It ended up costing quite a bit more than the big deal. My house was bigger than the square footage in the big deal. I did not calculate the square footage so, it was more than I had expected.

I purchased the big deal for $49 which included a roof inspection, patch ups, caulking around the chimney and a few other things. Kelby roofing came out to do the work but instead of doing the work, wanted to replace the entire roof. They provided me with an estimate to replace the roof and an estimate to do the initial work that was included in the big deal. The estimate that they gave me for the work in the big deal was a few hundred dollars and they said they no longer did business with Angies list so they wouldn't honor the big deal. Although I was satisfied with the price for the roof replacement, I didn't think it was necessary at the time. I didn't go with the work because I was a little disturbed that I purchased a big deal and they wouldn't honor it. A year later, my roof started leaking in a couple places and I remembered Kelby gave me a good estimate. I called them to give me an estimate again and I was satisfied with their estimate. The guy showed me the materials they would use and I was satisfied. I asked if I could get the $49 credit that I paid for the coupon and was told no. I just learned that Angies list will refund unused coupons so I didn't make it out to be a big deal. I was surprised to find that the materials that they man showed me was different from the materials that were used. I guess I was tired that day or just didn't feel like arguing because I paid the guy although I wasn't pleased that he changed the work order without notifying me.

thank you for your rating and your review we appreciate your feedback but the facts are that you needed a new roof and wasn't willing to pay for it and the coupon you purchase was for $149 not $49.00 and it only include it taking pictures of the roof caulking around then pipes and nail pops it did not include replacing shingles or putting on a new roof however we appreciate the opportunity you gave us but we did give you quality work that should have been read it is a plus we are sorry that you give us a raiding based on your coupon purchase

The job done by Kelbie was great from start to finish. Mr. Mike Kelbie was very responsive to all my e-mails from the very moment of the contract even on weekends. His price was less than other contractor?s estimates that I obtained. The day of the job, Mike was available in person and by E-mail. Mike?s team of workers did an excellent job. I would highly recommend Mike?s company to others for all roof work.

.Brought two-man crew. Got on roof, but didn't repair anything (wasn't part of the deal) Just did the inspection. Kelbe tried to sell me a new roof for $10,000 based on a few cell phone snapshots. I didn't feel comfortable paying that without having other quotes. Ultimately, had another - non-AL - contractor come out later who at least caulked a few nail hole areas where he saw it was needed and tool more comprehensive photos. I ended up using him for roof repair as price was $4000 less.
Description of Work: Got the AL deal for roof inspection. Overall, the service was fine, if a little too "quick".

Thank you for the rating and review but the facts are repair is always cheaper then replace but replace you have a warranty on the whole roof instead of part of the roof we did not get a price on repairing only replacing did not have the opportunity to do that but we thank You for your rating

When I initially called for an appointment, I didn't get a response and had to call back several weeks later. When they finally came out, they told me that the posts on the deck would be extra, and tried to charge me significantly more. After reviewing the deal from Angie's list, they agreed to do the entire deck.

I was not completely happy with it. I did not like the way they did it. It was not within the stipulation of the big deal. If I had read the details of the big deal, I probably would not have bought it. The details of the big deal were ambiguous. I was not happy with the job that he did. When it came to the power wash, they did not pay attention to the wood. They etched into my wood a bit. He was just spraying and got the green mildew off the deck. He did the job and did not break the wood. I would not use them again.
Description of Work: Kelbie Home Improvement Incorporated power washed the deck and re-sealed it. It was a big deal purchase.

We purchased the gutters because we wanted better flow and wanted to prevent them from being clogged. I am not sure if the gutters were lopsided before and they were just following the existing angles, but we noticed they were not angled correctly. We had to hire someone else to install larger gutters and completely re do their work.

He recommended a new roof. I think the whole idea was for him to come out and say they can do the repairs. There were no additional charges. They were very prompt. He was a little pushy.

It did not go well at all. There was an additional charge for the additional square footage. I remember that I finally convinced him that his way of determining square footage was less adequate. He was trying to reap us off. He wanted to add...I'm guessing...half of the about 25 feet deep and the triangular expansion would be close to 15 feet so that is another 320 square feet. He was going to charge a substantial amount more than that and I wanted it done but it is only really half of the square footage. We argued about it and finally I told him that he's going to do it or I will not pay. Finally, he did it on the original agreed price for added footage but we took an argument. I am an engineer and I know what the square footage was...I know how to do these things & it was just simple but he argued with me, he thought I was wrong and he convinced me.

The coupon only included a certain amount of square footage there was additional work that needed to be done the homeowner refused to pay basically slave labor was abolished over 200 years ago but some people are just professional deadbeats and don't want to pay we are sorry that we run into people like this sometimes but unfortunately we do but there is people out there that appreciates hard labor and will pay for it we are very sorry that this customer had a disagreement with us but now we know not to run anymore big deals because when you run a big deal you only get a hold of customers that are looking just to do what's on the coupon and not to pay anything extra they want you to go over and beyond the call of duty but they don't want to pay for it That's like going into a Ruth Chris steakhouse eating the dinner and then complaining about it because the bill came out to $250

They were good. They get an 'A'. Kelbie Home Improvement Inc just came and cleaned the gutters and the only problem with that was that they made an appointment and then they never showed up and I had to call them to follow up and then email him and he emailed me back with a picture of his time in the hospital which is weird. It's just that an email would have been fine or he could have just called me and told me that there was an accident and he couldn't show up then I rescheduled and they were on time and then everything went fine.

I purchased an Angie's List Big Deal for this service and the roof looked wonderful after they were done. The interaction with the provider was good and easy. I think I paid over the Big Deal price because I have a lot of roof, but the price was pretty reasonable. They came out pretty quick after I purchased the deal.
