Work was performed May of 2020. In August experienced dripping of water during rainstorm. Requested visit for evaluation, Brian agreed to come to review on Saturday. No Show. Called again 8/30, left message. No returned call. Called Again 8/31 before 9AM and got Brian. He promised to come next day in early afternoon. No show. Again left message indicating it was no longer early afternoon. Called again 9/1 to leave message - asking him to show that he is a good guy. I am considering legal proceedings. With storm coming, I will be able to record dripping water/leak to document problem.

Wow, what fantastic service. I had a leak in my bathroom ceiling. Brian came, identified the problem and quickly fixed it. It was so nice to meet a professional, understanding and responsible worker. Will definitely hire again when time to replace the roof. And would highly recommend if a repair is needed.

Brian is an absolute professional and working with him was a pleasure. He was on time and willing to patiently answer all my questions and handle a couple special requests. His crew got the job done quickly and competently, and they did a great job cleaning up afterwards. The end result is a perfect-looking new roof, done right and with quality materials. If I had another roof to replace, I wouldn't hire anybody else.

Brian was the first to respond and the ultimate professional and nice guy. Brian of Safeway looked at the room and said it still had life and asked if I had the missing shingles. I did and one was stuck on the skylight. He got his ladder and went up on my very steep roof, retrieved the missing shingle and proceeded to nail them down. No charge! Amazing in today’s world to find someone so honest and kind. I would recommend Safeway and Brian (his company, not a salesman) anytime! Great experience!

After reading reviews here on AL, I decided to give Safe Choice a call and spoke with Brian (owner) and he was great! I explained that it wasn't a particularly big job but was hoping he could help and my he did not disappoint!!! I described my situation as best I could and that I had a few companies come out to give estimates. Most only willing to do completely new roofs and giving ridiculous quotes. Brian showed up on time and went up on the roof to get a better look at my specific situation and assess the problem. He was very knowledgeable and explained everything to me and picked up on what others may have been missing and/or doing wrong. He also explained that I my roof still has a few goods years of life left and thus no need at this time for a complete roof and he'd be glad take the job. We've had a couple heavy rain falls after and no more leak! I can't say enough good things about Safe Choice and Brian! Seems like an all around good guy, great to work with and I will definitely call him when I'm ready for the new roof. Which by the way he also gave me an estimate on in the event I decided to go that route and his quote was far better than most! Now knowing that he's a good guy who does great work, I wouldn't think twice to call him back. Thanks Angie's List & Brian!!! Ian

We looked at three companies, Brian (owner) was the only one of the three to go up on the roof and actually inspect. We had a leak on the front side of the house which was the main reason for getting the service. Brian immediately ascertained that the rear of the house was in tip top condition and didn't need replacing. While he was up on the roof he noticed a missing piece of siding on the garage that I've never gotten around to replacing. He told me he'd take care of it while he was on site, and he did, no charge. After discussing the probable cause of the leak, we were told the price and clearly told it included all necessary replacement wood costs. We also discussed a ridge vent - we have terrible ventilation in a dormered Cape - which he explained clearly and professionally. Throughout the first visit it was a very relaxed sales pitch, and we were left with plenty of material regarding the shingles and possible colours etc. We scheduled for a day roughly one week after, and the crew showed up promptly at 8am. Brian was there to start the work, and was onsite for much if not most of the job. The prep included covering/tarping the entire front of the house and much of the lawn, the crew were all in hard hats and tied off, clearly a safe worksite. I was asked to move my cars, and asked to nudge my neighbour into moving his too, as the crew did not want debris falling onto the vehicles. The job was completed well within the timeframe discussed, and the cleanup was extremely good, a particularly noteworthy point. As noted, my garage received a complimentary replacement siding repair during the day, a very nice extra touch. On the roof itself we received a ridge vent and all new flashing on the chimney. We have two skylights on that side which took no damage. Overall the work appears to be very professional. We did find an additional small hole in the decking once the shingles were removed, which was repaired as well. The price did not change from the original estimate. Overall, a great chap and company to do business with, the roof looks great, I strongly recommend Safe Choice for your roof repairs and replacement.

Safe Choice Roof Systems did an exceptional job on our new roof. Brian (owner) was very knowledgeable and made an impressive sales presentation (he was the only contractor we interviewed to explain why we should have a ridge vent or a thermostatically-controlled attic fan, but not both, and was the only contractor to know from our home's age and location that the original decking was tongue-and-groove, and not plywood). While not the least expensive proposal we received, we chose Safe Choice because we believed that we'd get the best job/result from them, and we believe that we did. Once the job began, the materials, Brian's crew, and the debris container all arrived when we were told to expect them. The crew worked diligently, and were responsive to any questions that we had. Importantly, Brian was very accommodating to several requests I had that enabled me to avoid having to go up on the roof at a later date myself (e.g. fabrication and installation of a custom-sized chimney cap, removal of obsolete satellite dishes, venting of existing bathroom exhaust fans through the roof, etc.). Our roofing job was complicated by six existing skylights, that, while in good condition themselves, posed challenges to past roofers. As a result, Brian had to chip away lots of old roofing cement and deal with nail holes in the flanges. Nonetheless, we are convinced that our new roof has the same (high) integrity where it meets the skylights as it does everywhere else. We were impressed that Brian (among few of his competitors) did not insist on removing and resetting the skylights, or refuse to do the job unless he could also replace the skylights. It was an event-free, stress-free job that gave us exactly what we wanted; i.e. the best possible roof that we won't have to think about for 50 years.
Description of Work: Safe Choice Roof Systems removed the old roof of our home, replaced worn/damaged/weak decking, installed new flashing around chimneys, installed new lifetime/50-year shingles (and a flat roof over our porch), and carted away all debris.

Brian is a very professional business man. Very polite, knowledgeable & precise person. We called for an estimate on our roof in August of 2011. We had 3 companies come for the estimate. We found Brian in the local MINT magazine that comes in the mail. He had 15 years experience in roofing. licensed and insured in Nassau & Suffolk. Safe Choice Roof Systems was the 3rd. WE chose Brian because, He is a family man with his wife Connie at home with the children and taking calls for the business. Always very pleasant and takes details of the calls. He seemed the most sincere of the 3 companies. Explained in details what his company would do and how long it would take. With the pending Storm coming He said "I Want to have this job done for you before the rain so you have no problems. "We agreed. The materials were delivered and the workers began their job on time. The old roof was taken down to the bare wood. 1.They installed 6 inch wide Metal Drip-edge nailed to eaves to seal all roof eaves for leak prevention. 2.Installed GAF Weather Ice and Water Shield adhered to roof deck areas for ice dam prevention. 3. Installed GAF Shingle-Mate Roof Deck Protection to entire roof deck. This was the second layer of defence against wind driven rain. 4. Installed Pro-Starter shingles around entire perimeter. This sealed all edges to insure no wind blow-offs. 5. Intalled Roof Shingles with 6 nails per shingle. WE used Timberline Lifetime. 6. Installed Timbertex Hip & Ridge Cap Shingle. ( This cap has a 130 mph.wind protection. 7. Installed Ventilation System with a GAF Cobra Ridge vent. All flashing around the chimney was replaced with copper *** The complete roof project was registered for a GAF System Plus LTD Warranty for 50 years*** Safe Choice Materials & labor warranty for 15 years. Seamless Gutters and leaders were replace with white aluminum. We also have flat roof that was replaced. Brian prepared & protected my home with tarps attached to the roof edges so all roof debris could slide down the tarps part the shrubs. Removed all layers of flat roofing down to the existing wood deck. all debris was carted away in a dump truck that was on our driveway for both roofs. Rotted roof deck was replaced. They installed with rollers Asphalt Primer to roof deck. 2. Installed Liberty Rubber base sheet membrane to primed wood deck, 3. Installed Metal drip-edge to all roof edges. Replaced the flashing. 4. Installed Liberty granular Rubber rolled roofing over rubber base. Pictures were taken along the way of the job. However I misplaced them. .We would highly recommend SAFE CHOICE ROOFS SYSTEMS INC for anyone. Big jobs or small ones. I called Brian back twice. Once for the flat roof, something that our son noticed needed to be touched up. Then the front gutter was leaking water from behind it. Brian came immediately on both calls. Support this family man with putting on a new roof.

As of 7/30/13, I had not received an estimate. After calling the office that day I was told Brian would be informed and I would receive my estimate right away. As of 8/5/13 I still have not received a quote and no one has contacted me to explain the delay. Since I never received a quote, I can not attest to the company's quality or price. I am disappointed with the lack of professionalism in regards to how the business side operates and I have no reason to use Safe Choice Roof Systems or recommend them to friends or family.
Description of Work: I made an appointment for Brian to inspect a leaking skylight and provide an estimate for repair/replacement. He arrived on time for his scheduled appointment on 7/24/13 and told me he would prepare an estimate and email it to me the following day.

I apologize for not sending a written proposal. However, I was able to give a verbal price on the spot. [member name removed] seemed happy with my ability to give him a price right away on such a small project. [member name removed] does not even live at the address of the skylight repair. He said this was his neighbor. I really expected [member name removed] to pass on the price I gave to the neighbor. I will follow up in the future with written upon request. Than you, Brian Buckhout (owner of Safe Choice Roof Systems)
