Boak & Sons Inc

Insulation, Roofing, Gutters,

About us

Boak & Sons was established in 1974 as a small insulation company by Sam Boak while he was only a senior in high school. With the high energy costs of the 70’s, we expanded early on into the roofing business. We offered economical roof installations through cutting edge technology and equipment, allowing customers to recoup even more in energy savings. Now, we serve both residential and commercial customers to provide quality customer service from Cleveland, Ohio to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and everywhere in between. Our services have also expanded to include sheet metal, siding and gutters along with roofing and insulation. Our company lives by two simple rules: 1. Safety is always first and 2. Never, ever, EVER cut a corner. With over 150 employees serving our customers, these rules help us achieve superior customer service as well as a work environment that gives our employees a safe place to call home.

Response from Boak & Sons Inc
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. After researching this matter, we found that the address we had on file for you was incorrect. A proposal was completed and mailed on 10/17/14, but unfortunately never reached you due to our error. We cannot apologize enough for this discrepancy, and are sorry for the inconvenience it has caused you. It is extremely important to us to provide the best service possible to each and every one of our customers. We pride ourselves in the quality of work we do in every one of our projects. If we can still be of service to you, we would love the opportunity to help you with your project.

Description of Work: Overall I think these guys did a good job. I had the siding of my house redone along with new guttering and down pipes. The installers were knowledgeable about what they were doing, and let me know of what they were doing in advance, and anything that came up during the work. |There was a discrepancy between the quote and what was ultimately done (about $1000 total) which was identified by the installer the first day he was there, so should have been pointed out by the estimator, but overall, not that big of a deal. There were a few aesthetic points that I would have liked to be different (a very visible join in metal flashing by the front door, flashing corners that are cut with visible gaps) but again it is not major. I would recommend this company to others.

Thank you for taking the time to review our company. We appreciate you. We are sorry you were disappointed in the price. Unfortunately, we must put a price on having men readily available to mobilize with the proper tools and equipment and respond as quickly as possible. This is our minimum price. Boak & Sons will not proceed with any service without getting the customers approval (price, etc...) first. We are pleased that you were overly satisfied with our services otherwise. Again, we thank you.

Description of Work: We had Boak quote full attic insulation for us. Initially, we thought it was going to be a huge expense, but when Boaks representative called on us and estimated our job, it was only $499.00. He promised that the crew would be at our home at 8:00 am and take approximately 2 hours to complete the job. They were here promptly at 8 as promised, were polite and efficient and clean and were out in less than 90 minutes. The job is guaranteed and we'd certainly have Boak out for other services and have continually recommended them ever since. Ed and Marguerite Hassay

Overall, I have no complaints.
Description of Work: I had Boak and Sons install insulation in my attic. They came and made the installation with little mess, completed the job and were courteous. Had no problems while they were in the house, or since. I plan to have them come back and complete the insulation in the walls.
