I also used Kearns Brothers several years ago to replace my garage roof. They are an excellent company in all respects. A professional estimate is provided, all questions answered, very high-quality work is performed on time, and the cleanup is complete. I've used Kearns Brothers for 3 jobs, and if needed, I'll use them again in the future.
Description of Work: Kearns replaced my gutters and rebuilt my chimney from the roof-top line. There was some tuck-pointing performed on the front bricks of my home.

They are an excellent company. They were very, very good. I had a question and I thought it was an issue. The siding had moved. They came right out and fixed it on the same day. The owner himself had come out. I spent about $4000. I will definitely use them again in the future.

Prompt arrival of individual for estimate. Price for replacing siding in gable was right on with what the insurance company paid me. Delay in having the work done - longer than reported. Initially the workers didn't arrive on the promised date. However, upon resetting the date they were prompt and as promised. Clean up was excellent and work well done.
Description of Work: Replaced siding in gable blown off in a storm and replaced two porch steps - one 4" long and one 6" long.

We signed contract in April, just before turning on our sprinkler system. On day 1 when they showed up to begin demolition, they noted that the sprinkler system was leaking and contributing to the sinking of the porch footings. They continued demolition while the sprinkler system was repaired. Kearns did top-notch work, with exceptionally good communication throughout (while waiting for city permits/inspections).
Description of Work: Demolished old 40-foot-long concrete porch all the way down to the footings, re-built porch footings, poured new concrete porch, re-installed porch support poles. Took care of all city required permits and stayed in touch with us all through the process.

I was not home when the install happened. My neighbors told me the workmen setting the stone were very particular in their selection. The stone wall is gorgeous! They had it finished in two days and they clean up after themselves!

The work went very well. Of all the contractors I brought in, they were not the cheapest, but they gave a written estimate which no one else would do. They were very professional and easy to work with. My only concern was on timing. They unfortunately had a difficult time geting started due to beauracracy due to permits, so I wasn't clear on when they would start. Additionally, when they were complete, they left no note to that effect. So when they didn't show up for 2 days I phoned to ensure they were done.
Description of Work: My rear patio, which is poured concrete, was too low and graded towards the house. Kearns brothers demolished the old patio, raised the grade, and poured a new one. No more rain pooling against the side of the house.

replacement windows

Salesperson Brendon Brownfield came out to do a quote on windows for our whole house. He failed to include tempered glass in the living room windows. We had to inform him that tempered glass was required by law because the window glass is less than 18 inches from the floor. After providing the quote, he then (30 minutes before our appointment) contacted us to inform us that the actual price would be $900-$1000 higher because he had failed to include the legally required lead-based paint abatement process in the initial quote. Communication was horrible throughout the process. We repeatedly called him to attempt to get information and did not receive return calls. Because we really liked the product, we were willing to meet with him one last time to discuss the issues with the quote. Our appointment was for 10:00. When he hadn't shown up by 11:10, we called him and told him not to bother coming out.
Description of Work: Fortunately, the problems occurred before we actually signed a contract. We did not use this company.

It is always regrettable when we have to visit a jobsite 5 years after an installation. But I believe the true measure of a company is one that stand behind their commitment. That is exactly what we did. We serviced the job and account without any cost to the homeowner.

On a scale of 1-10, they get 10! Shawn, the salesman, was a top notch professional! He gives sales people a good name! I checked out 3 or 4 other companies, and I could tell that they didn't come close to matching their service and quality. I price matched and he was willing to come down on the price to get the sale. They have a very high level of attention to precision and detail. You can get in trouble with siding if it's not down right, and they were very careful to make sure there were no gaps. They are James Hardy certified, and that really makes a difference in their craftsmanship.

The crew of men that came out and worked, did a good job. The workers were aware of other things that needed work and made sure they were fixed. There were very friendly, personable, and communicable about what they were going to do. They also provided me names of people they recommended on work they couldn't do. When the job was finished, they cleaned up very well. We are very happy with the results and would use them again in the future.

I had a big problem with the chimney and they stuck with it until they resolved it. There was a leak and it was not in the roof and they came back again and again till they repaired it. They were consistent. I would definitely call them again for any roof or gutter problem. I have used them several times over the years and have also recommended them to my neighbors. My neighbors have used them for roof and window works. Their price was good. They were punctual and professional.

After having to reschedule with them because of a timing conflict, Kearns bro came out to inspect a crack in my chimney that was believed to be causing a ceiling leak. After waiting over a week for a quote they finally called and left me a voicemail. I returned the call and left a message but did not hear back from them for an additional week when someone called to ask if I had been called with a quote yet. To my disbelief, this individual was not calling to actually give me a quote. Two weeks later, when I had still not received a quote I phoned them to inquire about it. One month later, they sent a sales rep over to drop off a quote. Although their price seemed reasonable, it was incredibly obvious that this was not a high priority job that they were willing to give any quality attention to. Though the quality of other work they had done for me was good, I will not be using this company again.

It was very good. They found an opening so they were able to replace the gutters earlier than expected which was good as the bad gutter was causing problems in my basement. Their ability to work quickly meant that my basement troubles were resolved faster. Their punctuality and professionalism was very good.

Project not started because they refused to give a quote without my paying $250
Description of Work: Called to ask if they serviced my area and they said "yes", but when I asked for a quote they wanted to charge me $250 to just come out to look at the property (They said they would take it off the price of the job if they completed the work, but when you are attempting to get quotes to compare, you cannot pay everyone money for an estimate)

Response from Kearns Brothers Inc
Kearns Brothers will ALWAYS provide a free estimate when requested to ANY homeowner in our service area. We do however have a policy of charging for an estimate when the client does not own the home. The charge for the estimate would be deducted from any work we might perform, should the client actually purchase the home at some point. We also always offer to provide a FREE estimate as soon as the client closes on the home. We have instituted this policy because it has been our experience that 99% of the time when a client does not agree to these conditions our estimate is only being requested as a negotiating tool in a real estate transaction. Again, we are always more than happy to provide our time, knowledge and expertise free of charge to any homeowner in our service area.

They were responsive as far as getting me a quote, but their price for a 30 year warranty on shingles was much more expensive than another estimate I received. When I told them I was going with a lower bid, they said they would lower their price. I think they should have offered me the lower price to begin with.

This year more than any other that I can recall in our 23 years in the Roofing industry have I noticed such disparity in pricing. I am aware that our pricing appears to be higher than other roofing companies on the outset but rest assured we have not changed our strategy in going to the marketplace. We continue even in these difficult economic times to install the very best integrated roofing system in the industry. We have decided to maintain this best business practice so we can maintain our strategy of delivering a superior product and service at a fair market value price.
