I had to get my roof redone by someone else because they did such a bad job, twice. First it leaked on one side and then it leaked on the other side. The roof they put on leaked at the peak of the roof terribly. When I called them to look at the problems with their work they said they would not guarantee their work past the one year mark. I would not recommend them and friends of mine have had them put roofs on for them including skylights and the skylights leaked also.

They were easy to work with and showed up on time and did what they said they were going to do. Tony was our main contact and was easy to get a hold of and very responsive and straight forward and answered any questions we had. He performed an accurate estimate. The estimate seemed fair. Others’ estimates were really high.
Description of Work: They replaced a few sections of a cedar shingle roof. A team of 5-10 completed the work in a couple weeks.

Excellent! Meticulous, fine work! Fully satisfied. Pricey, but kind of expected it due to materials involved (slate and copper). Definitely call them again for general maintenance on my roof. John is a pleasure to work with, very professional, and oversees the work in progress.
Description of Work: Repaired slate roof. Replaced damaged copper gutters and supporting wooden structures. Replaced peak cap taken off by winter blizzard. Replaced numerous damaged slates and snow and ice keepers. Repaired supporting structure for gutters and replaced 2 long runs of copper gutters. Caulked, primed and painted new wooden structures.

It was relatively inexpensive. They're very nice and are low-key. Not salesy at all. Very straight forward and straight shooters. The estimate process was excellent. Their honesty pushed them over the top of the three other estimates I had received.

They did an excellent job. They did exactly what they said they were going to do. It looks good. I have no complaints. They subcontracted the work and they were very good. Russo came everyday to check on the progress. The work has been holding up well since.
Description of Work: I had a roofer come, who was recommended by my plumber, and he didn't do a good job with the shingle spacing. I had Russo come and put another roof layer of. The work took a team of 3-4 about a day and half to complete.

The crew worked very hard. I had no dissatisfaction with the pace. They were very organized. The clean up was better than other contractors we had. Due to the weather many homes had roof issues due to immense amount of snow over the winter and subsequent ice. Other homes had greater damage and they prioritized our home accordingly. The price seemed a bit high but the cost was covered by insurance. It was quality work and the estimate was accurate. Paperwork-wise they were better in terms of everything, than any building contractor we've ever used. If I had any work in the future I wouldn't even get an estimate from anyone else. I would just call them.
Description of Work: We have a ranch house and they replaced the entire front of the roof and did an inspection. This was for asphalt shingles.

Response from Russo Roofing Inc
I believe the roof damage occured during a hurricane where some of the metal edging at the perimeter of the roof lifted and broke the roofing seal. That unfortunate problem was an act of God and not caused by faulty workmanship.

After another smaller contractor gave me a good quote but then strung me along for weeks by repeatedly cancelling appointments, I called Russo, even though I wasn't sure they'd take on a small job like this. I'd had them out for a roof repair estimate two years earlier (which we ended up not needing because we pinpointed the source of the interior leak to a different place) and had been impressed with their patience and professionalism. They have an office phone staffed by a friendly and intelligent person, made no comment about the size of the job, sent out an estimator quickly, emailed me a quote immediately, and scheduled the work promptly once I gave the go-ahead. I did notice a few small problems with the quality of the work (sharp metal edges left exposed rather than turned under, e.g.), but when I alerted the company the glitches were fixed within 24 hours. Russo's quote was higher than the one I'd originally received, but it was completely worth it for the no-hassle interaction and peace of mind. They stand by their reputation and their work.

Thrilled with them. 3 full days, the crew of 5 ppl with a foreman. This crew has been working together for 5 years. They had one person just to clean. They have a very good system with protecting your yard and home. The slide it down on the tarp. At the end of each day they had a total clean up and plus they went over the entire area with a magnetic device to put up loose nails. The guy who came to give the estimate, came with his foreman, and came out everyday to make sure the job was going well. We had to guys to go to on the job. They went above and beyond. They put on chimney caps, that buts into the brick. He actually drilled 16 inch holes into bricks. He did not have to do it, but they did it anyways and it was appreciated. It was the entire team working on the job. The estimater came out everyday. The price was what it was suppose to be with no surprises. Ice water goes under the shingles for extra protection from getting wet. They covered more areas. They also explained to me that they put in more nails to insure that nothing will blow away from wind storms. They have a bad rating but they are very good and our experience is very good with them.
Description of Work: They put on a whole new roof. They took the old roof off down to the plywood.

When the Owner Mr. Russo came to my home at the end of our conversation I stated that his company lost all credibility with me and that I could not take him to small claims court because of the time element. He obviously was aware of this because his final statement to me was you can not take me to small claims court so there is nothing you can do about it.I would advise anyone doing business with Russo roofing to be aware of the fact that if you experience the same thing I went through and you have to call him back several times to make repairs remember that there is a 6 year time frame in which you can take him to small claims court in the state of Connecticut.
Description of Work: I had a new roof installed on my six and one half room Cape Cod home in July of 2003 by Russo Roofing Inc. The total cost to me was $6,783.00. It has been a nightmare for seven plus years. I have experienced water leaks and tar streaming down the upstairs walls and cracks and leaks in my ceilings in five of the six and one half rooms in my home. At present, a sixth room is showing water stains on the ceiling. Russo Roofing has been called numerous times to correct the problems which I have been told by other roofing contractors were due to poor workmanship. I called Mr. Russo the owner and he came to my home on April 19, 2010, because I told his secretary that I wanted my money back or I would sue him. I told Mr. Russo and John Ocone at that time that his company had lost all credibility with me. If anyone has had a similar loss with Russo Roofing Inc. and is interested in joining a class action lawsuit with me at no cost to them please contact Angieslist.com and they will get you in touch with me.

Response from Russo Roofing Inc
[member name removed] is, with all due respeect, dilusional. I met with him personally to verify his claim. I told him that his problem was not from the roof but from his chimeny which needed to be flashed, pointed, silicone and capped. He refused to accept my explanation on how to solve the problem. I sent him an estimate for the chimney work anyway even though he threatened to sue me. His wife actually sided with me claiming that he was wrong in his accusations about what casused a winter leak. Several weeks later, while I was driving in his neighborhood, I drove by his house to see if he had any work done to the chimney. He hired someone who knew nothing avout roofing or chimney work. His "expert" tarred a piece of alumimum against his chimney. I have never seen such poor workmanship in all my 40 years in business. As a courtesy, I sent him a note and several pictures as to how a chimeny is suppose to be flashed and what chimneys look like when they are improperly flashed. I even gave him addresses of houses in his neighborhood for him to see and check if any other chimneys were flashed like his chimney. I never heard from him again. He is a very angry and unreasonable man. I made an honest attempt to help him but he had his mind made up that I was to blame.

I got a written bid and it was in my opinion about $2000 high. Not only that, but when I first scheduled them to come out and bid, they wanted to do it without meeting with me first. I insisted someone come to the house and talk to me to find out exactly what I wanted before he did his estimate, but he didn't bring any shingle samples or brochures with him. They did not want this job for whatever reason and that is okay. They were responsive in the sense that the estimator showed up promptly and on time, but I will not use them in the future because I had to make an extra effort to talk to the estimator first and he brought no materials for me to look at.

Response from Russo Roofing Inc
Customer has no complaints about the quality of the work but complains about everything else(including price) AFTER the job is completed. When [Member Name] called, an estimator quickly responded by going to her home and measuring the roof. A written ESTIMATE was sent a couple of days later. Most people get 2-3 other estimates and then call their perferred contractor and discuss their estimate against the others.It is our policy not to pester people when they are trying to decide which contractor . Our name, our reputation and the quality of work we produce is what sells our work.Samples were brought to her home and she picked a color. She has a short memory claiming that we never interacted with her. That is totally not true. If the price was "$2,000 dollars high" why did she choose us? Ms. Parsons got a great job from a very professional company... she just doesn't realize or appreciate it.
