Fast forward 2 years to 2015, the worst winter in Boston. We developed ice damns and even worse water damage in the same areas we had before. We called Jay who gave us a quote and an estimate time to come look at the roof and remove the snow. He never showed up and he never called. Strike two.
After the estimated time had come and gone, we called Jay back. He apologized and took 50% off the quote and gave us a new estimated time to finish the work. He never showed up, and never called. Strike three.
Out of curiosity we called Jay again. This time he said he felt so bad and that he would clear the roof for free. Unsurprisingly he never showed up and never called. Is it so hard to just be honest?
Completed the work one day ahead of schedule.
Showed us the repairs, advised us of some issues with rake boards.
Was very professional, competent, easy to work with.
Would happily recommend them to anyone needing roofing work.
The crew of two arrived alone and were very polite but lacked the tools to really remove ice dams and snow on our roof. We have a slate roof an copper gutters and were very nervous,about the axe and plain shovel they used.
All said and done, we still have water issues and provider has not retuned subsequent communications. We paid nearly 1k for 2 hours work thta did not solve our concern.
This guy is just a mess and clearly can't stay organized with all the demand, although the I did see he jacked his prices up for us vs others.
Don't hire him.
We could not have asked for better service and didn't expect to find someone who was so willing to come help right away, especially during this incredibly busy snow season when everyone is having these kinds of problems. We feel lucky to have found Jay and Able Roofing!
We moved into our house in July so this is our first winter here and are getting to know how everything works, what needs updating, etc. We knew we needed insulation but were hoping to wait until spring to do it and had no idea how bad the ice dams would be. Jay not only solved our immediate problem, but also offered advice about what to do in the short term to help prevent them from re-forming. He also made suggestions about longterm updates we could do to more permanently fix the problem.
We will definitely be in touch with Jay in the spring to help make next winter leak free!
VERY WELL !
The roof was leaking and in need of replacing. They were the origiinal shingles (over 40 years old).
They came the same day we called them and inspetced my father-in-laws roof.
They explained the new technologies that were available to us to prevent water and ice damage.
Soon we had a quote and a date was set to start the job. As stated they arrived the day we agreed upon.
We are very satisfied with this project and how smoothly it was completed!
I called Jay Bullens at Able Roofing, and another roofer with good references to give me estimates. Jay met me the next day, and gave me an estimate on the spot, which made me a little wary. A week later the other roofer was able to meet me for his estimate. He got back to me the next day with his price - $1k lower than Able, but with lower quality materials, and without the service of having the roof drain professionally cleaned.
I was happy to go with Able - they had come out to replace a rotted soffit the previous year, which no one else would take on, because the job was too small or too high (3rd floor roof).
Within days, with the forecast for more snow and heavy rain, Jay moved us to the top of his list, got the materials ordered and installed before my tenants were flooded again. I would absolutely recommend Jay and his Able Roofing team for jobs large and small.
They showed me some pictures from up close and the work looks great. Additionally, they blew out my gutters without me even asking and cleared the debris off of the stairs and patio. They also gave me some peace of mind by inspecting a previous leak, a gutter I was concerned about, and did some free caulking for me.
I was happy with their responsiveness and price, and extremely impressed they went over and above my expectations.
This past February, we also had a leak. We used Able Roofing then as well. I was impressed that they volunteered to credit us for the amount spent last February.
They were very professional and easy to work with. I would highly recommend them.
