Derrick and his guys did some great work for me in order to get my gutters ready for the upcoming winter. Derrick's very clear and thorough in his explanation of his work and you can tell he doesn't cut corners and has a ton of experience. My wife and I will have him come back next year to place gutters on our garage and at some point may have him take a look at replacing our siding also. I'd recommend him without hesitation. read more

Derrick and his team did an awesome job replacing fascia, soffit, and gutters on my old and aging bungalow garage. Despite the structure being way out of square and unlevel, they not only replaced the failing and rotting components, but made it look really good as well. I also had them cut and reroute a downspout on the main house that required some creative thinking and it performed as expected during recent rain. Overall very happy with the service received and would readily use the Pulse team again. read more

Highly recommend Derrick and his team. Extremely professional, honest, prompt, and completed the work on my home with utmost craftsmanship. Derick did not try to oversell me. He explained the thought process behind his recommendation and listened to my concerns. Thank you Derrick! read more

Very happy with this company. Quick and courteous communication. The inspection was extremely honest and thorough, which I appreciated. They provided a comprehensive appraisal of all parts of the gutter system to ensure everything is functioning as it should be. We had a new gutter and a couple of new downspouts installed the very next day. I appreciated the attention to detail and clear concern for customer satisfaction. They were patient and not patronizing in addressing my questions and concerns. Thank you! read more

Derrick the owner is really easy to work with, he is very reasonable and personable, and he and his team do great quality work. I had them replace my gutters, soffit, and fascia, it looks amazing. I would highly recommend Pulse Exterior. read more

Derrick and his team were awesome! Fast, great quality work at a super reasonable price.

An appointment was set for November 01, 2023, 1pm with Derrick for an estimate, replacement of gutters and downspouts, adding leaf guard. Approx. 32 minutes, no show, no call, his response was, he forgot. Advised on a job, approx. 2 hours before he's done then will head to my home. Given rush hour, along with the location he mentioned, I decided okay. Then the realty of the adage, " start well, finish well," crept in my conscious. This company is not for me, feel there was selective reasoning for Derrick's forgetfulness other than 'his new baby that was taking a toll on him,' as he claimed. read more

I called for a gutter estimate. I had other estimates that were $2k more expensive. Derrick talked me out of leaf protectors (which would have made him money) and explained why they were a bad idea for hanging gutters. He rerouted my gutters to resolve a flooding issue. Very honest and professional. The gutters look amazing. read more

We were getting water inside our house and couldn't figure out where it was from. After talking to (or getting no response from) multiple vendors, we were saved when we finally got referred to Derrick and his team. Derrick was easy to get a hold of, always responsive, and very clear and patient with our questions. His team quickly and efficiently did exactly the work that needed to get done at a fair price. It's rare to find someone in this business that's easy to talk to and easy to work with. I'd highly recommend working with Pulse. read more

Prices are way too high. I got the feeling Derrick was trying to get one over on me. He didn't think I would do my homework and compare his prices to other companies that quoted the same project. He refused to provide specs and details on the materials he quoted. His prices were twice as much as the other 3 companies I had come out. One price was 3x more. I would recommend using a different company. One that doesn't try to rip you off. read more

Derrick was great to work with while shopping for new gutters. Very prompt on giving an initial quote when we reached out. Derrick gave great recommendation on gutter options and layout. Install was quick and easy. Thank you Derrick and team! read more

After a successful small siding repair, we again went with Derrick and his team for a much bigger project: completely replacing all the siding, soffit, fascia, and gutters on our second floor addition, plus a last-minute request to build some updated awnings on our front and side doors. Derrick walked us through the entire project, helped us select the right color combinations and steered us away from colors that wouldn't work with our existing brickwork, and kept us up-to-date throughout the project with timelines, design updates, really everything we needed. The project was on time and on budget, and his team did a great job cleaning up and resolving a minor issue that came up during the work. We can't help but admire his and "the boys" handiwork every time we step outside. It wasn't the cheapest project, but I think we more than got what we paid for. read more

Derrick and the crew at Pulse Exterior did an excellent job replacing the gutters on our two-flat. I found Derrick to be extremely knowledgeable. I contacted 6 gutter companies, 3 never responded or showed up at the scheduled time, 2 were responsive but it just seemed like a high priced sales pitch without the knowledge I needed. Then I found Derrick. He was very responsive and when he looked at the job he knew in accurate deal what exactly needed to be done. It was clear he actually physically did gutter work himself. Also Derrick gave me a realistic price on the job. Top notch job from start to finish. read more

From the start, Derrick's communication with us and detailed explanation of the work to be done was outstanding. This is so rare. His upbeat, pleasant manner shows how much he enjoys his work. He is easy to talk to, hardworking and meticulous. Derrick and his team did a terrific job on our garage fascia, soffits, gutters and downspouts. The price was reasonable, they completed the work on time and did a beautiful job. We couldn't be happier. read more

Highly, highly, highly recommend! Derrick and his team, redesigned our gutter system and installed all new gutters with gutter guards. They give a 5 year warranty on labor which is very rare! The materials they use are also top quality with a very long-term warranty (25 years I think it was). We just moved in to a newly renovated house in March. The builder put all of our gutters up incorrectly and also used all the wrong materials- even down to the screws! They were installed less than a year ago and we were already having leaks and other issues with them. Derrick is very clearly an expert in the field; he took the time to explain their process and why it's the correct way. He showed me all the incorrect and lazy things the previous installer did, explained why it was wrong, and told me all the things they do differently (and better). Derrick even advised me on some other exterior issues we've been having! He is knowledgeable in all things exterior- not just gutters. He gives great referrals for other specific jobs as well! read more

Our condo building used Pulse to install a heating coil on our roof, brand new siding, and new windows in our own unit. Our experiences with all of these projects was uniformly excellent. Derrick and his team are extremely professional, courteous, and diligent. Derrick is also very responsive, easy to deal with, and forthright in a way that only builds trust. Simply put, we truly enjoyed working with Pulse on all of our home projects and give them our highest recommendation - we would gladly use them again in the future. read more

FYI for anyone else wondering in 2021: "We are not cleaning gutters this year." Would like to give an N/A rating but forces one, sorry. An FYI to his response below: the 7 word response above was all I got when I inquired. read more

The entire experience with Pulse Exterior was great from start to finish. There was no pushy salesmanship like I got from some other companies and no pricing gimmicks. He got straight to the point about what I wanted and needed, and quoted a fair price. The team did a great job with the install and was careful to cleanup all the debris from the area. Derrick did some additional fixes as well when he came by to inspect. I would definitely use them again. read more

Since the installation of new gutters on our garage and gutter guards on the house and garage, we had a tree removed. The removal went awry, and the gutter and guard of one of the sides on the garage was damaged. Derek came out, assessed the damage, and immediately rectified the situation. He is professional, kind, and follows through on his promises. I have recommended Pulse to many of my neighbors because I have had such a terrific experience with them. read more

Great experience with Derrick and his guys. I'm sure they considered ours a small job, but they didn't hesitate with the quote or anything. Fantastic work! read more

We had our old wooden siding covered with vinyl and aluminum installed over the soffets and fascia. Derrick had the best solution and price of the quotes I got. The work was done quickly and looks great. He was very easy to reach and respond to questions. One thing to know (that I didn't), the installers work on Saturday. I was sitting in my pajamas when I heard the ladders go up. It's perfectly fine that they work when they can, especially with the weather we've been having, but a heads up would have been nice. read more

645 am - walk into garage and observe pools of water. 646 am - walk outside and see gutter brackets have broken loose and rain is pouring into garage. 730 am - search Yelp and see Pulse listed at #1. 745 am - call Pulse and leave a message. 845 am - Derrick returns call and says he will stop by at 10am. 1007 am - Derrick is at the house and says he can repair the gutter. 1045 am - Derrick finishes. I wish all home repair issues could be resolved as quickly and affordably as this was. Pulse - please consider expanding your services to other areas of the home. I would happily use your services. read more

I was shopping around for quotes for a while before finding Derrick with Pulse Exterior. From the time I started communicating with Derrick I knew he was someone I could easily work with. I received a very very reasonable price for fascia repairs and the workmanship was top quality and impressive. Derrick provided a sketch, detailed explanation for the job, and helped me understand my options moving forward for other projects I asked about. I would highly recommend Pulse Exterior, and plan to contact Derrick for quotes on future projects. Very happy I made this choice. read more

Derrick and his team did great work. He took a bunch of photos during the estimating process and again after the work was complete to show the improvements made, and explained it all in excellent detail. The worked quickly and cleaned everything up nicely when they were done. read more

They gave me a great price on putting gutters on the garage, did it when they said they would, and charged exactly what the estimate was. That's great. Additionally, when part of our fascia pulled away allowing a bird to fly into the roof, he came the same day and closed it up for a very reasonable price. Knowledgable, responsive, and reasonably priced. A good choice. read more

Great experience working with Derrick. After calling several companies to have new gutters installed on my multifamily building, I got everything from no answer to 'we don't work in the winter' to lowball estimates that I knew I'd end up paying twice for. Then I found Derrick via Google. He answered his phone, showed up early the next morning to inspect the area, and sent an estimate the same day. Because we've had warmer weather, I was able to schedule the work in February and the installation was the same experience: he showed up, worked efficiently and thoroughly, and sent the invoice promptly. I liked that he used a drone to take pictures vs other guys who needed me to let them in to gain access to the roof. I also appreciated his honesty about the quality of the new roof install from the person I bought the house from and what would be necessary to correct the errors. All in all it was a positive experience and I'd definitely hire him again. read more

Thanks Derrick, your team did a great job installing seamless gutters on my house and garage. MUCH better installation than the ones we replaced. read more

We reached out to Pulse on a Monday and they were at our house installing gutters by Friday the same week! Derek's communication was excellent and his team was friendly and quick. Our gutters look fantastic and most importantly are working as intended. We'll definitely use Pulse in the future! read more

We worked with Derrick and his team to replace our siding. From the beginning, Derrick was extremely responsive, friendly, punctual and thorough. His team was very professional throughout the project, very considerate and always cleaned up each day after their work. The whole team's attention to detail was impressive. I consider us to have very high expectations and Derrick easily exceeded that. I would highly highly recommend Derrick and his team for any of your exterior projects. We wish we found Pulse Exterior sooner. read more

If you're on the fence - choose Pulse Exterior! Derrick is an expert communicator. I think he works 24hrs a day, it seems. Everyone on his team was professional and experts with their work! Although a lot of the reviews pertain to gutter and downspout jobs, we hired Pulse to epoxy and reseal a condo balcony. As well as rebuild a rotted balcony ceiling below. The jobs were done quickly and efficiently - they both look fabulous! Any outdoor work going forward, our association will be hiring Derrick and Pulse. You should too. read more

Derrick is the real deal! He was efficient and fixed our problem in a very timely manner. He was able to fit us into his schedule after understanding our issue and knowing it was a safety concern for us and our neighbors. I wouldn't hesitate to use Pulse Exterior again if we have another siding issue in the future. Thank you so much Derrick! read more

I had squirrels in my attic and to make a long story short, the company that initially installed my gutters did not do it correctly. Because the flashing was not correct, the wood behind was severely rotting and rodents were able to chew their way into my attic. Free of charge! Derrick and his team came out and did a wonderful job. They were not only on time but they also came in under budget. When he first game me the quote, he said that would be worse case scenario. Low and behold, he stayed true to his word and I wound up paying less. Derrick and his team are true professionals and do quality work. Not to mention the price is right. I would highly recommend them for any gutter/soffit/fascia repairs that you need. I am extremely happy with the job they did on my Chicago bungalow. Thanks Derrick!!! read more

We recently had our entire front porch rebuilt by Pulse Exterior. They did an excellent job and we highly recommend them for any exterior projects. Derrick was very friendly, knowledgeable, and very responsive if we had any questions. He walked us through the whole process and gave us a lot of ideas and options. Their pricing was reasonable compare to other quotes we got. His carpenters, Luke and Eric were very meticulous and very detailed in their work. They did an amazing job, we got so many compliments on our porch from neighbors. We will definitely hire them again for future projects. Thanks Pulse Exterior!! read more

Needed to replace gutters that were maybe 40+ years old. Many wouldn't come even come out, and the ones that did were helpful but not nearly as knowledgeable as Derrick. After talking with him during the estimate you almost feel like you could do the job yourself, it's an absolute pleasure to pick his brain and be educated about all these fascinating ways your house stays fit and in good condition. Even when they accidentally brought the wrong color aluminum to my house, Derrick used Uber to bring the right color out, no hesitation. Whatever it takes to get the job done. I felt awful ask the workers to stop, but everybody at Pulse made sure to assure me that they would fix their mistake and figure it out. They had it done in a matter of hours. Derrick was always available and quick to text, walking me through every step of the process. He texted me every few hours if he wasn't there in person, and I wouldn't hesitate to ask him for help again. I hope everybody reading this gives these guys a chance, they'll make sure you're set up. read more

Derrick got my project done ahead of schedule and done professionally. He left my rooftop project cleaner than it was when he started and seriously upgraded my roof. I will be using his services again! read more

Gutters needed replacing. The guys from Pulse Exterior came out gave me a nice estimate which included leaf guards and of all the estimates this was the best since it included leaf guards. They sent pictures of the progress and even helped my neighbor out by installing a down spout for her before going to their next job. I've already recommended them to several people already hope they call you guys, but thanks for a job well done my gutters look much better now read more

04/20/2022 - Derrick finished our gutter replacement job yesterday. We lost the gutters on the south side of our little bungalow in the heavy snow last winter. His crew finished quickly and the job looks great. He also placed a rain barrel diverter on a downspout. It was smooth sailing - received estimate, signed contract, completed work, and done. read more

I needed to replace some siding on my detached garage, and contacted Pulse Exterior for an estimate. Derrick got back to me promptly, and arranged to come and evaluate the work. In addition to the siding, I also needed new soffit/fascia and gutters installed on a portion of the garage. Derrick gave me a reasonable estimate based on the work & materials. The work was scheduled and completed in a very professional and reliable manner. Derrick was able to exactly match the existing siding, and the gutters and soffit/fascia were installed with high quality. Everything went very well, and the end result on the garage is better than it ever was! I'm very happy with the outcome, and would definitely recommend Pulse Exterior for work of this type. read more

I contacted Derrick at Pulse to fix our copper gutters and help with some exterior carpentry and painting. First, Derrick during the estimate brought his drone to take a look at all the gutters so he could be as accurate as possible with his estimate. I was thankful for this since the other companies that bid on the job didn't and I was worried once they got an actual look the price of the job would sky rocket! His pricing is competitive and I would argue well worth every penny given both him and his painter went above and beyond! The work was phenomenal! I would recommend Pulse for any exterior job that you may have! I will be reaching out to them next spring to do some more work for us if that says anything! read more
