John and his team installed rubber roofs on my back deck and roof deck in 2014. Over the summer, I developed leaks that had nothing to do with the installation. John and his team came out 2xs to fix the issues, and despite the time it cost them, they never charged me due to the fact that I have a warranty on the roof (and again, the leaks had nothing to do with the work they did). I highly recommend them.

Phillips was a good choice for our roofing needs. They worked with me to find the best solution to address our roofing problem. They were very professional, courteous, and responsive to every email or phone call.
Description of Work: My top main roof was in need of repair due to wind damage. Luckily, there was no water damage. The roof material was crumbling and lifting with debris flying off the roof.

Installation was completed in about 2 hours. My roof is flat and only around 700 sf. We didn't experience any problems for about 11 months until we were hit with a heavy snow storm. They arrived the next day to diagnose the problem. At the time of this writing, they haven't fixed the roof yet but I expect them to do so in the next couple of days.

Horrible. They charge a lot of money and the water is still coming in my closet even though they came down around 3 or 4 times to fix it. They make appointments for 9 in the morning and show up at noon or 3pm in the afternoon or maybe not at all.

Dear Member, Thank you for taking the time to review our company. Just want to get on the same page, the price is wrong. We charged you 1,100 and charged your sister 1,200.00, this was for 2 roofs, not one. When we first met with you, we explained you needed a new roof. You stated that you were on a budget and couldn't afford it. We said we will help you, but with repairs on an older roof, it may be hard to find the leak the first time. So with that understanding we completed your repairs. After the first few rain storms you continued to leak, but slowed significantly. Whenever you called or emailed, we responded within an hour. We set appts and kept them, showing up on time every time. We never once charged you extra money or shied away from repairing your roof. We just wanted to stop your leak. We also spoke to your neighbor who happened to be a local roofer. He stated that you had 7 roofing companies make repairs in the last 4 months. We understand it could be frustrating to have a leaky roof. We have been here for you and will continue to make repairs at your request. PHI

They were very flexible on the date as I wanted one of us to be home and that meant we could only do it on a Tuesday or Friday. We juggled and worked around the weather and they were able to come on the very next Friday and finished in less than a day. The roof is great and held water nicely through the storms of the past couple weeks. I really appreciated the speed they wanted to help and the flexibility to accommodate our work schedules. Excellent phone communication before, during and after.
Description of Work: We needed our roof repaired and I'd contacted Phillips about another project a couple years ago. They couldn't help then but I was so impressed with my interactions with them that I kept their card. We noticed leaks coming through our master bedroom and had them out to give it a look. They recommended a rubber roof.

It did not work out very well at all. I hired them in Sept of 2015 and they just finished up last month. It was horrible, my house still isn't finished but I had to kick them off the job. Well, last month I kicked them off the job, even though my house isn't done. They were supposed to do foundation, walls, roof, supposed to finish the interior, the whole nine, every phase of the project they just screwed up. They didn't follow any of the permits, they didn't follow any of the plans. I had to threaten them with litigation just to get them to somewhat finish the shell. It's terrible. They put vinyl siding on my house with drywall screws. My trusses that they put on the house were either put in backwards or they were out of plane. We had to have an engineer come out and do a repair plan. They took a job they weren't qualified for. I would absolutely not use them again. They didn't do a very good job on anything. I would just tell everyone to avoid them. They could work on honesty. I noticed there were 8 different people.

Dear Member, Thank you for taking the time to review our company. It took you a year to hire us after our first visit to your property back in December 2014. At this time, you had me believe you were a truck driver, still unclear on why that was? As soon as you contacted us to award us the contract in September 2015 and the deposit was made, we started right away. After trying to submit the original plans an they were incomplete, we had to wait to for corrections. We were using your architect that you hired before we even contracted your project. A month later you finally finished the plans, we submitted them and went to work. When the forms were in place for the concrete to be poured, you made us wait an additional week due to the weather (even the it was good enough weather to pour and the city approved the pouring). Because of this delay (that you requested), we were hit with about a 2 month stand still due to the snow and cold weather. As the job moved along you would visit the job site and instruct our guys to change the construction. My guys would follow the plans, after the work was complete, you would have them modify the work that was already complete. You also stated that you would take it up with the city because this was your home. But, on the other had this was just another hold up for us, because you made us change things over and over. You gave us a set of plans for trusses. We ordered the trusses and had them delivered to your home. A week after the delivery you gave us a new set of plans for the trusses. You never brought the change to our attention until after the trusses were in your driveway. Because we ordered the original set, we had to construct an overhang around the entire perimeter of your home on site, which you did not want to pay extra for and didn't. Now at this point you stated you were not a truck driver, you're an employee for Toll Brothers (a construction company). At this point we are confused on your agenda. We complete the work up until the electric. We had to stop work once again until the electric was complete, which took you 3 months to complete. The electric was being complete by one of your family members (he is not a licensed electrician). We sent you an email stating that once you were complete the electric we would be back to finish your project. The city would not allow us to move forward without the electric being complete. We hear back from you stating that the city completed inspection on your home. We did not get any notice to meet for a walkthrough until inspection was complete. We are still confused how your were able to get the city to your home for inspection, but we couldn't. The permits were in our name and we couldn't even get them to your home. From day one the city inspector stated that he didn't want us on your home because we are based in Philadelphia. He wanted his team on your project. So with that, we felt things were a little biased from the very beginning. All in all, we are happy to be finished with this project. We learned a lot, your home turned out beautiful (we encourage members to drive by to view the outside from the street). We never once shied away from working on your home and meeting your every need. You hired us to complete your project and that's what we did. We finished your project in a timely fashion, with all the holds up we had that were just out of our reach. Thank you, PHI

It was a pleasure working with Phillips. This is a great family company. Every phone, email, and in-person interaction was just spot on. Professional, efficient, informative. The Phillips crew carry themselves the way you wish all crews would, respectful, clean and efficient. They always showed up on time, as planned. Walked me through all projected work and then reviewed finished work with me upon completion. Feeling great about our new roof and skylight, thanks for everything guys.

The rooftop deck is amazing. The project was far from easy since city permits, historic permits, and just navigating construction in the middle of Rittenhouse square needed to be dealt with. But the final outcome was incredible, they built a small landing balcony with spiral staircase that lead up to an amazing rooftop deck. I was happy with the professional nature of the workers, they were very efficient and courteous. The quality of the end product is something I am very happy with, it is better than I had envisioned. Could not be happier with the service and the final product, the roofdeck and Phillips home improvement were perfect.
Description of Work: Built a rooftop deck at a condo in center city (19th and Spruce). Also replaced three doors.

It went great. We would have no reservations about using them again.
Description of Work: We've hired them on two separate occasions. Once to replace a fascia board. They came out the next day to complete the job when often it's hard to get companies to even come and give an estimate. The work was priced well. They were quick and courteous and we were happy with the job. The other job was to fix some issues with a basement window well. They went beyond the scope of work, but did not raise the agreed upon price. They really wanted to make sure that they did the job right for us and make sure that we were happy. That really left a great impression on us - we were very happy with everyone we dealt with in the company.

They were great, and showed up to fix the roof almost immediately. They communicated with both my tenant (who had the leaking roof) and me, and coordinated everything smoothly through their office. I have a number of properties, and Phillips Home Improvement is my go-roofer. They almost always get the leak right away, and if they need to come back they do it immediately. Professional and very responsive.

Beautifully ! The writing and the re-writing of the contract was a little challenging but overall that was me being very careful and clear this time. I have dealt with dozens of contractors over my professional life and have horror stories and good stories. Phillips was terrific ! Polite, professional, honest, friendly and most of all great craftsmanship. There were no arguments about price, schedule, craft or process. I would recommend them to anyone and in fact have them scheduled to do another job this week. I think I found a contractor team that I can honestly recommend. From permits to finish the job is done and exceptional.

Got an appointment quickly for a quote. Roofer was an hour late on day of quote. This was communicated at expected time of arrival. Friendly on arrival. Was able to have the work done in one day and soon after the quote was provided. I asked multiple times for the roofer to call me to describe what work was done, as it did not appear to match the quote. Was not able to get a hold of him or get a call back.

I initially called a week ago and set up an appointment to get an estimate on a roof repair job for Wednesday August 10 between 3-4 PM. I was greatly anticipating meeting Rob who I was told would be doing the estimate for my roof and thought if it went well I would consider hiring them to do other home improvement jobs around my house including a full kitchen and bath remodel. Too bad for Phillips Home Improvement LLC... the experience I had with Rob left me speechless and I WOULD NOT DREAM of EVER letting them do any work on my house! Let me explain. I was home all day that Wednesday and about 2:45 PM I thought I heard a knock on my door, but wasn't sure it was Rob as I was under the assumption I would be notified that he was on his way. Within a minute I opened my door and came out on my steps and looked around as nobody was there. I did notice a truck with ladders on top in front of my neighbor's property, but the man inside did not acknowledge me so I went back inside. At about 3:10 PM the woman who scheduled my appointment called to let me know Rob was at my property. I replied: Ok, I am home. He can knock. Ten more minutes went by until Rob finally POUNDED on my door at 3:20 PM. His look of disgust and his attitude were immediate turn offs. His first words were something like I've been here for 40 minutes in the rudest tone possible. I replied that I did open the door when he first knocked and nobody was there. Then he claimed he had already looked at my roof which was odd since the roof that needed work was in the rear of my house. When I informed him of this he grunted something like: Well, am I looking at that roof or what? To which I replied no because I did not like his attitude and would never feel comfortable working with him! He huffed and puffed and got back in his truck. I was left dumb-founded. I could not believe that this all really happened. Now I do realize that at times there are unforeseen events and mixed communications that can happen between a business and a customer and for that I will lend my part of an apology if I was in any way at fault, but regardless Rob was representing his company and miserably failed at the customer service aspect of it. He left me with such a bad impression that I immediately took to writing this review to let other Angie's List customers know that even if all goes well with your initial meeting with Rob there is the potential for this very unprofessional side to come out!

I was absolutely impressed with how professional yet compassionate this company was in fulfilling my roofing needs. From the moment I called for a consultation, the entire process was very easy. I am a single woman, therefore, when it comes to home repairs, I'm a bit out of my comfort zone. They were punctual as well as very educated on what roofing type would best suit my needs. Price was very competitive, as I had another company come prior to Phillip and give me an estimate. Obviously I ended up choosing Phillips, and I am very satisfied with my choice. They treated this project as if it were their own home! I absolutely will be calling them for all my home improvement needs.
