Georgoulis Construction Inc

First class job at a very fair price Bottom line...I highly recommend Georgoulis Roofing and Construction. Our experience with them could not have been any better. I wasn't looking forward to finding a new contractor, especially since there seems to be so many small roofing companies out there. We used a roofer on our old house years ago and we would not use them again. We also knew of a roofer that our neighbor used, but he ended up over-estimating the roof size, which resulted in much higher costs for materials and labor. I don't think he really wanted the job. I saw great reviews for Georgoulis on multiple web sites, and I preferred to deal with a local company. Since I relied on those reviews, I wanted to share our experience for the benefit of others. Al Greene (Director of Field Operations) was great to work with. He was always extremely responsive, replying to all of our emails in a very timely manner (almost always within 24 hours or less). We looked at both Certainteed and GAF shingles, and decided on Certainteed Landmark (Pewterwood color). Moises, Christian and the rest of the roofing crew did a great job. Our house is 2500 sq ft...2 stories plus a side family room and the roof has a fairly good grade (roofers had to use safety ropes). They said the existing 1-layer roof would be stripped and replaced in two days, and it was. There were seven workers the first day and they worked a 12 hour day. There were three workers the second day and they worked 10 hours. They moved along at a really good pace. They placed blue tarps to protect the shrubs, walkway and deck. They then placed larger black tarps from the roof edge to the ground to protect the house itself. The crew also used several large magnets to search for nails all around the grounds and the lawn when done. There were only a few minor follow-up issues that required fixing - nothing unexpected for such a dirty job. A few asphalt marks on the siding and aluminum flashing from the shingle debris. There were also a couple of pieces of white aluminium flashing that had to be bent during installation in order to get the shingles all of the way in. This was completely understandable. Since we had a prior problem with bats in one of those areas, we asked them to restore the flashing to its original snug fit. They took care of everything right away. We also had three window screens that were damaged by shingle debris on the second day (minor scraps from the new roof; large black house tarps are only up during roof removal on day 1; had to be removed from the roof edge in order to install the new roof). I offered to take the screens to be repaired and Georgoulis reimbursed us. In hindsight, I wish I had taken the screens out. Kevin and Billy installed 10 sets of new vinyl shutters as well as a rain diverter over the front steps. They also addressed some of the clean-up issues. We covered the items in our attic since we knew there would be lots of granules going through the ridge vent during removal. We also took down anything hanging on the walls that might fall due to vibrations (mirrors, framed pictures, etc). Turns out we probably didn't need to do that, but better safe than sorry. We've already had a few good rain storms and there are no leaks or issues with the new roof. The builder had used inferior shingles when they built the house. We had a couple of leaks and had shingles blow off several times over the years due to the wind (due to lack of tar adhesive on the shingles). We now know that we have a solid, high quality roof. Everyone involved was great from start to finish. We couldn't have asked for more. It really exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend Georgoulis to family and friends and would definitely use them again for any job.

They did an excellent job, left no trace, and were in and out of there in half a day. I would absolutely hire them again.

New roof process starts with researching roofing contractors via referrals and web searches, such as Angie's list.  Then research on the different brands of singles is needed.  I found Georgoulis Roofing via GAF website, which has listings for Master Elite Contractors.  After 6 estimates,  Georgoulis Roofing was in the middle.  The estimator answered all my questions and performed all the work I requested.  The lead time for the job start date was 2-3 weeks.  The job was started 2.5 weeks after I signed the contract.  The workers showed up on time.  The Crew of 5, completed the job in one day.  Approximately 26-30 sq for the job.  The crew did one last walk through for clean-up checking for debris and nails.  Note on nail removal, a magnetic is used to sweep the area, which does not work on aluminum nails.  The crew has a leaf blower for clearing debris, but I recommend second sweep with your own leaf blower to clear the sidewalks and driveway.  Note on tarps used to catch shingles during removal.  Some of the tarps had long holes , which allowed some of the shingles to scrape on the siding of the house, leaving black marks. The supervisor for the job needed to come back to install heat wires and the zinc strips the next day.  Overall, I was very satisfied with the job and recommend using Georgoulis Roofing for your roofing needs.
