W E Griffin Roofing

Had to wait 8 weeks for service. Came promptly, cleaned up daily and done in 3 days. Higher than other estimates.

After several roofing companies told me what good condition by house's roof was in and how I had 10 years left with it, etc. I felt like I was living in the Twilight Zone when it would not stop leaking. We would get it patched only to watch the leak start again with every rain storm. Very frustrating, to say the least. I called W.E. Griffin and Matt Hoffman was over promptly. He saw what nobody else did....that the roof had been put on in such a cheap and shoddy manner, it didn't matter that the shingles were in technically good condition. The roof was a disaster. Since the project was enormous, Matt found a way to divide it so that we could do an entire reroof in different parts. This was part one. Once they removed the roof, they discovered the underlying plywood to be so rotted that one of the workers actually had his boot go through the rotten wood into my bathroom where the leak was. It was in dreadful condition and Griffin replaced all the plywood. They also alerted me to the terrible condition my chimneys were in, another oversight by every other roofing company. Fact is, the chimneys were crumbling. The house was built in 1904 so this wasn't terribly unexpected, but no other company even mentioned it). To prevent future leaking, Griffin put in a copper W valley to make sure the water could not slide down the steep roof and slide under the shingles in the valley. They completed the work in a week and cleaned up very nicely. It's been months and no more leaking. This roofing compamy knows their stuff and they do NOT TAKE SHORTCUTS. I am convinced that the only reason all these other roofing companies get business is because more people are interested in the job being done as fast and cheap as possible. All that does is create more work down the line. I have learned a thing or two about roofing just through talking to Matt Hoffman, who is more knowledgeable than all the other roofers I saw put together. And it is fairly eye- opening. Anyway, Griffin is currently doing the rest of the house and they will do every other roofing project (and carpentry project) i ever have. It makes me furious to think that this historic house we bought only six or seven months ago was rotting away under the shingles and no other roofing company could even understand why it was leaking! All I can say is Hoffman and W.E. Griffin make everyone else look like they do not know what the heck they are talking about. Bottom line, if you are interested in having your roof done right, go with Griffin. If you are interested in having your roof replaced every 12-13 years as your housing structure starts to rot away as long as it's done as cheaply as possible, then I don't know what to tell you!

Mr. Griffin was very straightforward in providing his opinion of the problem with the roof and seemed very knowledgeable.  His estimate was around the same as several others but I liked his obvious knowledge of roofing so I picked him.  His men did a great job as described above.  

 Griffin is the best roofing company in the area, bar none.  I gave them an A for price because, while not the cheapest, they are fair and far from the most expensive.  They are professionals through and through.  they know their stuff.  They will not cut corners.  They won't do the job if they can't do they job right and guarantee their work.

My old roof had leaked for years.  I had had many different roofers look at it and patch it.  Then, after one huge storm, I had major, major damage. With Griffin, my luck changed.

Matt Hoffman is a true professional.  He knows his business, as do all of his crews.  He's no-nonsense and they get the job done and they do it right.

I can't recommend them highly enough.  In fact, I do recommend them to everyone I know and am using them again on another project in another location.  

I called Matt Hoffman. He returned my call promptly and came over within a couple of days to give me an estimate. It seemed reasonable enough for a roofing material that is quite expensive. I told him that we would like to go ahead. There was a delay in having them start the work, but I was not in any rush. The work looks beautiful. It was a very well done job by people who work with slate (not exactly easy to find). The invoice was slow in coming, but it was very clearly spelled out. I will definitely be using them again, though hope we won't need to for a while!

They can be hard to get scheduled, but they do good work at a very low price. Mr. Griffin himself came out and got right down to business. He's not a chatty person. He just gets down to business and does the work.

I think that they seemed to be very knowledgeable about what I needed done. Once the workers got here, they did a great job of getting the work done. He did not require any payment until the work was completely finished. He does not use any contracts though. We have been happy with their work. They had cleaned up nicely when they were finished. We would use them again.

Job was professionally done, on time, and as promised. I'd hire him again in a heartbeat.

They were good and he is a knowledgeable roofer. He is experienced with slate roofing. They came on time and finished when they were supposed to. They do tend to be busy and you have to wait a little while. They cleaned up when they were finished. They were very professional and reasonably priced.

Awesome service.

This is a long-time, well-respected and very professional company. They take great pride in their work, and they should. The work is meticulous. The owner is so, so knowledgeable. I am so thankful that I fund them through Angie's List.

The owner came and did the job for us. He is very knowledgeable about the roofing business and answered all our questions. I had called around and he had the best price around. I would recommend them.

They are very good.

MR. GRIFFIN, THE OWNER, IS AN EXTREMELY EXPERIENCED ROOFER. HE HAS DONE COUNTLESS HOUSES IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. I GOT HIS NAME FROM AND NEIGHBOR AND A REAL ESTATE AGENT WHO SELLS HOMES IN OUR AREA. MR. GRIFFIN WENT UP ON MY ROOF HIMSELF TO CHECK THE PROBLEM, UNLIKE SOME OF THE ROOFERS WHO WILL SEND AN ESTIMATOR AND THEN GET BACK TO YOU WITH THE COST. I DID NOT HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING UNTIL THE JOB WAS COMPLETE. ALSO, MR. GRIFFIN PATCHED SOME SMALL HOLES WE HAD IN THE ROOF FOR NO ADDITIONAL COST. HIS WORKERS WERE COURTEOUS AND CLEANED UP AFTER EACH DAY'S WORK.
