I was very pleased with the quality of the work, and the speed with which it was done. Eric, the crew leader, was very knowledgeable and managed the crew very well. Everyone was courteous and professional. They paid a lot of attention to clean-up, including going over the area extensively with a magnet to remove nails. I highly recommend this company.

I had to have a large house roof and garage done. Not only was S. Bradley competent, but also polite and very informative. They made recommendations as to changes to roof structure that would improve the life of the roof and also make the appearance much cleaner and appealing. I would hire them again with no second thoughts. They are not the least expensive, but given previous experiences with roofers, the difference in cost is well worth having the peace of mind that the roof is done correctly.

All the work was done in my absence with a followup phone call to inform me of the work that was performed.
Description of Work: Several yrs ago, S. Bradley did a complete tearoff and installed a new roof for me. I was very pleased with their work. Scott and Jeff have regularly helped me with small repair issues and installed a leaf guard system on my gutters. They have been consistently responsive to my calls each and every time. Recently, I discovered that the roof had sustained some damage. I called to ask for help. Scott immediately responded and came out to evaluate the problem. He promply reported the problems to me and said that there would be no charge to repair the roof. He personally came out to to do the repair work in a week and made several maintenance repairs in preparation for the winter.

Prior to contacting anyone, I prepared a checklist of important items and issues that needed specific answers and a budget. Then I contacted four roofing contractors (3 on Angies and 1 other) for estimates. The three from Angies all came out and provided estimates, the fourth set a date but never showed or called. Two of the contractors made my final cut because of more complete itemized quotes. The third place contractor did a very quick inspection and gave me a verbal, very low, quote I felt was not credible. My checklist made the final decision easier. Both had very good Angie ratings, good listening skills, proper insurance, understanding of local building codes and both were within 9% of each other and within 4% of my estimated budget. It came down to using a local (in the same county) contractor and use of employees not sub-contractors. I was home the whole time periodically walking around just looking but not interfering, letting them know I was available for any questions that my arise. As my home already had video surveilence I could peek in on them but nothing questionable ever occured but I did save all the video for any future reference. Took some pre and post installation photos also. Great service, on budget and ahead of schedule. I'm happy.
Description of Work: Complete tear off of a 24 year old roof on a one story ranch style house and attached garage. Install new ridge vents (never had them), ice guard membrane, flashing, edge trim, and sewer stack gasket. They actually moved the up date sooner than expected but was delayed slightly due to the threat of rain. The 3-4 person crew was curtious and clean. All materials were throughly removed and the area around the house left neater than when they arrived. New materials arrived on time and was complete, no delay for an overlooked component. Roof looks great and I expect it to perform well for many years though it hasn't rained since the installation.

Jeff, the manager was very polite and informative, but I was not happy with the shoddy, incomplete work. I had them out several times. They did some of the work, such as replacing a gutter guard and arranging the heating coil on the garage roof. However, I had to keep on them to give me presentable squared-off slates, not terrible "eaten away" ones with chipped corners. They said that holes in the roof were OK, even though I was urging them to cover them.
Description of Work: Several jobs had to be done: Rubberize roof because of leakage due to winter ice back-up. Gutters to be cleaned and repaired. Roof to be inspected and repaired (maintenance).

Response from S Bradley Co Ltd
There were a couple of issues with the scope of the original work that were not completed to both S.Bradley and the members satisfaction. We returned on different occasions to address the issues. The members claim that we used eaten away slates for the repairs is untrue. Some slates on the members roof had corners missing, which in our opinion is a natural characteristic of slate and does not require replacement, unless the nails are exposed. If we were to replace all the slates on the clients roof that had corners missing, there could have have been alot more. Also, the member had a supply of his own slate which we tried to use when possible. Some were not the correct size to be used. We feel that the member seemed to not fully understand the information we presented to him regarding his roof and the repair process.

They had positive ratings on Angie's List but they were not very responsive. I was going to go with them but I changed my mind because they took too long to respond. Also, I mentioned Angie's List, and it seemed like the owner kept raising the price after he learned that. The weather was bad and I had to delay the project a few times, and every couple months when I spoke with them the price increased.

Response from S Bradley Co Ltd
Unfortunately, this member had a bad impression of us. However, we have a slightly different version of the story. First, everyone needs to realize that 2008-09 was the most volatile year I have ever seen in the price of asphalt roofing materials. This member was told from the initial estimate that we could not guarantee any pricing because we were working on very narrow profit margins and material prices may increase within days of the estimate. Angie's List had absolutely nothing to do with price changes! Secondly, the claim of not being responsive is less than fair. We have logged 10 separate proposals, over 4 hours of return phone calls, and 4 trips to estimate, re-estimate (which we thought was sign a contract), and drop off sample boards. He wanted financing which we do not do. We decided that we did not want to continue a relationship with him and let him know we did not want the job. We are very patient in dealing with all our customers; we understand that any home improvement is big decision. But, we choose our customers as carefully as our customer choose us. We felt that this relationship was not a good fit.

Great experience! Scott Walinus met me at my house promptly on a Saturday for the estimate. We talked about how I wanted the estimate done so I could compare "apples to apples". After that, he took some time to examine the roof. We talked about options and Scott gave me so great information. He is very informative and does not give any "sales pitch". Just a good guy. Within just a day, he delivered a detailed set of estimates that met exactly what I was looking for. Concerning price, they were the lowest of the three estimates I had completed, and not by a small amount. Since I selected only the best contractors from Angie's List to complete a bid, I knew going with the cheapest was safe. Plus, I was miticulous about how I wanted the work done. Dan, the project manager, followed up within a day or two. We scheduled the appointed to complete the work within the next week. I talked with Dan on a few occassions and he was always great to work with. They estimated two days to complete the work. It ended up requiring three days, but not because of laziness. The crew was ontime each morning and worked hard through the day. They usually would work from 7:00 in the morning until 7:00 or 8:00 at night. Throughout the work, they kept the property clean and were very helpful with questions. The quality of the work is superb. I examined the entire install. I looked for the flashing, chalk work, and shingles and underlayment. Everything is perfect. After the job was done, Scott came back to examine the work. He noticed some things that could have been better and summoned the crew to come back and fix it. I didn't even need to say a work. In the end, I could not have been happier. I would not only use them again, I would highly recommend their work.
Description of Work: Complete roof tear off and replacement. The existing roof was two layers on the main house and three on the garage. All the flashing was replaced. Also, had a double row of winter guard add to the roof to help prevent damage from ice dams. Also replaced roofing on two small overhangs above the front doors.

They were professional and I was very pleased with their work. I was called when they found the 1/4 plywood and the sales person came from the Westside to meet me and show me what they found. The workers were friendly. I would recommend them.
Description of Work: Received a very detailed quote and verbal description of their service. Took old roof off including plywood. They found the original plywood was only 1/4 inch once they started so I was happy they took off the old roof. The job took 1 1/2 days. They did a great job on the cleanup. The cost was more than expected but this was due to replacing the plywood, which they would not have known when they did the quote. It did state in the quote it would cost more if extra work was needed.

I called Bradley and they were out the next day to fix the loose shingle. This company is a true example of what we Angie's list members want in our companies. The staff is professional, knowledgeable, honest and polite. They arrive on time. They leave the work area clean. Again, if I think this is the only company to call for roofing services.
Description of Work: We have used Bradley roofing for many years. They put a new roof on our house 2 yrs. ago. A couple weeks ago, we noticed a shingle looked like it was loose.

Several years back I had a leaf guard gutter system put in. There is a difficult reverse pitch that never was finished properly by Leaf Guard. As a consequence, water ran down the brick front of my house, causing the brick to discolor and moss to grow. The S. Bradley Co. was hired to fix the problem. They told me they would have two options, and sent a man to do option 1, which was the cheapest. After spending all day, he was unable to really fix the problem, we we went to option two, which was an extensive repair, involving new flashing, new downspout pieces and some new shingles. As of this writing, the job done seems to have stopped the water problem. I was charged $250 for option one, and $800 for option 2, or $1000.00. The roofer did explain that I would have to pay for each option attempted, and the cost seemed high; however he had one guy here all day on option one and two guys here all day on option two, plus materials, so it probably was a fair price; high, but fair.

I called Bradley to come out and give me an estimate and the very next day the owner was right out. I had a contract set up with S Bradley in late fall, however they could not come out to do the work because of how quickly the weather turned bad. When I began having issues with some water damage, I called them to ask when they could come out and redo my roof. They came out the very week that I called them. I was very impressed because they were very willing to come out in February to do the work despite the snow. The week that they scheduled the work for was the week that we had a major snowstorm, but they were willing to work around that and come out to do the job. The whole project took about two days. They were very nice and professional to work with. They were good about cleaning up everything and not leaving me with a mess. I feel that they did a good job.
Description of Work: I used S Bradley Company to come out and remove and replace my old roof as well as put up new gutters and down spouts.

They stated they could handle slate roofs and that they could fix the garage roof that was leaking. The roof continued to leak into a pantry area. Another roofer discovered that it was not done properly. They overlapped the slate shingles and some were damaged. The leaked continued in fact it was worse. They should have said that they could not do slate repairs and replaced it with asphalt shingles. The other contractor had to replace the slate roofing with asphalt shingles at an additional cost to me. I was satisfied with the asphalt roofing and the gutter work that was completed.

THE MEMBER DID INFORM US THAT THE ROOF WAS LEAKING INTO THE PANTRY, BUT WOULD NOT ALLOW US TO COME BACK TO INSPECT THE WORK TO DISCOVER THE PROBLEM. WE ARE VERY EXPERIENCED IN SLATE REPAIRS AND DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE OTHER ROOFER REPLACED THE SLATE WITH ASPHALT. IF HE WAS PROFESSIONAL ENOUGH TO DETERMINE THAT OUR WORK WAS WRONG, WHY WAS THE SLATE NOT REPAIRED. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE OTHER ROOFER TOOK MORE PRIDE IN AN ATTEMPT TO DISCREDIT S. BRADLEY COMPANY IN ORDER TO SELL A NEW ROOF TO THE MEMBER. WE WILL ALWAYS SERVICE OUR WORK AND PROBLEMS ARE FEW, BUT DO HAPPEN. HOWEVER, WE NEED TO BE AFFORDED THE OPPORTUNITY TO FURTHER EXPLORE THE PROBLEM AND PROCEED WITH A SOLUTION. HE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN CHARGED A FEE FOR THIS AND THE WORK WAS UNDER WARRANTY.

There was a case where part of the job didn't come out quite right. He sent out a man who spent the next day working on it, and it turned out well. His response was excellent. It was an honest mistake, but he didn't fool around. He made sure it was taken care of in a timely manner.
Description of Work: They put a new roof on my house about six or seven years ago. It included a tear-off, as well as replacing some decking. All new shingles were also put on the whole house.
