Everything from the original contact through the final inspection was done professionally. Each step along the way we were kept well informed. Our interaction with all members of the Cornett team was very good. The job was done on time and on budget.

The underlayment istalled wasn't what was discussed at interview. Size of metal exsposure was susposed to be 16" and it was 18". The underlayment isn't made for metal roofing. Esisting flashing was to be removed and it wasn't l am a union sheet metal worker and expected the premium material I asked for and will not put any metal on improper material.

"At Cornett Roofing we want every customer's experience to be positive. Unfortunately, Mr. [Member Name Removed] misunderstood the product he was purchasing. What we provided for this project is exactly our standard. There was no mention of custom width panels nor any mention of specialty ice and water shield. Owens Corning, a national manufacture, has issued a personalized warranty letter to Mr. [Member Name Removed] that his ice and water shield installed, is covered by warranty as-is. We will continue to work towards a mutually beneficial conclusion."

We researched many roofing products & several local roofing companies before deciding upon Cornett. Their HD powdered-coated metal shakes were our first choice for looks & also offered best quality of materials & warranty, even their "standard" 5V was a better quality than what others were selling. It took about 2 wks to schedule the quote apparently due to the amount of roof damage from recent local storms. Our project was started in a timely manner about 2 wks after signing the contract & took 3 days to complete all 3 buildings. The office & crew were very polite. The crew kept the jobsite tidy & worked long days. There were some hiccups along the way & we feel that inter-departmental communication could be improved upon. Most of the crew was ESL so perhaps there was a language barrier involved, too. In addition, there was an incident of what seemed like poor planning based on the weather forecast while finishing other parts of the roof rather than the part on the house that was still open requiring tarps overnight. All that being said, once our concerns were relayed to the proper person, the issues were addressed & resolved in a very timely manner. A couple of issues also popped up soon after the job was completed & we were pleasantly surprised that those were also promptly resolved. The only issue that we are still not quite sure of is if the crew was actually Cornett employees or subbed. We specifically asked if they were subs during the quote & we also asked the spokesman for the crew & were told they "work for Cornett". What is strange is that there was a miscommunication or misunderstanding about removing gutters for the roof installation & the crew asked if they were going to replace the gutters, too. However, at the time of the quote, we were told that there wasn't room to negotiate the gutter quote because that was subbed out. Based on that info, a reasonable conclusion is that if the same crew that installed the roof was also going to install gutters then they would appear to be subs. We suspect that the "crew leader" is an employee of Cornett so technically that is why we were told they do not use subs. As it turned out, even if they were subs, they did a good job, which was our concern about using subs in the first place, but we would have liked more transparency in the details. We absolutely love the look of our new roofs, esp the shakes, & have had several compliments on our "new house". Most importantly, we have had several rainstorms over the last month & there has been no sign of leaks & we can expect no shingle damage for the next 50 yrs. We highly recommend Cornett.

Initial tear-off of old roof was done well.  Clean-up was well done.  New installation went well.  Roof is 12' x 24'  and was done completely in two days.

While they replaced the chimney flashing, they initially sent a crew to replace the gutter section who did very poor work.  Cornett agreed and sent a new crew to replace the gutter section.  This took several weeks.  Then, Cornett never fixed the hole in the roof, even though they were paid in full for the work and the work was clearly described in the contract.  When I called to ask them to repair the hole, visible from my yard they refused to come back out, saying the work had already been performed.  When I sent a photo of the hole that had not been repaired, they refused to do the work saying that a different hole had been repaired (they never identified whatever hole they were talking about.)   The entire job took months, with many calls back and forth, when it should have taken a week.  I was very clear about my dissatisfaction with the work, the amount of time it took to interface with the company, the poor quality of the work performed, the work left unperformed, and the overall experience, so this review will not be a surprise.

The work started on schedule and the crew came daily and spent all day each time. The job was tough for them in that we have three gables protruding from the roof on the third floor, and the outsides of the gables are rounded. This required a lot of precise metal work, molded to fit over the gables' round part and sealed properly along the borders of the sloping roof and around the windows. The crew worked long hours, meticulously to get it right -- for example, to allow proper water drainage along the back and sides of the gables -- and it seems that they did get it right. Also, our carport required nice handiwork with the metal. All told, with the last part of the project being asphalt re-roofing, the work crew was here for more than week.
I should add that our previous asphalt roofing was damaged over at least two hailstorms, so we were helped by home insurance. In fact, after the insurance company offered its initial settlement, the Metal Pro Roofing salesman phoned the insurance adjuster to point out damage that he had missed. The insurance company increased the settlement substantially.
IF there had been no hail damage and insurance payout, we would not have been at a time when the roofing needed replacement. And when that time had come, I can't say 100 percent that we would have been ready to invest the amount that this job cost. That being said, we really like the results and were fully happy with Metal Pro. Our house seems better-insulated with the new roof (the metal was installed over the existing roof). And hopefully, we won't have to worry about our roof ever again.

The service went wonderfully. A crew of 5 came out and completed the job in about 1 week. They did a very good job and were great with the cleanup after the service. I have no complaints at all and the roof looks great. I would definitely use the company again. I had no problem whatsoever scheduling  service. They even coordinated with carpenters who were out. Their pricing was competitive.

I have been pleased with their services. The staff is quick to respond to your questions. They are pretty punctual and the staff does good work. At one point we had some issues with the roof. The company made a trip out to take a look to see if the damage would be covered under our insurance. I really appreciated the extra effort. I thought they were very easy to schedule with.

When they installed the roof it was near a holiday. We had left during the service. When we came home water had been pouring into the house. We ended up with a lot of water damage on the interior of our house and it has not been the same since. The roof looks nice on the outside. We did find hammers, nails and other debris on the yard after the service. We have kids and dogs so that was very dangerous. We also found that they were in the gutters and drains and found several nails. One of the workers fell through the ceiling why they were working. We had to hire another company to repair their errors. We also had mildew issues after the job and had to hire someone out for that as well. Every wall in the back side of the house on the upper level was affected. I am not happy with what they did at all and they have cost of a lot of additional fees. I would not recommend this company to others.

The service went very well. I had several other companies come out who could not repair the roof correctly. 3-4 technicians came out and completed the job in 1 day. I had little interaction with the staff but they did a good job. I had no problem scheduling the service.

We have had so many problems with them from the get go. Their service was bad and the pricing was high. The workmanship was poor. One of the guys who worked on the roof had recently fallen off a different roof before coming out to do our roof. I called them recently to repair a leak in the roof. I am not positive the leak was even repaired. They are bad at making appointments as scheduled. They are very slow to respond and are terrible at calling me back. I would not recommend this company to anyone.

The service did not go very well. The repair was supposed to last 2 years, but the first time it rained the roof leaked. I feel like if I would have babysat them the entire job they may have done it right. I thought they were professionals and that should not have had to be necessary. The staff did on install the roof correctly. They thought they issues were because of the materials used, but the issue was with the workmanship. They ended up having to come out 3 times and never solved the issue. They cause interior and exterior damage to my home, as well. I should have sued the company for what they did.

I was very happy with the roofing job they did. I was not pleased with the siding job, however. It was not well done and I think they should stick to roofing. Anything that was difficult or unusual they had difficulty with. A large crew came out for the siding. The staff was considerate and the crew was very hard working. I had no problem contacting the company or scheduling their services. I would not use the company again because of the issues with the siding.

Their services have gone very well. I really like the roof they put on. It did take a while to get them scheduled out for the service because they are not a local company. Once they did come out they worked very hard. A crew of about 6 came out and completed the job in 3 about days. They had do re do the roof supports and re do the slope in the roof. It was a very difficult job. The staff was very knowledgeable and happy to work with me. They were very helpful in getting the paper work pushed through for the historic board of the community I live in.
