Eric came out, went on my roof, took pictures & told me what the real problem was. He sent his guys out. While fixing the initial problem, they found a deeper problem. They sent pics to Eric & he got my approval to fix. I couldn't have asked for a better crew. I will always call Olsen Roofing when I have a roof problem. I love honest people!

See above. This outfit seemed disinterested and unprofessional. We did not consider giving the job to them.
Description of Work: A crew was sent to give us a price. We had no response from the owner/manger until we phoned. He seemed totally disinterested and gave a high quote on the phone. No written work estimate was given. The entire experience was unprofessional and we did not use them. We had 3 other estimates that were professionally done and chose one of them.

I telephoned the number shown here - 941-493-6903 and spoke to a woman, explained the services I sought, provided name, address, phone. She said someone would call. Nobody called. Called back the next day and spoke to the same woman, who checked her records and repeated back to me the name, address, and phone number I had left, apologized, and said someone would call. No call. Repeated a third time. No call. Gave up and called Roof Leak Patrol. They called right back, came the next day and provided an estimate, came two days later and completed the repair.
Description of Work: Did not return calls.

Response from OLSEN ROOFING
Hello [Member Name Removed], I have tried to reach you on the 630-207-XXXX number you provided to us. Your phone would not accept voice mails. The recording indicated your voice mail system was not setup. I don't know how many times you expect me to try,but I attempted four times. I'm not happy with your review of our company. Perhaps if you were more accesible, as to a working voice mail system, we wouldn't have this review. Our existing 23 reviews demonstrate that we are a reputable company. I'm happy that you were able to receive satisfactory roofing services from another company. I'm sorry we were unable to reach you with your limited communication options. James

James gave us a prompt estimate, reviewed the project with us and gave us a start date which they stuck to. The crew was extremely professional, showed up every day, cleaned up every night and did a terrific job. Eric Olsen came by frequently to oversee the operation and to make sure everything was going according to our satisfaction. I have recommended Olsen to several people already and while I hope I never need to replace the roof again in my lifetime, I would not hesitate to use Olsen again.

Husband called many different roofers. Many didnt even respond. Olsen Roofing responded promptly and came next day. We knew that the bearings on the turbine needed replacing. They ordered the part and fixed it today. Price very reasonable and hubby said they were very nice. Would definitely use again.

Wonderful experience. We're in the rainy season here in South Florida, and the roofers are all very busy. I was being told by other local roofers that it would be a week or two before they could come take a look. I was beginning to panic. Then James returned the message I'd left with Olsen Roofing just an hour earlier. As luck would have it, he was right down the street and could be at my house in a few minutes to take a look at my roof, which had leaked into the ceiling fan on my lanai during a downpour yesterday afternoon. He got up on my roof and, after a few minutes of methodical inspection, discovered the source of the leak: a protruding nail. He said that he could fix it right then and there. He put some caulk on it and said he would send someone to make the repair more permanent in a day or two. When I asked him how much I owed, he told me there was no charge for his services and there would be no charge for someone to come by and make it more permanent in a day or two. He also advised me that my roof was in otherwise great condition. When the day comes that I need a new roof, I will definitely be calling Olsen Roofing. Can't wipe the smile off my face!
Description of Work: James Bingham came by to give me an estimate and went up on my roof to see if he could determine the cause of the leak coming from the ceiling fan on my lanai. He found a protruding nail and said that he could fix it right then and there. He put caulk on it and said he would send someone to make the repair more permanent in a day or two.

Olsen roofing is wonderful. They are busy and there is a full schedule so scheduling is not quick. The project manager is very knowledgeable, answered my questions, handled insurance forms, and was available when I needed him. Once they started the project, they worked everyday, weather permitting, until it was completed. The roof is fabulous. Quality is incredible and my insurance company is happy. I'd refer Olsen roofing. Thank you!

They were totally professional and the work was above expectation. I had gotten several quotes, and some of the companies seemed very reticent to tackle the facia board problem because of the attachment to the pool cage. Olsen reassured me that it was no big deal and for them it wasn't. Not only did the roof look great when they were done, but they came back after it was done (and paid) to wrap the facia beam they replaced with aluminum, in order to have it look better. Their service was Above and Beyond. This was not in our original contract but they didn't even charge me for it. Additionally, they replaced a number of sheets of plywood where my solar panels had leaked through and their charge was extremely fair with no gouging at all. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing their roof replaced and I would definitely use them again.

It worked out very well. They were very fair and very prompt in giving us an estimate for the work. They did the work in a very timely manner. The only oddity with them was it took months for them to finally send me an invoice for the work. The work was done in May and June of 2013 and I finally got the invoice a few days ago. I guess that they were not too concerned about getting their money. I signed a contract with them and I was totally willing to pay it. Early on, I have actually sent them a couple of emails asking them, "I would like to get this cleared off my books and I am totally willing to pay it." The response that I got back via email was, "We are very busy right. We will give it to you when we get the opportunity." And it took several months.

Great job by Eric, James and entire team. A crew of ten promptly began work at 7am. - some of the men have been with the company 30 years. We got to know them pretty well, due to worst rain storms the area has seen in years causing delays. Bottom line - These are professional and bright people with exceptional customer service skills. They were impossible to argue with - they always said "no problem" or "sure" . Last step was a small punch list of minor items. The guys that showed up said they were told to do whatever the homeowner asked until he was happy. Product quality was first rate also, the new tiles have a glazed topcoat that should be far superior to the old tiles. Also, the Boral membrane seems to be a quantum leap in durability compared to the original underlayment. Final thoughts - Much better than the original roof that the builder put on. For the first time in years we don't cringe every time we hear the rains come, and that peace of mind makes me wish I had done this sooner. Also, new venting and reflective tile coating should reduce AC costs, while new procedures for securing tile and decking will reduce insurance rates. A fine job by Olsen Roofing! Thank you Eric and James!

Very well
Description of Work: We needed job done asap. and had about 10 bids for it, choose Olsen because they are very responsive and not overpriced, and did not offer more than we needed just to jack up the price. We are happy with the work done by Olsen Roofing. The response was timely, work done as promised, all questions and concerns were answered to our satisfaction. Crew cleaned up everything daily and after completion of the job. Would recommend to others.

This is truly an honorable company. During ripoff and renail, a nail hit the AC coolant line. When reported to Olsen, their response was simple. "If we caused the problem, we will have it fixed". Next morning, the problem was located and repaired. Olsen stood by their statement. this is the kind of company I want to be associated with. I am happy to provide an endorsement for their customer service, professionalism and integrity.
Description of Work: Olsen roofing performed tear off and replacement of the roof of our Venice FL home. we live in NJ and scheduling was critical as we would be in Venice during the job. The company showed up on time and completed when they said they would. The crew was respectful and professional. Work was done to specifications.
