M Walter Roofing Acquisition Corp

The roof is fine.

He said I can fix your roof, you have to pay me and buy the roofing paper. The price of the roof and dormer was over $10,000. I still have the receipt

The work itself was satisfactory, even though I now think the rep oversold the need.

WELL THE WORK WENT ON OK. WE PAID $10,585. THAT WAS A LOT OF MONEY, BUT WE THOUGHT HE WOULD DO A GOOD JOB. ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE HOUSE THE SINGLES WERE NOT CUT OFF BUT LEFT IN THE GUTTER.. 2ND YEAR SOME PAPER ON THE SOUTH SIDE BLOW OFF. I CALL AND TALK TO MR. WALTER HIMSELF, HE SAID DO YOU HAVE ANY PAPER? AND A CHARGE WILL BE MADE. I DON'T COVER WIND DAMAGE.

After many delays, weather and other things the work finally got done. they did a good job with what I needed done at the time.

I started calling the company in January. At the time I had a gutter come loose from the eves of my house from the weight of the snow and ice. Just getting them to come out and take a look so I could get an estimate was a hassle. I was assigned a contractor for my project. I will call him "Mark". He said they don't do many jobs in winter. We went back and fourth for MONTHS trying to communicate. All the time the gutter getting worse. A family of squirrels moved in and started chewing large access holes in the wood, and destroying my attic.
It wasn't until I told them I was an Angie's Deal Customer that they started to move on my project. (Why they sold a deal in winter, with six months till expiration  and then have Mark tell people they don't do projects in winter sounds lazy or scammish to me.)  My quote from them for replacing the whole gutter and repairing the holes and replacing a couple shingles,(No painting the new wood.) was $1300.00. I had talked to other companies and got estimates for around $800.00 and $900.00. I kinda feel that a price increase was added to recoup the use of the coupon. 
When it came time to do the job, "Mark" didn't even come out to do it. I was told they would be sending someone else. (SUB-contractors) I found this ridiculous since months before I had originally asked to work with someone else, (Not Mark, because of the communication problems.) they said no one else was available because that was his region.
The guys they sent did a decent job, but I had to ask them to close up a obvious squirrel hole directly on the edge of the new gutter. (Because the animals would just rip a new way in.)
Considering how bad they were at getting back to me, I was amused that the bill for the remainder of the total amount was sent the next day.

The company was great. They were very efficient and kept to the projected amount of time for the repair.  I'm satisfied with the quality of the materials they used as it was of good quality.

In 2007 I had some paint bubbling on the living room wall on the northeast side of where the chimney is located. Bridgeview roofing came out and he caulked around the chimney flashing. I then noticed water line marks on the basement wall in the same area as the living room.  He then came out and caulked the chimney cap which stopped the leak. Not being convinced this would be a permanent solution, I went in the yellow pages and called M.Walter Roofing & Insulation,Inc. Estimating engineer Al Galvan #1351 came out and told me the chimney bricks were really bad and I would need the chimney torn down to the roofine and rebuilt. On June 11,2008 I made a payment of $300.00, the balance of 2695.00 to be paid upon completion of the job. The job was started and completed July 27(?) 2008. Al Galvan came to the house to collect the balance due.  When he went on the roof to check out the work, he discovered that the chimney cap was cracked and the crack had been tarred over. I would never had known this (and I am sure the workers assumed I would never know!). He took a few pictures and agreed with me that I would not pay the full balance until the cap was replaced.  On August 5 I did give him a check for $2000.00, withholding $695.00. The workers eventually came out and replaced the chimney cap which Al Galvan verfified by going on the roof and taking a picture to show me.  I then paid the balance of $695.00. It was not even 2 months later (early November) that the paint in the dining room on the southeast corner (where previously I never had any damage) was starting to crack and bubble not only on the wall but the ceiling too.  I called M.Walter Roofing and was told (in so many words) that they could not come out at this time due to the winter weather coming (it might snow). Call after call after call, as i watched my walls and ceiling paint crack and bubble, they came out in April (yes APRIL) of 2009.  I do not know the details of what they did that day. Eventually I had the walls and ceiling repaired and painted which cost me around $1000.00.
It is now 2014 and only 5 years later, not only are my wall and ceiling paint showing signs of water damage, water is now literally actively flowing down my walls into the basement and onto the floor.  The original bricks from the roofine down that face southeast have turned black, the mortar is being pushed out from moisture and there is a line of efflorescence between the chimney and the dining room window. When I called M.Water Roofing service #1-800-300-1912 the woman told me the company was out of business, could not find any warranty paperwork for me but offered to have someone come out and give me an estimate. Really??!!

Everything went as expected, no surprises, no drama, no leftover mess. This is the second time we had used them and were again pleased with the whole experience.

Rain stopped of course. Rain came again and drip occurred inside area again. Called office and this time a foreman came out and started to find fault with fireplace chimney bricks away from leaks as cause also.  They located the issue and were able to resolve the problem.
