John Beal Roofing

Description of Work: They performed concrete work on my steps, patio and retaining wall.

Description of Work: I used John Beal Roofing, a week ago.

Description of Work: They were supposed to do tuckpointing for us. They started about September/October sometime.

Description of Work: John Beal put the new roof on this home approximately 5 years ago - I moved in December of 2004, in January of 2005 St. Louis had 7 inches of rain in one - two days and a water coming in to the front wall of the front upstairs bedroom was identified ----I called John Beal, they came out and reflashed the roof and I had a women recommended by O'Tool's the rehabber come in and replaster, dry wall and paint the walls ---water started coming in again less than a year later and was evident on the walls under the paint --I called John Beal -- they came out to look at it and said nothing was wrong with the roof -- I waited sometime for it to dry and called John Beal several times in the year of so and they would come by, leave their business cards (I travel alot for work) and I never knew if they were really there, what they found etc -- in fact several times they would tell me they would come by -- I woudl wait and they would never show up --- finally the leak started getting much worse and damage on the wall more and more evident -- John Beal insisted this was a tuckpointing problem -- so I called a tuckpointing company and spent $1800.00 on tuckpointing of my front wall -- the tuckpointing company recommended another roofer who came by and saw some issues and quoted me $500.00 to fix -- in the mean time I turned John Beal into the BBB and they responded and corrected the $500.00 issues with no cost to me -- but this is after they said repeatedly for years that nothing was wrong with the roof. Then I was lucky enough to now deal with the Tuckpointing Company --I received three estimates for tuckpointing my front wall secondary to a leak damaging the front walls in my front upstairs bedroom. the tuckpointing company quoted 1800.00, and two others both around 700.00 respectively. The tuckpointing company sold me on their reputation "A" and the "insured and bonded" stance. Well I still have a leak after spending 1800.00 on tuckpointing - they were great in offering to waterproof the front of the house at no additional cost but unfortunately this was done half----- even the professional painter and roofer relayed that it was streaky and not applied evenly --- they listened to my complaints about water still coming in and blamed the roofers John Beal -- John Beal came over and fixed issues cited by the tuckpointing company with the roof, and then the tuckpointing company blamed the window and caulked around the front window and did this half ----- as well -- smeared caulking all over the bricks on the front wall. Now today October 08, 2009 -- I still have a leak and I am tired of calling the tuckpointing company (who the professional painter relayed they did a horrible job on tuckpointing) -the tuckpointing came by but unfortunately his workers do not live up to what he promises to have done and I am tired of calling John Beal -- as far as I am concerned I have been taken because I am a single female who is clueless on these type of repairs -- this is where Angies List can help no one --I have had this leak for 5 years one month after I moved into my home, John Beal came out intially to reflash the roof and I had the room replastered, dry walled and painted, then water continued to come in -- Nobody seems to know what the problem is -- Is it me or are both of these contracters totally worthless???? I believe I am going to take some classes in these types of repairs so I am not taken again ---Single Women Buyers Beware! Oh and I cannot forget to mention that the tuckpointing company came we a name of a friend that is a painter to clean up and replaster and paint my bedroom --- well -- he got started and water damage and leaks were still evident --- Mold grew all over the walls -- I am highly allergic to mold, he painted some things for me in another room and did a horrific job -- he was always late, would call to change times and the paint color did not even match -- its streaky and was the worst paint job I have ever seem in my life -- I paid this clown almost 600.00 for nothing -- his name is Albert Stemmler I would not advise anyone use this man for any type of work --- so I am out almost 2500.00 and still have the original problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Description of Work: He installed a TPO roof on one of our properties, as well as doing tuckpointing and gutter work.

Description of Work: John Beal Roofing Incorporated came out to replace the roof on my home.

Description of Work: Flashing installed on back porch roof where it joined the siding, front dormer and step flashing on chimney

Description of Work: I hired John Beal roofing to put shingles correctly. They were actually correcting somebody else’s mistake.

Description of Work: A leak in our roof developed over the kitchen. I contacted this company -- they came out, gave a not-to-exceed bid. Then, they came out and fixed our leak -- no more leak

Description of Work: I had some leaks in my roof, and they diagnosed the problem as loose nails. This required the replacement of some shingles.

Description of Work: Asked to repair roof. Did not do it and came back to try. Never found the leak and then just did not show up.

Description of Work: Replaced flashing and house vent on flat roof.

Description of Work: I hired the company to replace a leaky area in the roof. Initially the repair that was completed was successful. However, after a month the leak re-occurred and became worse. I contacted the repairman and he came back out and completed the same repair work with the same result. Thereafter, I had to follow up more than 4 times over the course of 10 months with various levels of management in the company, all the way up to the company owner. They wanted to charge me another $350 on top of the initial repair work and would NOT warranty the work. I hired a different roofer who immediately and correctly identified the problem. He indicated that John Beal and company had actually made the leak worse by putting an excessive amount of tar on the leaky area. The tar actually created a trough that caused the rain water to go under the shingles and leak inside the house. The second contractor completed a thorough repair of the area which included tearing off the excessive layers of tar, and replaced the tar paper and shingles. This was done at a cost of $650 and was WARRANTIED. The leak has stopped and has not occurred since.

Description of Work: They fixed a longstanding leak in our second floor bathroom. They removed the shingles near the damage and discovered that there was no flashing. They put a barrier down and flashing and shingles over top.

Description of Work: They came to our home to give us an estimate on repairing part of the roof.

Description of Work: I called this company for a quote on a roofing job.

Description of Work: They came and put a new roof on our entire home and they did a good job.

Description of Work: They took off my old roof and replaced it.

Description of Work: We desparately needed some of our brick tuckpointed as outside walls in a corner coat closet were soaked.

Description of Work: I needed a new 18-foot gutter on back of my house (flat roof, 2-story brick). Old gutter was sagging and pulling away, leading to water running down back of house (and into basement).

Description of Work: Garage roof repair/replace - tore off 2 layers asphalt shingles on one half of my garage roof, replaced a small area of rotted planking, reshingled and added drip edge.

Description of Work: They came out because we thought we needed caulking in a bay window. Ryan came out and didn't do a very good caulking job.

Description of Work: Our brick home is 65+ years old, and the chimney was clearly in need of some tuckpointing (e.g., chunks of mortar falling out, pieces of brick chipping off). Unbeknownst to us, the chimney was in such poor shape that it really needed to be torn down and rebuilt from the roof up (it extends from the ground to about 10-15 ft above the roof); we learned this after having two reputable contractors give us estimates, both strongly suggested rebuilding instead of tuckpointing. Anthony's crew tore down the chimney and rebuilt it (including a new cap) with matching brick. They did not replicate some of the previously existing detail, basically a long vertical strip of yellow brick, because finding matching brick would've been difficult, but we had agreed that this was not important. They hauled away the old brick and mortar. This work included a 1-year workmanship warranty.

Description of Work: We needed a leak repaired where our bay window meets our house. Removed shingles over bay window along siding wall. Replaced all step flashing and counter flashing and sealed. Then replaced with new shingles.

Description of Work: Removed 2 broken bricks from the exterior window sill on second floor. Replaced with new bricks and tuckpointed and re-mortared area.
