The inspection was fine, the estimate was high.

The work was done just fine. But it was three weeks before we heard from Nash. And another month before the job was done.

The whole process went very well. Mr. Nash came on time to do the inspection. Then, gave me an estimate when requested, and did the work quickly and efficiently. He gave us some advice on the matching of the color of the roof with the color of our house that proved to be very helpful. The new roof is beautiful. His workers were mindful of the scrubs and plants to the best of their abilities when removing the old roof material, and were fast and efficient with installing the new roof in 90+ degree weather! It was particularly helpful that he kept us informed of any wear and tear discoveries that were uncovered during installation, and made suggestions for solving them. He returned after the next big rain storm to see if everything was OK, and sent a small crew to clear out a downspout that was not working properly. All in all it was a very good experience. I would recommend Nash and Sons to any one looking for a great roofing contractor and a decent price.

Provider cleaned gutters, but didn't do the downspouts, which one was clogged, and so the service was not very effective. Provider also left tools behind, and I'm not sure they ever picked them up.

Their man came out and did an inspection in early March and said the report would be e-mailed.
On April 2, I e-mailed asking where the report was.
The same day, Nash e-mailed saying he'd already sent it. I replied same day it hadn't arrived and asked him to be sure to send it to the same e-mail we were using.
On April 3, I e-mailed it still hadn't arrived.
No response.
On April 29, I said no report received and that I wanted my $59 back.
No response as of today May 11.
Guess I'm ripped off.
I want my money back.

They did exactly what I asked them to do for me. They were very professional. The scheduling was easy and they were out within a reasonable amount of time.

There were no troubles with scheduling. They were able to complete the work quickly. They were very nice and did a great a great job cleaning the gutters. However, they were trying to us sell a new a roof after we just had it replaced. They were telling us that our roof was not sloped properly.
Response from Michael F Nash & Sons Inc
"Asphalt shingles can only be installed on a certain pitch of a roof, that is why is is called a steep slope product in the industry. When a roof is at a 3 pitch or lower it is supposed to be installed with a low slope roof product, like a rubber roof. We had explained this to the homeowner. Unfortunately he had the incorrect type of roof installed on part of his home."

Upon inspection Jeremiah determined that our roof was generally in great shape; but there were some areas of concern that needed to be addressed. First, our chimney was showing signs of age and wear and so he brought in a mason to repoint the bricks and repair the concrete cap. He, also, resealed the plumbing vent pipes.
Second, Jeremiah and his crew addressed the situation that led my wife and I to consult a roofing specialist in the first place. A year or two prior to our family acquiring the house, the previous owners had installed a new roof on the property. The roofer that had done the job used an odd approach; and for reasons that can't seem to be explained, that roofer did not cut a ridge vent so the house was not "breathing" properly. Jeremiah and his team removed the old cap shingles (some of which were in the midst of failing) and properly vented the ridge of our roof. Jeremiah explained that with the ridge properly vented, we should notice a marked difference in the efficiency of our central air conditioning system this summer. While that does remain to be seen (It's early April as I type this), the assessment matches up with the HVAC specialist who installed our system and originally alerted us to the lack of proper venting on our roof.
Working with Michael and Jeremiah was a great experience. They are honest, friendly, knowledgeable and very reliable. While my wife and I certainly hope we won't have further need of roofing services any time soon, we would not hesitate to hire Nash & Sons again. I cannot recommend them highly enough. We had a great experience working with them.

Met with Jeremiah from Michael Nash & Sons. He and a colleague came to our house and conducted a THOROUGH inspection of our entire roof. They took pictures and walked on the roof to examine all areas of a previous roof job we had 5 years ago. We had begun to experience bad leaks in the kitchen and den as a result of improper sealing and poor installation.
Jeremiah showed my husband the photos he had taken and explained what was wrong. A few days later we received a highly detailed and professional estimates for a. repairing the biggest problems; or b. an entire new roof (as asked).
Were were pleased by his obvious love of his work and the professional manner in which he explained what was needed to us. We do plan to go ahead with one of the options; just haven't decided yet, and today I called him for an estimate on garage repairs. We look forward to working with them and expect a quality job. Will post again once the work is complete.

It was fine. He came in, did the inspection, and e-mailed the report yesterday. It took a while for him to e-mail us the report, but everything else was fine.

They checked the sided of the roof because not all of our roof had to be done. My husband's first expectation was that they would tell us that it was more than was initially contracted for and he was prepared for that, they did not, which was the first thing that impressed us because we wouldn't have known. The work was very excellent. They were very responsible, very neat and clean. We're just extraordinarily pleased and we'd be glad to give recommendation. We were particularly impressed because the handyman who does work for us cleaned out the leaves and he was impressed also with the way it was finished and we would be glad to give a verbal recommendation for them to anyone who would one to call us. They were lovely people. We had work done in our house before and we had a lot of damage and assured us there would be none, took care of them, covered things, and nothing was harmed in any way.

"This review is a complete shock to me as this member bought this inspection deal over a year ago and is just putting in a review now and I tried contacting this person 7 times after I sent them the inspection report and estimate and they never returned any of my attempts to contact them to acknowledge they received the report and estimate, nevermind to try and schedule to do the work. So I have no idea why we are getting a D rating for not doing the work. The member bought the deal for a roof inspection and report which we provided. The member bought the deal on 12/22/12. I contacted the member on 12/28/12 after the holidays. I again contacted the member on 01/04/13 and told the member that we would be out once the weather broke and we would perform the roof inspection as soon as possible, and that if there was a problem with that to contact us. On 01/18/13 I emailed the member the roof inspection report and estimate. On 01/19/13 the member emailed me back all upset that how could I perform the report if they had not even scheduled the date yet. She then accused us of showing up announced and walking into her backyard without her permission. After I spoke with my father he told me he went to the house personally and rang the doorbell and spoke to the lady at the home who walked him around the house and showed him the issues with the roof. I tried emailing the member 4 more times after this even apologizing that she was upset that we went with her scheduling it, even though I had stated this in my emails to her before, and that I would personally go back out and redo the inspection and report for free. I never heard back from any of my emails and now it has been over a year and this review just was put in. We made every attempt to try and schedule, perform the work, contact the member after, and even to try and redo the deal for free until the member was completely satisfied but they never ever returned any of our attempts."

The actual appointment went well and he is compiling the information and sending me a quote for tear out and install of a new roof and gutters.
It took a while for us to make the appointment mostly due to the weather.
Overall, I was pleased.

It was an Angie's List Big Deal that I purchased. It turned out good. They did the job and they were on time. They gave me a quote and we negotiated a little bit. I didn't go up my roof to take a look. They gave me a before and after photo which I thought was neat.They seemed to be reliable. It was a father and son and I trusted them and I would use them again. Hopefully I will not need to use them again because hopefully they fixed my roof. The price was fair. I paid like $150. They did something for about $800, we took out the $150, and that's the deal. It was a good deal. They were on time, they were pleasant, they were polite and professional and I would use them again.

It was an Angie's List Big Deal that I purchased. They were very nice. They were prompt, professional and friendly. They wrote up the report and sent it to me. It was he and his son. They didn't try to add any extra costs or anything so it was a good experience.

The big problems were scheduling and communication. I thought that we were set for a Friday, and had taken the day off. When no one showed up, I made several phone calls and was told that I needed to make a down payment and pick out the shingles. They thought I had been sent an email detailing this, but I never received it. So we re-scheduled for the following the Tuesday. Again, I took the day off, but they called to say it was raining and we needed to re-schedule. I cannot fault them for the rain, but I could not take another day off. They told me I did not have to be at home, so they came when I was at work. It was uncomfortable for me not to be present, but they did install the roof in one day. It looks good, we've had some rain, no torrential downpours, but we have had rain and there have been no problems with the roof. Because of all the scheduling problems, it was a couple of days before they returned to clean up. This was inconvenient, because I could not use my garage until they returned. Again, the roof is fine, it was just the scheduling problems that concerned me.
In general, I think Angie's list could do a better job with regards to service territory. This contractor is located in Randolph. My house is in Framingham. With the first contact, I asked if Framingham was in their service territory and they said yes. In hindsiight, I should have known better. The day they cancelled due to rain, it was sunny in Framingham, but raining in Randolph. The distance made a difference. In the future, I will not do business with contractors more than 20 miles away.
Another lesson learned would be to ask about the size of the dumpster. The one they put in my driveway was so big, it took up half the driveway. It was less than half full at the completion of the work, so I don't think it was necessary to use such a big dumpster.

"I'm a little shocked from this review as I thought I had explained everything to the member. I had sent the contract and payment information through email as the member wanted to get the roof installed right away and it was difficult tying to get a time to meet to sign the contract. I explained that the dumpster and material would be delivered a day or so before we started the roof so everything would be there the day of the roof install. We had spoken about having the roof install date to be that Friday and after she signed the contract and paid the deposit online, I sent her a follow up email with a link to the GAF website in order to look over the shingle colors and get back to me. I did not hear back from her until that Friday when she called to see if we were starting the roof that day. I asked her if she had received my email and told her since I didn't hear back from her the materials were never ordered because how could I order the shingles without knowing what color she wanted on her home. The member laughed at this as she realized that it would be impossible for me to order the material and also we would never pick a color for a homeowner without their input. This is why I am surprised by the review because I believe there was miscommunication or a misunderstanding from both sides, not just from our company. I don't think any homeowner would make the mistake of expecting a roof to be installed on a certain day when they hadn't even picked out a color for the shingles yet. Another issue was when the member called me upset when the dumpster was being delivered because she somehow didn't realize that the dumpster being delivered would take up a spot in front of the garage. She went and spoke with the driver and decided on which side she wanted the dumpster to be placed, so I thought this would be the end of the issue with the dumpster. The day of the install it was raining in Randolph where one of our offices are but I emailed the homeowner at 6:35AM on Tuesday and explained to her that even though it was raining in Randolph, the forecast in general predicted rain until 10AM that day so that we would have to postpone the install until the next day. I don't think any homeowner would want us to strip an entire roof off their home when the possibility of rain was in the forecast. Again, I am surprised by the review because of this as well. Finally, concerning the dumpster, dumpsters are ordered and filled by weight not by volume. The member had a large sized roof with two layers, and so we ordered a dumpster that would hold all the weight from the amount we were taking off. Since shingles are so heavy, they sit at the bottom of the dumpster, so the dumpster will always seem to be half filled but in actuality the dumpster was at the maximum of 5 tons when it was brought to the disposal facility. It did rain after we completed the roof so that is why the final cleanup was done when everything had dried up. I'm sorry that the member thought that there was a big miscommunication here but I believe part of it had to do with misconceptions from the member after things were discussed especially about weather conditions, choosing a color, and concerning the dumpster. As we move forward we will definitely explain these things further."
