This is the first time I have been involved with hiring a firm for a big project. The roof is large with a high pitch and several sections. I was really nervous. I have to say the Mike (the owner) made this process so easy and it couldn't have been a better experience. Mike arrived promptly for our initial meeting . He presented himself in a professional, yet friendly manner. Our roofing project was described to us in great detail and he took great care in answering each and every one of our questions. Mike's passion for his job was evident. After selecting Rhino Back to do the job, we were pleased to see that the crew (supervised by Josh who was also great to work with) arrived on time each morning. Care was taken to protect our many plants and the clean-up process was very thorough. Our roof, gutters and skylights look great. We would highly recommend this Rhino Back crew to everyone.

Response from Rhino-Back Roofing
[Member Name Removed], Thank you so much for the great review! We were so happy to be able to help with your roofing project and really enjoyed working with you. Please keep in touch and let us know if there is anything we can do for you in the future. Regards, Mike & Lisa Trouern-Trend and the Rhinoback Roofing Team. For those of you reading this review, [Member Name Removed] contacted us because she was ready to replace the roof on her entire [Member Information Removed] home, which was about 25 years old and showing signs of wear. After providing a step-by-step explanation of the process and selecting the new shingle color we arrived early the morning that work was scheduled to begin. Our crew began to strip the [Member Information Removed] home's roof down to the plywood decking, making sure that the decking was in good condition before we began applying a high-quality Ice and Water Shield on all eaves, valleys, and high risk areas. We also installed 4 new skylights and flashing, and a new bathroom vent. A synthetic underlayment was applied to the remainder of the roof. We then installed lifetime architectural shingles in a Slatestone Gray color that nicely complimented the exterior of the home. Once the work was complete the dumpster and excess materials were hauled away, and our crew began their thorough cleanup of the Windsor CT property. The roof looks fantastic and will provide the home with protection from the elements for many years to come!

Rhino Back was one of the best contractors that I have worked with in a long time. Mike and Josh were very professional as well as there crew. The job was completed in one day, and they even sent someone back the following day to make sure that the cleanup was done to perfection. I received pricing from 4 other contractors and they fell in the middle. I would highly recommend Rhino Back for your next roofing project. Its was nice to work with a company that cares about there customers.

I have been a homeowner for 35 years, and in that time I have hired many different contractors for many different jobs. In all seriousness, we have never had a better experience than we had dealing with Rhino-back roofing. This company is exceptional in terms of service, professionalism, promptness- any measure you want to use. Mike thoroughly explained the work they would do, the materials they would use, and the process in a no pressure at all quote. Josh and his crew had to reschedule due to heavy rain in the forecast twice-and each time called well ahead and scheduled a prompt (i.e. just a few days later) new date. They arrived promptly, worked great and the clean-up was terrific. Looking at the ground you would never know they were here- but one look at the roof and you could tell- it looks great! I teach at UConn and my students will tell you that they get only the grade they earn. Rhino-back earns an A+. I highly recommend them!

Workers showed up exactly on time and immediately went to work removing old roof. Started at 7am and had new roof on and cleanup completed before the end of the day. Entire process was fully explained beforehand. Best experience I've ever had with a contractor.

The day before work was scheduled to begin, material was delivered to the home and the following morning we arrived to begin stripping the existing 25 year old roof down to the decking, making sure to inspect the integrity of the plywood and replaced one sheet that was damaged. We then installed a high-quality Ice & Water Shield along all eaves, valleys, and around 2 chimneys that we also refreshed to ensure that the home would be protected from the rain and snow. We applied a synthetic underlayment to the remainder of the roof, and finished with beautiful lifetime architectural shingles that will provide superior protection for many, many years to come. After the roof itself was complete all waste and materials were properly disposed of and the yard thoroughly cleaned. This job was completed in one day and the home looks great!

I know most most people will just give straight A's for on this sight but The guys at Rhino-Back deserve so much more than that! It was a pleasure working with Mike, Josh, and the whole crew! Not only did they meet my expectations but they far exceeded them. DO NOT let anyone tell you that a roof cannot be replaced in the winter because these guys can roof all year round! Thank you so much for making our home look fantastic and enjoyable for many more years to come.

Response from Rhino-Back Roofing
[Member Name Removed] and [Member Name Removed], Thank you very much for the very kind review. It was a pleasure to work for you. It was good we got a little break in the weather so we could get the rubber roof on the dormer you were having problems with before you had a bunch of snow up there. Please let's make sure to stay in touch, and I'm sure I'll see you around town. --- Mike & Lisa Trouern-Trend & the whole Rhino-Back Roofing team. For others reading this review here are a few details from the job. We did a full roof replacement on this cute cape style home with detached garage on [Member Information Removed] Road in Simsbury, CT [Member Information Removed]. The major reason [Member Name Removed]and [Member Name Removed] decided to do the roof now was they have a very low pitch shed dormer in the back that was leaking around a drain vent pipe. Because of the very low pitch and the penetration of the pipe on that dormer a shingle roof system was not a good solution to solve the problem. They currently had shingles up there which had failed fairly quickly. Instead, we put an EPDM Rubber membrane system on that dormer. A EPDM Roof has no penetrations in it-it is an unbroken sheet. Instead of being nailed down to affix it, it is glued down with a special cement to a backer board that is screwed down to the existing roof sheathing. The beauty of this type of roof is that on very low pitched areas even if you get a large amount of standing water it will never get through. It is 100% waterproof. The down side is it is kind of commercial looking. It look like a black sheet of inner tube rubber with glued seams and strips around the edges. But for this couple's dormer roof it was perfect because it was so low pitch you can't see it from the ground. After the dormer was secure we stripped the rest of the house including the garage and installed a very high quality and asthetically beautiful architectural asphalt shingle roof system. The house looks great and is secure and watertight. When I called a couple weeks later to say hello Jermaine, within a couple days he had already cut out and replaced the water damaged sheet rock and painted the bathroom ceiling that was under that tricky dormer. He is glad he'll never have to do that again. This couple was a pleasure to work for.

Every aspect of the process went impeccably, from my first meeting with Mike to the time that the roof was completed. Mike carefully explained the complete process in full detail and everything went according to plan. His staff is kind and courteous and his team of installers is highly skilled and take great pride in their work. I would highly recommend Rhino-Back Roofing, to family, neighbors and friends. Please consider using them if you are in need of a roof. I assure you that you will be please you did. Scott Sullivan
Description of Work: My roof was in dire need of a complete strip-down and replacement. A single layer of shingles was removed as well as all of the underlying remnants of felt and ice and water shield. A ridge-vent was installed during the process as well. The roof was then resurfaced with ice and water barrier and re-shingled with an architectural shingle.

Rhinoback is one of the best contractors I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Owner Mike T is very pleasant and professional, and the manufacturer he uses, Owens-Corning, is top-notch. Mike explained everything in detail – roofing materials, the Owens-Corning warranty, and every step of the installation process --- and was the only one of the roofers who bid on the project to actually inspect the attic and crawl spaces to make sure the wood infrastructure was sound. Installation took one day – the crew of seven showed up at 7 am and by 6 pm the roof was finished, all debris was cleaned up, and the house looked terrific. Production manager Josh was on site all day to answer questions, and came back the next day to make sure that every old nail and shingle had been thrown away. You’d think such quality would be prohibitively expensive (and roofing is by nature costly) but Rhinoback’s price was mid-range of all the estimates I received. I HIGHLY recommend Rhino-Back!

Response from Rhino-Back Roofing
[Member Name Removed]-- Thank you for the detailed and glowing review. The whole team really enjoyed working for you. If we can help you with anything business or beyond please let us know and let's make sure to stay in touch. Your home looks great, glad you went with the driftwood color!! -- Mike & Lisa Trouern-Trend & the Rhino-Back Roofing Team --- For others reading this Roofing review here are some project details. We stripped the entire existing roof down to the plywood and installed a new complete roofing system on this cape style home in Granby CT. It was a fairly high pitched (steep slope) project. The home already had a good laid out ventilation set up so we simply replaced the existing ridge vent. The attic is breathing well. The plywood under the shingles was in good condition so minimal repair of the roof deck was required. The main reason we like to inspect the attic before we do any roofing projects, as [Member Name Removed] mentioned we did, is to get an idea of the condition of the plywood before we get started. By doing this we are able to let the customer know if it appears there will be additional deck replacement required after the shingle are stripped which would cost more. This allows people to prepare and avoids surprises the day of the project. Our customers have told us they appreciate that. [Member Name Removed] decided on Driftwood for her roof color. It look really good with her existing siding.

The roofing project went great! Starting with the initial estimate, Mike, the owner, was very clear and enthusiastic in presenting his company and the shingle roofing system they use. His pricing was also very reasonable. He was flexible on the start date as he knew I was starting a new job soon and wanted to be home the day of the job. On that day, Josh, the project supervisor was here about a half hour earlier than the start time. He was friendly and easy to talk to and answered any last questions I had as he explained how the job would proceed. The roofing team arrived a little early and immediately got to work. It was really amazing how energetic and efficient his crew was. They were nonstop action from beginning to end aside from a well deserved lunch break and finished the job in one day. I was expecting it would take two days so was pleasantly surprised. They also cleaned up my property very well and Josh even stopped by the next day to do a more detailed cleanup of smaller material. Finally, Mike followed up with a phone call a few days after completion to see if I had any questions or concerns. Rhino-Back did a great job and I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing a roof replacement or any type of roof work!
Description of Work: I needed to have a 23 year old roof replaced. This required removal of all existing layers of material down to the roof decking (plywood) then application of new underlayment, ice/water shield, shingles, drip edges, chimney flashing and two roof vents.

[Member Name Removed], Thank you very much for having us take care of your roof for you. We really enjoyed working for you! Please let us know if we can help you with anything- business or beyond. See you at the gym. Mike & Lisa Trouern-Trend and the Rhino-Back Roofing Team For others reading this review, here are a few details from this roof replacement project we didi on [Member Information Removed] Simsbury CT 06070. We completely stripped the existing shingles down to the plywood on this colonial style home. Next we applied a high grade ice and water shield 6 feet up from all the eaves on the home except on one area. That area was an addition that was built with a very low pitch roof. Because of the low pitch this particular plane required a full coverage of a special high viscosity ice and water shield that is designed to give extra protection on very high risk areas. In that same area we installed a box vent to help prevent against heat build up in the small attic cavity that could lead to ice damming. After that we continued to install a complete high grade asphalt roof system to make sure [Member Name Removed]'s house is protected for many years to come. Even though he is considering selling his home in the next two years he wanted to make sure no roof issues came up during the sale process. [Member Name Removed] was a pleasure to work for!

This is a family owned business. Owners Mike and Lisa are both very involved in the business and live locally. Mike is a professional who is customer focused. My roof was leaking leading up to the job and I realized that an incoming storm was going to cause problems. I left Mike a voicemail around 8pm and the next morning at 8am he had his site supervisor at my house to put a temporary tarp on. Made all the difference and was a great way to start a relationship with a customer. In every way, my interactions with Mike were top notch. His crew does operate independently meaning Mike is not on-site when the work gets done. The one and only item that came up was during the installation of the plywood overlay. The crew missed a board of wood that had begun to rot from the inside. Once I pointed it out they ripped up the plywood and replaced the piece at their own cost. Still, I didn't like having to get involved especially around an area that was discussed heavily during the sales process. However, they made it right immediately when I brought it to their attention and this was the only item that came up. Overall.... The work was done on the exact timeline that was promised. The cleanup was impressive. The job looks great. Time will tell with regard to the work product but during yesterday's downpour everything stayed dry. If my mother needed her roof done tomorrow, I'd hire these guys. You could go cheaper but you'd probably pay for it in the long run. Good value. Thanks Mike!

[Member Name Removed], Thank you for the detailed review. It was a pleasure working for you. Since you work right next door please stop by anytime to say hello. Let's make sure to stay in touch! -- Mike & Lisa Trouern-Trend & the Rhino-Back Roofing team--- For other's reading this review here are some detail of this residential Roofing project in Simsbury CT. We completely stripped 2 layers of shingles down the original plank sheathing on this 100 year old duplex colonial style property. Upon the initial inspection it was discovered that the original roof deck planks had many wide gaps between them. This would have made it impossible to properly nail the new shingles down. So after the roof was stripped it was necessary to install a new plywood deck over the entire roof surface to ensure secure fastening of the shingles. We then proceeded to install the new complete roofing system. There were also 2 tall chimneys that had outlives there useful life. One was leaning slightly and both had a significant amount of mortar breakdown between the bricks. We demoed both chimneys to the roofline and rebuilt them the required association height of 3 feet. New ice and water shield, step flashing and counter flashing was also installed on the new chimneys to make sure (Member name removed)'s building is tight and dry for years to come.

Everything was completed as promised, crew arrived bright and early, entire job finished in one day, no surprises or extra costs, and looks great! Mike was very professional, explained everything thoroughly and was helpful in deciding the best options for the job. Josh and the 7-man crew were great, hard-working, cleaned up everything when finished. I would recommend Rhino-Back to my neighbors.

A truly amazing, unexpected experience! Begins with a meeting by Mike, a review of your needs, and a professional quote of the work to be performed. Mike recites precisely what we should expect and, in detail, how it will occur. After speaking with a few other roofers, there was no question, this was the personable company to hire! Extremely professional workers who performed an impeccable job! After watching neighbors replacing their roof with other companies, these same neighbors replied personally to me how amazing this job was and could not believe it only took ONE day! I shared in their amazement as that aspect, although Mike said probably 1 day, was difficult to believe. I'm a believer now! If you're seeking a roofer, don't waste your time with others. THIS is the company to hire, hands down!

It went great. The crew showed up on time and started removing the old shingles. By 9AM, I was told how many pieces of plywood needed to be replaced. The roof was completed by evening time and the area around the house was cleaned up. The left over materials were neatly stacked and were picked up a couple of days later. Great job.

Highly recommend them to anyone with roofing needs.

Mike and his crew provide an excellent service at value. From start to finish the job off without a hitch. All plans and steps were laid out in advance with the timing for everything from dumpster and material drop off to day of job and clean up. The team onsite was punctual, polite and clearly enjoyed working for/with Mike. Mike's second and command Josh was on site for the majority of the time and made sure that we were aware of what was being done and when things would be completed. A word about warranty; best I have ever seen. Roofing materials AND installation work is guaranteed and backed by the roofing material manufacturer. Not the least expensive quote that we received in the process, but overall the best value for our money and piece of mind. We recommend Mike and Rhino Back Roofing.
Description of Work: Removed and replaced two Velux skylights on our lower rook and re-flashed around chimney. Removed and replaced upper roof, repaired damaged roof planking and replaced roof with high quality, name brand roofing shingles in a color that matched our lower roof. Re-flashed second chimney and installed air circulation fan through upper roof into attic area. They also removed roofing materials from three four additional overhang areas (bay window, doors, addition) and replaced roof shingles. Ice and water shield and roofing paper was used under each are of the roof. To prevent future roof leaking on the upper section, the drip rail was replaced all around the upper roof.

Mike was efficient from the time we had our first meeting. He set all expectations and there were no surprises. From project time to dumpster drop off and pick up to clean up . This was big job and it took 2 days. I was around for most of it and it was a pleasant experience! They all work very hard. Josh was supervising and did not miss a beat. He answered all questions. Marcos and his team were professional , respectful and extremely diligent. Mike runs a great company and treats his employees with respect. Looking forward to easier winters . Thank you!

[Removed Member Name], You have a beautiful home! Thank you so much for the very kind review and complements. Customers like you make doing what we do a pleasure!! Thank you also for recognizing the guys. Josh and Marcos are incredible leader. We are here for you if you need anything. Just let us know. ------Mike & Lisa & the Rhino-Back Roofing team. --- For others reading this review here are a few details from this roofing project installed on [Member Information Removed] Rd Farmington CT [Member Information Removed]. This project was in the Devonwood development performed on a beautiful large sprawling colonial home. As usual we started by stripping the existing roof down to the plywood. The roof deck was in fairly good condition, but there where several areas on the lower 1st floor roofs that where leaking, especially in the winter. We repaired those areas and in one particularly high risk area we removed some cedar clapboard siding and ran a special high viscosity ice and water shield up the wall in the transition point between the roof and the siding. After that membrane was installed we installed new wood siding to finish the area. The project also included several Velux deck mounted skylights. These where installed using the factory manufactured flashing kit. After these trouble areas where addressed we installed their high quality new roof using a classic Estate Gray architectural shingle that has a subtle but noticeable contrast between a lighter and darker gray. Jennifer's home looks amazing!

Everything was done promptly and professionally at a good price. I especially appreciated the time that was taken to explain every detail involved in stripping the old roof and installing the new roof. This company has a lot of positive reviews on Angie's List which was one of the reasons we chose them and we were very happy with the job they did. Zero complaints and lots of praise for a job well done.

This was THE smoothest contracted project we have EVER had! This company started the project well ahead of the projected date and completed it on schedule ( in one day). The materials were neatly placed on an "out of the way" location on our driveway. The night before, the dumpster was delivered exactly when it was supposed to be. The project manager came the morning of the project WITH the team, and explained everything that would happen, in sequence, throughout the project that day. This company truly works like a "well-oiled machine"! The yard was cleaned after the work was completed. What had been moved for construction purposes was put back ( ie. patio furniture, etc.). The unused roofing materials were removed, as was the dumpster, the following day. There was a person from the company who returned the following day to once again search the property for any debris that might remain after the initial cleanup the day before. The evening of the project, the team manager came back in the evening to walk us through the finished product and answer any questions/concerns we might have. There was also a phone call a day later from the owner of the company thanking us for our business and asking for feedback. Not to mention that I received a mother's day card from the company thanking us for choosing them several days before the project started.! THIS is the way customer service should be!!! THANK YOU RHINO-BACK ROOFING!!!

Mike did a great job selecting the appropriate color tiles. The timeline of the project was laid out and all deadlines were met or exceeded. The new roof sections were seamlessly matched to the existing roof--the workmanship is excellent The cleanup was impeccable. The entire team was very professional and great to work with. I highly recommend Rhino Back.

I am very happy that I chose Rhino Back Roofing to replace my roof.. From the estimate to the project's completion and follow up Rhino Back provided excellent service. Mike's informative overview of the project process and materials used was a step above his competition in terms of detail and genuine attentiveness to my questions. He also scheduled the project to meet my time schedule. The project itself was completed quickly and professionally by six of the hardest working people I have ever seen. Josh, their foreman, carefully supervised his crew and checked in with me to answer any questions I had. Indeed, Josh and Mike's affability were significant in making the project go smoothly and with a minimum of stress. At this time I am comfortable recommending Rhino Back Roofing without qualification. I think you will find that they go the extra mile to satisfy their customers.

Came as soon as possible, as the roof had a leak, crew got right to it , and they worked effiently all day . Covered the plants with tarps, and had a young lad cleaning up scraps into to the dumpster . I couldn't have asked for a better job . Right from the estimate with Mike , he took time showing me the materials, checked the attic , which none of the other roofers did. This was my best experience in all the years I have lived in this home ( 40yrs 3rd roof) I certainly would recommend , the well organized company to everyone of my friends and neighbors.
Description of Work: Striped the roof of home and garage of old roofing , replaced some boards , laid lining and then put on tiles . Also took my chimney down to roof line and rebuilt .

We decided to replace our existing roof so we contacted three local area contractors. One was more of larger company doing roofing all over CT, the other two were local guys. The larger company gave us a solid quote, but the person who came and looked at the roof was a total salesman. We had some questions about the roof that he could not answer but said he would have someone call us. The other local guy missed the scheduled time then did a drive by the house, providing a good quote, but never even talked to us. Then there was Mike from Rhino. Mike showed up on-time and was very friendly. He looked over the whole roof and even went into the attic to get a good feel for the job. He then spent about an hour taking us through the job, answering all our questions right on the spot. It was obvious he knew his stuff! Gave us outstanding advise that kept us from spending on unneeded modifications to the roof. Mike gave us a very solid quote. He was not as cheap as the larger company, but it was clear we would get an outstanding product from him and his team. I think that the other company was making up the costs on ridge vents along with some other cost cutting adjustments that Mike advised against. We took Mike's advice and could not be happier. Josh, Mikes project manager was awesome. The team showed up on-time and knocked out the job in two days and we have a big house. They were so friendly and helpful, we cannot say enough positive things about the guys. As for the roof, it looks awesome!! Mike helped us pick the color and he was spot on! We love it! 10 for 10 for Rhino-back roofing - the entire team. It was worth paying a bit more for such quality work and advice.

I was very pleased and amazed with the whole experience. Mike and team went above and beyond my expectations. Job was done on time and quality and took the time to assure all my questions and concerns were answered. Aside from been knowledgeable in roofing they demonstrated superior customer service (even interested in my feedback for improvement). I recommend them without hesitation to anyone needing his roofing service. Thanks again for a great experience and wish Rihno roofing much success in the future. Rodrigo
