Klam Construction, LLC

Klam installed the safety hooks with very little notice. I also appreciated that Klam came back to check that the shingles were not damaged and that the vents were still open at no extra charge when the painting was completed. I am writing a second review, because I think it is a real plus when a contractor is responsive after a job has been finished.

In a word, GREAT! As a highly experienced roofer himself and owner of the company, Abel immediately inspired confidence during the initial visit with his obvious expertise, honesty and passion. This was a refresing contrast to the uncertain and slightly "greasy" feeling we got from some of the other companies that only sent out sales reps. I'm sure those companies are fine roofers but a big part of this process is quickly establishing trust. For instance, Abel was the only one that insisted on looking at ALL of our attic not just the easily accessible portion. As a result, he found a significant black mold problem (which he showed me) and added 40 sheets of plywood to his bid that the other guys would have surprised us with later and, of course, charged extra for or, worse, ignored the problem completely leaving us at risk of a big expense down the road. As for the work itself and the experience with everyone else at Klam, ours was similarly excellent to all the other reviews here so I don't need to comment further. We feel great about our new roof and know we don't have to worry about it for the next 25 years with Klam and Owens Corning both having our backs if a problem ever arises. Do yourself a huge favor and give Abel a chance to earn your business. We're sure glad we did.

Klam Construction completed our roof on time, on budget and the whole experience was thorough and professional from the initial inspection and bid to the final inspection after the job was completed. Owner Abel's team was very careful about the plantings we have near the house and did a great job of cleaning the site at the end of each work day. They worked safely and completed the roof on our house and also the roof on our shop in three days. These guys know what they are doing. We would definitely hire Klam Construction again.

In a word, outstanding. Abel, the owner came to our house to provide an estimate. He spent about an hour taking detailed notes and measurements and pictures of what was involved in the project. He even went into the attic to see if there were any issues that he could not see from the outside. After his inspection he spent another 45minutes explaining what needed to be done and how he would do the work. His detailed written proposal arrived promptly as promised. His crew arrived exactly when scheduled. The crew leader, Manuel was very skilled and professional and keep us informed as they worked. There were five men on the crew. Everyone of them were friendly, competent and were careful to protect our house, and landscaping. The house had very difficult access, the men had to hand carry all the material up to the roof and the waste a long way to where the dumpster was located on the street. They never complained, just went about the job in a very professional manner. They had to remove 4 layers of old shingles, install new plywood over the entire roof, install install new flashing and repair three areas on the roof that had water damage. After each 12 hour day the cleaned up the area so it looked like no work was done that day. KLAM has a lot of positive reviews and from our experience they are well deserved. We are completely satisfied with everything from initial contact to the finished new roof including our contacts with Katie in the office. One would expect to have to pay a premium for this quality, but the quote we received from KLAM was considerably lower than the other bids. When the final bill was delivered by Abel there were no surprises or add-ons. We recommend KLAM Construction without any hesitation.

The person on the phone said that this company only does full roof replacements, and does not take small jobs such as I was requesting.

We had Klam Construction replace our roof a few weeks ago. I had a handful of people come out to quote, and their bid was somewhere in the middle, but it included adding a few skylights and a lot of additional venting in the attic, so I felt like it was a good price. Abel spent a few hours at my house, went into the attic and went over everything with me - I felt totally confident that he knew what he was doing and they would do a good job. His crew worked hard and even worked late when they ran into an issue with our roof (most of the roof had rotten plywood, we had to replace A LOT of plywood. It was an added expense, but I am glad they did it and didn't just put a new roof over rotten plywood like the roofers before them had). The roof looks great, and after spending all last winter dealing with and worrying about leaks, I am very happy to have a roof that I know is really solid! I would (and already have) recommend Klam Construction if you need a new roof!

I hired Klam Construction to replace my roof. Abel the owner came and did a thorough check on the roof and from the attic. From the three companies that I called, Abel gave the most detail estimate, he also mentioned possible cost for replacing more of the wood under the roof. We got scheduled the next week, and completed in 3 days. The crew came around 8AM, and stayed till about 7PM, cleaning up after the day work. Very happy with the result.

Just finished up a roofing project with KLAM. I took 14 bids while deciding on a company. Abel took the time to do a thorough inspection. His bid was comprehensive and incorporated 12 extra sheets of plywood (which his competitors said would be added to thier bid if it was determined needed). If the material was not needed they would be removed from the bill. Even with the extra material incorporated the bid came in much lower than his closest competition. The work was completed on time and on budget. Great experience from start to finish. Honest respectful, and fair. I'll definitely be reccommending KLAM to anyone that needs a roof.

Fantastic company and crew. Abel knows his stuff, doesn’t cut corners. The install crew are amazing, always on time, fast, thorough and really cover the details. The house was cleaned up every day. They aced our complex roof in 5 days. Highly recommended!

EXCELLENT. No problems on job. Cleaned area after completion, hauled off used stuff, work completed job on time. Would definitely recommend Abel and his crew!

My new roof is a work of art, with every shingle meticulously placed to complete the perfectly symmetrical pattern. Even the driver delivering the roofing materials commented on how extraordinary that can be in the roofing business. Klam construction stands out for other reasons as well. I chose them because they had only top reviews on Angielist and Owens Corning preferred contractor site. Abel, the owner, also is a top level Platinum installer for Owens Corning which entitles his clients to their best warranty. I also researched Klam with the BBB and checked his CCB # with positive results. One of the factors that sealed the deal for me was Klam's attention to detail. Abel went into the attic spaces and on the roof before making a detailed drawing of the work to be completed including extra ventilation that other companies did not include. Ventilation is one of the most important pieces to having your roof last. During the roofing, Klam took extra care not to damage my fragile driveway. Finally they replaced a few cedar siding pieces that were hard to find at no extra cost. In summary, I couldnt be happier with my new roof and highly recommend Klam construction as the best value for roof replacement . You will be hard pressed to find another company with such high reviews on multiple sites!

Abel, the owner of KLAM Construction, was the only roofer, among those who estimated my project, who pro-actively requested to see not just the top side, but the under-side of the roof (both in my attic and in garage). He noticed the beginnings of a moisture problem in my attic, emailed me photos, and installed extra soffit and roof vents to correct this problem. Once I had hired them, they were able to accommodate my specific scheduling needs, even though the work was done in March, when schedules sometimes need to be changed because of the weather. The roofing crew worked hard, were respectful, and left the place clean.

Fantastic. Abel's crew were great folks, and support from Katie Alley was beyond great! Abel provided extra crew when rain was coming to be sure we had no damage. Cleanup was the best I have ever experienced. Best contractor experience I have ever had!

Very well. Analysis of our roof and what it needed was thorough and well explained. The work and work crew were very well organized, pleasant and businesslike. The work was done well. The crew found problems we didn't know about that had been created by previous roofers and fixed them without extra charge.

Excellent company, excellent job. I got 5 bids, this was the best price and fit gut feeling wise. Abel, the owner, is a stand up guy - I trusted him and his knowledge and experience and the kind of people he would have on his crew. Wow, those guys meant business! Everything flowed in a very precise way, it was really well done, and nothing, I mean not one scrap, was left after cleanup. Total pros. I was worried about a few things, so Abel went up to the attic and took pictures while crawling around on those narrow beams so I could understand what he was talking about. This company does work on big subdivisions, but they treated my house like it was the same price as those 500,000 ones. Don't wait till you've got a whole bunch of plywood sheets to replace,it adds to the price. And go with the one you trust. I'm really glad I did!

Klam construction roofed my garage and did a great job. The owner Abel took all the time I needed to explain what he was going to do. The crew that showed up did a great job putting the roof on and cleaning up the mess in a very timely professional manner. The office staff that worked with me were great. Thank you

Other than weather delays went very smoothly. Got 3 bids for the roof and all came within a couple hundred dollars of each other. We actually had plywood under the shakes which surprised us and Able of Klam reduced the price by a couple grand (which he did not have to do and which I would not have even known about if he did not mention it). That was a nice surprise and the reason for an A in the professionalism category. Other than that the roof looks good with no problems (so far). On a side note my wife was very impressed on how nice the clean up was after the work was finished.

Abel (company owner) took the time to inspect not only the outside but the inside of our roof and took the time to sit down and cover the roofing product, warranties and what needed to be done for our roof. One of the roofing estimates we had done from another company, the gentleman did not inspect the attic space. Abel did inspect it and found some moisture issues related to inadequate venting. We are very thankful that Abel discovered the issues and that it was fixed before it led to a mold issue. Abel is very knowledgeable about the business because he has worked in this industry for many years, he knows what is not done right. I felt very confident that he knew what he was doing because he has so much experience. He is very honest and gives a fair price, the price was originally less than stated below but we had many sheets of plywood replaced due to dry rot. Katie who did the communication with me in the office was great. We had one miscommunication regarding the job but it was remedied without question and did not affect the outcome. She communicated clearly when the dumpster etc would arrive and when they would be picked up (which was prompt). The crew showed up on time each day, they were polite and very thorough in their cleanup. We were concerned about the rain around the time of the job, they worked on dry days and when a stray shower rolled through, the tarp went up immediately. They worked well as a team and did an EXCELLENT job! I could tell that they take pride in their work to do a good job. I can't leave out Glenda...she took our money ; ). Abel is very personable, cares about his customers and reassured us that if there are any issues or questions at all once the project is completed to call him. EXCELLENTLY run company that is all about customer service and EXTREMELY high quality workmanship! Would definitely recommend KLAM for any roofing needs! Thank you Abel for giving us such a good roof that gives us peace of mind in this wet Oregon weather!

I recommend KLAM Construction because they do a good job, and more importantly they are honest in that they deliver what they say they will. Abel, the owner of KLAM (who has many years of experience in the field), is an honest, trust worthy businessman. He is very likeable, and an easy-to-talk-to person. The bid was very thorough and Abel answered all of my questions. He was very clear about the contract and what to expect. He offered assurances of quality of work, offered excellent products that came with warrantees, and said he was building a long-term customer relationship. Because of all of those points, I went with KLAM over the other bids I received. The job was done on time (they even did a few little extras for me) and it looked great. The guys who came were respectful and cleaned up all the debris when they were done. The office staff was also very professional and easy to work with. There were a substantial additional number of plywood boards needing to be replaced than expected (but the cost of the boards were more than fair). I loved the beautiful roof after it was up. After looking over the work, there were a few issues with the job but Abel took care of all those concerns (as he promised with no problems and in a good period of time) and all is great. And honestly this one of the big reasons why I would recommend them and will do business with them in the future. I feel like I can trust them. Finally, driving home and looking at the beautiful new roof is great but now that the rains have started it is wonderful knowing the roof is solid and well done. Thanks KLAM!

Abel came out first, set the bar high (Others were late). Not only did he inspect the roof, but he went inside the attic as well (which others did not). They were also able to make some modifications to the front of the house where we had beam rot. They called the day of to ensure they were cutting back the right length. Overall the job was completed in less than 2 days. We are very happy we went with Klam and would definitely recommend them again.

I had a few questions before the job started and Abel responded immediately when I called. He even came out an extra time to fully answer my questions. They did not add any extra work, as one of the other bidders had suggested. Abel's crew did an amazing job in about two days! They were very quiet and totally cleaned up after themselves. Friends had told me after a roofing job they had found nails and shingles all over the yard, that was NOT the case with Klam Construction. I have a lot of garden plants around the house and they did not disturb them at all. The roof looks great and we are happy with the job!

It turned out great! They uncovered a big rotten mess when they did the low-slope roof tear-off. They wound up rebuilding the roof from the bedroom sheetrock below to the top. New rafters, insulation, decking...all the way to the top IB membrane. Rafael and the rest of Abel's crew are the best craftsmen in the business! I couldn't believe they rebuilt it stronger than ever, with some additional slope, and now no more leaks between that roof and my deck roof. I half-way expected a foot, hammer, 2 by 8, or something to come through the ceiling as they worked on it, but it never happened. They are amazing! They took great care to cover things up when rain interrupted the job. They did a good job keeping the tear-off from hurting my wife's precious flowers and bushes, which was a huge plus. Good cleanup during and after the job. Abel itemized the extra costs due to the extra restoration work involved, and was very fair in the final bill. Abel a fun guy to know and work with, which is also a huge plus for this company. Even the office staff, Katie and others are very friendly, prompt, and helpful. This is a professional outfit.

Beyond pleased and happy with every step of the project! Abel and Katie were wonderful. Answered every question throughout the process, were readily available to keep me informed. Crew took extra precaution to protect my landscaping. Anything they needed to move (birdbath, hose reel, garden wagons) were returned to the exact spot. Thoroughly cleaned up the yard and driveway of smallest debris. Project could not have gone any more efficient or smoother. Quality workmanship and quality customer service. Klam Construction is just the best!

Everything went well! The roofers were a very hard working team! The roof and new skylights look amazing! The job was completed in approximately 3 days!

Amazing company. Price was reasonable, professional service and great company to work with. I chose them after interviewing four other companies. I could not be happier. I referred them to my sister, my mother and my neighbors. They had them do their roof as well, and had nothing but positives to say.
