John M Shinn Roofing LLC

We found the Shinn Company very professional. They arrived on time, finished the job in 2 days and removed all the debris. The workers were very professional and advised us of any problems they found.

I used Angies to search for roofers in the area. JHShinn roofing was listed as one of the better choices and using just Angies List reviews, I decided to contact them. From the start, John and his team were the most responsive and helpful out of all of the contractors that I called and he is very cost competitve. John takes a personal interest in each customer's job and makes sure that one fully understands each step of the process and the work that he will perform. John and his crew arrived right on time as they promised and got right to work. Beside replacing my roofing, we knew that there was a leak in one part of the roof. John expertly figured out the root cause of the leak (poor workmanship by a prior contractor who did an addition for us) and then went above and beyond to make sure that the roof was well repaired and better protected than before. The entire time John and his crew were here they were courteous and very professional. They were done within a day as promised and when they left, they cleaned everything up so well, that you couldn't tell they had been there other than the brand new roof on the house. I would certainly hire him again in the future and I will be recommending to friends in the area.

It went really well. There were no problems.

John Shinn (owner) was totally professional in all aspects of getting the work done....from the initial estimate to the actual scheduling and arrival on day of work. John was prompt, followed up with promised phone calls. He is a man of his word. He was honest and pricing was very reasonable. I had received his estimate in early June and gave him a small down payment. I explained that I wouldn't be ready to proceed until sometime in August or September. His office contacted me in early August to see when I might be ready (John had asked for 2-3 weeks notice so he could schedule the work). I explained that I wouldn't know when I could have the work done until end of August. I contacted John in early September and said I was ready to have the work scheduled. John said he could schedule the work for either 9/11 or 9/12 (weather permitting) but would let me know on 9/10. He called me as promised and said he would arrive with his crew at 7am on 9/11. He was right on time. He & his crew went to work promptly. Tarps were spread out around my house to protect shrubs and catch any debris coming off the roof. After discussing with me, he was able to move his trailer (to load up old shingles) close to my house. Work was completed by about 3pm including the clean up of all debris and magnetic scanning for any nails in the yard. I was very pleased by the workmanship and overall performance by John and his crew. I highly recommend John Shinn Roofing. Note: I noticed that the address shown here for J.M.

It went very well. The house was built in 1952 and the owner did his own roofing. There were problems the house was settling John Shinn was very honest and pointed the problems he found. We saw and agreed. He corrected the problems and we feel secure, that we will not have any future problem with our new roof. He and his men did an excellent job.

John came to our home and reviewed our roof. He was prompt, professional & courteous. He gave us a fair estimate very quickly. He did not pressure us to replace our roof immediately. We will be using his company to replace our roof when the time comes. We will give a follow up review at that time.

I called John Shinn's office on Thursday morning and explained what I needed done. They told me that someone would get back to me as soon as they could. Within 2 hrs. of my initial call, they had their man Willis call and tell me he would be out within an hour to look at the job. Not only did he look at the job, he fixed it the same day. He was so professional, so knowledgeable, and extremely skilled in the work he performed. He did everything he could to make sure we were satisfied with the repairs that were made. We would highly recommend John Shinn and his crew, especially Willis, and look forward to doing further business with him in the future.

John was awesome. He and his wife were very quick to respond, very professional, and VERY helpful. While we didn't wind up (at this point) getting work done on our roof that in itself says something. John was honest about the fact that we didn't actually need to get the roof repair (like our insurance company claimed) and he was willing to talk to them to give his professional opinion if they argued with us (still in process). He got out quick to do the estimate and got back to us quickly. I would have hired him if we had to get the work done!

John Shinn Roofing was one of three quotes we got for roofing. I found John and his wife to be extremely professional and completely honest about what we needed. I never felt pressured to do something extra. John laid it out plainly, explaining why I might want one option versus another. In the end, we selected John based on his honesty and pricing. The quote we got was far and away better than the other two quotes. As to the work performed, my expectations were met and exceeded. John brought in a team of professionals to get the job done quickly and with high quality. They started on a Monday and finished on Wednesday. My property was cleaned of all roofing materials and I barely noticed they were here, except for the beautiful new roof. All in all, John did a great job: price, honesty, and quality. I highly recommend them.

ALL THE WORK WAS PERFORMED IN A HIGH QUALITY MANNER, ON TIME, AND THE COST WAS VERY COMPETITIVE. ART CRABTREE

My experience with John was excellent. They called back immediately. In fact I called on Friday, and by Tuesday they already started the roof. They were very punctual and polite. I had several roof companies quote me and he beat there prices by far. John explained everything that needed to be done, and what was needed. Highly satisfied. I would definitely recommend. Thank you.

Overall, this experience was not a good one. I was promised at least a phone call to see if someone would even be able to help me. However, I never even received that phone call. Very frustrating!

When the shingles came off, the extent of rotted structure was much more than expected and exceeded the original estimate. John worked with me to come to an agreed modified price to correct all that was needed. He and his crew did an amazing amount of work in one full day, thereby saving me tremendously on added costs for an additional day of labor. He and his crew were courteous and professional. They went beyond expectations and made sure that I was satisfied with the end product. I would be happy to recommend Shinn and company.

The overall experience was excellent. They were on time all beat all of their competitor's prices

John come out to our house on a Saturday and spent plenty of time teaching and explaining his service. He is very knowledgable, well spoken, and if you can believe it, passionate about his work. He gave us a verbal quote range while at the house and then e-mailed a firm quote shortly after. The e-mail quote was actually lower than his verbal range and we were very pleased. We had 3 other quotes, and his was in the lower range. We hired him and sent a deposit. We were away when he was supposed to do the work and due to weather restrictions he did not start when expected. A few days after he was supposed to have done the roof we recieved a phone call while on vacation and he apologized, but had noticed that his quote was too low. This was pretty upsetting to us as we thought that the roof was done, the price was set, and we were with our kids in a museum out of state and having this conversation. We really feel like it was an honest mistake and he did accept some of the responsibility in renegotiating the price. The roof and chimney cap are great and we would recommend using him. He cleaned up, he called to check on how we liked it, he sent pictures and helped with finding a gutter specialist. He's a friendly, nice person to do business with.

I got three estimates before selecting a contractor. Two of them were very close, and one was completely out of line (twice the price of the others). I selected JM Shinn based on many positive reviews on Angie's list, and his price was the lowest of the three. The job was done in two days, everything was cleaned up and hauled away. There were no extras or surprises - the price was exactly what he estimated. We're very happy with the work and would definitely hire JM Shinn again.

The lady Cris was very nice, but she was not able to secure an appointment for me because they were backed up. She followed the same day I called.

I originally contacted several contractors from a website other than Angie's list and wasn't very happy with any of them for various reasons. I then subscribed to Angie's list and found three contractors with high ratings. After obtaining estimates from all three, I chose Shinn Roofing based on the ratings and my conversation with Chris, the owner's wife. she's is a great salesperson for the business. All in all, I'm happy with the results and, more importantly, so is my mother.

This was a case of a potential good deal that went sour. John impressed us with his knowledge, integrity, professionalism and commitment to quality from the beginning, and his knowledge, integrity, and commitment to quality is not in question. John aggressively pursued us as a client and committed a date of Jul 25 to doing the roof. John was unable to personally handle the details of permitting, and the date of Jul 25 was not met. Since we are non resident, this required changing dates off and juggling work schedules. An alternate date was selected and after juggling schedules, one of us arrived up in the Poconos only to see that he had major concerns and would not proceed. Another 3 hours wasted for us on travel time. He wanted clarification from the building inspectors on whether to proceed (although our experience is that this is usually handled by the contractor). Another date was scheduled, and weather messed up the schedule. Another date was scheduled and there was a truck breakdown. Meanwhile, we kept juggling work schedules and time off, and were unable to get this scheduled with any leadtime. At the end of the relationship, he dictated terms that were untenable to us, the clients, and we elected to terminate the relationship. We spent almost 2 months juggling work schedules around his schedule. He merely needed to say that the weather messed up his schedule and this could not be done until October and we would have worked with him. Being self employed, we did not have the continued flexibility. The bottom line is that when stressed, he gets a tad emotional, and the end result for us, was no roof. We have had it done by someone else and it is a wonderful experience. His company was just too small for the ability to work a distance away in adverse conditions.

John Shinn performed an estimate of work for a new roof. He returned my call quickly after I made the initial contact. He was punctual to arrive when he came to examine the roof. He was responsive. He answered several of my e-mails to him about the work to be performed, shingles, venting solutions, etc – he seems to really know his stuff. He provided me with a written estimate which I felt was reasonable. He is fully insured. Ultimately, I did not hire him because of my request for an exact product to be installed. But, it was really a toss-up between 2 roofers in my area (based on Angie’s List recommendations). Maybe, I will regret my decision to have hired someone else. Only time will tell.

Good experience. Crew is knowledgeable and eager. Workmanship is excellent. Price well within expected range.

The service was great. I would use their service in the future.

They got the details right. It looks good, and professional. They were also very polite. It rained for a week from the time they started until they were finished. They were persistent in getting the job done. I would use them again.

They were very fair and honest. Another company told us that we had to replace the entire roof.

my home is a 2300sq ft ranch, and only 14 years old. and the entire roof failed.we contacted the the manufacture and they would only allow 2/400$ based on a prorated warranty.the shingles were 25 yr warranty. they would not admit that there product failed premuturly. jm.shinn roofing was the only one that stated they had failed prematurely.when he inspected the roof he said you need a lawyer not a roofer.well I cant afford to fight a big roofing co like IKO ,so after 4 more estimates we chose jm.shinn to do the job. The contract was for approx 28 sq of shingles,6' of ice shield for entire roof and all vent pipes and the sky lite,replace the drip edging,install tow power vents,new flashing at all vents and the sky lite.remove all debris from the job site scan entire perimeter with magnet to remove all nails etc. he said they would be there the following week at 7:30am. and that is when he and his crew showed up. and completed the entire job by 5:00 pm.when they left the only thing they left me with was a new roof. they know how to satisfy a customer right down to cleaning up after themselves.
