Got a bid from Affordable Rain Gutters back in Oct 2017 to replace gutters in backyard and side of garage. The man that gave me the bid, Kevin, said to expect a call to have the work scheduled. A receipt was given to me for the bid, but he didn't have me sign it (on the bottom of the receipt it says that an agreement to the bid is the same as a contract....ummmm....I don't think so...nice try). I called the company on 2 separate occasions to try to schedule the install (since they never called me) and left voice mails ( I was never able to talk to a live person). On the last voicemail I left, I said that if they didn't get back to me, then I'll need to go with another company. I never heard back from them.
We put our house on the market (we were going to wait until spring, but with my chronic health issues, we decided to sell sooner-needed a house with no stairs). Since there were a few things we needed to do to get the house ready to sell (and with the money involved to do them), we later decided to forego getting the gutters replaced, since that would've cost $482 ($600, with downspouts replaced). Our house sold in two days and we moved on Nov. 30th.
Second week of December, I received a call from an installer (JD) to inform me that he just tore out the gutters of our former home (even though the buyer of our home wasn't there at the time. I also never received a confirmation call or call that he was on his way) and that he didn't feel comfortable putting new gutters on since, once he removed the old ones, he discovered there was fascia board damage. I told him that we no longer lived there and explained that we did not have the actual work scheduled and that I tried to call the company a few times. I had to go through lot of red tape to contact our buyer about what happened. We were told by the title company that she worked with that it was now between her and ARG since we don't live there anymore and I was clearly not at fault. Since December, ARG still haven't resolved the gutter issue and so our buyer is still without her gutters. I was just informed today that I may be taken to small claims court by our buyer if the issue doesn't get resolved. I have since contacted the BBB and I have all phone records proving the attempted calls I made and that they didn't respond. ARG....pull up your big boy pants and OWN up! Fix what you did! TERRIBLE business! Buyer beware!! read more
