I called and left message requesting an estimate for new roof. My call was returned the following morning and Dusty came out the next day. He was courteous, professional and knowledgeable. He let me know that our roof was still in decent shape even though another roofing company had told us we needed a new roof right away. He offered to prepare an estimate for us but since we will not need his services at this time we declined for now. We would very much like to do business with him in the future as the need arises.

Elk Roofing was great to work with. They were responsive and punctual from the first appointment to the completion of the work. They cleaned up the work area and neatly stored their equipment and supplies at the end of each work day. Some unexpected conditions were discovered and additional labor was needed, but the original quote remained unchanged. They were very knowledgeable and honest.
Description of Work: Elk Roofing inspected our roof and attic to make a recommendation on repairs needed to address water damage that had been occurring on the interior and exterior of our home. We had spoken with numerous roofers over the years and Elk Roofing was the first to point out that our problems were probably due to the unusual pitch of our roof. They removed the existing roof in this area, made all repairs and installed a new roof appropriate for the pitch of our roof.

They were professional from start to end we had gotten a few other quotes over the year and they came in at the best value over the others. When we told them to go ahead with the work they move very quickly. The roof crew were very efficient and picked up everything after they were finished They had to work several days in the rain but they kept on going. It took a little longer than what they said we have a large roof and parts were hard to come by for the gutters and screens. They came up with a solution for a drainage problem with the gutters that we had before. We no longer have that problem. The skylights are much better than what we had before. Much more insulation in the lights and in the roof. The gutters and screens look great too. We could not be happier with the final product and would recommend them to anyone.

The guys were polite and neat. They encountered a honey bee hive in one of the 2nd floor eaves which stopped work. Dusty contacted bee keepers for consults to confirm honeybees and once we settled on a gentleman to remove the hive, Dusty met him at 7pm to assist with the removal by clearing the innards of the eave further. Dusty was delayed because he had to rebuild the eave inside and did the work himself. Dusty also had trouble getting an estimate for copper gutters from another company and in order not to slow down that part of the job recommended a direct competitor to ask for a bid. I think that small business owners in the trades have many constraints. Lack of an office staff for calls, small crews and a perhaps only a handful of trusted employees given the seasonality of the work. We felt Dusty was very available and responsive and think his craftsmanship and respect for our 1924 house offered us a high quality roof that will last for many years.
Description of Work: We had experience with Elk Roofing in July 2012 when they flashed two new chimneys that we had built. The mason recommended them and we received another recommendation to use them from a friend. Once the chimneys were complete we needed the roof replaced from some prior hail damage. Dusty recommended shingles and gave us estimates for each of those shingle types. He was very patient while waiting for us to make a decision regarding shingle color. They started the work in mid November and did a tear off, replaced damaged deck, installed new felt and ice and water shield around eaves and chimneys and installed new copper flashing.

We received four bids on this project and ultimately chose Elk Roofing because of a strong recommendation from a friend and a reasonably priced bid from Elk. Dusty was very responsive to our questions about the roofing project, and he met competitors' 10-year warranty on the roof. The Elk roofing crew arrived on time, were polite and neat, and protected the plants/shrubs around our house as they removed and replaced the roof. Our new roof looks fantastic!

They came and to care of the problem. It happened again and they came and fixed it. After that when it happened I called them multiple times but they did not respond. I still have a leaking roof. They did not complete the deal. I would not recommend them to anyone. I would not use them in the future.

Not Well. Enhance in returning phone calls, show up for appointments or call if you can't make it.
Description of Work: ELK Roofing originally did a complete tear off. Repairs to decking, roof vents added, chimney caps and decking weren't the best. Two different roofing techniques were done on all above mentioned. I had a problem with all of them. They were out of business temporarily & phone disconnected in 2008. Repairs had to be made by another company. They opened for business again. I called recently, scheduled 2 appointments for an inspection and/ if any repairs needed to to be performed, both were no shows no returned phone calls for missed appointments. I was disappointed that this should have been covered by my warranty.

Once I sent the signed acceptance, I tried to schedule the work multiple times before the first snowfall. I did manage to schedule twice, but they never showed. I would try to call the office and got no answer, so I would leave a message and they did not return my calls. I had the cell phone of the employee who gave me the estimate, so I started calling him. He would again give me a date, then not show. Eventually he stopped returning my calls. So either they have gone out of business, or decided they did not want to do the work. Previous experience was good, but I will never call them again. Pathetic way to treat a repeat customer trying to give them work.
Description of Work: I obtained three estimates to have work done to correct an ice dam problem I was having. Elk provided the best estimate, and I have used them before, so I accepted their offer.

Total roof tear off and replacement. 10,000 sf. home. Done quickly, done well. They cleaned up each night, including running a roller magnet to pick up any stray nails. They came back a year later to add chimney caps at no cost.

They were really good. I spent $300 to $400 on their last visit. They are very reasonable and I like them. They were conservative and if they can save me money, they will or tell me what to do. They were very responsive. I also used them 2 years ago on my old house.

For some time we have had leakage inside the house under the flat roof, despite the fact that the entire roof had been replaced about 5 years ago. Following the ice storm in February and heavy rain in early March, we were placing buckets inside to catch water leaking into the house. After researching roofers in our area on Angie's List, I called Elk Roofing to give us an estimate on repairing the roof. I left a voicemail, and Dusty returned later the same day. An appointment was scheduled for them to come to the house to assess the problem. Jeff Miller arrived as scheduled. He evaluated the situation, both inside and on the roof and took pictures of the problem areas. Jeff was very patient in answering all of our questions and spent quite a bit of time with us. We received a proposal from Jeff within a couple of days. Elk Roofing's estimate was reasonable and consistent with the proposal of another roofer. We decided to go with Elk Roofing for the project. Elk Roofing started the project a few days after we accepted their proposal. It took longer than expected to complete due to some rainy days. Once Jeff started the project, he discovered quite a bit of mold on the underside of the decking as well as wet insultation. Jeff contacted me at work with the news and we agreed to replace the entire decking and pull out the damaged insulation. In addition to the flat roof, Jeff re-flashed a dormer window that was leaking due to poor workmanship from the previous roofer. Elk Roofing completed the job, and our roof is no longer leaking despite heavy rains we have had the past month. Jeff was wonderful to work with. We felt he was very knowledgeable and honest. We trusted him when he identified the problems that weren't visible when he initially assessed the problem and suggested solutions/additional work that needed to be done. We also appreciated the fact that Elk Roofing does not sub-contract any of their work. The next time we need a roofer, Elk Roofing will be the only company we'll call. We wouldn't hesitate to refer Elk Roofing to family and friends. In fact, we have already done so.

They were prompt in scheduling a site visit to prepare the estimate, showed up exactly on time and emailed the estimate that day. Once we decided to make the repair they were also prompt in scheduling. The repair was made on a rental property and they were accommodation in our need to notify tenants in advance of the work being done. Due to weather conditions I have not seen the work but the leak problem seems to have been resolved.
Description of Work: We had a bathroom ceiling fan/heater that the original contractor did not install correctly and as a result, five years later we had a moisture problem and a leak in the roof. Elk Roofing repaired the roof above the fan and properly vented the fan.

They were pretty good and professional, showed up on time and cleaned up after themselves. They did a good job. They weren?t in a rush, and they took their time. The quality of their work seems to be great. They fixed the problem - it is not leaking anymore. I?m not all that familiar with roofing. It was cheaper than having the whole roof replaced. I would rate them highly and would use them again in the future if necessary.
Description of Work: We used Elk Roofing to fix the flashing around our chimney, because the people who had put the roof on had not done it right.
