A L Corman Roofing Inc

Every step in the process went well. Al responded to my initial call promptly and got me an estimate. After I decided to work with him, he brought shingle samples so I could choose a color. When I couldn't decide from the small samples on the sample board, he brought a handful of each of the colors I was considering and nailed them to the roof so I could better see how each color would look in place and at different times of day. After I picked a color, he worked with me to accommodate my schedule as I was out of town for a few days and wanted to be home when the job was being done. We also had to work around some rain, but he always kept me updated on the schedule and plans. The job took two days. The crew arrived exactly when I was promised and was completely professional during the job. They cleaned up the debris thoroughly so that the yard and area around the house looks like it did before they came. I am very pleased with the result and highly recommend Corman Roofing.

After looking at the various roofers in Greensboro and their websites and their BBB rating, I decided on this one. The website is professionally done, unlike many roofers' sites. The length of time in business was another factor in my decision to recommend this roofer to my GC. Two weeks ago, my GC contacted this roofer's answering service (note, it's an answering service not an employee as I believe they don't have any employees other than the "owner"). After waiting 1 week for a callback, the GC contacted me and said he, Mr. A.L. Corman, didn't return their call. This was an excellent time for Mr. Corman to establish a relationship with a General Contractor which could lead to more business for him. He's been in the business long enough to know that GC's can be the lifeblood of a sub-contractor such as himself. I asked the GC to try once more. After another week of no call back, I told the GC I would call him. I called him 2 days ago and left a message with the answering service person that I wanted a quote on a new roof. I told them that my GC tried to contact him and they received no response. I thought surely, that would make him call me as he has now received 3 calls for a quote. I've received no response from him. I read the Angie's List reviews AFTER my recommendation to the GC. I should have read them before I recommended him as there are a number of reviews from others that said he was unresponsive to calls. He's blamed "health" for not returning calls and so forth. If one is sick, he should instruct his answering service to let the caller know that he isn't available for jobs. I left a message saying the following "If you are unable to give me a quote or do a job because of sickness or your backlog of jobs is too high at the moment, please let me know and I'll find another contractor, no problem". Still no response. I would not recommend this "contractor". If he won't respond to a General Contractor, whom called twice, or the actual homeowner after a 3rd call, he's unreliable in my opinion. Mr. Forman states he did call the contractor and didn't want to get involved in a dispute? There was no dispute. The roof just needed to be repaired from an improper flashing around an exhaust vent. Everyone agreed it wasn't done properly. That is still no reason not to return a call after I recommended you. Honesty is always the best policy. If you don't want to do a job just tell them, don't leave them hanging waiting on you to return a call. Update: 4/35/2015 The company that was the General Contractor whom Mr. Corman took their word against mine, is now being sued by the Attorney General of North Carolina. If you Google "American Kitchen Corporation, North Carolina" you'll find that dozens of homeowners were taken for thousands of dollars. Mr. Corman shouldn't be so quick to dismiss potential customers because of the words of a faulty GC now under prosecution.

Initially had trouble getting a quote. However, work started exactly as scheduled and was completed in less than a week. Mr. Corman kept us well informed during the project, and they cleaned up thoroughly when done. The price wasn't the lowest, but Mr. Corman seemed to be the most knowledgeable of the three roofers we spoke with.

The crew arrived promptly and completed roofing in one day despite sporadic rain. He was flexible and understanding when health issues became an issue. Highly recommend this company.

I called and left information with the answering service and Al returned my call that evening. Al made time to get over to the house the next morning to survey the damages and provided a verbal estimate to make repairs . His price turned out to be higher than one of his competitors who I also felt good about dealing with so I did not give A.L.Corman the work.

Mr. Corman was recommended to us by a friend who had contracted with them for a technically difficult roofing job on a remodeling job. We called for an estimate on our Summerfield, NC house where the 20-year-old roof was beginning to leak. Mr. Corman provided a very competitive bid, was really helpful in helping us choose the roofing material, and he replaced sheeting where needed. This job was done promptly in early 2012. Following that positive experience with Mr. Corman, we contracted with him to replace a former shake shingle roof on our mountain house in Caldwell County. Again, the work was competitively priced, promptly completed and of excellent quality.

I called twice and left a message with a receptionist who informed me that the owner would have to return my call about getting an estimate. Nobody ever returned my call....I have decided to use another contractor. Probably for the best.

More than a year ago, I called them for a re-roofing estimate. They did not return my call. Then I put off the roofing job for some time. This year (May 2012) when I was ready to hire someone, I saw Corman on Angie's List. I forgot that I had called them last time. I called them for an estimate and was told by a woman that someone would call me back to set up an appointment. No one ever called me back this time either. I ended up using another company on Angie's List to do my roof. Would not recommend the customer service of Corman.

When I called back the next day, the answering service said he was on medical leave. I told her that she should have told me that on my original call. However, later that day Mr. Corman did call me, but I told him I had made other arrangements. He was very apologetic and told he was on medical leave, recovering from surgery. He said his answering service should have told me that from the start. He was very professional and offered to come inspect the repair to be sure it was done correctly. I told him I appreciated his offer, but that it wouldn't be necessary. I felt that he was very professional - and an honest man that I would not hesitate to use in the future.

Very pleased with the whole process, Mr Corman was easy to work with and kept me updated via phone and emailed photos when requested.

Mr. Corman responded quickly to my request for a roofer. I was afraid of a leak in the attic. We agreed on a reasonable price and since he determined that there was not an immediate problem and that he would schedule a time. He fit the job in within two days and repaired the problem. He was fast, courteous, and very professional. I sincerely recommend this company and glad he was listed on Angie's List.

Never provided an estimate on roof repair.

We have not yet had a heavy rain that will provide a good test of the work, but I feel sure that Mr. Corman will promptly fix any problems that should arise.

Mr. Corman is one of the most honest businessmen I have ever had the pleasure to meet. While replacing the roof he and his crew were professional, neat and efficient. They came on the appointed day and completed the job in two days. The roof was done right and looks great. I haven't had one problem with the roof or the skylight. Unfortunately a part of the custom gutter covers were not put back correctly. I didn't discover this until well over a year later. Mr. Corman came out to my home and talked with me and the gutter company's technician and said he would pay for all replacement parts and labor even though the roofing was completed over a year ago. He handled the situation with complete professionalism. You just don't find this kind of honest, respectable and respectful businessmen in this day and age. I would recommend him and his company with NO reservations.

No problems to report

Of the several requests for bids I made, this was the only contractor to do a thorough onsite inspection of the work needing to be done prior to his proposal---so there were no surprises. A major part of the roofing work involved coordinating with another contractor doing repair and replacement of siding @ dormers. Corman was the only bidder able/willing to do this. As a result the work started on schedule, proceeded smoothly and completed on time. The roofing crew was professional, experienced and courteous. Cleanup was thorough.

They were excellent. They were on time or early, Al was there most of the time, and they did a really good job. It has not leaked at all. Once he was on the job he was very responsive because he was here.
