.They came as soon as the weather permitted and brought a large group and did the roof in one day. Later on another person came out and worked on the gutters, and the walls behind the flashing because this had all rotted away and needed replaced. He put the flashing on and overlapped the roof enough that it would go into the gutters. Than another group came out and put the gutters on. Each group has their own profession they specialize in even though they can do all of it. They sent out another person that did the windows and carpentry. They had to make two of the windows special.

I was very satisfied. I don't believe that I found them on Angie's List as it was a recommendation. I did not look on Angie's List because I got a recommendation. So, I am glad to put them on Angie's List. Everything was good and I would like to grade them highly down the line. I was very satisfied with all aspects of the work.

We've had so many storms so a lot of siding people blew me off. So far the guy was real good. He gave me an estimate and emailed me back to tell me he couldn't tell me exactly when we would do the work. he said as long as they didn't need to get inside at all then they would just come and do the job someday. That's fine with me, it's outdoors stuff and he doesn't need to announce himself to come and do the job. So far so good with them. We found him on Angie's List.

gutter repair, roofing, siding, chimney caps

Do research (internet) as much as possible about different materials, installation methods, valleys, etc.. Lots of shingles and other materials out there. Of importance to me were the gutter hangers, gutter thickness, material type, size of gutters and downspouts. I researched amount of drainage needed, etc., since I have a really long run of 90 feet which can hold about 1200 pounds of water . By the time I made the intial contact, I had completed a lot of research and listed quite a few questions. After initial contact and questions answered, I did some additional followup research. The only dissatisfaction came with the clean up. They did an absolutely terrible job of picking up the nails and staples. I finally went to Harbor Freight and bought a 30 inch magnet on wheelsl. I gave up counting, but after the roofers came back and cleaned up a second time, I still found a lot of pieces of metal around the two buildings. Most of the metal was roofing nails and staples, but also found a fair share of guttering nails. I estimate I found about 1000 pieces of metal in total. Many of these were staples and partial staples. Still, there were hundreds of nails.
Description of Work: Replaced roof on home and large out building with the same architectural Owens Corning. Also replaced all guttering, down spouts, damaged siding, and chimney cap. I asked for special underlayment on all protuberances - chimney, pipes, satellite base, valleys. Forgot the name, but it was a Tamko underlayment product with a "peel and stick" backing. Supposed to hold much better in extreme weather. The roofing team was very professional, IMO. They worked hard and were well supervised. The guttering team was from another company, but did good work (except for cleanup). The chimney cap guy was very good, IMO, and from a third company. Delay in making initial contact did not bother me as I had no leaks and was not in a hurry. Once contact was made, transaction proceeded in an expeditious manner. Spent all insurance money plus a little extra for some upgrades. Good to work with. Be sure you know your wants and needs prior.

Water coming in over doors. Found that there was no drip cap installed by door installer. Called to get estimate of situation and frankly someone to just come out and install the flashing in an appropriate fashion since it was leaking A LOT after each rain causing interior damage. Company returned call 2 weeks later but I had already rectified the situation because of the amount and severity of the leak.

The roof was installed as agreed, and we had no significant problems with leaks for several years. However, in the spring of 2011 we experienced heavy rains and a leak developed. The ceiling bubbled and then broke though, and we had water damage to some of our furnishings. When we called in a repairman and an insurance adjustor to determine our next course of action, we discovered that there was mold in the ceiling indicating leaks over a long period of time. We decided to tear the ceiling out. We then called in Richards to determine the source of the leaks, and their employee traced them to the fact that the flashing had not been replaced when the new roof was installed in 2007. That gentleman, the insurance adjustor, and several contractors all agreed that the flashing should have been replaced. Richards agreed to install new flashing and repair the siding at no cost. However, the cost of the leaky roof and damaged room was significant; we had to move and pay storage for all the furnishings, and we did not have use of the room for more than two months while repairs were being made. The cost of repairs and related expenses were $6300, and this was not covered by insurance since the damage was not 'sudden and accidental'. When we hired Richards to fix our leaky roof in 2007, we were relying on their expertise to do whatever was necessary to prevent future leaks. Each expert we talked with about the situation agreed that the flashing should have been replaced when the new roof was installed. Failure to do this ended up costing us a great deal in money, time, and effort.
Description of Work: In January 2007, we accepted a bid from Richards to repair the roof over our small den. The room was an addition to the original structure, and the company which remodeled the house in 2004 had installed a shingle roof. The roof had leaked in several places during 2005 and 2006. (We purchased the house in late 2004.) Our request to Richards was that they repair the roof so that it would no longer leak, and their course of action was to install a 'rubberized modified bitumen rolled roofing'. Workmanship was guaranteed for five years, and we paid $3200 for the new roof.

Response from Richards Roofing & Exteriors Inc
We feel we have not only honored our contract, but have gone over and above for this homeowner. 1) The flashing in question was not replaced because it appeared to be re-usable. (No line item to replace flashing was in the accepted proposal to install the roofing.) We do try to conserve customers' money if we truely feel that an item is not necessary. 2) Homeowner stated that numerous leaks were occurring due to prior workmanship by other contractor who installed addition, prior to our roof installation. 3) Richards Roofing & Exteriors agreed to install new flashing AT NO CHARGE, FOUR YEARS AFTER roof installation. At that time, the homeowner agreed that this would be a more than equitable solution.

We were referred to Richards from Paul Embree roofing, when the business closed due to Embree's retirement. Richards has been responsive and professional
Description of Work: I'm entering this report so I can find them again if I need a good roofer -- thought I'd lost their card and discovered I hadn't entered a report on Angie's list either! Sigh. I don't remember exactly when we had the work done -- and couldn't find the receipt to verify the cost, but it seems like it was about $250 apiece for standard skylights. A.ofter many problems with leaky skylights in the sunroom, Richards replaced two of them last year and we haven't had any problems since then. Now another one is broken so we need it replaced.

We were a little concerned with how to get these large skylights replaced (ie: what kind of a mess would be made by having someone replace them, etc). But we shouldn't have worried. We are 'Very Satisfied' with the experience in working with Richards Roofing and Exteriors. They made "neatness" out of an ugly mess. We would use them for anything around the house that they could tackle. Highly recommend this company.

They said to call them to come back in a couple of months because some times with this kind of roof it take some time for the damage to show up.

Called for an estimate and they sent us one with a brochure of colors and styles to choose from, and gave us addresses to see their actual installation of the color and style we were interested in. We put down a deposit and they called us with a target date. On the day of, they called it off due to rain and rescheduled for the next day. The next day they gave us a reminder call so we could remove our cars from the driveway which they had to block. They mostly finished but ran out of shingles and had to come back the next day for an hour or so. Beautiful clean timely job.

I was happy with them. We never met anyone from Richards Roofing. They did the bid while we were gone, mailed it and we talked on the phone. I was mildly disappointed that they didn't make it clear on the bid that the work would be subcontracted for gutter, but it clearly states so on their Angies List profile - so my fault. We really like the man they subcontracted out to, though it made me a little nervous that he worked alone with the roofline being so high. They were also helpful in matching the right color with windows that we had ordered but not had installed.
Description of Work: They removed very old existing copper gutters and downspouts that were in terrible shape and replaced with new aluminum ones. Not a tremendout amount of gutters (bid doesn't say how many linear feet), but the roofline is very high and so the downspouts were longer than your average house.

We got three competitive bids. They weren’t the lowest but we were most comfortable with them. The other folks did not even comment on our downspouts repair which they did. They did an excellent job. They were very straightforward and honest. They got everyone when they said they were going to get here and completed it in one day. I don’t remember how much I paid but it was competitive. They weren’t the highest but I thought their bid was the most comprehensive. They were excellent. They did a good job. I would most definitely use their services again in the future.
Description of Work: I used Richards Roofing & Exteriors Inc for my roofing. I last used their services probably six months ago. They did our roofing and actually suggested some repairs to our downspouts which I felt were correct.

Went great! The only issue was coordinating a time/date for the initial visit fothe estimate took a little longer than I expected. Work was done quickly and looks better than before. They showed me how the roof had been installed wrong - without being overly critical of the company that did the work. They were the first bidder - but I was so impressed I didn't even get a second bid. Getting lots of rain lately - but no leaks. Have recommended them to friends.
