## The honest read

The Gutter Specialist is a gutter company whose stated service area is New Haven, Middlesex and New London. It holds a 5-star Google rating from 110 ratings and an A+ grade from the BBB.

A recent customer said they worked with Franklin, the owner, on the evaluation, estimate and scheduling, and that Luis and his associate completed the installation on time and explained the process as they went. A recent customer had half-round gutters installed and said Franklin planned where the downspouts would go before the work started. A recent customer who had gutters replaced along with gutter guards said the new system drained water off the roof more efficiently than the old one. A recent customer said the work included hooking the new gutter up to a water barrel, and that "the two Gutter Specialist guys" left everything neat and tidy.

A 2026 customer said the team completed a gutter install in one day in freezing weather. A 2026 customer found the company through an FB forum and said another company had quoted twice as much.

A 2025 customer said Luis and Jose arrived at 8:05 for an 8–10am window and installed a single-piece, 80-foot drain 40 feet up on a church roof within three hours. That 2025 customer said Franklin came on site to check on things and assist. A 2025 customer said the team found rotted soffits behind the old gutters while replacing them. A 2025 customer had gutters redone after hail damage and said they worked as they should in a good rain the night they left. A 2025 customer hired the company after another company's poorly done installation was causing damage to their home, and said the new installation was done properly. A 2025 customer who had a gutter cleaning said the team also blew the debris and extra leaves off their deck.

A 2025 customer said Franklin and his crew had cleaned, repaired and improved the gutter and downspout system at their old house for the past five years. A 2025 customer said Franklin had taken care of their gutters since 2017. A 2021 customer wrote that the company installed two long sections of gutters with downspouts and leaf guards at their home in Clinton, CT.

Connecticut lists its home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0643225, as active, held by The Gutter Specialist LLC.
