BE AWARE!!! We used Elite Roofing (out of Fishers/Noblesville, IN) for many years to replace roof shingles and various roof repairs and they had done excellent work. HOWEVER..after getting most of our roof replaced a few years ago by them many of the shingles have become discolored. We told the owner about his in March of 2021 and confirmed we were under a lifetime limited warranty per the agreement we had with Elite. After multiple calls and emails to the owner regarding next steps to get the shingles replaced he is no longer responding to us. NO RESPONSE AT ALL and it's been 4 months!! This is HORRIBLE after the money we spent on the roofing work. PLEASE BE AWARE..USE ANOTHER CONTRACTOR. ELITE WILL NOT HONOR THEIR CONTRACT NOR RETURN CALLS IS THERE IS A PROBLEM.

During the next HARD rain, the roof leaked badly and we filled up three buckets of water, just like before. This happened for several days in a row until the hard rains seized. That is not good, but what is frustrating is that this happened less than 3 months after the initial fix in August, around November 3 or 4th. I have been calling and emailing since with no response. I would like John to contact me and come fix the problem.
Description of Work: John and his wife came out to examine why the chimney leaks when it rains. He seemed very knowledgeable. He worked on the chimney and parts of the roof.

John came out within 2 days of my call to give me an estimate and completed the repair within a week of giving me the estimate. His crew did a great job with the repair and cleaned up afterwards so I couldn't tell they had even been here. John was able to match our shingles so the repair is hardly noticeable. His crew reviewed with what they had done when they were finished and answered all my questions about what they found during the repair process.

Description of Work: New roof; Called a few companies to get new roof estimates, including Elite Roofing. We chose Elite Roofing because the estimate explained everything in "full detail"; it was typed out exactly how the entire process would be completed, with the cost as well as their warranty information.

We had our contractor supply an estimate of repairs, that Mr. Lahr challenged. He preferred waiting until the work was done for the actual cost. He will not report this to his insurance company, nor share with me what company provides his liability insurance. After waiting to get this done when our contractor could work it into his existing schedule, we then supplied Mr. Lahr with copies of the invoice via email beginning on 7/22/16, and now via fax again today. I have left four or five voice messages for Mr. Lahr, sent email request for payment, and through Facebook Messenger with no response. Initially, Mr. Lahr was uncooperative and unprofessional. Once he learned from his worker that he had damaged our garage, he became more reasonable to deal with. However, we seem to be back to getting no relief for our damages. The contractor that did our work expects us to pay him, rightfully so. I expect Elite Roofing to make good on their promise to cover the damage oden by their employee. To date, they have not done so forcing me to consider small claims court for damages plus costs.
Description of Work: Elite's employee was working on our neighbor's home and backed into the side of our garage in May of 2016. He failed to report this to his employer, until confronted by John Lahr, the owner. Mr. Lahr finally agreed that his company owed for our damage repairs.

Elite Roofing installed our current roof shingles in 2006. Since that time we have had problems with the hip and ridge pieces coming off the roof after we have storms that have some wind gusts associated with them....first in 2009, then 2012, end of 2013 and now July 2014. When I spoke to John Lahr about this most recent episode I told him about our previous history and that this didn't seem normal because the frequency was increasing and the symptom we always seem to see is roof shingles on the ground. He said he'd take a closer look. After inspecting our roof he said that they would basically recheck the whole roof and resecure and seal all areas needed and wouldn't charge us for that work. They also resecured the flashing around the 2 skylights at no charge. The chimney work needed was discovered during his inspection so we paid for that part of the work. I appreciated John's responsiveness and the fact that he was making an effort to try and minimize the reoccurence of this problem and also not charging us for the coping replacement. John has always been very reliable and dependable over the years. I also want to give Elite Roofing an A for responsiveness back in Dec 2013 when they did our roof repair within a day after I spoke with John Lahr. I told him at that time that our situation wasn't an emergency because I knew that because of the bad storm we had I was sure there were others that might need help before us. So I was pleasantly surprised how quickly they came out.
Description of Work: Replaced coping with new. Checked all hip and ridge areas, resecured and sealed as necessary. Checked cobra vent and resealed where lifted. Resecured flashing around 2 skylights. Caulked chimney cracks and gaps in mortar joints and cap using geocel mortar seal. Waterproofed x2 applications using professional masonry waterproofing over roof-line only.

This is the second job Elite Roofing has performed for us. John Lahr is very thorough when giving his estimates and description of the repairs. The repairmen were prompt, courteous and performed the repair exactly as John described in his estimate. We will definitely use them again if needed!
Description of Work: We had a trim gutter board that was rotting. Elite Roofing removed the gutters in the corner needed, replaced the board. Caulked, primed and painted the board and reinstalled the gutters. They also brought the flashing out from behind the wall siding so that this will not happen again. They cleaned everything up and it looks perfect!

The work was done efficiently with no complications. Also, Elite cleaned the area when the job was completed. The only slight problem was that the shingles did not match 100% but were very close and were in a location on the roof that really was not very visible. The employees were easy to work with. I would recommend the company.
Description of Work: Elite Roofing tore off a section of our roofing that caused an ice dam situation the previous January. They placed water and ice tarp in the area then re-shingled to prevent further problems.

Had a major leak that destroyed the drywall ceiling and stained the wall in the back of my garage. I also had water running behind the endcap of the gutter and flowing down the outside stone of the house near a window. The area of concern on the roof was very difficult in that several roof lines all meet and form a shallow and narrowing pitch. John tore off the old roofing in this area and installed a membrane under the shingles. Then re-shingled everything else back to normal. He also re-did the flashing that was causing the water to run behind the gutter endcap. Both repairs are working well. The entire quote process was a little longer than desired, but after an agreement was made, the work was completed within a couple of days. Everything was cleaned up perfectly. Overall, I am pleased with the work and will ask them to quote any future work.
Description of Work: Tore off and replaced an area on my roof that was leaking. Also, re-flashed an area of the roof where it meets the siding to prevent water from flowing behind the gutter's endcap.

Needed to completely re-shingle house. We had Certainteed shingles on roof that had curled and failed/were failing and needed replaced. We found out that these were part of a class action lawsuit due to defective materials used in the manufacture of them. Called 3 companies to get quotes; and ended up using Elite Roofing for this job. Very nice company to deal with, very professional in their dealings. This company has one of the best reputations in the industry, in my opinion. You get what you pay for.

I found them on Angie's List. This one is close to my house and they have a good reputation in my neighborhood for doing good work. We will probably have them do the roof in the spring when the weather is better. They were very courteous and prompt. I was very impressed with them. They seemed friendly and I was real impressed with their manner on the phone. I was impressed with how quickly they responded and how professional they were. I thought there price was very fair. It was within $500 of the estimate another company gave us.

John Lahr made a prompt appointment and provided estimate for the work. He was very professional and knowledgeable of what was needed for the repairs. I received three estimates and John was the most sincere and I believe had the most expertise for the work that I knew needed to be accomplished. The repair of the support structure and the complete job was efficient and prompt. There was one minor communication problem/concern, but one call to John and all was resolved 100 percent.
Description of Work: Replaced detached garage roof, decking, rafters, gutters, some trim. Total tear-off of old shingles, replaced half of roof decking, and 8 rafters, replaced a main portion of a support joist. Installed seamless gutters and down spouts.

The project went very well. The crew came out on schedule and began replacing the old roof utilizing a "phasing" system by which they would do smaller portions of the roof at a time. We were impressed with the process as this system worked very well considering the storms that we had overnight between phases (not one bit of leakage to be found during and after construction). While replacing the old roof the crew encountered sound sheathing with no signs of deterioration (They did have to "tack down" a few missing nails from the last installation when the home was built). The foreman and crew were very courteous, cooperative, and professional for the entire duration of the project. The new roof has received numerous compliments from neighbors and family. The new ridge ventilation system has been a vast improvement over the previous system as John indicated. The new roof not only looks better, but it is a much quieter system than the old roof as well. We have also used Elite for small repairs over the years and they have always found where any leakage occurs -- bay windows, chimneys, and ice dam areas.
Description of Work: A new roof system for a 19-year-old house (with multiple and difficult rooflines) which included the following: - 30-year Owens-Corning multi-dimensional, algae-resistant shingles (over 15-pound shingle underlayment felt) fastened with 1 1/4" galvanized roofing nails. - A new Cobra-Vent Ridge Ventalation system installed at all ridgelines. - New boot-flashings at all plumbing vents as well as new counter-flashings at the chimney and front wall locations. - A 3-foot wide band of ice and water shield at all valleys (including the chimney) as well as a "dead valley" in the garage area. - Drip edge flashings at all gables in addition to gutter aprons at various locations.
