Do not ever use this firm. They are rip off artists. I found their advertisement in a local mailing. The gentlemen who arrived were not only unprofessional but I think they intentionally quoted bad pricing for the repair of my chimney. The amount quoted was double that of other contractors and I believe they were trying to take advantage of my gender. I also asked for the information in writing and the office assured me it would be sent out that very day and it was never received. A new chimney verbal quote was $7,000, other repairs could be made for $5,000 and $2,500 and if I put the full amount on my credit card that day I would get a 10% discount.. Put same on a credit card without a written quote, seriously NOT - NO!!! do not utilize them. If you see this company, run the other way. My insurance adjustor came out the very next day and advised me that the verbal new chimney quote was way too exhorbant for what needed to be done. wa
Description of Work: Nothing as the cost was prohibitive and twice the normal cost.

On the positive side, Jim was very quick to respond to my voicemail. I left him a voicemail on a Friday afternoon and he called me that evening and said he could go look at the rental property roof on Sunday. He said there was no need for me to meet him at the property, but I said I wanted to meet him and review the issues. He said he would call me Sunday to confirm the time, but thought early afternoon. I asked him to give me a call when he was like 20-30 min away so I could get over there and meet him. We had a miscommunication, because he called me from the property and said "are you here?" He told me not to bother coming out, he would just look at the work and do the estimate. That was the last I heard from him. I didn't receive an estimate or a phone call so I'm not sure what happened. I had already scheduled another roofer for a 2nd estimate the following day and I ended up going with him.
Description of Work: I contacted Jim from Able Roofing to do an estimate for a leaky roof on a rental property.

Overall very happy with work completed. Jim came to my house on a Saturday morning to do the small patch job on roof & gutter replacement / change of direction to stop water from running right on to area that needed to be patched. Jim is a very knowledgeable contractor that explained exactly what needed to be done and why. His price was great compared to other similiar estimates and he was punctual for the appoitment. Work was all done outside so there was not real clean-up, but everything looked good after he left. The job may have taken him and hour at most so he was in & out with no issues. Only small issues was response time, but Jim had explained to me the sitituation & it was understandable. Again, we were very pleased with the work Jim did, & we would use him again.

Ultimately, there was no work scheduled.
Description of Work: During super storm Sandy we noticed a leak in our front downstairs room. We initially thought the problem stemmed from our exterior chimney, but the mason who came out stated it was our roof so we called a few roofing contractors. Jim returned our call for an estimate within a couple of days then scheduled a time to come out that worked with our schedule. He arrived early and was very polite and courteous. Jim was extremely knowledgable and explained all of the possibilities of what might be causing our problem as well as the potential solutions. In the end, Jim advised we did not need any roofing or siding work. He pointed out an area below one of our upstairs windows that was in desparate need of caulking and the most likely culprit for our leak. My husband and I were both so impressed with Jim's professional demeanor and knowledge. If we ever do need roofing or siding work done we will definitely call Jim again!

I asked for them to take their time. (Yes, I know most people are in a rush to get it done and have the disruption over.) I wanted a really good job to replace a roof that had not been done well about 20 years ago.) We discussed and decided on various options before starting, including possible more limited work to replace only certain roofs, whether I wanted to replace gutters, downspouts, etc. The work to be done was explained in detail, with places where I could offer opinions, changes, etc. The estimate was clear and detailed. The estimate clarified the options, possible extra costs (e.g. replacing damaged wood sheathing beneath the shingles.) I received a detailed copy of the signed agreement. Everything was done as planned. I did later opt for a different more elaborate gutter system, which had been discussed but about which I was uncertain. This did add to the cost for a replacement of the old gutter system. However, my experience in heavy rains since then shows these larger gutters, which require heavy brackets, works very well. I believe the price was very good for the size of the main roof, the additional garage and porch roofs, the amount of work done, products, and quality. I have checked out the way the new roof and gutters are working. The enhanced protection along the sides of the chimneys is just great. The downspouts, especially with redesigned emptying from the upper roof is working very well, a big and noticeable improvement. Now for the bonus: MY CELLAR IS DRY today after 3 or 4 days of rain from Hurricane Sandra. The people who lived here before me said "this will always be a very damp cellar." (They had a dehumidifier.) It used to be very damp. I have already recommended ABLE ROOFING to a friend, who, like me, is also very pleased. I highly recommend them.
Description of Work: Removed existing roofing materials down to roof sheathing. Replaced some damaged wood. Ice shield installed to gutter eves and valleys with roof felt . Installed roof metal edging to new roof edges. Entire Roof replaced, including house, garage, 3 hot rubber porch roofs. All gutters replaced with (upgraded) 6 inch K type gutters. All downspouts replaced. One downspout re-channeled. Metal edging on new roof edges. Roof is 30 year fiberglass GAG Timberline dimensional shingle to sloped roof and dormer sidewalls. Installed new roof vent collars with new chimney aluminum counter flashing (where needed). Installed a new continuous roof ridge venting system t new shingled roof ridge areas.

I called Jim when I noticed the shingles in my yard. He came over the next day looked at the roof, told me what he needed to do and gave me an estimate. He came th following day, did the work and charged me the estimated amount. On the bill he stated that there was no underlying damage to the roof. This company believes in customer service and I will use them again if nececssary . This is my second experience with Able Roofing and should I ever need a roofer again this is the company I will call.

Jim and the Able roofing crew were a pleasure to work with. The crew showed up on time every day, performed a complete roof tear-off and replacement in 5 consecutive days. The quality of this installation was second to none. Great attention to detail and craftsmanship. Able roofing also performed a few "extras", such as replacing some hard to access outdoor light bulbs. I shopped around for roofers for about 2 years before finally making the commitment to a new roof. Able provided superior workmanship at a competitive price. I have no regrets whatsoever about selecting Able Roofing and I would highly recommend this company.

Able roofing provided a professional, quality job at a reasonable price. Jim (the owner) was very responsive from my initial call for an estimate to completion of the job. Jim and his crew provided lots of "extras", including gutter cleaning and a small siding repair, to ensure that the job was done right and looked professional. I received several estimates before selecting this company. Many companies wanted to simply do a "patch job" on the roof, and install skylights. For the same money, Able roofing gave me new Veluyx skylights, a new roof, and a 5 year warranty. Be extra careful when selecting roofers. There are lots of people trying to cut corners out there. I highly recommend this company.

They came quite quickly because we had a leak in the roof. He was one of the few that didn’t want to do the entire thing. He just wanted to get a part of it done. They were very efficient and quick. They were very nice. They were quiet. They were in and out very quickly. They seem to be reasonably priced and I didn’t actually pay anything extra. I just paid the estimated amount. They guys were very clean and they cleaned up and took some extra stuff away for me. It’s hard to get rid of the trash these days. I didn’t have any complaints at all. The quality is good. I didn’t even fetch the windows, he fetched it out for me and they are quite fine. He was going to give me some sort of tax rebate as well. He was punctual. He came when he said he would, in fact early. I was not here. He was quite accommodating. He used to come in after work and during the weekends. He’s not in our local area and everything worked out fine enough. I would definitely use them again in the future. I don’t have a lot of time to do the research. Angie’s List is very efficient and helped me a lot to find somebody because I’ve made a lot of mistakes in the past.

The owner was prompt with his estimate and very agreeable about answering my follow-up questions. The rainy weather played havoc with plans, but what impressed me a great deal was that the owner preferred to wait a number of days until the threat of rain was over rather than rush the job. I appreciate that very much. It's definitely a sign of someone who feels that doing a good, quality job is more important than packing in a lot of jobs in as little time as possible. The crew was very polite, accommodating, and generally cleaned up well. Able Roofing is a quality business with a level of integrity that isn't always evident in other roofing companies. I'm satisfied with the work and would definitely recommend them to others.
Description of Work: Replaced roof and installed post to correct sagging entrance overhang. Roof replacement included several other standard procedures: applying ice shield to all gutter eves, and installing aluminum drip metal edging to new roof edges, new vent collars and counter chimney flashing, and new power fan (opted for this instead of convection fan). We considered adding insulation in the attic but Able Roofing felt it wasn't necessary. The only minor quibble I have is that I've since decided to better insulate, something I wish had been done at the time the roof work was underway.
