Found one leak immediately after work was done and they did a good job responding and fixing the leak. However, they left a hole in the roof elsewhere where flashing was not installed correctly. This should have been found by their inspection after the work was done. That hole resulted in water coming down through a wall which caused significant damage to our main level wood floor and basement ceiling tiles. This water damage was not discovered until 6 years after installation—a year after the workmanship warranty had expired. I called them to fix it and they sent someone out promptly but their estimate to repair was too high. I called them back and asked if they could lower their quote considering the very poor workmanship and resulting damage to our house. They never called me back. I got someone else to do it and saved 30%.

Not well. Called the contact number on 10/23/17 in the AM and it was an answering service not the owner or office. Explained the problem to the person who advised me the message would be forwarded to the office and someone would call me back.Did not receive a call back. Called again on 10/24/17 in the AM spoke to a different person from the answering service and explained the problem all over again. No call back at all. I picked the contractor because of Angie's list and the high rating they have. Not impressed at all. Would not attempt to hire them in the future. Bad service. Used someone else for the job.
Description of Work: Had two leaks in the roof around vent pipes. One leak was bad enough to show and wet the sheet rock ceiling of one of our bathrooms starting to cause damage.

Dear homeowner, We looked in our records and we did attempt to reach you on 10 23, the same day that you had called in originally. We attempted to reach you again after second call in, but we were unable to leave a voicemail. If you would like, I can provide you with documentation of this if you e-mail me at brian at gilstraproofing.com. Thanks, Brian Gilstrap

Not well at all. They only want to do whole roof repairs. I feel this is their right but they should explain that in the initial contact instead of a week later. I see this as very unprofessional. I do not think I would want that kind of company working on my roof anyway.
Description of Work: I have a small area about 3 sq. ft. that needs to be repaired. After calling the first time I never got a response. After a month I called again, and a week later one of their employees called to come out and give me an estimate on the repair, i had talk with the office worker about. On the phone he stated they do not have the man power to come out and do a small job like mine. I am very disappointed about this and wish the office worker had told me they only do big jobs and can not take the time to do a small job.

Gilstrap Roofing was excellent from beginning to end. The inspection was scheduled within a few days of my initial inquiry. Chase London arrived promptly, evaluated the roof, and provided a complete written estimate. I contacted two other companies. One company's estimate was very high. The other company's estimate was comparable, but it came with a 2-year guarantee on workmanship whereas Gillstrap offered a 5-year guarantee. The workmen arrived early in the morning and worked diligently until evening. The work was completed in two days. The property was swept clean of all debris and nails. All in all, an excellent experience.

I contacted Gilstrap to make an appointment to review gutter and soffit replacement. Chase came out to review the job within 2 days and was polite - said he would follow-up with a quote for the job. It's been almost 2 weeks now with no quote and no response to my follow-up. Very upset that Gilstrap wasted my time!! Disappointing experience with this Angie's List company.

I had three roofing companies give me estimates to replace old shingles, repair roof, add new shingles, and remove old gutters and replace. All three companies' estimates were within a few hundred dollars of each other. I met with Brian Gilstrap to discuss and scope the job. He was very professional and knowledgable. His workers were highly puntual, hard working, nice, and professional. They finished in two and a half days. The roof looks great, and they cleaned up very well afterwards. I would definitely recommend them.

We had a driving rain and our 10 year old roof leaked into the attic/ceilings of 2 rooms around loose nails that were coming up and through the rain covers around the pipes coming out of the roof. Another roofing company quoted me $1200 to do the same job and replace the ridge vent (600.00 for screws + rain covers plus 600.00 for a new aluminum ridge vent) which Gilstrap told me was unnecessary. I saved 850.00 by doing business with an honest company! Thank you, Mr. Gilstrap for being an honest man and employing honest employees. Thank you, Jackie! You'll have my business when I need a new roof.
Description of Work: Gilstrap Roofing put screws in where there were incorrect nails coming loose and replaced all the rain covers (4) around the pipes.

Brian Gilstrap met with me to discuss the scope of the project and show me some sample roofing materials. He listened to my concerns about some leak issues, which he felt could be addressed easily through different techniques. He also suggested that he could replace a skylight which had had periodic leak issues in the past. In addition he recommended installing a ridge vent to replace an older style vent. He walked and measured the roof and gave me estimates including one with architectural shingles which he recommended, pointing out a color he thought would complement the house color. I called him back a few times to clarify different things and he immediately returned my calls and answered my questions. We agreed on a tentative date to begin the project, but had to reschedule due to the constant rain we were experiencing. When the weather changed we set the date and his crew showed up to begin. The project was completed as agreed on and the crew worked until dark to remove all rubbish as rain was forecast for that night. I was grateful they stayed and finished up as it did rain and they would have had a mess otherwise. The roof looks great and the color does complement the house. Brian and his team did a great job!

Response from Gilstrap Roofing
The project discussed was work that was related to the surface of a balcony on a home, and involved a lot of work in removing and replacing wrought iron, which isn't something we are comfortable with. I tried my best to politely tell the homeowner that the project was not something that we were interested in. They told me when they usually would be home, and I mentioned that I may take a look at it if I was in the area, but I did not set up an appointment. I am sorry if somehow our conversation was misinterpreted.

They quoted me $6400 for our roof plus additional for architectural shingles. I didn’t really care much for the person that came out. I am not sure that measured everything that needed to be measured. The insurance adjuster was here and I did not like him dealing with the insurance company as opposed to me. He is a good talker and he talks a good game. His price was competitive to the other quotes I got. He was on time.

I first called on Monday July 29th and said that I had a leak in my roof that was showing through on my ceiling inside. (We have had copious amounts of rain in the past month.) I asked for someone to come out and take a look. I was told someone would get back to me shortly to schedule an appointment (why the woman answering the phone couldn't do that, I don't know). When I still hadn't heard from them by Friday, I called again. It had rained again Thursday night and the problem was getting significantly worse. I pointed out to the woman on the phone that I had called on Monday and no one had called me back. She looked it up and just said, "Oh, I guess they got busy on other jobs". I stressed the urgency of the situation and was assured that I would be called back very shortly. It is now 3 days later and I still haven't heard back. I called them specifically because they had a good rating on here. So much for that.

I am sorry for the experience that you had with our company. Please understand that our estimators and repair technicians have been working twelve hour days for the past month or so due to the large amount of we've had. We try and set appointments as soon as we can, but with the rain our schedule is several days out. Again, I am sorry that we could not get back with you sooner and if you ever need anything in the future please call me directly at 864.414.5138.

The crew arrived on time and Brian Gilstrap was on site multiple times during the day to observe the progress. Overall I was very pleased with the cleanup and the work. His crew worked very hard all day and essentially completed the job in one day, only having to come back the next day for some touch up cleanup. Brian was very courteous and the crew did exactly what they were supposed to do.

The crew was finished in one day as promised. They avoided driving or parking in areas that I asked them not to drive or park on and they did an excellent job cleaning up behind themselves.
Description of Work: The company representative came to the house to view the roof when he said he would. He did what I asked in that he looked for hail damage. He offered to meet with the insurance representative and was on time to the meeting - even with only one days notice.
