Job went well. They started on 1/13/14 by tearing off all the wood in the garage including 9 rotted support beams. All the debris was placed on tarps for later removal. They installed 9 new support beams and topped it with 1/2"plywood. They installed new flashing on 3 sides and covered it with shingles that match the roof on my house that they did 1 1/2 years ago. When they finished the job the loaded all the debris in a trailer they bought the second day and cleaned up the site. You would never believe they were there. On noon the second day they were gone and I have my garage back whole again. With the warranty on the work the roof will outlast me. I would recommend this contractor in a heart beat.
Description of Work: Repaired and fixed my garage roof.

Showed up on time - began work completing tear off and ice-guard install prior to snow storm. Completed shingles the day after the snow storm. Gutter work completed the following week - fast work, work is weather tight! Only one issue - roofers did leave debris mixed in with the snow - found a dozen roof nails in the driveway along with cut asphalt shingles. Snow did blanket the site making visual inspection difficult. I discovered the nails after shoveling the drive and broom sweeping the asphalt prior to driving my vehicle over the area. Very pleased with service - excellent professionalism and aid from the first step with the estimator to discussions with the receptionist followed by the crews on site. Gutter crew went above and beyond my expectations! Excellent service. Recommend the company - would use in the future without hesitation.
Description of Work: Tear off of existing shingles and underlayment - removal of storm damaged gutter. Provided new ice-guard and shingles to match the existing for a dormer and side of a steep pitched roof. Provided flashing for a chimney at a flat rubber roof and sloped shingle roof. New gutter and downspouts provided at new roof areas, plus reworked and replaced leaf gutter system.

The installers were young but not inexperienced. Got the feeling they were most interested in getting the job done and moving on. Some installers will try to replace everything. These were just the opposite. Think they should have looked at replacing more of the plywood roofing but they didn't bring it up. They did the basics in terms of installation and cleanup. So that was fine. I wasn't looking for something that would last 20 years. And by comparison the price was right. The lay of the roofing was not smooth when they were finished (ripples where roofing bulged out). I am not a roofer so this may be normal for rolled roofing. There was no follow up call that I remember to see how I liked the job and no inspection by anyone but me. The sealant on the rubber boot they put around the stack failed by the summer of 2013 (6 mos) and I resealed it with stronger sealant. So overall decent relatively inexpensive job. Not high quality but I got what I paid for.
Description of Work: Replaced rolled roofing on low pitch roof on back of house. Replaced one bad plywood sheet.

I called for an estimate on replacing my roof. No one called me back. Never heard from them UPDATE: This is my second review for Absolute Roofing. I called for an estimate for my roof, they did not call me back. Choose another company. However Absolute did call me after my first report to apologize for the oversight. The lady I spoke with was very nice and sorry for the mix up. We are all human and things slip through the cracks. I appreciated the call, it was nice of them to take time to call and apologize, it meant a lot to me. If you are looking for a roofer, give Absolute a chance.

Response from Absolute Roofing & Construction Inc
[member name removed]: You are making a very powerful accusation and you should be prepared to back it up. All of our employees are very thorough and honest with their assessment of the roofing. We have been in business for over 27 years and you just don't stay in any business that long by "ripping off" people. We see this happen all of the time, a customer gets 2 or 3 estimates, goes with the lowest guy, then gets ripped off or poor work, then calls us and tells us that they wish they would have gone with us, even though our price was higher. I assure you that the estimate that you received was fair and accurate. Your accusation is without merit and borders on slander. May we suggest that perhaps next time you call and work out any possible issues you may have before writing a comment like this that attempts to degrade us, as well as accuse us of a crime. We our appalled by your accusation.

I think the quality of the work that Absolute Roofing did is top-knotch. The salesman, Bill, who did the estimate, is experienced, informative and a complete professional. The mason who repaired the chimneys (Reggie) was great - very professional, and also took care to explain to me exactly what he did, and what my chimneys were like, after he was finished. The crew who did the roofing portion were organized, responsive to my requests, and cleaned up after themselves very well, except for a handful of cigarette butts and roofing nails sprinkled around my property (they should know that gardeners notice and don't like that!) The roofing crew overlooked a couple items on the work order, and had to come back and put in the soffit vents and a flashing strip around the dormer. They accidentally punctured my bedroom ceiling, which is an understandable accident, and the company sent an excellent plaster & paint crew (Terri and Chris) to fix it. Between starting just before the 4th of July holiday weekend, the ceiling puncture and repair, overlooked items on the work order, and Mike, the owner's vacation, it did take more than a month from start to finish. But, I understand nothing ever goes perfectly according to schedule. I feel confident that I have a terrific roof for the money.
Description of Work: Complete roof tear-off and re-shingling on a 1925 bingalow style home. Add soffit vents and a ridge vent, new flashing to 2 chimneys and dormer. Repair and tuck-point 2 chimneys.
Roofing was done first and completed in two days. All work was completed on a timely basis and was of high quality. We are very happy with the redone bathroom closet; it holds more and we can actually find what we need! We are happy with all the work but the closet has the most impact on a daily basis!
Description of Work: Reroofed our house, replaced gutters and repaired chimneys, replaced several windows, put a closet in the bathroom and replaced a kitchen sink.

I had an ice d*** from the day we bought the house. My neighbor told me that it was a problem from the day the house was built. I called a couple of places each had a ?cheap? fix, none were comprehensive. Chris from Absolute came out and said thee was a number of issues contributing to the problem, no ridge vents, improper bathroom fan venting, too small of gutter and so on. I said fine give be a proposal, he did. The repair team came out on time; they were polite, they worked outside and the attic. They cleaned up after the work was done. I have now used them on repairs to my Mom?s house and have referred others.

Absolute roofing did a great job for me from start to finish. The staff was always available to answer my questions. This was a big job in the middle of winter when we had a few warmer days. The roofers cleaned up each day and worked diligently to get the job done. The supervisor was responsive and accomodating to my request to have extra work done and Absolute roofing gave me a fair price. I am happy that I chose this company.
Description of Work: Absolute Roofing performed a complete Tear-off of the old roofing layers (there were four) on the house and front & rear porches. Absolute Roofing installed new wood underlayment over all the roofs. They next applied the new roofing including the roofing underlayment, the ice shield, and the new roofing shingles in the color I selected. Absolute Roofing, at my request, installed NEW gutters and downspouts for the main roof and the front & rear porch roofs. Absolute roofing, at my request, installed white aluminum covering on the ceilings and support framing of the front and rear porches rendering these areas maintenance free (I won't have to paint these areas anymore.)

The job was scheduled and the workers arrived on time. They worked efficiently, were polite when I had questions, and cleaned up after themselves. The end result was perfect. A pleasure to deal with from start to finish. I'll continue to rely on Absolute Roofing whenever I have home construction needs.
Description of Work: My city had their annual rental property inspections and it was suggested that I replace the hand railings due to their condition. Since I knew that Absolute Roofing did more than just roof installation and repair, I decided to give them a call and have them come out to quote me a price to replace the railings. The owner returned my call, set up a time, and stopped at my home. He provided me with an estimate that I liked and I had them do the job for me.

The person who came to our home to give the estimate was nice at the time. I had informed him that I was going to be out of town the following week for a family commitment and I emailed a decline in using their services due to the high price the night before I left, I offered to pay for the eagleview which they obtained to get us a quote and asked for the correct amount. I did not have access to my email while away and then received a rude voicemail from the person who had visited out home saying he thought we were people of integrity and he really wanted to know why we were following through with using them and also paying for the eagleview which we had previously said we would. I contacted their office and informed the secretary to please have their employee stop calling my phone and leaving messages, that I was out of town and I would send the money order to them when I returned this week. The payment was mailed on Feb 4th, 2013. When I returned home there was two emails from the employee, the first one saying "I am alright with your decision", the second email stated "Please advise if you received my email in which I received your decision and my answer to the cost of the eagleview" This employee made us very uncomfortable and we expected to be dealing directly with the owner Chris per our referral to this company was from a mutual friend of ours and the owner. When dealing with this company, ask to speak and get your quote directly from the owner.
Description of Work: asked for a quote for a complete tear off, new roof, gutters and downspouts, removal of two chimneys and building a pitch on an existing flat roof.

Every time they came to do the work it was a different crew of workers. They pulled the spikes and straps to re-pitch the gutters and downspout. They didn't finish the work on the gutters and didn't re-strap the downspout either. I have contacted them multiple times to have them come and finish up the work they tell me that they will be sending someone. I have not seen the people that they keep saying that they will send.

Everything about the project was completed on-time and with exceptional quality.
Description of Work: Complete tear-off and replacement of cedar shake roof, flat rubber roof, all gutters and downspouts.Chris Kamis of Absolute Roofing went above and beyond in getting my hail-damaged roof replaced. After wading through all the storm chasers after the hail storm of May, 2010, I contacted him. He was extremely helpful in getting a reasonable settlement from my insurance company -( NOTE - I had the world's WORST insurance company-OHIO CASUALTY). In fact, I couldn't have dealt with the insurance adjusters without him. He is experienced in dealing with insurance adjusters who try to minimize the damages and low-ball all the costs.Replacing my roof was a difficult task that Absolute handled without a glitch. Absolute Roofing's workers were prompt, respectful, hard-working and neat. They had to work from aerial lifts and barges in order to reach my roof, but these added difficulties did not bother them. The work was completed on-schedule and the quality of the work is exceptional. I would use Absolute Roofing again and I recommend them to anyone that asks. Chris Kamis responded to all my questions immediately - each and every time. Chris is a gentleman and a man of his word. If you have any roof problem, contact Absolute Roofing - ABSOLUTELY !

We thank you for your review and rating. We do not strive to be lowest cost, we strive to be the best, quality minded contractor in the area. After over 27 years in this industry , We tend to see the low cost guys go in and out of business all of the time, leaving a path of poor work and no recousre for the homeowner. Thanks again, Member.

The representative from the company was very respectful and courteous. As a matter of fact the representative was more prepared, and provided examples of colors and styles of shinlges which no other company did. He even met my insurance agent at my home to explain why the estimate was as stated. While based on other estimates, the company was a bit expensive, I However I believe he truly went above and beyond what most companies would have done to ensure that I knew and understood the process of dealing with insurance claims. I take issue with the companies response about reporting negatively after 2 years; When I called in, on a non related question, the angies's list representative asked me about my contact with the company. I explained that the company was very well represented and that the owner even came out when I had additional questions and was just as courteous. While there were estimates a bit less thus was in no way a slight to the company.
Description of Work: The company provided an estimate for the replacement of my roof. They did not perform any service. The estimate was approximately $12,000.

Called 5 or 6 roofing contractors during heavy rains of April 2011. They were one of two companies decent enough to even send someone to give an estimate (everyone else was "too busy"). Sent a two man crew to complete repair first chance they had which was in less than a week. Price seemed a little high but was worth it considering the circumstances.

The young man who was in charge of the job was a very courteous, knowledgable, and took every effort to make sure the job was completed in a way I would not have any more problems with water damage. He also made suggestions on how to avoid the same kind of damage on the other side of the patio roof. He was great to work with. I would definatly use this company again.
Description of Work: Absolute Roofing came to my rescue in the middle of a winter storm, because water was pouring into my kitchen walls and windows from an improperly installed roof from another roofing contractor. They came within one day which was greatly appreciated. They had to replace part of the roofing on my house and an attached patio roof, along with the valley material and gutters on two sides of the house and patio, They also had to remove a large ammount of snow and ice from the roof before they could proceed with the repairs.

They did a geat job. Straightened my gutter where previous ice dams had bent it. I am very happy with their work and wouldn't use any other roofer.
Description of Work: Absolute Roofing installed heat cables on my roof to prevent ice dams. I already had one on the fronto fo the house and it has made a huge difference in the past two years. Now I ordered one for the back of the house because the icicles were a huge problem last year. They gave me an estimate in Spring and after I approved it, they put me on their list. (This has been a difficult year for roofers because of all the rain. I was happy waiting as long as it was done before the snow came.) They did a great job. They put the roof on two years ago and I wouldn't use any other roofer. They are professional and they really know about roofs. I trust them.
