Response from Atlanta Roofing Specialist Inc
Unfortunately, a new roof doesn't always resolve every "leak" or water intrusion issue you may have in your home. There many areas that may need future maintenance to avoid possible problems. For example, clogged gutters, deterioration of caulk and other sealants, improperly performed work of others, ect. can all cause water problems that appear to be originating from your roof. The fact is, we watch very carefully for these kinds of things and try to take care of them while we are replacing the roof but sometimes these issues aren't noticed and a problem remains even after a new roof is installed. If this happens, we are happy to send out a representative to investigate and "track down" the problem and assist you in getting the problem resolved permanently.

Based on my first experience, I had high expectations for the new roof. However, I ended up disappointed. Nail pops appeared in my ceilings. I had to hire a separate company to plaster and repaint virtually all of my ceilings. Atlanta Roofing Specialists didn’t work with me at all. They said that the crew who had worked on my home wasn’t used to it's structure. Also, the crew didn’t pick up well. My neighbors got flat tires in the following weeks. Needless to say, I wasn’t pleased with them. Also, the owner refused to speak with me directly. I had to deal with the office staff.
Description of Work: I’ve had work done by them a couple of times. When I first moved into my home, I had Atlanta Roofing Specialists install new roof boots. I was pleased with their service, so I hired them to install a completely new roof.

Response from Atlanta Roofing Specialist Inc
Nail pops in sheetrock occur most commonly when the sheetrock is nailed directly to ceiling rafters as over a vaulted area. There is no space to absorb the vibrations associated with installing a roof. There is absolutely nothing a roofing company can do to keep nail pops from occuring and we inform all of our customers of this before we start the job in a letter we send out entitled "In preparation for our arrival". Furthermore, this member was not told our crew wasn't familiar with this type of structure, most houses we work on have vaulted areas. As for the neighbors getting flat tires, we take all possible precautions to pick up any loose nails, we even run magnets around the house and yard but if we miss one and it accidentally ends up in someone's tire we gladly pay for repairs.

They did an excellent job. It was a team effort and they were very in-sync working together. My neighbors even noticed and I've referred many people to them. I had four or five cars driving by even pull over on the side of the yard and watch the teamwork that was going on. The office staff was always very nice and courteous. It was superb and I couldn't ask for a better job. The owner, Kevin King, was always professional and did a great job too.

Atlanta Roofing replaced my parents' roof, and when I mentioned getting mine replaced, my dad highly recommended them. I had them come out and provide a quote with two other companies. Atlanta Roofing was not the cheapest, but they were only $500 more expensive than the lowest bid, not enough to overcome a personal recommendation. Atlanta Roofing had to remove 2 sets of shingles and replace 10 sheets of plywood on a one-story garage and two-story house. Also installed ridge vent and removed old power vents. They also replaced the siding on our chimney. Kevin was very easy to work with, and he stood behind his work. I liked the payment terms as well - they told me that my final payment wasn't due until after I signed off on the final inspection. During the final inspection, I showed Kevin a couple of minor problems, he pulled down his ladder and just hopped up on the roof and fixed them himself. A few months later I noticed another issue: the fascia seemed to be coming loose on a short section of the roof. It wasn't easy to see from the ground, but when I climbed up to get a closer look, it appeared that the installation of some plywood caused the problems with the fascia. I called Atlanta Roofing and they sent somebody out to take care of the problem without any discussion or questions. Finally, Atlanta Roofing performed an excellent job cleaning up the site after they finished working. To date (~5 months), I haven't found a single nail that was left behind. We have two dogs who spend lots of time outside, so their dedication to cleaning up after the work was a very gratifying experience. Overall, definitely recommend giving them a chance to earn your business.

We did not ultimately go with this company.
Description of Work: We chose Atlanta Roofing Specialists from the free copy of Home Reports for Cobb County that we receive in the mail each year. We had all 5 companies that were listed in the roofing section give us quotes on replacing our roof and Atlanta Roofing Specialists gave a very competitive quote. The representative who came to our house was named Rictor Vipond and he was everything you would expect from a quality company. My husband and I were most impressed with his persistence after giving the initial quote (without being a high pressure salesman). Rictor followed up with phone calls wanting to try to make the deal work (he was one of only 2 who did so). He knew we were dealing with an insurance claim on hail damage and came down in his price to get closer to the insurance settlement. He returned phone calls and answered all questions promptly. Were we looking to simply have a roof replaced, we probably would have gone with Atlanta Roofing Specialists. We decided to go with another company who can also install vinyl replacement windows and siding, giving a price break on multiple jobs.

They nailed all the shingles and it was not machine nails but was hand nails. They were very responsive to my requests and concerns. There were times when I had questions and I was able to get a hold of the sales person even in the evening and he would return my call at the end of the day. They did a very good job because after they put the roof on, which was towards the end of May or June, we had a flood that September, and we did not have any qualms with the water. I know they did a very good job. The crew came and worked in a timely manner. They came thoroughly every day and worked efficiently. We did get a dumpster for all the old roofing materials and they made sure that the dumpster was out of our driveway within a day or two. I actually went ahead and got bids from five different roofing companies and Atlanta Roofing Specialists gave me the best price. Some of them didn't even give me a price because they wanted my insurance company first. They did deal with my concerns rather quickly. I do have a two year warranty on the work, so I would definitely use them. If I had to do it all over again and choose them, I would use them.

Our roof was damaged due to hail storms and we had the same replaced by Atlanta Roofing Specialists. They were recommended by our friends. They were very good in their job. They came in a week?s time, estimated the work and resumed the same too. They co-operated and responded well to our insurance company, as the damage was covered in our insurance. They completed the project very soon. I will surely use their services in the future.

They did the roof in 2 days - because of shoddy work on a previous roof replacement, the roofers had to replace roughly half the 4x8's. Crews worked hard, started a bit too early for the comfort of my neighbors, but put in 12+ hours days and got it done. After about 2-3 weeks, supervisor came by and did a walk around / inspection and asked if I'd any leaks or concerns. Overall, a great experience with them.
Description of Work: New roof - they were in the middle of 4 estimates. Excellent job done - somewhat of a language barrier with the crew. Pointed out problem areas with siding that I needed to have checked on.

We greatly appreciate this homeowners positive review. It is rare that someone takes the time to post a review after so much time has passed. I can't say for sure what happened on this job two years ago but TODAY we have a foreman on every job all day long. A job supervisor visits the job-site AT LEAST once a day, more if time allows. Last, a final inspection is done with the homeowner to assure everything meets our standards and the homeowner is completely satisfied!

A representative of the company came to my house, inspected the roof, and provided me with an estimate. The estimate was clearly written, detailed, and I did not pay a penny more than was listed. Three workers showed up at 6:20 am and the job was completed by 7:30 pm. The crew did a fantastic job of cleaning up after they finished. Two very minor complaints: 1) they said that the crew would start sometime between 7-9 am and they actually showed up at 6:20 am; 2) they said that their scheduling was such that they would schedule me approximately one week ahead of time (instead I was called in the afternoon and informed that they would start in the morning). These two compliants were very minor and I have already recommended this company to my neighbors. They are a very professional company and it was a pleasure to do business with them.

Worst possible service I've ever experienced. They were very responsive and quick to come out and look at the roof - they scheduled an appointment 24 hours after first call and arrived approximately January 20. They said someone would contact me to schedule an appointment. After 7 days, I contacted them and was advised I had to sign the order before I could be scheduled. I had signed the order the day they came to look at the roof. She advised she'd have to call me back. She called me back on approximately Jan 27 and advised my repair was scheduled for Feb 12. I called her back and asked for an earlier date and explained that I was trying to put my house on the market and inside repairs and painting were dependant on the outside repair. I was advised "someone" would call me back - never heard from anyone so on Feb 11 I called to confirm the appointment on the 12th. I was advised I had been rescheduled to the 15th. Again asked for a call back - never got a call back. The job was rescheduled once more and finally completed later the week of Feb 15. I would not recommend them to anyone.

I had a positive experience with them but was unable to hire them at this point. They investigated my needs for a current roof leak. They were able to identify and advise me of what I needed to have done. Their recommendation included a written estimate and a digital phone of the necessary work. They also followed up with an email. The response was positive and professional. When I can do the work, I'll call them.

After the job was done, we still had water getting into our attic. I called the company and, despite having waited 6 weeks for the first repair and having already paid for the repair, was told that I needed to wait until "they were back in our area again." It took a week of daily calls for them to prioritize our project and have someone come out to diagnose the problem. And on the day the person was to come and take a look, they never showed up and I didn't get a call to say that he was sick (I had to call and ask why no one showed up after I waited around all day). When he finally did come the next day I found out they had replaced the wrong valley on the roof and they didn't know when a crew would be available to come fix it. I called and complained again and they finally sent a crew out. After all of that, the roof was fixed properly and we have had no problems with further leaking. However, I don't think that I should have had to call so many times for them to come out and fix the problem. As a result, I don't think we will use them again.

Response from Atlanta Roofing Specialist Inc
This issue occurred during a period of frequent rain and inclement weather here in the Atlanta area. Due to the high volume of calls we were receiving, we had a full schedule for every available crew. If a leak (especially a call-back issue) is causing interior damage the job is always considered high priority and moved up on the schedule. However, this leak was contained and not causing further damage and we saw no need to put this customer in front of other customers that were getting damage. I think the important point to remember is that we came out to see what the problem was as soon as possible, took responsibility for our mistake and made the proper repairs to remedy the situation.
