Overall, we are pleased with the work.
Description of Work: Had a new roof installed as well as new gutters. Mike came out and gave me the fairest estimate of all contractors that visited. The finished product looks beautiful. Articulated roof shingles and gutters that are wider and covered with bigger downspouts. Shouldn't have any water leak or water damage issues. Old roof was ripped off and they hauled all the old materials away. Mike let me know what his employees needed for space and the employees were always there when they said they would be unless rain would stop them from working. Rain happened once and they covered the home with a huge tarp until they returned the next day after the rain cleared. Did not leave a mess when they finished; always cleaned up after they shut down for the day. Mike was easy to reach throughout the process.

He got the gutters clean but left the blown debris around the perimeter of the home.
Description of Work: We got gutters cleaned on a town home. He arrived on time and was polite. Used a blower to clean the gutters, was a bit superficial with the cleaning and left a mess around the house from the flying debris that was not cleaned up. Did not use his hands or a trash bag to clean up on the roof either.

After shopping several roofing contractors for my recent roof replacement, I chose Kelbie Home improvement Inc based on their affordable pricing and their exemplary knowledge of roofing products. They exceeded my expectations, were extremely professional, and cleaned my property thoroughly.We preferred to change the roof during weekend on our behalf(which they did) and Kelbie's crew were able to complete the task within a day and half.Four roofers showed up on saturday morning @8:00AM and were great through out those days it took to complete the installation. Nester, the supervisor was also very attentive to my concerns and took necessary corrective action to complete minor repairs, that was awesome and kudos to him as well.Everybody seemed to know exactly what they were doing and did their work very well. Clean-up was very thorough and the grounds around the house were spotless after the job was finished. I was very pleased.My new roof looks great. I highly recommend using Kelbie Home Improvement Inc.The project was handled in a professional manner, with great roofers. The job was completed within the time stated. My roof makes my house look more appealing to my neighbors:-)
Description of Work: Best roofing company..Higly recommended Overall the entire process from start to finish was excellent. I am extremely PLEASED with the outcome, the work was done to my specifications and the perfect timing. The team was fast, courteous, efficient and professional.We replaced around 30 sheets for which Mr.Kelbie had given us a discount :-)

I had a leak in my bedrooms on the upper level,and my daughter told me to call Kelbie Roofing. They called me back immediately,and came out the same day. Mike took pictures of the roof to show me what was needed. I could only afford to work on the one level of the roof. He helped me with getting the rest of the roof financed. That was a job within itself,because I'm self employed. So he actually pleaded my case with the finance company to make this happen for me. They Started the work on a Friday morning, and Saturday, It started raining on Sunday, Monday, & Tuesday. I had a problem on Tuesday and they came right out in the rain to take care of that. I also had a seperate plumbing issue and Mike instructed the guys to handle that at no additional charge,(it was intensive and costly- for the materials and labor, I needed pipes and drywall and plaster. The guys repaired everything back to normal. They even wanted to paint it .) The job was finished and everything was cleaned back to normal. This work was done in a very timely and professional manner. Those guys did an excellent job. I would recommend them every who needs work done to their property. We've already talked about some other things that I need done. Mike told me to look on Angie's List for different specials coming up for the summer for the things that I need done. Mike has made me a very happy customer. Hopefully we will take care of all of my homeowner needs. My daughter had an emergency one night and she called them and they came out right away and fixed her problem. She had just purchased her town house in UpperMarlboro, she was happy and pleased with the service, so she kept their number. And I'm so glad that she did. I'm one happy customer.
Description of Work: I received 3 levels of roofing, all new larger upgrade on gutters with screens&down spouts, chimney work with new chimney caps. Some things were not included in the price, but Mike also put new flashing around the house to look nice and bright to match the new gutters, and new window shutters at no additional charges. My family is pleased with the results. I've been needing this roof for several years now. I had several companies to come out to give me estimates, some were much more expensive, and some just wanted to do a quick fix for alot cheeper because I couldn't get financed. Kelbie was the only company to take pictures to show me what was needed and what he would do. They took pictures before the work,while doing the work and after the work was done. That satisfied all of my questions.

Mike's team started early and worked hard until the job was completed. We had one minor issue and Mike had his team out the next day to take care of it without issue. To me this is as important as the quality of the job. To know that if there is anything that you have an issue with he will be there to take care of it as soon as possible and without arguments.

They were very cooperative and understanding.
Description of Work: Two companies were offering similar deals on Angie's List. I accidentally clicked on Kelbie Home Improvement. I called them to explain that I clicked on the wrong company. They offered to do the work even though I mistakenly clicked on them. He said it was no problem if I wanted to go with someone else who was closer by. I decided not to use them because I intended to use the other provider who was closer to me offering the same deal.

Contractor did basic patch up work to roof. Mgr. tried to sell me on installation of a new roof. Sent photos after work was completed. After only two months we started to notice a leak from the ceiling in living room, and when I went up to inspect I noticed that a gap underneath one of the areas they supposedly worked on (contractor sent a photo of one of their employees doing some work to it). However, the shingle board above the gap was not nailed down or secure. If anything was actually done to that spot, it clearly was not effective enough.

the facts are member needed a new roof and was not interested in it at that time we offered him a very good price but he turned it down we performed all the work that was included on his coupon for 149 we are sorry that it wasn't up to his expectations some of our customers bank for 149 they could get a brand new roof its only preventive maintenance if he would have had a brand new roof install he would have a labor and material warranty but he tried to go the cheap way out and it didn't work with the spring rains sometimes you can be penny wise pound foolish to any other members that are interested in this service if you think that you may need a new roof or if your room is 15 to 20 years old you may consider roof replacement this service will not be good for you it is only preventive maintenance

It went very well. The job was set up within 2 days of speaking with Mike Kelbie and he sent 2 people out to pressure wash the house. It took them a few hours and then they cleaned everything up once they were finished. They were very professional and I would use them again.
Description of Work: I spoke with Mike Kelbie about 2 days ago to get information about pressure washing my home. He set up an appointment right of way and sent 2 people to my house today. They performed the pressure washing in a few hours and it looks great. They brought all of the supplies with them and even cleaned my windows. I may have them come back and pressure wash my deck and sidewalk too!

This was the third time we've worked with Kelbie. They replaced all our gutters and downspouts in 2011, and recently repaired the flat roof on an addition to the home. The main roof needed a lot of work. The overhang on both sides had started to sag. In 1989 three existing layers of shingles had been removed and new shingles applied. When the Kelbie crew began removing the 1989 shingles, we discovered that the original decking underneath was in bad shape. Mike recommended installing plywood over the existing decking, rather than tearing it off down to the rafters. He provided photos, which confirmed what we could see from the ground. Installing the plywood added time to the job, but we're confident that we now have a good, secure roof. His crew, as always, showed up early, worked hard, put in long hours, did quality work and cleaned up everything before they left yesterday.. They were unfailingly polite and professional. Kelbie delivered the roofing materials on Monday, and the crew began work at 7 a.m. on Wednesday. By 8 a.m. they had discovered the problem with the decking, and Mike and I talked about how to proceed. By the end of the day on Thursday, they had completed the job on the back half of the house, and started installing the plywood and roofing paper on half of the front. They worked systematically and didn't leave the roof exposed to the weather. It rained on Friday, and we didn't experience any problems at all. They came back on Saturday afternoon and finished that side of the front, as well as the top gable. Yesterday (Monday) they stripped the old roofing from the other half of the front, completed the roof installation on that side, and cleaned up before they left. The new roof looks great. We're comfortable working with Kelbie and will definitely get estimates from Mike about future work.
Description of Work: Kelbie just finished replacing the main roof on our 1920-ish two-story house, including all flashing and finishing.

Apparently their measurements were a bit different from mine and indicated it was a larger space than what the add provided, so I had to fork over a few more bucks. That said, they did an incredibly good job on a deck that was fairly old and I must say it really looks great. It inspired me to go out this weekend and buy some water seal for the deck. I definitely would use Ray again to do the deck and will probably call on him again next year. I did cmpletely clear off the deck and gave them easy access to the water supply, which helps alot. All in all, if you are looking for someone to make your place look really good, give these guys a call.
Description of Work: Pressure washing a deck: I have a fairly small deck, so the $125 "special" that caught my eye on Angie's List to pressure wash the deck seemed reasonable.

During the course of home renovation, the plumber had to run new vent lines through the roof, so I needed new flashing around the pipes. I spoke to Mr. Kelbie in the morning, and he was able to send out Roy on the same day that I called. Roy sent me pictures before, during, and after so that I could see what they'd done without going up on the roof. Easy to work with, and great quality. I was there the evening after he did the work, and I saw no leaks during a heavy downpour.

Kelbie was very willing to discuss and meet our specific needs, which were due to damage from "Sandy", and worked directly with our insurance company. He also adhered to our specific schedule needs - working around our family's schedule. Overall, the project went very smoothly. Well resourced team, found particular comfort with the crew lead (Go Nestor!). Team worked hard immediately upon arrival to our house, and never stopped until sunlight ran out! Work was high quality, thorough, cleaned up all debris afterwords to include magnetic pickup of nails. Team was very professional!
Description of Work: Full replacement of roof on house, patio and garage (architectural shingles with lifetime repair/warranty). We liked the crew so much that when they recommended we replace our outdated gutters, we took them up on it. They just completed this work today on the house and garage.

I purchased a Big Deal, and shortly after the owner of the company called me quickly to schedule an appointment for our initial meeting. We had our first meeting the same week, and I signed a contact for the work. The materials were delivered shortly after, and his crew showed up at 6:30AM Monday morning. I am not sure anyone could expect more punctuality, I was impressed. They crew leader Nestor, is a great asset to the Kelbie team, he is a true professional. He is well spoken and knowledgeable of his craft, he was able to answer all of my questions. The crew worked so hard that I didn't see them take a lunch break, so I ordered them lunch. They worked until sunset, then Nestor explained the days progress as the crew cleaned everything up, and put their tools away. Day 2, Nestor and crew arrived again at 6:30AM and began working, they worked diligently into the afternoon until the roof was complete. Then they cleaned up everything, which included using a magnet to make sure no nails were left on the ground, and used a leaf blower to clean the gutters of any debris. The trash container was removed the same day. Day 3, The roof is complete and looks great. Nestor and crew arrived at 6:30AM again, but this time at my neighbors house. I'm glad I had the opportunity to use Kelbie Home Improvement for my new roof, and I'm sure my neighbor(s) will be pleased too.
