+ -1 moreThe crew arrived on time and worked all day to get the job finished, but changed to color on the drip edge without asking (went from white to brown, looks horrible now), left an open bundle of shingles on the roof (which came crashing down in a subsequent storm) and did not seal around the vent pipe gaskets properly. Worst part of all is that after collecting the check for almost $10,000, they STILL have not given us a receipt for the work (3 months later), so we have no proof of purchase and labor for warranty. I have e-mailed and called multiple times, but the won't even return my calls. Slick sales and sky-high promises- don't get suckered in like I did. Avoid them at all costs. I thought I was doing the right thing by supporting a small business, so this is a tough lesson. I would love to update this review if they ever decide to actually make things right (which would take them all of about 10 minutes) but I fear they have taken my money a moved on.
Description of Work: Tore off old shingles and replaced with new, replaced drip edge, replaced vent pipe gaskets.

+ -1 morePaul Scowley is really good to work with- if you want to have a quote for a house you want to keep or a quote to sell a house- he tailors the quote for what you want. Recommended upgrades only when it made sense- did not oversell. Very happy- professional. I was able to look at other houses to pick the color of the shingles. Good clean up and quality job- I recommend them.

+ -1 moreThe owner never showed up for the appointment. Worse, he didn't even call to reschedule and let me know not to wait around for him on a Saturday morning when I had many other things to take care of. Even worse, when I called the office around 10am and got their answering service, they said they will call him on his cell phone to remind him of the appointment and have him call me back. It has been 3 days and no call back. This company represents the WORSE kind of contractors. The kind that treat their customers like disposable items. There are many roofers around, I would stay away from this one.
Description of Work: Set up an appointment for 9am Saturday June 6th, 2015 to inspect a leak in the roof an give an estimate for repair.

+ -1 moreTim was very easy to work with. He showed up promptly for every meeting and came to inspect immediately after the job was done. He was helpful in meeting with my insurance appraiser too. The crew did a good job overall but they weren't quite as careful with plantings around the site as I would have liked, and the job foreman only checked in with me once to show me some damage, even though I asked for a report on some other areas of concern during the job. Overall, however, I would give them strong marks for execution as they were clean, prompt, and did a good job for a fair price.

+ -1 moreThe actual roof shingle replacement went well, they carried out the job on time, were professional, and cleaned up afterwards. The trouble we had came later. The replaced shingles in the front of the house started buckling, and despite several emails and a phone call, there was no response. We had given up, and then we found their ork crew at work on a neighbor's house. The person in charge of the work crew was very nice and came by when we asked to fix the problem. The real dissatisfaction we had was the lack of any response to repeated requests to address the buckled shingles. And the solution was rather simple - the foreman took out the covers of the gutters which were preventing the front shingles from adhering to the roof.

+ -1 moreTim is very likable and courteous and had the best priced bid of the three roofers we contacted (some of that may also be because he uses Tamko shingles while the other two used GAF; frankly we much prefer the look of Tamko over cookie cutter GAF). Tim also made an extra trip out to our house to help pick out the right color shingles for our house. On the scheduled day of work, all went pretty well. We had a small hiccup with some of our landscaping not being protected from debris, but it was resolved in the end. The work crew was incredibly efficient and hard working -- and it paid off. Lots of compliments from the neighbors. The crew also did an amazing job with the clean up. Given the size of our tear off, it was quite a mess, but by the time they left for the day (12 hours from start to finish), you'd never know the house had been re-roofed that day. We would HIGHLY recommend Tim's business to others.

+ -1 moreWhen you get a roof quote there is a charge for replacement OSB sheeting. I was amazed that Burke's charge was only $40/sheet- including the labor cost. I opted to do a lot of this after being shown the spongey nature of the old sheets and the presence of black mold. It's obviously the time to do this replacement when replacing the roof since the costs are so reasonable. I replaced 40 sheets. The next time around this shouldn't be so extensive because of the improved ventilation. These ventilation standards have changed appreciably in the past 30 years (my house is 35 years old.). Take a look at the roofs of new houses and you'll notice the heavy use of ventilation units. Don't put off a new roof. If it's over 25 years old it's time and you'll likely improve your inside air quality because of lowered humidity and mold count. Last March there was a tornado here in Dexter and I was more than a bit shocked to read that homeowners with roofs that were judged to and quot;be wantingand quot; by the insurance companies recieved pro-rated coverage on their loss. Homeowners whose roofs had not been repaired on a reasonable schedule were awared claims much below their coverage. So the economy of squeezing out another year or so from your old roof is false. Especially since getting a new one is such an efficient process with companies like Burke.
Description of Work: These guys are amazing! We had a rainy day delay on a Friday. Tim Burke "Made the Call" at 8:00am and the whole crew was here at 8:00am on the following Monday. We had as many as 12 people working. The work was finished at about 4:00PM. All the old roofing and replaced sheeting had been carted off and my yard areas checked with magnetic detectors for nails. I picked 4 contractors from Angies list to do the work. Two couldn't do the work for two weeks. One wanted a week and Burke could do it right away. They were also the low bidder by about $400. The Burke crew stripped off all the old shingles and roof felt. About 80 percent of my roof sheeting needed to be replaced. I made the call after being shown the state of the OSD. The inside surfaces felt waxy and damp and showed evidence of Black Mold. This is a consequence of inadequate attic ventilation. Previously there were three vents in my roof. Now there are ten. The roofers, in addition to doing a lovely, fast roof replacement; took down an old TV antenna and purchased and added extra insulation at the roof dormers where winter icicle formation indicated a heat leak. Of course, the additional venting and four feet of iceguard all around the lower roof periphery will help that. The roof replacement required removing all the gutters at the lower edge of the roof. These were replaced and are draining well.

+ -1 moreI don't remember any more details.
Description of Work: This was to repair an area on the roof that led to repeated leaking in our front entryway. It had been repaired before but the leak always came back. Our son then smeared a tar compound on the area and that held for awhile. One of the companies that made an estimate suggested he just smear some more, more widely, but we wanted a better fix. Burke's did a good job and we have had no further trouble. They removed and replaced shingles not only right where the leak was, but in a path further up the slope of the roof.

+ -1 moreThis review is way overdue,but no less sincere. My overall experience with Burke's was wonderful. Tim was friendly and punctual from the very first time I met him. He was knowledgeable about his products and did not try to sell me on services that were unnecessary --when I asked him to assess my attic insulation, he said it was in great condition. Tim helped me pick a color for my new roof that was very complimentary to my house. His crew was also courteous and punctual. Their prep work , installation and clean-up on my job was exceptional. Burke's stands by their work and told me if I ever have any problems with the work they did, they will come out and fix it , free of charge. I would highly recommend them.

He was thorough in explaining about the product he uses and how it is put on. He took plenty of time helping me choose a color for the shingles and trim.The job was done in one day. Clean up was very good. The crew did a good job protecting the plants around the house.
