Description of Work: Repaired roof, including replacing rotten sheathing and facia. Installed new shingles and underlayment. Painted new wood. It went as agreed. I had confidence the work would be done in a good and workman-like manner and it was.

Description of Work: Dealt with a knowledgeable roofing professional, not a sales rep. Office was responsive. Did a quality job from selection of materials to installation of roof. Only problem was clean-up and follow-up. The install crew moved some heavy objects away from the house and didn't put them back in their places before leaving the site--including a large planter that was left in front of the garage door. It was very difficult for me to move these items by myself back to where they belonged. They also tore down some tree branches from above the house and left them in the shrubbery. (I'd had a professional arborist trim trees away from the house prior to the job.) I was able to gather most of these and cut them up with hand pruners for yard waste pick-up, but, in hind sight, I should have had the crew come back to do it. The repetitive action of using the pruners caused a flare-up of elbow tendinitis that I'm still treating. The crew chief for this job departed the company soon after, apparently taking photos of the job with him, so it was difficult to get answers as to whether they'd noticed anything of concern while the shingles were off. I think I may not have had the best crew for my job, but the company owners were professional and knowledgeable.

This company replaced approximately 2 dozen shingles that were cracked. They also caulked around ridge vents & roof outlets. This company was recommended to me by our Remax relator. The company's quality & responsiveness were excellent. Affordable prices, very punctual, professional workmen and who left the area free of debris. I would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone in need of roofing services.

This company is wonderful; they were so professional and pleasant to work with. It is refreshing to have a company that will listen and if you have an issue come right out and take care of it. They showed up on time and went right to work. They explained to my husband what they would be doing that day and the next. When I returned home from work that afternoon the roof was basically finished. They also did a very good job cleaning up my front and back lawn. The next morning, bright and early they were back to install the gutters, downspouts,and finished cleaning up. Also, a couple of week later I noticed some water stains by my wood burning stove pipe on the ceiling. Again, no problem came out and took care of it. At that time my husband and owner were discussing some of the trim around the sides and the owner was not happy with the way it looked so they took down and replaced several pieces. Cannot say enough about the wonderful experience with Walter Brown Roofing, they ROCK.
Description of Work: Replaced entire roof, including boards, and installed new gutters.

Matt, the owner and salesman, gave a no-pressure sales pitch that included additional work for items that he noticed needed attention and were of the type, "while we are here and have the materials, we will touch up this". It was clear that he knows his business and wants to provide good protection from the elements at a decent price. The price was lowest of the three quotes we received; however, the other quotes included brand-name accessories that improve the finished look as well as "certified by the manufacturer" workers. The operation is smaller than others and it takes a little more work to get what you want, but they are happy to work with you. The execution is where there was less than perfect satisfaction. We did not ask and we were not told that the job was going to take two days -- the other contractors had mentioned in the sales pitch that the work would be completed in one day, so we just made an assumption. The work was all covered between the days, so it was not a liability issue, just an inconvenience issue. The couple of times that Matt stopped by when they were doing the work, he provided the direction and recommendations to his crew that we had hoped would be there throughout the project. After completion, Matt did a quick walk-around inspection, but only from the ground. You will want to do as thorough of an inspection yourself after completion but before payment. After talking to him for a bit, he agreed to send someone out to take care of a few loose ends. That person took care of some, but not all of the items, so I just took care of the rest myself. As Matt assured, the work has been waterproof so far. Aesthetically, there are some areas that are not "neat", such as the ridge vent is a bit more wavy than the houses that had the "name brand" accessories. But with the savings by going with Walter Brown, we are going to be able to afford other home improvement projects as well as a weekend getaway this year.

We called W. Brown Roofing the morning after the storm, when we found all of the leaks. Despite a lot of calls for service, they came to our house the same day. Their estimate and recommendation was great, the work was completed the next day. Overall an excellent experience.
Description of Work: After a storm, I had several leaks in my 20 year old roof. While I received estimates from a number of vendors, all were for a new roof, costing in the 5 figures. Walter Brown Roofing made effective repairs, for less than $1K, that will extend the life of our roof by several years. I know that a new roof is in our future, but postponing that cost for several years represents a big savings. We found the Walter Brown Roofing company to be honest, effective, and responsive to our needs. When our roof does need to be replaced, we intend to call on them.

My wife and I were extremely pleased with every stage of the process dealing with Walter Brown Roofing. In the spring, Matt Cisna came out to our home to inspect and provide an estimate. He climbed on the roof, inspecting the roof. He went into the attic and inspected the wood. He wrote up a detailed estimate and recommended replacing the shingles and some of the wood. He completely explained the company process and products. There was no pressure to sign a contract. We got other estimates, but decided to go with Walter Brown Roofing. The crew showed up at 7AM and began covering the surrounding premises with tarps to protect our plants, sidewalks, etc. The five man crew worked steadily throughout the day and completed everything by 6PM. The project manager Bob was very informative about the process and provided many helpful suggestions for the care of my home. The roof looked great and they cleaned up everything as if they had never been there. I would strongly recommend this company to anyone.

I received three quotes on having my roof completely redone. One quote was from a company that I picked online and they came in at over $10K. A seond company, that was referred to me and rates high on Angie's List was approximately $9400 and then Walter Brown Roofing was the lowest at $7500. I had received a recommendation for Walter Brown Roofing from several of my old neighbors and I was not disappointed. Matt Cisna, the owner, is very professional and was punctual. He does not have a big sales pitch like some of the others, but he knows his business. They showed up when they were supposed to and got the job done. They cleaned up at the end of each day (2 day job) and left my yard as it was when they arrived. I would use them again and have all ready referred a friend of mine to them.
