gutter repair
  + -1 more
They were very professioanl. The guys who did the work were Stacey and Gary. They were also very polite, and talked to me about what was happening and why this was doing this. Another roofing company had already worked on the gutter twice and it did not get fixed, and this time, Russel Roofing fixed it and figured it out. I think they were able to figure this out, at least in part because they were willing to talk to me. I also believe that this was not subcontracted, and Stacey and Gary were on the same pay roll as the men who did the original estimate. I'm now talking to them to give me an estimate for the entire roof, and shingles. I would like to use them again.
Description of Work: My gutter was spewing water out of the front corner of the gutter. What I needed was for the water to not be spewing out the corner, but to be going in the opposite direction and down the spouting. They took a piece out and looked at the whole thing, and realized that it needed a piece at the end where the water was spewing out to push the water back and down the drain. They took it apart and added the piece and put it back together and it is fine, it does what it is supposed to do.

Thanks for your review. Gutters, like plumbing systems, need to have the proper pitch so the water will flow in the right direction. Many gutter installers will not provide this pitch because they don't care, don't know, or they are concerned with cosmetics. Thanks for putting your trust in Russell Roofing and we look forward to your roofing project. Remember, "If It's Russell, It's Right, Guaranteed!"

Russell Roofing was one of three companies I contacted to give me an estimate for a gutter replacement. They had come in highly recommended both by Angie's List and by a friend, so I was pleased when their estimate for a copper gutter replacement was only slightly higher than another estimate for a rubber-lined gutter, and I accepted and signed a contract with Russell Roofing. But two weeks later, I got a call from one of the managers at Russell Roofing saying that they had mis-estimated the cost of the copper and therefore would not be able to perform the work for the price they had quoted, and offered either to do the work for a 50% higher cost or to return my deposit check. After fuming about this overnight and wondering what part of "contract" they didn't understand (after all, if I had cancelled, the contract said they would keep my $4000 deposit), I accepted the deposit back and hired another company instead.

Response from Russell Roofing Company Inc
Our estimator made an error in the calculation of the gutter size and unit of measure. We showed the customer where the error was and gave them the option of cancelling the job with a full refund or doing the proposed job at the correct price. Fortunately, this type of an error happens in far less than one percent of our estimates. Even when it does happen, most of the time, we will follow through with the agreement. There are rare exceptions when we have no choice but to go back to the customer and give them options on how to proceed. Of course, one of those options is always a full refund and a cancelled agreement. We could have done their "rubber liner" option if we were told that was what the competition was proposing but that is a much shorter term solution. At any rate, this was an estimator error that was reviewed at our management and owner level to try and make right with our customer.

Excellent service and job on a difficult roof. The roof is a clay tile roof approximately 75 years old. A huge oak branch fell and settled on the roof causing tile and roof damage. From the initial estimate through the final job wrap, Russell Roofing was attentive, clear and professional both dealing with me and insurance concerns. The workmen were professional and true craftsman. A great job!

Thanks for your review. We deal with a lot of insurance claims. Some insurance companies are better than others in handling claims. When we propose a repair, we want to be able to make your roof look like it did before the damage. This approach can be a challenge with some insurance companies looking for the cheapest fix. Remember that the insurance company adjuster is looking to hand out the least amount of money to protect the company and may not be looking out for your best interest. We just want to do it right. That's why we say, "If It's Russell, It's Right, Guaranteed!"

Thanks for your review. We did a repair to a cedar roof for this customer. Cedar roofs can be difficult to repair. They can be dangerous for safety reasons and working on cedar to attempt a repair could cause more issues. Fortunately, we were able to do this type of repair and build a long lasting relationship with a new customer. Thanks again.

I found Russell on the internet. I live in Medford, NJ outside Russell's "normal" service area, but I knew they serviced Princeton and Haddonfield, so I thought they might be open to coming to me. I called their very friendly live person receptionist and gave my information. I received a call the next day from Dan.Dan set up an appointment to come to my home. He arrived as scheduled. He took photos of the roof, listened to my description of various structural issues and I had a rough estimate before he left. I had a written offer the next day. I signed the agreement and send a deposit the day after. I am so pleased they accepted my job. Getting someone to work on a flat roof is extremely difficult in rural NJ. in December 4 roofers came; 1 stayed in December--they left the job with a punch list--there are still ongoing problems with the December roofer. The Angie's rating really, was all I needed to agree to sign the contract knowing Russell was going to work out.
Description of Work: Russell is excellent. They replaced 1 of 4 roof areas on my home. Each roof has it's own history and issues. This particular roof is flat. Many areas of rot were visible. Because of the visible rot , we expected to discover hidden rot and knew there would be additional costs beyond the signed estimate. We would only know the extent of additional costs once work began. The additional cost was 15% of the estimate. AND, all of the material we needed was brought on-site the same day they started. I was really expecting a 15% increase. Russell's finishing work was excellent--there is no punch list. The quality of their workmanship is first class. Also, their treatment of the work area--which is over my kitchen and is surrounded by a deck--was impeccable. They cleaned up several times during the day. Finally, they did not ask for check on the last day. I will get a final invoice tomorrow and I will mail them a check. A Class Act in addition to a quality craftsmanship.

As you would expect, flat roofs can be much more difficult to install and keep watertight. Did you know that some flat roofing materials require a flame torch to install? Every year the Philadelphia area has a couple of house fires that were started by roofers using torches! Our installers are torch certified, we have torch insurance (most roofers don't), and we exceed OSHA regulations for fire safety. That's why you can trust, "If It's Russell, It's Right, Guaranteed!"

I called Russell roofing to come out to inspect our slate roof to get an estimate on repairs.They had several convenient appointment times available. Dan came out on time and inspected our roof. I found him to be friendly, knowledgeable and professional. He took the time to explain to me everything that needed to be done and the reasons for it. The price he quoted was very fair and I feel overall very satisfied.They've scheduled a time to come back out and complete the repairs. I'll write a follow up review once that work is completed. I just wanted to share what has been, so far, a very good experience with Russell Roofing.

Thanks for your review. Sometimes we are able to predict when we are going to come across rotted wood before we start the project. Other times we are not able to identify the rotted wood until the roof is open. As a homeowner, it is a good idea to have a price for damaged wood in the contract that states the price per man hour and the material price so you are protected. At Russell Roofing, all of our contracts have this wording. There are many roofers out there that come in with a low proposal price to win your business, then they hit you with a large rotted wood change order in the middle of the job and you are stuck paying it. That's why we say, "If It's Russell, It's Right, Guaranteed!"

Thanks for your review. We believe exactly what you said. In our trade, there is a race to the bottom. Contractors think they have to be the lowest price to win the job; then they cut corners to try and make the job fit their price. At Russell Roofing, we want to offer the best quality workmanship at the best price we can without cutting corners. Many of the corners that contractors cut are the things you don't see like, insurance, training, background checking their employees, warranties, and quality installations. Our company is set up to protect our customers the best way that we can. That's why we say, "If It's Russell, It's Right, Guaranteed!"

If you want to sleep soundly in a house without leaks, do what I did, call Russell Roofing. For two years I struggled with roofing problems. Some parts of my roof are flat, while others are slanted, so there were several issues with pooling of water, seams, downspouts, etc. During those two years, I worked with two roofing companies, neither of which took the time to understand what needed to be done, and they did expensive, sloppy and ineffective repairs. I found Russell Roofing through references from friends and Angie’s list. Three companies, including Russell bid on the project. What impressed me about Russell was the professionalism of their project manager, Sandy Pickard, his representation of how they would approach the project, and the thoroughness with which they diagnosed the problems. The price quoted seemed to fit the problems and my desire for a quality job that would fix my roof and provide a lasting solution. Everything Sandy said they would do was done, and done right. When they found unexpected problems with some of the wood on the roof and adjoining walls under the old roofing materials, they had carpenters who did the repairs correctly. Some stucco work also needed to be done and Sandy Pickard coordinated to get this work done as well. I was impressed by both the carpenters and the masons. The extra work was done for a reasonable budget. Overall, Russell Roofing, Sandy Pickard, my project manager, and Jeff, the crew leader, lived up to their sterling reputation. The workmen were polite, professional and thorough. I give Russell an A+. No other roofing company will ever touch my house.
Description of Work: I had leaks in several parts of my roof, which had not been fixed by two previous roofing companies. Russell fixed the roof, including carpentry and masonry work based on problems foudn when teh old roofing materials were removed.

Our estimator had an idea that we would find some damaged wood but after opening this customer’s roof, we found major structural issues and framing that needed to be replaced. The magnitude of this damage is a rare occurrence but at Russell Roofing we were able to bring in our own carpentry crew and coordinate a masonry crew to do the stucco work. The job continued and the customer was brought up to speed with our daily communication of the job’s progress. Now that you are a customer, we want to inspect your roof on an annual basis, free of charge, to make sure you get the best value from your investment. We will stand behind our work because, "If It's Russell, It's Right, Guaranteed!"

While looking for a new roof, flashings, gutters, and 30+ new windows for a large remodel house, I found Russell Roofing on Angie's List and based on their ratings, I contacted them to come out and take a look. Their receptionist, Brooke Brooks, emailed me back a cold and 1 line email, to tell me that they would not come out for a free quote and wanted $200 to take a look. I emailed back that for a job this size and if they were reputable, this was not an acceptable practice and sent a very wrong message to a person looking for honest people to do business with. I then asked Brooke to get with her manager to see if that was the official approach before submitting this write up and she came back with a cold email to say that's the policy. It is very surprising that companies like this with an A rating could think so little of Angie's List customers. Clearly if I am paying for a service to find contractors/service providers, I am serious and looking for a company with an outstanding reputation. This was extremely disappointing and thus I would NOT recommend using this company.

This Angie's List subscriber is under contract to purchase a home. Several years ago we implemented a policy to charge a fee for estimates when the home is under agreement. The reason for this is we have found the vast majority of our estimates did not end up in contracted work. The home buyer uses our top quality proposal for negotiations and then hires a cheap contractor so they can pocket the difference. We communicate this fee before the appointment is scheduled so there are clear expectations on both sides. We had several home buyers set appointments with us this week. They clearly understood the fee schedule and agreed that it was fair. Our estimators will spend an average of two or more hours to prepare a proposal for a house transaction that may never go through. This is the reason for a per man hour fee for our service during a home transaction. We have included the email conversation between our company and the Angie's List subscriber below for your review so you can determine our level of "professionalism" and "honesty". Russell Roofing reply to original request: I received your email from last night that you are interested in getting an estimate. Because the house is on the market, we charge $190 for a minimum of 2hrs to come out and do an estimate. This is company policy. Prospective customer reply: No thank you. The house is already under contract so it's no longer on the market. I'll get other companies who don't charge to come out. This is poor business practice and you're loosing the opportunity for a 5000 sq ft house roof and solar panel opportunity. You'll be getting a negative review from me on Angie's List tomorrow. Let me know if you or your manager wish to change your stance before then. Russell Roofing Reply: This is company policy. Sorry you feel this way.

We were impressed from start to finish. Dan was friendly and very professional. He thoroughly explained the scope of the work and addressed all of our questions and concerns. Russell roofing did a top notch job on our roof replacement, in a timely, and courteous manner. They even followed up with a phone call AFTER installation to make sure the work was done to our liking. We were very pleased with their customer service. They are not cheap, but you certainly get what you pay for! I would not hesitate to hire this company.

It went wonderful. Contractor Sandy Pickard came to my house on a Saturday to assess my roof and give me an estimate. He was very detailed and explained everything that would be done and how much it would cost. He was honest and straight with his estimate. Because I had an active leak, he was able to get a crew to my house within a couple days to temporarily fix the leak until the roof could be replaced.The crew that replaced my roof did a great job. They used high definition shingles (at no additional cost) to appease my home owners association. The job was done in just a day and a half, and that was because they had to replace some plywood. All members of the crew were friendly and answered any questions I had. I recommend Russell for any roofing job. They perform high quality work in a timely fashion.
Description of Work: I hired Russell Roofing to repair a roof leak temporarily and to replace the roof after proper permits and approvals were acquired. They also made some adjustments to my gutters. Aside from the work itself, contractor Sandy Pickard took care of the paperwork and phone calls, including permits from the township and approval from my home owners association.

Unfortunately, we initially hired another roofer to replace our roof because of leaking problems. That roofer's work was substandard, thus creating much worse problems than before. Then he completely disregarded our requests for help. We had no other option but to employ another roofer to replace the faulty work. Russell Roofing (Joe Hughes, the project manager and Gregg Grosso, foreman) came to our rescue. They provided excellent service, were responsive, knowledgeable and thorough--and they offer a life-time guarantee on the work. All the previous leaking problems have been resolved. The roofers were skilled, polite and tidied up each day. We weren't pleased to have to pay for two roof replacements in one year, but we are grateful that Russell Roofing did such an excellent job and continue to be available if ever needed.
Description of Work: Russell Roofing installed a new roof after another roofer botched the job less than a year before. They provided a complete assessment of the roof condition, skillfully installed a complete new roof and returned right away as needed to make improvements in the flashing, etc.

Thanks for your review. You now have a lifetime warranty that covers the materials and labor to replace the materials. Most importantly, you now have a 50 year workmanship warranty that covers the installation of the roof! That means if you have any issues with your roof for the next 50 years, whether it is an installation issue or a material defect, you don’t pull out your checkbook! This is a warranty coming from the shingle manufacturer. You don't want a warranty from a roofer. That way if you don't like the roofer, they go out of business, or they are not responsive, you still have a full warranty from the shingle manufacturer. Don’t forget that this warranty is transferable when you go to sell the house. Thanks for putting your trust in Russell Roofing and remember, "If It's Russell, It's Right, Guaranteed!"

Response from Russell Roofing Company Inc
Thanks for your review. For those of you that have experienced leaks around chimneys, sometimes a leak can appear to be a roof leak when it is actually a masonry issue. There are some ways that you can diagnose what the issue may be: Does the leak appear during a long, soaking, wind driven, rain? This is typically a masonry issue. The chimney masonry gets saturated and works its way into the living space. Does the leak happen during melting ice or snow? This is usually a roof issue because the ice and snow sitting on the roof isolates the chimney area (no ice and snow on the chimney). Does the leak appear when there is a short heavy rain? This is usually a roofing issue. The masonry does not have time to get saturated and make its way into the living space. Does the leak happen when it is extremely cold outside? This issue is becoming more common. On older homes, heating contractors are supposed to line the chimney with a flue liner when they replace the furnace if it vents through the chimney. With today’s more efficient furnaces, the flue gases are not as hot and condensation can form as the gases go up a cold, unlined, chimney flue. This can cause severe condensation issues that work from the inside of the chimney out to the living area. Please let us know if we can make anything else right because, “If It’s Russell, It’s Right, Guaranteed!”

A pleasant young man came to give the quote and since other homeowners in our neighborhood have started replacing roofs I figured I might as well get a roof quote so I would have some idea of the cost even though I was not going to do the roof until a later date. He offered to take down an old satellite disk from the chimney left over from the prior owner. That was nice, I appreciated it. The skylight install was basically a non-event. They showed up and got the job done with no problems or issues. I don't recall the exact date but its been around two years since the work was done and it was definitely worth it. The new skylight does indeed save energy and the room does not get super hot any more. Of course I researched the skylight vendors on the Internet and that is how I found out about Russell Roofing which I also checked out on the Internet, mostly Google search results. At the time I was not aware of AngiesList but now I use it when checking out contractors.
Description of Work: House built in 1987, two story colonial with large skylight in master bathroom. Decided to replace it with a newer one for energy savings since facing the sun in the summer it would really heat up the room. Also, there had been some leak at the upper corner.

Today's energy efficient skylights give off less heat than a fluorescent light fixture so even if your skylight does not leak yet, you may want to consider replacing it to save money on air conditioning bills. Thank you for your review. Please let us know when you decide to replace your roof so we can give you a proposal.

I hired Russell Roofing to replace the flashing around one of the dormers on my slate roof and replace a downspout. Russell Roofing prides itself on the quality of the work. From an amateur's perspective they do appear to do good work and we haven't had a problem with any of the projects that they have completed. On the other hand, it's not easy to schedule them for a job. It took more than one month for them to come out and start the job, even though I was an existing customer. Their prices are on the high end, but in the end I think you get what you pay for. I would consider Russell Roofing for future jobs, but I would also get a second opinion due to their prices.

When looking for a roofing company, many people base their decision on price. The Better Business Bureau reports that 86 percent of their complaints come from people that choose the lowest price to hire their contractor. Another red flag for consumers is hiring a contractor that can do the job tomorrow. A good contractor will have a backlog of work. We always have 24 hour emergency service crews available if the job needs to be done right away or you want the roof watertight after a storm. You can call our hotline at anytime, 24 hours a day / seven days a week. Our prices are based on sound principles. We look at our job costing reports on a weekly basis to see how we are doing on pricing. We make adjustments as needed (up or down). There are many hidden costs to run a good roofing company. In our trade, there is a race to the bottom. "Fly by night" roofers that think they can get a job by being the lowest price. Then, they get the job and have to cut corners to make the price work. We don't want to waste your time or your money. We know we are not going to be the cheapest but we want to offer the best long term solution at the best price we can. This customer has an approximately 80 year old slate roof that requires routine maintenance. We have done four jobs for this customer and the roof will need several more repairs over the next 15-30 years until it is replaced. Thanks for choosing Russell Roofing the four times in the past and we hope to continue our relationship in the future.

All work was done professionally and courteously. I was so pleased with the work that they did in 2010 on one part of my roof that I called them back in 2012 to replace a different section of the roof. I no longer worry when it rains. I trust the job Russell Roofing has done. They don't cut corners in the work that they do.
Description of Work: Our 90 year-old stone house has a slate roof with dormers and valley. We have used another roofer to address occasional leaks, but soon became fed up with the patchwork approach. We wanted a solution that we could trust and that would last a long time. Therefore, we went with Russell Roofing. They have an excellent reputation for the work they do on older homes with complicated roofs. In 2010 they replaced a the roofing on three dormers and in 2012 they replaced a major section of the slate roof with good looking asphalt shingles. For both jobs they finished the edges with aluminum and the valleys with copper. They also replaced the flat dormer roofs wit GAF three-ply flat sheeting.

Thanks for your repeat business and trust in our company. That is a word not heard much anymore in the roofing trade, "TRUST". Most of our work comes from happy cutomers that refer us and repeat business from our current customers. We do very little advertising. We want to provide excellent customer service and excellent work. People can always find a roofer to cut corners, most of them do! Thanks again for your trust in our company. Give us a call when you want something else done right, because "If it's Russell, It's Right, Guaranteed!"

The project manager visited us to look at the area needing repair/rebuilding and to discuss options. Once we decided, they set a date a month or so in the future when work would begin. The workmen arrived on schedule and did the work, but several things were not satisfactory. We brought these to the attention of the project manager, and the following week the workmen returned and fixed all the problem areas.
Description of Work: We have a deck built over a family room. Water was leaking into the family room. Russell Roofing removed the old deck and roof, and installed a new roof and deck with a watertight seal.

The mark of a good contractor is what they do with customer concerns. There were a few punch list things that we needed to take care of. We took care of those things before the customer’s party so they could show off their new deck and railing system. We did not ask for a final payment until the customer was satisfied. It turned out beautiful! Thanks for the opportunity!

Almost very leaking skylight call that we go to, is leaking because of the poor installation from the contractor. We are a certified VELUX Five Star skylight installer and we install around 600 skylights per year. It's all in the installation! Thanks for trusting Russell Roofing and Russell Skylights!
