John M Shinn Roofing LLC

Both John and his wife were very pleasant and professional. Estimate was in line with others, but John did provide more work in his estimate. He replaced our entire roof, a skylight, and installed two attic fans. Everything was done in a day, and the area was left in pristine condition. We were very pleased with all aspects of this job, and would certainly use him again. We highly recommend John.

All work was performed as stated on time and done right.

I was thrilled with the entire job, from initial contact to completion. John called when he said he would, scheduled the job quickly to accommodate me (I had a leak in my kitchen roof) and was on site throughout the roofing process. He did everything he said he would, plus more (like he even cleaned out my gutters while he was at it). Right from the beginning, I felt that John was honest and his prices were more than fair. I had complete confidence in his skills and that of his workers. He completed my roof and cleaned everything up in ONE day. I would recommend John Shinn Roofing to everyone. You won't find a better roofer, anywhere.

John was very professional. He and his wife, who I spoke with on the phone made me feel very much at ease. From my initial meeting with him, he knows his stuff. He took the time to answer all my questions about my roof. He gave me a price quote, which I agreed to. From there it was smooth sailing. John and his crew were very punctual on the scheduled date and time. Very efficient crew. The day was a tough day weather wise. Cold,windy, occasional snow flurries. They still completed the job in the time frame he quoted. Excellent cleanup after the roof was completed. The roof looks great! I must say, I'm very satisfied with the job J.M. Shinn performed.

My house has about 1500 square feet of roof, with three sections: The front Porch, the back porch, and the main structure, which is about a 30 degree slope. The front and back porches are probably just 5 or 10 degrees of slope. John responded quickly to my request for an estimate and, after inspecting my old roof, came back with an estimate of $5,800. The estimate included a power attic fan with a thermostat that John suggested be set to go on when humidity reached 50%, or temperature 100-110 degrees, and also an upgrade to 30 lb. felt which both together added just $250. The $5800 included the fan and felt upgrade. It took John and his crew a full day, plus an hour or two of the next day, to complete the work. The job was done during daylight savings time, so the shortened daylight hours prevented it being done in a day. If the job had been done in the summer, I am sure the work could be completed in one day. John is personable, knowledgeable, and professional. The work was done for the agreed-upon price. If a neighbor asked me for a recommendation for a roofer, I would not hesitate to recommend John M. Shinn Roofing, LLC.

I was very pleased with both my interaction with everyone I spoke with from the company as well as the work done - from my initial conversation with John's wife thru the repair work that was completed. I received a call back from John the early evening of the day I initially called. John went thru the details of the problem and gave me a rough estimate. The actual work was completed the very next day. John showed up in the morning with one of his workers (Luis), looked at the roof, gave me the price and Luis completed the job. While I didn't do any comparative shopping around for price, I thought the cost was fair (hence my "B" rather than assuming an "A" for Price in the ratings). Luis was great and took time out (despite the cold - think with wind chill it was in the single digits) to explain details about the problem and the repair he made. Overall the repair looks great - I can't even tell where he patched in the shingles. I will definitely use John Shinn Roofing for any future repairs or work I have done on the roof.

Fast quote, very responsive. Quote was equal price to another contractor but John had more work in his quote. The house is over 100 years old and the roof was in better shape than John thought so it actually cost less than the quote. Came as scheduled and John was on site the entire time. Very fast installation and no more leaks! Overall good experience and would highly recommend

Couldn't even get an estimate.

John Shinn (owner) and his crew did an excellent job. Started at 800 AM and completed large job (with cleanup) by 500 PM. John was on site all day and is a working owner which assures invovlement in project. John is a knowledgeable craftsman with extensive experience and answers for all roofing problems. I would recommend him for any roofing job. His pricing was the most reasonable and he delivered all goods and services as promised in his written proposal.

House was bought as a short sale. John gave us an estimate in September 2013 and held the price until short sale was finalized in April 2014. Within a week after closing, John and his crew were on the job, which only took one day. They also did a great job of cleaning up after they were done. John was a pleasure to deal with as he is courteous and professional. I would highly recommend him.

The process was seamless and professionally handled.

After a bit of delay due to rain, John and his crew arrived as scheduled on the 7th of August. Most of the roof tiling was completed the first day. During the coarse of that first day, John discovered several areas adjoining the roof where the wood siding had rotted out due to water penetration and neglect of previous owners. He gave me an acceptable estimate right away to replace and paint the affected areas. This took another day and a half to complete. The end result is a beautiful new roof that enhances the overall look of the house and some well done repairs to areas of siding. Finally, John is efficient and skilled, paying a lot of attention to detail. He also pays a lot of attention to the work of his crew as any Sargent Major might do. He realizes that his reputation is reflected in his and his crew's work product. He communicated very well with us about what he was doing and why. Over all, it was an excellent experience and I feel confident recommending him to anyone else.

John and his crew did a very good job. The project doubled in scope as i own a log home and once the old roof was removed the support structure was not acceptable for the new roof. John explained all our options and worked with us to get the job done right! We were very pleased with the workmanship and knowledge of the crew. They did a great job cleaning up when the job was complete and made sure we were pleased with the job. We would strongly recommend John to all our friends and neighbors.

I would highly recommend John Shinn roofing for your next project. When I initially called, I left a message on his voice mail. John was on vacation and was still able to get back to me within 45 minutes. His pricing is more then fair and the work he does is of high quality. The job was completed within a day. Another contractor quoted my project at a considerably higher price and thought it would take four days to complete. The job site was completely clean when John was finished with the work and I didn't find any stray nails or debris on my property after John left.

The project went exactly as John stated it would. John and his crew are professional, courteous and are really polished at their craft of roofing. They do not "race" they have a great pulse and get things done in a smooth and consistent manor. It was great to watch and I enjoyed having his team at our property. The project we had consisted of installing 4 new ceiling joists that had rotted from an old leaking sky light and also re-deck the entire roof. (all new plywood) The re-deck was to deal with an issue from an improperly ventilated roof system that caused some mold. We also had to re-frame for the new skylight and and installed some cool new roof ventilation fans. . . Prior to the project start date, John and I had discussed different options and he walked me through the best solution to deal with my vaulted ceiling and attic space so that we could address any moisture issues going forward. We now have roof mounted fans (tucked on the back side of house) to draw air and ensure that the attic area and vaulted ceiling get significant air flow and moisture is sucked out. The roof mounted fans are on a humidistat and thermostat ensuring that if the humidity gets to high the fan draws air out. Pretty cool . . . John, provided the most knowledge and insight during the quote and initial review of the house. I had different contractors swing by to provide a quote. John won the deal hands down based on his knowledge and professionalism. He uses great roofing material, does not skimp on any of the details and ensures the job gets down right. John took the time to explain how roofs need to breath and what needed to be done to fix our issues. I'm a handy guy and like to ensure I hire people that are good at what they do. John, knows roofs . . . . and is not afraid to talk about it. He can explain roofs to the cows come home. . . I love it, I learned a lot and appreciated his insight. On roofing day everything arrived and went as John stated. John is on the roof doing the work with his crew. Things are getting done right and are being managed properly. Following the roofing and clean-up, John personally did a detailed inspection to ensure we had a great looking property. Re-roofing a house is messy . . . A lot of stuff comes off the house. John ensured the property looked better then it did when he arrived. We have received many compliments from neighbors walking by on the quality and esthetics of the new roof. Every-time I pull into the drive, I'm excited about how nice the home looks. . .. THANK YOU

Requested John to give me a quote on replacing our roof or just making several repairs due to a mold problem. John contacted me the very next day and scheduled an appt for the following day at 9am on a Sat. John didnt arrive as I called him at 11am. He apologized stating he lost my number, which was odd because he just called the day before with his phone. Again he did apologize and still came out that day to give me an estimate. Moving forward, John recommended we replace the entire roof and address the mold concerned, which I agreed with when we compared the cost. Contract was developed and the job was completed in 2 days. The weather was a huge factor not allowing them to get there when first thought and updates were given by John and his wife throughout the process. I did feel that we could have been updated a little more as it was a few weeks before he could get to the job, again because of the weather only. The job was done in 2 days as stated and the roof looks GREAT. John recommended a darker shingle than what we were first considering and glad he did because it looks sharp. I was somewhat disappointed by the clean-up as after the first day work, we came home to find our upstairs hallway to be dirty with small pieces of wood and shingles. After the job was completed, I then found 5-7 nails in our driveway and around our yard. I called John and he did apologize for the nails as he stated they must have fell out of his workers pouch. The upstairs hallway he did apologize but was "unsure" how it happened and stated I had every right to be upset. John did stop by the house and completed another outside clean-up a few days later with the magnet and also offered to pay for any flat tires should it happen. Overall John was knowledgeable and thought his price was fair. The only disappointment was the cleanup as stated before.

Did not make a decision yet since we are pretty far for them to travel and he apologized because the job was too small for his gutter guy and mason to travel. I respect his straightforwardness and honesty. Trying to get estimates for gutters to see what we want to do. Would definitely recommend John without hesitation , he's a rare find.

Professional and honest! A great combination. Thanks.

John came in under the price of other roofers and provided more/better services and materials. John was a top-notch professional from start to finish. He kept me updated on our start date and whether or not it would be affected by the weather. John did everything he said he was going to do. My only concern was that some cement got pock-marked by material being thrown from the roof to the ground. I brought this to John's attention and have complete confidence that he will address this in future jobs. I tell you, John's entire focus is customer satisfaction. It was very refreshing to encounter a positive attitude like John's!

Showed up on time for the estimate, seemed professional - gave me a ballpark figure and followed up with a more accurate on point estimate. I originally wanted a skylight that I had purchased prior and he explained that because I had trusses instead of rafters that it could not be installed. He suggested that I purchase a skylight made for trusses and that he would install the light and any finish work we would have to complete. My husband decided that a sun tunnel type of skylight would be easier to finish and that is what we chose to have put in. We picked out a shingle color (went with a 30 yr ) and a Velux Sun Tunnel low profile flat glass and John ordered both and called to schedule the job when materials came in. He scheduled the job for Tuesday April 8, 2014 and confirmed with a phone call the night before. Monday it had rained and was supposed to clear out by Tuesday morning. He showed up on time with his crew, but it was still drizzling when they arrived. He waited and after a time decided to reschedule the following day - which he did. The job was completed that day. After John and the crew left, my husband went through the yard with our magnet and found some staples and nails that they had missed. Overall I thought the experience was very good and would recommend to others looking to get a roof done.

john first came to my house to remove ice buildup on roof. that was 500 of the 7500 that was paid to him. i knew the roof needed to be replaced for some time now and while john and his men were here .i had him give me an estimate to do roof and remove the back porch. the estimate was 7000 to do both things. we had also discussed other issues that we needed done, and he gave advice and people who he recommended for work he does not do. he was very professional and friendly. he got here on time and had everything done in 2 days. they were fast and had everything cleaned up before they left. i would highly recommend him for any work you need done.

We needed our old roof shingles to be replaced and found John Shinn on Angie's List with an excellent rating for roofing work. We have been working with John for two years on this project. We have a large roof and his price was fair. When we initially met him about this job, he did not pressure us to replace our roof at that time. He actually advised us that our roof still had some life in it. It was his integrity that let us know he was the right person with whom to do business. Throughout the planning process, he was thorough and answered all of our questions and concerns. We knew exactly what to anticipate with regard to how the roof shingles would be replaced. When we finally committed to the the project he kept us informed of his timeframe and reinforced the process by which they would do the work. This took a little over two days. The crew arrived every day when they said they would and John was not only on site with the crew, he was up on the roof directing & quality checking the work, as well as performing it personally. They kept our property clean throughout the process. The entire crew was hard working and courteous. We would recommend John Shinn to anyone in need of any roofing work or advice. He is responsible, professional and reliable. It was an excellent experience for us.

After I found J.M Shinn Roofing on Angie's List, I called and left a voice mail. He called me back within 30 min of the call and went out to do the estimate the very next day. After the estimate, he walked me through everything to make sure I understood what products he was using and why. He returned all my calls within a very reasonable time and never made me feel pressured as if i had to go with him. We had three other quotes,but decided to go with him. He and his guys were very punctual and very neat with their work. They took all the trash with them which was great. They did a great job with the support wall as well. I would definitely use them again.

John is the owner and is actively involved in all of his projects. He is very helpful and truly believes in doing it right and putting his name on it.

John and his crew were on site and ready to work on time. They were all courteous, professional and effective in the work that they performed. Let me start with my first interaction with Shin Roofing. John's wife Chris (always a pleasure) returned my call and set up an appointment for an estimate. Once completed, I was provided TWO estimates, one with and one without new plywood. The option was based on the condition of the planks under the slate and gaps between the planks, I chose to have the plywood installed. John removed the chimney at no additional cost. The determination that the roof fan was needed shortly after the slates were removed. Since it was not included in the original quote, John just installed it, no additional cost. I had not expected this, nor do I think anyone else should. The work was completed it 1 1/2 days, with the removal of the slate, re-sheeting and the shingling of the main house completed in the first day. Due to the loss of light, the small addition needed to be completed the morning of the second day. John was clear on the expectation before the work began. Thanksgiving and some rather questionable weather days were the only delays in starting the work. Throughout the two days John was on site and if there was any changes (such as the roof fan), he immediately brought them to our attention. John was clear on the expectations, the needs and end results of the work that we was doing. At the end of the work, John and his crew left our yard and deck in better condition that when they arrived. ALL of the trash was cleaned up. There were no empty food or drink containers, no butts, nothing was left behind. The bonus was that the leaves and twigs from our trees went along for the ride, thanks guys! Would I use Shinn roofing again? In a heartbeat. Professional, on time, set and delivered expectations. Oh yes ONE last thing that John was very clear on...He physically installed the roof fan, but does NOT do electrical work. That's on us, again he was quite clear and provided a recommendation for the electrical work I am not bashing, John does roofs that's all that he does professionally and does roofing amazingly well. I mean, come on, its called Shinn Roofing, not Shinn of All Trades.
