Description of Work: Roof repair. Other roofers suggested a new roof and gave us quotes of about $1500 to re-roof our back porch. One vendor said he would send a workman to examine and analyze the roof problem at a cost of $150 (for the examination). None of these roofers attempted a "fix" other than a new roof. We were skeptical since the roof was only a few years old. Fred arrived, climbed on the roof, placed some roof tar in some key spots and as two years later, there have been no further leaks. We just recommended Fred to our son.

He's an independent roofer, I like him - he's great. He's put a new roof on my friends house. He doesn't use staples and all that crap, he does it the old fashioned way. He's very good and reasonable. He was here for over a week. In our town you have to take the old roof off. He got the permits, the dumpster and removed the roof then put a new one on. He's excellent, he's always excellent. Anytime you have any issues with the gutters, you just call and he shows up. He's very, very good. With the roof he was here everyday. He did it with his brother-in-law and they were very professional, always show up and they are very good. My neighbor used him and my friends used him and loved him. I've been in this house for 20 years and he has done work for me for 20 years before we needed to replace it. He told me I had a year or two and then when it really needed to be done we did it because it's expensive to do.
Description of Work: Fred Kauffman put a new roof on my house. He always checks my roof and he cleans the gutters. I have a big house.

They have done our roofs and visit twice a year to remove leaves and seeds from the gutters. They did a great job. The roof they put in for us is still good. They are fairly priced and recommend some good people, when required. I highly recommend their services and will use the same in future.
Description of Work: I used the services of Fred Kaufmann to remove the leaves and seeds from our gutters, during the spring last year.

Mr. Kaufmann himself showed up to provide an estimate to replace my roof. He climbed up on the roof and took a look at an area I suspected was leaking, then informed me that the problem was with my chimney, not my roof. He said the roof would be good for a few more years and suggested I call a mason to get the chimney repointed and flashed. His honesty was refreshing to my world-worn cynicism. I will certainly call his company when I eventually get the roof redone. PS, I called him based on my next door neighbor's recommendation. He did their roof and they were very happy with his work.
Description of Work: I requested an estimate for a roof replacement, but instead I got some good advice.
