About us

Above Roofing started with a dedicated man who had a big idea. In 1995 Robert Freeman was a single parent trying to make ends meet while raising his young children. He had a passion to help others and used his knowledge and skills to start his own company doing home repair services. There were always homes needing roof work, and it quickly became his most popular service. It didn t take long for him to realize that many homeowners were being taken advantage of by other roofing contractors. Some were pressured by dishonest salesmen selling the homeowners things they didn t need or promising one thing but delivering another. Other homeowners hired guys who were nice but incompetent contractors, overlooking important aspects of the job just to keep the price down to win the bid. This often ended up causing costly leaks, mold and warranty issues. Another concern was with the people who were actually doing the work. While the sales person looked professional and seemed trustworthy, the guys that showed up to work on the roof looked like pirate crews with foul language and demeanors to match. These were guys he wouldn t want on his home or around his children! With each case Robert came across, he discovered a common denominator: a homeowner who was not given the information they needed to choose the right contractor. His heart went out to them. He knew he wanted to be a roofer that was different than the rest of the pack. He strived to go above the image of a normal roofing company - hence the name Above Roofing - by providing homeowners an honest, quality service at the right price, and it worked! Robert used a picture of his black lab to help represent the company because she was loyal, friendly and trustworthy- exactly what he wanted Above Roofing to be. It didn t take long for word to spread about this new company. Customer referrals became a huge part of growing the business, and it hasn t stopped since! According to Robert, Homeowners don t have to settle for poor workmanship or high pressure sales techniques. We believe homeowners can be confident in making an informed decision when hiring a contractor if they are equipped with the right information. Our job is to give them that information. Above Roofing has grown from a struggling young father with an entrepreneurial spirit to an award winning, thriving business supported by a great team of office personnel, estimators and roofing technicians who all share the same core beliefs on which the company was built.

The team did a great job. The estimator was very nice and knowledgeable. The crew was very efficient and worked the entire time they were on the job site. So far we are leak free and the roof looks great. I would highly recommend Above Roofing to anyone looking to replace their roof.

The customer service rep, Tommy, was very professional and truthful in his presentation of our roofing choices. He worked with us to meet our design needs. The actual installation was stretched out over 2 weeks due to a delay in the siding subcontractor's availability. A few months after the installation, we had an issue with the insulation in the roof. The owner of the company came out, viewed the situation and made it right by doing the work himself. He was very generous in meeting our expectations. I would recommend Above Roofing with the suggestion of going over the completed job with either the foreman or customer service rep to make sure everything is the way you want it - something everyone should do for every home improvement job!
Description of Work: We had a new roof installed along with new soffit, gutter and gutter guard. We also had some decorative siding pieces added to our existing siding.

Above Roofing Inc quoted around the same price as the company we have gone with. We liked the other company's product better. I felt the representative was here far too long trying to sell the product. It was an hour and a half or something ridiculous. He was much more a salesman than a people person. He wasn't bad, he was just more the salesman. His product was fine, his prices were a bit higher - we just preferred the other company's product.

Response from Above Roofing Inc
Thank you for your comments. We can appreciate how you feel. Many people purchasing a new roof may not understand the amount of time needed for a thorough evaluation of the roof system and to relay the details to the homeowner. In fact, many people spend more time planning a week-long vacation than a roofing project that will protect their most valuable asset for the next 20-30 years. As a consumer, we are used to being able to return a purchase (like a pair of shoes) if we are not satisfied with the product. Unfortunately, roofs are not returnable. We are stuck with the decision for the next 20-30 years; which is why it is important to make an informed decision when hiring a contractor. We have found that informed clients are satisfied clients. We are passionate about what we do and it shows! At the same time, we are committed to not using a high pressure sales approach.... just honest advice.

Above Roofing is a very professional organization and was very through in their estimate and educating us on the process.
Description of Work: We received a detail a professional quote from Above Roofing as well as from 2 other contractors that are well rated on Angie's List. Ultimately we chose one of the other contractors because they were a preferred installer of the brand of shingle we decided on.

They did very good. I was very pleased. I had questions later on in the year and they came back after everything was all done and checked stuff out. I was very happy about that because it seems most places finish the job and disappear.
Description of Work: They took a 2 layer roof off and put a new roof on my house. They also blew in insulation and re-cemented my chimney cap.

Everything went good the work was performed as described. My only concern was the clean up could have been a little better. I understand that it was a messy job pulling out the old insulation from the soffits but there was a lot of it left around the house. I did not contact the company about the situation as I understand it was late and there were other complications with the job that took a lot longer than expected and they did not charge any more than the quote I was originally given.
Description of Work: We had our roof vents redone and some of the seams flashed to prevent future damage. Also, had insulation installed and our soffits cleared of debris and properly vented.

Above was middle of the road in terms of quotes for the skylight replacement, but they carried the brand we had and their sale associate Jay was very professional. Plus their lifetime guarantee was a huge plus. Once our order was placed it took about a week for the unit to come in. The repairman who came out was quick, professional, and worked extremely hard in almost 100 degree heat to get the job done in one day. After installation you could never tell the shingles had all been replaced and work was done. After the next heavy rain we still noted some leaking. Jay promptly returned and inspected the installation himself. He noted there could also be a leak up higher on the roof at a vent pipe. Jay himself replaced the flange around that vent pipe that very same day, replaced the surrounding shingles, and reapplied tar to the vent pipe. After the next rain, no more water in the house. The previous skylight was still faulty as the seal was not properly installed, so we actually had two leaks. Above Roofing went above and beyond to make things right which was a huge plus for us, and has garnered our recommendation both here and to friends and family.
Description of Work: Had a leaking skylight that would drip water during heavy rainstorms. Above Roofing was hired to remove and replace skylight and repair leaking seal.

I don't think there was anything I didn't like about Above Roofing. The guy who came out and gave me the estimate and followed up after was very helpful. When there were problems they came back out the next day and fixed it without giving me any trouble. They made sure I was happy. They were great.
Description of Work: I have used Above Roofing twice. They replaced a porch roof and my garage roof.

We met with their representative July 27, 2012. The representative was seemingly very professional, including a complete package consisting of insurance documents, company history and assorted examples. He answered all our questions. We agreed to what work was to be done. I specifically pointed out an area that had been damaged by water back-up from an ice dam. I was assured they had "Master" carpenters who would make it look as "good as new". We were told the work would take 6 days. The crew arrived on the first day August 27th, and the crew foreman told us they would be using a "double crew" and the job would be done in 3 days! That was good news. He also again told me their "master" carpenter would do an excellent job on the ice dam damaged area. The first day there seemed to be an army of workers. The work day was about 8 hours. The job site was cleaned up entirely at day's end. The next day, the crew was considerably smaller. and the work day considerably shorter (6 hours?). The next day was the Friday before the holiday week-end, and the crew was small, and the day was over by 2. They understandably took the Monday holiday off, but the next day the crew consisted of 2 guys who stayed for about 3 hours. There was no longer any effort to clean things up at the end of the day. We had supplies, garbage, cigarette butts and tools left laying all over. One day an electrical cord was left hanging from the roof. The next "work" day started around noon, and was done by 2! On the following day around 10 AM, having seen no one on the job, I called the Company's office and inquired just how much longer this job would take, as there were still large parts of the roof unfinished, the gutters hadn't been started, and no crew in sight. After a few phone calls with the owner, the "Crew Chief" showed up with assurances things would be addressed promptly. The job ended up taking 8 days, and that was after I complained. I have little doubt it would have taken much longer if I hadn't complained. When I met with the "crew chief", he told me he'd made special arrangements to have the gutter people come out early to get the job done. This struck me odd that a job that he had told me would take 3 days, required "special arrangements" to get the "gutter guy" out to my house on the 8th day. The "master" carpenter was in fact a wood butcher who did an absolutely miserable job. It is an eyesore, at best. When the owner came to do a final inspection, he agreed it was a poor job. there was no offer to repair it, but he did discount the job $800. The owner admitted he had no "master" carpenters on staff, and yet on at least two occasions, his people assured me they did. The total experience has me wondering just how good a job they did on my roof. If I base the quality of their work on their carpentry work, I have serious concerns. I had researched roofing companies and found Above Roofing with an excellent track record. I can only wonder if their success has brought rapid growth they are not prepared to deal with. There was a serious lack of oversight by management. I was left with the feeling that regardless of having spent $20,000, our job became an afterthought, where they would send a couple stray workers over to put in a few hours work to keep us pacified.
Description of Work: Complete re-shingle with most of the roof boards needing replacement. Replacement of the entire gutter system, and carpentry work needed to repair damage to the overhang from previous ice dams.

Response from Above Roofing Inc
Thank you for your review - We understand your concerns and apologize for the issues that arose during the job. As it became evident during the process of the job that the carpentry work was more involved than originally expected, we should have stopped at that point and indicated that this portion of the job was outside our expertise. A miscommunication must have occured as we do some carpentry work but do not have a master carpenter on staff. We also were disappointed in the outcome of the carpentry work and thus deducted the full amount from your bill. Rest assured, the roof work has been done to our continued high quality standards and we will stand behind the workmanship of the roof for the life of the shingles. Our mission is and will continue to be to strive to provide a positive experience to homeowners while improving the look of their home and protecting their most valuable asset.

I obtained 4 estimates. I did not select Above Roofing due to my budget, however I was very impressed w/ Tommy Wall's knowledge, professionalism and service. Shortly into our appointment, I believe he realized that his quote would be beyond my budget. Instead of wrapping up our appointment, he answered several questions I had and served me for an additional hour. If my budget was not a consideration, Tommy would likely have earned my business.

It went well. They came out and showed me that a previous guy I had used had not done such a good job. They told me what my options were and how much life I had in my roof left. They told me I could just replace the fallen shingles for the cheapest price or go ahead and seal all the loose ones. It was more expensive but I went with that route because we had some moisture in our attic.

Jay was very professional during the estimate process. He provided ideas on how to resolve some areas that I had concerns about. He took his time answering all my questions during the initial meeting. When he returned to present the estimate, I had additional changes for some special work that I wanted done. He was accomodating and adjusted the estimate during that visit. He provided three different pricing options. The pricing was comparable to another estimate I got from a highly rated Angie's List Roofing Contractor. I decided not to go with Above Roofing because the other contractor's product and workmanship warranties were superior, in my opinion, given the comparable price.
