W Brothers responded quickly to request for quote for complete tear-off and re-roof. John provided a very competitively priced and complete quotation. Service was scheduled and completed in one day and all communication before, during and after completion was prompt and accurate. Quality was excellent. I would highly recommend W Brothers Roofing.

Quick response. Thorough explanation of plan. They communicated to me that they got tied up on another job and would be a day late which was fine. They were fast and cleaned up well. Offered to relocate some vents and it looks much better. It looks good and we are pleased.

The owner John, worked with the insurance estimator and provided me a detailed estimate after discussions with the insurance company, I decided to go ahead with W. Brothers Roofing. They delivered the supplies on time and arrived at 7AM as agreed on. They completed all the roof replacement in one day and cleaned up all the waste materials when finished. They returned two days later to replace all the gutters and the window shielding. The workers were great answering any questions I had and the on-site foreman Rob did a great job keeping me informed as to the flow and status of the work. I am extremely satisfied with the job done.
Description of Work: Re-roofing was necessary after a hail storm. Damage to the home, detached garage, and shed. It was also necessary to replace the gutters down spouts and shielding around several of the windows.

I have no complaints, they did a great job accommodating everything that I asked. The gentleman that I worked with was very kind, he took a long evening on a week night to answer all of my questions. I would give them a real solid A across the board, we really wish we would have gone with them.

They did a tremendous job! I can't speak highly enough about the crew. The 6 man team worked diligently and, it was obvious, they all took great pride in their work. I chose the GAF Ultra HD definition shingle and it looks amazing. The new roof definitely enhances the curb appeal of my property. I will definitely recommend W. Brothers Roofing to friends and neighbors in need of roofing!

They did a great job! They gave me a great price and arrived when they said they would. They did everything in a timely manner and even replaced a couple of boards that were rotten at no extra charge. They cleaned up and removed all of the hold gutter materials. I would recommend them to anyone needing new gutters. The price was less than the 2 other quotes I got.

Response from W Brothers Roofing Inc
In the age of the Internet sometimes communication becomes an issue. The estimator could not locate the residence based on the information way obtained when we got the request. It is our goal to meet scheduled appointments and give customers service that is second to none. I wish we could have another shot however at this point I am sure the job is done. I can not speak about the price difference as I was not involved but should note that would be a first if we were 35% higher. We are typically in the middle or lower end of most estimates.

n;s comAbout a month ago we had a pretty good rainstorm and I had leak in my roof right above my bed. I had a home inspection which said the roof was good for another 3-5 years but I knew it was time to pay the piper. I found W brothers via Angie;s list. John came out and gave me an estimate. Very professional presentation and did not try to say it was an insurance claim. I appreciated that, as I wanted an honest assessment. I got 2 other bids and though not the cheapest, I had the most comfort dealing with John and his company. This outfit are true professionals. The dumpster, permit and shingle were there when promised. The jo took about 5-6 and hours and they were able to save my beat-up cupola (I know I;m a dork bu t I love than accent on my roof) which was probable another half hour labor for 3=4 guys. The new architectural shingle look great and John's dad was a pleasure to deal with. Hoping this is my last roof on this house but would not hesitate to use them on anothr homee

Response from W Brothers Roofing Inc
There was a hail storm April 12th that went from Huntley to Palatine. Our main office is in Palatine and I live in Huntley. We have been overwhelmed with the amount of people that want us to look at there roof for damage. If there is damage we then have to meet with the insurance company which is a very lengthy meeting-which is happening daily. This has made it so that we can not travel to areas further away that we historically do. I am honest with every person that calls or emails in a request. 99% of the people that hear this understand. We cannot give the usual service we do and try to recommend someone in the area that can help. Not sure how this would prompt a homeowner to give us all F's. I think that there was a language barrier and they did not understand this.

They arrived and started work promptly at 7:00. The foreman "Bob" introduced himself before they got started. They worked quickly and finished shingling by 3:00 and stayed to do a complete clean up. I am very satisfied with their work.

In a roof replacement situation due to storm damage, we had been working with initially with another company with whom we had had limited repair work in the past. As I was a bit uncertain with their approach (felt like a hard sell), I called other companies including W Brothers. John was prompt in returning my call, very professional and personable. He asked questions about our situation and responded to my questions about process, all with a level of integrity even though it meant he would not get the work. I was impressed and appreciated his integrity, candor, and professionalism. I am only sorry that I had not discovered their company first to use for this project.

A low key sales approach, willingness to add extra wording to the contract and a competitive price with nearby completed jobs were the things that made us go with W. Brothers. Rob was knowledgeable, confident (but not pushy) and completely professional when providing the estimate, explaining the time line and addressing any concerns we had regarding our roof. They were punctual, finished the job about an hour earlier than expected and were sincere in asking us to contact them as soon as possible should there be any problems after installation. As of now (2 weeks later), the leak we were concerned with has not re-occurred.

W. Brothers was always prompt, professional, and ready to answer all of our questions. The installation occurred on the days we agreed, and took the amount of time we were told it would take. We have many plants, including tomato plants, around the house, and all were covered. Not one was damaged. Not one roof nail was left in the driveway! That is astounding to me!
Description of Work: W. Brothers came out to estimate the job promptly. We had our old shingles removed and replaced with architectural shingles. W. Brothers replaced many of the old plank boards (our house was built in 1929). Th contractor removed and installed new gutters and downspouts, and installed ice shield and roof center vent.

Their representative was onsite the next morning and reviewed my request. They referred me to another roofing company for the type of work I needed done. Overall I was impressed with their response and professionalism. It isn't very often that I experience customer service at this level which is why I am leaving a review for them today.

The job was done in six hours but was way overbid.I should have been more critical but ,I guess,I trusted Angies' List more than I should have.
Description of Work: First off,it was never my intent to write a review but, i awoke this morning at about 3:30 and couldn't go back to sleep thinking about the Angies' List experience.Now,one would think,with all the concerns,day to day,that Angies' List would be the last to keep me awake at night.I accepted Angies' List to be a reputable information source and when I took the bid I let my guard down.In retrospect,I should have been more skeptical when I was asked how much the insurance had paid and then the bid came out just 100.00 more.I never got an itemized bill which I normally demand. The job was R & R 1100 sq.ft. of roofing and it took two people six hours.I priced the materials and it came out to @1400.00 so the labor was chargeed at 158.00 an hour.Its an outrageous amount for a simple job but its my fault for not questioning more.I write this ,in part,to advise people to be on guard when dealing with these particular roofers and that just because a business appears on Angies' List doesn't make them completely creditable.Maybe now that I've said my piece I will sleep better at night.

Response from W Brothers Roofing Inc
I had to go through the files from 2 years ago to see exactly what the homeowner was talking about. This particular job was it in a trailer park. The cost of the shingles was slightly more than the homeowner estimated . The invoice from our supplier is exactly $1424.99. We of course had to get a dumpster for the job which was another$380. The city also required a permit which cost ourcompany $50. The cost of labor on this particular job was 750 dollars and the day of the job we had to get an additional 50 dollars worth of supplies needed to finish the job. We had for workers out there and it took a half of a day. As a company after we paid all of our workers and for all the material we were left with a little over 500 dollars which needs to go towards Olivar additional expenses of running a company. As most people would suspect roofing insurance is not cheap. I typically do not give out this much information however I was shocked by this report. I do not know of many companies that would do a job for much less than what are price was. We are located in Palatine and this job was almost out of our normal service area but we took on the job anyway because it was a referral. It sounds like our price was in line with what the insurance company pay the homeowner which is typically the fair market value. The homeowner is not supposed to make money on projects like this the contractor is supposed to. W brothers roofing has a history of fair pricing and also we operate our business with as much integrity as we possibly can. It is unfortunate that the homeowner feels this way.
