This was a great experience! Ed was very helpful with product choices. I really didn't want to do the work while all my beautiful plants were in their prime but Ed assured me they would survive. They did! You really can't even tell they were here! His employees looked after the clean up process like it was their own property. They were some of the hardest working guys I've ever seen! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Holmes Roofing to my family or friends. Grade A ++++++++++ experience from start to finish.

Holmes Roofing is definitely the way to go! They were very courteous and professional. They even worked with us and our insurance company to ensure that we got what was needed. I was very pleased that they took the time to evaluate the roof multiple times and how quick and easy it was to get the job done!! When they were finished they cleaned everything up thoroughly to ensure no nails were left behind!

FIRST OF ALL I SEEN THAT HOLMES ROOFING HAS A 10 YEAR LABOR WARRANTY!! I LOOKED IN THE NET & FOUND OUT THAT IN INDIANA COTRACTOR ONLY HAVE TO GIVE4 YEARS. I ASKED MR HOLMES Y HE GIVES 10 , HE SAID HE GIVES 10 BECAUSE ITS TWICE WHAT OTHER COMPANIES GIVE & HES 2 TIME BETTER.IM WILL SEND EVERYONE I KNOW HIS WAY ,THAT NEED ANY KIND OF WORK DONE TO THERE HOME! FROM START TO FINISH WAS PAINLESS. THE OWNER HIMSELF CAME OUT TO DO ESTIMATE HIMSELF WITHIN 2 HOURS OF MY CALL . I DAILED 862-ROOF & HE SAID THAT DAY THAT PHONE LINE WAS FOWARDED TO HIS CELL. I SIGNED WITH HOLMES ROOFING RITE AWAY, DUE TO I CALL 3 OTHER COMPANIES & NONE SHOWED UP , ONLY ONE EVEN CALLED ME BACK & THEN DIDNT SHOW AS PROMISED. ED MET MY INSURANCE COMPANY HIMSELF AND PROVED TO THEM THAT ROOF AND GUTTERS SHOULD BE COVERED BY THEM. I ONLY HAD TO PAY MY 500 DOLLAR DEDUTABLE, ED GAVE ME A COUPON FOR A FREE UPGRADE TO THREE-DEMENTIONAL SHINGLES. MY ROOF LOOKED BETTER THEN ALL OF THE OTHER HOMES AROUND ME, I ASKED ED WHY AND HE EXPLAINED THAT THE FINISHED SHINGLE CALLED CAP WAS A MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE TYPE THAN OTHER COMPANIES. ITS CALLED TIMBER TEX, ITS DOUBLE THE THICKNESS OF OTHER SHINGLES. HE EXPLAINED THAT CONTRACTERS WILL SELL 3-D SHINGLES AND PUT 3 TAB ON THEIR ROOF TO SAVE SEVERAL HUNDEREDS OF DOLLARS, I DONT THINK THAT WOULD MAKE THAT ROOF A LIFE TIME WARANTY ROOF. HE COMPLETED MY ROOF IN TWO DAYS ONE DAY FOR THE ROOF ONE FOR THE GUTTERS HE WAS ON THE JOB FOR 70% OF THE TIME. ALL WORKERS WERE THE HARDEST WORKERS I HAVE EVER SEEN. THEY WORKED NON-STOP TO GET MY ROOF DONE. I HAD MY ROOF INSPECTED AFTER WORK WAS COMPLETED AND THE INSPECTOR TOLD ME IT WAS NEAT AND PERFECT HE HAD NEVER SEEN MORE QUALITY WORK. HE EVEN POINTED OUT THAT MR HOLMES TRIMED MY TREE AWAY FROM MY ROOF. IF I EVER MOVE I WILL MAKE IT PART OF MY DEAL WITH THE SELLER THAT MR HOLMES INSPECTS AND OR REPLACES MY ROOF BEFORE I BUY ANY HOUSE

i could not have been more pleased with thwork perfomed by holmes roofing. Mr Holmes was very easy to work with from start to finish, his crews were very neat and courtious, and Mr. Holmes came by the job at least twice a day to check on the progress and to make sure the work was being done corectly. I was very satisfied with the work done by Holmes roofing, and the time frame in which it was completed. I would highly recomend Holmes roofing to anyone who asks.

Jerry, a sales representative, pulled up to our house and looked at the roof from ground level (he didn't even get on our roof), said that we had hail damage, and wanted us to sign papers immediately. (which locked us into a roof replacement contract with them) When we started to ask questions about price, etc., Jerry said they would take whatever the insurance company would agree to give us. (but the insurance company said we didn't need a new roof, just a few replacement shingles) He went door-to-door through the neighborhood also. We talked with a few other roofing companies and each one of them got on the roof to inspect before talking about damage. None of the other companies tried the same high-pressure, sign-immediately kind of tactic either. NOTE: Provider has confirmed that his representative, Jerry, was at our house and did drive the gold Mercedes when the company truck was in the shop. (the vehicle referenced in our earlier complaint). He also informed us that Jerry is no longer employed by this company. Since the person who caused the initial issue has left the company, we are updating our rating to be consistent with the rating of a 'resolved claim'. ('B')
Description of Work: The company showed up at our doorstep after a hail storm in our neighborhood and wanted to replace our roof.

The entire transaction from start to finish and our final payment made took about 8 days....any large home repairs gives us some anxiety...however it was at a minimal for this job because the work was done as stated and on time.
Description of Work: Our insurance company approved the bid given...after receiving our payment, we contacted Mr. Holmes and was able to schedule the job in 2 days....the workers were on time and very courteous...completed the removal of the old roof and installation of the new roof in one day...made a very hard effort to remove any debris including nails...my husband examined and approved the work as being very well done...the shingles are in perfect alignment ...the gutters were done the next Monday and we had a very similar experience with that also....we would recommend Holmes Roofing to family and friends...

Quick response to my request for a quote. Good follow up after it was delivered. Very responsive to my questions. The actual tear off and install took about 2.5 days, not much longer than their initial estimate despite replacing much deck than expected and despite the shingle install subs not showing up. The quality of their work was excellent. The roof looks great down to the details and showed no evidence of leaks after a hard rain. Overhang into the gutters was correct all the way around. Nail penetration and placement was correct each of the 10 or so times I visited the roof. All valleys were wrapped correctly and cuts are straight. Caulked all exposed fasteners. Cap shingles are straight and properly lapped. Did a good cleanup job. I've found only a handfuls of nails left behind and a single wrapped from a bundle of shingled. Swept porch, sidewalks, and deck. Used a dump truck rather than a rolloff, so no damage to my asphalt driveway. This was all without my having to ask. Overall the work was excellent and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
Description of Work: Tear off of existing roof, vents, firnace chimney, pipe boots, etc. Replaced with 36 squares of 30 year architectural shingles, 50 year cap shingles. Replaced about 1200 ft2 of deck. Ice dam around perimeter and in all valleys. Reattached gutters.

From the time I first called to completion of the job, which only took a little over a week from the initial call to completion, Edwin Holmes and his crew were very courteous, efficient and professional. The showed up when they were supposed to, cleaned up after themselves as the job progressed, and when they left you wouldn't know they had been there except for a new roof and chimney. Everything Ed promised, he delivered. Ed was there to see that the job was done professionally, and his crew was well trained and knew what was expected with minimum supervision.
Description of Work: The company tore off existing shingles, to include two layers over part of the roof, and replaced the roof with 30 year architectural shingles. In addition, they removed my chimney to the roofline and built a new chimney.

I had Holmes Roofing tear off my complete roof and put down new boards. First of all, the owner gave me an estimate and showed up exactly when he said he would. His whole crew showed up on the day and time I was promised. I came home at lunchtime just to see what was going on and his whole crew was working hard. I liked the way each crew member had a specific duty to do, from the actual laying of the shingles to the picking up of the trash in the yard. You would have never known they were there because all of the trash was picked up, including a big piece of a tree that he took to the dump along with my roof trash (which was very much appreciated!). The roof does not leak, even after the heavy rains we have had. Ed Holmes contacted the gutter person that he uses promptly and saw that my gutters were installed right away.
Description of Work: I had a complete tear-off done with new boards and new shingles. After the job was completed, I also decided to have new seamless gutters installed. This same company had also cut down a large tree for me the year before.

Edwin Holmes had his crew on the job the next day. They tore the roof off of our Cape Cod home and installed a new on the next day. The siding work was completed the very next day. Three shingles along the top of the roof were installed in the wrong direction and the company took care of that as soon as we pointed it out. The shingles we ended up with were of much higher quality than what we started with. All in all, it was a very satisfying experience. Mr. Holmes is preparing a written report for us to use in our lawsuit against Sears Diamond Exteriors for the shoddy work that company did as well.
Description of Work: I was getting ready to have my upstairs bathroom remodeled when I found out a roof leak was partly responsible for the room's deterioration. My bathroom contractor recommended Edwin Holmes, who came out the same day. He got on my roof, took photos and told me the company that installed it, Sears Diamond Exteriors, was not being truthful about the cause of my problem. (The roof was still under warranty.) Rather than continue to mess with Sears, I hired Holmes' company to install a new roof and fix vinyl siding problems left by the last roofing crew.

THE FOREMAN WAS VERY POLITE AND PERSONABLE, AND THEIR WORK WAS EXCELLENT. I DON'T KNOW THE PRICE SINCE THEY WERE SUBCONTRACTED. I WAS ESPECIALLY PLEASED WITH HOW THEY HANDLED A SITUATION WITH RAIN. WHEN A SURPRISE POP-UP THUNDERSTORM CAME THROUGH AFTER MY EXISTING ROOF WAS TORN OFF, THEY SAT UP ON THE ROOF FOR NEARLY AN HOUR IN THE RAIN TO HOLD THE TARPS DOWN TO KEEP IT DRY. THEN THEY WORKED TILL DARK (ALMOST 9:00) WITHOUT A DINNER BREAK SINCE THERE WERE BIGGER STORMS COMING IN. GREAT JOB!
