Up The Gutter

Ian shows up in his own reviews as much as his company does — reviewers describe him scoping a leaking roof the morning after a snowstorm, or standing on site while his crew installs leaf guards. Up The Gutter works out of Marshfield, MA, handling gutters and roofing across the South Shore, and it has 135 Google ratings behind it, every one five stars, an active Massachusetts home-improvement-contractor license, and a Better Business Bureau A+. The last six months alone brought roughly thirty reviews and not one of them negative. The jobs described are specific: a full roof replacement called in on a Monday night during, in one customer's words, the worst snowstorm in four years, with the new roof finished within days and photos sent along the way; a flat roof section that had lifted, resealed with the crew keeping the site clean; shingles, a downspout, fascia board, and rotted wood all replaced in one visit; a new metal roof; and, most often, the routine work — gutter cleaning, gutter and fascia replacement, leaf-guard installs, sometimes with an itemized quote handed over on the spot alongside photos of the work. Several reviewers separately mention Ian or his crew clearing snow and ice off roofs and gutters the morning after a storm, which lines up with a business built as much around fast, weather-driven calls as scheduled projects. That pattern isn't new. Reviews on Google and Angi going back a couple of years tell a similar story — prompt scheduling, a small named crew (Ian, Rod, and Sam turn up repeatedly), and cleanup after the work wraps. Nothing in this history flags a complaint or a low rating to weigh against it — not on the BBB, not across the Google and Angi reviews — so there's no specific issue to raise beyond the usual homeowner step: get the itemized quote in writing and confirm whether the job is roofing, gutters, or drainage, since Up The Gutter works across all three and reviewers don't always specify which. For South Shore homeowners dealing with a gutter problem, a storm-driven leak, or wanting the roof-to-foundation water system looked at together, this is a contractor with a genuinely deep and corroborated track record — not a handful of five-star reviews on a brand-new listing.
