My only complaint is I am not sure what all he did. I never received an invoice or any paper stating roof conditionWe did talk on the phone and he said he caulked a crack on the roof. My tenant keeps asking me if the roofer told me about the problems other than the crack, he also metioned insulation coming through the wall inside the house.
Description of Work: I am not sure everything he did

An employee...J.D. showed up...as I said..without a ladder. I had one and he climbed up on my roof and pretty much told me I needed a totally new roof and he went on to say he would handle everything and bill my insurance, aerial photos and the whole deal. He didn't do any repair at all. I was not at all comfortable with J.D. so next day called the owner who came right out....told me I did not need a whole new roof and told me what I needed. I liked the owner but would not hire for repairs as J.D. would be doing the job. He seemed to me to be hustling the insurance companies and did not have my best interest in mind. Very full of himself.
Description of Work: I had to call the provider after no response for over a week. Turned out owner was out of town family emergency. He sent his employee out and he showed up without a ladder to inspect my roof. I purchased the deal from Angies list for roof inspection, estimate and minor repair.

The service for the big deal from Burt Harper's Custom Design was great. They did a great job. They were very helpful. They worked with the insurance company and did a good quality job. They are very professional and very knowledgeable. I am actually going to use them for some other work as well. The insurance company paid for it. They worked with the insurance company for the price. They worked that deal for me. In fact I am going to use them. They do all forms of construction work and things. I am going to use them again this year.
Description of Work: Burt Harper's put a roof on my summer house. They came and did a roof inspection for me and that was the deal that I bought. Then they found out that I did have hail damage and so they put a roof on for me. It was before the winter, in the fall.

I contacted Burt and JD on Sat. Jan 17th. JD was unable to come out and check our roof, he was booked for the day. Burt was willing to come out on Sunday but I didn't want to take his only day off. It wasn't raining and therefore I didn't feel it was that critical. Burt said he would come out Monday afternoon, after 3pm. My husband stayed home Monday. He never showed on Monday. I never recieved a call. My husband stayed home on Tuesday. Never called nor showed. Wednesday morning I called him. Basically his response was "oh, I thought someone called you". He did not seem the least bit apologetic. In my opinion, if you own and run the company, maybe you should do a bit more than "THINK" someone called. Maybe you should 'KNOW'.
Description of Work: No call/no show

Eluded to dishonest dealings with the insurance company to get it paid for.
Description of Work: The roof maint package for $100 consisted of about 2 mins of a guy walking around on my roof, fixed one weak spot and then told me I needed a whole new roof.

Description of Work: they came to in theory to do the work as described in the coupon I bought from Angie's List. Nothing was done except that they tore off some of the painted border on the side of the roof presumably to prove to me that I needed to replace the entire roof. They talked back and forth about the work to be done and how it would be cheaper for me if they came on a Saturday and did the work without involving the company. Then they left promising to call with a quote the following week. I have not heard from them. This was a real rip off. I would never trust them to do any work for me. I assume that these two work for the company and therefore represent the practices of the company.

I apologize for the inconvenience that you have had with our company , the problem with contact is I don't have the correct phone number for you and the multiple notes and business cards left in your front door were unanswered or not responded to. However if you still need my roofing services on your dilapidating shed ,I will be more than happy to provide the services that the company does with/in contract. That contract work is separate from the "inspection package" that you had purchase form angie"s list. sorry for the confusion JD, Burt Harpers Custom Design

We interfaced with J.D. From first contact with this company we felt comfortable. Despite a few postponements of the repair job because of rain (difficult to repair a roof when it is raining), when a good weather report emerged J.D. was on the spot. He explained what was necessary, he gave us a time the crew would arrive and the materials that would be needed. Crew arrived on schedule and didn't depart until the job was complete. It took most of the day. It is impossible to know how the repair sustains bad weather until we have some, however we are confident, based on J.D's knowledge and professionalism, character and guarantee, that should the roof require further attention (repaired area) he will fix it without charge. We are eager to recommend this company to our friends.

Description of Work: Our roof was replaced and corresponding repair were completed. Our new roof looks great and we are confident of the quality. J.D., the lead person and contact, was very accessible, prompt and professional. He met with our insurance adjuster during the inspection which made the claims process work better (plus we have a good insurance company with Liberty). Weather and some vacation time caused the replacement to take longer than planned and hoped, yet it was well managed so weather, rain and wind, did not cause any damage or issue whip the roof was being replaced. They also do well in keeping the job site (our house and yard) clean as they clean up every day and a final major clean up at the end. We did have to remind them a couple of times on the daily clean up, but it was fairly minor. Burt Harper's is a general contracting business which is good because we will contact them in the near future to quote and, very potentially, complete other significant projects at our house.

[member name removed]. Sorry I was unable to help you with your roof problem, Please understand that due to the top quality and resulting prices of materials that my company uses, it would be impossible for us to be the "cheapest" company available and maintain our quality of work standard. Thank you for the purchase of the roof inspection through Angie's list however I regret that my proposal to repair the damage to your roof after inspection was unaccepted by you. However if in the future if you still need top quality assistance with your deteriorating roof conditions please call again. Good Day Sir .

Description of Work: I had roof damage after heavy rain causing the ceiling in the guest room to collapse, leaving a large hole and debris all over the floor. I called Burt Harpers Custom design Thursday afternoon, Friday at 8am JT (One of the owners) was at my door, he inspected the roof and damage in the room. He was very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. He called the insurance adjuster and discussed the extensive damage. He dealt with the insurance company from start to finish. Burt Harper replaced the roof and did all the inside repairs perfectly. Burt Harper Design is the definition of: “Integrity and expertise.” They did all they said they were going to do perfectly and so much more. The workers cleaned at the end of every day, and they were polite and respectable. Burt and JT were here often during the repairs. They answered calls promptly. This is the best experience that I have ever had with any repair situation.

Burt Harpers Custom Design is the best. !! They are the most professional folks and yet they had such a good ole boy feeling about them. Very trustworthy people. J. D. is the foreman and he was the tops....he communicated step by step of what they were doing. They did run across some rotted wood on my roof area. Called me at work immediately and told me what they encountered and how much it would cost to replace the wood. Also coverd my gutters with screens to keep the leaves etc out at a most fair price. Plus they left me with a good amount of asphalt shingles for future if I should ever need them...the same batch so it would match my new roof. And when they were completed they did a final walk thru with me to make sure all was in good standing. And if I had any questions along the way they responded immediatley. I have a beautiful roof. I am most happy with this company and the folks who are a part of it. I have recommended them to friends, neighbors and folks I work with. They are the tops !!!

Burt Harper worked directly with our insurance company (The Hartford, a great insurance company) to get full reimbursement for all the damage. His crew did a great job and they were very careful with our home and property. There were a number of homes in our neighborhood with roof damage due to the hail storm. The difference between the job Burt's crew did on our house and the job done be other roofers on other homes in the neighborhood is like night and day. They used the best products and did an outstanding job. The roof looks better than new. Burt is a general contractor and he brought in great subcontractors to install the new air conditioner and do the painting.
Description of Work: Replaced roof, air conditioner and other hail damage.

JD Harper, Burt's son, is a Marine (once a Marine, always a Marine). JD runs a crew that is tight, organized and efficient. They were respectful, and kept the work area clean. When they left in the evening, tools were organized and out of the way, neat and orderly. They were dodging the Monsoons, and kept us dry in spite of the active rain patterns this year. The overall experience was fabulous. The guys were great. We never had to worry about anything because the level of professionalism left us confident the job was being done with the utmost care and attention to quality.
Description of Work: The name on the card is actually "Burt" Harpers Custom Designs LLC Burt Harper prepared a report for our insurance company which was extremely helpful in the approval process for the claim. We added a few extras to the original plan after approval. Burt and his son have experience with construction as well as roofing. They replaced facing boards along the edge of the roof and the patio, repared the hole in the roof from the swamp cooler previously removed, installed vents to help with the heat in the attic, put architectural shingles (Timberline) on our roof, and had insulation blown into our attic, and painted the trim around the house.

I am not sure what he did, but I do know he took off the shingles, and he might have taken off the plywood too; they probably take off the plywood if it is necessary and replace it if it is damaged and leave those alone that are okay. He was very good and very knowledgeable. The roof was excellent. My husband was very satisfied. His responsiveness was good, but he was having other problems, which had nothing to do with the work though; however, he was attentive. He came when he said he would.
Description of Work: Burt Harper Roofing did the whole roof, and they even took out the shingles in October.
