Applaudable Roofing & Construction LLC

We had a gutter seal leak problem that other contractors said would take thousands of dollars to fix. Applaudable explained that it was just a simple caulking issue, fixed it for $150 bucks, and solved the problem! No hard selling and no pushing of services we didn't need. We will use them again when it is time to replace gutters and siding.

I contacted a couple roofing companies and received quotes. Bob with Applaudable was most helpful in the process. He noticed that the roof showed signs of wind/hail damage. He recommended calling my insurance company. With their help and the insurance company I was able to get the roof redone. Nice company to work with. Brian, Kristen and Bob really did a great job start to finish. The crew was clean and organized. Great Job.

He did not even get up the roof to do any maintenance. He took several weeks canceling earlier appointments stating that there were rains and roof was wet. He can't climb on wet roof since it will be slippery. Then when he came finally after one and half months, he used a binocular to visually inspect the roof from the ground. He said he will send me an email about the works that needed to be done on the roof. I never got that email either.

Applaudable Roofing came and looked at the roof. I received a verbal quote for the roof after their inspection and look forward to working with them. Bob gave me some additional information about the over all condition of my roof, things to consider at another time. Bob was prompt, polite and a pleasure to converse with. I appreciate the direct and honest discussion. The would I hire again answer is based on our discussion today. I have no reason to believe it will not go well. I will post a follow up review once the job is complete

Perfect! They did everything they promised in the time frame they promised.

Awesome! HWA referred Applaudable Roofing to us. Bob Cook came to our house. He was knowledgeable and experienced. Inspected the exterior of the house and the roof. He fixed the few lifted shingles (due to the storm/wind) and caulked the nails and the cracks. He offered tips on other things pertaining to our house. He was honest. He told us when we did not need anything and when we needed something. Gave us his card and asked us to call him if we had any questions. He was awesome!

You wrote a review for Applaudable Roofing & Construction One hour ago 5.0 star rating 6/23/2017 Incredibly pleased with the level of service, professionalism and workmanship! We worked with Bob and Kristen primarily. Our insurance company was very difficult to work with, delaying repairs and replacement of both the roof and the siding the whole time water damage continued to pile up. Both Bob and Kristen went out of their way to assist us with the insurance company, keep us informed at every step what the status was, who they were talking to and what the outcome of every conversation with our insurance adjuster was. Bob was very knowledgeable and was very clear on the process, what to expect next, and what my responsibilities were to the insurance company and what his responsibilities were to me and the insurance company. In all we ended up with all of our much needed repair work completed in quickly by excellent crews, all of whom were very friendly and considerate of us and our neighbors as we live in a tight neighborhood. The craftsmanship was excellent and we had 0 scrap or garbage left in our yard at all! A very positive experience from start to finish!

Job was professionally done. Work crews showed up when promised. Workers were polite and obviously knew what they were doing. Put in long 13 and 14 hour work days to ensure that the work was completed before bad weather approached and ensuring that our home was protected against possible rain at the end of each work day. Our house is large and the roof is expansive and includes steep pitches. The Applaudable crew handled the job without a problem. Also, Bob Cooke, the claims specialist for Applaudable was the best! Very responsive. Answered all of our questions about the job and efficiently coordinated the work with our insurance company. The same goes for the owner, Brian. We would definitely use Applaudable again and recommend them to anyone in the area. We could not have asked for a better experience with a contractor.

If you want someone honest, kind, and who will work wonders with you use BOB!!! I can't tell you how ecstatic I am!!! I thought I would have to save thousands to get my roof and gutters done. Bob saved the day and it is covered by my insurance!!! FANTASTIC!!!

Great. Job done quickly and effeciently

While the actual repair work has not been done yet (scheduled for next week), I'm writing this review early to point out something that Bob the claims adjuster did that went above and beyond the call of duty: In addition to saving us money by successfully working with the Home Warranty company, he also likely saved our LIVES. I'll explain. While checking the attic to see if there was any water leaking there he noticed the smell of natural gas. I've been up there recently and didn't notice it. However when we pointed a very specific location I smelled it as well. Long story short.. called the gas company and indeed there was a leak. Thanks Bob!! I'll update the review after the repair. Hopefully that is before the next rain!

The whole experience with Applaudable Roofing was excellent from start to finish. Working with Mr. Dobrenick was a pleasure. He was always available for questions and concerns and he did the job exactly as he said he would. He took care of obtaining the necessary permits required and saw that the inspections were done as needed. His crew did an amazing job of being on time, working hard and cleaning up the area around my house to my satisfaction. The whole job was completed in one day's time and they arrived at exactly the time they said they would. Mr. Dobrenick is very conscientious and considerate of his clients time constraints which is very helpful. I can't say enough good things about him and Applaudable Roofing. I would recommend them highly to anyone who wants a job well done at an affordable price.

It is a fairly large and steep roof with multiple valleys, eaves, and hips (complex roof). Applaudable started and finished the project withing three days. They did a very nice job of cleaning up after themselves as well. Due to weather (late winter) the gutters had to be delayed by a few days after the roof was completed, but the gutters were hung and the entire roofing project completed within a week. It was a very pleasant experience.

The workers had no regard for our children or pets safety, when addressed with Brian he fixed the situation immediately. He always answered or returned my calls within a timely fashion and took my concerns seriously. I would definitely recommend Brian to my family and friends.

Upon the first visit, Applaudable's Claim Specialist explained the process step by step. First our Home Owners Insurance needed to be contacted and a claim made for the damage. There adjuster came out wrote up all the damages. When the Insurance Company came to there findings and called me with what they would pay I was very distressed. I was going to have to come up with several thousand dollars to pay for the new roof. But Bob, Applaudable's Claim Specialist, knew how to get me through this part of the process. Bob instructed me to call my insurance company and simply request another inspection. So the second time around Bob pointed out every thing that was possibly missed. When my insurance company said they would cover the cost minus my deductible I knew I had absolutely chosen the right company with the right Claim Specialist to do my roof. After that point every thing was all systems go. The Applaudable's crew showed up and completed my handsome roof in 2 days. The workers were so focused on my roof it was pretty amazing to see it happen so quickly. I have to say I had never made an insurance claim of any sort and I am so grateful that I chose Applaudable. They literately told me what to expect every step of the way and were there for me from day one till the day of completion. I consider my roof a deal of my lifetime and received the best price, the best service and professionalism and a beautiful quality roof.

This was a very professionally run company. They came to my home and explained the entire process. They also left color selections for me. They did not pressure me into anything and were very polite. They kept me informed of the scheduling and when material was expected to arrive. They also made sure all garbage was picked up daily. If something was left Appluadable would be back later in the day. The great thing is I dealt with only 2 people through the entire process which really helped keep all the administrative paperwork very easy and organized. They are a local company and will recommend them to anyone needing roof or siding work done.

Company would not give me the report on my own house. Said they needed to take it back to my HOA. If we had known they weren't going to tell us about our own house we wouldn't have even let them look. They were very arrogant.

BUYER BEWARE!! Bob, the sales representative showed up at the home of my mother. He told her that she would be able to easily get insurance money for the siding replacement and the damage to the house. The home has aluminum siding that is rather old, and the hail damage is on only three sides of the house. When my mother mentioned this, Bob told her that the aluminum as scrap would be worth ?a lot? and would be able to cover the other side of the house. He also told her about other possible areas of the house that he could advocate for the insurance to cover. Essentially, according to Bob, the only cost to my mother would be the insurance deductible. Bob asked my mother sign what she thought was a "good faith" agreement, allowing him to ?advocate? for her when the insurance adjuster arrived. My mother arranged for the insurance adjuster to come and look at the house. She called Applaudable and let them know that the insurance adjuster would be there. Bob met with him and estimated the cost of the replacement (minus deductible). The insurance company gave a check for approximately half of the amount to Bob, and the rest to my mother. At no point during this transaction did Bob indicate that the amount the insurance gave him was not going to be enough to adequately cover the cost of the repair of the entire house. Several days later, Bob came out to the house to do a follow up measurement. He claimed that there had been some mistakes made on the original paperwork, and he needed to double-check his original numbers. Again, he gave my mother the impression that things were moving along nicely. Several days later, Bob called to inform my mother that, despite all of his promises, she would indeed, need to pay $5000 more for the siding on the house in order to complete the job on the undamaged portion. Of course, my mother said that she would be unable to do this, and that she would have to decline. ?I don?t know why you wouldn?t want to do this,? he said. She told him that he had, on several occasions, told him that there would be no cost to her beyond the deductible. She had also been clear to him that she would be unable to do the job if the cost was much more than what the insurance would pay. At this point, she was told that Applaudable would be keeping 20% of the check that she had given them for their ?free? estimate. This amounted to almost $1000. He also referred her to the ?contract? that she signed earlier, where those terms were spelled out (in half-tone print on the back) ?We have to feed our families,? Replied Bob. ?We need to be paid for the work we have already done.? When my mother inquired about what work they had done, Bob mentioned the "many" times that he had been out to measure and ?advocate? for with the insurance. Most recently, Bob called to inform my mother that the check from the insurance was in the mail, minus the 20%. He also informed her that she could give her lawyer a call if she wanted. ?They have had several people try to get their money back from us,? he said, ?but no one has ever won.? Bob made all sorts of claims to my mother in order to get her to sign a contract in haste. When few of his claims came to pass, he used the contract to cover his own mistakes. While these practices may not technically be ?illegal,? they are, at best, deceptive; at worst, slimy. Bob should have just apologized, returned the full amount, and learned that when you make a bunch of verbal promises you can?t keep, it?s better to admit it. The ill-will that this situation has caused is far expensive than the $946 dollars Applaudable roofing got from my mother.

................The person I dealt with is not with the company anymore but they very helpful and they made sure that they do a good job with the roofing. They were present when the insurance company came in , they influenced the insurance company. They know what they are doing.
