G & G Roofing

Everything went perfectly. I called G&G and they were able to schedule an appointment to come look at the situation and give me an estimate within two days. George (Bud) arrived when he said he would, and looked both inside and on the roof to assess the situation. He took pictures on the roof to show me exactly what the problems were. He explained how he would fix the problems clearly. He also gave me a general assessment of the shape of the overall roof. He gave me the estimate before he left. Once I decided to go with G&G, I called to schedule the work, and they were able to shcedule me for that week (even despite the July 4th holiday). On the scheduled day, George and his crew arrived promptly and got to work. He oversaw the entire project, staying on site and participating in the work. He took before and after pictures and provided those to me by email. In addition to the skylights and fan fixes, they also put an aluminum paint coating on the roof, which helps protect the rubber and reflects sunlight. George and his five person crew were highly efficient, completing the work in about 3 hours. Since the work has been completed, we have had a storm with heavy rain and wind. We had NO LEAKS. I am very pleased with their work.

The work is very good. I doubt if the roofs will need any work for years. The team was skillful and worked together efficiently and cheerfully. The owners explained everything to me before and during the work. In addition, the "description of work to be performed" in the contract is detailed and comprehensive. The work is worth the price and I feel secure and happy with the result. I would definitely use G & G Roofing again and recommend them highly.

I contacted G&G and they were very responsive. On the day of the initial consultation, they made an inspection of the roof and offered an honest assessment of what I needed to have done. During the consultation, George Martin, Sr. asked how I heard about his company. He immediately offered me the Angie's List discount once I told him that I found his company using Angie's List. I was very glad that he asked since I completely forgot to mention how I found the company. On the day of the repair, G&G were prompt and got straight to work. They fixed the downspout and roof box gutter. They installed duraboard insulation to the entire front porch roof. They also installed a galvanized steel s*** stop to the perimeter of the front porch roof. They repaired several large holes and cracks on the main roof of the house. They coated the main roof of the house including flashing and firewalls with asphalt aluminum coating. G&G explained that this fix will help my energy bills especially during the hot DC summers. We had one of the first major thunderstorms of the Spring roll in last night and my front porch stayed completely dry. No leaks! Having the roofing issues resolved has been a relief. I'm very grateful to G&G and would recommend the company to a friend.

i got three estimates to repair a leak in one fo my skylights. Mr. Martin was extremely responsive and showed up to examine the roof within a day or two of my call. He was knowledgeable and had photographed the issues with all the skylights from the original installation, and also a few other problems he noticed at the fireplace and a seam. He provided a detailed bid that addressed all issues, but was still the lowest. I had a tiny leak a day or two after the repair, and Mr. Martin was back at the house as soon as the weather permitted and fixed that. It has been more than 60 days and i feel much better when we have a heavy rain.

I called G&G to request an estimate and got an appointment within a couple of days. Owner George Martin came to my house to provide an estimate. I'd gotten estimates from G&G and another company rated highly on Angie's list and chose to work with G&G because they provided the most thorough plan to fix my roof and at the lowest cost. G&G identified the big bubble full of water right above where I was getting leaks, which the other company overlooked, and G&G advised replacing my distressed shingled rear roof with more-appropriate modified roofing, whereas the other company advised simply sealing the existing roof's flashings. I was impressed by George's extensive knowledge of roofing and felt very comfortable that he knew how to do the job right. When G&G's estimate came in at the same cost as the competitor who'd proposed a less comprehensive repair plan, the choice to work with G&G was easy. George and his team completed the job just a few days after we signed the contract. George was on site with his team for the job. His company pays attention to quality; some examples of this: they selected good quality pressurized wood to replace the rotted out wood; they used a galvanized steel drip edge rather than the weaker aluminum; and they torched the flashings up further than the previous roofers had. When they made repairs to the main roof, they did an extremely thorough job; during the job they identified and sealed problem areas above and beyond those they?d committed to in their initial proposal. I was impressed by how much work they?d done, and they did it all for the price originally quoted. Since I am a relatively new home owner and no expert in roofing, I appreciated that George explained to me in detail how my roof was built, the problems it was facing, how he was fixing them, and how to maintain the roof long term. He met up with me after the job to update me on how the job had gone and show me pictures of the work that had been done. I definitely recommend this company and will use G&G again if I need roofing work in the future. G&G is an old-school roofing company with several generations of roofing experience, and they?ve kept their quality high and prices fair. They?ve worked on embassies but prefer smaller residential jobs. As a home owner, I?m glad they do.

G & G was quick and professional.

I called Mr. Martin and told him my problem. He was able to come out for an estimate the next day. He seemed very knowledgeable and confident that the work could be done in one day. Mr. Martin arrived ahead of time and he let me know exactly what his crew was doing and he even showed me the progress of the job. He also repaired a few things that they discovered while performing the repairs and fixed those as well. He also showed me before and after pictures and I was please with work. Mr. Martin was very friendly and professional and he really pays attention to detail and quality workmanship.

Great experience overall. G&G is a father and son owned operation, and I spoke with both of them on the phone at various times, but dealt with the younger George in person. Both were very friendly, professional, communicative and responsive. I got a very good vibe from them and when their quote came in for the exact same scope of work nearly $2K below another company (also highly rated on Angie's List), it seemed like a no-brainer to have them do the work. They performed the work just four business days after we made a verbal agreement, signed the contract and put down a deposit. The work looks great, from what i can see, and they helpfully showed me pictures before and after so I would know what we were talking about (the dormer parts of my roof aren't clearly visible from the ground). They really appear to be super-organized and professional. I recommend them highly.

G&G gave a good price, showed up on time, did the work on time and cleaned up. They even repaired an item that was not in their list of obligations and did that on time as well. I would recommend G&G for any job they take on. I plan to hire them for our next need. They know their business and have the best interest of the consumer in mind. Showed up ontime each time and did exactly what they said and waht was needed. Gideon Frishman

G&G Owner, George Martin, stopped by on Tuesday, 10/30, to follow-up on a phone call from the previous evening. Monday, 10/30, was the day of hurricane Sandy and our roof experienced some leaking through the drywall and recessed lighting. During our phone conversation on Monday, we explained the problem to George and he advised to poke a hole through the ceiling where the water was building up and place a bucket underneath. This worked well for us, allowing us to control the leak and avoid further water damage spreading over more of the drywall. On Tuesday, the next day, George came by with a coworker and identified a portion of the exterior roof as the likely culprit in causing the leak. He grabbed a ladder from the truck along with some type of waterproof sealant and applied it to the cracks/holes. Quick and easy for him; he didn't charge a thing, $0.00. I especially appreciate that he was riding around the neighborhood, making stops, within hours after the worst weather conditions passed. I would certainly recommend him in the future and plan on using him again as well.

G & G responded to our inquiry immediately and gave us the best bid whereas other the other bids we requested slowly trickled over many weeks. They were extremely flexible with the date as we had to reschedule a number of times to accommodate the insurance estimator. During Hurricane Sandy our ceiling appeared to start leaking, which I thought was the result of the roof leaking. I sent an email to George and his team and in no less than 3 hours they were at our house assessing the issue. As it turns out the roof was just fine - but our gutters were sagging as a result of siding work we had done. George and his team are honest, fair, and do a great job. I would use them again in a heartbeat and I highly recommend them to anybody!

I was very satisfied with the price and the work.

George and George were fantastic to work with. I made my determination to use them based solely on Angie's list reviews, and am delighted that I did. First and foremost, many roofers will not entertain repairs for a flat roof or make it seem like quite the issue to even consider repairs. Based on the other reviews, it was apparent that G&G had significant experience in this area and had even done work on the homes nearby to mine and had experience with other homes equally as old (100+ years). I knew when I purchased my home (through my home inspection) that I would likely need some minor repairs which is why I contacted G&G. George came out and walked the roof with me, giving me advice on patches and repairs needed before a leak ever occurs. Once George got up there to make those repairs and with the intent to coat the roof, he determined that it would be much more advantageous to replace the entire roof. He determined it was approximately 17 years old, and to do repairs for approximately $1500 would not justify the expense for only 3 more years of life. So, I went with the full roof replacement which will last 20 years. George came to the house to complete the total job within 4-5 days of our initial discussion. George could not have been more personable, professional, and patient - explaining to me several times exactly what repairs he planned to undertake. And, as he got involved in the project, he immediately identified any additional issues that required attention and incorporated them into the project. He ensured that as much as possible, he mitigated any low points on the roof to avoid water collecting in any particular areas. Additionally, I coated the roof with the aluminum (silver colored) roof coating to reduce the heat that would be generated in the house. I trust George's judgement implicity and really appreciate his insight and expertise. It is apparent he has been doing this for a Long time, and coupled with his father's experience (who worked jointly with him on the project), I was completely comfortable by the longevity of their business and their reputation. Without reservation, I would Definitely recommend using G&G for any roof repairs or replacement. You can take comfort in the quality of the workmanship and I have no doubt about any issues emerging, but, if they did.. I am confident that George would return to address them immediately.

I had a small leak that was causing water to spead on a top floor ceiling. 2 other contractors I contacted gave me estimates of the work to be performed which were either too extensive or bare minimal. George & his father arrived at the appointed time on Sat and gave me an appropiate estimate for required work. He did not try to upsell me (which I appreciated) and he gave a fair price for the work he was going to complete. I booked G & G for the job and they completed the work within the week on the scheduled day. 2 weeks later after inspecting the work I contacted George about a couple areas that weren't addressed to my liking and he repaired them both the next day and recoated the entire roof again just to be sure I was happy. I would use G & G again because they stand by their work and are thorough and fair.

George and George called back within hours of my first call and set an appointment to come out and take a look at the roof. I told George that I was getting other quotes, but by the time we were done speaking I knew I would hire them. I was leaving town and needed the work done before I left. We planned for the 20th or sooner in case of weather. George called me the 18th to confirm that the 19th would work, and he and his crew showed up on time, completed the work and locked the yard behind them. I returned home from a meeting to a finished roof and peace of mind.

Work was completed the Price: Quality: Responsiveness: Punctuality: Professionalism: receive all A's.

I would definitely recommend and use G&G home improvements again. My roof repair was estimated on a Saturday and completed the following Thursday in about hour and half timeframe. Mr. Martin was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. He was thorough in his explanation of what needed to be repaired and the method he would use.

G+G was on time for the estimate and job, responsive to phone calls, and thoroughly explained the work to be done. Their price was also very good. I would use them for future work.

Overall, it was a great and relaxing experience. They arrived on time for the initial consultation and estimate. Mr. Martin (Owner) and his son were very pleasant to talk to, they took time to inspect both roofs as well as the interior of the impacted condo units, they clearly explained the source of the leaking issue and how best to resolve it. I appreciated that they took time to conduct the initial consultation and estimate themselves, as oppose to sending employees that may do great work but are not comfortable with interacting and explaining the issue to a customer. They came out to complete the roofing job the day I offered the contract.In addition, they completed the job in less time than they had originally estimated. Again, Mr. Martin and his son came to the condo at the beginning of the job, which was performed by their team, as well as a the conclusion of the job. After the job was completed, it rained for 3 days in a row and the people that occupy the top floor condo units were happy to share that there were no more leaks.

G & G Home Improvements is a long-standing, family-owned business with excellent accountability, responsiveness, and quality and knowledgeable workmanship. We called them on a Thursday, and they offered to come and give us a free estimate the next day, which they did. They arrived promptly, with one of the business owners present. They gave us a detailed estimate for replacing our flat roof in NE DC, which had been patched and repaired in our almost 25 years in our home. They scheduled the work for the upcoming Monday, and arrived on time with a 4-man crew. One of the business owners was also on site supervising. Their crew was extremelhy hardworking and efficient, and the job was done easily in one day. The senior Mr. Martin, with whom we spoke, happily granted us the 10% Angie's List discount, and included an additional discount for immediate payment by check. We were very happy with G & G Home Improvements, and would use them again for other home improvement projects. They are extremely knowledgeable about roofing and gutters, etc., and the most efficient and affordable technologies and materials available. They are real professionals with great customer service and reliability. We recommend them highly.

He was very professional from giving a fair estimate and explaining the work that needed to be done to performing the services and ensuring I was happy with the results. While other roofers suggested a bigger job was necessary, he assured that his easier and less expensive solution would do the job and prevent future leaks. I felt very comfortable and well-informed throughout the process and feel confident that I got high quality professional service. He was punctual and made an effort to perform the job as soon as possible and did it all without entering the house to access the roof.

George took the time to provide me a detailed explanation of my options and in the end I opted to replace the slate with a high quality asphalt shingle. In addition, G&G recoated the flat portion of my roof and sealed all areas that entered the house. The work was scheduled and completed the day after I signed the contract and I still can’t get over how much better the house looks. My final recommendation - Don’t do a roof repair or replacement without calling G&G first. Get several estimates, and in the end, when you compare the value and quality of workmanship, I’m sure you’ll be singing their praises too.

Great! Last Friday George Martin came when he said he would to inspect the roof. He gave me an estimate on the spot and explained to me what he saw and how he suggested it be repaired. I agreed to the work on Tuesday, and since rain was coming in over the weekend he did the work on Wednesday, the next day. The process was easy, George told me everything he and his crew did, and the cost was excellent. Whenever I need my house roof dealt with I'll call George first.

I highly recommend G&G Home Improvements for roofing services. I have a remodeled row house in North East D.C. Most of the roof is new, but the turret is original and started to leak badly. I called several roofers highly rated on Angie's list, and G&G was the first to get back to me and schedule an inspection/estimate. They were at the house right on time within a few days to provide an estimate and started work the very next day (other roofers on Angie's couldn't schedule an appointment for weeks). George and team were very professional. They spotted several problem areas where the turret and flashing needed repair and were back the next day to fix the problems. It's rained heavily a couple times now and I'm happy to report no problems since the repair. Price seemed reasonable and I'm very satisfied to have the work completed.

We are very pleased with the work that was done. The pricing was fair and competitive with other contractors. Company was very courteous and responsive.
