Mel's Roofing

So fortunate to find Mels Roofing. He was courteous. His wife had the best customer service and Mel the owner was on the job. That is not what other places offered. Our roof is beautiful, affordable and i felt so comfortable with his work and the people he employs. Best roofer in town- consistent and worth it.

Mel was very pleasant, checked out the roof, took pictures of damage and showed them to me, and then quoted me a price. Just a few days later he came and repaired the roof, and in addition, left the rest of the pack of shingles for me to save in case of future damage. I was very pleased with the job and his professionalism. I felt the price was reasonable.

Mel was exceptionally responsive after the recent wind storm. He came out and did emergency repairs on the roof, and then provided a written estimate for replacement of the entire roof. His prices are fair and reasonable and he provides a high quality of service. Highly recommend.

The process took a little longer than I anticipated, but, it was more than worth it. Mel and his crew do a superb job. This is the 2nd roofers we have hired in Anchorage and Mel's work and attention to detail was far superior.

Called Mel's Roofing, within a day or two was at the property and provided an estimate.  I had called and recieved one other estimate from a different company.  I decided to use Mel's roofing because he returned calls promptly, was professional, patient and seemed knowledgealbe when answering our questions.   In addition, we felt his estimate was very fair and was slightly lower than the other i had received.  
He provided a scheduled date (about a week away), the work was done as scheduled.

I am very pleased with my beautiful new roof! I am so glad I chose him to replace my roof, he is very professional, punctual, knowledgable, and all around just a nice guy. After the job was done, he left my place clean as a whistle!!

Mel and his crew removed old shake roof, cleaned up and disposed off the mess, installed new composite shingles and trim and left a beautiful roof. We are totally pleased with the service, the timeliness and resulting product. A very professional job and a pleasant experience. Thanks

The crew was efficient and job site was kept picked up at all times. While they are not always the least expensive, I do think they are among the best roofing companies in Alaska.

They did an excellent job.

After a few follow-up calls, I was able to get them to call me back. Honorable people who showed up as promised (huge). Workmanship appeared fine and the level of care very good. They made this job a priority when it happened and were not constantly pulling people on and off to get the work done. Same work crew from start to finish. Keep the site clean. Owner was involved to a large extent, which was very helpful.
They do not do credit cards! So, if flight miles are more important than the quality of the work, you may need to reconsider. I was very happy with the experience. Nice to work with. I would highly recommend.

My wife uses Mel regularly for her real estate clients. He is very honest and professional. Because of this, he is very busy. His response time was good considering the volume of business he does. He gets our highest recommendation.

They did it all to code and reinstalled Direct TV Dish and wiring.

Outstanding. A neighbor (who is also a property manager) said we had the best roofer in town. We agree 100%!
We solicited roofing bids in the fall of 2012. Mel was the only person to actually get on top of the roof and look around. He also provided a detailed and complete bid showing what work would be done, materials to be used, etc. Based upon how thorough his bid was, the fact that he actually got on the roof to look at it, was competitive in his pricing, seemed to be very knowledgeable, and had a good rating on Angie's List, we decided to lock in our roof for the spring of 2013.
Mel kept us in the loop on when he would start the work. When there was a delay in finishing his prior project (due to the big snowfall in mid-May), he called to let us know our start time would slip a few days. When he was on his way to the job on the first day, he called ahead of time to say he was on his way. Mel was excellent in keeping us updated.
Each day he and his crew showed up at 8 am sharp. The crew was made up of clean cut, polite, professional young men. We were impressed. It was refreshing. They worked hard the entire day. In the evenings, they cleaned up the drive way to get up as many nails as possible. We were so impressed with how thorough and proficient Mel and his crew were. They were a delight to have around. We never heard one grumble, no fussing, no complaints, etc. The only way to describe it as refreshing to have such nice guys working on the project.
Whenever there was a challenge with removing shingles or flashing around satellite dishes, Mel would let us know and would check to make sure the satellite was working ok. If he saw any glitches or anything that could make progress a bit slower, he let us know immediately. We felt he was very good at communicating the status of the project and in keeping us informed.

Over the first weekend, the old shingles were almost all off, but Mel had put up tarps/plastic to help prevent any leaks if the weather turned bad. We did have a big rain storm on Sunday morning, but at 8:30 am, Mel called to let us know he was outside and going up on the roof to check to make sure everything was ok, asked if we had seen any problems, and said to call if there were any leaks or problems. We were very appreciative and it showed how much attention Mel puts into his projects and the consideration for his customers.
After the roof was finished, Mel came out a couple of times to just check and make sure all was satisfactory. We asked him to hand tab a few shingles on the ridge cap that looked like they hadn't sealed properly and Mel gladly took care of them. Mel took care of anything we mentioned and did so with a smile.
We have only had a small rainfall since the roof was replaced and have not seen any problems thus far. The end of next winter will probably be the test when the snow melts off the cathedral ceiling. We don't expect any problems. The work was exceptional and the flashing work far superior to what we previously had.
We would highly, highly recommend Mel's Roofing. From what we observed, this is a company of integrity. We were really glad to have found his company on Angie's List!

Excellent and timely work, and assistance in choosing the right product for our roof. Also, kept the work site very clean. We are very pleased with the final product.

Overall experience was super.
1. I contacted Mel who answered immediately.
2. We schedule an appointment several days out.
3. We touched base to confirm on the day of the appointment.
4. We met at the house (as I work).
5. He met my son and me and quickly started his work.
He knows what he is doing. And is courteous and professional in his manner. Sheer pleasure.
Thank you!

Two employees from "Mel's roofing" came and did an excellent job.

Sometimes roofing companies shy away from small jobs, not this one. Because they were so great I am recommending them to anyone who will listen!

He got the job done real fast. The only thing I didn't like is that he didn't call before he arrived. He just showed up and climbed onto the roof. He surprised me with the noises on the roof. He didn't call first. He said he would but didn't do it.

They did a pretty good job. Everything they did was done really well and it looks good.

Mel showed up on time for his appointment. He was very thorough, courteous, and professional about educating me about roofing, and the job I wanted done. He arranged for an insulating contractor to come out and look in my attic to evaluate what I needed for insulation. He made all those arrangements. After he looked at everything, he decided I needed the basic roof replacement for my immediate needs. He got the bid back quickly. He got the job done very quickly and competently. In the process, one of their workers stumbled and drop a nail gun and damaged my sheetrock. The next day, Mel called someone to get it fixed. Mel did everything he could to make it right. One small thing is that his crew didn't run a magnet around to pick up staples. When I called Mel about it, he came out personally the next day and took care of it. I would recommend this company to others.

Mel was quick to respond to my concern of water leaking in at window. The day after being contacted, he shoveled snow of the roof in the area of concern.

I phoned and left a voice mail around midnight and was called first thing in the morning around 9ish. Very prompt. (I also left a message with a big co. that had a fancy website and they never returned my call) SO i was happy that he called right away. He came out, looked at the problem and said he would have the issue resolved right away. Within half an hour of starting he was done. Basically he took a hammer to the ice around my vent pipe on the roof to keep it from forming a dam that was holding back the water that as melting. No more water around my vent pipe. A little pricey for 1/2 of work. $150... but hey...i wasnt getting up on my roof to knock the ice off around the pipe and confirm there was no damage to the vent pipe, heh... so got a B on price but an A on everything else. If I need any roof work done in the future im calling Mel. I can't say enough how impressed i was with the quick call back and him showing up right away. Great service.

It was good.

I would give them A's. They were great.

Mel is very professional with attention to detail. Although one area where the roof lost shingles cannot be seen from the road, he ordered shingles to match what I have. Even got me some extra shingles as the ones I have are not usually stocked. Roof have gone through 2 more wind storms and have held without issues. The lady that runs the office is very nice too. I called on a Sunday intending to just leave a message but she was in the office and answered the call rather than let it go to voicemail.
