Alves was very responsive and professional while performing the work. One of the workers broke through a part of the roof that was rotten, and they quickly covered the exposed room with tarping. The area was cleaned well afterwards. They were extremely fast in replacing the roof, and it looks fantastic! Another crew came out the following day to install the metal gutters. They were also very quick and professional. The finished product looks excellent.
Description of Work: Replaced an old asphalt shingle roof on a small cabin with a new one. Repaired rotten plywood, and installed roof venting. Also installed new metal gutters and downspouts.

flooring contractor, hardwood floor
  + 0 more
What they did is the get their own contractors when they get a job and they send out contractors that obviously didn't know what they were doing and they didn't even line up the floor right. And when they put it in it all uneven, you know it was suppose to look like wood floor but it was all off center like I could have figured that out. They did our roof and they did a great job they did that years ago. But they didn't do a very good job on the floors. They sent their contractor that did a crappy job then they redid it thou and fixed it but still I ended up having transition piece between the two room which kind of took away from the whole point that it was supposed to look like all wood floor. It's hard to judge, they fixed it but they blew it too.
Description of Work: I used Alves Inc for hardwood flooring sales installation refinishing services.

Approximately 10 years ago, Alves installed seamless gutters on our home. Their original service was fine. They showed up on time, completed the work as promised, and their price was reasonable. However, their follow-up customer service is very bad. Within the last year we noticed that there were multiple rusted-out holes throughout the gutters. 10 years is too soon for these aluminum gutters to develop holes like this. We regularly clean our gutters and we followed the warranty instructions, so we knew that wasn't the problem, The main locations of the rusted holes were in the long runs of the gutter. Water accumulates in these spots because the gutters apparently don't drain properly. A properly hung gutter will have a very slight decline toward the downspouts so they can drain. The decline should not be noticeable to the eye, so the homeowner will not notice that the gutter is improperly hung. We contacted Alves because the gutters came with a warranty. They told us that they no longer use this type of gutter because they don't think it is a good product and they don't like the customer service. Alves indicated that there was nothing they could do for us. When we contacted the gutter manufacturer (which was a time consuming ordeal), they finally said that they would honor the warranty and would send out new gutters. We contacted Alves again to tell them that the gutter company would provide new gutters, and to try and agree on a solution to the problem. Alves hung the gutters and chose the product, so it was only reasonable to assume that they would honor the warranty and hang the gutters. They told us that they would hang the gutters at a "discounted" price of $800. I asked to speak to the owner and was told that the owner would not speak to me, because he had made his decision and he wasn't going to do anything more than give me the "discounted" price. To say that we're disappointed is an understatement. We have been very reasonable and have gone through every hoop. We've never been difficult or abusive, we have just been persistent. This process took months, and the owner can't take 10 minutes out of the day to speak to me. I do not recommend Alves.

They did fine. We didn't want to get our driveway paved, so we just did as much as we had to do for the county not to fine us. Alves was very accommodating. They did fine. Their bid was lower than the other one we got.
Description of Work: We used Alves. They did asphalt driveway about 10 feet long.

Alves' representative was on time; very professional, knowledgeable, and courteous; and described in detail the job that would be performed. This was a re-roof; not sure what would be found under the existing shingles. Price range was middle of the pack of the 3 estimates I received. Cost per hour per man for carpentry was considerably higher than other bids, however. I would have selected them except cost was a significant factor, and another company with equally good recommendations, professionalism, and quality of materials came in a thousand dollars lower. I would not hesitate to recommend Alves to anyone wanting a bid on a roofing job.
Description of Work: Alves visited my property ahead to work up their proposal, then a representative met me at my property at my convenience to discuss their proposal.

Alves did a wonderful and professional job on our roof. The very large crew brought their own porta-potty, and were efficient and courteous. They protected all of our windows and the landscape, and did a great job of cleaning up when they were through (they even had a guy use a magnet to get any loose nails!). They finished the job, from tear off to completed roof in one day, and it's beautiful! We really couldn't be happier. Our next door neighbors were so impressed that they had their roof replaced as well.
Description of Work: Removed 2 layers of existing shingles, made structural repairs to roof, installed new shingles.

They arrived on time with a full crew. They covered our bushes to protect them from any falling debris. All roofing and plywood was placed into a scissor lift dumpster. After installing all the roofing they went around the yard with a magnet to make sure they didn't leave any nails. They raked up any debris as well. The yard didn't even look like anybody had done any work when they finished. They did all of this in one day. I was very pleased with their work and have recommended them to several people.

We're impressed with their work ethics and honesty. Even as I write this, those Alves guys are on our roof -- replacing the screws. We're happy to recommend them as a company you can trust!
Description of Work: Ten years ago, Alves installed a metal roof on our home. We were working overseas at the time and hoped that everything would turn out well but weren't there to supervise. All seemed well until a few weeks ago when we discovered that some of the screws on the roof were rusting. We searched everywhere for documentation about what type of screws they'd used. (Metal roofs last a long time and should probably have stainless (non-rusting) screws in our near-ocean environment. We found information about the job but not in enough detail about certain elements of the job. We visited the Alves office to inquire and received a return phone call by Ted Alves who is an officer in the family-owned business. He 1. remembered our job because he'd worked on it 2. immediately took responsibility for replacing rusting screws with non-rusting ones and 3. charged us nothing for replacing screws.
