Tiller Roofing Inc

Beware, this guy is a crook. Not only did he take us for $325, he faked a death so not to return to fix the leaks. Was told his work was 100% guaranteed, and he was ‘sure’ to identify the root-cause. Gave a quote for $325, and told us the job would take 45 minutes, a little concerned, that $325 for less than a 1 hour worth of work was right, went against my better judgement. The biggest mistake was paying by check, not credit card, thus had no recourse. When he came to the house was on the property for 30 minutes, took him 20 minutes to set-up the ladder, and only spent 10 minutes on the roof… a complete scam-artist. When the leak was never fixed, we called him to return, only for him to start faking crying a family death, which he couldn’t return to the property for another week. Never showed, and ran away with our $325 check. If you’re still dumb enough to use this crook, and he shows-up on the property, run fast. We are filling a lawsuit to gain our refund. True Crook, True Scam Artist, makes me not want to use Angie’s List. Buyer Beware

when they arrived they took the old siding off and took it away. then put the new siding in place, cleaned the area and left

They kept their promises, they showed up at the time they said they would and they didn’t leave a mess. I haven’t had to call to them back or anything, everything was fixed!

This crew did a spectacular job. Arrived at 9:00 A.M. and were applying new underlayment by their noon lunch break. Done by 4.00 and did a very thorough clean-up. Checked around the house 3 times. New gutters and downspout too!

The young man, Ron Rush, that came out worked the whole day all by himself and fixed my roof. He worked very hard and it was on a very hot day. I haven't had any trouble with my roof since then. I would hire them again in an instant.

Tiller was one of three Angie's List roofers from which I received estimates. Tiller's estimate was toward the lower end of the three. James is a friendly, but no-nonsense guy. He doesn't waste your time with fancy sales pitches. He lets you know what your best options are and why and tells you which products he uses and why. He was at my home for about 45 minutes, spending half the time on the roof and half the time showing me his products. He e-mailed me an estimate within 48 hours with several options we had discussed. After we agreed on price and signed the contract, his crew was able to start as soon as the weather looked like it might hold for a couple of days (this was the wettest Spring ever in central Ohio). The crew was hard-working and friendly. The roofing took 3 days only because it rained at least once every day and they spent much of their time putting down & removing protective tarps. They did a good job of this since I had no leakage inside my home. They spent much time with a magnet on wheels picking up nail & metallic debris. This was pretty thorough, but we later found the occasional stray nail. Frankly, with the size of the job, I think this is totally acceptable. James came to the house within days of the job being completed and took me on a full inspection of the roof. He stayed and answered all questions I had and never seemed in a hurry to leave. My roof looks magnificent!

Virgil the owner was out couple times to inspect it. He decided that the chimney cap had a seam that probably needed a cover tape and some caulking. Supposedly his crew came out and did the job. So, needless to say it still leaks when it rains hard. I notify Virgil and it seems that the work was done right, I will probably have to get another company to inspect it.

They came out and confirmed that the problem was not with the roof itself but with the mortar in the chimney needing tuckpointing. Because they don't do this work , I'll have to get another company instead. But even though I wasn't able to use their services, I experienced the representatives from Tiller as exceptionally friendly and professional, and I would not hesitate to turn to them again in the future.

They replaced the entire roof almost 5 years ago and have had several leaks. They have repaired 3 times I think. They use lots of caulking. Repairs will propably last at least until our warranty is over. Update to Tiller response of 03/04/2011 Let me make myself very clear, this is not about the chimneys because you all do not want to hear that the flashing is leaking. Mason came out May of 2007, retuck pointed chimneys and in their professional opinion bricks are ok. Unless he lied. Chimney that is in worst section of roof, believe me we are very aware of that, but for reasons we are not getting into, chimney can't be moved or taken down. You all say bricks are bad, mason says flashing was not done right. Also told James on 02/28/2011 that they could look at the chimneys, if not that was ok, we had decided to hire someone else to make repairs around chimneys. Lets move on to all the other leaks. Called Tiller the morning of 02/28/2011 after awaking at 4:30am to water dripping from the ceiling on to a chair, next to our bed. Told James I was very upset with their co. Upon looking in the attic, it was evident that area had been leaking before and we DID NOT KNOW until water started coming thru the ceiling. We checked the other area above the other bedroom which has same roof line and sure enough that was leaking and had been leaking because of the condition of the insulation. Again, we DID NOT KNOW that had been leaking. The third leak was our bathroom vent which took 4 buckets to catch the drips during the first ice storm, which was the 1st of Feb. Did not call right away to report that leak because damage had already been done, we did not expect anyone to go on the roof with two inches of ice on it and I had to go out of town for several days just after the ice storm to tend to an ill parent. The bathroom leak was the last thing on my mind. Second ice storm it leaked again which we did not know(bucket caught two inches of water). You do not think after every rain and ice storm that one would have to check for leaks, but now we do. After inspecting the whole attic on the morning of 02/28/2011 we realized the bathroom vent had been leaking for awhile and again we DID NOT KNOW until water started coming thru on the first ice storm of this year. We also had a new leak on the front porch that started on 02/28/2011. Virgil came out the afternoon of the 28th to look at our issues which we were very grateful for the quick response. Two days later Virgil came out to fix issues before the next rain. Again, we were very grateful and I thanked him several times for coming out so quickly. Virgil told me the bathroom vent did not have wide enough rubber around it and he redid that. The two areas above our bedrooms he said the caulking had come out/loose. He put more in and said we would have to get on the roof about every 4-5 years to recaulk those areas, because there was nothing else that could be done. Those two areas have nothing to do with the flashing. I pointed out another area in our laundry room to Virgil (peeling paint). Told him my husband and I were going to make an access hole to see if that had been leaking and I would let them know. I am letting you all know now, the water from the bathroom vent leak had been running down to that room. We now have four ceilings in house which have to be repaired and have not had a leak free roof since installation of May 2006. In response to them saying we had never previously contacted them for these other leaks is because as I stated above, we DID NOT KNOW the bathroom vent and both areas above the bedrooms had been leaking until damage was done and water started to come thru the ceiling. The new porch leak was found after inspecting everything on Feb 28th. My husband and I have been, we feel more then patient considering all the extra damage we now have to repair. I do not think anyone would be satisfied if they were in our shoes. We would love to be satisfied customers.

They were very good. The job was excellent. The price was good. The co-owner came and inspected the work after it was done to my satisfaction and he went over the whole thing with me. They used excellent materials. The craftsmanship was excellent and the price was very good. They are very concerned about the quality of work they represent. I've had both owners come out; it is an older gentleman and a younger one. They came out and gave an estimate first. They cleaned up very well. The price was very fair in comparison to the other bids I got. They came out the very first day that I called them. I would absolutely use them again.

They did an outstanding job. They were timely, professional, and gave us a good quote which was competitive. The owner came out afterwards to inspect. He found some additional items and had them corrected.

The process from quote to completion was timely and professional. The work was performed in sub-freezing weather, and the men had to clear the roof of snow and ice. However, they worked over several days until the job was completed. They were diligent in picking up the old shingles and nails, etc., that hit the ground.They fixed small problems we had with leaking gutters, and a small hole in a rubber roof. We are very pleased with the results.

After a recent heavy rainfall, we had a recurrence of a leak experienced 1 1/2 years ago. The call was returned my initial phone call within 24 hours, scheduled an estimate for the following Mionday. Received a call a few hours before the scheduled time to arrice 30 minutes early. Mr. Tiller arrived as coordinated. Mr. Tiller emailed us the estimate on Wednesday. We signed the estimate and returned it to Tiller roofing with a 50%deposit on Friday. Mr. Tiller called the following Wednesday to schedule our repair the following morning. The repairmen showed as scheduled, and completed the repair, a;long with all clean up. The repair consisted of rebuilding a valley in the roof and bringing it to current code. I highlighted the many small steps because Tiller Roofing did everything they said the would on time or early.

They had consistent quality across both jobs. They provide good service. I was satisfied with their work.

Tiller Roofing, Inc replaced our roof about 5 years ago. Recently, we developed a leak due to the angle of the roof line where it meets a lower section of the roof and an upper window. The owner, Jim Tiller came out and inspected the roof. He developed a solution to stop further leaking. Thereafter, company workers came out and fixed the roof as well as replaced and painted fairly large wood trimwork around the upper window area. The workers also repaired an area on the roof around a vent pipe. The workers were polite and left the work area in a clean condition. These repairs and trim replacement were done at no cost to us.

We had severe ice damming two winters in a row. The second winter (2009/2010) was worse and caused water to leak into the house in four different rooms. We had six different roofing estimates. James Tiller was by far the most knowledgeable and professional. He answered our many many questions and always in a way that we completely understood what was to be done. We also wondered what the color of shingle we choose would really look like and James sent us a list of about 10 or so houses with the same roof so we could see what the color looked like. The crew was timely and very accommodating of the shared driveway we have with the neighbors. They cleaned up well and were protective of our new landscaping. He was a little more expensive than some of the other companies, but totally worth it. James came out after the work was completed to do do a followup and made sure everything was perfect. We would recommend and use him for any roofing need in the future!

I heard "drip, drip..." on Sunday morning and found the leak in the attic/knee wall space. On Monday I called Tiller roofing and James Tiller came out the next (very cold) day to make the repair. I was glad to have the roof fixed promptly for a modest amount. He also looked over the rest of the roof to check for problems. fortunately he didn't find any.

I was very impressed with the man that came out.

Included in above remarks. James Tiller is quick to respond to customer contact and follows up with a timely date to begin work. If James Tiller is at another job then Virgil Tiller follows up with the same characteristically good qualities exemplified by this company.I could not be more satisfied for the work performed and the fair price. I have used Tiller Roofing before and they are the first company I call when I need these services.

The crew was very punctual and attentive, they took about two days to do the roof removal and replacement and another two days for a separate crew to do the gutter work. I was extremely satisified with the work performed and the cleanup after the new roof was installed. I had very little trash or nail material left in the landscaping and yard ares. Very satisfied would use them again most definitely.

Everything was wonderful. They were just great at every stage. They moved along very quickly with the work without rushing. Their price was competitive with everyone else we contacted, and the people were just great. They did not leave any mess, and we were very pleased with every aspect of their work. They came recommended by Obetz Hardware, and we really liked what they said. They were very prompt and adhered to their timeline. When they found that there was a bad spot in the sub-roofing plywood, they made that repair at a reasonable price after speaking with us about it. We couldn't be happier with their work, and would not hesitate to use them in the future.

Tiller was great. Mr. Tiller came out and gave a quick estimate of the cost to replace our roof. Their estimate was comparable with the other quotes received, as well as the cost our insurance company was willing to pay. Ultimately we went with another company for two reasons. 1) Tiller required 1/2 down for the down payment. This was more than the initial check we received from our insurance company and would be a little difficult for my husband and I to come up with 2) We were able to upgrade from the 3 tab shingle to the multidimensional shingle for almost the same total price with the other company we went with. Had I not received an estimate from the other roofer, we would have gone with Tiller.

I contacted Tiller Roofing after two other roofing companies had left info on my door that they could see lots of (wind) storm damage to my roof. I trusted Tiller to give me an honest appraisal because I had hired them to do work previously. Virgil Tiller came out in just a couple days, looked the roof over and told me I did have a few small problems, but overall, the roof was in good shape. He sent me an estimate and after I returned it with the deposit, his crew was back in two days to fix the foof. I will be calling Tiller with any future roofing needs.

They came and gave me an estimate. They sent somebody out within 2 days to do the work. They did what they said they would do. They were professional and cleaned up after themselves. The quality of their work was good and I was satisfied with their service.

Virgil came out first, climbed on to my garage roof, then onto the roof of my 2 story house. This was in response to wind damage. He said I definitely needed a new roof, as shingles were missing. He gave me an estimate which included all aspects of roof replacement, flashing, etc. His was not the lowest bid, but well within my insurance company's estimate. I wanted a premier dimensional roof, the best you can buy. I also liked the fact that he uses the same crew all the time, all of whom are family members. After the job was completed, totally cleaned up (no nails or old tar paper or shingles), Virgil came out to inspect the job. He didn't like something they either omitted or errored on, so he called them out to fix whatever it was. I would not have known about it, because I don't go up on the 2nd story roof. Neighbors all commented on the beauty and quality of their work, and it looks outstanding. I would recommend Tiller to anyone. My daughter and son-in-law are about to have Tiller replace their very large home's roof.
