Eavestrough and downspout replacements and leaf guard additions
I was looking to have most of the gutters and downspouts at my house replaced so I did my research solely based on the highest rated service providers listed on the HomeStars website. I contacted companies and obtained few quotes including materials used, price, post installation warranty conditions and last but not least, a statement that they are registered with WSIB and that their workers have taken the working at heights training. Some of the companies prefer to assemble their quotation by simply using Google viewer but I must admit I am not comfortable with this approach as important details which can push the cost up or down can be missed. The quotation provided by AIMG was by far the most reasonable of all. Yuri, the owner came and surveyed what needed to be done and provided me with alternatives to my initial plan, all better. Also, the proposed 4 weeks timeline to install committed by Yuri seemed very reasonable to me given the construction season is now in full swing but I told him that if there is any window in his schedule, I prefer the work to be done sooner rather than later. He took note of my request and after a couple of days he called me back with a specific date, just few days after our discussion. His crew showed up at my place the day when the work happened promptly, organized the working space, did a tour with me to discuss once more the details of what they plan to do and even came up with an idea for one of the downspout coming from a short gutter and connecting into another one which not only proved to be very practical and effective but added aesthetical value to the whole setup. The crew of two worked quietly and without losing time until the work was complete, took me for a tour at the end, after they had cleaned up the area and checked for nails or other small leftovers thoroughly , and explained everything they did and asked me if I have anything else I wanted them to do or modify. They showed me one of the gutters I kept as it was in good condition and where only leaf guards needed to be added where they added twice more hangers inside as the previous owner only had them installed at large distances so after a winter, with the new leaf guards added the gutter it would have been possibly damaged (a pleasant surprise was that these extra hangers got installed free of charge). I was very impressed with the quality of the workmanship and the fact that they proved to know the installation code and practice very well : one example is the length of the downspout extensions which was beyond the minimum recommended limit. In all, Yuri’s crew did an A+ job therefore I am recommending them to anyone wanting a similar work done at their place.
