These people get business by undercutting existing companies that do quality work. They do the job and the home owner thinks he got a bargain. However, when these companies make a mistake, good luck getting them back. I have seen legions of mistakes made in the eavestrough business.Most of these fly by night companies last only about 2 or 3 years before they go under or out of business.
Just today I went to look at a job for a potential customer who had issues with his eavestroughs. The original company who did the work was long gone and likely out of business. When I got there, I could not believe my eyes! I had never seen this mistake made before. Look at the 3 pictures below very carefully and then tell me what the mistake is! It is glaring and obvious!
Do you see it? Take a very close look! Where are the downpipes? There are none! On this side of the person's house, the water goes into the eavestrough and then just over flows and the landscape below is washing away! What you don't see in the picture is that below is some very expensive patterned concrete work that is beginning to be damaged by the water in the eavestrough over flowing!
It was a shoddy job done by amateurs! All home construction is buyer beware! A bargain is sometimes not a bargain! Once you pay the contractor for the work, that's it! Unless you want to take the matter to civil court and sue the company, which usually costs thousands in dollars not to mention an excessive amount of time involved. In this case, we could fix the above problems by replacing the eavestrough and put downpipe on for around $500 so trying to go through all the hassle of hiring a lawyer and going to court was just not worth it.

Hah, it’s definitely better to hire professionals! When it comes to home construction and installation, the professionals should be the ones to handle things. There’s nothing wrong with giving it a try, but these professionals know so much more on the subject and would be more reliable. The very best will also make sure to do a job so good that there won’t be a need to call them back for repairs any time soon.
