Requested a quote in early January, someone came out shortly after on 1/12. Meeting went great, but he needed to go back and get final quotes for a skylight replacement. After not hearing back for 3 weeks, I reached out and was assured they were close to getting the quote. 4 weeks and several ignored phone calls and emails later, I was told that I'll have pricing on Monday. That was 3 weeks ago. Giant waste of time. Terrible customer service after the on-site visit, all while stringing me along with a leaking roof. I've now wasted 2.5 months on this project.

This company is great. Dennis had done the roof for us many years ago, but it started leaking during hard rains. Dennis came and fixed the leak, then gave us an estimate to redo our roof. After we contracted with Dennis and a date was set, the job was started and completed in about 2.5 days. The team of workers came at 7:30 AM on May 25, (as promised) and removed the old shingles. They completed the removal and cleanup in about 3 hours. They put down tarps around the house before starting the removal and cleaned everything up before they left. Later that day, the new roofing materials were delivered. Friday morning about 6:30 AM, the roofer arrived and worked all day. He had to repair a few bad places and install the shingles. He completed the major portion of the work on Friday, then returned about 8 AM on Saturday and had the job done by early afternoon. We are very pleased with the new roof and the efficiency of the workers. They even did some extra work cutting back bushes and trees that were in the way. I recommend Dennis Cook Roofing very highly and I will use them again.

They did it awesome! They worked over thanksgiving 2016, and got done just in time, literally packing up their truck as the rain came in, while my house was warm and dry. I was provided a lien release upon request, and the work was done before I laid out cash so I did not feel that payment risk contractors sometimes request when they aren't adequately capitalized. Next day, the HVAC guys complimented my roof, saying they see a million of them and they are tough to impress but mine looked great. Shingle: Landmark Solaris Platinum - it reflects the sun's radiation and keeps house cooler.
Description of Work: I have a house which was built then remodeled twice. Roof is complicated, measured at near 4,000 sq feet. Several better known contractors submitted extravagant bids but Dennis (actually his son Adam ran my job) was the least expensive and the most responsive. We selected after much research a premium shingle and wanted Low-E. ALL the other contractors argued and basically d/n want to do that. But I had done my research. Adam was the first contractor to actually recommend the Low E and said it would keep house cooler not to mention it's extra water barrier. Work performed: shingles, deck rehab as needed, flashings, Low-E and moisture barrier

Description of Work: Dennis and his family run a very responsive business. I needed a roof inspection for a refinance and he was the only one I called who could come out the next day. He did so and was very cordial, helpful and gave me details about what he did. I would use him again.

The estimate was accurate and the work was done exactly as described. This was the most painless construction project i have ever done.
Description of Work: These are the nicest people I have ever dealt with in the construction world. He was so great and the place was cleaner when he left than it was when he got there!

Their pricing was pretty cheap compared to a previous guy who was charging more. They were efficient and friendly. They got the job done pretty quickly even though it was really hot. I would use them again in the future.

He came out and looked at the roof. He was supposed to get back to me on the estimate, but I never heard from him. I would have considered using him but I never received the estimate.

Description of Work: Dennis installed new asphalt shingles over an exiting roof about fourteen years ago. Overall, I don’t think he did a very good job. We’ve had numerous leaks, but I’ve never contacted Dennis about this.

Response from Dennis Cook Roofing Inc
I do not recall this job or person.I wonder why they waited 14 years to do this review? I also wonder why they didn't call us and give us a chance to remediate the alleged problem? We have always been easy to work with and have always gone back to fix anylittle problems.The leaks may have been on a flat roof below the sloped shingle roof that they didn't have us re-roof. I also wonder why they gave us a "C" grade since they were willing to hire us again. It all looks suspicious to me, like maybe a non customer wrote the review? Anyone reading this, please Google our Company name and see all the postive reviews and our A+ Better Business Bureau rating, for many years.Thanks for reading this, Dennis Cook

Description of Work: Dennis Cook's son Josh came out and gave us a bid to replace our roof. He was one of three companies I had out for bids. They were NOT the least expensive, however, based upon Josh's interaction with me/ his explaination of the work to be done etc. they are who I choose. Josh and I agreed upon a starting and finishing date both were finished on time. I had an additional attic vent and skylight cover which Josh allowed me to pay cost with no installition costs. His workers were polite. THIS is a company that I would refer my family to. They did a great job. Susan D.

Dennis and his son Adam were very responsive to the initial request for a repair quote, when most other roofers were "too busy" during the heavy rains. Adam showed up "on time" on the designated day, and did a thorough inspection of the leak and roof problems. Adam even went as far as to "take pictures" of the weathered/worn roofing and showed them to me, indicating where the problem leaks were probably occuring. Once Adam provided the "estimate", we asked if he could do the work "immediately". Adam called and verified with Dennis, and initiated the quoted repairs "on the spot". This was very much appreciated, as more heavy rains were on the way. Adam mentioned that the original roof, appeared to be well installed, so the repair should fix all of the leaking issues... Neither Adam nor Dennis, attempted to pressure or sale me into a "new roof"; although they will be on my short-list, when the time comes for a new roof. Very professional, courteous and responsive. Highly recommend their services.
Description of Work: We had a roof leak, during the heavy rains in late December. They were prompt in responding to a request for repair estimate, and provided immediate repair after we agreed to the estimate and price. Services provided included replacing broken cement tiles (owner supplied), replaced deteriorated tar paper with double-layers and re-routed some drainage with additonal metal barriers.

Everything was excellent. Dennis took plenty of time and explained everything in detail during the estimate. During the work he kept me informed at all times, even when the crew was going to be late due to traffic. The crew cleaned up well each day and at the end of the job. I highly recommend Dennis and his company.

Dennis's roofers were not always truthful with him, resulting in his thinking aspects of the job were completed when they were not. He was not on site to supervise or check their work until we told him to come look with us and fix the problems. His guys broke one of the fascia boards on the garage and he failed to take responsibility for or repair the damage.
Description of Work: Dennis hired 2 individuals to roof our newly acquired rental home. (approx 1500 sq feet).

We just started advertising with AL & had never seen previous reviews such as this & didn't know that my clients wrote them. If I remember, my foreman told me they did not cause the damage. I find her statement hard to believe.We have always taken responsibily for any damages we cause.I have a longstanding A+ rating with the BBB. As well as a 4.7 out of 5 star rating with Service Magic. People can Google my Co. name & read plenty of positive reviews. Thanks for reading this far...Dennis Cook
