Description of Work: New Gutters - Only problem at all was getting an installation date. They are very busy and took some time to get us booked. But once the date came, the crew was on time and efficient. The gutters look great and hopefully we will get rain again some day so we can fully check them out. Kudos to Jeff Lynn our sales contact. He provided the bid in a timely manner and was very responsive while I nervously waited to get on the schedule.

The company representative was prompt for the estimate. Their crew also came promptly and added the light sheilds and added the fiberglass. The price seems high, but perhaps that is the going rate.

Paul Olson was very helpful. He helped me with the Oregon tax credit and Energy Trust rebate for rental property. The work was done quickly and well. It was summer season and they were busy and had to do the job in two sessions. Again (this was the second time I used Gale) their accounting department billed me and demanded payment before the work was complete. I suggest you make sure they understand that payment in full comes with work being done in full!
Description of Work: Gale insulated our duplex with R-38 in the attic and R-13 in the walls. They removed shingle siding and drilled the holes for the wall blow-in behind the shingles so that they were invisible. Then they repaired any broken shingles and repainted so that I didnt need to do anything.

TWO CREWS WERE SCHEDULED FOR THE SAME DAY, AND FOUND OUT THAT DAY THAT THE DUCT CREW WOULD HAVE TO BE RESCHEDULED (CAME TWO DAYS LATER). ATTIC CREW WAS ON TIME AND DID FAST WORK, CLEANED UP THE LITTLE MESS THAT WAS MADE. DUCT CREW WAS ALSO ON TIME AND THEY FOUND A LEAKING PIPE UNDER THE HOUSE WHICH THEY TOLD ME ABOUT AND EVEN TIED A STRING TO IT SO MY HUSBAND COULD EASILY LOCATE IT. ONLY ISSUE I HAD WAS THAT THE BILL FOR THE DUCT WORK TOOK A LONG TIME TO GET TO ME. I WOULD DEFINTIELY RECOMMEND THEM. THE ESTIMATOR ALSO HELPED ME WITH THE ENERGY TRUST PAPERWORK.

I have asbestos siding so insulation had to be installed on the inside walls. This was less expensive than having the outside tiles removed. The workers very meticulously covered all my inside furniture with plastic. After the work was completed, they filled and spackled every hole. They did very professional work.

Work was bid upon, price accepted and a schedule established. The contractor failed to meet the initial schedule, and numerous subsequent scheduled dates (four to be exact). The contractors representative, scheduler, and supervisor systematically failed to return my calls. I was compelled to undertake extraordinary efforts to protect the house and grounds from damage due to recent severe rainstorms. Finally, I was forced to seek the assistance of another contractor for gutter installation.

THEY DID A GOOD JOB, SHOWING UP ON TIME, COMPLETING THE WORK IN THE PROMISED 3 HOURS, AND TOOK A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF CARE. THE REASON I SAID UP TO R-38 IS THAT OUR CRAWL SPACE TAPERS DOWN OUT TOWARDS THE EAVES TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS DIFFICULT TO ACHIEVE THE REQUIRED THICKNESS. THEY ACTUALLY ADDED A LITTLE MORE TO THE HIGH PART OF THE SPACE TO BRING THE AVERAGE UP. OUR HOUSE IS NOTICEABLY MORE COMFORTABLE.

THIS WAS NOT ONE OF GALE'S FINEST HOURS. DESPITE HAVING SPEC'D THE DOORS BY FAX, AND HAVING A CONFIRMED BID, THEY INSTALLED THE WRONG DOORS (NO WINDOWS), AND WANTED ME TO PAY FOR THE FULL PRICE OF THE OTHER DOORS. IT TOOK A LONG TIME, AND I FINALLY STILL HAD TO PAY $350 TO GET IT DONE, ALTHOUGH IT WAS THEIR MISTAKE. I WAS OVER A BARREL DUE TO TIME CONSTRAINTS. I WOULD NOT HAVE THEM DO THIS AGAIN, BUT MAY HAVE THEM DO SOMETHING ELSE.

GALE IS A FAST COMPANY THAT DOES MANY THINGS, SOME OF THEM VERY, VERY WELL. OTHER WORK REQUIRES YOU TO WATCH CLOSELY DUE TO DETAIL ISSUES. PART OF OUR ATTIC WAS INSULATED WITH THE WRONG MATERIAL, AND THEY DID NOT DO A GREAT JOB OF CLEANING UP AFTERWARD. THEY FIXED THINGS AFTER THE FACT TO OUR EVENTUAL SATISFACTION. INSULATION WAS ONE OF THE BETTER EXPERIENCES WITH THIS COMPANY. I MAY USE THEM FOR A FUTURE JOB, BUT I WOULD WANT TO BE THERE THE WHOLE TIME.

ADEQUATE, BUT JUST BARELY. GUTTERS WERE INSTALLED WITH DOWNSPOUTS CROOKED, TOOK THREE TRIPS TO GET IT CORRECTED. THEY DENTED SOME OF THEM UPON INSTALLATION. THE DESIGN IS SUCH THAT IN A HEAVY RAINSTORM WATER SHOOTS PAST THE GUTTERS, IN PLACES. CREW WAS VERY MESSY AND LEFT FOOD CARTONS AND PEELS ALL OVER THE SITE EACH TIME. DO NOT RECOMMEND.
