"We certainly appreciate your kind words and your satisfaction with the work we performed. Thank you very much, it is what we strive for with each and every job."
"This roof replacement was performed in the fall of 2011 and reported in the spring of 2014. Our recollection is that after we removed the existing old roof we found a very large sag in the substrate. Upon inspection it was discovered that when the house had been originally built the framing was not to code. The extra costs incurred was for structural over-framing by a separate contractor that had to be brought in to reinforce the structure prior to us being able to install the new roof. I'm sorry [member name removed] feels this was avoidable as there was no way for us to know that the roof structure had not been built correctly. Unfortunately we are not able to plan for hidden conditions that show up after the original roof is removed. We did have a small leak between the time the carpenters finished their work and we installed the new roof which we responded to immediately."
The work was done in a professional manner. Minor deficiencies were corrected promptly the next day.
When the guys showed up, this is how it went from start to finish:
The guys get out and greet me, courteous fellows, and went up on the roof. I follow them. They look around and tell me that THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PATCH THE ROOF (which as you will recall was my main objective that day) because it was damaged in too many areas and will need to be totally replaced. He told almost verbatim: "Don't worry, I will write this up as an estimate and you will not be charged for this service call since we did nothing." They then left. A total of about 15 minutes from start to finish.
The rain poured off and on (and into my house) for a week as I waited for the estimate. Finally I called and inquired about it and they did send it. It was high and I got a few more estimates and went with Premier Roofing who was $2000.00 cheaper and highly rated on Angie's List. (I'll be reviewing them when the job is done).
I initially disregarded the bill from Earhart when I first received it in the mail thinking it was some mistake, but when I received a collection call I explained to them the situation almost exactly as was explained here whereupon I was told: "I told you it would be $300 when you called for service work" I responded: "They did no work!" I was then told about the cost of fuel and man hours etc. About them having to leave another job (in the pouring rain mind you) to make the call. I paid them, but I feel that the way I was handled was dishonest. If the men on the 'job site' could not level that what they had done should be considered work worthy of the pay then what am I paying for?
Judge for yourself, I've been wrong before. This is in fact how I was handled.
"All customers are informed of our $300.00 service call minimum. This is a flat fee for us to send out a 2-man crew with a truck, tools and material for the first hour. The service call fee is charged whether we are able to patch and repair a leak or even it turns into an investigation situation where we find plumbing or siding or whatever other reason is causing the leak. Warranties are not provided unless it is for a re-roof or new roof. We do not offer free service calls and are not aware of other companies that do. When the Patch and Repair Crew arrived at the home, the crew and homeowner looked at the roof and realized any repairs would supersede the $300.00 minimum since the roof was in such ill repair. At that point, Earhart Roofing offered to give a complimentary re-roof estimate which the homeowner agreed to. We provided an estimate for a re-roof and let the customer know that if he opted to accept the proposal the $300.00 service call would be waived. After trying to collect the original invoice over a month after billing, we verbally offered to split the bill which did not even cover our costs. The customer agreed and paid $150.00 not $300.00."
This all started due to a leak at the front of my (mobile) home, which caused damage to the ceiling. I had a torch down done by another provider, which stopped the leak, and was informed the overall condition of the roof was very poor. I was told not to let anyone walk on the roof it was so bad. I forget the exact date I contacted Earhart. My information was taken and I had a proposal a little over a week later . Work started a few days after my acceptance.
The crew arrived at 8am at my home. They worked steadily from the time they started and finished the job around 2pm.
The foreman diid speak to me because the vent above the water heater was apparently not anchored properly and there was some rot. He said I would need to have a plumber fix that. I appreciated his letting me know about this problem. He also took a moment to answer a question about maintenance, specifically snow removal.
I am very happy with the overall experience with this company. I would contact them again for any roof work I would need done.
"We received a call from [member name removed] on August 22nd about a roof leak down a beam in her house. We explained to [member name removed] that we have a minimum $300.00 service call fee which gives her two men for up to one hour each and the roofing materials. If it takes longer than an hour there is a 75.00 per man hour fee and there may be extra materials charges involved. She agreed to this. The next day we sent two experienced journeymen roofers to her home. Our employees met with [member name removed], set up the ladder and inspected the roof where the leak was coming into the house. They discovered what they thought was the problem and sealed the chimney. We do not go into people’s homes to check if the leak has stopped as it always takes a few hours for the it to stop because the water has to get out of the system; meaning the framing members, insulation, vapor barrier, ect. The leak obviously did stop because it has rained nearly 5 inches between 08/23/2013 and 08/11/2013 (in fact NOAA says that this is the third most rainy stretch of weather since they started keeping track of rainfall) and we did not receive a single call from [member name removed] during that time. When she did call yesterday she asked if we warranty our patches and repairs and stand behind our work. We explained to her that if we put on a new roof we will provide a five year workmanship warranty (industry standard is two years), and that if it leaks we will chase that leak at no charge to the homeowner. We explained that we cannot warrant other peoples work. If patches always worked nobody would ever need a new roof! We did tell [member name removed] that there would be an additional charge for going back. We have always made allowances if a patch fails due to the fact we are trying to seal to old roofing, old paint, old siding, and old metal and always do so at a reduced rate. One other thing I will mention is that [member name removed] has still not paid her original invoice which we mailed to her on August 26th, 2013. Maybe it is time for an Angie’s customer list!

Two workers showed up the next morning to see what color shingles I had. They went to buy matching shingles and returned quickly. They got to work quickly and even replaced shingles that had blown off in a previous storm. They were done and gone before I knew it. They cleaned up after themselves and were very courteous. I will use them again if I need roofing services.
The day was extremely hot but the crew did not slack off and worked at a steady pace throughout the day. The only break they took was for lunch which was at a logical place to stop. As a homeowner I was very impressed with their work ethic and insisted on providing water and refreshment throughout the hot day. I had to throw the water up to them as they did not want to stop work to come and get it.
The crew was friendly, clean-up was thorough and they left out yard as clean as it was when they arrived.
All in all i am completely satisfied with the quality of work and the reasonable price and their honesty in not doing unnecessary work.
I highly recommend Earhart Roofing, especially for hot roof systems. I would definitely contract them again.
"I'm sorry you feel we quoted you inferior shingles. We do not agree with your assessment. While there are more expensive shingles available we think the Owens Corning architectural laminate shingles with the sure nail technology is the best shingle available."
Overall, an A rating.
Crew showed up about 3pm on 6/12, removed the ridge vents, installed the new shingle over ridge vent system, and hauled off the old ridge vents and were gone by 430pm. Did an excellent job in cleaning up, did a good roof inspection, and were very friendly and communicative. Would definitely recommend Earhart Roofing to anybody needing work done.
