To complete this work Champion Roofing had to work around/with a carpenter, a painter, and a landscaper who we independently contracted to complete work beyond Champion's contract. They were always professional, courteous, very exact in their paperwork and billing, and willing to listen and work with us, to the point of rescheduling several work days to enable us to figure out how to integrate a rain barrel into the drainage system. I would highly recommend this company as they helped us through several weeks of agonizing work and decisions.
Description of Work: Champion Roofing did a complete tear-down of our roof, which had three layers of asphalt shingle and a cedar shake substrata beneath that. They then replaced the roof with premium shingles. They also replaced our old aluminum gutters with copper, and did some copper drip edge work and chimney flashing. There was some custom work as well on roofing surface over our back stairs.

I received a written estimate within days after I called. Their price was significantly less than the other 4 estimates I received. They came out within 2 weeks. I was very pleased with how quick and neat they were. I found maybe 5 nails on my property. Everything else was cleaned up perfectly. They were able to complete the job in one day. I definitely made the right choice.

David responded to my initial call immediately, made an appointment and delivered a bid in a timely way. I had several conversations with him to clarify things for us, so we could compare his bid to others. He was always very responsive. When I contacted him to do the job, he told me he was working on another job and depending on the weather, he would call in a week to give me a starting date. This he did and began at the time he committed to. We are very satisfied with his work. The only problem we had was with the dump truck that he hired to hall away the debris - it left a significant oil spill on our driveway. We will be calling David to see if he can clean it up.

The tuck pointing was somewhat inconsistent (i.e. mortar color varied on the same wall) but the aluminum work was great. I felt David Friedman was very responsive when I changed the scope of work, he created new estimates and came out to look at work a number of times. Good follow through on paperwork and returned phone calls quickly.

Champion roofing was very professional. They provided a speedy quote and I spoke directly with someone about all of the work required. He sent me the quote in writing, outlining all the work that would be performed. Because some of the work needed to be done in conjunction with a plumber, they worked directly with the plumbers and came on the same day to ensure all repairs would be done properly. The work was done efficiently and so far appears to be high quality (no more leaking). After the work was done, we received a thank you note from the company! Great customer service.
Description of Work: Performed repairs on roof, including adding flashing around chimney, new mushroom vents, and flashing around plumbing vents.

They were FANTASTIC! David was personable, punctual, and kept me up to date on scheduling as the rainy days delayed a roof before mine. He responded quickly to all of my questions, whether over the phone or email. He explained the how and why and never insulted my intelligence (I'm female). The crew arrived on time, worked diligently & without unnecessary noise, & cleaned up everything. They covered one unused access panel, completely rebuilt the cover for the other, removed an unused pipe that protruded through the roof, removed an old TV antenna & tuckpointed some small venting holes in the exterior wall at my request. There was no add'l charge for these or the add'l decking or tuckpointing they performed up on top. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again.
Description of Work: They did a complete tear-off and re-roof of my Evanston 2-flat, including repair of deteriorated decking & tuckpointing of parapet walls as needed. They installed 1/2" fiber board insulation to the deck, then installed a 43# base sheet, over which they installed single ply modified bitumen roofing, heat-welded to itself, then applied an aluminum coat for additional protection. They installed new 24 gauge galvanized perimeter flashings where necessary and caulked the top. They secured all permits and removed all debris.

I submitted a request on their web site to have someone call me for an estimate which happened promptly. Then they told me they did not have a tall enough ladder to look at my house and someone else would call, which happened later that day. So far so good. Then that "estimator" had to re-schedule three times; with each time taking up an afternoon of my time from work sitting and waiting. Finally, after the 3rd time of not showing up, I cancelled. When I called, they insisted that's NOT how they do business; nevertheless, the experience was a joke and I have begun calling others on the LIST who can hopefully at a minimum show up when they say they will for an estimate.

The sales representative, David, is wonderful to work with. He answered all of our multitude of questions, is very articulate, and spent as much time as we needed to make sure we were comfortable with our decisions. He was present off and on throughout the day of the labor (it took one day to do all of the work.) The workers were very professional, worked patiently to accommodate requests from our neighbors about their yards (our homes are close together), and cleaned up beautifully. We love the way the roof looks, and so far, after several months & lots of rain, the leak still seems to be fixed! They were about $1000 cheaper than our other 3 bids, but no sacrifice in quality. I highly recommend them. We have referred them to friends who have also been satisfied with the work they had done.
Description of Work: Called them to assess an ongoing problem with a leak that was coming through into the house. They offered an option for a patch job to fix the roof, but after weighing alternatives, we decided to have the entire roof done for our home and our detached garage. There was absolutely no pressure on their part to choose this option. They tore off the old roof, put on new architectural shingles & adjusted the gutters to address the leak problem.

work done in a timely manner and to our time schedule. Minor problems/communication error on garage siding. Sub-contractor brought wrong color trim, but caught in time so he didn't have to take it off to re-do it. Unfortunately, he was probably not able to return the wrong materials. We also had problems with the TV antenna not being hooked up after the roof, but the installer came out and worked on it until the problem was solved.

David arrived for estimate on time, and was patient in answering all my questions and kept me informed throughout the entire process. The estimate was in line with other roofing company's but Angie's List convinced me to go with Champion and it was the right choice. The foreman and his team were fast, friendly, and completely cleaned up- not a nail found!
Description of Work: Complete tear-off of 4 layers, including original wood shingles, and all new gutters. Installed plywood over spaced decking, ice protection, flashing, and vents. They even installed pigeon spikes that I provided. They also re-shingled garage and small cellar roof.

I chose Champion because they replaced my roof and my experience with them was very positive. David coordinated the job, and was very courteous and professional. All the work, including the estimate, was done without anyone at home- a plus for working people. The foundation and porch pillars look fantastic. I would definitely recommend them.

The work was completed in a timely manner. The workmen were polite, and neat - they even wore booties over their shoes when they came into the house. They left the area clean and neat.

While I didn't end up choosing Champion Roofing in the end, dealing with them was a very pleasant experience. I called one day and an estimator, David, came over the next day. He was very professional and explained everything. Within two days I had a complete written estimate (very fair price). If I weren't already working with a general contractor who offered this work at a similar cost, I would probably have given Champion Roofing my business. It appears their good reputation here on Angie's List is well earned.

This is a very competent group of guys. The manager, David Friedman, did an excellent job of diagnosing the issue and presented a cost-effective bid. This gutter repair job was combined with a second bid, which was to tuckpoint the south wall and repair the adjacent parapet wall. There will be a second report on the tuckpointing job.
Description of Work: Champion replaced the scupper box located where the gutter drainage begins on the roof just below the third floor. The old scupper box (this is what binds the gutter to the roof?) was badly worn and had been repaired numerous times by previous owners -- basically a patch job. This problem was that the aperture for the gutter/scupper box had become unnecessarily small through these various repairs. It was a huge issue for our condo association because water that wasn't able to pass correctly through the gutter was causing significant damage in two lower condo units. Champion also replaced the downspout which was badly damaged. Fortunately David Friedman, the manager at Champion, was able to figure out that a faulty scupper box was responsible for the ugly leaks in our condo units -- a couple of very nasty leaks. Six other vendors came out and looked over the water damage in the units but none of them correctly diagnosed the problem. What a relief!

Champion responded the next day to our estimate request and quickly set up an appointment. The estimator arrived on time and faxed us the estimate that evening. The estimate was in line and slightly below the others we received. My only complaint is that they did not give us any lead time for the repair work. They called one morning and said, ''We're coming out to repair your roof.'' Both my husband and I were at work - 24 hours advance notice, would have been nice. (Given the heat wave, Champion had to cancel some of their larger jobs, so they tried to fit us in, since the repair work was not as intensive). The crew was professional - they completed the repair work in about 3 hours and took pictures of the roof so we could show our condo association. Can't speak to the quality, but we didn't have any leaks given last night's heavy rain. Champion indicated we could call if there were any further issues.
Description of Work: Champion performed repair work on the flat portion of the roof of our 3-flat condo, including silver coating the roof.

My experience (though limited to an estimate) was excellent. David came exactly as promised and did a thorough personal inspection. He was courteous, and his opinions were thoughtful and professional. His estimate was prompt, extremely detailed, beautifully presented and fair in price. Above all, he was honest enough to suggest I hire another contractor for my carpentry work. Although he was willing to work with a carpenter of my choice, I chose not to attempt that kind of "balancing act" and went with another firm. But for less intricate jobs, Champion would be great.
Description of Work: I needed roof replacement plus repair to eaves on an historic three-story house and two-story coach-house. Although I did not select Champion, they deserve very high marks for their service. They were prompt, courteous and reasonable in price, but most important, HONEST enough to say that my carpentry was more involved than they felt comfortable doing. I would recommend them to others.

We contacted two Angie's List roofers when our roof sprang a leak. Champion was not the first to get back to us, but David Friedman did call us within several days. He arranged to come by for an estimate very quickly, and he arrived when he said he would, with his estimator, whom he was training. He was business-like and courteous, and he faxed us his bid within a day. His bid was lower than another bid we solicited, but that is not the only reason we hired him. We had several specific questions about our job, and he provided clear and reasonable explanations for each of his choices, convincing us that he knows his business. The work was scheduled quickly. The crew showed up as scheduled, and the roof was replaced in a single day. The work on the gutters was accomplished in just a few hours several days later. Both crews were efficient and courteous. Both crews left our property neat and clean and all of our landscaping intact.
Description of Work: They removed two layers of old roofing and installed a new shingle roof; replaced a section of gutter on house; repatched a part of the gutter on house and added an additional downspout; repatched gutters of garage and cleaned them.
