Bone Dry Roofing & Masonry - Cincinnati

A house I inherited didn't appear to have any active leaks, but there was an area that leaked during heavy, blowing rain, and there were areas that showed evidence of past leaks. I had used this company in the past (another house) and was impressed by their service, so I brought them out to investigate this problem. They discovered that 3 of the roof power fans were ancient, and found one spot that definitely needed to be re-shingled (the one that leaked during heavy rain), but suggested they do a water test to see if any of the other spots were actually still leaking. This had to be postponed a couple times due to cold, snowy weather, but that was certainly not their fault. When they were finally able to do the water test, it was discovered that the other spots were leaking, but there were receptacles in the attic that had been placed there to catch the water, which was why I wasn't seeing any leaks. Obviously, it was a disaster waiting to happen, so I had them replace all the fans and re-shingle around them. As before, everyone I worked with was extremely courteous and kept me informed during the process.

The week before Thanksgiving, our roof began leaking. I called Bone Dry to come out and give us an assessment and an estimate, and they came the next business day. The person who came out seemed very knowledgeable, spent a lot of time assessing the situation, and gave us different options of things we could do to fix the problem. Knowing that the roof was old and would need replacing in the next few years anyway, we opted to have the roof replaced. The foreman who came out when the work was being done was extremely courteous and made sure I was aware of everything that was going on. The work was to take one day, but they encountered an issue that made them slightly behind schedule. Because of this, the work continued into the next day by a few hours, which wasn't an issue for us. As they were finishing, we got the first snowfall of the season, making it hard for them to clean up the yard, as they promised to do. Even so, they stayed in contact with me while we were waiting for the snow to melt, assuring me that they would be back out as soon as they could to clean up the mess. As promised, when it warmed up, they brought a crew back out and did a wonderful job with the cleanup. Time will tell if the roof holds up, but based on their professionalism and reputation, I would highly recommend.

Everything went great I will call BDR for future work..

Bone Dry was really responisve. Since they could not do any repairs in the rain they were able to come out right away to look at the spot. Really, right away, they came in 30 minutes. They looked at where the water stain was (it was not dripping but you could see a wet stain). The determined it was coming from where the garage roof met the house. They told me the house was probably did not have house wrap on it and in order to fix it they would have to remove the siding and trim, install house wrap, tape the window, install flashing and then reput on the trim and siding. They quoted me $475. I always get a second opinion and I'm glad I did. Well, I especially wanted a second opion because we had this house built and we visited it often and it definatley had house wrap on it. So, the second roofer we called was Advantage Roofing. He was not able to come out until January because of snow being on the roof. But even with all the snow, the roof never leaked again between Nov-Jan. You can read my review of Advantage too. But, in the end we didn't have to do anything and I'm glad I got another opinion or I would have spend $475 needlessly.

They were very responsive, as far as scheduling an appointment. They were very speedy. They got the job done very quickly. They cleaned up the mess and left. We didn't have any problems with them or the work at all. The price seemed reasonable.

They were VERY helpful and clear and a fair price.

I spent about $9000. They did a good job. They did the work within the estimate. They did a good quality work in a timely fashion. They were clean. The insurance had estimated the amount and they worked according to the estimate. I was satisfied with their job. I will use them again in the future.

We have had this section of our roof repaired at least twice in 8 years. We were sure there was an issue underlying the shingles. Mike told me that it was because of the location of the roof and the shingles were not properly installed. He confirmed that with pictures once he went up on the roof. He told us that we could easily repair just the missing shingles, but could replace the entire section for peace of mind. We went with the peace of mind and repaired the entire section. They came and left no mess. And they came before another rain and snow, so our bedroom was dry! We were very pleased with their knowledge and work.

We called 4 companies on Angie's list. The "biggest" in town did not have any emergency number listed or on voice mail. Of the 4 companies called, I got one immediately but due to the holiday, they did not have anyone on call. Bone Dry was the only company that responded to the emergency call number and with someone to assist. The guy was professional and immediately found the problems, took pictures for the insurance company and fixed it. Overall it was about a 30 minute call that cast $300 but worth it to keep from damaging the interior.

Very positive. Prompt, clean, fast and courteous.

Went well. Came on time and completed job quickly and neatly.

Fast, courteous, professional. Arrived at 1130a. Tried to locate leak in bedroom. Bubbling on wall was not from a roof or chimney leak. Suggested a plasterer inspect. Removed 1/3 of worn roof over den, replaced with like shingles and were finished by 2pm. Would recommend to everyone.

Jim the System Specialist was professional and very friendly to talk with. Shane the Roofing Specialist also was very friendly and answered all my questions. After the job was completed Shane walk myself and my husband around the house and explained everything that was done. Excellent overall, nice crew, great work and great clean-up. It was so nice to have the job completed in one day. Thanks again Linda F

They were punctual,had a professional crew, and finished the entire job in a little over half a day. Everything was cleaned up when they left, and the price was below all the other estimates. A win-win all around!

Excellent overall. on time, good work ethic, good clean up after.

He was punctual and very professional. They were too expensive.

We noticed a water mark on the ceililng in the upstairs bathroom. I called, and they came and looked at it, and then did a quote. He told us the problem was this chimney foot thing installed by another roof guy a couple of years ago. They came later in the week, and actually reinstalled the chimney foot.

They were prompt to make an estimate and very prompt to complete the work. The price was very competative and service was fantastic. One item that was discussed during the estimate was missed when the work was done - when we contacted our sales rep, Jim Balog, he quickly came back himself to do the work. It was a great experience.

They were efficient, fast, and professional. Also they were outstanding at cleaning up and very considerate of plant material.

Accurate estimate--good fix. No problems--timely service and fair pricing.

It went well. They were professional. They got the whole roof done in one day because the brought ten workers. The gutters were replaced the next day.

Roof was replaced by BoneDry Roofing in 5/08. Over the past two years, several gutter screen sections have come loose. Contacted BoneDry and asked if they would come out and replace/refasten them. Came out the same day and completed the work quickly and professionally at no charge. Outstanding service!

I had an active leak on my three story Oakley house. The leak originated from around one of the chimneys. I had a highly rated Angie's list roofer come out and tell me I needed a mason to look at the loose bricks in the chimney. I then had top rate Angie's list mason come out and describe how for he could rebuild the chimney good-as-new for $4,000 but wouldn't touch the flashing. I then had another roofer come out and tell me that they would tuck and point the chimney and replace the flashing for $2,700. I was about to go with this lower bid when I called Christian Leblanc with Bone Dry Masonry. He explained that source of my problem would not be permanently solved by rebuilding or tuck pointing the chimney. Rather, the 100 year old chimney was oversized for the job it was doing and the hot gases were condensing on the inside of the chimney and slowly rotting the chimney masonry from the inside out. He recommended that they tear down the chimney (it was not in a decorative part of the house) and install a stainless steel pipe to permanently fix this problem. Cost $2900. I really appreciated Christian's original thinking and explanation. I asked him to install another stainless steel vent in our other chimney to prevent further damage to that one. They arrived on time, cleaned up like they had never been there, and even saved me a hundred bricks from the chimney in case I needed to repair another part of the house. Total bill $3,972. So far I'm very pleased. Christian's team even repaired a hole left by a raccoon family at no extra charge. Thanks.

They were timely and professional. Everything was on the quote and there wasn't any difference in the quote and the final price. The work was done very efficiently as quoted and their clean-up was superior.

Bone Dry Roofing and Masonry did a great job on a roof/chimney replacement. From the first time they came out, I had a good feeling about their company. I am a new home owner, who works during the day, and Bone Dry was one of the few roofers that were willing to come out and give me a quote when I was home. Jim explained all the work that he saw needed to be done and asked if I had any specific questions as well. One area he addressed was proper venting for the attic. He recommended a ridge vent and edge vents. My home was built in 1920, lacking any type of venting so I really appreciated this recommendation as it would help cool down my upstairs rooms. All the other roofers quoted me with the simple roof louvers which would have a minimal impact. I also had requested some chimney work be looked at as well; he explained that someone from their masonry division would have to come out as well. This was the first roofer who had an actual masonry specialist review the chimneys. Christian from BDR Masonry, informed me that the chimneys were in bad shape and would not recommend tuck pointing, but to knock down and rebuild. He explained that tuck pointing would have short life, and I would be revisiting my same issues again in a few years. Every, other roofer said they could be tuck pointed, without mention of rebuilding. In the end after a couple of discussions with Christian I choose to rebuild one, and knock down the other one that was used to vent an old furnace and water heater. I now have a chimney that will last at least another 90 years, as opposed to 3-5. As I stated before my house is 90 years old and so therefore I had some wood rot in the attic framing. Bone Dry handled these issues with ease along with framing over the old torn down chimney. The day of installation went very well, the crew showed up at 8:30 in the morning and worked all day, and then for a few hours the following day, as they had to replace more decking than initially thought, and couldn?t get everything finished in one day. Shane communicated very well with me throughout the day, explaining any issues or concerns and how progress was coming. They cleaned everything up very well. Everyone one I worked with Bone Dry was great, including their office manager Connie. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to have roof work done. Out of all the roofers I received estimates from they were by far the most professional and honest roofer to work with. Thanks, again.
