It was an excellent experience. I had them use architectural shingles and they look great! Everything was done in 3 days. John and his dad were on site for the roof work. I needed a slight adjustment on one of the pieces of soffit and a couple of the tiles later and John came right out and made the necessary adjustments. The Rain Flow system they installed in my gutters really works well. Before it I had tried numerous gutter caps/covers and rain would over flow on to my walkway. The rain flow system lets large amounts of water in the gutters and keeps the leaves out. Anyone looking for a roofing company; this is the one you should call!
Description of Work: W. Brothers came out and put on a new roof (no wood replacement needed), they also did my gutters, soffit, and fascia.

The price for the job fell into the middle range for all estimates received. We had 5 estimates, 3 from Angie's List. We liked the 10-year labor warranty, and the fact they obtained the permit. They were very prompt in returning any calls and responding to any concerns. We would recommend them without any hesitation. The roof looks great.
Description of Work: Had complete shingle tear-off and re-roof. Used architectural shingles. Roof vents and vent stacks were replaced. An attic fan was also installed.

Began on the day promised bright and early, worked hard and were done the same day. Cleaned up well after themselves although they did forget to put some of the stuff in my back yard (grill, etc.) back where they found it. When Mr. Wentz came for payment, I did mention it to him and he said he would mention it to the workers. The only small concern I have is that I called them the next day and left a message asking for paperwork (owner's manual, warranty, etc.) on the attic fan, should we ever have a problem and I still have not heard back and it has been almost a week. I will call again tomorrow if I don't hear anything by then.
Description of Work: Tear off, replace some plywood and reshingle entire roof. Also added more air vents and put in a new attic fan that we have to connect the wiring on as they do not do electrical. I was aware of this ahead of time and it is fine.

He was super! He was on time and did a super job. He showed up at 8am and worked until 5pm, everything done in the one day. He repaired a big hole where a raccoon had gotten into our home. He made some repairs at no extra charges. The estimate was originally $3700 and he gave us a $250 "spring discount" and the final job cost $3470.00 due to upgraded materials that we decided to purchase (architectural shingles). Removed and replaced three vents and installed two new vents. He also removed an old fan and put in a new one that we had purchased ourselves. He had a dumpster here for removal of old material and things were cleaned up very well.
Description of Work: We had him tear off the old roof and install a new roof.

John Wentz came to do my estimate. This company had the lowest estimate of the 3 I called. Also John was very responsive; when I asked him to bring over shingle color samples he came to my house the same day we spoke. The estimate covered everything (permit, dumpster, etc.) and John gave me all the information I needed beforehand. They performed exactly as agreed.

OUTSTANDING. GAVE AN EXTREMELY COMPETITIVE PRICE WHICH WAS LOWEST. SHOWED UP ON TIME, DID FAST AND EXCELLENT WORK. THEY TOOK CARE NOT TO DAMAGE MY HOME WITH THE DEBRIS FROM THE ROOF. THE DUMPSTER WAS REMOVED THE DAY AFTER THE WORK WAS DONE. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE 24 HOURS OF WORK BEING DONE, YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW THEY WERE THERE. I HAD A DISCREPANCY WITH THE FINAL PRICE, BUT WHEN SHOWN THE QUOTE, THE $200 UPCHARGE WAS REMOVED. VERY HAPPY WITH THEIR SERVICE. WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM

ESTIMATOR JOHN WENTZ WAS KNOWLEDGEABLE, PROMPT AND POLITE. HE GAVE US THE ESTIMATE IMMEDIATELY BUT THEN HE PHONED US EVERY DAY TO FIND OUT IF WE HAD DECIDED TO SIGN THE CONTRACT (WHILE WE WERE WAITING FOR OTHER ESTIMATES). HE ANSWERED SEVERAL OF OUR QUESTIONS OVER THE TELEPHONE AND MADE SEVERAL CHANGES TO THE CONTRACT THAT WE REQUESTED. AFTER WE GAVE OUR 50% DEPOSIT WE NEVER SAW HIM (OR HIS BROTHER OR FATHER) AGAIN. THE CREW SHOWED UP TO DO THE WORK ON TIME BUT THEY WERE NOT WELL SUPERVISED, AND ONLY THE SUPERVISOR SPOKE ENGLISH. THE BILL FOR THE FINAL PAYMENT CAME IN THE MAIL SEVERAL DAYS LATER. BY THAT TIME I HAD REALIZED THAT THEY HAD NOT INSTALLED THE RIDGE VENT BUT HAD JUST COVERED THE OLD VENT HOLE WITH SHINGLES. I CALLED JOHN AND HE HAD HIS CREW COME OUT WITHIN TWO DAYS. HOWEVER THE NEW VENT IS SEVERAL FEET SHORTER THAN THE ORIGINAL ONE. THE OVERALL WORK QUALITY AND PRICE ARE OK BUT THE POOR SUPERVISION WAS VERY DIFFERENT FROM THE PERSONAL ATTENTION THAT JOHN TOLD US WE WOULD GE

W BROTHERS' RESPONSIVENESS WAS OUTSTANDING. THEY RETURNED PHONE CALLS WITHIN FIVE MINUTES, THE APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED PROMPTLY, AND MY NEW ROOF WAS ON WITHIN TWO WEEKS OF MY ORDER, AS PROMISED. ALL OF THE WORKERS WERE FRIENDLY AND PROFESSIONAL. THEY CAME AT 7:30 A.M. AND WERE GONE BY 5:30 P.M., WITH ALL OF THE CLEANUP DONE. JOHN AND HIS FATHER COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MORE HELPFUL. THEY WERE WILLING TO DO EXTRA WORK FOR ME, AND EXPLAINED AND SHOWED ME WHY ONE REQUEST WAS NOT IN MY BEST INTEREST. THEY ALSO DOUBLE CHECKED WITH ME BEFORE REMOVING ITEMS I MIGHT WANT TO KEEP. THEY INSPIRE TRUST. THE PRICE WAS THE LOWEST OF THREE ESTIMATES, CONSIDERABLY LESS THAN ONE OF THEM. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND W BROTHERS.
