They responded immediately. They got up on the roof and took pictures and went over this with me. They just didn't get back with me.
Description of Work: Our roof was replaced in 2015, but I need to have it inspected due to storm damage. It sounds like my skylight might be dripping and the back part of roof may need repairs. I also have a gutter that needs to be replaced.

They were responsive to my needs, had excellent communications, performed high quality work as scheduled, within budget and cleaned up after themselves.
Description of Work: Real Estate inspector told prospective home buyers that my roof and deck had to be replaced. Got a ball park estimate for $10,000 so I asked Highland to give me a quotation for them to do the work. They inspected the roof and determined it did not need replacement. However, they did recommend $600 in maintenance. I was prepared to replace the roof. Honest and professional service from Highland guided me in the right direction.

The top gutter run is 30' up, the other gutter run is 15' up. Both are half-round, galvanized metal with strap hangers (no fascia board). Contacted Highland Roofing through Angie's List. Gerald Shelburne did estimate, arriving on time. Gerald did a good review of the old, rotted gutters. Gerald made an imaginative recommendation to solve problems which caused our old gutters to rust out. The estimate was reasonable, particularly considering the height of the top run - not all companies carry insurance for 30-foot heights. The crew leader, Mike, arrived on time. Most impressed how Mike reviewed the specifications again. Real teamwork to be sure the customer gets exactly what they are expecting. Mike communicated well, asking any questions if he was not clear on an issue. (Our gutters are relatively unusual, but the style was used in the Highlands on other houses.) The crew really surprised me when they inspected the other gutters. Very impressive. The only negative encountered was the crew did not have a magnetic, roofing-nail remover to be sure nails were not left on the driveway and yard. Mike used a broom to sweep the drive clear of nails and debris. Overall, I learned that guttering is a complex issue. The time Gerald and Mike took sharing their expertise, knowledge and experience was matched by the thoroughness of the job. We will definitely be using Highland Roofing to clean, inspect and maintain our gutters in the future!
Description of Work: Replaced two (2) gutters runs and two (2) downspouts. Added one (1) transverse downspout. Cleaned and inspected other gutters.

I have just received an estimate for the standard complete roof replacement from Dennis Harris, Highland Roofing. I could not believe my own eyes when I saw the price that they can do the job for $25,521. I got 3 other estimates from reputable roofing companies in Louisville, each for around $14,500. Moreover, my insurance company estimated that the roof replacement will cost about $14,000 and that was the amount they were going to pay. I asked Dennis if he made an error in the estimate and why it is $11,000 higher than 3 other estimates. He replied that the estimate is correct and that the 3 roofing companies use subcontractors to do the work. Nothing is further from the truth. In addition, he said that their customers often pay the difference between the Highland Roofing price and the insurance proceeds from their own pocket. So in this situation I would have to pay $11,000 from my own pocket, if I were to hire Highland Roofing to do the job. My encounter with the company was a pretty big disappointment.

We were researching roofing companies and had already spoken with Roof it Right's rep who went out of his way to meet with us when we were available My husband called Highland Roofing after I had reviewed their credentials on Angie's List and the Better Business Bureau. They seemed like a very professional company that we might like to do business with. Unfortunately they couldn't meet with us after hours, as in after I could get off work (after 5:00 PM, let's say). They could only meet with us during the day and as I couldn't take off during the day, we were out of luck. So they said they would send someone out to our home to inspect the roof and produce an estimate and get back in touch with us. We never heard from them again. My husband is home most days and didn't see their representative and Highland Roofing never called us with an estimate. So, we went with Roof it Right and we're extremely pleased with their work and won't be calling or referring anyone to Highland Roofing!
Description of Work: This provider didn't do anything!

It was great. They came out, took pictures of it, showed me exactly what needed to be done, told me what they were going to do and then did it. They corrected the problem. They were willing to do a small job and did it well. I would use them again.

We had a leak somewhere on our roof that was causing damage to an inside ceiling. We called two other roofing companies and they would not even commit to coming to look at it. Highland Roofing said they would call back within two weeks and make an appointment. They did as they said and came promptly at the appointed time. They found the spot, explained things fully, and gave a reasonable bid. Their workers returned two days later and fixed the roof. The workmen were prompt, polite, and professional. We will definitely call Highland for our future roofing needs.

I contacted them via telephone and discussed what I needed. They came out while I was at work and took measurement and provided me with a bid. I accepted a short time later. Then they completed the work, again while I was work. The process was very simple. Overall took about 1 month.
Description of Work: I recently had a fireplace installed and need a chimney chase built. I contacted them and they indicated they could build and install a custom chimney chase. The work was done according to our discussions. I was concerned about possible leaks and my concerns were addressed, for instance soldering the cap to the chase. Its been about a year later and I have not had any issues. The quality rating I gave was conservative since I really have nothing to compare it to and I have not gone on the roof to look at it in detail.

We live in a 1920 house and it has the original concrete tile roof. It is very unusual and they are the only ones who have it. I don't know the cost because my husband dealt with it. They do excellent work and they have worked for us but they just won't touch chimneys. I just called them and they said that they don't do it. They are very expensive and I would only use them if you had an unusual roof. They are known for being the most expensive but they are the only ones we can use. We have the most expensive roof possible and we have no choice because nobody makes concrete roofs anymore. They do quality work.

Response from Highland Roofing
I am reviewing our procedure for taking calls, and cannot understand how this happened. I first learned of the problem through Angie's List and contacted the member and apologized for not responding to her need. Since then my estimator has also contacted her and investigated her roof problem. We have offered an estimate for work to correct the problem and hope that we can be of service to her.

We checked Angie's list and with friends/family about who to contact. This company came with high reguards. I called to schedule an appointment and was told an estimate specialist would call within 48 hours. No one ever called. I called a second time and they had no record of my first call--but someone did return my call and came out as scheduled. This man was cordial, but not outgoing nor very talkative. He did not discuss or explain anything he saw during or after inspection. The estimated came in the mail a few days later and was in much less detail than the other companies' estimates I had received and was a higer price.
Description of Work: We had a roof leak and wanted an opinion/estimate as to the cost effectiveness of repairing the leak vs. replacing the roof.

6-8 guys showed up each morning at 7:30 am and worked hard until 3:30 daily. They cleaned up each day so that you wouldn't even know they were there. In fact, they started working on Friday before Father's Day. I had a bbq in the back yard on Sunday and didn't have to worry about nails and soot or our gazebo and lawn furniture being in the wrong place. Additionally, our home is on one of the narrow streets in the Highlands - and on a hill. There is no way to approach the house without walking up 10 steps - the guys never complained. They carried all their garbage away. The guys working at Highland Roofing are professionals.
Description of Work: They ripped off 3 layers of old roof, replaced rotten wood boards and laid new shingles to our 100-year old home in 3 days of 90 degree weather.

They were extremely expensive but I have some really nice box gutters. In fact, every time we have company I take them outside just to show them my box gutters. The best part about it all is my roof no longer leaks. I really like the job they did. They were also very polite and professional.

It was one person doing this project. He did show up on time and completed the job in about 1 hour. He was very nice and checked out the rest of the roof for me, as well. I was pleased with the work. The shingles seemed to match the rest of the roof very well. You could not tell the difference.
Description of Work: I had them replace one package worth of shingles and fix some cracks around the chimney of my house. They removed the old shingles and took them off the property as well.
