They performed work fixing some areas on my roof including soil boots.
Response from Absolute Roofing & Construction Inc
"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."

It turned out real nice. There was a slight leak but they came back and fixed it right away. They were very professional and they came when they were supposed to. They did a nice job.

They were out within 24 hours of my phone call for an estimate. After getting it and sending in the approved contract they cam out, took pictures and had the work done within a week!

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.

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.

It went very well. They were good people. They were extremely courteous. They were friendly, but not bothersome. If I had any questions they were very helpful in answering me, even if they were busy with something. I was also pleased that the final bill was less than I expected.

I never had a roof replaced before and after having 4 estimates decided on Absolute due to sales professionalism, sales and office availability and price. Contracted in September and sales was up front about the months lead time for the job because of all the insurance situations this year. I had had a leak and they said that if it leaked before they got to the roof to call and they would come out and patch the leaking area. It leaked and they were out the next day to patch a ~12x18 section. I had another leak a month or so later (around a vent pipe) and they came out a couple days later again.
The employess that did the roof were all willing to talk to you if you asked a question or were just looking at the roof while they were there. Zero complaints.
They 'forgot' about electrically connecting the fan but again, I called and they were out in two days, squeezing through the small closet ceiling opening to do the work and answering ignorant questions from me about the fan controls.

They did a very poor job. They had an inadequate number of crew. They worked at night in the rain which was not under city code. They left my roof open for three days leaving water in attic. The roofers themselves said they were not adequate to do the job. I had given them $1,400 upfront. From the start date it took them three months to even come out. They kept getting delays. What should have taken them a day ended up taking them 5 days. I would complain every day that there was no one at my job site when it was clear and not raining. I requested that they put tarp up and they refused to use it. They did not use a tarp over night which caused damages. The owner of the company would not respond to my complaints. When he finally talked to me he never apologized and said that he wanted his money. In the contract it states that I would have to void my warranty and I would be charged 2% on the amount that was still not paid if I do not pay the remaining balance on my bill. I am waiting to see if my roof is water tight especially since the roofers had used flashlights in the pitch dark and pouring rain. They have been very disrespectful to me.

17,It went well until they found unforeseen costs of $3500 due to our insulation being damaged. They had already removed roof and discover this problem which should have been discovered when they did a core sample. Chris said they don't have to replace the saturated insulation but it would be in my best interest to. I agree to pay the additional amount and they were very diligent about getting all the debris but we currently found a leak at the end of September they came out and patched the leak and within a week they completed the repair but how does the leak affect the $3500 insulation. I was calling them daily to find out how will they were going to fix the interior damage which made our laminate floors buckle and the ceilings' wood planks have water stains they just told me for the first week in October that they would contact the project manager but they didn't get back to me until a week later. Chris Kamis didn't even come and look at the interior damage he just told me I had to go though my home insurance. I contacted Absolute's insurance and they said the owners of Absolute 'feel that i was weather or animal damage it was not shoddy work.' What does that say about the 20 year warranty and the quality of their work. Winter hasn't hit and it has only been 6 months after the job has been completed.

They did come but it took constant calling after that. They had a lot of excuses to as to why they couldn't do the job. They finally sent us an estimate in August. It was like pulling teeth with getting the estimate. They did give us a good price and never followed through with it.

Absolute Roofing gave me an estimate for the work on 6/30/11, I got two more bids and they were the lowest and best bid. We signed the contract on 7/12/11 and they said it would be 4 to 6 weeks based on the weather. On 8/23/11 they called saying they would be coming out the next day. On 8/24/11 they came out to do the work at 8 AM, put the materials in my drive and went to work. They had removed the old roof by 11 AM, by 2 PM the new roof was installed and they spent the next hour cleaning up and reattaching the gutters. We had a heavy rain the night before and that night, but there was no problem. They did a professional job, on budget and it look great. They provided protection for all my plants around the house. I would recommend them and use them again.

The repairs were minor. They did a good job. I have used them before and I would recommend them.
Response from Absolute Roofing & Construction Inc
"We are extremely suprised to earn a "B" for our quality and price, anything less than an "A" is unacceptable to us. We have not heard anything from this client regarding underperfoming on this or any other job we have performed for them, as a matter of fact we thought we were doing a great job responding to their needs, everytime they call we are at one of their sites within 24 hours to assess the situtation and offer repair options. My wish is that our customers would bring to our attention any issues that may arise so that we may resolve them in the proper forum as soon as possible and that if no real issue exists that we receive and "A" for performing up to their expectations. Thank You."

Estimate was done in timely manner after phone call. After deciding to go with the company, it took several phone calls from me to them to determine when the work was to be done. While the work was satisfactory, the communication was not so much. I would have appreciated updated phone calls as to when our work was to be scheduled rather than having to call them myself several times to get the information.
Response from Absolute Roofing & Construction Inc
"While we do understand our customers concerns and appreciate the trust they have put in us in the past and present to perform their repairs, we do ask our customers to understand that this years weather has been extremely uncooperative. This July was the wettest on record and we cannot perform most roofing services while it is raining. As with all good companies, the weather has really hampered our production schedule. We wish this did not happen, but it did and we cannot control the weather. Please, next time you have a concern, bring it to the owners attention and like always it will be resolved. Please remember that we too are human beings, we are fallible and do make mistakes like everybody else. Lately it seems that we are put onto this pedestal and are expected to be perfect, and if one minor issue happens we are crucified for it, which is extremely unfair. We are doing our best and will continue to put our client's needs first. We have been doing this work for over 26 years, we do know what we are doing, we have some of the most high profile clients in northeast Ohio that are extremely satisfied with our work."

It went well. They were supposed to be here a 3-4 PM. They called to say they were running late and came a 4:45 PM. I showed them where it was coming in. They were here about an hour, but did a nice job. They even cleaned my gutters. They cleaned up before they left. When the bill arrived yesterday for the amount I was quoted, I put in in the mail and am very happy with their work.

Crew arrived weeks ahead of the mid-August schedule, but we won't hold that against them. Just forced me to get the items in the attic covered earlier than I expected. The two man crew was very professional and did an outstanding job in the 90+ degree heat. They started around 8:30am and completed all the contracted work by the end of the day. All debris was removed and the roof and ground areas cleaned. When they left, it was like no one was ever there. Excellent job.

Loved it!!!!!!! The work started around June on the repair to my roof .. Another company had done a shoddy job on my roof and Absolute did a wonderful job of repairing. Then near the end of June they completed work on my garage. I have an old wooden garage that had holes in it. So, they replaced wood where the holes were and put siding on it. The guys that worked on it were extremely polite and nice. I was at work all day, but saw them when I got home and then my neighbor also filled me in on how nice they were.
My front window and interior work to fix a damaged wall was completed 2nd week in July. It's just perfect. When they arrived at my house one of the contractors told me that they will do everything in their power to make this as painless as possible for me.. AND THEY DID. I had to work at home when they were here and they were quiet and just such hardworkers.
I would recommend this company to anyone based on the excellent customer service, excellent work and price!

They came out and gave me estimate on what needed to be done and how much it would cost. They came out 5 days later and completed the work. They did a good job.

They were professional, were terrific and were on time. Even on Saturday he even came by to cover it up in case it rained on their day off. They were very meticulous and did an outstanding job. We would highly recommend them as well.

When the workers got there, they did a complete double tear off, replaced rotted plywood and facia board. They installed the new roof with a ridge vent and had to seal around the brick chimney. We have had a very heavy rain since then and no leaks and it looks great. They cleaned up like they had never been there. When the crew found out my wife worked nights and was trying to sleep during the day, they tried to keep the noise down as much as possible. The entire experience was excellent.

Terrible...I was glad to see them leave !
Response from Absolute Roofing & Construction Inc
"This customer was impossible to please, no matter what we did. In my 26+ years in business I have never had to deal with someone more overly demanding. We are all human beings and are NOT perfect, but that was not good enough for this customer. Though the work completed was impeccable and we stand behind it 100% (like all our work) they choose to be-smudge our stellar reputation,even after ALL of the issues were resolved to their satisfaction (their own words to us). There is nothing we can do more for this customer. I say good luck and BEWARE to any other contractor or service provider that hopes to do business with these folks."

After several days of continous rain, water began dripping through the ceiling of one the bedrooms. The sales rep came out the next day and examined the roof while it was still raining. Upon inspection, another second leaking area found, along with weak boards. The following day, tarps were placed over the roof to prevent further damage until the replacement could be done. On the day of the installation, the crew arrived and began to work immediately. The worked the first day until they ran out of natural daylight. The next morning, the crew was back first thing in the morning to complete the job. At the end of both work days, the area around the house was cleaned up of all debris. The crew was courtesy and professional. I would not hesitate to hire them again.
