Trela Roofing and Remodeling came to my home and installed an attic fan and it has been cold since it was installed so I don't know how it works. I wish the terms of the deal were a little more clearly stated.

Coming home from work one day I was surprised to see a pool of water on my new kitchen floor and a 1x1ft section of my ceiling falling down. My 1950's house still had the original kitchen ceiling vent which must have been leaking during the Feb storm that passed through. Wanting to have this entire situation fixed while being hands off I contacted a few roofing companies, Trela Roofing being one of them. Ryan came out to do the estimate and he listened to what I wanted to do rather than offering a fix or workaround. Because of this and a reasonable price I hired him to do the work. The plan was to take out the original ceiling vent, duct work, exterior vent and replace it by using my microwave exhaust and installing new ductwork through the cabinet, into the attic and through the roof using a new vent. The crew did all this and put up new ceiling drywall, taped, and sanded within 2 days. Ryan's foreman and contractor did a great job and took their time to make sure the first time something was done it was done right. The quality and timeliness were impressive and allowed me to get back to work knowing that everything was done right. Definitely would hire Trela again.
Description of Work: Per the estimate: Remove and replace trap style roof vent on house. Remove and replace pipe from microwave oven to trap vent with insulated type piping. Remove old ceiling exhaust fan. Install 5/8 inch drywall to repaired kitchne ceiling area. Drywall to be attached with screws. Tape all seams. Install 2-3 aplications of drywall compound, with sanding between applications. Prepare surface for primer and paint.

From my own assessment, it seemed the water in the closet had to be coming from the roof, so I set out to find a company for repairs. Trela was my first call based on other reviews on Angie's list. Its so nice to have a overall superior experience to report!! From start to finish, I give Trela Roofing an "A." I received a prompt call back from Robert the company owner with a thorough discussion of my issue. I had an onsite assessment and estimate within four business days and a team on site within another ten days. WIth record rain this Spring season, roofing work is challenging to schedule and complete in wet or windy conditions. Trela did their best to schedule my job, given that I had an active leak. A reoccurence of the leak will be the ultimate test, but based on my iexperience with multiple contractors during and since the building of my home, the Trela team was knowledgeable, professional AND efficient. Once the team was on site, they offered a very understandable explanation of the planned repairs, as well as some additional observations about the likely contributing factors to the leak. I was very impressed with their willingness to make suggestions and not just accept a homeowner's request (aluminum door frame rather than a painted one), but they also looked beyond the scope of the immediate problem to perform some preventative maintenance (extra caulking in some other vulnerable roof areas). Clean-up was very complete, including vacuuming along their walking path inside my home. They even adjusted some minor hardware that was knocked askew during their work effort. I'm not able to comment on the competitiveness of their pricing as I didn't pursue other bids. While initially I had a little sticker shock, I feel good that I received top workmanship. Well done, Trela team!
Description of Work: I discovered water stains in a walk-in closet on the top level of my home and it was traced to two problems on the roof top -- one related to poor quality workmanship on a corner portion of the roof and also seepage caused by a poorly supported AC unit. I have a brick SFH in Rosco Village that was newly built just five years ago. It has a flat roof covered by aluminum that houses a small buildout for roof access and utilities. The job required leak detection, siding/insulation/flashing/housewrap replacement on the roof, and drywall repair/painting in a large closet amid a wooden closet system.

Fantastic, great communication from management, complete consideration for my property and schedule from the workers
Description of Work: I had a sunroom that just seemed no matter what I did or other contractors did continued to leak. I was refered to Trela Roofing and Remodeling by a friend of mine. Ryan (the owners son) personally came out and inspected the problem area, after what seemed to be the better of a day (not really, i was just anxious to get this problem solved) he came down off the roof with visual evidence of what was wrong and a plan of how to fix the problem. They removed the existing roof and gutters of the sunroom without damaging the rest of my roof. They then proceeded to install a underlayment that the previous contractor had not (ice and water shield), along with new gutter apron, gutters and new shingles that matched my existing roof. The entire project only took two days. I couldn't be happier with the quality of work and cleanliness in which it took place. When its time to do the rest of my house I wont waste my time calling anybody else.

I asked for an estimate and explained that we were in the week-long attorney review process of buying a house. The company waited almost 2 weeks before getting a quote to me (when I had been told it would be done in the next 3-4 days). Their quote was also 2.5x higher than the other two quotes we received...

I noticed water pouring over the roof, and behind my gutter instead of into it. Since We had Trela replace our roof last year and were happy with the work they did, I gave them a call. They came out the next day to take a look at it, and discovered that even though we have covered gutters, one of the downspouts was clogged. They removed the clog, and made sure that the water was draining correctly. They did this free of charge, and with a smile. I can't recommend them highly enough!

, They called promptly to schedule a site visit, which was also timely. The visiting employee documented my concerns regarding the roof and pointed out issues I had not noticed. He discussed possible additional options and left to prepare a quote for the additional work. Trela prepared the quote promptly and I decided not to do the additional work. Trela scheduled the job (the original deal) and soon sent a three-man crew. I was pleased with their work and with the discussion with the crew after they had finished. I will get other quotes for the additional work they had proposed and will give Trela the job if their quote is reasonably close to the others. Trela clearly knows what they are doing.
Description of Work: The deal was for a roof inspection and repairs of minor resulting issues. While they suggested (and prepared a quote for) additional work, I ended up just having them do the original work. It included several minor repairs of gutters, soffet, fascia, and flashing as well as some caulking. They hammered in many nails that were sticking out. It took them a couple of hours. It was well worth the cost.

Professional, competent and responsive throughout process. They offered to help us file a warranty claim since the prior roof failed early but alas they found that the shingle company had gone out of business. Helped us pick shingle color to match the old roof color made by the defunct company...perfect match. No surprises. After they left I could not count the right number of roof vents they were to install due to our complicated roof and the crew chief got back to me immediately to explain where they had been installed and why the location was chosen. Totally satisfied.

I purchased the "deal" online. Trela Roofing called that same day and set up a time to come over and check out my attic. The gentleman that came to examine the space was very professional and kind. He expalined every thing he saw, and edcuated me on current home code for insulating attic spaces, as well as current government codes for energy savings. My attic is bigger than what the "deal" covered, so they gave me three different priced options based on how much insulation to be installed. I chose the middle option, which cost about $955. I guess I could have rented the equipment on my own from a hardware store and saved some money, but I wanted to have this taken care of quickly and professionally. The crew that did the installation was prompt, professional, and clean. They worked quickly and effeciently. Once they finished, the gentleman who originally gave me the estimate came back and reviewed the crew's work, which I really appreciated. I was very happy with the overall experience.
Description of Work: I purchased a new home in November of 2012. The attic had a very small amount of insulation in the attic, which was affecting the second floor of my home. I saw the "deal" on Angie's List and purchased it. Trela Roofing came and installed additional "blown-in" insulation in my attic, bringing it up to modern code.

I am merely waiting to get the full estimate from Trela regarding the work that needs to be done correctly, the first time.
Description of Work: We recently moved into a new gut rehab home. We needed to see if the seller did what they agreed to regarding the roof and attic. Also, our chimney cap was blown off from the wind and we needed someone to put it back on. Trela came out and did the assessment when they said they would. Their inspection showed that there was much work that needed to be done and the seller's contractors did very slipshod work.

Trela's crew arrived on time. Reviewed the work order with me to make certain we had the same game plan. They were very polite and professional and truly cared about the condition of our house. They laid tarps on the carpeting to make certain they did not stain it with their equipment or shoes. The crew kept me apprised of their progress and offered me the opportunity to inspect their work along the way. They completed the Tyvek covering to separate the half attic from the balance of the attic and made sure that they sealed any openings. When they were completed they each thanked me for the opportunity to work for me and said they appreciated our business. Anything that they moved to bring in their equipment they returned to the same spot and you would have never known they were in my house. Great firm, great people and great work!
Description of Work: Through an Angies List promotion we hired Trela Roofing to blow in insulation into my attic. They called me right away and scheduled an inspection. They showed on time and gave me a suggestion that we should consider in closing off the attic with Tyvek.

Knowing I needed to add insulation to my home, I purchased an Angie's big deal for insulation after I read the reviews of Trela by others on Angie's list. I was going to have them do the smaller of my two attics. I received a call from Trela within a hour of my on-line purchase. They came out right away to assess the job and also to give me an estimate for my larger attic. Due to travel, I was unable to have them out for almost two months, but when I called to schedule the work, they were quite accommodating and were able to schedule the job within a week. Two days before their arrival, I called them to change the job and asked them to do both attics. No problem. They arrived when scheduled and preceded their arrival with a phone call. The installers were quite professional, laid out tarps in the entire area they would be traveling and working under. They explained to me exactly what they were doing and wanted to make sure I understood everything. When completed, they asked me to review the work to see if I had any questions. They cleaned up throughly. Within a few hours of their departure, I received a call from Bob Trela wanted to make sure I was satisfied with the work, the crew and to see if I had any questions. Overall, a great experience. I wish all contractors worked this way (of course if all contractors did, no one would need Angie's)
Description of Work: Our home is 30+ years old so the attic insulation was clearly subpar and I wanted to have additional insulation installed. We have two separate attics, one over the second story and one above the single story.
