Cobalt Roofing & Construction

The roof work was repaired and replaced on the same day.  The interior repair and restoration work was excellent and I would highly recommend Cobalt for any home repair needs.   My experience and outcome was outstanding.

We would hire Cobalt Roofing again, in fact, we have asked him to do some additional work on a window that needs boards replaced and our gutters, soffits, and facer boards.

Cobalt Construction owner, David Francis, observed the insurance adjuster as he examined our roof and then afterwards he met with me and my wife personally to discuss re-roofing our house.   He had samples of roofing shingles and discussed various materials and the pros and cons of each.  We decided to upgrade to architectural shingles and ridge vents v.s. two small powered vents.  We also decided that reroofing the detached garage was prudent even though there was no storm damage to it.  Roofing materials were delivered to our driveway before the job was started.  Although Mr. Francis said it would be a one day job, we decided to delay start of the job so that there would be two full days of good weather.  This was a wise choice on our part as the job did in fact take two days.  The first day began with roofing crews arriving about 8:30 am.  By the end of the first day, the minor roof repairs had been done, ridge vents were in place, the detached garage was completed and the main roof was about 70% complete.  The second day began with a smaller work crew but enough to finish well before the end of the day.  Additional shingles were delivered about mid to late morning.  During the job, Mr. Francis was present at the beginning of the job and again on the morning of the second day.  At the end of the second day, Mr. Francis stopped by and inspected the final work.  The only thing he had to do was some minor cleaning of the vinyl siding on the dormers.  He presented us with the final invoice and we paid the full amount by check.  One question I had before paying Mr. Francis was whether or not he could accept credit card for payment.  Had he been setup for credit card payment we could have gotten the benefit of airline miles on our credit card for the full cost of the re-roofing project.

Performed everything as expected.  Owner and crew very personable, respectful, and competent.  Would reccomend them to anyone.

They did what they said would and when they said the would.

I got a new roof installed 5 years ago with a 10 year warranty, I had problems with this roof from the start, mind you now this was with a different contractor don't want to release his name, he had a bad crew working for him. I had repair person after repair person to come out over the years to fix different leaks, one of the leaks someone came on 9 different occasions before the leak stopped. A new leak started in my kitchen and bedroom over a year ago and nobody ever came to look at the problem, company was no longer in the roofing business but I could still reach the original owner. After many many more phone calls he finally got tired of me calling and send David from Cobalt Roofing and Construction to my house to look to see if there really was anything to my claims and David took his time and went in the attic and assessed the situation and said that the damage was so bad that I needed a new roof. He took it upon himself to contact the earlier company owner and made a deal with him, he would fix my roof because I had a very valid claim and lot's of damage from bad work done and he knew I needed help badly. He send his crew to my house on Jan. 3rd and my roof was redone the proper way in 2 days of hard work with almost no breaks on his crews side and it looks fantastic, but most of all no more leaks and my house holds the heat so much better now, I had now idea of how much consequences all those holes in the roof had beside water leaks and damage to my ceilings and mold and mildew. He also had his crew remove the gutters for me as a favor, they where also damaged by the original crew. I am so very grateful to Cobalt Construction there are no words, this would have never happened if they did not help me with the original company and stepping in and taking charge of the work and doing it the right way. Thank you and God Bless you and your Company and Employees. Cobalt Construction is tops to me and I will recommend them to anybody that I know and that needs anything done, there was never a phone call or text message that was not returned by David within the same day or even faster and he is a very busy man. There was no reason but kindness on his part to do the job it was done by his company (Cobalt) under my original warranty at no cost to me. Cobalt Construction and Roofing came to some kind of understanding with the gone out of business company but I was never bothered with any of that David took care of everything.
We have had several very severe storms since than and I have not had one single leak not one drop, and before my entire Kitchen counter and floor where flooded as well as my bedroom window curtains and the floor had to be moped after every rain.
Fantastic Company and Owner the job was done correct, in a very timely manner, quality material was used, same shingles as before they where more expensive, so no cost was spared I got exactly what I paid for the first time but excellent work this time.If you are thinking of having any kind of work done on your home this is the company for you I just can not say enough about them, I would give 10 stars if I could. Finally I found someone that will do what they say they will do, will do it right and is always reachable which was important to me as well. If you want quality work and customer service this is the company for you trust me. They did not miss the smallest detail such as even repainting my old vents, prior paint had already come of completely. Sorry for the long review but it said tell the story from start to finish so I did.
Again thank you David and Cobalt Roofing and Construction, God Bless you for your kindness.

I think the amount was close to $9000.  They did very well.  They were very, very good.  I like that they try to help one out.  They try to figure out a way to do the best they can.  They want to please people.  It was important to them that one was happy with the work in the end.  I would use them again in the future if need be and I would refer them to other people too.    

Went very smoothly.  They had to remove the trim from the windows (carefully) and then cut out and remove the existing windows, replace with the new, and then reapply the prior trim, and then caulk.  They didn't take any shortcuts and I was very pleased with the result.

I would absolutely recommend David and Cobalt Construction for any future renovation or home repair. Our home sustained significant damage in the tornado's which swept across much of Alabama in April 2011. Repairs included replacement of the roof, most of the drywall, window replacement, some masonry, the HVAC system, flooring, insulation, some electrical work, painting and other interior finishing work, and fencing. David and his crew have completed all work on time, within budget and with an extreme degree of professionalism. Toward the end of work on the interior of the house we came up against a hard deadline for move in; David and the Cobalt team were able to complete all work on time and get our family back into our home. This company will truly go the extra mile to ensure that a customer is satisfied with the conduct of their employees; on several occasions the Cobalt Construction team helped my wife carry in groceries, bring in our trashcans and recycle bins in from the curb and checked to ensure that everything was completed to our satisfaction.

I received terrible damage to my home and I called several contractors to give me estimates. I chose Cobalt because David came to my home within 24 hours of me calling his office and gave me a lot of information that I did not encounter with the others.  He was the only one out of the four that took the time to get to all the damage that I had sustained and that no other contractor picked up on, some I  did not even realize. He looked over my home as if it was his own.  He was extremely knowledgable.  I decided to try him out and see if he could do all he said he could.  One being work with my Insurance company that did not seem to want to pay for all the damage.  David took the ball at that point and met with the adjuster and showed him things that they were not going to cover, and then WOW over $9000.00 more then they were originally going to pay. I think the insurance company makes money off of homeowners that way.... David was very diligent to make sure that everything I needed to be repaired was taken care of. He sent crews out to my home, and I am very picky, no smoking, no cursing and very polite. That is all I got.. They were very courteous and seem to complete everything to my standard. David made sure everything was finished properly and then we settled up when the insurance money was released. I have full intentions of hiring them again next spring to build a pool house. I have hired a lot of workers in my time, but never had any of them make me feel as important as David did.  KUDOS!!!!

This was a great experience overall.  We got everything in writing from our insurance company but in hindsight should have had more in writing from Cobalt at the start. But it didn't matter because it was all taken care of from start to finish with no worries on our part! Great Contractor! Very Sincere!

Smooth as glass

Overall, our experience was a pleasant one with two exceptions. First, David was more than an hour late when coming out to meet us before and after the job. Second, when the workers first began their work, they had little to no regard for the flower bed they were throwing shingles on top of. When my husband told them about this they placed a tarp over some shrubs to protect them but it ended up severely overheating the plants. Luckily they survived the ordeal. With those two things aside, however, we are still very happy with the work that was done and would hire David again to complete other jobs around our home.

The insurance covered quite a bit of it.  The work turned out well.  They did a nice job and they worked all day long.  They hardly took any breaks and they finished in about a day and a half.

It turned out fine. There were no problems. The roof doesn't leak. They showed up on time, cleaned up their mess and went away.

The project went ok. Nothing really stood out about them. The quality of their work was good.
