Wonderful! We are very pleased and am glad to no longer be the "ugly house" on the block! We contacted Kearns Brothers in Fall 2016 and were able to schedule the work for Spring 2017, which was best for us. Calls were returned promptly and the estimate was received quickly. Once we hired Kearns, there was no money exchanged. We were told payment was not due until the work was completed to our satisfaction. I couldn't believe this, as it was an expensive job! The process was somewhat stressful, as this type of work is weather dependent and we had many things to line up to make the house available. The people at Kearns were sympathetic to our situation and did the best they could to pin-point when the work could be done. I REALLY appreciated that! The crew got right to work and were very efficient. They were respectful of my yard, my neighbor's lawn, and the area in general. The work was completed on time and looks beautiful. We have received many compliments. I would definitely recommend Kearns and would use them in the future.

It went great, better than we expected. From the initial phone call we made for an estimate to the completion of our roof. Scotty p. our sales representative was very informative, from beginning to the end he listened to our concerns provided options and solutions. Everything was done when promised, they arrived on the day and time they said they will, with a crew of about 15 people and worked over 12 hours a day for 3 days until the roof was done. We are extremely happy our new roof. We will be using Kearns Brothers again for future projects on our home.

This did not go well. Although they did the initial installation and the shingles had about 10 years yet to go on a 25 year warranty, I don't feel Kearns gave me a break on the price of the repair. They also took weeks to come and tarp the roof to prevent further damage. When they quoted the job the representative indicated the new shingles would look almost identical to the shingles on the rest of the roof. That was not the case at all! I was able to get the color difference to be less noticeable by having the entire roof professionally washed. Kearns would not pay anything toward the cleaning or adjust their price to in any way compensate me for the extra cost and aggravation.
Description of Work: I had Kearns repair and replace some roof shingles (which they installed about 15 years ago) where my roof leaked.

If you were not interested in the project it would have been a simple courtesy to let us know so we are not wasting our time.

Roof never stopped leaking after they installed it. They said they forget to put the flashing up in the corner of the home, they put it up and it still leaked. They tried to tell me it was the painters fault that water was coming through the walls, what a joke, had them back out a few time and did nothing, wouldn't even give me an estimate on repairs after warranty ran out. Had living painted 3 times to cover up water stains and water still leaks through. Pathetic job.

We installed the roof in 2001. And we did have to provide service on the roof. In between we provided estimates for windows, gutters, masonry and porch work. The gutters and porch were contracted for in 2007. There was additional service work (flashing as mentioned) that was installed in 2009. Replacement and installation of flashing became standard practice for roof installations after 2001. We regret the installation has not performed to the standard of performance we all wish but we are proud of our commitment to not ignoring the situation and service to the roof even after all these years.

I want to say that they told me that they couldn't do it. That they didn't do the roof. It was for roofing repairs, and they said since they didn't do the roof, they couldn't do the actual repairs. No, they just said that they wouldn't do it. That they wouldn't do the job. They didn't even ask me on the phone if they did the original roof, and I said no. Then they came out, and said they couldn't do it. It was almost like a waste of time.
Description of Work: None, I just got a quote from them. There is a leak in the roof area, where the caulking and shingles are dripping in the interior of the house.

Both crews were excellent. The Kearns sales representatives were prompt in their call backs and arriving at the house for quotes etc. They were reasonably priced and did what they promised they would do in a high quality manner. The working crews were also prompt, polite, neat and competent. They met us before they started the jobs to tell us how they were going to approach the work (probably because I was home -- I didn't really expect them to do this) and they reviewed the finished work with us before they left. I highly recommend this company

It went very well, in most ways. The driveway is gorgeous and we get lots of compliments on it. The carport, pillars, porch overhang work is good, but not great. The workers who dealt with the pillars/siding of the carport did not have great attention to detail. The pillars of the carport were supposed to be set on cement/concrete embedded in the ground, in order to not sink. Those embedded parts were put into the ground, but when the pillars were installed, they were not directly over those inserts. Now, if the ground shifts, as it did with the previous pillars, part of each pillar is stabilized and part will shift with the ground. The siding also seems to be pulling away from the porch/overhang/carport a bit, and it has only been a few months.But the driveway is awesome.
Description of Work: We needed a new driveway put in (and the old one removed and taken away). In addition, we needed the carport pillars replaced, and the carport siding redone. Also, the porch/overhang redone, with the pillars replaced and railings removed.

Kearns Brothers exceeded our expectations. We used Kearns Brothers for a new roof and new siding on our home. Working with Mike and his whole team was an enjoyable experience and we are very happy with the finished product. All aspects of the process with Kearns Brothers was easy and seamless from beginning to end dealing directly with Mike (the owner) to scheduling with the ladies in his office. Our roofer, Arnie, was great and he kept in touch with us throughout the project, even sent me picture messages of the progress as they were completing the roof which was very cool. They can be trusted and they provide great quality work you can count on. We would recommend Kearns Brothers to anyone.

It was just fantastic dealing with Kearns. Scotty P was dynamite and very clear through each of the steps for the projects. The quality of the team that Kearns sent to the house was also very impressive. They were very concerned not to cause any harm to our landscape and did an outstanding job of cleaning up before they left. I really like that the project manager met with us prior to his departure to ensure we were satisfied with the work. He walked us around and pointed out the various things they did to complete our job with a focus on high quality. Scotty P. also checked in with us afterwards to ensure we were satisfied with everything. I need other projects to be done at our home and I wanted to hire a company for our roof to start the process. I'm so pleased that I'll definitely contact them again! I highly recommend Kearns and Scotty P!

Salesman was nice and professional however, we felt we were taken advantage of regarding the outrageous price. We have a 2600 sq ft home and yes a pretty steep roof with ridges and cuts but $37000 which is the low end of the quote is out of the question. Our second quote from another roofer came in at $15,600 which is more in line. We felt that Kearns either didn't want the job and over quoted or tried to sell a roof to an uninformed buyer. I could only imagine if this was a couple with no knowledge and naive and just said yes okay sounds good. I discussed with other builders and roofers and all agreed that $37,000 is ridiculous. We fully understand the warranties and products that go with the roof but Kearns did a dis-service and confirms that you should always obtain three quotes for any job.

[Member Name Removed], I am sorry that you felt you were being taken advantage of with pricing. We don't do that. I thank you for the positive comments on our professionalism and knowledge. I would like to share these points and perspective: Prior to our sales rep developing a proposal: we invested in a satellite report to provide us with accurate measurements (because trying to measure your roof from the ground/roof top would yield inaccurate measurements). These reports are the same reports that insurance companies use when they need to develop a claim. We reviewed your job and the labor costs associated with your job with our roofing supervisor. Our supervisor has over 27 years experience from installation to preparing all levels of proposals. The complexity of this roof design lends itself to a tremendous amount of material waste as well as increased labor costs due to reduced productivity. That is how the pricing of your job was determined. Your roof design has 26 different facets (increasing material waste) and a 10/12 pitch that again, reducing productivity. We project your job to take the better part of three days using a seventeen man crew to: set up, prep the grounds, protect the exterior of your home, install, and clean up. We are extremely confident in the GAF Weatherstopper roofing system so much, we install 100% of their components on your roof, not just some. Our installation procedure includes usage of additional roofing components to provide the safety and security of wind protection up to 130mph. Our Promise: Lifetime installation guarantee. We can make this promise and deliver on our promise because of the experience, quality, integrity and professionalism of our roofing crews. We thank you for the opportunity to prepare and present a roofing proposal to you.....gkearns
