I am very pleased with Economic Roofing. I highly recommend them. The roof looks great. I look forward to many years of worry free roof coverage.
Description of Work: I originally contacted Economic Roofing in December of 2010 to inspect my roof when I noticed a leak after a heavy snow storm. Economic Roofing quickly scheduled the appointment and arrived the next day to inspect my roof. They inspected the roof, the attic, the ventilation and also took photos of problem areas they found. As my roof was 22 yrs old, they gave me the option of repairing the roof or replacing the roof. They provided written estimates for both options. At the time I was working through my insurance company and opted for repair with another contractor. Because of my very pleasant experience with them, when I was ready to replace the roof in September 2011, I contacted them again. Ty Hines, the owner, personally engaged me to ensure I understood my options, pricing, products, warranty, roof replacement process and invoicing process. I was please to find that he was able to offer me an even better price than in 2010. I received quotes from three other roofers to ensure I was not only receiving the best price, but also the best warranty, service, reputation, products and replacement process. I researched Angie's List, the Better Business Bureau and Washington Consumer Checkbook Magazine. After doing all the research, I chose Economic. They met all of my requirements for price, product, service, reputation, licensing/insurance and warranty. Their offer included a 10 year workmanship warranty and there was no payment required until the roof was finished and I was completely satisfied. I checked the CertainTeed site and found that Economic is one of CertainTeed's top rated installers and was certified as a CertainTeed SELECT Shinglemaster, which according to the CertainTeed site is "the top level CertainTeed roofing credential, and represents the highest standards of excellence, quality and knowledge in the shingle roofing industry. An SSM has shown extensive knowledge of shingle installation and quality through rigorous testing, and have provided CertainTeed with proof of workers' compensation and liability insurance. Only an SSM can offer you the highest level of SureStart PLUS™ extended warranty coverage when an Integrity Roof System is installed on your home". Ty Hines provided information on CertainTeed, GAF and TAMKO roofing options. There was no hard sell for either product. After some online research, I selected the CertainTeed Landmark 30 yr architectural shingles, with the upgrade options necessary to qualify for the CertainTeed ShureStart PLUS 4 Star Warranty (requires the Integrity Roofing System including 30 Yr architectural shingles, Roofers Select Underlayment, WinterGuard Ice & Water Shield, ShingleVent II Ridge Vent System, and installation by a CertainTeed certified SELECT Shinglemaster) . With that Warranty, I received the 20 year non-prorated materials and labor replacement (lifetime prorated coverage after 20 years), a 130 MPH Wind Damage warranty and a 15 year algae resistance warranty. I was scheduled for installation within one week of signing the contract. The materials were delivered on a Thursday and the work was performed and completed the very next day (one day start to finish). They arrived promptly, answered all of my questions and got right to work. The crew was friendly and courteous. They finished late in the evening after sundown. The project manager returned Saturday morning to ensure everything was done to my satisfaction, completed the final inspection and provided an invoice reflecting the exact price quoted. They also repaired my chimney crown and installed a stainless steel chimney flu cap at no additional cost.
