crawlspace to ensure water was moving away from the crawlspace opening. This company has really been a pleasure to work with now on multiple occasions. They did some smaller repair work on my gutters about a month prior to this. Overall, I'd definitely recommend Higher Ground for gutter/drainage work.

Went out of his way to do this on a Sunday so it was finished for me before Thanksgiving. I have a lot of trees around my house so cleaning the gutters, solo, was no small feat. I added to the Gutter Cleaning price on Angies to have all of my windows, exterior only, cleaned. I have 17 windows so $120 to do this was great. Thank you for the great service!
Description of Work: Cleaned out all of my gutters and cleaned all of the windows.

Response from Higher Ground of Chattanooga
Of course it is hard to say what did and did not happen on a job one and a half years ago. I will say that if this is true it is 100% unacceptable by Higher Ground's standards. At this point there is no way that I as the owner go back and make it right with ( members name removed). We have reached out to ( members name removed) twice over the last year and a half to see if he wanted us to clean his gutters again. He never mentioned this grievance. He only stated that his son would clean the gutters for free. At this point, one and a half years later, all that I can do is assure ( members name removed) and all of our current / future customers that when we are hired to perform a gutter cleaning we remove the debris from every nook and cranny of the roof, gutter and downspouts. If we do not and we are notified within four weeks we will come back and re do it for free. As Alexander Pope once wrote "to err is human...". At Higher Ground we but men. However, I hope that ( members name removed) and all of our customers can trust us to do a great job 99% of the time. For the other 1% of the time I hope that they can trust us to always promptly fix our mistakes with a smile and hand shake. That is our guarantee.

Problem: Water standing in the crawlspace of my home Mr.. Honecker responded in a timely and professional manner to my request for possible service. I stated the problem and he examined the perimeter of the house and provided a solution along with an estimate to do the job. He was to install a 4 inch drain line to run from rear middle downspout around the corner of the house where it would pick-up the downspout on the corner and run to the edged mulch bed. A 6 inch trench filled with decorative river rock was to be installed on the outside of the edging to disperse water from the drain line. Approximately 2 tons of top soil was was to be installed to grade the back yard away from the house. Additionally, a 6 inch trench was to be installed behind the retaining wall toward the North. Finally, a splash guard was to be installed on the lowest middle gutter in the rear. After they finished, the job was checked and it did not match the job description of what was to be done. Mud and dirt were left over the yard and in the street. Of all the proposed work to be done the only part completed to satisfaction was the gutter repair. I called and Beckett came out 2 days later and visibly saw the incomplete and messy work. He apologized and attributed the unacceptable work to the workers being young. He proceeded to clean parts of the yard and the street in front of my home as well as add a little depth to the trenches. The trenches were not dug as specified in the proposal. I made additional contact with Beckett when there was no change in the initial problem they were to correct. He said they could do something different to correct it for additional funds. He gave the additional amount but I don't want to misquote without referring back to documents. Of course I did not follow through with that proposal. The problem with the water in the crawlspace was not corrected in the least. Infact, the job attempted did not represent a professional business. I am totally disappointed knowing I paid $1,085.00 and got no results. The reviews on Angies List drew me to this provider.

Response from Higher Ground of Chattanooga
With all due respect to Mrs. [Member name removed] I would like to explain this project from our point of view. From this projects inception I explained to Mrs [Member name removed] that a French Drain behind the house maybe needed to fix the moisture issue in the crawl space. I told her that we should also pipe the roof water away from the rear of the house. I proposed it as project A and project B. She opted for the less expensive project of piping the roof water away from the back of the house. We were hoping that this would remedy this issue and negate the need for a French drain. I would like it to be known to the public that the drain pipes we installed work well. As for the trench behind the retaining wall, we ran into some issues with the construction of the existing wall that could not be seen prior to excavation. We could not install decorative gravel but we were still able to make water flow away from the house and retaining wall. Regarding the mud, the crew was hit with a thunderstorm storm at the end of the day make the project much more messy. We returned within the week to pressure wash the affected area. When I left the project I was under the impression that Mrs. [member name rmeoved] was a satisfied customer. I am sorry that this was not the case. Customer service is our number one priority.

I called Higher Ground around 11:30 am on a Monday. My call was answered, information taken, and I was told I would get a call back "before lunch" to give me a quote based on a google maps look of my home. Within 30 minutes I received a call back and was told that it would cost $120 to clean the gutters and clean up after themselves. They were even able to come the same afternoon. I didn't call anywhere else to see if this was fair estimate (Our gutters haven't been cleaned in several years and our house is tall and has a very steep roof + we have a baby due in a week so it sounded like a great deal to me). I received a phone call about 10 minutes before the guys arrive. They were great with my dog, professional, nice. They were done within an hour (give or take). Totally cleaned up around the house for any debris that fell during the cleaning. After it was all said and done I had the option to pay with a check or to pay on their website. I was also given a gutter guard quote within minutes of the request. I would use Higher Ground again and will recommend them to friends.

Picking up from above, they provided fair price & friendly service to clean our gutters. I also mentioned a bad squirrel problem we had. The entry near roof had been fixed once, but they ate a hole again. They permanently fixed the problem at fair price. We could sleep again! They didn't have to help us w/ this as gutter company, but they gladly helped.
Description of Work: I have a 3 story house with high pitched roofs. Some gutter companies won't touch for liability reasons. They gladly do gutter cleaning then also fixed a attic squirrel problem. They now have me on an annual schedule, and call before to make sure all leaves have fallen.

We were very impressed with Higher Ground. The phone estimate was accurate and the team that came to do the work arrived on time and was very professional. They spent quite some time on the roof as our gutters hadn't been cleaned in a long while and needed a lot of attention. The price included gutter cleaning of a two story house and a very steep cupola (which required rope work) and removal of all the debris generated. They even swept off the back deck. I was also able to get an estimate for future work to be done at the same time. I will definitely use Higher Ground in the future.

Response from Higher Ground of Chattanooga
This customer purchased a Big Deal for gutter cleaning that was restricted to the Chattanooga city limits. Her home is located outside of this area. Angie's List was supposed to have fail safes in place to insure that people outside of this area would not purchase this promotion. We contacted her immediately and the situation was resolved promptly. Higher Ground works all over Hamilton and Bradley county but we generally only offer promotions within 10 miles of our head quarters.

They did a very neat job of cleaning the gutter guards, the roof, and everything that fell to the deck and ground. Cleaning the gutter guards proved to be more than a simple problem but they returned later and had the solution that worked. The gutter guards are now completely clean and working.
