Right-On Roofing Inc

It went well, we did did have to call frequently, however some of it was due to weather.

John from the company was very punctual and professional . He always explained the job and gave me showed me how to proceed. During the winter he was very responsive .

Right On Roofing came out, gave estimate, it was very competitive. They came out and replaced roof fast, efficient and high quality job.

We had an excellent experience with them in every way and we are very grateful to them.

John is honest, conscientious & fairly - priced. I trust him implicitly.

Jhon from the company was ontime, cleaned up nicley. Their price was good and the workers were very polite and they did a good job.

John shows up on time, the jobs are finished completely. If I have any problems he comes back right away.

We had a hard surface roof over our family room but it was too heavy so John Sweeney from Right on Roofing Company did a tear off and replaced the roof with shingles. He matched the shingles very closely to the rest of the roof. We were very pleased with his work. He charged us $2300 and the price also included the installation of a double layer of ice and water shielding and a new gutter system in that same area of the roof. I’ve had an association with Right on Roofing Company since we moved into this house in 2005. John Sweeney had done the initial inspection of our home then. Shortly after we had moved into this house, we had noticed that some very large icicles had formed in the upper roof of the family room. The icicles cascaded down and tore the roof up. We called Mr. Sweeney and he came right away, securely covered our roof until the weather cleared. He came back and repaired it for us. We were happy with his service and since then we have used him yearly for roof inspections and for repairs that have come up. He has also worked on our gutter system in the past. We are very happy with his staff. They are prompt and courteous. They come in and work non-stop until the job is done. They do a professional job. I think his prices could be a little better though. I would continue to use Right on Roofing Company in the future.

Before we purchased our home, our home inspector told us that our slate roof was aged and in need of further inspection by a professional roofer. We went with Right on Roofing on the recommendation of our real estate agent. John from Right on Roofing came out and inspected the slate roof and the flat roofs. He gave us a quote to replace the existing flat roof, and one to either replace the existing slate roof with asphalt shingles or repair the existing slate roof--but he recommended repairing the existing roof. The sellers agreed to pay the company for the repairs which would take place after we took ownership of the house. Right on Roofing came out on time, as expected, and made "repairs" to our slate roof and replaced our flat roofs. Everything seemed to be fine for a month or two until we had a leak in our kitchen ceiling. We assumed that the water must be coming from a place other than the roof, since it was just serviced, but the handyman we called confirmed the leak was coming from the slate roof. Someone had repaired it by nailing the slate to the roof -- definitely not a recommended practice. ***I'm not saying that Right on Roofing made this repair -- it is possible that these repairs were made this way by one of the previous owners. But, if Right on Roofing did not make this repair, then they neglected to to notice it during their inspection of our roof, which is equally as shoddy in my opinion.*** We made a temporary repair, and proceeded to experience additional leaks in the kitchen and in other parts of our home. During a thaw in December, we experienced a big leak in our son's bedroom, which prompted us to contact other roofers for their opinions. It was the consensus from several other roofing companies that the several areas of the slate roof had been shoddily repaired (e.g., some slates had been calked or glued to the existing slates, others had been wedged between existing slates, and others showed evidence of being nailed or screwed to the existing roof) and that the roof would be better served by being replaced rather than repaired. **Again, these failed repairs may have been made by Right on Roofing or they may have been made by another service provider prior to us owning the home. However, if Right on Roofing did not make these repairs, they should have noticed them during their inspection of our roof.*** Additionally, during its inspection, Right on Roofing failed to notice that our roof was missing the guards that prevent ice from building up on the slate roof and eventually sliding off onto the flat roof or the ground below. Other contractors informed us that this should have been an easy catch -- instead, an snow/ice build up on the north side of our house eventually onto the gutter, tearing it free from the house and requiring us to replace it. Also, separate contractors confirmed that our flat roof repairs had been completed incorrectly -- the wrong material had been used and it was incorrectly installed. Although we are not currently having a problem with them, we were told to expect them to begin to leak and require replacement in the next 5-10 years -- about half the expected lifespan of a correctly installed flat roof. We ended up having to pay another company to tear off the slate roof, replace it with a new asphalt single roof to stop the leaks, and to install a new gutter to replace the damaged one.

We saved $14,300 by avoiding this roofer.

It went really well. I was quite pleased with them and would use them again.

They know what they are doing and do a good job, but unfortunately I felt that they were dishonest on a couple of occasions and that their price was very high. I didn't get many quotes because one of these jobs was an emergency, but in retrospect I will most likely never use them again because I felt that I was taken advantage of and after calling around, I was correct in feeling this way.

The seller really dealt with them more than I did. We just chose the company. They got the job done on time and had a fair price. They completed the work 3 weeks ago.

They were excellent. The prices are fair.

The crew from Right On Roofing was professional. Any mess that they made was cleaned up. They were able to stop a leak in my roof that three other companies were not able to fix. I would use their service again in the future if needed.

John Sweeney got back to me very promptly, came and gave an estimate a day later and then had his men come to fix the leaks within the week. I checked previous reports on his work and found the quoted price was in keeping with a similar job on a garage. The men worked efficiently and cleared up well and were confident they had found the source of the leaks. When they were on the roof, they found that 2 tiles needed replacing and the price of these was the only addition to the initial estimate, John telephoned to check that we wanted the tiles. I have waited to file the report to check that the repairs have held up through the winter and spring .... and so far so good! John had been recommended to us by 2 neighbors, but it was great to see their opinion confirmed by Angie's List members. Also it turned out he had previously checked out our roof and laid to rest concerns we had about the chimney.

I called John Sweeney and got a quick response. He came to the house and told me I did not need a new roof - that the shingle could be replaced and that he would go across the roof and re-nail where the shingles were rippling. He also gave me advice about the front of the roof where there had been some ice dams.

Although I am ultimately pleased with the result, I have to say that I have never had to work so hard to get a contractor to: (a) Return my initial calls, (b) To get an estimate and (c) To get the work scheduled. I know, I know, why would I go with a contractor who couldn't be bothered to return my initial calls. I ask myself that same question now, but I had just moved back to my hometown after 20 years away; I was told by several people (including my broker) that this roofing company was THE BEST; etc., etc. Looking back, I wouldn't do it again. I started calling this company in early August. Only after my broker intervened and placed a call to the roofer did I get a call back (quite some time after my initial calls). I had similar response issues getting a written estimate and getting the work scheduled. Again, the work appears to have been done very well, but I just don't want to have to chase someone that much to get it done. From initial call to finish, 3 months.

They had the whole job done in one day. They had about ten roofers, started about 8 in the morning and finished about 6pm. They were very neat, clean, and cautioned me about not driving in the driveway so i wouldn't drive over the nails. They cleaned that up thoroughly so i wouldn't punch a hole in my tires. Two days later i thought i saw a piece of the roof sticking up and they came right out to make sure that wasn't the case.

He was very nice, professional, and reasonably priced. As far as I can tell he did a good job. He replaced the wood and did what he was asked to do.

John and his crew did excellent work. They provided the estimate and did the majority of the work before we moved here from out of state, and returned later to do some follow-up work on 2 flat roofs that we later learned had small leaks. We were very pleased, and would definitely hire again.

Estimate was done the day after request. Work was completed within 2 weeks of our acceptance of proposal. The area was left very clean. Although there was some extra work due to damaged wood, only an additional $25 was added to the original estimate.

JOHN SWEENEY RETURNED MY CALL PROMPTLY. BECAUSE HE HAS DONE WORK FOR US BEFORE, HE GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE & AN APPROXIMATE DATE FOR THE REPAIR WITHIN A FEW DAYS OF MY CALL. HIS WORK CREW SHOWED UP ON THE APPOINTED DATE & MADE THE REPAIR. HE MAILED US THE INVOICE & CAME BY TO PICK UP THE CHECK SEVERAL DAYS LATER. JOHN & HIS CREW HAVE DONE SEVERAL SMALL & MEDIUM SIZED JOBS FOR US IN THE LAST FEW YEARS. WE HAVE FOUND HIM TO BE VERY RELIABLE & EASY TO WORK WITH. HE DOES VERY GOOD WORK.

WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WEREN'T GOING TO HAVE ANY MAJOR PROBLEMS. JOHN SWEENY, INSPECTOR, WAS GREAT.

THEY WERE REALLY GOOD. I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE THEY WERE THERE WHEN THEY WERE WORKING. THEY WERE VERY POLITE AND DID A VERY GOOD JOB. I DEFINITELY WILL USE THEM AGAIN.
