Home Evolution Roofing LLC

) Alex was punctual for the appointment and very professional. Unlike other contractors, he got up on the roof for a first-hand look at the damaged hip shingles. The estimate he gave was higher than others, but he offered a discount if I agreed on the spot to give him the job. Alex also had a very nice picture book of his previous roofing jobs. While I didn't like the inflated price/discount ploy, the picture book was a big plus and I wanted to get the work done soon, so I accepted his offer. I paid 50% on the spot, the other 50% to be paid after the job. The work was performed within a few days, as promised, and took less than a full day to accomplish. However, there were some quality issues upon my inspection, as follows: - A few exposed nail heads were not coated with sealant. - One location had several exposed, uncovered nail holes from the old shingles that were removed. These holes could have become a real problem if unnoticed. - Minor debris (cut shingles, roofing nails) in the gutters. While not a big deal, this was sloppy work in my opinion. I notified Alex of these issues and they were promptly addressed (within a day or two), and I paid the remaining 50%, However, a few months later (shortly before this review was written), when cleaning the gutters, I found several more roofing nails. Not a big deal, but annoying. More important, an end cap shingle from a ridge vent had come loose and was in the gutter. I called Alex about this. He returned my call promptly and promised to replace the lose shingle, but snow and rain delayed the replacement. Overall, I think the end result was good, the work was done when promised, and the noted problems were resolved promptly. However, for the fairly premium cost, the quality issues (which I had to find and point out) were disappointing and indicated a rushed job without adequate attention to detail.

I cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you again!

Alex came out to provide an estimate on repairs needed for my roof. He was very professional and punctual. Although at this time I am not making repairs I would contact him again in the future for any work I need to have done.

Alex, the owner came and inspected the roof taking photos to show me what was really up there!--He reviewed roofing options and cost and timing estimate, -agreement reached , gave down payment. Alex called to say exactly which day the roofers were to be here, the shingles were delivered a few days prior. A very competent team arrived at 8AM and were done by 5 PM, roofing both a small ranch and a two stall garage. The clean-up was done well,also.

We had wind damage to our roof and called three different contractors for estimates for repair. Since our roof was greater than10 years old we heard from all three companies it would not be possible to match the roof shingles we had, parts of the roof, though not wind damaged, showed wear. Alex from Home Evolutions, using modern technology, was able to use an IPAD and show us actual photos of our roof and the reasons it was best to replace the entire roof.We felt better seeing for ourselves that it actually did need replacing.The cost was consistent with the other estimates received and we had read positive reviews about this company on Angie's list. We felt comfortable choosing Home Evolutions. They showed up at the stated time scheduled for the estimate, for the roofing appointment and again for the gutter installation. The roofing work was all completed in one day. The workers were considerate of the plantings and shrubs, they cleaned up when finished, I was told when to expect the gutter installation, and those workers showed up as scheduled. Alex returned and checked the work, again showed us photos of the completed work which is quite difficult to see unless you are a roofer. Although our roof was just completed, we are pleased with the work and the stated 7 year guarantee. With the storm warnings from Hurricane Sandy a few days away we are happy this work was completed in such a timely manner.

These guys were really good. I have had quite a few experiences with roofers, and up until meeting these guy I honestly thought to be a roofer you had to be a drunk or crazy person to have to work on a roof. Finally these guys have shown me that there are real professionals that will come and take care of a job the right way even if it is a roofing job. They came and did the estimate and told me the work would happen in about 4 - 6 weeks. I was worried that the roof was leaking and told them I would go with them if they put a tarp on the roof in the mean time. At 7 am the next morning I had a guy there that tarped the roof for me. About 4 weeks later I see a load of shingles get dropped off, and the next day they were there to do the roof. These guys told me that they were going to do the work in a day, I was skeptical, but they were true to their word. They showed up with a crew of six guys, and even after I bought them lunch, and they had to stop because it rained for an hour and they still got it done by the end of the day. This was tearing off 14 square of old asbestos tile, redecking the entire roof, all shingles, all flashing, and spot less clean up, in one day flat. I actually had to leave a bit ealier, and my friend stopped by when it was pitch dark outside, and he told me they were still there cleaning up... hours after I had left, and more importantly paid. So they stayed and cleaned up when they really could have easily left. I definitely plan on using these guys again.

The workers arrived early in the morning following a freak October snow storm. They cleared all the snow off the roof first and then began work. The workers covered all of our landscaping with tarps and picked up all the shingles, nails and debris as soon as it fell. They kept the work site clean and tidy the entire time they worked. All the workers were friendly and worked hard. The roof looks fantastic and we have had no problems with it at all. Unfortunately, because the ground was damp following the snow, the wheel barrow they used left a deep rut in our yard. We called Alex about it the next day, but it took months for him to respond. His initial response was that it would fill on its own. The rut was deep enough that we could see where it was, even when it was covered with snow! We had to complain several times over the course of several months before Alex sent someone with dirt and grass seed to fill the rut. In the end, our yard is fine, but it was pretty frustrating how long we had to wait and how many times we had to complain in order to have the rut fixed.

They had a few delays ( a week - 10 days) starting the job due to rainy weather but kept us informed. We got nervous as Sandy was supposed to bring a lot of rain and I called Alex with my concerns (our roof had begun leaking by now - our fault for putting it off for so long!) and Alex offered to send someone over to put tarp on roof. Just one of the little extras steps they will take! They showed up on time on the scheduled day - Alex had said one day for the roof and they did it!!! It was dark by the time they left, but they got it done. They repaired our chimney which was in very poor condition and probably one of our main leakage problems! The roofers were very polite and were picking up all day as they worked. Leo and Sergio supervised and did the specialized work that needed to be done - very professional and did a great job on everything. The siders - Scott and Mike - showed up the next day and began on the siding - removed all the old and then started installing the new siding - Leo was also there wrapping windows and trim. They said it would take 4-5 days and it took 5 days - actually 6 as Leo came back on Saturday to finish up a few things we thought needed attention and the final clean up. They were all very friendly, courteous and professional. Alex showed up every day to check on progress of both the roof and siding and had the workers change or replace some things that he thought could have been done differently or that did not meet his or our expectations. I am just waiting for the outside light we have ordered to be installed and I will post photos - if I can figure it out - soon. I asked Alex to give my Dad an estimate for windows and he got that job also - after my Dad turned down several other contractors in the past few years - YEAH! He also was impressed with his thorough presentation and knowledge of what needed to be done. I know this review is long, but I was really impressed with their work and am sure if any problems were to arise in the future, they would take care of them promptly. Alex and Leo - who we dealt with the most - were great to talk with - as were Scott and Mike. I would be happy to answer any questions anyone might have. We did have a few nails left around after they were gone but that would not keep me from hiring or recommending them in the future. We were very happy with our choice and would highly recommend Home Evolution!!!

The company was extremely professional. For the estimate they took photos that day while I was home, so I knew the pictures I was look at were actually my roof and not doctored. Everything was explained to me, and all my questions were answered. Once I decided to go with this company to replace my roof, they were able to start work within 2 weeks. Again, they did a fantastic job, and were very helpful whenever I had questions. My new roof looks great, and I have no doubt that it will last a long time.

I contacted 4 of the best-reviewed roofers on Angie's List for estimates. Three responded quickly and set up appointments with me. A fourth called me over a week later, after we had already gotten other estimates and made our choice. I got 3 estimates, all within a couple hundred dollars of each other. Alex represents this family-owned business as the front man and sales rep. As at least one other reviewer wrote, he comes with a clear agenda: to get you to sign up with him on his first visit. He has a full presentation set up on his iPad, and he goes through it with you quickly but thoroughly. We had a lot of questions, and he answered them all to our satisfaction. We had done a home inspection in preparation for possibly putting our house on the market, and the inspector failed the roof. We went over the entire roof inspection report with Alex, and he seemed knowledgeable about all the issues raised and told us how he'd address them. He had a sample book of the IKO shingles (Cambridge style) he likes to use (though he was willing to do other mfr shingles if we wanted). He sells IKO shingles based on the assertion that they are thicker and heavier than others, which, among other things, helps the installers lay down the shingles more easily and with better coverage than when they use lighter shingles. I had never heard of IKO shingles, so I did some web research and found a lot of negative comments about them--mostly from older postings, rating styles other than Cambridge, and also mostly from warm-weather climates. I've done a fair amount of web marketing and web research and know that if you Google a product, often you find the negative comments at the top of the Google results, and often these results come from situations not like yours. If you drill down the results list a bit, you start to see other viewpoints. People in cold states like Minnesota, Michigan, the Plains states, and up in Canada really seemed to like the IKO shingles, especially the Cambridge shingles. Alex pushed hard for the sale, but in a pleasant way. We discussed price and he reduced his original quote a couple of times. When he got to a point where he pretty much matched the 2 other quotes we had, we decided to go with him. He said we could pay by check or credit card and asked for only a small deposit up front. The rest would be payable upon completion of the job. He said he could schedule the job to occur in a little less than 2 weeks. He said we'd know the exact date because the shingles would be delivered to our house the day before the installation. He told us that his friend, Sergey, would be the foreman on the project. The shingles arrived in a pre-marked spot on our lawn only about a week later. We were surprised at how fast they scheduled the job. In fact, we had to postpone our driveway sealing, which had been set for the next day. Also, we hadn't had time to move cash into our checking account because they were coming sooner than we thought, but we knew that we could put it on our credit card (and get points for that, too, as Alex was quick to suggest at the sale). Sure enough, Sergey was at our door at 8 the following morning, along with a crew of maybe 6 workers. He went over the job with me, reviewing the contract and the couple of additions Alex said he would take care of, and then they got to work. Sergey himself came in and did the attic work while the others started removing the shingles--which gave him some light and air up in that space. Good planning. I was working in the house all day (yes, it got pretty noisy at times), so I couldn't really see what was going on outside. A neighbor told me later he was standing outside watching them work and he couldn't believe their speed and efficiency. He had just had his roof done by someone else a couple of years ago--exact same house model, size, shape, etc. He was very impressed with the way they worked and with the results, and also how they had 1 or 2 people cleaning up around the house almost throughout the job. The guy who mows my lawn knew we had done the roof done, and he was careful the following week, looking for nails that might ruin his mower. He found only one little thing in the flower bed near our house--otherwise the cleanup was immaculate. Sergey watched over the workers' progress. Later in the afternoon, during the very last stages of the work, about 3:30, if I remember correctly, Alex's brother (I think his name was Boris) came by to go over everything with me. He, too, went over the contract and made sure they had done everything promised. They had. He checked the cleanup. It looked great. We looked at the roof lines and vents and edges all the way around the house, and all looked good. I gave him my credit card, apologizing that we couldn't give him a check because they got to the job before we could get the money into the bank, and he accepted it, had me fill out the charge paperwork, and the credit card charge was applied accurately within a couple of days. The job was started at 8 and everything was done per contract for the entire roof replacement and everyone was gone by 4pm. They did a great job. I waited a few weeks before posting this review to make sure the roof didn't cave in or show signs of leaking. So far so good! Highly recommended.

We found Alex very knowledgable about his trade. He was thorough with his estimate and initial examination of our roof and skylights. He performed the services much sooner than his initial time estimate and even did so without us being home. The workers (from what we could assess after the fact) did the job in one day and cleaned up the debris nicely. When we returned home, we couldn't tell anyone had worked in the yard. The follow-up visit to finish the inside moulding around the skylights was prompt and we were very pleased with the workmanship. Our overall experience with Alex &co. was very good and we are recommending him to a good friend of ours who needs a new roof.

Alex sent the best for my job and I really appreciated it. I would hire them again.

Price was very competitive and professionalism was exceptional. Would definitely recommend to others an use in the future for other home projects.

Alex was quick to respond to an estimate request. The original shingles quoted were a brand I had never heard of (IKO) but Alex allowed me change the order to Owens Corning without hesitation. Company gave adequate notice as to when they were to perform the work. When the work was completed (in one day) the roof looked good, all lines nice and straight. The crew took great care protecting our landscaping and property from damage. They did an excellent job cleaning up after the work. We had a couple of problems that I reported to Alex and he responded the same day promising to fix whatever needed to be within a couple of days. Upon arrival and without hesitation or questions the corrective work was performed by their most skilled employee at no additional cost. I was completely satisfied with the overall job and feel that we got good service for the price. I also feel confident that Home Evolution will stand by their workmanship for years, just as their contract states. May 2013: I wanted to provide an update on some additional service Home Evolution provided. After our roof was done several leaks appeared in our mudroom where the room butts against the house. The little room was re-shingled with the rest of the house and I thought perhaps the flashing needed to be re-done. I called Alex in Sept and he had one of his workers come over and put new flashing and some additional seal under the vinyl siding above the roof but the leak persisted. I called again in January to report that the leak was worse. Alex was quick to respond and get us on the schedule for early spring once the weather improved. It appeared unlikely that the new roof was the cause of the problem so Alex's workman checked the siding and trim around a window above the mudroom. He discovered the cause of the leak above the window, removed the siding up to above the problem and resealed around the window. This work had nothing to do with the roofing job and was above and beyond the work Home Evolution was hired to do. Despite that Alex was more concerned that we would be happy with the service and quality his company provides and would not charge us for the visit, materials or work even though it had nothing to do with the roofing job they did. After all the rain we've been having I was very pleased to find we no longer have a leak in the mudroom thanks to the excellent work and service Home Evolution provided. Once we can save some money to have the house's siding done I'll be calling Alex.

Remove all old siding, replaced with new. Removed and replaced two doors. Showed up on agreed date. Worked steadily until the job was done. Cleaned up the area when done. House looks very good. Neighbors have made several very positive comments on the appearance of the house.

Removed all the old shingles. Replaced with new. They showed up when they said they would, did the work, cleaned up the area. Though the work was done relatively recently and it may be too soon to reach a judgement, we have had no problems with the new roof. Big improvement since the old roof leaked badly.

Alex arrived on time for the estimate, inspected the roof, took photos of damaged shingles, and then sat down to discuss his proposal. It was clear that we needed a new roof and based on his high rating on Angie's List, detailed proposal, and price we decided to have Home Evolution do the work. We agreed on the date, the crew came as scheduled, removed old roof, replaced flashing, and installed the new roof. As promised, the whole job, including removal of all debris, was completed in one day.

I am STILL amazed at the speed the work was completed. The quality and honest workmanship is beyond what I expected. I will be using Home Evolutions again. You can read what happened start to finish where I described the work. All materials and mess was cleaned up the same day. Both old roofs disposed of. My yard looks fine, no damage. All the the workers were polite and respectful.

After the first call, they called back promptly, and arrived for the estimate on time and prepared. The estimate was done carefully, and included photographs of the problem areas (cracking of shingles and exposure of the underlayment.) Their price was neither the cheapest or nor the most expensive out of the four estimates, and, as with some other bidders, Alex offered discounts for Angies List - which we received, and for signing immediately - which we did not take. The roofing shingles were delivered a few days beforehand, and despite two weeks of poor weather, they started/completed work in 2-3 weeks. A large crew completed the entire project in one day, which was remarkable to see. It also rained near the end of the day, but the crew had the remaining roof covered with a tarp in time. None of the plants near the house were damaged, as they protected them with tarps as promised. The site was cleaned and the dumpster trailer removed that evening, also remarkable to see people work that long and that hard! A month has gone by with several heavy thunderstorms, and no problems or leaks have appeared, so the initial quality is fine.

I joined Angie's List specifically to find a roof contractor, as I have had several estimates in the last few years, but simply could not afford to do the work until now. Alex gave a very professional presentation, as well as pictures of my 'before' roof. The pricing was a little less than prices I had gotten before, and he gave me a price incentive of $1500 to sign on immediately, so that made it an easy decision since I was ready to go. The work was delayed by rain for a couple days, but when they came with a full crew, the work progressed quickly as promised, and cleanup was well done. What a treat to go to work in the a.m. and come home to a new roof and a clean yard! My only concern is that I did not see 'after' pictures as requested. With a roof job, I really wanted to see pictures (and have them for my records when it's time to sell) since I can't climb up on my own roof. Will happily update my review when Alex provides pictures.

The dumpster was delivered a day before the job began.The crew arrived at 7:30 AM. They checked in with me and started the work. Tarps were placed around the barn and the old shingles and tar paper were removed. They next started putting the underlayment, water barrier and drip edge on. Next a couple of guys were picking up and the others were bringing the bundles of shingles up on the roof.The guys next started shingling the roof. A little touchup was done, all the scrap was picked-up, the tarps were removed, and the barn floor and driveway was blown clean.They did all this in less than 8 hours.I was very impressed.The flashing and chimney work took a little longer. There was drying time involved.

Everything went very smoothly. It took about 2 weeks from when I signed the contract to when they showed up to do the roof. So far the roof looks great and they did an amazing job cleaning everything up.

In one day they completely replace the roof with high quality materials. Clean up was spotless.

We had Home Evolution replace our siding and windows this year and we love the new look of our home. Alex was very knowledgeable and answered all questions. He helped us pick a nice color for the siding. We were also impressed with the amount of care they took in preserving the plants around the house, and not damage any of the flower beds, something my wife was very thankful for. The price was very fair and the job went smoothly. We already recommended them to a friend, and will recommend to anyone else.

Alex was very professional from the time he first came to give an estimate to the final walkthrough. First we had our roof replaced, which was done in one day! Than we had to replace our windows and siding. We always like to stick to the service providers that we like and Home Evolution was definitely a contractor that we felt comfortable with, so we hire them again to change our windows and siding. His crew was very neat and friendly. They would always take their shoes off when coming in to the house, which I and especially my wife really appreciated it. The job was done very quick and it was literally spotless when they left. I already have recommended Alex with Home Evolution to some of my friends and will do so in the future.
