D.E. Carroll Construction is a Lowell general contractor that Matt and David Carroll say has been in business since 1975, formally incorporating in 2008 with six employees on the books at the Better Business Bureau. The company's range is broad on paper — new construction, additions, kitchen and bathroom remodeling, roofing, siding, carpentry — but what actually shows up in its most active reviews right now is narrower: gutter cleaning, and reviewers keep using the same word for it, thorough. In a July 2026 review, a customer praised Matt for being extremely responsive, quoting fast and staying in touch through scheduling; a June 2026 review described the gutters cleaned out completely, with no debris left behind and water flowing perfectly. Two more from late 2025 echo it — one noting the crew actually cleaned by hand rather than dumping debris on the lawn, another describing a scheduling hiccup from a crew injury that was handled with steady communication and finished on time. On Thumbtack, that pattern holds at scale: a 4.8★ average from 439 ratings, 93% five-star, Top Pro status since 2017, and a background check on file for Matthew Carroll. The company's history runs deeper than gutters, though. In a 2015 review on BuildZoom, a homeowner described D.E. Carroll completing a full $1,000,000 single-family renovation in 60 days, praising the consistency of having the same crew from start to finish rather than rotating subs — and BuildZoom's permit records show nine projects across Lowell, Chelmsford, Dracut, Malden, Melrose and Weston between 2007 and 2020. Worth knowing before calling: BuildZoom lists two Massachusetts home improvement contractor license numbers for the company, both currently inactive, with one described as having expired back in 2002; BuildZoom's own contractor score is low specifically because it can't verify an active license, not because of customer complaints. Its Better Business Bureau file carries an A+ grade despite not being BBB Accredited and shows no reviews or complaints on record there. If a project needs a licensed general contractor of record, it's worth asking Matt and David directly about current licensing before signing anything larger than a gutter job.

Matt was extremely responsive to our request for a gutter cleaning. He quickly gave us a quote and kept in regular touch about scheduling. He was here exactly as planned and did a very thorough job with our gutters. He explained what he had done and what we might do to look for trouble spots Matt is a very personal guy and a pleasure to work with. We would highly recommend him and will work with him again.

I recently hired DE Carrol Construction for gutter cleaning and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From start to finish, he was professional and thorough. The gutters were cleaned out completely - no debris left behind, water flowing perfectly. You could tell they take pride in doing the job right. What really impressed me was how well they cleaned up after themselves. Once the work was done, there was no mess left in my yard - no leaves, no gutter muck, nothing. They left the property looking just as tidy as when they arrived. I would absolutely recommend DE Carrol Construction to anyone looking for reliable, quality work. I'll definitely be calling them again for future projects!
They were quick to respond to my inquiry and agreed to perform the project for the same price as last year. After the job was scheduled, we needed to adjust due to inclement weather. The lead person sustained an injury elsewhere, that required another schedule adjustment. In both instances, I was kept informed and the project was completed on time and to my satisfaction. The work was professionally performed. I would highly recommend them for gutter cleaning. Details: Two-story building, 2,000-3,000 sq ft, just once.
Excellent job cleaning my gutters. Great communicator, responsive, easy to work with, and did a great job. They didn't just throw the gunk on the ground. They actually cleaned by hand. Excellent job will definitely use again and I highly recommend. Details: Two-story building, 4,000-5,000 sq ft, just once.
Matt and his team are excellent. We started with a complete gutter clean out and it left a good impression. Great communication and work. Would recommend and I am currently recommending to family for more work. Thanks Matt! Details: Two-story building, 1,000-2,000 sq ft, every 3-6 months. Gutter Cleaning and Maintenance.
