Work done quickly, as arranged per telephone. I was not able to be present when workers were at my residence. Gutter debris cleaned from deck, but just dumped in gardens -- would have preferred the debris was cleaned up and removed. Mr Ellerman called me about the debris, and indicated that he was willing to send his foreman out to clean up the debris -- not necessary, but a gesture very appreciated. I will definitely call this business again.
Description of Work: Kept in contact regarding scheduling (weather-dependent). Very professional regarding plans and arrangements

Response from Ellerman Roofing
Considering that the home owner told my Foreman what color shingle to use for the project, most roofing companies would have charged for going back a second time to change to a different color. If we hadn't come off a brutal Winter that saw us shut down for 4 months, it would have been much easier to give someone a freebie for bad information on the shingle color. I wish him well. Hopefully he won't need a new roof for many years to come.

They did the job and it looks great. You have to look really close-up to see any difference in the replacement shingles they matched very well. I would definitely call them again. Thanks Denny & crew.
Description of Work: They came out to install an ice shield and replace some shingles. Previously they also replaced a downspout section of guttering.

They are just wonderful. We have neighbors who had used them before and they've recommended them highly. We could recommend them to anybody; in fact, I've recommended them to other people. They were prompt and courteous. They cleaned up everything and we didn't even know that they were here when they finished. I have no problems with them at all.
Description of Work: I used the roofing service of Ellerman Roofing. We had the entire roof of our house and an over sized garage done.

Called and requested quote for leak in roof of a rented home for the homeowner as requested by the tenants. Promptly inspected property and submitted bid. When asked to complete the work after the homeowner approved- did so before major snow storm so that further structural damage would occur.

gutter cleaning got mixed reviews from subsequent roofers some said tipped up shingles were really bad, other said no problem Roofing estimate was one of two best. Went with another because they provided whole house moisture barrier Wish we had used Ellerman--they used LOCAL workers and seven year labor warranty

I called late on a Friday evening and Mr. Ellerman answered promptly. I was really startled because it was after 5pm and expected to leave a message. He was very courteous and informed me that it could possibly be looked at on Saturday. However, his foreman needed to finish another job first. The foreman was unable to look at it Saturday and called me to let me know that he would be out there Monday morning. Everything went fine and problem fixed. Both individuals were very up front and professional. I would certainly use Ellerman Roofing again. Thanks.
Description of Work: fixed a cracked and weathered rubber boot around an exhaust pipe on the roof.

It went very smooth. I called him for an estimate. He was there and did an estimate within a couple days. We told him to go ahead. He had his crew there and the job done in no time. We now have no leaks!!! Thank you Ellerman Roofing! I wish all contractors were so responsive and responsible.
Description of Work: Fixed problems caused by another contractor. The other guy put new shingles on our roof and built a covered porch that was too low of a slope for shingles, but he shingled it anyhow. We had multiple leaks. Ellerman Roofing put a rubber roof on the covered porch and fixed the chimney flashing, where the other guy messed that up too.

I have a number of small issues with my roof that I needed to get fixed, so I started calling around on Wednesday to get some estimates. Ellerman didn't answer when I called, so I left a message asking him to call me back. About 30 hours later I got a call back from the owner. I told him I had a number of issues I would like him to take a look at and get me an estimate for and listed off a few (but not all) of them. He asked for my address and said he'd try and send somebody out sometime that day. When I told him nobody would be home to point out the issues he said, "that's fine, we'll take a look" and hung up before I could even tell him everything I wanted done. If he ever showed up, I have no idea as I haven't received any kind of estimate from him. He also was very reluctant to do any work on metal roofs. <edit> After speaking with Ellerman some more I believe this was primarily due to poor communication/misunderstanding. I bear him no ill will and in no way wish this to reflect on the quality of his work. </edit>

Response from Ellerman Roofing
Thank you for taking the time to post this review. As I told you on the phone, my company does not install metal roofs. We do flat roofs and shingles. As you can see from my other reviews, I'm always prompt at returning calls as well as providing great service. I tried to help you by giving your name to a company that has expertise in working with metal roofs. I contacted that person after seeing your review to see what had happened to your repair. That company still has not gotten a response from you to their email. I hope you have gotten the problem remedied, but if not good luck with the other company that works with metal.

Requested repair on ridge vent. Estimate was less than 24 hours later! While doing the inspection, they noted the sagging gutters and rolled the repair for that into the estimate. At my request, they installed a down spout on the east side of the backyard gutters. Very quick and well done work, even in bad weather!

Came out to the house to inpsect roof for hail damage - none reported. Was a little difficult to get in touch with on the phone. When the insurance company eventually did come out, they reported no damage as well. Since my insurance company is NOT State Farm, I am concluding that Ellerman made the right diagnosis

We had a roof leak that we needed to repair in preparation of selling our home. Since our roof is older we had Denny (Dennis Ellerman) give us an estimate on a full roof replacement in anticipation of selling our home. His estimate was the most reasonable of the 4 estimates we received for this job. Given that we were soon to sell our home and very concerned about recouping the cost of the roof replacement in our sale price, Denny gave us his opinion about whether we should replace the whole roof or just repair it. When we chose to repair it, he quickly fit us into his schedule to accommodate our time line. The repair is good at this time, no more leaks. None of the potential buyers have mentioned that quality of the roof at all as the thing that is deterring them from buying the house. We have yet to sell the house. But we are very glad that we did not splurge for the whole roof prior to having it addressed by a potential buyer. If it is addressed at a later date we will definitely use Ellerman Roofing for the roof replacement. Dennis Ellerman was recommended to us as "the only guy to do your roof in Bloomington" by former customers not associated with Angie's List.
Description of Work: Chimney repair.- Installed ice shield at base of chimney.- Installed step and counter flashing.- Installed new shingles.

Description of Work: Ellerman Roofing submitted a bid on our house and three outbuildings. We went with another company, but Ellerman's price was competitive and his proposal was complete and well written.

Our experience with Ellerman roofing was fantastic, Dennis was available anytime day or night and they were able to start the job the day after our estimate was signed. I feel they are the best roofers in Bloomington and the surrounding area.
Description of Work: Entire new roof both on our house and garage. Both were complete tear offs as well as intalling new vents, flat roof and pintucking our fireplaces.
