His price was high. I'm sure they would do a great job, but if I can save $500, that's a lot of money. It was great. He had a wonderful presentation. It was real good, very organized. It's a first-class outfit, we just really went for the price. Everything was in writing.

They were always quick to respond and easy to get a hold of when I needed them, they cleaned up the area very well after the project was completed and their overall professionalism made them extremely easy to work with. We have recommended them to many friends in the area.

I had Don Kennedy Roofing come out and perform an estimate and agreed the same day to have them do the work. They were to contact me within a couple days to set up a time to perform the work. I called three times over the next week and left messages with no response. 28 days later they called me at 6:30am and told me they were coming that day. I went home during my lunch break to see how things were going since I was unable to take the day off as I was not given any notice. The foreman was there but didn't bother getting out of his truck until after I spoke to the crew. I asked why he had never called me back, he told me he had checked his calls and had left a message at the wrong number on Friday. I asked about the previous 4 weeks, his response was "it's been crazy with all this rain", it did not rain at all 18 days after I got my estimate, and only one day out of the entire month! My estimate called for replacing the rotten decking. When I spoke to the foreman about how the repairs were going, he didn't mention the decking. When I asked about it, he said it didn't need replacing because it wasn't rotten and "would hold a nail". I explained that it was rotten and molded, he told me he was unaware of mold and I should just clean it with some bleach. He then showed me pictures from the estimate..which show pictures of the mold. They finished the work that day and filed a formal complaint with them including additional pictures of the rotten decking. They came back out and looked at the roof again and quoted an considerable increase in price to finish the full work that was originally quoted. I decided I no longer wanted to deal with them in any way and opted to do the additional work myself. Also between the time of them doing the work and resolving my complaint, I received a bill for the full amount as if they had indeed done the entire job as quoted. I had to call and get this adjusted and they only took $70 off the total price for not replacing all the items described in the original quote. In short, I had an absolutely terrible experience with Don Kennedy Roofing and they didn't do much to make amends for their mistakes. I could never recommend this company to anyone.

The sales presentation of Shane Taylor is top notch, very professional, thorough and detailed. I compared proposals from 4 roofing companies before selecting Don Kennedy roofing. Shane was the first to provide an estimate. I told my wife after Shane left that if I was ever going to buy after the first estimate it would have been from Shane. The installation team was also very professional, courtious and thorough. Cleaned up and neatened up daily allowing access to the garage after their work hours during the entire project. There were a few small items on the roof that needed to be corrected after the soffits and gutters were installed and the were handled within 2 ~ 3 days.
Description of Work: Remove old roof, Repair any roof damage. Install new roof, flashing, chiminey cap, down spouts & gutters. Coordinated with Don Smith Siding for the installation of new Fascia, Soffit & Freeze board.

We contacted Don Kennedy Roofing for a minor roof repair on a 2-story home that would enable us to satisfy a buyer?s requirement to complete the sale of our house. The initial estimate was for several hours of work that would include pulling off shingles, repairing or replacing the boards beneath the shingles, then putting on new shingles. The estimate was for 2 workers, several hours at a cost of roughly 1,000, including a 10% discount we negotiated into the contract. The actual work did not include any work on the boards beneath the shingles and took the 2 men less than 90 minutes. The workers left us a bill for $981 but told us as they would inform the office so we would receive a significant reduction to the bill since the work was far less than originally proposed. The office has since informed us that there will be no reduction and we have to pay the full amount, in effect, several hundred more than the job was worth.

We contracted Don Kennedy Roofing to replace our roof that was damaged in a storm. They started on time, the price was fine...everything was good. I went to work and when I came back I noticed one of the windows was scratched from the pieces they had thrown down from the roof. As I investigated further, I found that EVERY SINGLE WINDOW in the house had been scratched or broken- that's 14 windows! I called the company right away and someone came out and looked at the damage and said the company would pay for replacements. He then went up on the roof and talked to the crew. He left and I had to go out to run an errand. When I came back, about 40 minutes later, the crew had left for the day, but i could see clearly from the drive way that a piece of the trim on one of the dormers had been damaged- a good 8 inches of trim down next to the roof where the flashing is- had been hacked off. I called the company again and was assured it would be replaced, too. True to their word, the company replaced the windows and fixed the trim. Their expenses fixing it were actually more than the price of the roof. Fine, great. BUT... Flash forward to January; We had our handyman come out to clean the gutters, which he did twice a year, only this time they were stuffed with Coke cans and chip bags- to the point where he had to take some of them down and push the junk through. He said that he believed someone had put them in on purpose and pushed them in with a broom handle or something to make them blocked up. There were over a 15 cans in there! I knew right away that it was the roofers, angry that I had called about their sloppy work, but I did not complain to Don Kennedy as I didn't want anything else to do with them. THEN, about 3 weeks later we got heavy , heavy rains. I came out to the garage and noticed water on the floor. Looking up, the ceiling was soaked through. I ran upstairs and went into the storage area next to the dormer (Yes, the same dormer that was damaged) and found water pouring in- right in the spot where the trim was replaced. I quickly emptied some large plastic bins- the kind you store clothes in- and arranged them to catch the water. I called the roofing company and told them the new roof was leaking badly. They said someone would come right out to fix it. That's what they told me the next day when the rain had stopped, and the next day, too. Then they said it was raining too hard for someone to come out and rain was predicted for the next 4 days- all the while I am carting plastic bins full of water to empty out. I finally called and asked to speak to Don Kennedy himself, sure that he would be apalled at how I had been treated. He assured me that someone would be out within the hour to fix the leak, and sure enough, in the pouring rain they came out. It was fixed and I was told it was a very large hole in the flashing, and since I didn't replace the flashing I was responsible for the charges and the company would not fix the damaged ceiling in the roof of the garage, even though they waited almost a week before they came out. I reminded them that there was no mention of a hole when they were replacing the roof, and if there had been a hole there before they replaced the roof, the roof would have leaked all along since that area was not where the storm had done any damage. I also reminded them of the intentional damage that had been done to the dormer and informed them of the cans and chip bags in the drains. They said the cans could have come from anywhere! I couldn't believe they expected me to swallow that someone else had been up on my roof and stuffed 15 cans and at least that many chip bags into my gutters and drains! I had the work on the ceiling done and paid for it myself. The drywall had to be replaced and the entire ceiling had to be repainted- I say REpainted because we were going to put the house up for sale and had the garage painted a couple of months before. I would NEVER AGAIN call this company for anything. While they fixed some of the damage, I still had to pay for their crew's vandalism. I have never had any service person unhappy with the way I have done business with them and to be treated this way is unbelievable to me.

We had an excellent total experience with Don Kennedy Roofing. Damian Roberts, the consultant, was professional, knowledgeable and helpful in working with us through the process prior to beginning the actual work on the roof. He also returned to our property to inspect the work after it was completed to make certain all was done satisfactorily. Once the work began, the roofers worked diligently, efficiently & quickly. They worked on our roof daily for more than one week and were always very respectful of our property. When the work was completed, they cleaned up our yard quickly and completely to our safisfaction. Overall, all employees along with the enire experience totally exceeded our expectations. There is a reason why Don Kennedy Roofing has been in business in Nashville for many years and why they continue to be the premier roofing company in this area. We would definitely use their services again if needed and would never even consider using another Nashville roofing company.
Description of Work: Due to hail damage, we had the old roof on our house totally removed and a complete new roof put on the entire house along with new gutters, flashing, and copper roofing as well.

We scheduled to have Don Kennedy Roofing come to our house to do an estimate for storm damage to our roof. After no one showed 30 minutes after the scheduled time we assumed they were not coming. Then 10-15 minutes later we noticed there were a couple of men on our roof. When we went out to meet them they were already ripping shingles off of our roof. We asked what they were doing and they said they had a work order to replace shingles. We clarified for them that the appointment was only for an estimate and we had not agreed to any work. They immediately stopped what they were doing. The head person looked over the roof and said the entire roof needed to be replaced and suggested we contact our insurance company so they would pay for the full replacement. They said to give them a call with the appointment time our insurance agent would be out and they would meet with them. I contacted insurance and got an appointment a few days out. We called and left 3 messages with Don Kennedy Roofing with the appointment time that our insurance agent would be there. We never once received a call back from them. We were absolutely dissappointed with this company. They were late, disorganized, tore up our roof more, and have no follow through on committments. This was the first company we contacted and would have used them if they had at least had the courtesy to call us back. We gave them a D for responsiveness since they at least came the first time, a C for punctualoty because they were late to the first appointment, a D for professionalism since they were polite on the first visit but then never called us back, and an F overall based on the total experience.
Description of Work: There were no services performed. After the initial visit they never returned phone calls.

The leaks are still occuring. Yes there is a 10 year warrenty on repairs, but I'm getting tired of keeping buckets out and having to call after major rain and finding leaks. the roof I am refering to is about 2 hours from Nashville so getting timely responses have been frustrating and having to make the calls when my calls are not returned are getting frustrating. There is evidently another process they offer to detect leaks, but they have not done it yet, I am having to ask for that process to be done. Seems there aren't enough people in the company that know enough about it, so I will have to wait until they can get the one person familiar with the process to come do it. Yes I said I would hire them again only because they have been "nice" and I feel this is an isolated incident. But my patience, which I have had plenty of, is now running thin. We are working on a year now since the repair was done.

The shingling and sealing went fast. The persistent leak did not. It required three trips to find it and correct it and they were very professional about it tearing out portions of the rubber roof and replacing it until they fixed the problem. I am happy to have the leak gone and I greatly appreciated their perserverance and determination to find it and fix it. I thought the price was fair too.
Description of Work: I have had a persistent leak in a rubber cap flat portion of my roof for quite sometime. After many attempts to correct it I finally called Don Kennedy. They were very responsive and came out and gave me an estimate. I also had them do some sealing and shingle replacement on a sloped shingled portion of the roof.

A new roof these days costs a lot more than I expected, but the last one I purchased for the same home was 20 years ago. Don Kennedy's price was competitive with others, though somewhat higher. We still chose them because we felt more confident in their quality and professionalism and with the fact that they have been around a long time and probably will be in business for many more years. Should any problem arise, I feel sure they'll stand behind their work more than most and will go the extra mile. They started and completed the job pretty much when they said they would, which was tricky given the weather this March. The roof, which is 2 stories and has some tricky angles and valleys, took 3 days, including tear-off, plus an extra day for the metal guys to come in and do some copper flashing. Very impressed with the workmanship and appearance of the job. The gutters maybe went even better. Removed the old gutters one afternoon and came back and installed new gutters the next morning. Done by lunchtime. Beautiful job, and the gutters are draining just as they should. Both crews left a clean site. Everybody involved in the entire project seemed to take pride in their work and to be skilled and knowledgeable. In 20 years or so, I'll report back on how the roof and gutters have stood up.
