Shannon Gutter Services

Shannon Gutter Services is a small, family-run gutter cleaning and installation outfit in Watertown — self-reported as owner-operated by Joe Morrissey since 1997, a personal, hands-on operation rather than a crew-based company. The written record is thin but consistently positive. In a 2024 Google review, a homeowner credited Joe himself for showing up quickly, giving a fair estimate, and doing thorough work cleaning the gutters and tending to the siding. Two 2018 reviews on Angi describe prompt, professional service on a seamless metal gutter repair and a separate gutters-and-downspouts cleaning. Angi shows a 5.0 rating from 2 reviews and Google shows 5★ from 5 ratings, though the sample on every platform is small. The Better Business Bureau lists the business as not accredited with no rating on file. What's worth knowing before calling: a blog post reports that a worker with the company died after falling 20 feet from a ladder in Waltham and suffering a fatal head injury. The record gives no date for when this happened and it comes from a single source, but it's a serious enough incident to raise directly — ask about current jobsite safety practices and insurance before booking. For routine gutter cleaning or a small repair in the Watertown area, the few reviews on file are genuinely positive and describe a hands-on owner, but the sparse track record and the reported fatality are both worth weighing before hiring for anything involving ladder work.
