Arry's Roofing Services

Description of Work: Arry's installed a new roof on my sister's home 4 years ago and she's still happy so we went with Arry's when we needed a new roof. Very happy with the work they did! Arry's was the only one (out of 3 estimates we obtained) that included installing a new ridge vent (original roof had 4 small boxes for ventilation) for proper ventilation. They are a Master Elite installer and we were able to purchase a 25 year materials & labor warrantee through the manufacturer (GAF) and it's 100% transferable. They were a little more expensive but they were worth it and I know the work was done correctly.

Description of Work: Bought Angie deal for $299 to inspect and repair roof. I believe I could have gotten the same results w/ a free estimate. They promised to contact me with follow-up to go over results. I received an email saying: Coat roof, no warranty. That's it. We called to discuss. Left message, no one returned call. Left another message, no call returned. Called again and reached a roofer who said they do NOT recommend coating. He was on a roof at the time, but never called back. |Finally, we called again and said if they didn't recommend coating, what did they recommend? They sent out a roofer to estimate a new roof at $17,000. |Other estimates I now have indicate a new roof is not necessary. |Summary: Not responsive, not coordinated, and a questionable recommendation for a new roof. $299 wasted.

Description of Work: Came to look at a problem with a flat room on our lanai. Thought we would need to replace the roof, but the rep from the company told us there was no structural damage and no need to do anything . We were very pleased with the honesty and professionalism.

Description of Work: They repaired a leak on our roof.

Description of Work: Reroofing shingle tiles. | |Arry's roofing employees were courteous, professional and had the best reputation on the market. I had 4 different estimates from 4 different roofing contractors and although Arry's was not the cheapest, they were the best overall value. They were always on time and took care of all the paperwork. They finished the job in one day and I couldn't find any evidence that they were even there except for having a beautiful brand new roof. I strongly recommend them for all your roofing needs.

Description of Work: Arry's did a complete roof using the GAF roof system. Arry's worked with us to get the roof we wanted at the best price any of others we had contacted. Their installers were courteous and extremely neat cleaning up each day before they left.

Description of Work: .

Description of Work: Mistook Arry's for another roofing company at first, so updating with appropriate review to replace previous negative feedback. Will be contacting Arry's in the future for any roofing work needed.

Description of Work: Arry's did an excellent job replacing our old roof! The price was somewhat higher than other bids, but the quality of materials and workmanship was worth it. There was significant rot to some of the facia and soffits. Arry's carpenter removed the damaged wood and skillfully rebuilt the areas, leaving a caulked and ready-to-paint surface. They finished in one day and cleaned up completely when they were through. The man who delivered the shingles commented on the quality work this company does and even said, "You won't know they were ever here after they leave." True, except for our beautiful new roof... Thank you Arry's Roofing!

Description of Work: repaired 2 leaking valleys on our roof in Clearwater. great job both times

Description of Work: Did minor roof leak stop for nothing.

Description of Work: We called this company for an estimate and they did come out in a timely fashion and did in fact show up early. The estimate we received was a bit ridiculous with regard to price and assessment of the problem. We have a small leak in the roof that has caused some minor discoloration on the ceiling drywall. This is located near the chimney so the consensus was that the chimney was to blame. The technician came out and seemed nice enough and did his evaluation. At the end of the evaluation he handed me an estimate of about $1500 for fabrication and replacement of the outer cap, not the chimney cap. He stated that it was " too small for the chimney". Also he stated the the vent on the chimney was missing the cap, actually he said it was broken off and the the stucco would have to be dug out and the entire assembly must be replaced. None of this work would be under warranty and when I questioned him about that he stated he could put a 1 year warranty on it but did not amend the estimate to reflect that. Also he mentioned that the nail pops, and vent assembly would be $65 / hr but did not give a firm number. Also he seemed in a hurry to leave and did not give an overall assessment of the roof as we asked the company to do. So I called our chimney sweep who does these chimney repairs. He stated the the cap was no issue( by the way he did not install it so no conflict of interest there). He also stated that at most a new cap which he said we did not need, would only cost $700 or so. The chimney sweep fixed what chimney issues we had for about $100 total and sealed around the base of the chimney to assure that there are no leaks at the base as well as replacing the missing cap, which only needed a cap not an entirely new assembly. I still need a good honest roofer to repair nail pops but I feel that had I not been a prudent consumer I would have been completely duped by this gentlemen. Even if it was not an estimate out of malice or greed then it appears at a minimum it was one out of incompetence! Be careful people, just because it has a good rating here does not mean you can let your guard down!

Description of Work: Prompt, friendly service. Every contact was easy to work with and responsive to requests for information or help. The work was done exactly as promised. Cleanup was completed.

Description of Work: Received a fair bid, prompt and professional. Unfortunately, we chose another company of the 3 bids we received from Angies List. Was a hard decision, all had good numbers.

Description of Work: ROOF HISTORY: Our home was built in 1960 with a concrete tile roof. In 1993, when we bought the home as the second owner, we removed the tile roof and put on shingles. Considering the shingle roof was 19 years old (although we didn’t have any leaks), we felt it was time for a new roof. By the way, we felt lucky we had a shingle roof for 19 years; however, the original shingle roof contractor, Albritton, was supposed to cut ridge vents over our roof and over the study. However, they did not cut the vent, but provided a ridge to look like a vent! Now we know why our study was so hot. On Dec 6, 2011, we contracted with Triple Crown for $23,226 for a new metal roof with PBR Roofing Panel (Commercial grade), 26 gauge, to include the PBR interlocking gutter. THE COMPETITION: I contacted ten (10) contractors, but I will talk about the final seven as they were the most viable. Most importantly, once we decided the material (Gulf Coast Supply & Manufacturing, LLC, 4020 SW 449th Street, Horseshoe Beach, FL 32648), I talked with them for recommended sources. This proved to be the good decision. FINAL CONTRACT: One item that I required in the contract was that all contractors have an I-9 for each employee. The purpose of the I-9 is to document that each new employee (both citizen and noncitizen) hired after November 6, 1986, is authorized to work in the United States. We also specified 150 mph winds, requested three (3) references, and the wind mitigation form for our insurance company. Finally, I wanted the contractor to sign “my contract” or sign his contract with all my specifications. I contacted the Better Business Bureau (BBB), Angie’s List, St. Petersburg City, Pinellas County and FL State to verify license, insurance and complaints. The companies that visited our home and we had negotiations are: KBS Metal Roofing Supply, LLC; Owens Roofing Contractor, Inc.; Green Roofing Technologies, Inc.; Tosca Roofing; Arry’s Roofing Services, Inc., FL Southern Roofing and Sheetmetal, Inc.; and Triple Crown Roofing KBS Metal Roofing Supply, LLC only provided the material, but no labor; therefore, we eliminated them in the beginning as we did not want to put the roof on ourselves. Owens Roofing never responded with a quote or proposal even after repeated reminder phone calls. This was unusual as the economic times are very difficult right now. Green Roofing sent over Robby Brown to meet with us and he had no knowledge of metal roofing. Unfortunately, it was a waste of our time. However, the next meeting was with Kelly Jackson, their metal roofing expert. He provided us a wonderful detailed specification and bid on a Gerard Lifetime Roof, but it was not the Galvalume as we wanted. Kelly worked very h****** a second quote, but he never provided me a second quote. I also never received the three references. Also, they do not do gutters. They also wanted to provide Drexel Material which we hear is excellent, but we had decided on Gulf Coast. Labor warranty was five years. BBB rating was A- and 2 complaints in 3 years (Product and Services); Angie’s List had no listing. License and insurance checked out ok. Tosca was the least expensive, but they could not do the gutters and the owner did not want to sign my contract. They were a very good contractor and Edel Travieso seemed very honest and forthcoming. Labor warranty was five years. BBB rating was A+ and 2 complaints in 3 years (Prod/Serv & Warranty), Angie’s List rating was a “B” with 2 Reports (1 "F" and 1 "A"). License and insurance checked out ok. Florida Southern Roofing was one of the top three contracts I considered. They were the second highest bid. I believe this is because they have more overhead than a small business. I tried to negotiate a lower amount, but they could not give on the price. They said we got their best price in the beginning. Their estimator, Mark Mazer, was very detailed and extremely honest. I had several technical questions that we had to contact Randy Finch (Operations) and he also was very helpful. They offered a labor warranty of 10 years. BBB rating was A+ and 3 complaints in 3 years (mainly Products), Angie’s List had no reports, but they were listed. License and insurance checked out ok. Arry’s Roofing Services, Inc. was our second place contractor. Unfortunately, they were the highest bid. However, you could see the quality in their bid by their thoroughness. Jayson Hansel and Mattew Housh were superb. Matter of fact, Mr. Housh really—I mean really—tried to work with me and gave me almost $6,000 off! BBB rating was A+ and 2 Complaint in 3 years, Angie’s List is “A” with Angie numerous comments that reported mainly "A", but a few "D"s & "F" regarding 2 or 3 roofs leaks. License and insurance checked out ok. Triple Crown Roofing was the second lowest contractor. This company impressed me the most! It was a small business with only four or five employees. The Foreman, Mike Royal, visited with us by himself. He was very impressive. He didn’t have any fancy folders or glossy sheets except from Gulf Coast. He talked with us to understand the job and how he would approach the performance to our satisfaction. He even recommended wrapping our pipe vents with Galvalume before applying the boots. Little precautionary items made us feel he really knew roofing. Mr. Royal also stated they would “beat any price”. We eventually met with Mike Royal and the Owner, Leon Nault. Again, we were impressed with their message and their work ethic. Mr. Nault was extremely honest and willing to do anything we wanted. Matter of fact, one small note is that we were going to add ventilation fans and a ridge vents. However, Mr. Nault warned us that using these both together with the size our home would probably not work (Florida Southern and Arry’s eventual told us this also, but Triple Crown caught it right off). BBB had no listing, Angie’s List had no reports, but they were listed. I did have one problem in researching their performance. When I called the Pinellas County, I found that his license had expired on May 26, 2009 (Triple Crown was notified on May 12, 2009 and all the permit offices were notified on June 24, 2009). Once pursuing this with Mr. Nault, he stated that he let the license expire since he does not have much business in Pinellas County. He stated that it would not be a problem to renew his license. He did renew the license and his insurance checked out ok. I received 13 references from Triple Crown. This is what sealed the deal. I think Nr. Nault was surprised because I called all 13 contacts. “All” the references could not say enough about the professionalism, thoroughness, quality of work, and pricing. In conclusion, I would not hesitate to contract with Triple Crown Roofing, Arry’s Roofing Services, Inc. and Florida Southern Roofing. Tosca was also on my final list, but more negotiations/research would have to be done. THE TECHNICAL RESEARCH ON SPECIFICATIONs FOR OUR ROOF: My husband is a professional engineer so he did research on the technical specifications. I know we were going to get a “grey” galvalume color, but after he did his research he decided white for the UV protection. Also, we applied a Polyglass Underlayment Membrane (Polystick TU plus) and the roof insulation was Covertech rFoil Reflective, double bubble double foil 5/16 with aluminum tape. We had battens installed and we brushed them with Borax to prevent termites. We also used the Lifetime Warranty WoodMAC Screws.

Description of Work: Called them to come find and repair a leak in my roof. It did take a while to get them out because of back up with customers. The secretary did call me when she had a cancellation to move my appointment up earlier. They came out made up the proposal. It took about two and a half weeks for them to come and do the work , but Matthew came on time in fact he was earlier . He searched the attic and immediately found the leak ( three other roofing companies came out and could not find the leak). He explained exactly what the problem was and how he would fix it. He was here about two hours and he was finished. He was very pleasant , professional and got right to fixing the leak. I will diffidently use them again.

Description of Work: Very professional. Came promptly. Went on the roof and inspected the minor problems. Came down and gave an estimate. Did the work on the spot and charged a reasonable price.

Description of Work: Called for an estimate, was told they do not service Hillsborough county even though there ad says ALL areas

Description of Work: Gave estimate to reshingle roof. Was prompt and gave estimate, but was highest of three companies we requested estimates from.

Description of Work: Estimator arrived on time, on scheduled day. I provided him with written specifications of what I wanted done to repair my roof. He did a thorough and professional job of estimating precisely what I requested and answered all of my additional questions professionally. He was one of three bids I was getting and the only reason he didn't get the job was that his prices were more than 20% higher than the contractor I selected.

Description of Work: I called Arry's Roofing for some roof repair; left a message, my name and phone#. No one ever called me back, so I found someone else to do the job.
