Smith Gutter

Smith Gutter is Brian Smith's Beverly gutter outfit, and the through-line across more than two dozen reviews on Google, Thumbtack, and Angi is the same word: fast. Quotes turn around in days, and several customers describe a new gutter or repair going in within a week of the first call — even once after storm damage. Thumbtack's profile puts him at 27 years in the trade with 53 hires logged and a background check on file. The bulk of the work is gutter and leaf-guard installation and repair — copper gutters, fascia replacement, diverters, leaf guards — with a handful of roof-repair and chimney-patching jobs mixed in. Reviewers keep citing the same specifics: before-and-after photos, crews showing up when they said they would, quotes that beat competing bids. On Google the company runs 4.5★ from 24 ratings; Thumbtack shows 4.9★ from 48. Not every account is glowing. In a 2024 review, one customer described a newly installed gutter coming loose and two months of unanswered warranty calls. A pair of one-star reviews from late 2025 call the company unreliable and dishonest without detailing what happened. And a Thumbtack reviewer from late 2024 who was otherwise happy noted Brian works with only one leaf-guard brand and wouldn't install an alternative. Worth knowing before calling: the state registry shows the company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration (HIC 211063) as expired. For a routine gutter job, replacement, or leaf-guard install, the track record here is deep and mostly consistent; for anything under warranty, it's worth getting the terms in writing given the one detailed complaint about a slow response.
