Chris did what he said and did it with-in the time frame he said! When they were done it looked like they had not been there. Except for the beautiful new roof. We would use him again! Thanks

      I called in june he came over and gave me a estimate I agreed to it said he was busy but would do it when her had a chance e-mailed him in august and ask if i was still on the list it took over a week to get a response and he e-mailed me back and said i was.then called him in sept. left a message he never returned it and the work never got done. If you want a hassle he is your guy. if he would of called me at any time to say her was to busy to do the job i would not have a problem but i hate people who dont have the courtesy to at least respond to you - ps i had to wait till the next year to get it done of course by another contractor
Response from CJ Whiteford Roofing, Inc.

"[Member name Removed], Thank you for your honest review. You are right. I certainly could have done much better on communication. You actually were still on my list for repairs for this spring, but I failed to inform you of that timing this past fall. We caught ourselves swamped with the hail storms and could not keep up with the repair work. So I regret that you had a bad experience. I know I need to continually improve on the communication part of my business. I do respond to the majority of my customers in a timely way and I'm sorry that you fell through the cracks. Thank you for taking the time to help make my business better. Chris"

"Sorry that you feel that way. Due to the hail storms we were backlogged this past year and limited the number of repairs we did. Hope you were able to find someone to help you."

We closed on the house on August 15th and the job was supposed to be completed prior to closing.  Here we are a month later and they have yet to show up.  Chris doesn't return calls and he has flaked out now three different times.  Sais he will be here and then doesn't show. Full of excuses when you finally get through to him via text message. No call, text, or email from him when he decides not to show.  Now we find ourselves with a leaky roof and a situation where we have to wait it out considering it was an escrow thing where the sellers hired him to do the job.  We had some rain the other day and we actually had water coming down through the fireplace surround because the flashing around the chimney and vent is faulty.  This after Chris assured me that we won't have any leaking issues because he inspected the roof himself and didn't see any cause for immediate concerns.  The days of good customer service are definitely gone.
Response from CJ Whiteford Roofing, Inc.

"[member name removed], I'm sorry that you got caught in this situation. It was a communication error on my part. I had originally told the realtor who contacted me that it was not a job I was interested in nor did I have time to do it. After chatting further I thought I could eventually work it into my schedule but it wouldn't be immediate. Once I knew I could not do the job, I let the realtor know. However, when you and I corresponded directly, I honestly got your contact information switched with another customer. When you texted me, I thought I was responding to another job, thus the reason for never showing. Again, I take full responsibility for the error and will continue to work on responding to my customers in an efficient and orderly manner. It's been a busy year. I'm glad you were able to find another company to take care of you! Chris"

Provider had a heavy work load and we had to wait a few weeks to get job started.  Came within stated time frame.  Work and personnel were professional.  We are very satisfied with the job.

I would definately recommend C J Whiteford Roofing to anyone needing a professional roofer, at a very competitive price, providing quality, expediant workmanship, and full cleanup and debris removal after the installation is complete.

Early Sept. 2012 I contacted Chris and left a msg. Within an hour he returned my call and I explained what I needed done on the roof. He said in the next day or two he would drive/stop by to see what needs to be done and then he would call me back with an estimate. A week later and he never called back. I called him 3 times over the next 3 weeks and left a msg. every time and he never returned my calls. I don't think he very reliable at all. If he doesn't want or can't do the job...say so!
Response from CJ Whiteford Roofing, Inc.

"(removed member name), thank you for your honest review. You are right, I should have just called back and said that I was not able to take on your job. I apologize. Due to keeping our business small, and doing most of our work from referrals, we just are not able to take on every customer. That also means that sometimes the customer who is looking falls through the cracks. That also means that because we stay busy and do quality work we are able to choose which jobs we want to pursue and which ones we don't. I wish I would have called you back to say I couldn't do the job. I will have to do better at that. I see unfortunately that you were a potential customer twice. Most likely it is because we were inundated with so many calls that we did not ultimately choose yours. Once a job is booked, however, we do our best to followthrough and provide excellent customer service. Sincerely, Chris Whiteford"

I would highly recommend him to anybody.  Their price was very comparable, middle of the road.  They were good and very professional.  They did an outstanding job.
Response from CJ Whiteford Roofing, Inc.

"We appreciate that feedback, (removed member name). We do not necessarily price ourselves the lowest as we believe you get what you pay for, but our pricing is fair and the job will be done well!"

Called them several (approx. 6) times over a 4 week period and left a msg. a couple of those times with a phone number for them to call me back. Never, ever heard from Chris!
Response from CJ Whiteford Roofing, Inc.

"[removed member name], As you can see on the other review you left, unfortunately your need came at a time when we were inundated with work. We just are not built to respond to everyone's request for service. I trust that you were able to get your roof taken care of. Sincerely, Chris"

It has been an extremely stormy season this year. So it was very difficult to get a call back from some roofers. Chris called me back right away and came out the next day for an estimate. It took Chris a couple weeks to get to my chimney/roof. One roofer said it would take 6 to 7 weeks to get to me. Everything went well. Chris and the other guy were excellent. Roof looks great now. Highly recommend this company.

It was real good. They got it done in a timely manner and they got it cleaned up real good when they were done with it. They were thorough, polite and professional. The price was good. They came right away. They checked back after the job was done.
