John was very professional when he came to evaluate the problem. He was able to determine that the issue was the way that my landscape was draining and that one of my drains had become clogged. The company came and redesigned my landscape on the side of my house to improve its drainage. They also unclogged the drain and redirected the gutters so that they drain properly. The moisture problem in the basement is completely resolved. I also consulted Elite roofing on a second job which was a leak in the ceiling of my kitchen. This problem was also promptly addressed and the issue has been completely resolved.
Description of Work: I had an issue with water in the basement. I consulted several providers in the area, including plumbers, landscapers and waterproofing specialists, none of whom could find the cause of the leak. I even had one company suggest that I tear down a wall in the basement to try to locate the leak! I finally consulted Elite Roofing. John determined that the problem was actually my landscape and the gutter drainage.

Having a very old building used for the purposes of warehousing peoples boats and R.V.s, I had structural damage due to storms and the roof was leaking very bad. Elite Roofing was contracted for the job through my insurance company and did a wonderful job. The experience was excellant. The professionalism of the company was excellant, and the contractors were respectful and pleasant to work with. My insurance company was very pleased as well with Elite Roofings price, professionalism, swiftness and job performance.

It had been leaking for a while and we had not noticed it until it had leaked so bad that it started dripping in the ceiling. They came out probably two or three times because the leak was persisting. The problem was that the only time that it would leak was when it rained out of the North-West, which happens once every three years. They don’t know where the leak is and they can’t do anything about it until it rains from the North-West again. They redid the shingles and did a new flashing up against the house, because a section of the house juts out and they thought that that may be the problem. They also did weather stripping of the silicon around the windows because they thought that it could be coming in from there. They came out 2 or 3 times and did a different thing each time, and whatever they did the last time seemed to work. It leaked just a little bit the last time it rained. They told us that they will do whatever it takes to get it to be right.
Description of Work: We have a leak in our roof and we are using Elite Roofing to fix it.

All of these activities were performed as stated with very little time from initial contact - as in no advance from me due to an earlier than anticipated closing date. John was able to perform the repairs between frequent periods of rain with two days to spare before my closing date. I contacted them on a Tuesday and by the next day the work was estimated and completed. John even gave me a discounted price below the miminum. The office personnel were very professional and helpful and relieved my stress instead adding to it as happens all too often with home repairs.
Description of Work: From the estimate: "We will first prep the roof for its repairs; we will then replace 1 missing tab above the garage with a new GAF weathered gray 3-tab shingle. This shingle will be nailed in place using a 1 ¼” galvanized roofing nail and sealed as necessary using plastic roofing cement. We will replace 1 – 2” plumbing vent flashing using a new boot flashing. We will also set a few “high-fasteners” along the southeast rake edge. All grounds and gutters will be left clean of all our debris, which will be hauled from the premises."

Mr. Lahr quickly responded to my request for an estimate; however, it did take over a week to receive it. He was very professional and explained in detail what the problems were with the roof. Our house is only 7 years old, but we have had water intrusion problems almost since day one, causing major dry wall and ceiling damage. Both roofers, who bid on the project, gave the same evaluation. Mr. Lahr took time to explain the cause of the damage, what had to be replaced and why. All flashing was removed and replaced with a top quality vent. Some coping and caulk also had to be removed/replaced. The work was completed in one day. There was nothing left on the yard. The work was completed within a month of the initial inquiry. I would use them again if the need arose.
Description of Work: The aluminum ridge vents on the roof peaks were removed. They were replaced with cobra vent and Owens Corning Accessory cope. The siding and j channels were re-secured to the trim. Old caulking was removed and matching color caulk was applied where necessary. All debris was removed and other than finally having a water tight roof, no one would know they had been there.

Joke of a company. Performed the work and then would not provide the warranty paperwork after 5 calls to their office. Each time they said it would be sent out. Had a repair needed to their work and the owner came out to look at it and said he would fix it within 1-2 weeks. That was a month ago and I cannot get a call back from them. I have since paid another company $250 for the repair. Very unprofessional and I would not recommend this company to anyone.

This was not our Company, this was a "storm chaser" that was trying to and did use Company name for a short period without our knowledge. After some time and investigations, the "false/fake company" was finally forced to close their doors, and leave town. I am sorry that you were a victim and It's unfortunate how many "storm chasers" come into town and what lengths they will go to, to land a job.

John is an absolute delight, and has great interpersonal skills. He really sits down with you and finds out what you want. I got the sense that he wanted me to see my dream roof come true! He offered me an optional quote for 25 year shingles and to sub contract the work to replace my chimney cap. I chose another company simply because my immediate neighbors had used them.
Description of Work: They gave me an estimate for roof replacement including ridge ventilation system and 30 year dimensional shingles for 40 squares.

We had several pretty bad storms. I had a few leaks. Called them for repairs. However, we had hail and wind damage. They advised me to call my homeowners insurance. Sure enough, bless them all, we got a new roof. They gave me several options and colors. I had them install a 3 dimensional roof and WOW is it great. I love these guys. Several people in my neighborhood used them after I did. You can see the quality in the materials used. They also replaced 2 old skylights. Their crew was wonderful. The clean-up afterward was outstanding. They were quick and efficient. I would recommend them to anyone. I love my roof so much. I have had many compliments from others who have driven by my house.

Elite provided an estimate for a re-roofing of our home. Their price was reasonable but the office was somewhat pushy about doing the work. We were hesitant to move forward with them based on some other Angie List reviews of their work during the spring and summer of 2006. We have not yet moved forward with the project.

Rob stated he would come out when the insurance adjuster was here. The first time he was not here and then the next time he was not reachable. He seemed to be bad mouthing the insurance company. He had never given me an estimate. I talked to him and he said he would be out the next day to give me the estimate, he never showed up. I feel he gave me bad advice all the way around. I was not trying to submit a claim to the insurance company in the beginning.
Description of Work: We needed a new roof but not from hail damage. Rob came out with another person, they told me they could get me a new roof, gutters, and everything. They told me they would talk to insurance adjusters. Rob said we did have hail damage so I called the insurance company to meet with him. The adjuster said we did not have hail damage.

The bottom line is that they didn't give me any information except a tentative estimate with just the basics. The mistake I made was to show him the insurance company's report, which said I had 6,000 dollars in damage. When we discussed money, he said, "I'll do the job, and you can give me the insurance check." After the work, I called the adjuster to ask him not to pay them. Frankly, the guy scares me now, and I don't want to deal with them any more.
Description of Work: I hired them to put on a new roof. It's about as bad as it gets. I can see from ground level that there are all kinds of problems, so I called back-- asking him to bring paperwork, too. He said, "I'll be over to check soon, and I'll be sure to bring the paperwork, correct the shingles on the shed, and clean up the mess." That was a few weeks ago, and I haven't heard from him since. I called the company and asked for the owner, who screamed at me and blamed me for "changing my mind." The only time I "changed my mind" was when I asked them not to do the gutters after the poor roofing job. He hung up on me.

Overall, experience was excellent - they had a trailer and cleaned up and removed debris every day. Rain was predicted so instead of using a tarp, they removed the old and shingled as they went so it was always covered overnight. Crew was very pleasant and hard working, also ''mature'', seemingly experienced, and well-trained. Have used them before w/ similar experience, and I would always give them a good recommendation.

I CALLED FOR AN EVALUATION OF THE HAIL DAMAGE TO MY ROOF AND FOR AN ESTIMATE TO REPLACE IT (MY INSURANCE COMPANY HAD ALREADY SAID I NEEDED ONE). THE APPOINTMENT WAS SET UP QUICKLY, JOHN WAS RIGHT ON TIME AND ESTIMATE WAS ALSO RECEIVED PROMPTLY. I CALLED JOHN BECAUSE HE HAD PUT MY CURRENT ROOF ON AND DONE AN EXCELLENT JOB - BOTH IN TERMS OF WORKMANSHIP AND THE FACT THAT THEY CLEANED UP EVERY DAY BEFORE LEAVING, SO I WAS NOT LEFT WITH A MESS DURING THE TIME OF THE TEAR-OFF AND REPLACEMENT. I AM GETTING OTHER ESTIMATES - SO FAR, HIS IS A LITTLE HIGHER.
