Their price beat other bids, and the quality of work was excellent. Every single member of the staff was great.
This Company is top-notch.
Nice job.
First let me say they have been very nice people in every aspect. I don't like giving even slightly negative reviews to nice people, but quite frankly, nice doesn't keep my house dry.
They came and gave us an estimate. The initial estimate was for $550. Then, when they got on the roof to start working the notice wood rot. The worker stopped and said that they would need to get another estimate because the damage was more extensive than what he thought. I understand that, you can't always know what's going on underneath. About a week later the rep came out and looked at the room and gave us the new estimate of $2200 for all of the work that would need to be done. We told them to proceed. My husband also told them that we would we would be going out of town and we were told that would be fine, they would fix the roof on the Thursday or Friday that we were gone. We got back on Sunday night and the roof wasn't done. The worker did come back on Memorial day to finish the roof. In talking to him I learned that he had been sick and couldn't finish the first day he came out. He finished and everything looked great. A couple of days later our skylights started leaking. I called and e-mailed the company because I was concerned. The man came out to look at our skylight, he said he sealed everything again but he didn't see any reason for the leak. The next rain, our skylights started leaking again. The man doing the work had given me his cell phone number so I called him. He said it was probably a bad skylight and he would have to have someone come with the rep and look at the skylight. It took a little over a week for them to do that. I wouldn't have minded so much except it rained a lot and damage was done to our ceiling that was not there before. I guess I thought that they might have come out and covered the area with all the rain we were having if they knew it would take that long to get there. They came out and did work again, I wasn't home and I was left a note with the worker's cell number again. I was never told if the skylight was replaced or not, 3 weeks after the skylights had been "fixed". Yesterday I called the cell because of a non-water issue that was concerning. The man had told me that he had told my husband of that issue and that the skylight was not replaced but it was just resealed. I felt like they looked at my case as a case closed thing. Now I'm left with a ceiling with awful water damage that I'll have to pay to repair.
All in all they were very slow to respond to any issue after the contract was signed. I feel the professionalism was lacking because they did not seem concerned about the work was done. I'm also a little upset because they never even offered to look at the drywall or patch it.
My favorite moment of this was when I called the office. I was upset because of all the damage and lack of communication. I explained the situation to the woman on the phone. I told her I was sorry because I knew she wasn't the one doing the work and this was the first time she had heard my issue and she told me "that's ok, I get people calling to complain all the time."
We set a date for installation (about 4 weeks out) and were pleased to get a call that they could accomplish the installation two weeks early then planed.
Job site: they protected everything including our swimming pool, window, landscaping and even put tarps down in the driveway to protect against oil leaks from their truck. Much appreciated! They also combed the grass with rolling magnets to pick up nails or staples that might have been put there during the removal of the old roof.
Service: They showed up with a large crew and a supervisor when they said they would. All employees were wearing company shirts and polite. This is a fairly large roof (50 squares). They were in and out in one day! Impressive.
I would definitely recommend Bone Dry to a friend or neighbor. They performed as advertised.
Roofing can be a very dirty job, with lots of debris and things to clean up.. They did an excellent job of cleaning up things.
The roof and the new shutters look beautiful. We are very pleased.
"ThanK You very much for the kind words.. Ron Russelburg"
THEY ARE PROMPT, COURTEOUS & GET THE JOB DONE QUICKLY.
I WILL CERTAINLY HIRE AGAIN IN THE FUTURE.
Since this was part of a mold remediation job, the roofers did agree to let the mold remediation men work inside the attic as they tore off the roof so that the molf men could scrub in the small angle at the roof edge and so that they could work for at least part of the day with good ventilation. At first Bone Dry was hesitant about this, worried about the mold men getting hurt. But the two companies saw that it was possible. So that was a good omen.
There was only one bump at the outset of the total roof replacement. Bone Dry was sure they did not need a building permit and also that they intented to a thinner plywood than I was comfortable with. Just to make sure, I called my local building permit office. Bone Dry was correct; they did not need a building permit. But, the minimum thickness for the plywood decking was 5/8" Bone Dry made the change without resistance (and the bid was adjusted for the change) and I also learned later that they had called city hall themselves.
I've takend care of this house for 37 years and this is the best work experience I've ever had.
In March of this year, we needed a complete roof due to storm damage. Because of our past experience with Bone Dry and Ron Russelburg, Gen. Mgr., we only called Bone Dry for a bid. Again, we were impressed with the proposed quality of their proposal and the professionalism of Ron. Ron worked with our insurance company adjuster to offer us a fair settlement. Although we did not have other bids, we did have the agreement of our insurance adjuster that the price was reasonable. Ron offered other upgrade options for our consideration without any "salesman" pressure. We elected some of the upgrades which were in addition to our insurance settlement.
We had phone contact with Rich Kiel, a management employee, to set and confirm the installation date. The Bone Dry crew showed up right on schedule and completed the job in one full day. Rich Kiel was here at the start and finish of the job. Another gentleman, from the HQ office in Indianapolis, also was here to get the job started. In addition, another "Rich" (can't remember the last name) was the Job Foreman and was here all day with the crew. All three went over the job with us as the crew got ready to go, just to make sure everyone understood the task. We were pretty impressed. All were professional, friendly, and eager to please.
"Rich", the Job Foreman, answered our questions all day long and consulted with us when needed. He was a terrific guy to work with. As darkness started to fall, the crew wrapped up, cleaned up, and had provided an overall quality job. We were very pleased.
