If you fill out their request an estimate you will immediately receive calls and texts from tons of other gutter companies! It has been non-stop!

Claims to be "Best Roofers in San Diego" when they are neither a roofing company nor in San Diego. They take your info and sell it to other companies who want your roofing job and pay "Powell and Sons" (they are really Ad Practitioners, LLC doing business as Consumersadvocate.org) for the info, but there's no telling who or how legit these other companies are. Please report them to https://www.ic3.gov/ and https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/

SCAM ALERT!
January 23, 2023

Seriously, how are they allowed to get away with this crap? It's just like all the other reviews have claimed, this is NOT A COMPANY! They source out your info to whoever so you don't know who will be contacting you. If I call a company, I expect to be dealing with that particular company and their employees and not someone I would otherwise not want to hire. We need to go back to using the good old Yellow Pages to find local businesses because this online crap doesn't work anymore...

This is a marketing site that sends your email, phone number and home address to local companies as well as sales people out of California for gutter guards. I have heard from 32 companies in 3 days, via texts, calls, and an inbox full of spam. Not one of them is Powell and Sons either. I don't believe that this is even an actual company. Do not give them your information.

Thanks

Assisted me with preventing a real yard calamity in the middle of winter. Previous owner of the house didn't winterize lines and I had no idea where the secondary water valve was. Thank you!

Scam Scam Scam!
November 29, 2022

What a scam! Requested quote...instantly received "unable to help" and all my information was sent out to multiple places. Still getting calls 6 months later for unrelated jobs. Their site states they can do what you're requesting...but they can't and they lie about it. Don't waste your time with this "legit sounding" company...they are not!

NO RESPONSE
November 1, 2022

I have submitted 4 requests for a quote and in the last one I asked them to let me know if they can't service. To be ghosted and completely ignored is not acceptable.

I thought I was contacting a local company. I submitted a Free Quote request and almost instantly I was bombarded by calls from companies that were not even local. About 12 calls in 10 minutes. 2 from the same company.

This company only sells your information to hundreds of other companies (some probably fake as well) who put you on automatic dial. Shame!

Fraud
October 13, 2022

Powell and Sons is a fake company. What ever kind of work you need, you will get calls from local companies with poor reputations. It is a false front website. Stay far away from this company. Asked for quote on very small stucco repair and got an immediate call from Dreamstyle trying to talk me into 100% restucco of house.

Powell and Sons doesn't exist. It's a web site that gathers your contact information and forwards it to Angi, Home Advisor, and other similar companies. What a waste.

Abuse
September 9, 2022

This site is stealing your information and honest request for service and selling it to Homeadvisor.

The site is misleading and should be shut down. Once you try to delete your information - the privacy form does not work. And does not allow you to delete your information. One Trust is the name of the software. I assume they are purposlfully not allowing you to send the delete request.

This is war!

Indicated that they did hot tub repair in my town, but I immediately started to receive unrelated spam from everything else. It appears as if this is merely a pass-through to HomeAdvisors whose reputation is horrifically bad. I was hoping to do business with a local contractor.

Requested a quote for bathroom remodeling. Brought up a list of other projects I might consider. Checked gutter cleaning. Submitted the quote form. Got a message they could not do the project but will pass it along to "partners ". Immediately got an email from Angie's list for gutter cleaning. Then 4 phone calls for gutter cleaning. These people are thieves as Angie's list charges a fee for the leads. Sending a complaint to state consumer protection. Bad enough they lie to me about being real remodelers but taking money from hard working contractors is unconsciousable.

I continue to get incorrect referral job leads from this website. They are sending me all kinds of random job leads for services that I don't offer like for example sprinkler systems. Angi (aka: Angie's List/Home Advisor) continues to charge me for incorrect job leads from Powell and Sons. I know that numerous job leads come from them because the customers tell me when I ask how they got forwarded to Angi.
