The roof was up and on quickly, the cleanup for that portion was excellent I saw very few nails. I choose this company not only for the price but they recycle the materials both roofing and siding. I was told by several other companies that I wouldn't find anyone that recycled because it "costs more" and somehow they did it for the best price. The siding looks great! The repair required another color which closely matched mine. I was called and asked to come out and pick between close colors which I appreciated. My only complaint from the entire experience was that the cleanup after the siding wasn't great. I picked up 28 nails (and counting) from one side of the house. Aside from this small concern I'm quite happy with the situation. The installation wasn't at the same time so my recommendation to potential customers is to supervise the cleanup if you get multiple services that don't overlap.
Description of Work: From the standard roofing sheet: Stripped old roof off, installed 3D shingles, ice shield 15# felt, drip/rake edge, ice shields, new step flashing, replaced vent pipes, 15 vents, closed, valley, seal tab shingles, new step flashing on chimney, magnet clean up. Additional work: They replaced an entire side of the house for siding on the 2nd floor that came off in the wind. They also repaired the siding on the back of my home that was loose by taking it down and re-securing it.

These days you see so few really good, kind people that when you do encounter them it is a real treat. I live in Royal Oak, I have a two story house and the wind had blown my gutter away from the house so it was sagging in the middle. I have no ladder that will reach that high. I had called a couple of places listed as Gutter Repair and Replacement but one was too busy said I should buy the Big Deal coupon (even though the work shouldn't be that expensive). One didn't call me back, one actually didn't do repairs. I called Richards Roofing because I liked the reviews the customers had given them. Being local was important to me. I left a message and Jim called me right back. He said the repair sounded simple and he could be out the next morning. He was there the next morning as he said and was even early. By the time I took my kids to school he was almost done! WOW. He added brackets to support the gutter too. Then he even trimmed my vine that was growing up around the down spout. It was a beast and he did a great job. He was done in no time. Very pleasant and very professional. Jim didn't even charge me!!! Now that is rare. Feels like a neighbor taking care of me. I know I need a roof in a year or so and I will definitely be calling Richards Roofing. If you are in the Royal Oak, Troy, Madison Height, Oakland county area call them they are great!
Description of Work: Sagging gutter repaired. Nailed back in place and added supports.

Very well. Would definitely use this company again. Very prompt and Jim tried hard to please. Clean up was pretty good although we did find some nails in the driveway. That was our only complaint. Price was the best of all the companies we called. 3 of the other companies we called for estimates made appointments but never showed up. Found this company on Angies List and would definately call again. The best thing is that is was totally a no pressure sale. I would not have hired them if it was.
Description of Work: Replaced roof including 8 sheets plywood and added 10 vents.

Description of Work: Jim from Richard's Roofing came the next day as promised concerning our roof leaking. After examining our roof, he showed us pictures that showed we had several holes around our chimney and gables. Jim patched the holes and charged us nothing for his services.

The contract is their proposal, I would suggest buyers specify them pulling a permit, because its not on their proposal. Also expect 10% for roof board replacement, not specified in proposal . Overall the job went very well, they did a great job and roof looks great. They also did great job cleabing up debris.

I was really impressed. They were really good. The price was good. The owner himself was really great and prompt. The only negative experience was with the measurements guy. They had a delay for the roofing one day and the owner he called right away and said they could not do it. They rescheduled promptly. I would highly recommend them.

The owner was very nice to talk to when he came over and explained stuff. Unfortunately, the workers that came to do the job didn't do it as originally described and left nails and stuff on the deck. The shingles blew off a few weeks ago. They came out and repaired them, and then the following day some more shingles blew off so they came back out again. They were not cheap shingles that I had purchased and they said that had not happened before. The price was good, but I don't know that I would hire them again.
Description of Work: They replaced shingles in one small section of my roof.

Things went well ... first, they replied immediately and were here within two days . The call, set up appt. and work appt. were fast and EASY ... they didn't require that we be home for the estimate and took the initiative and began work when I was running late - FANTASTIC! VERY professional. We still have a gutter overflow problem but it's from the original work done by another copmany, not Richards. Richards went out of their way to diagnose the existing problem and offered solutions we're considering. Will definitely be calling this year to do the gutters and take a look at our lack of insulation!.
Description of Work: They cleaned gutters and ran water into ground pipes to determine why water's gushing over the gutter at the spout. Richards were prompt, kind and professional ... got all debris out of gutters and did it quickly!

We found excessive moisture in the attic and thought there was a leak. We called Richards Roofing and he arrived 30 minutes later. The roof was inspected and no major problems found. He repaired a loose shingle and did some caulking. We were very happy with fair price of $30 charged.

I am very pleased with Richard's Roofing. I initially called them because we had reliability problems with our last roofer. Jim was great. He came out to the house and diagnosed the problem which was not a roof leak and gave up suggestions on how to fix it. He didn't charge us a dime and gained a customer in the future. We will go back to Richards for our roofing needs in the future.

I will submit a full report when the work is completed.
Description of Work: I called Richard's Roofing on Tuesday, January 17th. I spoke with Jim, who offered to come right out to give me an estimate. I was on my way to another appointment; we scheduled the estimate for the next day. Jim phoned me the next morning to tell me he was on his way; he showed up right on time. He looked at our gutters and came to the conclusion that they just needed sealed, but the work could not be properly done until springtime. I told him I would definitely be calling him to do the job once the temperatures were warmer. I've had a lot of quotes on different work over the last few years; this was the first time the person actually called me when they said they would and was here right on time. He could not have been nicer. Would highly recommend and will submit a report when the work is complete...after meeting Jim, I expect it to be perfect.

Does not return phone calls or email. I called because this company ACTIVELY ADVERTISES roof repair and makes a special note for seniors. It would be nice just to have received a call that this company could not do the job, was too busy, or whatever. Instead I waited and waited and heard nothing. Since no one would even discuss roof repair, I used the money to pre-pay my funeral. I have voice mail and caller ID, so it's unlikely that a call was returned and I missed it. Definitely no reply to email either. Really leaves a senior in a dangerous situation not knowing if they will receive help. I found this to be rather typical of roofing companies. Therefore the thousands went toward my funeral instead. Very sad to be treated so badly.
Description of Work: Did nothing. (December 13 was one call date; entered only because service date required)

Overall the installation experience was excellent, though it took a few days longer than expected (6 in total). Also a few window screens were damaged in the tear-off (falling debris), but once they were alerted, they offered to pay for their repair. All my questions regarding the chimney flashing and roof ventilation were honestly answered.
Description of Work: A complete tear-off of old 3-tab shingles and installation of new dimensional asphalt shingles on all pitches of the roof on the main home (garage not included) and re-flashed the chimney. Installed solar tube through roof over bathroom.
