Description of Work: They reroofed a small section of my roof. The roof later leaked in the area; but Mr. Newhouse explained that the leak was caused by an adjacent section of roof where tree debris had gathered. His team remedied that problem; and I haven't had any further leaks. They also cleaned out my gutter gratis, a very nice bonus. Note: I had to call more than once to get a reply to the leak; but Mr. Newhouse said that he'd been having phone problems. He was apologetic and responsive when we finally connected. Overall, Mr. Newhouse was the most professional contractor with whom I've done business. |

Description of Work: Over a period of several houes, Newhouse Contracting removed the old, deteriorated flat roofing from a porch roof, replaced the plywood with OSB, added fiberboard on top of that, then glued one complete sheet of .06 rubber, tucking and securing it under the second row of shingles of a regular adjoining roof on one side and under siding on another side and finally on another side secured it in the longer gutter with the gutter hangers. The employee crew of 3 (no subs) finished up what the owner/worker started with them. They were courteous and helpfully answered questions. The owner came back the next day and nicely covered with moldà ble rubber two small wood exposed areas at transition points before collecting the balance due. Did exactly what he said he would and did it well. ("B" for professionalism only due to the employees being on their cell phones beyond what appeared necessary.). Owner responsive to my various questions during decision stage. Thankfully made clear the earliest I could expect him on the calendar due to numerous, previously booked jobs.

Contractor never showed up for the appointment. I came home early from work, had my pay docked because of it, and he never showed up. He never even called to reschedule or to explain his absence. I am most upset because I lost pay at work. I will never recommend this company to anyone.
Description of Work: Scheduled an appointment for an estimate on a roof and/or chimney repair. UPDATE: Contractor did call and apologize for missing the appointment. Offered to remedy the situation by scheduling another appointment. I declined, however.

Response from NEWHOUSE CONTRACTING
I would like to apologize for missing this appointment. I had a death in the family and in rushing out of town I failed to take the necessary contact information as it was completely unexpected. Upon my return this morning I called and left an apology on her machine and asked to reschedule. I saw her post this afternoon prompting my reply. Under her circumstances I completely understand why she is upset. I only hope she gives me the chance to make it up to her. Again, I apologize.

Charles Newhouse of Newhouse Contracting called us back the same day. He was able to meet with us to see what needed done and gave us a written estimate and timeline for our repairs. We were pleased both with the cost and the Mr. Newhouse's knowledge and understanding of what needed to be done. When the day of the repair came, he and his crew were on time, they were very professional, and the repairs were done in one day. They were respectful of our property and the job site was clean and our soffit and fascia and new gutters look great! He also clearly explained everything that was done. We are very pleased with Newhouse Contracting and would not hesitate to call on them again.
Description of Work: We needed repair to our soffit and fascia on our two story home. We had a new roof and new soffit and facia done less than three years ago and the soffit and fascia started to fall off during the first windy storm. We discovered that the soffit had been placed over wood that was rotten and they had used four nails in a 22 foot span. Because of our bad experience we were wary of hiring another contractor to replace the bad wood, fix the soffit and fascia and add new gutters. That's when we decided to try Angie's List.

The owner, Chuck, has now been out to see us twice. He arrived promptly both times and worked my problem instead of me! After interview several companies it became clear to me that finding the right guy for the job is not necessarily an easy task, even with Angie's List. This company was recommended by a friend and a search of Angie's list did not yield many reviews. His estimate was right in the middle price point of everyone else and as I mentioned before, he worked my problem. He is going to remove the existing shingles, replace the bottom plywood, install new OSB 7/16 over top my existing 3/8 plywood to make it sturdier, install new gutter apron and drip edge, replace crumbling chimney cap, install new gutters and downspouts, lay new Certainteed shingles, new ridge vent, and R-19 insulation in my entire attic space. My house is a split level entry and does not have much insulation at present (about 6" of loose fill type). He recommended not going overboard with insulation due to the fact that too much could cause more problems in the long run. I need storage space in the attic and laying r-19 rolls in the attic seemed a good compromise. Additionally, my attic needs proper ventilation. He is going to clean my soffit overhang and if necessary cut open the vents as needed if they aren't open already. I have significant ice damning in the rear and this along with proper installation of a gutter apron and ice guard should solve the problems by reducing the ice damning and providing a proper water barrier. As I said, I have gone through many estimates and schemes to address my problem. This company was the only one that tried to work my problem with me instead of trying to either sell me bill of goods or ignore me and my concerns altogether. It is amazing how many of these companies will not listen to your concerns! My install is to commence early April and I will update when it is completed. ----------------------------------------------- 4/24/2013 My new roof is now complete and Newhouse Contracting did a superb job. Chuck and his crew did a professional and superb job with my roof. They took the time to do it right and cleaned up well afterwards. They used a barrier to catch as much of the old roof as possible which helped keep nails and debris out of my yard. I am thoroughly impressed. Again to remind you, they laid new insulation in the attic, poured new chimney cap, removed old roof, repaired water damaged plywood, laid over one side of roof with new sheets of plywood, installed new Certainteed Shingle roof with ice barrier and 30 lb. felt paper, Installed ridge vent, installed drip edge, installed gutter apron, installed new gutters and downspouts, installed new facia board, opened up completely closed soffit vents in front of house by cutting new holes and removing insulation above it. This all was done for $9720. The original estimate was $9000 and the increase was due to new materials to install new facia and cut open airways in soffit area. This was unforeseen at the time of original estimate. Chuck was honest and very personable. I already have him coming back to do new shutters on the front of my house. A++ work!

They came out for an esitamte and actually climbed up on the roof to inspect the problem. He took pictures and showed me what was wrong and gave me a complete estimate for the work needed. The cost was reasonable and he came out promptly to complete the work which included removing a gutter, installing flashing that was missing, correctly reinstalling the gutter and then he patched several small nail holes in the roof. I also asked him to seal a number of flashing holes that hornets were entering and he did so at no additional cost. We had another company come oput for an estimate and that person didn't even come with a ladder to inspect the problem. That person's estimate was much higher. I will use this company for all future roof repair and I highly recommned their services.
Description of Work: Called for estimate to fix roof and gutter problem. Very professional, prompt and reasonable. They were very thorough and made sevral other minor repairs at no cost per their recomendation. I would use them again and I highly recommned their services.
