Description of Work: After more than two months of waiting and three "no-shows", they finally re-fastened a gutter (at considerable height) and installed avalanch plates. They made the right recommendations did quality work. They did not appear to "cut corners" and they left the premises neat and clean when they were finished. The amount charged was exactly the amount estimated.

Prompt and professional. We called Mr. Burke because of previous roof repair work two years ago. Our call had a quick response. Mr. Burke provided advice and samples. Once we had decided, work was scheduled for about a week later. His crew showed up on time and got the job done quickly. Most impressive was the way the crew picked up after itself. When they left, there was no sign that a major work had occurred, other than a nice roof.
Description of Work: We replaced the entire roof of the house.

Excellent. We noticed a leaking vent pipe and called Ralph Burke urgently. They came out immediately and fixed the problem. Very knowledgeable and very professional! We will hire them to do our total roof when needed in a few years. Would recommend Ralph Burke without hesitation.

Got 4 estimates to get roof done. Burke was among 2 in the middle $100 apart & came in exactly where I had estimated the job should cost. Very prompt in coming to do estimate. Checked out their references with Angie's List & the BBB before calling & was satisfied that they were reputable. After I called them back to give them the job, the mother dropped off contract (optional but I asked for one) & samples to choose shingles from & then pulled the work permit from the city. They called the night before they started & finished the whole job in a day & a half. Cleaned up the yard spotlessly. I liked that they had their own trash truck so no dumpster drop was needed. They even took a personal check & didn't ask for a certified one. Overall experience was highly satisfactory. Would use them again anytime.
Description of Work: Stripped & replaced one layer of asphalt shingles on all roofs, including shed. Added ridge vent to main house roof. Removed trash & cleaned yard.

Burke Roofing was the lowest bidder. Of the three bidders, Burke was the only company that did not ask for money up front. They cleaned up the yard after the job was done. We were notified 24 hours in advance of the work and the job was done in a day and a half. Burke and his mother were friendly, provided samples, and neighborhood locations where the roofing could be seen. It was a pleasant experience.
Description of Work: Removed old roofing on home, addition and shed. Installed new six foot wide ice and water barrier, heavy weight felt paper, and 30 yr Certain Teed architectural shingles. Installed ridge vent. Installed new gutters on house addition. Reflashed vent pipes and chimney.

RALPH CAME PROMPTLY TO ESTIMATE, AND GAVE AN HONEST APPRAISAL. I NEEDED ROOF REPAIR, BUT NOT A NEW ROOF. HE PROMISED TO SEND AN ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIRS, AND THEN I NEVER HEARD FROM HIM AGAIN. SEVERAL PEOPLE RECOMMENDED HIM HIGHLY TO ME. BUT BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE, I WOULDN'T BOTHER TO CALL HIM IF YOU DON'T NEED AN ENTIRE NEW ROOF.

A HUMAN ANSWERED THE FIRST PHONE CALL!!! RALPH CAME THE NEXT WORKING DAY TO ESTIMATE THE WORK. HE DID THE REPAIR A FEW DAYS LATER AND TALKED WITH ME ABOUT OPTIONS FOR FOLLOW-UP WORK . THE ONLY WEAKNESS WAS A FAILURE TO RETURN CALLS AFTER I HAD GIVEN THE GO-AHEAD, WHEN I SOUGHT TO FIND OUT WHEN HE WAS ACTUALLY PLANNING TO COME.

THE OWNER (ONE OF TWO BROTHERS) WAS TO ARRIVE AT 6PM. I RETURNED HOME AT ARRANGED TIME. I WAITED OUTSIDE FOR 15 MINUTES AND THEN CHECKED MY MAIL. THE FINISHED ESTIMATE WAS IN MY MAILBOX! HE HAD COME AND GONE. THE ESTIMATE WAS BRIEF AND FORMAL, BUT KNOWING NOTHING ABOUT ROOFING, IT REALLY DIDN'T HELP. I NEVER MET A SOUL.
Description of Work: MY CALL WAS QUICKLY RETURNED. AN ESTIMATE APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED IN 3 DAYS. QUICK.
