They worked well with the insurance estimate. When they started to take off the roof they noticed that the roof was actually not done right, there was not insulation or aligning and the wood was not properly put, so, they went ahead and replaced all of that. They were just very caring and trustworthy people. We were very pleased with them.
Description of Work: They replaced our roof and installed some new windows.

Without a doubt this is one of the best and most conscientious companies with whom I have ever dealt. The roof looks amazing, the clean-up was incredible, they worked hard and completed the project quickly, plus my satisfaction was actually important to them. I have encouraged friends and family to call them with their jobs and everyone thanks me for referring them. What a fortuitous day it was to have found them. Thanks again, Universal Roofing and thank you, Angie's list.

I had a horrible experience working with Universal Roofing. They came out on time to do the installation. They installed the roof crooked and wavy, because the people who came out to do the work were not trained. The tiles were not straight and they had to rip the roof off twice. I am now having streaking in the roof and I ordered algae free roofing. I have algae all over my roof and I cannot figure out if I got what I paid for or if the shingles are defective. I have not been able to get the problem resolved. Following my complaints about the roof not being installed correctly there was a large group of the workers that came to my home and I had to scream at them to make them leave. The entire experience has been extremely stressful.

At first the roof was fine, but winter came and the roof leaked. I tried call them a couple of times. Took them 2-3 weeks to get out here and then another 2-3 weeks to fix it. Their post-response needs to be better.

They did a good job on the roof but their service wasn?t very timely - I had to keep calling them. They got the job done quickly and didn?t leave a mess. I had originally had them look at a spot that needed to be redone because of a leak. After talking to them, they talked about redoing the whole roof because it was getting to be an older roof, and they were able to give me an estimate for the whole roof. They let me know that it would be less expensive to redo the whole roof rather than add a small section. That was helpful. Once they got here, they got the job done quickly and I had no problems with them. They also sent the warranty and all those sorts of things.

They were very helpful about showing us samples and helping us to decide on colors. They came out and did the job. There were a couple of issues that they had to come back and repair, however we were pleased with their work overall. We thought that the price was fair for all of their work.

It went on very well and they did a good job. Initially they came and fixed the skylight, but it started leaking when it rained. So they had to come and redo the work completely. They did some inspection of the roof and gave me something to protect the roof from going bad.

Rob and his brother owned the company. I earlier had my house painted in 2007, but had problems with it. It was very complicated, so they had a difficult time. They had to scrape and prime the whole house. Then they re-painted. They really had a challenge, yet they stayed with it and did a great job. There was a young man in charge and he was very kind. He listened and addressed my concerns. The crew was fine and was very respectful. They got the job done and cleaned up well. If there was any problem, I told them and they took care of it. I did get cheaper estimates than what they quoted. I would use them in future if needed.

They did a great job and I got a $200 discount because they are on Angieslist. Rob and his brother owned the company. He came down and gave me the estimate. He was a very personable and a great guy. I contracted with them and they kept me informed about when they would be here. They showed up with 12 or 14 guys. They tore off the old roof and they worked like bees on honey. They were very professional and got the job done. I had one little problem and they came back and addressed it. I was very happy with their work. His price was in line with other estimates. I would use them in future if need be.

They took off the old roof and replaced it. They did some repairs on the sub roof. They did a fine job. They cleaned up very well after themselves; it is difficult to say that they were there. They explained everything. They seemed to have all the correct papers like bonded insurance and other documentation. I was really impressed. We found them through the insurance adjuster. We did not get any other estimates. They finished the job in one day. It looks great. They did it last Friday. According to the insurance agent, the price was reasonable. A part of the expense will be paid by the insurance company.

I can not say enough good things about Universal Roofing and Rob Yeary. Before giving them the job, I sat down with Rob and explained our unique situation. We have three tenants - all medical - with different days of the week that are the busiest. As the owners, we wanted to keep business disruptions to a minimum for all tenants and patients. Rob brought his entire crew to work on a weekend! I couldn't believe it! By Monday afternoon, it was finished. I walked around on Tuesday morning and couldn't find a single stray nail, shingle or piece of paper...our property was spotless. Also, we had a delay in getting the check from the insurance company but Rob went ahead and did the work.

I contacted Universal to inspect 5 of my properties for potentail hail damage to the roofs. I did this in two different groups because of different insurers. The initial group simply had proposals for new roofs - no information on what was found or if a new roof was really needed. I did not receive the inspections I asked for. The quotes sent were the highest cost of all roofing companies I contacted. There was no information on what was sent and what should be done - just a quote in an envelope. For the second group, I already had inspections performed by my insurance company, so I asked for propsals. These propsals were also the highest of all companies contacted. The quotes were very basic. The additional materials that were sent along with the quotes (Angie award list letter, Angie's List Awards, proof of insurance, etc.) were clearly all photocopies. The photocopies were of poor quality and gave a bad impression.
Description of Work: We did not end up using Universal Roofing because of their high prices, communication issues with them and the poor quality materials they sent us with their proposals.

Overall, Universal did a very good job. Communication at first was a little sketchy, but I understand how busy they are in the summer. I'll give them a pass on that. On site supervision was very good. They manned the job very well, and cleaned up after themselves well. I'm very pleased with the results.

Universal gave us a quote and after we agreed to use their company, they were at our house within the week. They took care of the roof/gutters when they said they would. In tearing off the old roof, they were very good about making sure the old roof was disposed of properly and our yard was completely free of anything from the roof. The employees did an excellent job and our roof and gutters look fantastic! Universal Roofing have their employees nail the shingles on the roof, not use a staple gun like other roofers I have seen in our neighborhood. This company does excellent work and gave us a fair price. In fact, their price was slightly lower than our insurance company had come up with. I highly recommend Universal Roofing.

When I called, I was told that they were very busy and it would be a couple of weeks before they would call and schedule an appointment to inspect my roof. That was fine with me. I'd rather wait for a company with a good reputation. In the meantime, our insurance company approved roof replacement. After waiting 4 weeks, I finally contracted the job to another company. They did call back after almost a month to see if I still needed their help. They were sorry about the delay. I understand the situation of being real busy but a month to call for an appointment is too much for me. It makes me wonder how long it would take to actually get the job done.

Response from Universal Roofing LLC
We are not deserving of this negative report, and it is very unfortunate that this member felt compelled to issue it only four days from talking to our office. In fact, contrary to the report, we try to give all our callers quality customer service, which is evidenced by that fact that we DID answered his initial call immediately, and then, in fact, DID give him a return call but receive no answer on his end. Then, after subsequent attempts, did reach him by phone, only to find out he had already hastily submitted this report. Obviously, having been a previous customer, this member had confidence in our workmanship, which is why he wanted to hire us again. We regret we were not able to have him as a repeat customer, as we are sure he would have been pleased once again with the quality of our work. Admittedly, prior to this member calling, being short staffed in the office, we had been slower than we’d like to field the high call volume produced by the recent storms. However, those key personnel had since returned back to work, and we have continuously tried improving our customer service.

After getting estimates of companies, we chose Universal Roofing and a date was scheduled for work. We were told, in detail, who would be arriving when, who the foreman was, how long it would take, and what clean-up would involve. The work started on time, Daniel supervised all the work and answered ALL questions. The job was finished in one day, WOW! Daniel made sure that things were done to our satisfaction and went above and beyond our expectations. He was very professional and understanding. When picking out a new single, it's difficult to tell how the end result will look. Our new roof looks better than expected and in great part due to Daniel and his crew. They had to come back for some cleanup of the brick chimney and the guys were extremely nice, helpful, and thorough.

We apologize to this member for not getting back to him as quickly as we would like. Certainly one of our goals is to address all calls in a timely matter. Unfortunately, as stated previously, we have been very short staffed in the sales and office areas these past few weeks while fielding an unusually high call volume due to the recent storm damage. Nonetheless, while we may be slower to respond than usual, we would like to assure all potential customers that we are still performing the same quality workmanship and service we have always been known for. We look forward to the return of our staff members and serving our customers in the timely matter in which we prefer to operate.

Wayne came out within a couple of hours of calling and applied the tarp. I received the estimate for repair within a day. The roofers worked diligently from about 7:30am until the job was completed. I had been told that the job would be completed around 4pm. Unfortunately, there was a portion of roof that needed additional attention, so the crew did not complete the job until 9:30pm - and this was just about the hottest day of the year!

Total disappointment. We waited to sign with other companies for this estimate. We didn't get past asking for an estimate.
Description of Work: Called to ask for an estimate. Universal returned the call days later and left a message for us. Now 3 days after calling them back, no call. Granted, roofers are busy right now due to hail damage. But I guess they are not interested in our business. I'm very disappointed - based on ratings on Angie's List, I thought this was the contractor for us. We will sign with another company.

Unfortunately, there are some storm chasing companies with the name UNIVERSAL in their titles. We hope members do not confuse them with our company. Hopefully, this wasn’t the case with this member. It is very regretful that this may have happened. Just as the member stated, due to the recent hail storms it has been a very busy time for us. As stated, it appears that did return her initial call. Unfortunately, our office manager’s previously scheduled vacation fell during this very busy time, leaving us extremely short handed in the office. We apologize to this member and any other member who may have called in and not received the immediate attention we, under normal circumstances, would be able to give them. Notwithstanding, with a little patience and understanding during this hectic time, every member will receive the individual attention, years of experience, and quality service UNIVERSAL ROOFING is known for! We hope that this member’s impatience did not prompt them to choose a storm chasing, fly-by night company, but another company with an ‘A’ rating such as ours.

It was a very good experience. Rob came out to give me the quote and he was very professional and explained everything in detail that they would be doing. When I called for more samples, Rick was very polite and sent whatever I asked for. The workers arrived on time, got right to work. Removed the old roof very quickly. They kept the windows and shrubs protected from debris. they put all of the debris into a trailer that they brought for the purpose. The workers were very courteous. They spoke only Spanish, however the job foreman spoke fluent Spanish. So any question I had, he was able to translate. The group completed the job in eight hours flat. It looks wonderful. They cleaned the jobsite so well. I only found two nails and a couple pieces of paper later. Excellent work. The price seemed a bit high at first, but taking into consideration the market and how anything petroleum has doubled in price over the last year, I felt it was fair.
