3 yrs. ago Rocco applied a whole new rubber roof. Leak persisted despite numerous return visits. 2016 he applied a new rubber roof over the 3 yr. old roof. Leak persisted. At least 2 return visits including installing a new downspout did not resolve problem. Latest return supposedly "found" openings--"repaired". Leak returned following recent rainfall. These return visits were w/out additional charge (except for the downspout), but I paid for 2 roofs & still had a serious problem even though Rocco said that I now had a commercial roof. Btw, the foreman of the roofing group was shown on @ least 2 of the visits the water damage to the wood rafter area between the roof & the ceiling where the plaster had fallen out. I called in a second roofer--City Wide Roofing, recommended by a relative, in hopes that he might discover what Rocco failed to repair. His men found water squirting up through new roofing where they stood. Said original roofer (Rocco) simply covered up problem w/2 roofs & I needed to have an extensive part of roof opened & the now rotting wood roof deck area which is holding water like a sponge replaced before repairing & sealing existing roof cover. The City Wide people discovered that water was running under the rubber from missing shingles on an A-frame part of the roof that should have been obvious to a roofer who had no restrictions on the work that needed to be done originally. The squishy roof surface also evidently caused no concern on the repeat visits. The faulty drain to the downspout also needed to be replaced.
Description of Work: Over a 3 yr. period, applied 2 rubber roofs, new skylight & downspout in order to correct some serious leaks in the main roof of a 3 story end-of-row house. On March 23, 2016 areas still leaking were supposedly repaired.

It was not very good. They did part good and there was a part that wasn't done very well. We were having some problems with them coming back and keeping their warranty.

They were punctual, their price was great and the work they did was great. They also cleaned up after themselves. I am planning to hire them again soon.
Description of Work: I utilized the services of Joseph Rocco & Sons Roofing for a roof replacement. The price also includes a 20 year warranty. Additionally, they will come back after 5 years or so to inspect the roof-all including in the price above.

The construction of the skylight has not lasted at all. The service when they were doing the work was very poor, and now they are making us pay for the repairs instead of taking responsibility for their shoddy work.
Description of Work: They installed a skylight about 5 years ago.

Response from Rocco&sons contracting inc.
We do our best to make our customers happy, in this case the area of roofing was also bad . When we told the customer it was not the skylight and further work had to be purchased ,we then became the bad guys. We have no problem standing behind our work. Please forgive us for any misunderstanding Thank You Joe Rocco.

This is a revised review almost a year after I interacted with this company. In 2011, I spoke with them over the phone, and they said they would come out to see why there was a leak in my roof. No specific appointment was made, however. And since I didn't hear back from them for a while, I called them at least 5 times again, leaving a message each time. By the time they finally responded I had already made other arrangements. When they did finally respond, they gave me an estimate over the phone, even though they had never made an appointment to come out to examine the roof. Apparently, they came when I was not at home and simply went up on the roof and took a look. Let me be clear: they never did any work for me. My ratings are based on their lack of responsiveness to my phone calls and the fact that they never actually told me when they would be coming to my house. I never received a call saying, "We've gotten your messages and will send somebody out when we can." I never received a call letting me know that somebody was coming to the house or when they were coming. And by the time they finally did call, I had had several other companies come out to give me an estimate. I considered their failure to respond to my phone calls and their failure to actually tell me when they were coming out to my house to be unresponsive and unprofessional. And almost a year later, I received a phone call from the company threatening me with a law suit if I did not delete my review from Angie's List. I consider that to be unprofessional as well. The facts I have described are accurate to the best of my memory, almost a year later. One other thing: Angie's List does not permit an overall score of N/A. It is hard to score a company which hasn't actually done work for you even though you've had some interaction with it. But since I must leave an overall score, I have left a grade of C, for what it's worth (and to avoid a lawsuit). Also, for what it's worth, I wouldn't hire this company under any circumstances.
Description of Work: I had a roof leak in my house in University City in Philadelphia. They (finally) gave me an estimate over the phone.

My neighbors recommended them to me. They were excellent. They were thorough and clean. The only problem was that they were Russian so they were hard to understand.
Description of Work: They capped windows for me after I got hurt and couldn’t do it myself.

They did a good job on the roof. They give you a fifteen year warranty on their work. They moved to a new number and they didn't leave any information, so I couldn't get a hold of them and that was frustrating. The only way I found them again was that I called someone to get my deck work done and realized they were the same people. Now I don't know if my warranty is still valid.
Description of Work: They did a roof for me, but they are also coming back to do the deck.

I didn t have a good experience with Rocco Roofing. They tore off the entire roof the first day and didn t cover it up and it ended up raining and it poured through three stories of my home. They were supposed to do piece by piece and cover it and they didn't. The workers did come on time everyday but when I asked them to clean up each day there was a language barrier so I called my friend on the phone to ask her to interpret to tell them I want it cleaned each day for nails. The owner was never there and he said he would be. The roof did get done but I have a lot of damages inside of the house that I have to repair now.
Description of Work: Rocco Roofing tore off my old shingled roof and put new shingles on my seven bedroom, two and a half bathroom home.

Rocco gave us a great estimate and stuck to it, so we do have a new roof and insulation. However he and I had a personality conflict, but I was able to work things out with his wife, who did a great job of mediating. His crew worked quickly, but they did not fix the primary structural dip that caused the pooling in the first place, even after coming out a second time. We are satisfied because the previous roof was so bad, however it is not ideal. I guess you get what you pay for b/c he charged half of any other roofer who bid on the project!
Description of Work: Rocco tore off three old flat roofs and replaced them with a modified rubber roof and blew in insulation.

I WOULD NEVER, EVER USE THIS COMPANY AGAIN! VERY RUDE AND ARROGANT ON THE PHONE. AFTER THE WORK THEY DID AND MY ROOF BEING WORSE THAN THE START, I WONDER IF THE TWO GUYS THAT PATCHED IT ARE EVEN PROFESSIONAL ROOFERS?
Description of Work: HAD A LEAK IN MY ROOF. THE FIRST TIME THEY CAME OUT AND REMOVED A FEW SHINGLES AND CAULKED AROUND THE ATTIC VENT ON THE ROOF. THIS MADE THE LEAK WORSE! NOW IT WAS LEAKING ALOT FURTHER ON THE INSIDE CEILING. CALLED THEM BACK AND THEY CAME OUT A SECOND TIME, THEY PATCHED A DIFFERENT SPOT ON THE ROOF AND IT WAS LEAKING WORSE AGAIN. THIS WORK WAS DONE BOTH TIMES BY THE SAME TWO GUYS, NEITHER OF WHICH DID THE ESTIMATE. I CALLED BACK THE THIRD TIME AND ANOTHER GUY DECIDED I NEEDED A WHOLE NEW ROOF FOR $3250. THIS IS A SMALL ONE STORY END TOWNHOUSE. I TOLD THEM TO DO HALF THE ROOF THAT WAS LEAKING, THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE OTHER HALF. THEY NEVER CALLED ME BACK, WAITED ABOUT A WEEK. I HAD TO CALL SOMEONE ELSE AND START OVER. I REPORTED THEM TO THE BBB .

It was a horrible job. Everything is awful. My insurance company says I need to go to court to sue them. They have people that come and demand money to clean up the job. They used the dumpster at the neighbors around the corner. They never cleaned up the yard, I had to have it done myself. They never send the same people to do the work
Description of Work: They looked at the roof and said it was fine. They put up some siding.
