Response from J K Behan General Roofing, Inc
Thanks for the nice review, we don't solicit reviews, but it is nice when my customers feel motivated enough to write one. This customer had a tough chimney problem and had many futile repair attempts made by other roofers, but we did get it back to par. The high temperatures made it difficult, Florida is HOT in August, if you didn't already know that! Again, we go out of our way to do a good job with all our customers. It is difficult to get to everyone after the hurricane we had in October, so be patient. All the roofers are busy... wait a while if you can, it will slow down soon, wait for a good roofer if possible, you know who they are. It's great when I get a review from a real customer, I have had a few reviews from people I didn't even talk to or may have told them we don't do townhouses, etc. Those are the ones who try to punish with a bad review, they must be very angry people.

We were delayed on a previous job before we could get to this member, it may have been weather or some wood damage that postponed our arrival. The member was accommodating and we started a bit later than originally thought, we replaced damaged plywood and supporting wood at the eave, installed new shingles. Overall the job came out great, results do matter

Description of Work: I looked at different roofers on the job. I noticed some houses took months to complete and Behan seemed to take a week to 3 weeks. A little on the high side for price but I did have 5 skylights replaced. The roof was done in 2000. NOTE:The approximate date does not go back to the year 2000. I've had no problems and have gone through a number of hurricanes'. They we're great to work with. Team Behan thanks for the great job.

I saw only a couple of reviews that had some negativity. I've been in the contracting business for 45 years and I can assure you Jim Behan has more integrity and knowledge of his business than one could hope for. He manages a great crew, respectful of the homeowner, his property, etc. I would recommend him to anyone I know, friends and family alike. If your looking for a source make sure you talk to Jim if you want a really dependable contractor. No short cuts, he makes sure you get a really quality job.
Description of Work: Complete roofing job. Ended up with great looking roof , good warranty and I am very satisfied with the workmanship.

The flat roof in the leak area was removed and repaired also the adjacent tile was removed and the underlay was sealed and tiles were replaced and painted..This was a tricky repair because of the location that required two visits, However Jim was patient and did a great job..
Description of Work: Jim has done work for me on several occasions in the past and I have always been very satisfied. This occassion was a leak repair on the edge of a flat roof behind the guttter close to the point the flat roof meets with the roof tile.

Jim scheduled the initial quotation meeting promptly and arrived on time. He correctly pointed out a difficult flashing situation that other contractors glossed over and provided a detailed record of previous jobs for me to review. The quote was mid-pack but his commencement time was the soonest. His knowledge and experience made me comfortable with accepting the offer. Work began on time and went on schedule for the most part. The crew showed up every day on time. There was a one day delay in the shingle delivery, but in fact only a half day was lost because the crew worked on a Saturday to make it up! The house was always left water-tight and several hard rains including a severe thunderstorm during the process proved it. The major debris was removed daily, although the crew was chased off the roof twice by thunderstorms and were unable to clean up completely on those days. A nail sweep of the lawn was preformed regularly and followups by myself with a borrowed magnet have found only a few missed nails. I am completely satisfied with the end product and would recommend this company without hesitation.
Description of Work: Approximately 57 square shingle re-roof: Strip the old shingles, re-nail the sheathing to current code, re-flash gable ends, apply waterproof membrane, replace all hoods and vents, replace drip edge and refasten gutters, new shingles, and new ridge vents.

Rarely does a homeowner experience the pleasure of finding an organization that effects repairs in such a professional manner and at a realistic price. Jim Behan, the owner, provided the original ballpark estimate based on labor, materials and expenses incurred instead of a fixed price. As a pleasant surprise, final cost was less than the estimate. Then Chris and Rob performed the work under Jim's initial guidance. A lot of tear out and replace that was handled expertly by both technicians. Jim returned and inspected the job, did some touch up of the drip line to shingle caulking as a preventative measure, and then thanked me for the business. A nice touch in this day and age. I would highly recommend J. K. Behan for any roofing needs from repair to full replacement.
Description of Work: Over time the cedar fascia failed in several areas due to water seepage from under the drip line and needed replacing along with isolating and eliminating the source and repairing any structural members similarly damaged .

They missed the first estimate appointment with no contact or reason why. It was a rainy day but a call would have been appreciated. Estimate was to replace 5 missing/broken tiles using foam to seal to the roof and patch the end of tiles with cement. I was shocked at $850 for this effort! Reading other reviews I knew they would be a higher but I can't get the material and labor to come close to $850. Even if the tiles cost $25 each (can't imagine) and a small amount of cement was high at $25 that leaves $700 to cover an hour of labor and profit and is less than fair. While the estimate process was very professional once they arrived I can't imagine paying someone $850 to replace $50 worth of material and will continue to shop for a fair price for the same quality work.
Description of Work: Requested an estimate to replace 5 broken/missing tiles and add 5 feet of missing cement to the side of roof tiles. No sky lights, hard to reach places or complex tasks.

Response from J K Behan General Roofing, Inc
First, we had a rain event from Isaac, very similar to T.S. Fay, in that it rained all day, no letting up. The customers said there was no leaks at all, just tile out of place, broken, or missing. I rescheduled the appointment for a day later that week. Looked at items they were concerned about, but could not get on the SECOND STORY without fall protection due to the 10/12 PITCH, (to those who don't know, that's very steep) I just had to look from the balcony and the ground to see what I could. To send my employees into a dangerous situation takes more time and labor, I hope the customer finds someone to do those repairs, but I can't do tile repairs cheap, especially tough ones. I charge what I think I can do it for and a profit. yes, I am in business to make a profit. If customers want a repair done professionally, with a guarantee, it is not going to be cheap. If customers are looking for cheap, that is not me. I will try to remind customers of that before I look at their problems. Professional roofing contractors are going to "price it right to do it right". Remember the old adage" you get what you pay for".

An inspection to determine remaining roof-life was necessary to obtain home insurance. Scheduling and completion of the task were most responsive to our time-sensitive needs. The results of the inspection were documented and even delivered in person to us, which was most helpful. We were surprised and pleased, and would certainly call upon this company again should the need arise.
Description of Work: Promptly completed a roof inspection on a recent home purchase.

No Information on this guy, I use a computer to do my proposals and save everything, I did no proposal for him. This is the second bogus report I have gotten. You need to qualify this type of report, I treat ALL customers with respect, if a customer is interested in work we don't do, I tell them up front. April 7, 2012 I was working with the guys on 901 South Palm Ave in Indialantic (all day), Had my wife Karen bring us lunch from Charlie and Jakes I would appreciate a follow up from the folks at Angie's List

they were very professional . Each day when I came home, the yard was left neat and clean. Mr Behan explained everything to me and even did a little extra by sanding down the walk way in front so I could open my screen door more easily. I was extremely satified with their work and would recommend them.

I called on Tuesday and received the estimate on Friday; the work crew arrived at 8:30 AM on Monday, completing the job by 12:30 PM. The crew worked efficiently and did a good clean-up after the work. While it hasn't rained since the repair was made (the ultimate test), my inspection of the work from both outside and inside indicate that the repair was professionally done. I will amend this report if subsequent rain proves me wrong. (Should that happen, the company provides a one-year repair guarantee.)
Description of Work: Removed approximately 70 sq ft of ceramic roofing tile and 40 sq ft of de-laminated/damaged plywood underlayment, replacing and sealing the underlayment, roofing fabric and tiles.

One day while putting laundry a closet, I heard a leak. I could not believe it. I called up JK Behan. He diagnosed the problem as being related to a vent from our oven. He gave an estimate of $200. The next day, he replaced the roof vent and recaulked and also recaulked other vents on the roof. He manner was courteous, his estimate spot on. He came when he said he would. He even gave us a way to clean the stained ceiling.
Description of Work: He replaced the flashing on oven vent and recaulked other vents to make sure the leak was repaired and that other leaks did not develop.

I know how expensive roofs are, especially a tile roof installed with urethane foam adhesive, but the wind rating is approx 140 mph when done correctly. The guys are very thorough in the application. There was also a flat roof that had exposed beam construction (roof decking was also the ceiling inside). this required the tapered insulation, used to achieve positive slope, had to be installed with a foam adhesive (different adhesive from the tile), and a three ply modified bitumen roof system roof covering. this roof will last a life time !

If you need a good quality roof at a great price go with JK Behan. Not only were their prices competitive their service and professionalism was OUTSTANDING as well as their quality of work. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone! Mr. Behan met with us before and after the work on our new roof was completed to answer any questions and to ensure that we were satisfied. This is unlike many contractors who simply leave a bill attached to the front door. They took great care to keep the area around my home tidy during their work and cleaned up nicely when they were finished. I had just put in new landscaping prior to the new roof and they took care not to damage it. I have to say this was one of my best contracting experiences to date.

The Member had a nice job, it was not too steep, easy to shingle. We used Certainteed Landmark shingles. I feel they have great shingles, uniform in size and quaility, good warranty. They had a couple of tube skylights, which we re-used. I had a customer, who found us on Angie's List, ask if we had employees or someone write these reviews. Absolutely not. I do ask that if the customer found us there, to put in a review if that suits them. We treat our customers as we would want to be treated. Good work, fair price, always helps with our referrals, which is 80 to 90% of the work we get. Jim Behan

Response from J K Behan General Roofing, Inc
The metal roofs on three dormers were replaced because the old ones were rusted through, we used a 24ga Galvalume panel to replace a standard 26 ga galvanized panel. the dimensions of old and new panels were the same, we used the old design. the difference was in the old panels had been coated numerous times with aluminum roof coating in an attempt to save the roof (doesn't work). We also added new lead flashings where the metal panels terminate at a tile roof section, The lead flashing above the metal panels was there previously and replaced. A new lead flashing was added below the metal panels, under the drip edge, and over the adjoining tile. Although it was not there previously, it is the proper flashing detail. I explained this to Member on completion. He asked we trim it back to be less visible, which we did. Although I was at his home twice before we started, and I was there personally for the four days we were doing the work, I never even met Member until we were done. Although I prefer to meet with the customers face to face when doing the initial proposal, at least during the job, sometimes people have busy schedules and it is difficult to do. I am available almost any time, even on the weekends if customers need that extra time to meet and go over the details. I always forward my office phone to my cell whenever the office is closed, so I am considerably accessible. I do appreciate the feedback, and will look at making changes in our proposal process, most likely making customer participation a prerequisite

We have a 55 year old house that had an existing shingle on shingle roof. During heavy rains it leaked in numerous places. We decided to replace the roof with asphalt shingles. Behan Roofing was recommended by a friend and was the 3rd roofer we interviewed. Even though he was not the lowest bid, we decided to give him our business due to his forthrightness in explaining what was best for our house, he provided a book full of references and his longevity in the roofing business in this area. At the intial meeting he gave us 2 quotes. One for asphalt shingles and another for torch down. The shingle quote included 3 options for underlayer at different pricing. We also asked for a quote on soffit replacement which he emailed to us later that night. He was the only roofer to recommend an additional layer of plywood over our tongue and groove decking. This improves the integrity of the roof as well as smoothes out the bumps and bulges from the addition joints. His crew showed up and spread tarps all around the house for demolition. These tarps kept the debri to a minimum in our yard, driveways and side walk. The performed the job in the time estimated, were curteous and happy to explain the process as well as identify the structural problems with the roof. My wife and I both went up daily to inspect the damage as well as the repair work. The repair work was done to Miami/Dade code. It took about 4 work days to strip, repair, re-soffit and shingle the roof. After all work was complete, we only found 3 or 4 nails around the property. Last time we had a roof redone we found nails for months. The final price exceeded the estimate by about $800 due to repair of the roof and soffits. There was a significant amount of rotten wood and this seemed a fair price. The workmanship is excellent and our roof looks very nice. He gave us folder with our warranty information, release of lien, pictures of the work as well as a CD with pictures at every stage of the work. We are completely satisfied with Behan roofing. So much so that we gave him more business to put fish scale siding on the front gable.
Description of Work: Removed old roofing material. Repaired wood damage to 55 year old roof. Added a new layer of plywood, then peel-n-stick. Replaced all the soffits and then laid down a 3 tab shingle roof.
