Description of Work: I purchased the winter roof sealing, caulking and more maintenance package from the big deal on Angie's list. I sent an email when I purchased it and explained i also had some missing metal wrap on my chimney. I got an immediate response from Michael in which he explained the service and that any additional work would be extra. I acknowledged the additional cost and we left it that he would get back to me with the schedule. The next I heard was a call from my wife that they were at the house. She said they were very nice and quick -they were about 30 minutes. I received an email with some pictures later saying he had sent a crew out and the roof "looked like it had some time on it" and asking if I wanted a quote for a new roof. I responded that I was happy to get an estimate and asked what was the story with the chimney wrap I had asked about. I received the estimate and no explanation o f my request. I was out of town so when I returned I verified nothing had been done with my original issue. I emailed him on New Year's Day and said we would not be placing the roof yet -he never said it needed replaced, just had age on it - and that he had never addressed the issue I brought to him at the beginning As of today (1/7/2012) he has not responded. I was hoping he would address why he did not tell me when he was coming or why he did not fix or provide an estimate for the chimney issue but nothing. I am disappointed.

Response from Kelbie Home Improvement Inc
The member purchase the deal we are sorry he was disappointed with our service or our feedback but basically he needed a new roof he had missing shingles and all flashings and all pipe collars and the roof was at its point of where he was going to have serious problems We give him a written estimate and did a Eagleview measurement on his roof to get the accurate measurements Hey never did call or asked us to give another estimate on just repairs So hard to get customers to pick up the phone and just call us directly instead of emailing back-and-forth it would be so much easier. When you have cell phones we have a point for our answering service to get a hold of us If this member was very interested in doing something they would've picked up the phone and call But being in business and having multiple customers that is hard to have one-on-one time with just one customer specially for o When you sent over for man to do the service took digital pictures inspected the roof and explain to him exactly what he needed I guess he thought that we was only trying to sell him Something that he did not need just a Pad up the bill but we give him a special price on a brand-new roof with a lifetime warranty

Description of Work: Great price, excellent serivce. The older gentlement was fantastic, the younger service tech was very good, but he did leave a couple of dirt spots from the window cleaning on our white carpet. That said, I would still give them an A and would use them again in the future.

Description of Work: I purchased an Angie's List Big Deal for gutter guards, but cancelled it when I learned that the product they would be using was not the one I had in mind. I have nothing bad to say about this vendor. I have every reason to believe that they would have provided me a good service.

this member purchased a gutter cleaning service for 45 dollars to clean out gutters on a townhouse when he called to setup the appointment he discovered that the coupon was only good for a townhouse he did not want us to come out to do the service on a single family home when he found out it was going to cost more for the job we did not do work for this member

Very very busy lately Overwhelmed with work And it's just hard to get that to everyone But in his test career was really interested in having the job done He will never call back To try to get on the schedule I guess he just got so frustrated That we could not get back to him right away We are sorry and I'm happy

Excellent
Description of Work: Coupon price was $198.oo to pressure wash house. Arrived on time, very professional, went about their business. Washed house and shed. In additon they did a roof inspection, which I was surprised of but thankful for. For a different charge they did replace some of the seals around my vents on the roof. Very pleased and would recommend. They also let me know about a lifetime warrenty shingle that is out now, which I will have to remember, if/when I have to have my roof done.

Over all very well.
Description of Work: Kelbie Home Improvement Inc. immediately called me to set up an appointment after we placed the order via Angie's list web site. They did their work as they said. Also, they provided me with digital pictures of the areas on my roof that needed attention or repair. They sealed areas that needed sealing, around the pipes for example, on the roof. In addition, they did, free of charge, clean the gutter since they were on the roof even though that was not part of the work. That was ruly helpful since we had the gutters filled with leaves specially in the back of the house. They went beyond what was asked of them, and that to me was a great customer service. At the end, they also said that if we wanted to replace the roof, they could give us an estimate and do the work itself. I was very pleased with their work and I would recommend them.

Description of Work: I purchased the special deal for the roof inspection and caulking. I made an appointment for a Saturday since I was having some roof issues and wanted to be there to speak to the roofer. I explained this on the phone when I made the appointment. I get an email from Kelbie at 10:30 Friday, 2/10 telling me they already completed the work, since it was going to rain the next day, they went ahead with the appointment. They never called ahead of time or asked to reschedule. They also sent me pictures claiming it was my roof. I live in a city row house - it could have been anyone's roof. I expressed my disappointment, informed him this was completely unprofessional and insisted he keep the Saturday appointment as scheduled. He initially refused. I told him his customer service was terrible at which point he argued with me about how good his customer service is since he'd been in business for however many years. I contacted Angie's list and asked for a refund, which they refused claiming the service had already been done. They had no way of knowing this since the city roofs look very similar. It wasn't until after I called Angie's list that Kelbie agreed to return on Saturday at the originally scheduled appointment. At which time they went on the roof and found lots of areas that needed caulking and were able to identify where my leaks were coming from. Once he was there, he seemed to perform the work advertised and my leaks did stop. He offered me quotes to repair and replace the roof. I did not follow up and would not hire him again.

this member is a professional dead beat that thought that 149 dollars was going to take care of a problem that need it more work I am sorry that we have to use this kind of speech to words to public but the public needs to know that it's not always the contractors fault it is a cons umer that is looking for ways to beat the system after she asked for a refund we explain to her that work was already performed she complained that there was a leak we done additional work on the back of her house at no additional charge we give very good customer service the fax are she needed a new roof on a old car roof that was cracked and breaking up and was refusing to pay she was hoping that the 149 dollars special for a shingle roof would work on a flat old tar roof with cracks in it whoever reads this please keep in mind we are a professional company but we just can't deal with BS we will go the extra mile for you but please dont treat us like dirt we are sorry that this member is on happy with the service we give we was very prompt and professional the service was done well plus we want the extra mile for the member even so we was not appreciate it in this is the feedback we received

Description of Work: The owner of this company, Mike Kelbie, came to our home and explained the steps regarding delivery of shingles and other items prior to the day of installation, how plants, bushes, etc. would be protected with tarps and finally how everything would be cleaned up like new at the completion of the project. He also showed us the selection of colors we had for the GAF Lifetime architectural shingles and how any of the boards for the actual roof that needed to be repaired prior to installation would be taken care of. When the day came a crew of 6 spent about 8 hours removing the old shingles, fixed various places needing repair, installed two ridge vents as well as reshingling the entire roof including a 12 x 36 patio roof. We also had them repair the cement cap on our chimney a few days later when the weather was going to be dry for at least a couple of days. Everything occurred just as explained and we're very happy with our new roof (no leaks after a few hard rains!) and especially the 3D effect of the architectural shingles as compared with the look of simple flat shingles. We've already recommended this company to a couple neighbors and our next door neighbor recently had their roof redone using this company.

Great Job
Description of Work: Reroofed my house. Removed old shingles, tar paper, attic fan and TV antennae. Replaced with quality shingles, added drip strips and roof ridge vents on both house and garage. On time, on budget, cleaned up really well, crews were polite, clean cut and professional. I need to replace windows in my family room and will try Mike Kelbie again.
