Bob and his team were great. They worked with our insulators to have insulation blown in at the same time, and were efficient and cheerful. They started the job, right before a bad patch of rainy weather, and worked to protect our home during the rain and were back as soon as the weather cleared. They did a great job cleaning up, as well. We ended up needing plywood under most of the roof, and Bob was always in communication with us about what needed to be done and how much it would cost.
Description of Work: They removed the old slates from our roof and installed a new shingle roof. They also installed a layer of plywood under the roof.

Bob O'Sullivan and his team did an excellent job. They were able to perform the work just 2 days after I signed the contract. Bob was always very quick in answering my questions and gave me detailed explanations. He is very professional, nice and easy to work with. One of my concerns was potential damage to my new landscape and plants. Bob promised me his team was going to be very cautious, and they did! Except from a little bit of bark mulch that went during the clean-up, I couldn't tell that a whole crew (very discreet, by the way) had worked on site.
Description of Work: Replacement of rubber roof on Mansard house. Striped all sections of roof down to roof boards, installed 6'' by .5'' plywood on all outside edges, installed .5'' fiberboard on all sections of roof, relaid 2 chimneys and installed 40 year .060 RPI rubber roofing. Spot pointed 3 chimneys as needed. Additional work included installation of gutter guard and down spout on front gutter of our garage.

They did an outstanding job overall. The entire job was completed in just two days and the clean-up was very good. They're not the cheapest firm around, but you get what you pay for. Bob O'Sullivan is extremely easy to work with, he is very knowledgable and responsive.
Description of Work: Ranch Roofing removed the existing roof shingles from our 100 year old home. They installed new shingles on the entire roof (including porches, bays and shed), releaded the two chimneys, installed copper valleys and ridge vents.

Excellent. Bob O'Sullivan is super to work with. We got five quotes, ranging from $26k to $12k, and his price was in the middle but the work contracted for was of better quality than the lower quote. We scheduled the work about three weeks in advance and had to postpone the start about a week due to the weather. The guys were on our roof for four days, including some extra time dealing with a squirrel nest inside the eaves. They were really professional and did a great job cleaning up. A few unexpected problems came up (including the squirrels and some beams in the garage that were in worse shape than anyone realized), but Bob was super in dealing with them. He took care of them without charging over the contract price. We were really pleased that he did not nickel and dime us over small things. Bob subcontracted the gutters to another company, which did a good job though they had to come back a couple of times to finish up. Bob was generous and honest. A great experience.
Description of Work: Total tear down of roof and replacement of gutters on 900 sq ft house and two-car garage. Stripped off three layers of old shingles on a complex roof and replaced with Certainteed Woodscape architectural shingles. Replaced a few roof boards and many rotted face boards. Ice shield, drip edge, ridge vent all installed. Pipe boots replaced and two chimney caps installed. Installed all new aluminum gutters.

They did a great job. They don t even want us to pay them until there is a hard rain to make sure that it was correctly fixed. We thought that was very good. They were friendly and the price was very reasonable.
Description of Work: They repaired the roof on a spot that was leaking into the upstairs bathroom. The leak was by the sky light and they had to put flashing near the chimney where the leak was.

The representative was punctual and very friendly. He seemed more knowledgeable about roofing than gutter and soffit repair. This was confirmed when he said that they did not do any repair work, but would give me an estimate for gutter installation. He was nice enough to give me the contact information for a few carpenters in my area, but I was looking for an outfit that would get all the work done. I will probably work with this company for a roof leak.
Description of Work: Requested an estimate to replace and repair gutters, soffit, and facia for a large home.

The first roofer looked at the skylight leak and tried to fix the roof, but that didn't work. Two other companies came and looked and declined to submit a bid. Finally Ranch Roofing came cheerfully and gave an estimate which came to me quickly by email. We were able to schedule the work at my convenience, they arrived promptly, did the work carefully (it unexpectedly required going to buy plywood and 2 x 4's to replace rotten wood), cleaned up well afterwards, were careful about not crushing newly sprouting plants/flowers in the flowerbed below that part of the roof. New skylight looks great. Small amount of tarring to seal area around chimney done at same time.
Description of Work: Leaking skylight replaced; leaking chimney repaired.

They did a perfect job. We have had no water leaks of any kind. They took their time and made sure both roofs were done perfect. They made sure they did accurate measuring and that all of the new asphalt tiles were lined up exactly with the others. It looks great. They guys who worked on the project were very friendly. They answered any and all of our questions. They completely removed all of the old shingles and tar paper as part of the job. We would highly recommend this company's services to any one.
Description of Work: We had a crew from Ranch Roofing come out and tear off our existing asphalt shingled roof and tar paper and lay all new tar paper and 3 tab asphalt shingles on the roof of our home totaling about 2200 square foot. They also tore off the roof of our 1200 square foot carriage house and installed all new tar paper and asphalt tabs.

Ranch was a good company and I do like my roof. I had to clean up after them though because they did not. That is something they could improve upon and I did let the manager know that bit of information. I will divulge that the quality of their work is quite good. Price-wise, they were the middle estimate we had received. I would use them again. I do not remember what we wound up paying for our new roof at this time.

BOB O'SULLIVAN'S CREW DID A FANTASTIC JOB FROM START TO FINISH. HIS CREW ARRIVED PROMPTLY AND STAYED LATE TO COMPLETE THE JOB AS SCHEDULED. THEY CLEANED UP AND REMOVED ALL DEBRIS FROM THE PREMISES (EVEN DOWN TO THE OLD NAILS FROM THE LAWN). BOB, HIMSELF, CONSTANTLY MONITORED THE JOB TO ENSURE SATISFACTION AND PROPER INSTALLATION.

Bob O'Sullivan is excellent to work with. He is friendly and accommodating. He came when he said he would and called and visited frequently throughout the job. They tore off the old roof and covered whole house with ice and water protection and put on a new roof. We needed 2 rubber roofs over porches. Everything was done very well. We needed extensive carpentry to replace rotting wood. Bob recommended a carpenter, Rick Wells, and this was the only issue we had with the project. I thought Bob had hired Rick as a sub, but in fact, he left the negotiations for work and price up to me. As it turned out I was not happy at all with Rick Wells. His workers didn't have experience with shingling and didn't do a great job. Rick often wasn't there, he charged a premium for his own time, and I had a language/communication barrier with his workers. Bob did talk to Rick often for me and seemed to regret bringing him onto the job. I would recommend Bob heartily. Good people/great work.
Description of Work: Ranch roofing replaced our old roof and recommended a carpenter/contractor to replace a lot of rotting wood around the perimeter of the roof.

Excellent. Bob O'Sullivan was very responsive, knowledgeable and informative. He gave us an estimate and a timeframe and once we had signed the contract the work was done quicker then the estimate (within a few days) and took just 2 days by using a double team when other estimates had been for 3 and a half days. They cleaned up well and appear to have done a very good, professional job. Happy to recommend them for a job well done.
Description of Work: Gave free estimate. They stripped and replace our entire roof and replaced the venting system. Replaced skylight windows.

Overall, it went very well. Bob was easy to work with, responsive and professional. I think the wooden gutters were subcontracted; there's one spot that I think has been leaking but I feel confident that Bob will help me resolve that. The crew did a great job on clean-up, in particular.
Description of Work: Complete new roof and new wooden gutters. We came in a little higher than the original estimate because we decided to replace the existing wooden gutters with new wooden gutters, rather than aluminum.

I have never had a more positive experience or encountered a stronger service ethic in a contractor. I contacted Bob, along with some others on the List, to help us with an ''emergency'' roof inspection. (Our inspection contingency was running out at 5 p.m., and we had not been able to get a roof assessment from our inspector.) Bob called back quickly, drove from Watertown to Beacon Hill immediately, found a way to access the fairly inaccessible roof under icy/dangerous conditions and refused to accept any form of payment for his services. Notably, he was the only roofer we contacted (including some other Angie's List companies) willing to come on such short notice. As a result, he has won our loyalty, and we would never use any other roofing company.

Bob O'Sullivan was a very nice person; his estimate was reasonably priced compared to others, and he explained things in detail (as I did not know much about roofing terminology). Work was done in a timely fashion; it was delayed a few days due to weather, but he also took into consideration my schedule and preference for start day. Once they started the job it took 3 days, and they did a great job, cleaning up thoroughly after they finished. Bob was always good at returning phone calls and answering my questions. Overall I was very pleased with their work and would recommend them without hesitation.
Description of Work: They stripped all sections of roof down to roof boards on the main house, installed ice and water shield, re-leaded the chimney, replaced pipe boots, replaced flashing, installed Cobra Ridge vent on main house, 30lb. felt paper, 8 inch white drip edge on all edges of roof, installed Cobra Ridge vent on main house, 30 year Certainteed Woodscape architectural Shingles on roof. Also installed 30 year RPI rubber roofing on front porch roof as well as 1/2 inch fiber board and 3 inch edge metal. Also cleaned all gutters and downspouts, screwed connections on all downspouts and replaced downspouts when needed.

They used good materials and nailed the shingles instead of stapling them, prepped the siding that they replaced with a primer coat that close to matched existing siding. On one dormer, Bob decided that the new siding didn't meet properly and had it taken down and replaced before we noticed any problem. Bob O Sullivan always returned calls. Every issue we raised was answered promptly and thoroughly. After a 50 mph wind blew two shingles off, Bob came himself to nail them down. We sometimes had to wait for the crew. Due to previous experience, we may have noticed delays more than most. They stayed the entire week until the job was finished. Everyone on the crew, including the subcontractor for the gutters, took the work seriously and took pride in it. They did a thorough job cleaning up, were careful, thorough, and thoughtful about their work.
Description of Work: They stripped the existing roof, re-leaded the chimney, replaced pipe boots, replaced damaged flashing, installed a Cobra ridge vent, installed 6 feet of ice and water shield, 30 lb. felt paper, 8-inch drip edge, 30-year Woodscape shingles, replaced siding over the front windows, front dormer, and back dormer after replacing flashing, replaced all gutters and downspouts, and installed gutters on the front porch. Bob O Sullivan actually went up on the roof and examined it. He made no attempt to enlarge the scope of the job. The price was very reasonable compared to other estimates, and the estimate was clearer and more complete. I got a printed estimate on the spot. When I called to confirm, he told me how many jobs he had lined up and when he thought he could get to me. Once Ranch showed up, they stayed until they finished.

Two days before Christmas, several shingles came off our roof during a storm, exposing a section of the underlying roof. Somewhat frantic because it was raining, we called Ranch Roofing (Bob O'Sullivan) to give us an estimate, and he came within 30 minutes (this was a Saturday). Bob set up a ladder, took a quick look, then asked if we had any replacement shingles. He said he could fix it in five minutes, which he did, by himself, in the rain, on a steeply pitched roof. And yet, because he said it was only five minute's work (it was actually more like 15 minutes), he didn't charge us a penny. We were afraid that the roof would be leaking over Christmas before we could get someone to look at it, and yet within an hour of our initial call, the roof was repaired. I must admit I was tremendously impressed with Bob's professionalism and commitment to service. When it comes time to re-roof, we will certainly call Ranch Roofing.

Bob came, and did an on-site proposal. After getting other bids, I gave him the job a week later. I was in no particular hurry, and he saw the job as a fill-in, so his relaxed schedule was no problem for me until winter approached. Then he showed up when he said he would - to the minute - and did the job with skill and dispatch. I liked everything about it. Well, the color in the shingle book was unrepresentative of what they furnished, but that wasn't Bob's doing, and he said he'd have words with the shingle company. I'm undismayed. Bob was the low bidder, and I think his price was about right. I think everyone else was high.
