At the time of installation I would have rated this much higher. Mr. Grumbles was extremely prompt in coming to make an offer and his work crew were on time and did the job quickly. The roof looked fine after completion. Our dissatisfaction came much later. About 2 1/2 years after installation we needed to have the roof gutters repaired and the contractor explained that the fascia board and a plywood sheet under the new shingles was soft and rotting, and that it should have been replaced at the time the shingles were replaced. We called Mr. Grumbles several times to ask him to come and inspect the problem area, always receiving his answering machine. Today he finally phoned and, in an irate voice, told my wife that he "was fed up with our bothering him" with the phone calls and that he was too busy with "important jobs" elsewhere. When it was explained what the gutter installers said, he responded that "I'm the expert here and you aren't." It was a disrespectful and angry Mr. Grumbles who finally said he would come and look at the problem area next week. It was implied that any work that he might agree to do would be at our extra expense. If you only want a new roof quickly installed and don't mind this kind of follow up later, this might be the right company to contact.

Description of Work: Explained what materials they would use, and how the would repair roof decking and trim if needed. They removed all old roof shingles and felt, repaired 8 rotted spots on roof deck, laid new felt, water and ice fabric in valleys, new shingles and flashing. Also replaced rotted boards on underside of roof overhang. 3 day job also included very good cleanup afterwards. Two followup visits after completion to make sure I was happy. 3 months after job with all the rain and no problems. If I ever have to roof a house I will call Grumbles. No need for a quote, just a "when can you start?".

Called for an estimate on installing extra wind turbines on my two story. He came out the next day and gave me the estimate and told me when he could get to it. He was here earlier than he originally stated but this was perfectly fine with me! He did a fine job and was very reasonably priced!

They were on time and very fast with the work, as well as cleaning up afterwards and making sure everything was what we wanted and that we were happy.
Description of Work: Replaced existing leaking roof with everything new including new rafters. this was an odd job because the pitch on the roof wasn't done right to begin with. I think they did a wonderful job and would recommend them to anyone and everyone.

Contacted grumbles this morning and they came out and gave me a free estimate. We agreed on a price. One hour later they were back working on my roof in the rain. An hour later it was done. They even found some minor damage from a tree limb and fixed that as well! Great service! Friendly, fast! Would highly recommend them!

I had used this contractor once before, for a small job, and was impressed with the work. I called him back for this larger project. He came out the same day and inspected the roof and quoted me the above price. This is a large and quot;Mansardand quot; type roof with large vertical surfaces front and back, making it a more difficult job. On the appointed day for the work, his crew arrived on time and went directly to work. During the process of removing the old roofing material, extensive rotted wood was discovered under the shingles and around window frames - the source of several leaks. His crew replaced the rotted wood and installed new window trim on the dormers. On the single-story side of the house, they found leaks and more rotted wood along the channel, which they repaired. They installed all new metal flashing and divided the large 2-story side with more metal trim, separating that side of the roof into 3 distinct roofs. All this additional, unexpected work caused the job to run into a 4th day. The additional work did not increase the invoiced amount - the $6900 I paid for the job was the amount quoted before the work commenced. This contractor and his entire crew were professional, friendly, and quite accomplished in the roofing trade. The additional work and the difficulties encountered working on vertical second-story surfaces, and working around the chimney in tight and quot;valleysand quot; presented challenges requiring some innovative procedures; they were inventive enough to find solutions to complete the job. They cleaned all debris and removed all nails from the yard before they left. I would enthusiastically recommend Albert Grumbles Roofing Co. to anyone needing that service.
Description of Work: Removed old shingles and paper from our large roof, repaired plywood roof, installed new roofing paper and shingles, replaced rotted wood trim, replaced inadequate turbine vents with 40ft of continuous venting.

He did a great job of coming out when he said he would. He was on time and very considerate. He looked at the problems I had and called me with an honest opinion on what needed to be repaired. I was very impressed with his knowledge and concern for my problems. I am waiting to see which direction to go but I will not hesitate to call him back for repairs or a new roof.

The crew arrived at my house exactly when they were scheduled. They started work promptly, replacing all the old roofing material. They cleaned up the old material as they worked so that when they drove the last nail, the job was done. They were courteous, professional, and efficient, and the price was reasonable.
Description of Work: About half my roof - the single-story side of the house - the kitchen, utility room, and Family room, was re-roofed because of leaks. I called Mr. Albert Grumbles, whose business and home is in my neighborhood, and asked for an estimate and information. He arrived at my house as scheduled, inspected the roof, did some measurements, and offered an estimate for both patching (by replacing the shingles over the area of the leaks) and redoing the entire lower roof. They replaced the tarpaper, the flashing, boots around the various pipes, and all the shingles with premium-grade material, and cleaned up old material and all dropped nails.
