Description of Work: We needed a full roof replacement and they did a very good job. They are slightly more expensive than other roofers we looked at, but their customer service was excellent and they offer a higher quality shingle option (in addition to the standard quality that the other companies quoted us). You have to plan ahead with these guys because they are so busy - we signed a contract in November and didn't have the roof replaced until June. They did some patch work for free though, so the wait was not detrimental to our house. They completed the job in the time promised, despite iffy weather at the start of the project. We would recommend them and use them again.

Description of Work: The Roofing Dogs completely removed our old roofing and replaced it with GAF shingles. They did all of this in one day, including a complete clean-up afterwards. They were absolutely professional in all manner of operation. They answered all of my questions ahead of time and any lingering the day of and after installation. I would use them again without question. I am very pleased with their work, attitude, professionalism: You name it, they were great!!!

Description of Work: Swanson Roofing put a new roof on our house in 2010. We also had new gutters, downspouts, and gutter guards installed by a sub-contractor they arranged for. Within the last few years the gutters were clogged and appeared to actually not be properly aligned. I called and Garret came out to look at them and told me that they would replace the gutter guards at no cost and fix the gutter alignment, again at no cost. As it was explained to me they had become dissatisfied with the quality of work by this sub-contractor and knew that the work done was not up to their standards. I was stunned to say the least that they would do this work at no cost to us. It says something to me that they would feel responsible, four years later, to fix the problem. I am impressed by their sense of responsibility for their work and their professionalism, and the speed with which the work was done. I appreciate their integrity and would never hesitate referring them in future. Thank you, Swanson Roofing, for fixing a problem which was truly no fault of yours.

Description of Work: They put on a new roof and new gutters. I could not have been happier with the professionalism of the crew! The roof looks top notch and I have actually had people comment on how great it looks and the quality of the work. Most of all I am pleased that they said what they were going to do and then actually kept their word.

Description of Work: We received an estimate from them but it was quite a bit higher than the company we ended up using. They gave us a bid but never followed up on it. I'm sure they do good work but price was important to us.

Response from The Roofing Dog
[member name removed], Sorry we could not be of service to you. We normally are a higher priced company than other companies. This is because we do not subcontract out our work. Our crew members are employees of the company and they are compensated well and receive health insurance and retirement contributions. We believe high quality employees deserve to be paid well and have good career. This is the difference in why our price is higher than other companies. Sorry we could not be of service to you. Sincerely, Cory Swanson President Swanson's Roofing

Description of Work: we called for a quote for minimal roof repair. They called back within 24 hours and we set up an appointment two days out. The worker came when he said he would, had a look at the 2 problems and explained why perhaps they wouldn't be the best folks for the repair [cedar shingles on a chimney surround] but offered to email the names of contractors we could use and offered to send us a quote for replacement of a malfunctioning motorized roof vent. All in all very professional. I would certainly call them again for a big or small job.

The did not give an estimate
Description of Work: Would not come to look at our home as they did not work on roofs that do not have plywood underlayment. They do not work on homes that have wood shake.
Rating CategoryRating out of 5

Response from The Roofing Dog
We apoligize that our company does not offer the services you were requesting. Over the years, we have developed our company into focusing on certain types of jobs and becoming very good at that work. We believe we need to specialize in certain types of roofing and be the best company we can be at those services. Our company philosophy is "You can't be everything to everybody". We have to specialize in what we are best at, and promote that business. This would be similar to a car mechanic that only services transmissions, and not the rest of the vehicle. Truly specializing in our business is one of our strongest assets. Unfortunately, we have eliminated servicing the very old houses with wood shakes and no plywood underlayment. I hope you understand our company direction, and that we are attempting to run the best company we can, that fits us best. Thank You, Cory Swanson
