New Orleans Asphalt Shingle Roof Repair

There was a delay because of bad where and a back log of projects, but after two months my roof was replaced. I requested a water barrier around the edge. I wanted 18 inches but only 9 inches as installed. Only two bundles were delivered and I paid for three. The crew ate chicken on their break and threw bones in my yard. I have a small dog and had to spend a few days to find bones hoping my dog wouldn’t choke on one I missed. I also find chewing gum. I attached a picture of what was left. I understand a company like this doesn’t have control over what kind of people they hire.

Jose was very communicative each step of the way. He was the most reasonably priced by far, and although he accidentally forgot to include one item in his quote, he ate the cost instead of increasing his estimate. I explained that I was working on a tight timeline, and he was able to start work within 2 days of my signing the estimate. He was working at a home that is currently vacant, so he texted to let me know when he arrived onsite, lots of progress pictures, and a daily summary of work.

During Hurricane Isaac I had damage and leaks on my home's old asphalt roof. After inspecting the damage and discussing with the insurance adjuster, it was obvious that the entire roof needed to be replaced. The thought of having to go through the hassles of locating, qualifying, and ultimately hiring a roofing contractor was something that I dreaded. As most can imagine, in the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina/Rita there is no shortage of roofing contractors in SE Louisiana. But that over-abundance of available folks calling themselves "roofers" didn't make the task easier. I'd heard plenty of horror stories about the bad experiences of others. However, I am pleased to share that my experience with Magnolia Roofing and Exteriors was very professional and successful! My specific observations about this company and it's services are as follows - - This firm is very well reviewed on Angie's List. I was also able to obtain a number of personal recommendations and referrals from other individuals and banks in the community. These comments certainly helped me to decide to have them bid on this project. - The owner replied to all of my initial telephone questions in a very straight-forward and professional manner. - Once we set up a time for a site inspection to develop the bid, the owner arrived promptly. The initial site inspection included having me walk the property to point out my specific concerns as well as ask any questions. The detailed inspection was quite thorough and involved investigating all of my concerns and identifying some unique features of my particular roof. - The quote was provided immediately after the end of the inspection - in writing. The owner fully explained the specifics of the quote, including unique features, materials options, estimated time-frame, and pricing. In order to assess work quality and color options, the owner also provided my with locations of previous roofs that the firm had completed. - After reviewing bids from numerous other contractors, I selected Magnolia Roofing and Exteriors. Once again, the owner was very prompt in returning my call and arrived promptly to finalize the contract - in writing. Copies of all applicable insurance policies were provided prior to beginning of the project - this is something that the owner brought up without my having to ask for copies. - Initial scheduling of the project was done with consideration to my personal schedule. And when a change needed to be made due to weather conditions, the owner communicated with me well in advance to re-schedule. I was kept informed throughout the entire project. - The work itself started right on time. The entire crew were courteous and professional during the entire time they were at my home. Daily work site clean up was very thorough. Again, the owner was on-site at various times throughout the project to provide me with work status, discuss issues identified, and to answer my questions. The project was completed in the original estimated time-frame. - Overall, Magnolia Roofing and Exteriors, the owner, and the entire crew earned the ratings that I've noted - straight A's! From start to finish this was a wholly professional and pleasant experience. The pricing was fair and reasonable for the amount of work and quality of materials I chose - certainly well within the range of other quotes that I obtained for this project. The project was completed for the original quoted bid...no hidden surprises. The initial deposit amount (1/3 of quote) is very reasonable - lower than deposit amounts required by some other contractors. This firm has a variety of payment options available and the owner immediately provided written receipts for all payments and an overall invoice at the completion of the project. I will certainly recommend this firm to anyone with similar project needs; and other home owners in our area should include this firm when obtaining competitive bids for their roofing needs.

The first visit with David went well. I wanted a certain look. I sent a picture of the style roof I wanted on July 20, but never heard back from him. I don’t know if his company is capable of installing a metal roof. I was hoping to get pictures from him on styles of roofs I may like.

Everyone told me that home repair companies would likely be taking only big roofing jobs after Hurricane Zeta hit New Orleans and that I might have to wait a month or longer to replace a single missing shingle that blew off during the Category 2 hurricane. While it definitely doesn’t meet the definition of a “big job,” even a single missing shingle can result in potentially significant (not to mention expensive) water damage inside the home the next time it rains. So, we called our go-to home-repair company, One Man and A Toolbox, the Monday after the hurricane. It isn’t often that I leave friends slack-jawed but that’s just what happened when I informed them that One Man and a Toolbox was sending one of their experienced workers (Henry) out to repair our roof the very next day (Tuesday). Henry not only repaired the roof shingle in question but also fixed another errant shingle he spotted while up on our roof. Total cost: $80. We are so grateful to One Man and a Toolbox for their amazing customer service and professional quality work — especially after a hurricane. This company is a class act. If it sounds like I’m a happy (and loyal) customer, you would be absolutely correct.

This was an amazing experience. As a first-time homebuyer, I was extremely nervous due to the cost of replacing a roof. Sunlight Contracting was not only super easy to work with and incredibly professional, but well-priced, especially for the job. They showed up on a Monday and finished that same day, replacing my crumbling shingles with architectural shingles on a 2,800 square foot roof. And they did it in just about 8 hours. Incredible. Ira kept me apprised of everything throughout the process and there were no surprises. His team even cleaned up almost every bit of scrap. They even cleaned up some messes I had left in the yard, and swept my back deck. I will definitely be calling Ira and his team at Sunlight Contracting for more work in the future!

IBOS did a professional job in a timely manner. They took care to protect my property and did a good job of cleaning up each day and at the end of the job

Repairman arrived on schedule, selected replacement shingles to match existing type and shade and installed roofing patch material, then installed replacement shingles. He also asked if the work met my approval and if I had any questions. He was polite and professional and promptly started work on the roof. I was satisfied with the repair and indicated that to him. I also indicated that if/when I needed roof services, I would contact Perdomo. There is no leakage at the repaired location and we are comfortable with the Perdomo's services.

The company came promptly to survey damage & secure roof. A crew came to complete job in a few days. Workers were competent and pleasant.

IBOS replaced the roof on my home.I had started the project myself after hurricane Katrina and was moving very slowly by myself. I finally decided to have the rest done professionaly. They replaced the parts of the roof that I hadn't done yet and also repaired some minor structural components damaged by the storm. I had some shingles left over from my own attempt and the crew chief Todd Cole was very good at working with me to do exactly what I needed to have done and also to not do some of the things I would do myself to finish up the trim work. They were prompt and finished the job in a very timely manner. Other than a very few scattered nails left on the ground here and there (I have lots of pets), the cleanup was very good. Their estimate was very close and only varied because of the structural repairs and the left over shingles I wanted them to use were too old and would not be reliable. The additional costs were very reasonable. They were educational as well as professional. I would definately reccomend them.
