The estimate was for a tar and gravel flat room that had four areas that were leaking. It was nearly double the price of the person who did the work and the technician recommended we do a re-roof, which we did not want to do at this time. We have used this contractor in the past and have been very satisfied with their work, however the price seemed high enough that we wanted to do some comparison shopping which made us turn to Angie's list and we are happy we did! I wish there was a box to mark 'maybe' if we would use them again. It would depend on the price. My husband said 'yes'.
Description of Work: Just an estimate. No work was performed this time.

Salesperson was very helpful and responded to my questions and evolving requests professionally. Crew started early and responded to issues quickly. A bathroom fan vent was placed closely to the lighttube and they fixed that quickly. They worked quickly and the crew was done with the bulk of the work by noon. A carpenter stayed with the difficult light tube install until totally completed, hours after the rest of the crew was done. He cleaned up all the rest of the material and leftover equipment that was accidentally left behind. Cleanup was well done and I found no nails but there was some old roof debris in the mulch, but nothing big.
Description of Work: Tear-off old roof, 15# felt, ice and water shield. Add two vents for bathroom fans. Fill in old mushroom vents. Add ridge vent. Replace Furnace Chimney housing, Replace Kitchen Fan housing. Reseal Vent pipes. Architectural shingles and ridge vent. Added drip edging to eave sides of roof. Added small light tube for interior bathroom to add natural light

Absolutely delighted with the results and the professionalism of Showalter Roofing. Jeff Rosier from start to finish was professional, on time, and accurate in his estimate. He personally followed up with me after they had completed the job to make sure everything measured up to my expectations. I was especially impressed with their ability to complete the job in less than 36 hours (due to unexpected rain) without compromising the integrity of their work or the finished product. Their estimate initially was a little higher than some of the other companies but after doing extensive research on Showalter Roofing and the product they were installing it became apparent that both were superior.
Description of Work: Complete roof, gutter and down spout replacement.

It went exceptionally well. Job was completed timely and in accordance with estimates.
Description of Work: The violent storms that blew through the Chicago area on 7/1/12 deposited a large oak limb through our family room roof. Contacted Showalter through a personal referral. They responded quickly and provided a very reasonable estimate. Since the rest of our roof was 15 years old, we opted to replace the entire roof rather than just the portion which was damaged. The repairs also included replacing damaged roof rafters and decking as well as sofit, facia and gutters. The job was done quickly and professionally and was complemented by the village inspector. They even arranged for the dumpster to remain for several days to allow drywaller to deposit waste drywall. I would highly recommend Showalter Roofing in the future.

Louis came out and explained quickly and efficiently the quote and our roof shingle options. I say quickly because some of the other salesmen took an hour or two to meet with us and explain. Louis did not rush us but was able to explain his quote in half an hour. We choose the Architectural shingles with a Ridge vent. The crew came out on date scheduled, worked quickly and efficiently, cleaned up after themselves. Only found a few nails in the yard afterwards. We are very satisfied with the look of the roof. No cleaning gutters this fall! They also recommended and installed oversized waterspouts which have worked well. We have not gone through a winter with our new roof yet but so far all is well.

We had a part of our roof that had torn away/come loose as well as a couple of other soft areas and when Showalter Roofing came out to give us an estimate the week of September 3rd they found that it was torn down so that you could look into our crawl space. Paul, the gentleman who came out to do the estimate, told us that it would be a few days before they could get someone out to repair it, but he assisted with attaching a plastic tarp over the area, so that no further water would get in until they could repair it. They agreed to come out on 9/11 and repair, which they did and we're satisfied with their work and will use them again when we are ready to replace our entire roof.

They were very professional through the whole process and worked very quickly. Cleaned up after each project. We would use them again.
Description of Work: We had Showalter Roofing out for an estimate to replace some missing shingles on our roof. They suggested some additional work we should consider having done (either now or at another time), which was replacing the plastic around the pvc pipes and we needed a new chimney cap. We decided to go ahead with all the work. Cost was $250 for the shingles and pvc work and $500 for the chimney cap.

They did a very good job. They were prompt in providing an estimate and took time explaining what they would be doing. Estimate was detailed and broke down the individual items so I knew what each was costing. Once I decided what I was going to have done, they scheduled the work promptly. The crew was polite, explained what they were going to do, completed the work and did a good job cleaning up. I have been quite satisfied with the job that was done and have had no problems since.
Description of Work: Installed Ridge Vent, Bath Vent on roof, Zinc Strips for moss & Alge, Soffit Vents and a few small items.

Overall, it was a bad experience with Showalter Roofing.
Description of Work: Showalter was hired to repair a leak from my roof to the garage. The roof still leaks and they placed visable nails in my siding to put back in place. I tried calling a couple of times to have them repair properly with no reply. Jeff rosier with the consultant. They did retract the $450 origional charge.

The repair was scheduled for Thursday. The roofer showed up at 1 PM. He suggested that we postpone the repair for the following morning at 7 AM, since the outdoor temperature was approaching 100 degrees F. I concurred with his reasoning and request. The roofer showed up the following day to do the repairs. He demonstrated good safety practices and tied off. He did the needed repairs per proposal. While the roofer was on the roof, he noticed a small hole in another shingle. When checking closer he realized that an air vent opening had been shingled over when the home was constructed. I was outside at the time observing his work. He called my attention to the area and showed me the problem. He called his office for a price, went out to purchase the air vent and installed it the same day. The following two days were torrential rain storms. I am grateful that his observation averted a much bigger problem.
Description of Work: Replaced a few roof shingles that had blown off during high winds.

There were water marks on the ceiling in my son's bathroom and I wasn't sure what it was so, I called them to see if they had any available slots to come out and take a look.... They came for an estimate the same day and did the work 2 days later and even went as far as to tell me that the fans in my upstairs bathrooms were not vented to the outside so, they vented them for me as well..... The work was completed within 2 hours and he even showed me the piece that he replaced that cause the leakage on my roof... I will definitely call them in the future... :-)

I needed somebody to come out to take a look at the roof and see what needed to be done whether it was a repair or a replacement. They didn’t call me back to make an appointment to take a look at the roof. I called them because they have good ratings online. They kept telling me how busy they were which was lovely, but they should have told me upfront if they didn’t want the business so that I could go with somebody else. I waited for them for almost three weeks trying to get a hold of them. The girl on the phone is really nice, but she used to say that they were really busy every time I called. She doesn’t make the appointments and somebody calls you back to make the appointments, which I find incredibly annoying. She used to tell me that they would call me back in a couple of days. This was just to make the estimate. I went round and round with them a couple of times. I called them up about three times in about three weeks and then I gave up. I gave them about a week to contact me back in between, but there was absolutely nothing. However, the girl on the phone is very pleasant too. I am sure she is completely handicapped by whatever system they have. When I made my first complaint about them, they claimed that they had never heard of me. They were not professional at all. In the meantime, I have got a leaking hole in my ceiling and it’s getting bigger. I would never use them again and I am not going to recommend them either.

Excellent. Couldn't have gone better!
Description of Work: We had a 20 year old cedar shake roof that had been damaged in the fall windstorms. We decided to replace the roof, but needed a repair estimate for insurance purposes. Showalter came out promptly, took digital photos for our insurance and did a repair estimate as well as the replacement bid. We were concerned about the damaged portions of the roof, so we didn't want to wait until better weather to replace. Showalter managed to find get the the job done over two days in January. They brought lots of workers, and worked very efficiently. They tore off the old roof, and replaced it with a GAF Architctural shingle. It started snowing late that Friday, just as they finished the garage. They cleaned up thoroughly, despite the snow. They had also agreed to seal the leaking gutters at the seams, and replace damaged fascia. They came back promptly when the weather allowed the repair without any need for me to call them.
