Highlights
- Praised for promptness — recent reviews describe on-time, detail-oriented work
- Owner-operated — the same person handles every job start to finish
- Repair dispute reported — one review describes an unresolved gutter repair complaint
- Very few reviews — only a handful of write-ups across all sources
Yellowtail Gutters is a one-man shop in Brighton, run by owner Mike Rowland, who says he's spent 25 years in the trade and still handles every job himself — cleaning, repair, and installation, with no crew stepping in between the estimate and the ladder. Its review history is short, but it isn't one-sided. Google shows a 4.5-star average across eight ratings, and a couple of smaller directories land in the same range — figures backed by a small run of reviews, most of them favorable and pointing to the same things: showing up on time and paying attention to the details of a job. That said, one of the four written Google reviews breaks the pattern, describing an unresolved dispute over a paid repair. With review volume this thin, a single account like that carries real weight. Before booking, it's worth asking directly what recourse exists if a repair doesn't hold — whether there's a warranty and how fast a callback gets scheduled. For routine gutter cleaning or a smaller repair job, Yellowtail is a reasonable call given the owner's direct, hands-on involvement — just get the comeback policy in writing first.

Michael did a fantastic job on my gutters! I had water gushing down the gutters when it rained. Michael added a vinyl strip under the drip edge of the roof and into the gutter which solved the problem. He made it look easy but it was a lot of work. I'm very happy with the quality of the work and attention to detail. Michael is knowledgeable about gutters and house repairs. He has years of experience. Highly recommend Yellowtail.

An expensive lesson. I asked Mike to come look at a sagging gutter that was leaking and he suggested sealing the corner connections. He assured me "You will be happy. There will be no more leaking." He sealed the gutter and I paid $450. Within two months the gutter was leaking again (after rain had picked up again). I asked him to please come back to fix it. This was in early December. He called me and said he would come out in the spring when it was safe to go up again. I messaged him in May asking him to come out and he said he would over the weekend. Then I asked in late June and he said he would come out when the heatwave was done. That he would come by to repitch the gutter free of charge. I asked him for a refund in late July and he said he would come out the the next day. He did, and claimed that he stopped the leak but that the gutter was overflowing in that spot so, in his view he had done his job. I clarified with Mike that I paid him $450 to stop the gutter from dripping, the fact that he fixed the wrong issue doesn't change that. He new the gutter was pitched down that area in the first instance, even referred to it as the "sagging gutter", but assured me his sealant fix would work. It didn't. Now, he said the deck was unsafe to work on so he can't repitch the gutter and that he had done his job and that there were no refunds. In the end I paid $450 for a frustratingly long process that left me with the same problem I started with.
