Good service. They always showed up on time. They returned my calls in a timely manner. Price was higher than other quotes I got, but the service was excellent and the project was done correctly the first time, so it was worth it.

The work went very well. The contractor sent a double crew who arrived at 7:30 am and completed the roof replacement by 7:30 pm. During the morning of roof replacement we found out that a third bathroom fan did not have duct work and was not vented through the roof. The contractor obtained the need supplies and the installation of needed duct work and new roof vent was completed that day.
Description of Work: The contractor replaced the existing roof shingles and the skylight for the master bathroom on our house, and installed the required ductwork and roof vents for fans in three bathrooms. The original house contractor had vented the bathroom fans into the house attic and not through the house roof. The contractor also had to replace some defective plywood panels on the roof.

The team was incredibly responsive and professional. They showed us "before and after" pictures during the entire roofing process which was very helpful. Their services were top notch and their fees were very reasonable. I would definitely recommend Affordable Roofing to anyone who needs work done on their roof. It was a very positive experience.

The owner who came for the estimate was right on time, very efficient and very good at explaining his company, their experience, the problem on my roof and what would be done to fix it. He surprised me when he said the company did not accept credit cards, but he explained that the three owners did not think it was fair to increase prices the three percent needed to pay the credit card company. I let him get out of the house without setting a date for the work--he said they'd call. I was planning to call one week after the estimate. Instead, they called early (7 a.m.) that morning to tell me they could work me into the schedule that day. I was amenable, and within an hour two trucks pulled up. The men were friendly and among the happiest workmen I have ever met. They let me know there were carpenter ants in the wood and applied bug killer (which I bought). Half way through, the general contractor showed up to check on the work and let me know that the work would be done by 3--and they finished an hour early. The work was done in one day and just before a spring rainstorm
Description of Work: The previous owner had a (badly done) extension added to the house behind the garage. The addition had a flat roof that adjoined the peaked roof of the garage, and a leak developed at the juncture, leaking water into the ceiling of the addition, the garage and my kitchen pantry.

I experienced water leaking in a family room with a cathedral ceiling. Tom came out and thoroughly checked the roof and attic. He determined the problem was due to condensation as the roof was in good shape. He made some recommendations for adjusting the humidifier. He also noted that a second floor skylight was improperly installed and made some recommendations for that. I had a good experience with Affordable Roofing. There was no unnecessary work proposed. Tom gave me the impression he was here to solve my problem not make money off me. I would use this company in the future and recommend them to anyone I know.

Shingles had blown off the roof after a high wind storm. Our agent had stated that repair work and caulking were needed-probably around $500. Tom came out and inspected the roof. He told us that he had already caulked (before we told him) and the problem had been shingles that were not properly nailed down. He continued to thoroughly inspect our roof and stated everything looked great except for the one area. He came in half of the cost that our agent had quoted! Not only that, he is a nice, trustworthy man who enjoys what he does for a living. I will pass his name on to everyone I know!

Called to repair a leak that I thought was caused by a flashing issue. They did a complete inspection of the roof, quickly identified the source of the leak and required repairs (not the issue I suspected), as well as identified and repaired several other areas of concern as a preventive measure. Also cared for some cosmetic roof issues and minor siding and gutter issues. Removed an incorrectly installed exhaust fan and added appropriate ventilation. They were able to schedule an estimate within 3 days of my initial call, then completed the work within 2 weeks. It was almost a full days of work for 2 people, both of whom came out to do the original estimate. Appreciated that they were not trying to sell me a new roof and focused on taking care of my concern and potential issues.

We had Affordable come out to give us an estimate for a complete tear-off and re-roof. They were nice on the phone, accommodating when scheduling a time, and prompt in showing up for the estimate. I really liked the guy who came out and talked with us, he impressed us with his knowledge and attitude. Affordable has done houses all over our neighborhood, mostly historic houses like ours, and they look great. Its a big bonus for them that I can look out windows on three sides of my house and see their handiwork that looks so nice and our neighbors say is great. Really, the biggest reason we could not go with Affordable is that in the end, they weren't so affordable for us. I know that if we had chosen them, we would have gotten top quality work done right - but we just had to go with the company who quoted us several thousand less, and cross our fingers that everything turns out ok...

I called the company to schedule an appointment to have them inspect my roof and give me an estimate. Tom showed up on time and explained that houses as old as mine (7-8 years old) start experiencing leaks especially around the rubber gasket that surrounds the roof vent pipes. He climbed up on the roof and took some pictures of a vent pipe that I suspected was the cause of the leak, then he proceeded to inspect the rest of the roof for any potential problems. He found a crack in the seal around the suspect vent pipe and caulked it thoroughly. He then caulked around a few other problem areas of the roof. When he climbed down, he showed me the pictures of the crack in the rubber gasket and explained that the rubber starts to shrink and crack after several years. I asked him how much I owed him and he refused to take any payment despite my insistence. I would definitely use Affordable Roofing again and would recommend them for your roofing needs. I was pleasantly surprised!

Through our untrained eyes, we could tell we had a major problems. The roof was actually sagging in spots, we knew we had problems with proper roof ventilation & found a chronic leak in one bedroom. We had heard about Affordable Roofing through a friend who had used them years ago to solve some serious roofing issues on their home. The friend had raved about the quality of their work, their knowledge, & their professionalism. I called Affordable Roofing just to ask for some advice & a referral for my area (as they are out of my service area). One of the owners of Affordable Roofing, Bill Wade, came to my aid. He came to our home and personally addressed the problems we were having with such knowledge and expertise that we trusted him instantly. He offered the services of Affordable Roofing to complete the work we desperately needed. He worked in tandem with our insurance company to be sure the work we needed was a part of our coverage. In fact our insurance company was so impressed with Mr. Wade that they asked him if he would help them as their representative as they work with some of their claims. I must interject something very important here. There are many roofing companies calling themselves "Affordable Roofing". But there is only one Affordable Roofing as far as we are concerned. Make sure you are dealing with Affordable Roofing in business since 1980 & based in Aurora, Illinois. We had some trouble finding the correct Affordable Roofing. Ask to see the list of customers that this company has serviced commercially & residentially. It is an impressive list indeed. Mr. Wade addressed the level of insulation in our attic & made recommendations, corrected the ventilation problems, & solved a chronic leak in one of our roof's valleys. While this situation was taking place, my husband was working out of state and was only home a few days a month. I will never be able to tell you how my husband and I appreciated the attention Mr. Wade gave our home & our concerns. He would communicate with my husband and relay information regarding the repair needed and the efforts with the insurance company. You don't find this kind of service in the typical business world. The crew members of Affordable Roofing were a great team. They completed the work just as Mr. Wade had promised. Mr. Wade even made a trip to check on the progress as the roof was being replaced. Affordable's crew treated our home & vegetation with great care. They left all of the yard in pristine shape removing all the old roof debris. This was a great service. We highly recommend Affordable Roofing!!
Description of Work: We required a complete tear off and replacement of our roof. We were told by one roofing company that there was nothing wrong with our roof. Several other roofing companies we interviewed could not tell us how to address the problems we were having with proper ventilation in the attic & a chronic leak in one bedroom. Through the recommendation of adding proper insulation to the attic & the new roof by Affordable Roofing, we have seen a great savings in our energy bills. We also added new gutters & vinyl wrapped soffit & fascia. It has been 10 years and our home looks brand new. Other homes in the neighborhood of similar style are showing major signs of aging. Affordable Roofing was not the cheapest bid. In fact they were the most expensive. We do think you get what you pay for & in this instance, we needed an expert with the ability to solve problems, not someone knocking on doors looking for their next job with a magnet roofing sign on their truck. We received a tremendous value for our roofing dollar on this very large investment.

Great! I called on a Monday and we scheduled service on Thursday. I received a follow up call the day before to confirm our appointment, very professional in the way they handled the appointment. Tom came out and checked my roof and found 2 areas that needed to be fixed. He needed to put more flashing down in one area that didn't have it, and then he caulked the other problem area. Explained everything in detail, took pictures of the problem areas so he could show me without having to climb up on my roof. The best part was he didn't charge for the work. I offered to pay, but he said it wasn't a big deal and he could knock it out in 30 minutes. Did a great job, and will definitely use if I have any roofing problems in the future.

Tom arrived right on time. He took a look at the damage, gave an estimate to repair it that day, then started work. In 2 hours from the time he arrived, he had the repairs complete, the damaged shingles cleaned up, and fixed a small leak around the chimney. He was professional, polite, and explained everything he was doing. I will definitely use them again, and tell anyone who needs service on their roof to first check Angie's List, then go with Affordable Roofing.

The gentleman that came to provide the estimate was professional and thorough. They sent a formal estimate. They took pictures on the roof and shared those pictures with me to show what needed to be done. They added extra value by identifying a few other things that needed done as well. They executed the job very well on the day it was scheduled and cleaned up very well after themselves.

Description of Work: Tom came out when expected, to give an estimate on some possible patching of a leak in the roof of our garage. After inspecting the problem, he saw it was a quick fix with a little caulk. Tom took care of the problem on the spot and said to keep an eye on it. He wouldn't take any money for the minimal repair.

Up until that point, we were happy with this company and they were definitely in the running for the job however, they never called back with a bid. When I contacted them about it and left a message, they did not return my call and never gave us any explanation for the sudden turn around. One week they leave their materials, even coming out in the middle of a thunderstorm to do so and the next week they don't even contact us to let us know the status? We weren't happy, needless to say.
Description of Work: We needed a new roof on our home which was a large job of about $25000 worth of work.

First off, the roof looks great and works great. That being said: I spoke with the office a couple times about the timing and the colors of roof and gutters and then scheduled the chimney person right before. The day after the chimney repair no roofers showed up. Turns out they were coming late the following week (?) which ended up overlapping with our floors being refinished. Awkward, but it worked out. Hanging the gutters it was pointed out that one tree was too close and could cut they cut it back. I didn't quite realize the ramifications and now the left half of the two story tree is still sitting in a large pile in our yard awaiting brush pick-up five weeks later. The tree had issues before, I'll grant that, the issues have now become more interesting. Finally, the porch roof repair must have involved changing the slope because now between the porch roof and the siding is gap up to a couple inches that looks like a hole. There's black flashing in there but it looks like a hole.
Description of Work: Tear off and reroof of small, steep sloped roof including back and front porches, installation of new attic fan and new gutters. We also requested soffits. We didn't end up getting soffits. They were under the impression that we were going to reside the house and get soffits then. Frankly I would love to get new siding but that remains a financial fantasy at the moment. During the estimate they also pointed out that our chimney was in dire need of repair and suggested we get that done right before the reroof. We took the suggestion and got the chimney repaired by a chimney person.

Mike Hess came out on time to assess the project and prepare an estimate. He provided a written estimate/contract, and did so promptly and in good detail. He also provided me written proof of insurance and workers' compensation documents. The repair team arrived as scheduled, were very polite and knowledgeable, and did all of the repairs in a quality fashion. They also addressed other issues that they discovered during the repair. They cleaned up every bit of material either removed from the house or created during their repairs. Affordable Roofing is professional, dependable, and does very high quality work. I would definitely recommend them and use them again.
Description of Work: Replaced shake roof over small room, added ice and rain barrier, repaired boards on eaves, did minor repairs to remaining shakes. They addressed an ongoing problem we had with an intermittent leak, identifying the problem area and fixing the cause.
