The overall experience working with Tom was a pleasant one. His proposal for roofing replacement was very thorough and provided me all pricing for the various product levels available. The quote he provided for an as is replacement, i.e. using the same level of materials I had was bang on for the quote that the insurance company gave me (3$ difference). His quote was very comprehensive and broke down all of the costs that would be incurred. He also had a list of references in my neighborhood for me to reach out to if I needed to. After selecting Tom for the job and we selected a couple of color choices that we were interested in, he conveniently provided a few houses in our area which used the same materials so that we could drive by and see first hand which one we liked the best. We asked for additional work to be done, replacement off missing soffet vent caps, chimney siding replacement and replacing the chimney cap. He quickly added the work to the invoice. He was very responsive in setting up the job and the job took the amount of time that he estimated. There were two hiccups during the process: - After receiving the quote for the chimney cap replacement Iasked for a further breakdown of the costs because I was surprised by the cost. Tom indicated that the cost was not broken out for that particular item. As a business person I understand fixed cost contracts but I wanted to understand the work effort. After a quick call with Tom he gave me additional details about the work effort involved which satisfied my concerns about the cost. - The final invoice contained a charge that we had spoken about on more than one occasion of not needing. This was quickly remedied with a new invoice. One other item that differentiated Tom from other vendors was his no hard sell approach on which material choices that we should go with. All of the details were laid out for us during his quotation presentation and he simply left it up to us to decide. Overall, Tom's respectful, courteous and professional manner won him the job. His 'old school' approach of service, sending a follow up thank you card after our initial meeting, meeting with us at a convenient time of 7pm and on Saturdays, all helped to cement him as the choice of vendor. Thank you Tom for a job well done.

Tom Buzzard Co and his crew were E xcellent. They were prompt, courteous and never needed any time from. The roof looks absolutely great and I couldn't be more pleased with my selection of Tom as the Roofing Contractor. Not much more to say. Everyone should get a proposal from him if they need a new roof.
Description of Work: I had 20 year old shingles (3-tab) removed and replaced with: 1) fiberglass/asphalt underlayment 2) Certainteed Landmark Shingles 3) Flashing, Vent Covers, Edge Flashing (Custom Made) 4) Ridge Vents 5) An upgraded Warranty on the Shingles They covered every bush, railing, porch etc. After the job, they removed all stray nails. They use no electric nail guns, but instead hand hammered every shingle so as to not void the warranty. They cleaned any tar or asphalt stain that lightly marked the siding, which wasn't much. They came on a Monday Morning, and by Wednesday afternoon they had finished, cleaned up and left. Just as they projected!

Tom's initial presentation, consultation, and estimate process was well organized and much more detailed and professional than other prospective contractors we interviewed. For this reason and the great reviews on Angie's list we decided to go with Tom even though we likely could have gotten the job done at lower cost. (We have given up on trying to save money by hiring "low-bid" contractors because in almost every case we have regretted it). Tom Buzzard's great crew was thorough, efficient, and courteous. Tom and his foreman, Pablo, were conscientious about consulting/communicating with us before, and during the process as well as following up to inspect their work after it was completed. The crew was meticulous about cleaning up during and after the job. We would not hesitate to hire Tom Buzzard again and we highly recommend him. PS: It is wise to follow the recommendation to cover things in your attic or other accessible spaces directly under the roof work - especially if decking is being replaced!
Description of Work: While not unanticipated, our new rood required a bit more work and expense, in large part, because 90% of the roof decking on our circa 1965 home needed to be replaced as well. While the house is an 1800 sq.ft. split-level the total roof area includes a large two car carport, a covered back patio, and storage spaces connected to the back of the house. Also,Tom installed two new skylights, replaced the ceiling on our covered back patio, and built a needed "cricket" on the roof.

I did not find them through Angie's List. I found them through a friend referral. They were great. The workmanship was great. The quality and the attention to detail were great. Everything was absolutely perfect. The workmanship and the service and support were high quality. They were an excellent roofing company to go with. They were probably slightly more expensive than other roofers in the area, but they are well worth the price. You get what you pay for. I would definitely recommend them to others. I thought what we paid for was worth it.

Tom and his team did an excellent job replacing our roof. We were very impressed with Tom’s focus on craftsmanship and integrity. He was a pleasure to do business with. Tom also was very helpful in educating us for our decision on shingle style and color. We are very happy with the appearance of our roof as a result. During the installation, his team worked very hard in extreme heat. They were very conscientious, using tarps to protect our landscaping and cleaning up thoroughly after the job was completed. Their carpentry work was also very meticulous. It was a great experience having Tom Buzzard and his team replace our roof.

As previous reviewers have stated, Tom provided a very professional and informative brochure with the estimate. We decided on Tom Buzzard without getting additional estimates given Tom's professionalism and have not been disappointed. Tom's crew is all business and the results look great. The yard has well cleaned upon job completion. I'll add more information after we have more experience with the roof. Update: 3/3/2012: The roof looks terrific and really dresses up the house. The roof has been absolutely perfect. We had a leak before. No leak now. I've had other contractors come by for other work around the house and they consistently ask who did our roof. I ask "why?" and they say because they would give the roof job a peer review of "excellent." After our roof was completed, our neighbor as well as a co-worker used Tom Buzzard and everyone has been happy.

Thanks to the member for this report and the kind sentiments. He was waiting for more experience with the roof.

Do hire a contractor who is certified by the shingle makers...you will have a longer warranty this way. This provides confidence that the crews have been trained to do proper installations, which is needed to ensure the shingles stay put as long as possible. Do hire a contractor who has worker's comp insurance, and ask for proof. Do read the fine print on proposals. As I said, one of the contractors I called had said they would work with no downpayment, only requesting payment at the end, but the actual quote page had fine print requiring a large downpayment... Not a huge deal with the balance being paid only after the work is complete, but this indicates a lack of attention to detail, an inconsistency. You do not want to hire a contractor who does not pay attention to detail or who is inconsistent. Do visit reference houses and call references to talk about the work done by the contractor. Look for more than one reference. As I said, one of the contractors I called, who was in fact certified by the shingle maker, provided only one reference, which he had scribbled illegibly at the top of the quote sheet. How unprofessional. I attempted to read the scribble. The only street name I could decipher from the scribble does not in fact exist Raleigh. I looked, for that name and a couple of variations. Basically, there were no references. Everyone else provided a nice computer printout with addresses and phone numbers. That's what you want. At least a handful of references that actually exist. Do check the better business bureau to see if there is a record for the contractor, and check out any reports that exist.
Description of Work: I asked Tom to stop by the house and provide a quotation to install a new roof. Old roof had numerous shingles fly off over the past few years, and some of the flashing had started to fail....water coming into the house around a couple of windows. I had called *5* separate contractors and received quotes from all of them. All of them were certified with the various shingle makers and most provided what I consider to be high quality proposals. (One contractor, though a certified installer, provided a weak proposal and only one, completely illegible, hand-scrawled reference address. Another verbally stated certain payment terms but the written quote had fine print with different terms.) Tom presented his proposal in a nice booklet that included the cost estimate, as well as a lot of information about the shingle warranties, the various detail work involved in doing a proper installation, etc. His proposal package was a bit more complete than the other contractors. His presentation was not as flashy/fancy as some others (one other had shown many photos on an iPad for example), but Tom impressed me. He made a point to talk about detail work, about the importance of training the crew and keeping them refreshed on training. He also made a point to talk about things that might require that I call a separate contractor for work his crew is not licensed to perform. I like this. For example, nobody else talked about the possibility of issues related to natural gas vent pipes (e.g., for hot water heater and gas furnace) that could, *potentially*, become damaged by the vibrations while they were working on the roof...which would require someone licensed to work on gas systems do extra repair work. I appreciate that Tom pointed this out to me before hand. In fact, nothing happened and there was no need for a separate contractor...probably this is rare. But I appreciate having that discussion before starting the work, just in case. I'd rather have the information just in case, and avoid a surprise later on. I found Tom to be direct/straightforward, but polite and patient. One other thing set Tom apart: his company's workmanship warranty, which stands at ten years in addition to the shingle maker's warranty. I selected Tom's crew (Pablo et al.) to install a new roof on my house. Certainteed Landmark architectural shingles. The crew removed the old shingles, the old underlayment paper, replaced 3 sheets of failing sheathing plywood, installed new underlayment, including a special waterproofing underlayment in valleys, then shingles. In addition, they installed a new skylight, drip edges, new flashing, lead (not rubber) vent stack boots, etc. The final product looks FANTASTIC. I would also like to point out that the crew took great care to clean the yard, during and after the work was done. I came home on the 2nd day, as they were finishing, to find the entire crew walking slowly around the backyard with tools, looking for scraps to pick up. They did a very fine job at the cleanup. I found one small piece of shingle, just one. I found one nail sitting on the top of my rain barrel. I found a couple of small strips of plastic that had been pulled off the back of the new shingles. But really, that is next to nothing. I've had a bunch of trash in the yard from a prior roofing contractor doing just minor repair work (replace a couple of strips of shingles and a vent stack boot) on the old roof...on this job was nothing of note. They did what was promised and kept the yard CLEAN. I would also like to point out that the crew was quite focused on the job. I didn't speak to most of them. I did speak with Pablo, briefly, on the first day. Nice guy. Friendly, courteous. They obviously care about what they do. This is clear. It's a hard job. I am extremely pleased with the outcome.

Description of Work: Our roof was damaged from the tornado. I interviewed about 5 roofing companies and Tom Buzzard was the only one who was the owner of the company to come see us. Not only that, he had a full folder of info and measurements. My wife and I was very impressed. throughout the whole process, he was always available for questions and he explained to us how to deal with the insurance company. The whole roof was done in about 3 days with a large professional team. My roof looks great. I highly recommend him.. i just wish he did electric and plumbing also.

He did a high quality work. He was very professional about trying to understand what exactly I needed done. We had a misunderstanding at first, but he was real good about clearing everything and making sure that I was satisfied. I was satisfied with him and I had a good experience. The workers cleaned everything after the work and they were quick. They were a little expensive, but they did good work. I would recommend them to other members also. I would use their service in the future too.

Perfectly!!! I had the unfortunate experiece of having a new roof installed three months prior. I had to hire a consultant and an engineer to inspect the roof and they both recomended that I have my new roof torn off and re-installed! One of their suggestions was to have Buzzard Roofing quote the removal of a brand new three month old roof and then reinstall another new roof properly. Job extremely well done...
Description of Work: Compete removal of existing roof and install new Certainteed 5 start rated roof system. Finished the entire job in three days and cleaned up thoroughly. The quality and workmanship is outstanding.. Very responsive and concientious to all of my requests .. I am very impressed with how well the entire job was handled.

Everything went very well. I was very happy with the service. Tom handled the sale process (which went well). I was very happy the end product. At the end of the job, I did have some flashing that was wrong (which wasn't Tom's fault) and a new kit had to be ordered. That night, there was some rain and it leaked in and Tom took care of that issue and went above and beyond my expectations to fix the damage including managing all dry wall and painting issues. I would use him again.

Tad and his team are experts in their field, The quality of the workmanship is excellent, they are highly professional, and personable. I received a number of quotes for work, and whilst Tom Buzzards were not the cheapest, their proposal was the most comprehensive and clearly set out how they would perform the job which was not just a simple roof repair. I felt confident that his team had the expertise and skills to complete a quality job. The team arrived on site under the leadership of Tad, and completed an excellent refurbishment of our third floor Sun deck. They kept us fully informed of the progress, and as they uncovered rotten wood and structural problems associated with the existing roof/sun deck they provided reasonably prices change orders to repair the wood and make good the problems. The refurbished sun deck looks great, and the quality of workmanship is excellent. I Highly Recommend Tom Buzzard Co.
Description of Work: Tad from Tom Buzzard Co and his team replaced the membrane walk on roof/ sun deck that had started to leak. In addition to replacing the roof the membrane with a more suitable material for a walk on roof they; removed and replaced the rotten wood beneath the old membrane, removed refurbished and reinstalled the railings that surround the sun deck, replaced damaged shingles, replaced damaged siding, and replaced the door to the sun deck..

Quick response and initial estimate. Very professional. Tom did the estimate himself, but was not at the worksite during the job. Crew was courteous and cleaned up well. Tom and I had a misunderstanding about what was included in the estimate, but he was committed to ensuring that I was satisfied, and I am very satisfied with the resolution. I had cheaper estimates, but the quality of Tom's work was worth it. And, he managed to fit us in so we could qualify for a tax break on our energy-efficient roof.

The member will quickly agree that he called late in 2010 wnating his work completed by the end of 2010 so the he could take advantage of tax credits. We did the work in the CHristmas week break. Mr. Buzzard had already made plans for that week. But we are very grateful we have Pablo as our job supervisor. You can read what people say about him at our web site, www.tombuzzard.com.

Tom's team was very efficient, literally swarming over the roof to remove the old materials, replace wood that needed it and putting on a new roof. When he realized he had left something out of his estimate, he asked that we pay only for the materials and he covered the additional labor himself. We would highly recommend this company.

Mr. Buzzard was professional from the very first meeting. His knowledge of roofing was immediately evident. He presented his estimate explaining every detail. After we accepted and scheduled the work, his crew arrived an hour before the start time. They began work immediately and took no breaks except precisely one hour for lunch, which they prepared without leaving the yard. They worked continuously until the end of the workday and then cleaned up meticulously before leaving. The same the second day. They were friendly and courteous in every respect. Watching them work was a display of teamwork. I cannot find a single fault in the work done. The bottom line is that I would recommend Mr.Tom Buzzard. Buzzard to anyone wanting quality roofing work done.
Description of Work: Provided a detailed estimate with examples of past work. Removed the entire barn-shaped roof on the house and roof of the garage. Removed the existing turbines. Repaired all underlayment and flashing and sealed the previous louver vents. Replaced the shingles on the entire roof and installed new under-eave vents and ridge vents on the entire roof.

With Tom, the estimation process was smooth, and he treated us with respect. Tom himself -- not some salesman -- provided the estimates and worked with us on our shingle options. Tom's price was on par with some other companies (i.e. expensive, with an A-Frame), but his professionalism and track record were obvious, and far exceeded those of the other estimators. The crew came out early on the day they were scheduled to come, and went right to work. It took them a half-day longer than they had estimated, but they worked hard and with total quality. The crew leader even showed me some of the work they were doing, and explained everything every step of the way. They cleaned up very well. Overall as pleasant an experience as one can have when spending this kind of cash.

It went very well and was done on time and within budget.
Description of Work: We had a the old shingles removed and a new roof put on. Some of the plywood had to be replaced. We also had the same thing done on our outdoor shed. We also had three skylights replaced(two were on our screen porch and one was in the master bath. Tom's crew did an excellent job. They were always on time and very professional. The always cleaned up after themselves. The work was done on time and on budget. There was one little paint scrape on the screen porch from shingles falling and they came back and fixed it immediately with no questions asked. I would use them again and have told anyone who has asked to use them. They were very competitive in their bid. I liked the way Tom explained everything in detail as to what he was going to do and the products he was going to use. Great company to work with!!

I began my research with Consumers Reports. They recommended CertainTeed Landmark shingles as their "Best Buy". I then went to www.CertainTeed.com, to locate roofers with Certainteed's highest certification. I also checked them out on Angie's List. I got estimates from three. The first had a 10% off coupon on his website. He then told us the shingles were going up 5% in 2 days. His starting price was over $14,000. With the 2 discounts, he was still over $12,000. Second roofer's bid was around $9,000. We chose Tom Buzzard because he gave the best presentation, answered to our questions, and included a several page packet of information. This included references, and detailed description of project. My biggest decision was now color. Tom gave us the address of a home with the color (Moire Black) of shingle we were considering. After driving by the house, we decided the color was too gray, and selected Charcoal Black. When the project was completed, we were very pleased with our choice. The roof took 2 days, 8 men. It was noisy, so we took 2 day trips. Tom told us to check out the roof over the weekend, then he'd take payment. There several rotten areas that needed to be replaced, 11 sheets of plywood for additional $484, over $9,125 estimate. This was a very pleasant experience, and we had confidence that the work would be well done. Lessons learned: "Always, Always get at least 3 bids! Research, Research, it's work but worth it. Coupons are not always a bargain!
Description of Work: Removed and replaced shingle roof. Included ridge vent over peak of roof and soffit (under eaves). CertainTeed Landmark shingles. 12 year Warranty on workmanship by Tom Buzzard Co., plus 30 year warranty on shingles by Certainteed, and upgraded CertainTeed warranty.

They came out and looked at my roof and they told me that I did not need a new roof. They came out very promptly. They were great. The worker called and said he could be there in 45 minutes. He found a hole on my roof and he patched it. He said my roof was in good condition. He only charged me $75 dollars. I had no problems.

Tom is incredibly thorough and detail oriented. We obtained quotes from 4 companies and his bid was the 2nd to lowest (not far from the lowest bidder), yet he was also the most thorough. We were very pleased with the quality and speed of the job. It was completed in a day and a half. We have referred 3 other neighbors to him (who had their jobs completed spring 09) & all have been pleased. We were referred to him by 2 separate friends who were both very pleased with his work. I wish all contractors were this consistently great to work with!
Description of Work: Replaced roof on house & shed; installed soffit vents & replaced skylight.
