Cobalt Roofing & Construction

I'm still waiting for him to fix something that he said he would 4 years ago and he hasn't. We gave up.

David did a great job getting the insurance co to pony up the money to get the job done properly. His crew did a great job and cleaned up well. He paid attention to small details and made us very happy.

It was a nightmare and they refunded our money. They showed up outside my house and said, "Oh, we're supposed to be here to do it again," about two weeks ago. I said, "No. You know the money was refunded. Go away." They were almost intimidating. Even the lady that worked for them was arrested for embezzling from the company. We just didn't want to deal with them anymore. They did not paint my house. They were not allowed to. It was insane. I've never had that kind of an issue. What stood out was the total incompetence from the company. They were calling and kept putting it off and putting it off and putting it off. It was just horrible. I've never dealt with people like that. After all that it was just like, "Okay. I want my money back because I don't even want these people around my house." And then, for him to show up a couple of weeks ago was really creepy.

Do not pre-pay with this company. Evidently, it was poorly priced.. Everyone of his employees came out said "no, can't do it for that price", but I had already paid for the job through Angie's List. When the representative first came out, he quoted all this stuff he could do, but I only wanted what I had paid for. It almost took me throwing a fit to get them to do the job quoted & paid for. I still have uneven places that the worker did not smooth out. Also, I was constantly being told he would be out at a certain time and then the worker who was supposed to be a supervisor would not show up. NEVER PREPAY WITH COBOLT CONSTRUCTION.

It took two days and the workers were on time and completed the job. Looks great!!

My effort was handyman work but I was left to feel an afterthought. Work wasn't bad but took several days of minutes at a time (not the usual mud drying time although it was offered as an excuse) and incurred more cost than the "deal" of a few hours.

They were part of it that didn't go too well, but overall, the service was good and it had a positive outcome.

I cannot express how easy and wonderful our experience was with Cobalt Roofing and David. Our roof had been damaged during a storm in October 2014. He was present for the insurance inspection and made sure that everything was documented. He also handled the insurance end regarding the cost and making sure we were getting what we needed. I have never actually use my homeowners insurance, so I was unsure of what to expect. David made the process so simple. He was overly fair priced and gave us multiple upgrades and provided additional services at no cost. He did not require any upfront payment. He was exceptionally professional. I cannot say enough good things about our experience. The process (with homeowners insurance) takes time, but David was on the job immediately after the insurance approved everything. The men who did the work were efficient, considerate, and hardworking. The roof looks amazing and we are very pleased with the results. As for the payment process, we did not pay him until after our insurance reimbursement was given to us. He did not pressure or push about anything financial and understood the time frame of using homeowners insurance claims. I was very grateful for how respectful and understanding he was. Honestly, it was so simple and easy on my end. I kept thinking it was too good to be true, but it was good. I would highly recommend using Cobalt.

We had a minor leak in my bedroom closet. He went into the attic and could not see where the leak was coming from. He looked for the leak from the roof as well and he let me know that my roof should have about 7 years left in it. He was on time and polite but only at my home for about 15 minutes.

Everything did work out well with the deal. Scheduling went well and he was here for about an hour. They did a good job. We have been pleased with the results.

Found extensive hail damage and recommended contacting home insurer to file a claim.

It was not terribly good. They came and saw the job. They said that they couldn’t do it and they never did do it. I paid the money and never got anything out of it. We had water damage in the ceiling of our rec room and the ceiling was coming down. He said that it was a much bigger job than he thought it would be and that it would cost more money. I asked him to give me a call with the estimate but he never called me back. I didn’t call them back. There was no additional charge. He did come on time. He didn’t do anything but just took the money and left. The price for what he did was way high. He never gave an estimate of what it would cost.

My roof had a leak that dripped through the walls of my stairwell to my first floor. I was expecting to pay thousands for a roof replacement. When the Cobalt guy investigated, he said he could just seal the leak for about $75. I was elated! The repair was awesome. He said the repair would sometime next week. I didn't even know the repair had been done until I received a text letting me know they were finished. It would be so great if we could trust everyone to do the job quickly and easily, like the Cobalt guys.

Poorly, did a general inspection. Not like the "special " described. Cost should have been about $20.00.

The price was really excellent and, according to the research I did, they used top quality shingles. The roofing job went very well. The crew arrived early, worked hard and stayed very late. They definitely knew what they were doing. There were some communication issues but overall it caused no problems. The finished roof looks fantastic. The cleanup after the job was good. I have found some nails but I guess it is impossible, even dragging around magnets, to retrieve the all My only gripe is I never received an official "paid in full invoice" for my records. I have repeatedly asked for something sign/stamped but to no avail. The sent me a "warranty" but I really need a paid in full invoice for my records. I give them an A- for this reason alone.

I got a deal that was very deceptively written. When I called, I could tell by talking to the guy that this was nothing more than a fish hook to hook you in and then try to get you to spend more money and it was not a good deal at all. The deal was for building and remodeling plans for $180.00 and the way it was written it sounded that they would do a set of drawing for your home or a set of drawings for remodeling. When I called the guy he said it was for one or two rooms but that is not what is stated on the ad. He got a little bit abusive and I said that there was no way in the word I would do a business relationship with him. He did not seem he was someone I would want to work with.

He told me that I didn't need it painted just washed. Advised me to get a refund.

David Francis showed up on time in his bright Cobalt blue truck, pulled out his telescoping ladder and walked about the roof. He inspected the roof all over, caulked a few spots, and flattened a vent boot corner that had curled up in a recent storm. He came inside to look at the water stain, and explained that it was probably from a torrent of water going down the roof valley a couple of feet away with some small amount driven under the shingles by the wind. (This makes sense to me because the stain appeared after a harsh storm with unusual easterly winds on Oct 10-11, while no further water damage appeared after major storms the following week with westerly winds.) He was happy to explain what he was looking for in terms of roof condition and construction methods, and what makes for a good roofing job. He would have recommended painters to deal with the water stain had I asked him. I was happy with his prompt response in scheduling the inspection, and his punctuality and professionalism. I didn't rate the price because it was an Angie's List Big Deal, nor the quality because the repairs were so minor. It was well worth the $49 for peace of mind.

We had a bad experience with the first technician who didn't fix the problem, and who we found out later (after we submitted our first review) was fired. We submitted a poor review on Angie's List, since the technician wouldn't get back to us and the problem had not been fixed. The owner was very eager to remedy the situation, and showed up quickly to try to fix the problem. We then wanted to wait until the next time it rained to see if the problem had been fixed. However, the owner was in such a hurry for us to change our review, that he basically started harassing us, not wanting to wait until it rained so we could see if the problem had been resolved. In the space of a few days of our initial poor review, he called and messaged us multiple times, and even showed up at our home without an appointment to try to convince us to just pour water on the roof to see if it was fixed, and then change our review. In my opinion this pestering us to change our review was very unprofessional, especially since all we wanted to do was wait for it to rain so the roof could be tested in a realistic scenario. I am submitting this review prior to it raining and seeing if the fix worked, so that I can be done with this and stop getting calls and messages asking me to change the review. I hope that what he did fixed the roof, but if it didn't, I will be looking elsewhere for the next repair. This probably has no effect on the work, and it may just be a pet peeve of mine, but the messages that we received through Angie's List from this provider were riddled with grammar and spelling mistakes, adding to the appearance of not being professional. Had I received such an unprofessional message from them prior to any work being done, I would not have employed their services.

Cobalt roofing did a great job. Even came on the weekend to fix the roof.

The provider was unable to provide the service due to scheduling issues

David came out to review the work done, and after his consult, I decided not to have the work done. I had cracks in my concrete driveway, and he advised me that because of the water flow on the sides of my driveway, he did advise repairs, and it wasn't prudent to redo the entire driveway. I appreciate his honesty and professionalism and would not hesitate to contact him again for work.

I needed repairs to a skylight from squirrel damage, and shingles replaced and a section of gutters repaired from a large tree branch hitting roof. Found Colbalt Roofing on Angie's List and called to get estimate. Set a time to meet David Francis (Cobalt) at my home to discuss repairs. As soon as David got on the roof he mentioned it looked as though the roof had hail damage. I really didn't pay that much attention to his comment as the roof had been replaced within the last 8-10 years and it looked fine to me other than the damaged area from the tree branch and the skylight. He took notes and said he would work up an estimate and get back with me within 24 hours. The next day he sent me a reasonable estimate $375.00 to repair the skylight, repair damaged section of gutter, and replace small section of wood on roof and put down new shingles. We scheduled a time for the repair. He again mentioned that roof looked like it had hail damage and recommended I consider calling my Insurance Company. Although I had doubts I called them. They asked that I hold off on the repairs until they send a claim adjustor. I notified David and he said no problem and stated he would meet the adjustors when they arrived if needed. The insurance claim adjustor came and confirmed there was severe hail and wind damage to the roof. He demonstrated to me on section in the roof where there were lines in the shingles and he grabbed and flipped them up. He also noticed hail damage to the gutters not caused by the tree branch. There were numerous dents in the gutters and downspouts and numerous scratches and dents in the other four skylights that I thought was just normal wear and tear. Because of the extensive damage on the roof the adjustor asked to look at the inside of the house where he found minor damage and water spots on the ceiling in three rooms. Some needed minor repair to the drywall and repainting. All the repair was covered under my policy other than the damage caused by the squirrel, minus the deductible. David at Cobalt Roofing provided an estimate for repairs with like materials (architectural shingles) within the insurance claim estimate. He also offered the opportunity to upgrade the quality of the roof shingles to a shingle called Presidential Shake because of a surplus he had from a previous job that matched the color of our house. Because of the surplus and with the deep discount I was able to obtain the higher quality shingles at the same cost of the architectural shingles. The roofing crew was very professional and did an excellent job. It did take a little longer than anticipated because of bad weather. Every evening the crew did a thorough cleanup before departing. After the roof was completed the painting crew came in and made repairs to the drywall, painted and cleaned up in one day. My wife and I are extremely pleased with the quality of the work performed. We now have the best looking roof in the neighborhood.

On September 8,2014 at 7:20 pm there was no sign from anyone from this company in sight. When I tried to call Mr. Davis it went straight to voice mail.

Technician was prompt, courteous, and helpful. Informed us that the roof was in good shape, though showing signs of age (it's 15 years old), and that it could probably go another couple of years. Also gave us a lot of good information about alternatives when it is time for replacement.
