Gutter / Window Cleaning, Power Washing

Iouri is a very courteous man with immense knowledge in dealing with gutters and various forms of cleaning around the house. He is very cooperative and continues to remind us to contact him should we find any places unsatisfactory, which we haven't. Although he works alone and may take more time than anticipated (remember, it's his time also and doesn't charge extra), he works very hard and as efficiently as possible, never sloppy. My family is very grateful for his help as Iouri even took time to help us fix our canopy and installed a new sensor light we got but unable to install ourselves since the old one was broken some time ago (on top of the services for gutter / window cleaning and power washing). We would definitely seek out his services again and would recommend him to our friends and family. Thank you Iouri!

Gutter cleaning & repair

Yura is very friendly and helpful. He came to our place to give a free quote, we decided to hire him and he started the job immediately. Besides doing what he was hired to do, he also changed and extended our old/broken down pipes free of charge!

Thanks, Katherine for your kind words. That pipe was very badly assembled and that could lead to very bad basement leak. And all it took is 10 min to fix it. And I would rather leave it with better system, then walk away.

moss removal, gutter cleaning

Good job on gutters. Didn't clean the moss on the back side of the roof. Discovered after he'd been paid. Said "didn't think I cared because it's not visible". Asked to return to complete the job but failed to show.

We have some miscommunication happening. I believe, when I came to estimate the scope of work, you husband told us that he is not worried about pool house and back garage, because he does it himself. So, those 2 buildings never been included in the price I gave you. I didn't even look at them. After I cleaned the roof on the house, I decide to clean roof on those 2 building anyway, as a bonus, simply because I knew that your husband doesn't have the right tools. He is absolutely capable of doing it, but without right tools he wouldn't do very good job. I did spend several extra hours cleaning them, and I never even charge you for it. You know that I didn't ask a dime for cleaning a roof on those buildings and for the chains that I reinstalled, because they have been installed incorrectly, and those chains being that way for how many years? (I do know that you probably would be OK paying extra for it. I just looked at it as it being my mistake, missing moss on those buildings and and not naming the price for cleaning them before I started to work). With all that extra work that I did, I was very late to see another customer, and didn't have time to finish the back side of the garage. After you called me and asked to finish it I did promise you to come back. And I did, but later than anticipated. And you roof and gutters were in that condition for how many years? And all of the sudden, you decided that it couldn't wait for another couple of days? During the summer? With rains couple of months away? Anyway, now it is all done properly (and remember, for FREE). Sorry for the miscommunication.

Gutter repair and cleaning

Iouri was professional, polite and personable and very very helpful. Not only did he reattach and clean the gutters, he also helped to clean our storm gutters which was not part of the job he was originally contracted to do.

Gutter cleaning

MORE THAN ADEQUATE.

I used another gutter cleaning company (from HomeStars), but never really knew if they did a good job. Iouri of Adequate Solutions took pictures so I thought I'd try him.

EXCELLENT WORK. With the pictures, he showed me the section of gutter the other company missed. Also, I paid the other company for new gutter baskets and with Iouri's pictures, it showed they just put the new ones on top of the old ones. This unnecessarily plugged up the whole thing.

Iouri did the work in the morning and it cost $120. I gave him more because I appreciated him telling me what the competition did. The competition charged $185.

Thank you very much for your kind words. Yes, we try to be MORE than Adequate, as we feel, that there are many companies and service providers that disconnected from services they provide. Take your gutter basket installation, for example: Not a lot of people realize, that gutter is no different than a kitchen sink, it's there to manage water, and no one (of the people I know), would use double strainer in their sink and expect it to work properly and for extended periods of time. (Like a company that installed those gutter basket for you. even if they want you to have your gutters clean every month, it is still A MONTH. And i doubt that a perspective to clean your gutters 6-8 times a year is very appealing to you? The question that I ask myself every time when I am on a new house, is how can I make existing gutter system MORE EFFICIENT? And my knowledge and understanding of the system allows me to deliver just that. I do treat every property as MY OWN. And make it ADEQUATE to challenges presented on that property.

Gutter Cleaning; Roof Cleaning; Gutter System improvements;

We found Yura and Adequate Solutions from Homestars. We had Yura clean our gutters, as well as our roof. We appreciated that he was prompt to reply and worked with our busy schedule to give us an estimate very quickly. The work was subsequently done as soon as he was able to – and it was evident that he worked hard to leave our gutters clean inside and out.

Morever, we were happily surprised to receive emails with detailed before and after pictures of our gutters and roof the very next day. I think we would be hard-pressed to find this kind of service anywhere else (especially larger companies). It is very re-assuring and informational for a homeowner to get detailed pictures of areas (such as the roof) that we normally can’t see ourselves <some of these pictures are attached to the review>

Cleaning of the roof and gutters was done carefully and without pressure washers that can be known to damage roof tiles. We were very happy with Yura’s work that we also had him investigate some problem areas (a gutter connection point) and to make proactive improvements to our gutter system to prevent gutter staining in the future and to better direct water flow (builders often save costs by letting downpipes empty directly on the roof leading to accelerated erosion rather than adding additional runs to bring the water directly to the gutter). Again, all of this work was performed promptly and with email picture follow-ups which was awesome.

As busy working parents with kids – we appreciated Yura’s responsive communications by email, and that payments could be made electronically with the latest “no fuss” methods like e-transfer – as supported by the major banks. We will no doubt be using Yura regularly in the future!

Gutter Cleaning is the most important part of the property maintenance program. And unfortunately, 95% of gutters installed around Vancouver designed very poorly, so gutter cleaning alone wouldn't help much. 95% of the gutters have smallest opening possible to transfer water down into down pipe and then to the ground, ...
