Estate Claim Services took care of our hail damage on roof of home and garage. Mark L. was very professional and always available for questions and feedback. He worked with our schedule and contacted Insurance Company to ensure the garage roof was included in the work. The work was completed 2.5 days, and the quality of the work and crew was excellent. We are very pleased with the color choices and our new roof looks great! Adam D. Minneapolis, MN

WE WERE SO HAPPY WITH MARK AND JAKE AND OUR TWO CREWS THAT DID THE ROOF AND THE SIDING. THESE FOLKS WENT OUT OF THEIR WAY TO SO THE THE WORK WAS BEING DONE TO OUR SATISFACTION. MARK AND JAKE WERE ALWAYS AVAILABLE WHEN EVER WE HAD A QUESTION. WORK WAS BEING DONE ON VERY HOT DAYS BUT YOU WOULD NOT KNOW IT BY THE WAY THE ROOFING AND SIDING CREW KEPT AT IT. MY WIFE AND I ARE MORE THAN HAPPY WITH THE OUT COME. WHEN MARK INSPECTED THE ROOF AND SIDING, HE CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND WE SET UP A CLAIM AT THAT TIME. I HAVE TALKED WITH OUR FOLKS ON OUR BLOCK AND AFTER SEE THE WORK THAT WAS DONE THEY ALSO SIGNED WITH MARK. ITS NICE TO SEE A COMPANY THAT IS A+

I can't say enough good things about Estate Claim Services and the roofing/siding work they did on my home. From Day 1, my field rep Mark L. did a fantastic job! Not only did he call in the insurance claim on my behalf, he was extremely helpful and patient throughout the entire process, keeping me informed every step of the way. His professionalism and commitment to my satisfaction made it an absolute pleasure doing business with him and ECS. And of course the roofing/siding crews were also top-notch - fast, friendly and their quality of work was excellent. I highly recommend Mark and Estate Claim Services.

All i can say is WOW! When i was approached by an estate claims services rep, the magic started. First i was unaware of the ability to replace my damaged roof at the insurance companies expense (minus deductible). So needless to say what a relief. They handled all the heavy lifting in dealing with the insurance company and the actual work, which was top notch. All the work was completed in a couple days,which was great. They cleaned up quickly and efficiently. And the work was perfect. In a world full of people just trying to do the minimum, Its refreshing to trust again. Thanks to all the roofers and reps at Estate Claim services for your honorable work. I would highly recommend Estate Claims to all.

With winter approaching they really got the roof, window wraps and awnings done very quickly and they looked great. This company was great to work with.
Description of Work: After a storm in Sept we had some roof damage and other minor Hail damage on other parts of our house. They were in contact with my insurance company right after they took a look at our roof to get a idea of damages and estimate . Luckily my insurance company approved everything so that Estate Claims could go ahead and repair the damages.

Great company to work with. Estate Claim Services replaced my roof and gutters after some bad weather came through our area and caused damage to my house. They coordinated the entire project with me and my insurance company, recommended shingles brand and replaced my plastic gutters with seamless gutters. The whole experience was flawless. Very happy with this company and would highly recommend them.

We feel this company was just out cruising the neighborhood and trying to convince homeowners that they needed work that was NOT needed. They said one area of our roof was so bad that they were going bring out a blue tarp the next day. They never did that, and once they met our insurance adjuster at the house, we never heard from them again. Their technique of lifting up sections of roof shingles to show us how we had wind damage is not an accepted technique in the industry. Although they didn't try to charge us anything, we feel they are "storm chasers" and not reliable.
Description of Work: They told us we needed roof repair or replacement, but our insurance adjuster said our roof was fine except for a few nails that needed replacing.

Terrible. We would never use this contractor again. They are complete storm chasers!!!
Description of Work: Replaced our roof. However, the original estimate was to replace 2 overhead garage doors, sand and stain exterior deck, as well as remove and replace our roof due to hail damage. This company is a storm chaser. They knocked on our door right after the hail hit and offered to work with our insurance company. They asked to see a copy of what our insurance was paying and that was what they billed us (plus our deductible) They only completed the roof and stalled on everything else until we finally said we would get someone else. But when their bill came they wanted the entire added depreciation amount for the entire job as well as our deductible of $2000. They sent their bill to our insurance and got paid. In the end our insurance wouldn't pay for all of the remaining costs because Estate Claim Services had taken most of the claim amount. We would never use this company again and we are telling everyone else what happened to us.

Response from Estate Claim Services LLC
It is with great regret that I have to respond to this terrible and dishonest review. Especially, as this customer came to us as a family referral through one of our field reps, Josh Harwell. We never knocked on their door. They came to us. After completing the roof the customer started to ask for kick-back from insurance proceeds and to have us pay their deductible. After we explained that we have to work per insurance scope and pricing and it is fraudulent to absorb deductible or to have any kick-backs, the customer did not want to continue the project. We invoiced their insurance exactly for what we completed which was roof. The insurance check went to the customer and the customer refused to pay us for 3 months claiming that the billing was incorrect. It took many phone calls by us and finally by their own insurance company to the customer to convey that the billing was for the roof only and absolutely accurate. Our company is locally owned and operated. We are an honest business and are proud of our workmanship. It is obvious that this customer is not complaining about the workmanship even once, but simply badmouthing the company. There are no bases for this poor review as the billing was accurate and the part of the project we were allowed to complete was completed perfectly. It is very upsetting having to reply to such complete and utter slander. I even contacted Angie's list to have this review removed. Unfortunately, they can't. Sincerely, GM Alex Margolin

Our neighborhood saw a few different door knockers come through last summer asking about possible roof storm damage. We had considered the possibility of storm damage, so we allowed an Estate Claim Services (ECS) rep take a look at our roof. I'm not sure we would have qualified for storm damage if we had not had discontinued shingles. It was a good sell by ECS, and after some discussion with a couple other contractors, including a building contractor, we decided to go with ECS, signing a contract in late October 2014. They also won the bid because of their willingness to fix a 12'x8' roof slope issue (other contractors offer the same service) that caused ice dam problems during a couple past winters. What I didn't realize at the time was that ECS is not a building contractor but rather a claim service that bids out the work they bid on. This is where issues came rolling in. ECS assured us, and guaranteed us, that the work would be done right and done well. Unfortunately we ran into a number of issues using ECS, including unsupervised subs and poor communication. The first issue we found was a couple roof vents were shingled over that I had to point out to ECS. The city inspector I spoke with said this happens once in a while, but should have been caught by a job sup. Vents should also have been counted, especially when you may have extra vents lying on the driveway that should have been used. Second issue was the roof slope was done without the correct support and had to be done twice. I took photos of the work (I had to take a many photos overall) and showed ECS the amount of "bounce" there was on the new slope when I stood on it, but the proper support was still not added a second time. I even handed one of the ECS reps (Vlad) a diagram I found online showing the correct truss and sleeper board support since he seemed confused by what I was talking about, and compared it too photos of their work on our roof. Not sure if this work was done by ECS or a 3rd party contractor, but it should have been done by a remodeler to avoid issues. Fortunately the city inspector thought it would be waterproof enough, but not 100% weight proof. Didn't leave me with a very confident feeling. Another issue was the discovery of roofers standing on the edges on our gutters. Not on the roof, but on their toes on the gutters. As I pointed this out to the job sup onsite, he laughed and said something like "they only weight 120 pounds". If the gutters broke loose, the fall would have only been 10-12 feet, though they may have been harnessed in. Nonetheless, two front getters were bent and needed to be replaced. This was careless workmanship and should not have happened. I advised Vlad at ECS last fall to drop off the new gutters so I could paint them before install, but they were installed unpainted. A third gutter also needed to be replaced where the roofers kept their main ladder onto the roof. Long story short, the gutters just got painted on/around July 17th this year to complete the roofing job. A total of nine months to finish a 3-4 day job. Other issues included poor clean up (I still have a strip of material hanging from a tree), an unused satellite dish reinstalled on the roof that I did not want reinstalled (told sales rep Joe 3 times about this, twice while he and I walked around the house) and the roof contractor tossing siding that was temporarily removed to fix the roof slope, new siding needed to be ordered. Communicating with the subs could have avoided all of this. The ECS painter who finally came to paint our gutters this summer came to our house twice WITHOUT paint. We then discovered the reason he couldn't finds the paint at Sherwin Williams, it was because the ECS office gave him the name of our siding as the paint color. I had to shake my head at that one. There were many frustrations, a number of emails addressing issues and finally a sit down conversation with Alex and Vlad to discuss all the issues. I will say ECS does a good job working with insurance companies to file claims for you, but I would assume a contractor looking to win a bid for a high margin job would be willing to earn your business and would do the same leg work. I would not fail ECS, since the work was completed and passed inspection. At best they might have earned a C-, but there were too many issues that left us needing to be home to "supervise" the work. With an easy roof, and less concern about the quality of work performed, ECS would probably do a fine job. Due to the lack of sub supervision and weak communication from and within ECS, next time we will consider a building remodeler or a contractor that has the experience and resources to do the work in-house or ability to hire/pay quality subs.

Dear Mr. [Member Name Removed] I am sorry to hear that my company did not meet all of your expectations. I do recognize that there was a few bumps on the road. The project itself had a certain degree of uniqueness involving a build out in the problematic section of the roof. The whole section had to be raised and the new rafters, decking and ridge had to come in flash with existing portions of the lower and the upper parts of the roof, which took longer time to complete. Research also had to be done in order to find a solution to a ventilation of the raised area since this specific part became enclosed and did not have any regular soffit intake vents. I am glad, that the functionality of the roof was not at question after we were all done with it. Another part of the overall project was addressing the potential attic insulation problem with possible water damage done over time in the past years. On top of that, if you remember, there was a siding installation involved as well. Special order siding takes more time then usual. I am sorry, that the paint for the gutters took a few tries to match. I am glad that in the end it turned out to be that you had the original paint for it all alone and decided to share it with us. By no means am I trying to imply that everything went as smooth as it usually does. I am just trying to say that there were quite a few more moving parts involved than it usually is with the straight forward re-roofing project, that under the normal circumstances would in fact take (you are correct) 3 to 4 days to complete for the roof of your size. Your input during the whole build-out project was greatly appreciated. The issues involving the member of the team using the gutter as additional support as well as the other issues brought up by you, were addressed with the subcontractor and resulted in extra instructions provided and additional measures taken, including certain limitations applied to that specific subcontractor's involvement in future projects. I would also like to re-assure you that you are covered by our outstanding 10-year warranty that is considered to be some of the best in the industry. On top of that, since we are a Preferred Contractor with Owens Corning we were able to provide you with the 50 year Owens Corning Extended Warranty that covers their product and our labor associated with the replacement/repair of defective product. Dear Mr. [Member Name Removed], thank you again for your valuable comments that will allow us to improve our performance. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any potential questions or concerns Sincerely Vlad Fogel The Owner of Estate Claim Services

Just want to share my experience: I hired Estate Claim Services (ECS) in 2014. I had never had an insurance claim or had any major remodeling done to my property before. I was very nervous at first, as my initial insurance estimate didn't seem to be enough to cover the project. ECS assured me that they would directly negotiate with my insurer on the scope and pricing of the project to make sure it was adequate and my only out-of-pocket cost would be my deductible. As they promised, they worked closely with my insurance and even though the process took some time, at the end it all happened as they said it would. Once the scope was agreed upon, ECS brought a very knowledgeable window rep to explain different product options which was extremely helpful. Once I made my choice, the windows were ordered. I had 8 windows and 1 patio door installed. The installation took only 2 days and a few hours on 3rd day for minor touch up and final clean up. The crew was very professional, polite and knowledgeable. They covered the floors and furniture and treated my personal belongings like it was their own. Production manager and sales rep stopped by during the project and for the final walk-around. Their office was on top of things. I would definitely recommend Estate Claim Services.
