They show up when they say they will, don't smoke or drink on the job or play the radio too loudly. They take pride in their work and their price is very competitive.
Description of Work: The last time they did work on my home they did a tear-off and put a new roof on. They also replaced a leaking skylight; it has never had a problem since.

I am not sure I am going to go with them. I asked them to give me an estimate for removing and replacing the skylights, but, they did not recommend replacing it and only gave me the estimate for eliminating it. So, I guess I am disappointed that they did not give me quotes that I asked for.

I expected to need an entire roof replacement, but Lahr inspected it and told me I did not, saving me a load of money. The roof was leaking, and they sent someone out right away to make a quick repair until they could complete the job. They replaced the bad area and it matches the rest of the roof perfectly.

They were great to work with. Did the job in a timely manner and it appears they did it well. The job was finished in November and withstood the snow, ice and rain we've had this winter with no issues. JP Lahr and Sons was recommended by a friend. We then verified their service record through Angie's List.
Description of Work: They inspected the roof and chimney on a new home purchase. Advised that shingles were still good, probably for another 10 years. Recommended a cap over the flue pipe on the chimney. We were also given an estimate to replace 30-40 shingles missing from a detached garage. JP Lahr & Sons installed the cap on the chimney and at our request, replaced the missing shingles and covered the entire front side of the roof with new shingles so the street side shingles would match.

They did a really good job. It was a flat roof so we had some special request. We had some leaks in one corner but it had always done that so they came back and immediately repaired. They are very prompt when you call them, and they come right back out if there are any problems.

Overall I am happy. Only issue was I had asked for more color choices. Due to what appears to be a miscommunication in the company I was unable to. I tried to stop them and they were well into the work.

Overall, the experience was positive.
Description of Work: Mr. Lahr came out and looked at the two areas where my roof needed work. He was very professional and very kind. He said he could do the work for more money than it would cost if I used other services more suited with the job. I appreciate his honesty and would definitely use him again should a repair become necessary that calls for his services.

Response from JP LAHR & SONS ROOFING SERVICE INC
WE DO NOT JUST DO THE "QUICK & EASY WORK!" OUR BUSINESS IS PRIMARILY COMMERCIAL & INDUSTRIAL CONTRACTING (FLAT ROOFS). WE HAVE A TWO MAN CREW TO DO SHINGLE ROOFS OR REPAIRS AND AS SUCH DO NOT HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO DO A TEAR OFF WHICH REQUIRES MUCH MORE MAN POWER. WE DO COMMERCIAL TEAR OFFS WHICH IS AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT TYPE OF WORK. A GOOD COMMERCIAL LABORER DOES NOT ALWAYS MAKE A GOOD RESIDENTIAL LABORER! WE DO MANY RESIDENTIAL REPAIRS IN THE INDIANAPOLIS AREA THAT OTHER CONTRACTORS DO NOT WANT TO DEAL WITH BECAUSE THEY ARE TEDIOUS, NOT "QUICK & EASY." WE ARE ALWAYS UP FRONT WITH ANY POTENTIAL CUSTOMER AS TO WHAT OUR LIMITATIONS ARE. I FEEL THAT IF WE CANNOT BE OF SERVICE TO THE CUSTOMER THEY SHOULD KNOW THIS DURING THE INITIAL CONTACT. JAMES D. LAHR, PRESIDENT, LAHR ROOFING SERVICE

They don't have a crew for tear-offs, but they are very good in terms of availability. Working with them is like working with a neighbor. They are very down to earth and honest. Also if it's an emergency they're right there. They're great people.

The lady I spoke to was so nice. She let me know how busy they were and I asked if she had anyone she recommended. She referred me to Elite Roofing and they have been so nice too. I really like JP Lahr and Sons. They've done a roof for me in the past. They are just too busy right now.
