Edward's Roofing and Repair

Very well.

I would like to start off by saying; one of the last things I expected to do was replace a roof on an 8 year old house. There was no storm damage or any hail pings. We had shingles sliding out in groups of 4 and 5 shingles at a time. After having the roof inspected by a couple of local companies in Birmingham, Alabama, the verdict was disheartening. They both came to the conclusion that my 30 year architectural shingles had been installed incorrectly. They were nailed in the wrong spot as well as an improper nail pattern. The original builder went bankrupt and was no longer in business, so we had no other recourse than to replace the roof at our expense. I grew up in St. Louis and was talking to one of my friends and he suggested that I get a quote from Edwards Roofing & Exterior. We talked on the phone and he sent me some references and insurance paperwork. Ed was able to do a bid with satellite technology his roofing company uses. He also stated that my roof was under-ventilated, which I had not hear from the local contractors. Ed explained that under-ventilation could lead to premature shingle failure and mold. I found that doing business over the phone with Ed was easy. We called his references and then decided to award the job to Edwards Roofing & Exterior. The day before his crew showed up, the materials and dumpster were delivered. I have a fairly large roof with complicated angles as well as a steep grade. They completed the job in two days, which conformed to the timeline bid. Clean-up was excellent. The only nail I found was under the dumpster when it was picked up the day after the job was completed. Ed?s company was very competitively priced and very knowledgeable. My new roof looks great and now it is properly installed and ventilated. I would highly recommend his company to anyone inside or outside the St. Louis area. Ed also came down to personally oversee the work being done. This was unexpected. Once again, great job!

The crew did a great job. Very professional and got the job done in 2 days. There was no trash or nails or any mess left behind at all.. I really like the fact that it only took 2 days to tear off and put the roof on since you never know what kind of weather me might get here in St Louis. Edwards professionalism was outstanding as well. Thank you for your honesty and punctual work!

So when Edwards Roofing says that no job is too small as their website states -- they mean it. They did not treat me as some one to put off for when the "big" jobs were all done. They took care of me as if I was important as a big sale job. I found them in the Oakville call newspaper I like to use local companies such as Edwards. I will definitely be calling them for all my future roofing needs. In Oakville, MO it seems that this is once a year. I can rest easy now with the coming snow forecasted this weekend knowing my roof is fixed. Thank Goodness I found these guys!

The company came out and checked the roof thoroughly. We told them what they wanted and received a written quote from them with the request to sign the contract. In the fine print on the back of the contracted it was stated that we were giving Edwards Roofing full right to assign this contract to any contractor of their choosing at any time. In other words, we were giving them full permission to subcontract this work out to whomever they choose and we had no say in it. When we checked to make sure that we understood the clause and then stated that we would not sign the contract unless the clause giving them full right to assign the job was deleted, we were informed that unless that clause was included in the contract, they would not do the job. We chose not to sign the contract "as is" since it was apparent that Edwards roofing would not be doing the job but would be assigning it to someone else.

This being my first experience with roofing, I got bids from more than 6 local roofing companies to ensure that I got the best quality for my money, and Ed's bid was by far the lowest. His bid also included a 30-year roof, as opposed to the 25-year roofs bid by every other company as well as replacement materials so there weren't any surprises when I saw the final bill. It wasn't a penny over what was bid. He came to my house and showed me, in detail, what was going to be done and personally supervised the installation. He knew that I was under time constraints to get the roof finished for insurance purposes, so on the first weather-permitting day, he and his crew started work and were done the next afternoon. The snow on the ground made clean-up difficult in the backyard, so they came back again after the snow melted and did a second clean-up to ensure that there wasn't any mess left. Ed is the owner of the company and his reputation is clearly important to him. He wouldn't accept payment from me until the work was complete and he was sure that I was happy and called a couple of weeks after completion to make sure I was still satisfied with the completed job. His company may not have many reviews on Angie's List yet, but I would recommend him to anyone in the market for a new roof and encourage prospective customers to at least get a bid from him. I couldn't be happier with the new roof or the service I received!
