I’ve hired Allen on multiple occasions for work on my property. Most recently he cleaned my roof and gutters, pressure washed all my decks and walkways, cleaned all u outside windows and trimmed my large privacy hedge.

Allen is the most reliable service provider I’ve hired. He is timely, respectful, cleans up thoroughly and is very reasonably priced. Allen has a wide range of skills and the work that he completed for me was to the utmost quality. I have a massive hedge and it’s never looked so good. Allen was precise and doesn’t cut corners. He takes pride in work and goes the extra mile. I’d happily hire Allen again and have already recommended him to many people. Others he has done work for have given me the same positive feedback. If you want a good price for which quality and integrity, hire Allen!

Clear moss from 17 year old roof, clear gutters, and adjust some sagging gutters.

Allen came to our home in the time frame of his estimate, did all the work he contracted for in a very timely manner, cleaned up and left the job spotless. We have asked him to return annually for a tune-up.

Rebuild our fence Fix the damages to our roof due to tree falling Help with our siding issues Rebuild a part of our 4 poster bed

Allen has done such an incredible job in every one of our projects, he is our go to guy whenever we have something new that crops up

He is very creative, and takes time to do things right. He is able to customize pretty much anything and seems to have a lot of experience working on a variety of things

We had a blown away fence that he quoted a very competitive price, and we are extremely happy with the end result, that we have been calling him for everything since and he keeps up that great quality of work.

Quick but urgent Roof fix

Allen provided very professional service:
He came out within 24 hours and performed the work.
His price is very competitive and his workmanship exceptional.
He is courteous, listens well and possesses a lot of expertise.
Couldn't be happier.
Will now use Allen to clean entire roof and give it a 'face lift' to get a few more years out of my cedar shake roof.

Fixing a fence pole

This isn’t our first time hiring Burke Home and Garden, and it won’t be our last! My husband and i always have the best experience. Allen is knowledgeable, efficient, thorough, and he does quality work.

We hired Allen to install a new fence post because our fence was leaning. The finished product is amazing and we are so happy with the result! (We will be staining it to match the rest of the fence) No more leaning fence!

Honestly, if you have any needs from custom work, home projects, landscaping to pressure washing, Burke Home and Garden is a must hire. Thank you, Allen!

None

Power wash

Allen is not only very professional, but also very attentive. The result was beyond my expectation. Everyone saw it was highly impressed. Afterwards he patiently answered all my questions and was very honest and trustworthy. I will definitely recommend him to my friends in need.

Roof, Gutters and Downspouts cleanup

My apologies for the lateness of this review. Allen showed up just on time and immediately started his job even it was raining outside. He brushed off moss, cleaned the gutters, and cleaned up all the debris around the house. This job took him up to 4 hours in total. Allen was knowledgeable and answered all my questions. His work was way beyond my expectation, leaving no room for complains. I am grateful for his service and thinking about hiring him for my gardening work. I would recommend him to my friends and neighbors. Great job Allen!

None

Gardening, roof and gutter cleaning

Allen has been gardening at our place for almost 3 years now. He does a fantastic job every single time leaving no room for complaints. Last year he helped us to put top soil in our back yard and level the garden. He is pretty hardworking, reliable, friendly and pleasant individual. Love his work. Thank you very much Allen.

Pressure wash front sidewalk and driveway

My luck is running high today. I should go and buy a Lotto ticket! I came home from an errand and Allen was pressure washing my neighbor's driveway. I could tell he was doing a great job so I paid closer attention. After a while, I came out and asked if he'd be interested in doing mine. We struck a deal and he did a super job! That is why my luck is running high today. Allen is the kind of guy who we, as homeowners, need to know. Reading his website, I see he does a lot more than pressure washing. I will hang onto his card and definitely call him again. Thank you, Allen, for the job you did here today. It was a pleasure meeting you and I will recommend you to anyone I know who is looking for someone who is professional, hard working, friendly, and knowledgeable. I'll see you again!

Recaulking in our master shower as well as previously painting our downstairs 1/2 bathroom.

Allen is very polite and professional. He is very thorough with his work. Will definitely use him for other projects in the future.

None

Clearing roof and gutters

Allen not only arrives when he says he’s going to, gets the job done that he said he was going to do, and charges exactly what he quoted even if it takes longer due to rain etc., but he also displays a friendly, helpful attitude, answering questions and offering info so that you don’t regret asking. When I offered a job that he felt he couldn’t do, he was honest to tell me, unlike some other contractors I’ve regretted hiring. I’ve been grateful for his service three years running and would unquestionably hire him for other work he can do when I need it.

None

Assemble two dressers

Allen helped us assembled two dressers with 9 drawers in total. He completed the job fast and professional. We are very happy with the project and also the price.

None

I asked Allen to help remove the weeds from my front yard, pave the garden with mulches, trim a few cherry trees and bushes, also pave the sideway with more gravels, add fertilizer to the lawn, etc.

Allen is very hard working. He worked 9+ hours everyday for 4 days in total. And the result is beautiful! Allen is very professional in the whole process of engaging with customers, he listened to the customer problem, write down notes for himself to remember all details, provide accurate cost estimation, communicate and set the right estimation, punctual on time, etc.

Sweep leaves this fall. Tree/bush trimming last fall.

Enormous leaves in fall used to a huge headache to us, thanks to a few big trees in our backyard.

This year we hired Allen for the entire fall to take care of the leaves. Today is the first day, and Allen did a magnificent job. He worked for more than one hour and carefully cleaned leaves everywhere: lawn, under trees, inside bushes, etc. He collected all leaves and put into the organic container. Super clean. Right now it is definitely the cleanest moment ever in our yard! And the price is very reasonable!

Also in last fall, we hired Allen to do a whole trimming for all the trees and bushes. Again, Allen devoted significant efforts on the job in a professional and dedicated way. All trees/bushes were trimmed as expected. Allen cut all branches into small sticks and made them easier to be collected. The job was done in a so clean way. Again, reasonable price!

Hiring Allen is the best decision we can make for our yard work. We are very happy and definitely want to continue to work with him.

Highly recommended!

Nothing

clean roof/gutter, apply moss killer, fix leaked gutter, trim tree branches over roof

We contacted Allen based on a neighbor's recommendation. He gave a clear quote and came on time. Allen spent quite a busy afternoon (~5 hours) at our yards. He cleaned our roof/gutter, applied moss killer, repaired a leaked gutter joint in the second story and trimmed our neighbor’s overgrown and over-the-roof branches. Even it was rainy that day, he still showed great attention to details and got everything done perfectly. He also cleaned the debris and leaves around the house, even chopped the cut branches and put them all into our yard waste bin. In the end, we only have gratitude for his work and will definitely use his service again next time.

None

Wall painting/repairs etc.

Allen was very professional, patient, and friendly. He spent a lot of effort fixing many walls in my house. He paid great attention to the detail to make sure our walls are repaired and painted as new.

None

Roof cleaning + gutter cleaning

I found Allen through here and asked him to do a gutter/ roof cleaning since my gutter has been blocked. He estimated the price to be $200 and estimated to finish it in 1 to 2 hours. That day turned out to a raining day. He came on time and washed the roof with every detail. After the washing, he collected all the debris fall from the roof and gutter. What impressed us most is that he not only cleaned the debris, but also cleaned most leaves (there was a lot!) in our front and back yards, which would be half of a gardener's work. He finished everything after about 5 hours, when the day had become dark and it was still raining! After all, he helped me throw away some large woods that my car cannot hold and would dump them to trash collection place which will cost him some additional money and labor work to do so. We quite appreciate his work and attitude and gave him $280 finally.

None

Gutter guard installation, clean roof and gutter as well

Found Allen through here, and contacted him to setup a time for gutter guard installation. Initial estimate was 2-3 hours for $250.

He was a little late on the date of appointment but not too much. Because it was just after the wind storm, my gutter and roof were very dirty so he helped me clean up those first. Then he spent the rest of his time installing the gutter. He was very detailed and professional, and really took the time to make sure that the gutter guards were installed correctly.

Overall, it took him 4-5 hours to finish the job, and when I asked him how much, he asked for only $250. I thought that he deserved more so I gave him $300.

Repair deck railing, gutter clean, repair small holes on the roof plastic pipe

My dog has bitten the deck railing hardly, although it might be hard to see from the picture, literally half of the wood are gone...I tried to repair it first by using wooden filler to fill up the deep bitten marks, but it looks very ugly and it's very hard to do the work. Allen came in and he has all the professional tools, he did a very good job on fixing the railing as it almost looks like new!

He also climbed up to the roof, cleaned the gutter and fixed a small hole in pipe that was caused by birds digging.

All these jobs only took 2.5 hours and I would recommend him on other roof/wood related work.

installed the saferacks from costco

I hired Allen to repair/rebuild my deck from July 2017 to Aug, please see my another review. At the end of the deck project, I asked Allen whether he wants to work with me to install the saferacks from Costco. He agreed and has the same rate of $25 hourly.

In total, we spent about 4.5 hours (3.5 hour + 1 hour) to install two of 8' by 4' saferack. The service provider from Costco will charge $125 to install one, and $250 to install two of them.

08/07/2017, installed the 1st 8' by 4' saferacks from costco // slightly more than 3.5 hours, good learning experience for both of allen and me.
08/08/2017, Tuesday, installed the 2st saferacks (55 minues) // 3 hours

Note: Allen has the power tools, i provided the ladder.

Repaired (almost rebuilt) the rotten deck, painted for 3 coats

My deck is about 10x10, not including stairs. After 17 years, it became rotten and unsafe for kid to play around it. I quoted a few service providers, minimum is 2000+ to rebuild with wood material. If go with composite material, the price will be double at least.

I got Allen's contact from a colleague in the chatting group. Allen's daily work is to build customized furniture, so there is no problem for him to do a wood deck. His rate per Aug, 2017 is $25 hour, and power wash is a separated work item costing $100 alone. After power washing, we did the inspection together and found most wood piece must be replaced. The total price I put in this review only covers the labor cost. The material is about $200, paint is extra.

Here is the summary I sent to Allen after completion.

----1st week---
07/24/2017, Monday, did power wash on deck and fence // $100
07/25/2017, Tuesday, selected all materials, lumber and screws, from HomeDepot, bought to house, started to tear down the existing rotten frame // 3.5 hours
07/26/2017, Wednesday, deck surface is 75% done // 4 hours
07/27/2017, Thursday, deck surface 95% done, started the rail a little bit // slightly less than 4 hours

----2nd week---
07/31/2017, Monday, deck surface 97% done, the rail 50% // 4 hours
08/01/2017, Tuesday, completed all deck wood work // 4 hours
08/02/2017, Wednesday, painted 1st coat (wrong stain caused by my mistake, not Allen's) on deck // 3.5 hours
08/03/2017, Thursday, painted 2nd coat (right stain) on deck // 3.5 hours

---3nd week---
08/06/2017, Sunday, hauled away the old deck stuff and dumped to the dumps // slightly less than 2 hours
