Doug responded to my requests in a very acceptable time frame and moved quickly to complete the work that needed to be done. On July 11 his first job was to clean the gutters and take off the old gutter covers. He was very efficient and everything was cleaned up before he left. His second job was on August 19th to replace the gutter covers that were taken off. He and his son had the work done in a very timely matter. Great job again. Doug is a very nice person. He is professional, easy to talk with, and listens to what needs to be done.
Description of Work: Doug cleaned all our gutters and down spouts. He had to remove old gutter covers that were not keeping out pine needles, leaves, etc. He also installed new gutter covers.

Everything was great. I called Doug on a Monday, and all work was completed by Wednesday noon. In the middle of the job I had questions about some aspects of what he was doing, and so Doug held off until we talked and made sure that we were in agreement before proceeding. In the process of cleaning and replacing gutter guards he found other problems, which he brought to my attention and then fixed after we'd agreed on what to do. An overall excellent experience. I will definitely call him again.
Description of Work: Doug and his son cleaned gutters, most of which hadn't been cleaned out for several years. They also installed new screens on some gutters and replaced some old gutter guards with new screens.

I called for a gutter cleaning and talked to Doug. His son Corey went to the house and called me with the price. We have a single level home and I thought $85 was a bit pricey, but worth it so I didn't have to. Corey went back the same afternoon and cleaned the seeds out with a blower. I usually use an extension ladder and scoop them out by hand, moving the ladder around the house six feet at a time. Then I run water down all four drain pipes. It takes all day, so this was worth it. Corey did blow and sweep most of the seeds off the deck and driveway into the grass but they were all over the gravel beds and flower beds. That was a little disappointing. I wasn't home at the time or I would've said something to him. Overall, the gutters are clear, so that part is I'll give them one more try with the fall leaves, but I plan to be home next time!
Description of Work: Cleaned the maple seeds out of the gutters.

I called and talked to Doug. He stopped by our house and assessed the loose fascia on the roof edge. He provided us with an estimate the same day. Although we were having days of rain, Doug found a time to repair the fascia within 2 days. After measuring the fascia, Doug obtained an exact match to the loose aluminum fascia and repaired the area. He also cleaned the gutters on the upper roof as requested.
Description of Work: Doug and Cory repaired the fasia covering on the upper roof of our house. Although the house was only 8 years old the fasia was improperly installed by the original siding contractor. Doug replaced the aluminum facia covering with matching material correcting the original installation error. Doug and Cory also cleaned the roof gutters. We appreciate his quick attention to the problem. Thanks

Came out the next day to look at things. Gave me an estimate, fixed one downspout. Will be back to replace lower half of downspouts. I really enjoyed talking to Doug. His truck is stocked so that he can fix/replace some things on the spot. 2/7/2013 I found out that it was $85.00 for just reattaching the gutter which took about 15 minutes. I guess I should have asked if that amount included everything but it didn't. I spoke with Doug and he indicated he has an $85.00 minimum. I will be finishing the downspouts myself.
Description of Work: Fixed downspout. Will replace bottoms of missing drains. Make sure to find out what the estimate includes.

Called Doug based on Angie's List reviews (which were excellent). Needed my gutters cleaned and had waited pretty late to get them done. Doug came out that same day (had decent weather) which was really unexpected. He did a great job and I paid less than I would have expected. Apparently, he also does "Handy Man" work and I will be calling him soon for some of those things before I list my home. Thanks Doug!
Description of Work: Awesome Service!

it is always a pleasure to work with Doug Sommerfeld. Doug showed u on time with his truck and equipment. He checked in with us before he began his work to make sure we agreed on the work to be done. We have a high, steep roof (over two stories in some places) and live surrounded by deciduous trees. Doug brought ladders, leaf blowers to accomplish the gutter cleaning. Doug carefully cleaned up all the debris from the gutters. Doug then began work inside/outside the front door. He looked over the door, rehung the storm, put up weather stripping and alleviated a sticking at the bottom of the storm door. When he was done, we talked a bit and I paid the bill. We have worked with Doug several times: cleaning gutters and doing general handyman work for us outside. He is personable, reliable, and thorough.
Description of Work: Doug S0mmerfeld has worked with us on our house several times. During this visit, he came to clean our gutters before the winter and to weather strip/draft-proof our front door. Prior to the actual work, Dough came and looked over the house (even though he had been there before) and talk to us about specifics.

When I have called Doug for gutter cleaning, three years running, he has been prompt and courteous. This year, I could not be home when he was here. Thought I called late in the season, as seems to be my habit (or failing), he came as soon as the weather permitted and got the job done. In 2011, he also notice that a plastic vent cover on the roof was broken. He told me about that problem and was back to do the repair with all supplies necessary within a day. He is very kind, keeps a concerned eye out for other things that need to be done, and does good work quickly and responsibly. I highly recommend Doug.

Never got a call back.* * Got a call from Doug that was very respectful on January 2, 2013.
Description of Work: I called and left a detailed message with name and a return phone number. Due to illness, I did not call back when a return call was not received. I have still not heard from this business. From other reviews, I was expecting more professionalism.** **After this review was posted, I received a nice phone call from Doug. His explanation of why I was not contacted was helpful and I appreciate that he reached out to me. He was very considerate. He did say that they are a very busy service. I may give them a call again in the future. Thanks for the call, Doug!

Working with Doug went very well from the phone calls to his arriving on time, working with me and his cleaning up. He's patient and has great suggestions. My husband loves this birthday and holiday gift (and I do too) since Doug took care of so many tasks very competently and quickly that would have taken us most of a year to get to. We look forward to hiring him again. He does his work very well, thoroughly, and is able to do a wide range of tasks/projects/remodeling items that come with of home ownership.
Description of Work: Doug worked with us for 3 days on a wide range of projects from building a safer step in our garage, to putting up blinds & art work, and fixing many things around our home and shed. He also helped us organize our garage by installing hooks & tool racks. He was very patient when a part I had bought didn't work and needed to be taken out and replaced (more than once in the 3 days).

great. They did a good job!
Description of Work: Contacted Doug for gutter cleaning, he was quick to come out and give an estimate. Ours is a small group of condos with multi-level roof lines, some of them quite high. He had to rent an extra tall ladder in order to do the job, which accounts for the higher price. It was a big job, but he and his assistant had it done in one day! I didn't see any mess left behind. Also noted the areas that don't have gutter guards and made recommendations for having them placed in the future. Would happily use this service again.

Doug was in the neighborhood when he answered my call. He not only gave me an estimate based on a thorough examination of the gutters, but was able to do the work on the same day.. He included the gutters on the garage and even repaired a gutter (which I hadn't realized needed it). The work was done promptly and efficiently and the cost was reasonable. I will certainly request his services in future.

I called Doug in the morning for an estimate for gutter cleaning and he said he would come to the house that afternoon. When he arrived we walked around the house to gauge the work and he suggested I also trim a tree back from the roof to avoid damaging the shingles. He quoted a very reasonable price, that included the tree trimming, and he and a helper did the work on the spot. The work was thorough and professional and I would definitely use Doug again.

The gutters turned out to not be the problem with the water but the guards did need replacing. Doug was very professional and showed up quickly, when he said he would. The service was not cheap but the quality of the work and product seem to be high and worth it. Definitely would call him again.
