Response from Academy Roofing
Thank you for taking time to review our business. We replaced your roof almost 7 years ago and have no record to date of a call regarding issues with the roof. We can understand how you would mistake the roof as the one causing the problem to your soffit and fascia. However, clogged gutters or gutters not maintained can and will back up water which causes the fascia and soffit boards to rot. This has nothing to do with the roof.

We have a leak and needed an estimate for repair and length of time for the repair. Academy Roofing was the first to respond and were able to come out and do the estimate immediately. The Repair Tech, Thomas, called me back almost immediately and was at the house within an hour. He was knowledgeable, thorough in his inspection (included pictures), and gave us a very detailed estimate. The very best part is that I didn't feel pressured at any point to make a decision. Academy has my vote based on that point alone! We still have a few more estimates scheduled, but I'm pretty sure we'll be calling Academy back.

The repair tech, Thomas, was knowledgeable and courteous. He quickly determined the roof leak issue and explained exactly what the problem was. He had replacement parts with him and was able to repair the leak on the spot. He also took a thorough look at and gave me an estimate to repair the roof over my sun room which has been continuing to leak after having another small roofing repair company do $500 worth of work only to find out that the work they did not only did not fix the leak but created more costly damage.
Description of Work: Thomas,replaced a drive boot/flashing and installed a collar around a vent pipe. The charge was $360.50 which I though was a bit high for a this quick of a fix. However, when I was calling different roofing companies to schedule a few estimates I quickly found out that top rated companies are very busy. One company I called said their next available appointment would be 3 weeks out, then I asked if they could have someone place a tarp on my roof in the meantime to prevent further damage they wanted to charge me $450.00 for just that.

Excellent job! From the initial call to the completion of the job, the company was professional and thorough. The work crew completed the job in one day, and did not leave trash behind. A special thanks to Warren, their resident expert. The entire project was overseen by him, beginning with the initial meeting with my insurance company to the follow up after the job was completed. My insurance company came by to look at the work after it was finished, and told me that the roof looked great and the company had done a great job. How often does that happen?

This was the best service ever. Friendly, helpful, and he didn't even charge me for a service call since he felt the work done already would take care of the problem. I was surely worried that there would be all kinds of charges and recommendations for additional work but this was reassuring. Highly recommended for an honest evaluation of a roofing problem and a concern for cost effectiveness.
Description of Work: When a tree limb knocked a hole in my roof which resulted in a water stain on the ceiling in my kitchen, I called Academy Roofing. John Tewelow was amazing. He had suggestions for everything from the roofing problem that I had to the squirrels that I routinely get in the attic to eliminating the stain on the kitchen ceiling. Since a friend had identified the damage and already done some repairs, I was just looking for a professional to check out the problem and make sure that I didn't need any additional work done. John surveyed the repairs already done and deemed them sufficient and as good as he would have done. While he was on the roof though he repaired a board that had fallen off the back of the chimney.

Response from Academy Roofing
Academy Roofing was contacted by [member name removed] back in early 2013 after a severe hail storm. Academy's inspector came out promptly to inspect and verify if the roof had hail damage. The roof was severely damaged. Liberty Mutual came out on April 9, 2013 and met an Academy representative and approved the roof for replacement. Academy would of gladly done any other trades like gutters or trim to increase the revenue for the job. However, the [member name removed] signed a contract for Academy to only replace the roof. As soon as [member name removed] received the first payment from Liberty Mutual and all associated paperwork was processed, Academy installed the roof on May 13, 2013. It is against the law for a company to open or file claims for a homeowner. Only the policy holder can file an insurance claim. Upon completion of the roof, Academy Roofing noted there was a difference in materials and labor used versus what Liberty Mutual initially estimated. The assigned Liberty Mutual adjuster agreed to pay the additional costs incurred. We appreciate the [member name removed] business. They were very easy to work with and paid Academy promptly. Academy Roofing has not received any call regarding quality, professionalism, or any roof leaks.

Response from Academy Roofing
Academy Roofing replaced this roof in 2008 for a little over $12,000. The customer was very understanding as the ac line was installed incorrectly and was up against the underside of the roof decking. As a result of the faulty line installation, Academy's installers punctured the line during the roofing process. Even though it wasn't Academy's responsibility, we still took care of our customer and paid to fix the line. This was extremely important as it was the middle of the summer and we didn't want our customer going without air conditioning. We strive to do everything with excellence.

Description of Work: Academy Roofing inspected my roofing and said there wasn't anything that needed to be done. They also checked the attic trying to see where the leak is coming from.

The roof looks fantastic, but there were a few issues. The workers that they brought out did leave some trash from their lunch in the front yard, which was not a big deal. We also picked up no fewer than two dozen roofing nails that had been left behind, which was a much bigger deal. Four of us combed the driveway for a good 15-20 minutes, making sure to pick up every nail. This should have been taken care of by them. They swept with a magnet, but I'm guessing that either they didn't do a thorough job or these fell off the trailer when they pulled away. There were also a few spots where nails on the roof were exposed (not covered by a shingle) and they had to come and patch those areas. They also removed several screws to detach our skylight, and not all of those screws ever made it back on. Finally, they didn't clear all of the unused construction material from our driveway, and it took several weeks to get someone back out to collect all of it. Overall, we got a great price and a nice-looking roof, but it does seem that the adage "you get what you pay for" is true here. More than anything, it was a lack of communication and a feeling that they got 90% done with everything before moving on that keeps me from giving them a high recommendation.

Academy Roofing is an excellent company to provide top notch roofing replacement. The workers are fast and efficient. They started working at 9:00 a.m. and finished at 5:00 p.m.Tarps were used to cover all major outside areas such as the porch, deck, air conditioning unit and bushes. After work was completed, the yard was cleaned of all debris and nails. I greatly appreciated all that this company has done to take care of our roofing needs.
Description of Work: On Monday, February 24, 2014, Academy Roofing replaced our roof due to manufacture defective tiles from a previous roof replacement. The owner of the company is very hands on in meeting his customers and providing a prompt proposal for work to be done when contacted to do so.

I called the company yesterday morning to get someone scheduled to come out for an inspection and quote on our new roof which we know needs replacing. The lady I spoke to said that I would hear back from someone yesterday (I called around 1030am) - I specifically discussed with her that we need someone out as soon as possible as we have a leak and want it replaced as soon as possible, and have out of town guests in. so want to make sure they are ok with coming out without someone being here, and then we can discuss once they have inspected it (we don't need to be here for them to climb on my roof. and I am giving them permission to come without us being here) - a gentleman called today to "schedule" our inspection - he said the earliest he had available was Friday and today is Tuesday - I said that is fine, but we have out of town guests in so can he be here if we are out to lunch or out doing things and we can discuss afterwards - he said he could not do that (although i was told yesterday they could, plus EVERY other roofing company is ok with that) - I don't have time to sit around all day waiting for a roofing company to finally show up and then only inspect the outside/roof. I said well unfortunately I can not commit to being here as I have guests in town, so will just work with another company that can work around my schedule/ estimate my roof without me physcially being here with them at that moment - he said "fine" and hung up. Incredibly unprofessional - I would not reccoment to any friend or family!

We apologize for any miscommunication. Our records indicate your information was taken and given to one of our top estimators. Our estimator's schedules usually do not allow for same day inspections as we service the entire Metro Atlanta area. He called the first available next business morning and reported that the prospect was moving forward with another company. Academy Roofing continues to make customer service a top priority. We would of loved the opportunity to earn your business. However, with servicing a large area like Atlanta and our service being in high demand, we can't guarantee same day inspections.

They are good roofers and they are excellent. They took off the old roof and put a new roof and they were very punctual and they did it in one day. They put a chimney top for us. They were so good. I gave them one of our telephone books with people’s names and addresses in our area so that they could contact people in our neighborhood and that’s how good they were. There was hail damage and we didn’t pay anything. They took us around to other houses to pick out colors. They are very professional and punctual. They do the job in one day. They were very friendly and professional. Their price was comparable to other companies. They quoted a price and our insurance company agreed to it and it was great.

On Wednesday (Jan 27) nobody had contacted me. I called the roof repair department again and was told that 'some repair men will be in later today to pick up your paperwork and they will give you a call'. Another week has gone by and no body called. Stay away from this company... if they can't even make a phone call to schedule an estimate/repair, then they are not capable of doing a good job. I called another major roofing company that I found on Angie's List, got a written estimate within 24 hours and am proceeding with the new company.

They are very busy so things were not perfect. They delivered the shingles, etc before they gave us a quote for the skylight. Then they said it would take a week to quote the skylight so we had them remove the shingles, etc. from the driveway. It then took several weeks before we could get the quote and then have the shingles redelivered. From then on it went smoothly except for the skylight. It proved to be a problem because the attic was so hot to work in and the length of the tube was difficult to handle particularly through our double ceiling. All in all they did a creditable job.
Description of Work: Remove old roof. Replace with 30 year architectural shingles with metal valleys. Install new roof ridge vents, remove vent fans, install new gutter screens. Install new tubular skylight in kitchen.

My painting contractor referred me to Academy Roofing for an estimate to repair the roof of a screened porch with extensive wood rot. Nick Scowley from Academy arrived fifteen minutes late but apologized. I asked him to also look over the main roof, which he quickly observed to be severely damaged from hail. I was very surprised at the extent of the damage when viewed from the roof that was not evident from the ground. Nick met the insurance adjuster a few days later, provided an estimate for repair, and I received a check a few days later. In addition to the covered repairs I requested some upgrades including ridge vents and bathroom vents. I also requested that all work to the roof over the screened porch be coordinated with the painting contractor since they were going to be replacing all siding, soffits, fascia, and trim. My first clue that the work would be substandard was when the materials arrived and some of the plywood panels were extremely warped. I asked one of the crew if they would be able to use those panels in that condition and he said yes. On day two of the repairs, the supervisor showed me water damage to the house from a lack of flashing between the porch roof and the house. I asked why they had not installed any flashing. He said it was because some siding would have to be removed. He was obviously not aware that the siding was coming off anyway and that the installation of flashing was part of the job. Nick even made a sketch of how the flashing was to be done. The paint crew was disappointed in the roof repairs because many of the joists were rotted at the ends and not usable for attaching fascia. Academy also left a half palette of leftover shingles in my driveway for almost two weeks after the job. I have to wonder if I was charged for all of those extra shingles and why there was so much overage. Finally, they never installed the bathroom vents I had requested. I called Academy several times inquiring about the omission of vents, but they would just say that they will have to call me back which they never did.

Response from Academy Roofing
Academy Roofing does many things to make sure communication is clear within our organization from the start of a project to the end. Our installers are paid to replace rotten wood so it is to their benefit to replace any rotten plywood or rafters. Our records indicate that the customer was billed and paid for a rafter replacement due to it being rotten and one rotten sheet of plywood. The warped plywood shown in the picture was not used as we returned it back to the supplier and have the supplier's receipt. Academy Roofing always makes it a top priority to make the construction project flow as smoothly as possible. As a result on insurance claims, we order more than what the insurance calculated so our installers can complete the project with minimal interruptions. I.E. leaving to pickup materials needed. We apologize that the supplier took longer than expected to pick up the additional material ordered. Academy submits material pickups as soon as the project is complete and we are not sure why it took that long for them to pick up the materials. Since this project was done, we are using another roofing supplier and are having great success with timely deliveries and pickups. Academy appreciates your business and asks that you reconsider us as your roofing contractor in the future.
