"Thank you for your kind review of our work and our company. We strive to offer excellent service above all else and appreciate the feedback. Enjoy your new roof! Maurice"
"Thank you for taking the time to write such a positive and flattering review. It was a pleasure working on your home and we were very pleased with the completed job. Let me know if there is ever anything else we can do for you. Sincerely, Maurice Richard"
They cleaned up the site each evening before leaving and were especially careful around the bushes, flowers, etc. Maurice has a hard working crew that works with you during the job and answers all questions as they arise. I would highly recommend Richard Roofing to anyone who wants a first class quality roofing job done.
Maurice Richard had availability the day after I called him. He and his team arrived promptly at the agreed on time. He stayed so supervise the whole process. Though he had said most snow/ice dam removal jobs run 1-1.5 hours, ours took longer because of the type of roof and severity of dams. They worked for 2.5 hours but only charged us for 2. Ice was over 3 feet thick in some spots. Very professional and courteous. I would recommend highly, without hesitation.
"[Member Name Removed], Thanks for the wonderful review; it's much appreciated. If there is anything else we can do for you, don't hesitate to call. Happy Spring! Sincerely, Maurice Richard."
The job was written with a 25yr shingle (I believe it was) and at the beginning of the job he asked if I wanted to upgrade to a 40yr(I believe). It was short money ( something like $160 or $170.) so we went with that.
The roof was done in 1994 and there has been no problems since.
"Hi [member name removed], I love hearing from customers whom I've done work for over 20 years ago. We take great pride in our work and are always pleased to hear from from our past clients. If ever you need any help or a free inspection, please let us know. Thank you for taking the time to write the review."
An architect down the street had recommended him to us. I thought roofers were rough and tough and had to be to keep from falling off in the hot sun. But Maurice was very different: educated, understated, enthusiasm for our house, but no sales pitch. He offered to do it for 20 k when two companies before were closer to 30 k.
But I forgot to say why we were replacing the roof. The roof we had was just a bad job. Shingles kept falling off on the lawn. Whoever did it took major shortcuts - like putting in one nail instead of the minimum of four.
Maurice and his men worked while we were on vacation. He found a lot of rotten boards and replaced them at no charge - just to stick with his estimate and not bother us while we were away. He had promised to clean up. Just to give you an idea of how cleaned up it was, I couldn't find one nail anywhere on the property. Of the hundreds he used, maybe thousands, I couldn't find one. In fact, I am sort of playing a game with myself to come up with at least one roofing nail. Kind of a souvenir of an excellent job.
"Thank you so much for the great review. We really enjoyed working on your home, it came out beautiful, especially with the addition of the siding on the front dormer. Maurice"
"Thank You for the great review. Contact us if we can ever be of further service. Sincerely, Maurice Richard"
My husband and I couldn't be more pleased with the work that was done. The crew was very professional and friendly. Mr. Richard or his son were always there to explain what they were doing and answered any questions I had.
I can't say enough just how happy we are with the services they provided and there is no question I would use them again and recommend them to anyone looking for roofing work."[Member name removed], Thank you for the great review. We appreciate the trust you put in us to work on your home. Sincerely, Maurice Richard"
There were a couple of issues. Main one concerned a pair of skylights. They had ordered these in advance, but supplier Harvey messed up the order somehow. Since roofing was already in process, they finished the roof and temporarily capped the holes. It was a wet period, and water came in during every storm. Gallons of water, which significantly damaged broad areas of floor and plaster, and made large ceiling and wall stains.
Stuff happens. But I was not pleased with the disbelief and denial I got when reporting this problem. They returned after a couple more storms, and did a lot more wrapping and taping. But the leaks continued almost unabated until the new skylights eventually arrived and were installed. I had many hours of repair to do; because of difficult access, some of it may have to wait a few more years.
I enjoyed dealing with this company, but was very disappointed by both the failure to secure those openings adequately, or to respond rapidly and effectively when the issue was reported. If they weren't so pleasant, and the main job so good (I hope), I'd have given a much lower score.
"First and foremost, I am surprised that a review can be made from a person with initials only and a PO Box. I know that this report if false. Any company that does work on a roof where damage occurs as a direct result of poor workmanship is responsible for the repairs from their negligence. I did not replace a roof in Lincoln for over a year, nor have I ordered custom skylights from Harveys for over 2 years, which makes this all the more confusing. It is my belief that you have mistaken my company for another. I can be reached at [email protected]."
