I am a full time working, savvy woman who spent $20k in home remodeling in the past year. My husband agreed that we need new gutters and trusted my project management and detail skills to get the quote and all the information since I recently project-managed (including finance details) the windows and bathroom remodels (not from CR Boger). My husband prefers limited involvement, and I prefer to be in charge.

When the guy showed up, he immediately wanted to know where my husband was, and made snarky remarks about him not caring about our home. He tried to tell me my husband was the breadwinner. When I explained that if we have to wait for my husband, we will never get our home repaired, he snorted and said, "Yep. You probably will never get your home repaired."

I then realized that if this company doesn't respect women from the beginning of the project, how is this going to work in the middle and end? I felt disrespected enough that I had to ask him to leave my property before finishing the estimate. I've never done that before.

I immediately used one of CR Boger's competitors, Washington Energy Service, to get new gutters. I used WSE for my windows too! Highly recommend. My husband was never involved, and everything was perfect.
