Johnson Roofing & Home Improvements

unknown

This was the 2nd time we used his services. He and his workers were professional, courteous and did a great job. His prices were better than all other estimates and he stayed true to his original price. There were no hidden costs.

While I contacted three roofers, at a time when they were in short supply, Keith Johnson and Jim Trinkley were the two who provided needed responses. A third Stay Dry or something like that kept trying to hold us off and frankly was rude. Trinkley who has done work for us in the past was able to do the emergency repair but was too booked to take on the replacement job...but was honest enough to say so up front. I like local contractors and found Johnson in the local weekly paper. He responded, we visited another job site to see the quality of his work and after getting a quite reasonable estimate gave him the job. His crew worked from first light until dark for two full days and then finished up on the morning of day 3. We were quite satisfied with the installation. There was one and quot;blipand quot; in our dealings with Mr. Johnson. We had one loose shingle atop the garage and some flashing that needed a minor repair but over a month's worth of calls and emails went unreturned. In the end, it turned out he was out of the area dealing with a family emergency and when he returned resolved the problem to our satisfaction.

My roof started to leak again (I live in a windy area and constantly lose shingles) in an area where another roofer repaired a joint between a valley and shingles. I also had a portion of rubber roofing in an area with very little pitch that was also leaking. So since my roof was closing in on twenty years old I decided to get some estimates. I called three local roofing companies and only two of the three showed up to give me an estimate. I got written estimates from both of them within a week. One had done repairs for me before but I always seemed to have to call him back to repair the same areas over again. So I decided to go with Johnson. I called him and told him I wanted to hire him and he put me on the schedule which meant that I had to wait about 3 weeks until they would do the roof. Keith Johnson the owner offered to do any repairs needed to the roof to prevent damage but I told him it would be OK as is. He called me the following week and gave me a start date of July 26th but called back on the 25th saying it would be the 27th. They came on the 27th and started stripping the roof and laying the new tar paper and ice and water dam so we would be watertight in case it rained (it did rain and we were watertight). After two days of stripping and laying new paper they started shingling and completed the whole roof except for the area where the rubber was in two days and asked to come back on Saturday to finish that but I was having a party on Friday night and a picnic on Saturday so they hauled away the container that they were putting the debris in and brought it back Monday to finish with the copper roof replacement for the rubber area. They are a small company that does not have a big crew but did a great job with everything including the copper. They worked from 7 in the morning until usually 6 or 7 at night everyday. They cleaned up throughout the day so I didn't have to worry about nails. I would recommend them as a quality roofing company.
