They charged me $250 to put caulk in some holes in the roof. When that didn't solve the problem, they charged me another $250 to seal more things and replace a vent pipe collar (which I suspect did not need to be replaced). However, these fixes seemed to work and the leak was fixed until the hurricane. The leak recurred in the same place. I guess their patch didn't hold. I will be using a different company and see if they are any better at repairing leaks permanently.
Description of Work: They were called to find and seal a leak that was causing a spot to appear in my office ceiling. They came out in March of 2006 and returned again in July of 2006 when it was evident the problem had not been fixed. They sealed holed in the roof and replaced a vent pipe collar.

Response from Economic Roofing Co
These repairs were done over 5yrs ago on an older home on two different parts of the house and held up until the recent hurricane, which is great for a repair job on an older home, anyway at one point in time they will need to replace this roof.

They did an excellent work. They put a lot of people on the job and got it done in a few hours. They cleaned up. The only complaint I had was their pricing. Other than that it was a quality workmanship.
Description of Work: Economic Roofing Co put in a new roof on my house and on my deck in 2009. They also put in skylights.

Great job. Workers came on time, completed job quickly, cleaned site, and ensured I was satisfied before leaving. Great job! While I hope not to need roofing repairs again, I would call Economic. Thanks!

Economic Roofing personnel called before arriving, and arrived promptly. They examined the roof and fixed all the problems, which were minor. I asked "how much" and the answer was "No charge"!
Description of Work: I had some damage from winter snow and wind storms. I called Economic Roofing because they did good work about 18 months ago.

They did an excellent job. They were cost-competitive. I was quite pleased with them. They did the job that I wanted them to do. I didn't have quite as much luck with another roofer that I used for my parents' house.

I was really happy with them. I was prepared to get a whole new roof . I had other roofers tell me that it could not be fixed. As soon as this guy saw it he said "there is your window and there is your problem and I can fix it" and he fixed it. If I had gotten the whole new roof it wouldn't have fixed the problem. I was super happy with their work.

This experience with this company was awful and have told others to never use them.
Description of Work: They came and gave an estimate on work around a skylight that we thought was okay. The work was done but was not repaired properly. We called for them to come back and fix it. We were told it would be more money and we argued that they did a lousy job to begin with. We ended up getting someone else to do the work for less than we paid these guys.

We have no record of this homeowner other than an estimate from 9-17-2001 which for an estimate to replace the roof on 2 metal bays, which was never accepted, there are other companies in the county with similar names, we would love to get more information from this customer so we can get more details on this matter, we are very concern that someone with a similar name is out there doing things in a very unprofessional way! Please have the Member feel free to contact us directly at 443-661-1224; we would very appreciate there input.

They came on time and gave me the estimate in paper in a couple of days. They were one of the only companies that went up the roof and inspected it before trying to sell me the roof. I had to leave before they came down from the roof, so I don't know whether the sales person is high pressure. I hired another company soly for the cheaper price.

The service was excellent. The response time may have been due to the fact that many people were having their roof repaired at that time. My husband keeps telling all of his colleagues about this company. They have done other work for us, as well.
Description of Work: Economic Roofing repaired a leak. We first thought it was in the flashing, but it ended up being in the chimney so they repaired the flashing around the chimney.

So far, I am very satisfied. The job is pretty new, but the job looks good, the roof hasn't shown any evidence of leaks. Aside from the general quality of the job, I really appreciated that this contractor: -- Showed up on time, every time -- Always called before arriving -- Was very honest, performing the work they said they would do, at the price they said they would do it for -- Only performed essential work - no "surprise" costs -- Treated me and my home with the utmost respect -- Left my yard CLEANER than it was before they arrived. No kidding. The only cost not explicitly anticipated in the proposal was $48 to replace one sheet of damaged plywood, and there is no doubt in my mind that the plywood had to be replaced if the job was to be done right. I highly recommend this company!
Description of Work: Replaced roof and gutters. Tore off old roofing material, and replaced with new shingles. Installed ice shield, drip edges, new gutters and gutter guard. Took away all the removed/replaced material.

They noted a couple of conditions that needed to be addressed and provided me with information. However, I did not receive a cost proposal for the work until 8/3/09, and this was only after I had called their office to request that they send me the proposal. Additionally, they were higher in price than another company that I think is also qualified to do the job. As a side note, they had previously patched my roof at a reasonable cost. The only real problem I had was the long wait to get a quotation from them.
Description of Work: A representative from the company came out on 7/16/09 and examined my roof in order to prepare an estimate.

Description of Work: I had a leak and they provided an estimate and fixed it rather than replacing the whole roof. I'd received an estimate previously from a contractor that indicated I needed a new roof. This company repaired it and saved me a lot of money. When I do need a new roof this contractor will get the job.

Two trips a year apart to fix the same roof leak around a pipe. First time was a quick patch job, roof leaked again in 12 months. Second time was more thorough, and they found work that had apparently been done incorrectly several years before by another firm, but they missed it the first time. I don't know yet whether this second job will hold for more than another 12 months. They give no warranty on smaller jobs like mine. The second crew that came seemed more careful and conscientious than the first crew. Quality control could be better.

Economic roofing was extremely responsive and sent an estimate out within 3 days, they reviewed the different materials to be used with us, as well as how they install roofs. Economic Roofing also worked with us to select a color by providing a list of houses in our area that had the different color options we were interested in so we could see them installed to make the final selection. During the time the work was supposed to be done there were several days of rain and they contacted us each day in the morning to let us know if they were going to be able to do the work that day. The day the work was done the crew arrived on time and they tarped off the bushes to protect them. The workmen were neat and orderly and the foreman photographed the work as the progressed. The work was completed within one day as promised and the yard was extremely clean when they left, they even left an extra bundle of shingles for our use in the future.
Description of Work: Economic Roofing provide a complete roof replacement, they removed the existing asphalt roofing down to the sheathing, replaced rotted wood, provided new ice and water shield, flashings, drip edge, ridgevent and 25 year asphalt roof.

Requested estimates early in June 2008, got Economic's site visit within ten days. While waiting for both mailed estimates, replaced vertical slats myself and painted. Reviewed both estimates and decided to work with Economic. Sickness and death in my family intervened. Called to clarify that all three metal roofs were to be painted, as requested. Scott Pettit said he would send clarified proposal the next day. Not received. Left a series of messages over three weeks. No response. Called back and asked for his supervisor. Explained lack of clarification and poor response and discussed the job. His boss apologized and said he'd get a corrected/clarified proposal out the next day. Still waiting on for that on 18 Sept. 2008.
Description of Work: Repair a leaking seam in flat metal roof, seal nail holes in dormer flashing, paint metal roofs on two dormers and carport with "alumination" (alumicoat). Replace vertical slats over metal louvers and paint slats and louvers on flat dormers. Remove caulk on flashing for fireplace and reseal flashing with Vulkem rubber caulk.

I got their name because they were highly rated on Angie's List and contacted them for an estimate. Their estimator Aron showed up promptly, said I didn't need to be there, and we discussed his assessment on the phone while he was at the house. He then submitted a very comprehensive proposal, which was the lowest of the three bids I received (though they were all in a close range, which led me to think I was getting about the right price) and by far the most complete and detailed. I accepted the proposal, and they do not require any down payment at all, just full payment immediately after the job was complete. There were some slight hassles in scheduling the work, partly because I had to go out of town, then all of a sudden the shingles arrived, the scheduler called, and they showed up and did the work when they said they would, completing it in just over a day, exactly as the estimator had said. Everything was completely cleaned up and there was no debris left around. The next day they called, we arranged for payment, they provided a written warranty and receipt and a sheaf of pictures they had taken during the work so I could see the underlying conditions, where they'd had to replace a couple of sheets of wood, etc. I would definitely use these guys again.

I received an estimate from the company, which was fairly close to the actual amount paid. It should be noted that the company could not give me a firm estimate because it did not know how much wood would need to be replaced until the work actually started. Accordingly, I expected the final price to be somewhat higher than the estimate. After receiving the estimate, I sent in a 1/3 deposit to get the work started. When the company received the check, however, I did not hear from them (even after they cashed the check -- which caused me some concern). When I called, I quickly got a call back from the owner of the company, and the work started fairly soon thereafter. The work was done very professionally and neatly. This company really does a good job keeping a very neat work site. The house looks great! Although I was skeptical about getting this work done, I am glad that I did. Hopefully, there will be far less maintenance for years to come. The company did provide me a 10-year warranty, which gives me confidence that I will not have to do any more trim painting and caulking. I would recommend this company to others looking for a company to do cladding and siding.
Description of Work: The company replaced rotten wood trim and put vinyl cladding on all trim, softs and fascia boards.

We called several places for estimates on installing a missing piece of flashing on our roof and Economic Roofing had the lowest price. When we called to set up for them to come and install it, the woman on the phone, Jo, pulled up our address and noted that the previous owners of the home had gotten the roof replaced by them in 2004. Still under warranty, they came out the very next day and replaced the flashing! Obviously, these guys are extremely helpful with their clients and are willing to go the extra mile for you! She could have just kept me oblivious to the work the previous owners had done since we had no documentation. The roofer called about an hour before arriving and was very nice and professional. He confirmed with me that the color of flashing was okay, and then perform the job. He was quick and let me know how it went when he was done. It was only by chance that we happened to find they previously installed our roof. We were going to use them anyway, based on the estimate and their quick response back to us. Overall, great experience and we are definitely going to use them in the future for our roofing needs.
