My roof was leaking. I called Bob Crone, and he was able to come out during the rain and help with the leak. I then had him give me a bid on replacing the roof. He gave a bid for a shingle, and metal roof. I also talked with him about the problem I was having with the back patio and how it needed the overhang extended. He said it was a good time to do this, while doing the roof. Bob came back with quotes on the shingle and metal. The metal was not that much more, so I went with the metal. Bob and his nephew did the installation of the roof, and the overhang on the patio. They were there (IN the HEAT of SUMMER), and completed it within a week. They cleaned up the mess. Bob was able to work with me to get the quote and finished order for the insurance company to help pay for the roof. I would highly recommend Bob. He is honest, and will do a great job. If there is a problem he will not cover it up, but fix it.
Description of Work: Replaced roof with a metal roof. Fixed the overhang on the back patio.

Description of Work: I was unable to pin Mr. Crone down to the price of the complete JOB. He told me the estimate (not written) would be about $500 to repair the leak and soffit and would take aobut 2 days; then said he worked for $250 a day... unless he had a helper, so his pricing was vague. He told me he would PROBABLY be here Jan 28th to start the job, but did not show up until the 31st and did not call ahead (he was several days late without a call to let me know the job had been postponed). I was about to call someone else but since he arrived, I let him start the job) He worked 5 hours one day and a full day the next day and charged me $600 for labor and $50 for material. He had a helper for a part of the 2nd day who handed him things up the ladder. (He left his tools overnight on the ground. It has been my experience that if you disrepsect the tools of your trade, you disrespect the job you're doing). The roof still leaks, he left exposed flashing ON THE TOP OF THE ROOF; said it would create holes if he nailed shingles back on (they dont make adhesive?) however, it can be seen from the street and looks like crap. The soffit was not repaired (included in original "estimate") He was going to come back and do it at the cost of another day or two but since the rest of the job is inadequate, I called and asked him not to come back. I am not an employer and cannot support a worker by the hour or by the day for an indefinable period of time if he cant get the job done. While he was personable enough (pleasant and respectful), I did not discuss these issues with Mr. Crone because it has also been my expereince that if you have to have someone like this come back they continue to charge you for shoddy work. I dont have the time, energy or money to fight with this caliber of worker.

I have not heard from him since.
Description of Work: The gentleman showed up and looked at the window and showed me where the job would be minimal. He asked if I had a problem if he combined my job with another job down the street, in about 3 weeks. I have not heard from him since.

I got an estimate from Bob Crone to do the remodel of a bathroom, excluding the tile, electrical and plumbing. I added a few other things as we went so the price was more than the original quote. He showed up on time, and did everything he said he would do as well as all the little things I added. I did as much of the demo as I could before and as we went along, and helped Bob with the rest. He let me be his assistant and was very patient. In the main bathroom, we knocked out a wall dividing the bathroom in 2. Bob removed the tub and repaired a wall in the shower area (I replaced a tub with a walk-in shower), and insulated the walls as needed. He also knocked out a closet and installed a doorway into the hall, He framed in another door in the bath that got a larger door. He installed both doors and a bath fan that vented to the outside. He also framed in and sheetrocked a small pantry next to the bathroom and stalled a door in that. In the 2nd bathroom Bob repaired the area where I had ripped out the dividing wall and sheetrocked it. He also repaired the wall in the tub that had been ripped out to repair a leak. He installed a bath fan that vented to the outside. This work occurred over about 8 weeks, with a few days off here and there. Bob told me up front what things he preferred someone else to do, like electric, plumbing and tiling. He helped me find a guy to do the tiling, and helped me buy supplies that were needed, like doors. I enjoy working with Bob and have no problems giving him the key to my house. He even puts up with my dogs. As I've said before, he is also my neighbor and I continue to use his services as I fix up this house.
Description of Work: Remodeled 1 bathroom to include rough in of the shower, removal of existing doorway and closet space, making a new doorway, sheetrocking most of the walls, installing 2 bath fans, installing 2 doors and building a small pantry. Also repaired the sheetrock in another bathroom.

I hired Bob Crone to remove 10 old picture windows and install new double paned low e windows. He also removed and replaced 2 large sliding glass doors. He also added panes of glass to either side of 2 stained glass windows in my entry. It took over a week, since Bob was doing all the work by himself, with a little assistance from his son. He removed the trim on the exterior, installed the windows and doors, caulked, and replaced the original trim or installed new trim as needed. He did not caulk around the trim or paint as I wanted to do that myself. He measured and ordered the windows ahead of time, and went with me to order the sliders. I paid for all windows and doors myself. When they were ready, he started work. He broke one window installing it, but paid for it himself. He did not get rid of the old windows as I was giving them to someone else. I was not home during the work, but I have no problem leaving my house and dogs with Bob. He also came back to adjust one of the screen doors that came off its track. I'm ready to use his assistance and expertise again for my next project.
Description of Work: Removed and replaced 10 picture windows, 2 sliding glass doors and added 4 panes of glass to 2 stained glass windows..

I have a roof leak that will not be covered by insurance. I had Crone remodeling come out to look at the roof and see if it could be repaired long enough to collect bids. He did a great job. He even went into my terrible attic and looked around! He was able to do enough repair to give me some breathing room to collect bids. He had to be a little late but I really appreciated him calling to let me know he would be late.

Bob Crone was recommended by a friend in March as a general contractor and remodeler for a house we bought in Cedar Creek. We weren't planning to move into the house until June or July, so we had the luxury of getting work done over a 3 month period. We were both working out of town so we didn't come by very often. As a disclaimer, let me say that Bob is my neighbor which had the plus for us of someone keeping an eye on the place until we could move in. We were looking to replace the asphalt roof which was 35 years old. We wanted a standing seam metal roof and Bob gave us an estimate for both standing and non-standing seam metal roofs. Bob says he started out in roofing so he could do the work. We liked his price so we hired him. We also asked if he could find someone to scrape the popcorn ceilings in the entire house, and replace the paneling in the living room and dining room, and paint both rooms. The house is single story, but the living room rises to 2nd story height, so it wasn't something we thought we could do ourselves. Over the course of 3 months, all the work was done. There was no rush on anyone's part, so we can't really comment on how quickly it all happened. We got written estimates, paid half up front for the roof and the paint and went from there. While the living room was torn apart we asked for 4 sconce boxes, a ceiling fan box, and some outlets and switches to be added, Bob called in Greg Duncan, Duncan Electric company, to do the work. We have Greg lined up to do some more things around the house a little later. Bob lined up the painter, Tony Licciardello, who did a wonderful job of removing the popcorn, texturing with orange peel, and priming. We picked out a color scheme long distance for the living room using Sherwin Williams colors and he painted it. Removing popcorn is a very messy job and we are still finding bits but he did a pretty good job of cleaning up. He also removed a 70's intercom system and repaired the holes. He did such a good job, I forgot they were ever there when I was painting the bedrooms. Bob and his grandson, Issac, did a great job on the roof. It looks really nice and we're looking forward to the first rain, if it ever rains again. He cleaned up the area well afterward. He designed a fix to some decorative poles holding up some overhangs by rearranging the angle, and replacing the flimsy wrought iron with wood 4x4s wrapped in galvanized metal. It looks so much better. He also made a new top for the dryer vent. We plan to use Bob again when we're ready for the next project. He also has great contacts for work he doesn't do himself. And his wife Susan makes great blonde brownies.
Description of Work: A 26 gauge Snaploc galvalume metal roof with a ridge vent was installed over the old roof. Bob Crone also acted as general contractor for a painter who removed popcorn ceiling in the entire house, primed all ceilings and painted the living room/dining room area; and for an electrician who added 4 sconce boxes, outlets and a ceiling fan box. Bob also removed paneling in the living room/dining room and replaced it with sheetrock, put in insulation and trim around the windows.
