We've been very disappointed with the customer service of this company. They replaced the roof on our house for the prior owners, and it is still under warranty. But we've been unable to get them out to repair a recent roof leak. We were even willing to pay for the repair out of pocket without using the warranty but still couldn't get them to return phone calls or emails or come out to do the work. Very very disappointing customer service. We realized they're not accredited by the BBB and now I understand why.

They were responsive and quick to provide an estimate. That was all they were good at. After sending the approval for work, I heard nothing. Several phone calls and voicemails later, I finally talked to Gary, who told me he would contact me later in the week to schedule a time to complete the job. Still waiting for that phone call, Gary.

The reroofing crew was efficient and professional. We have a lot of mature vegetation and other landscaping around our home. We appreciate that the crew was careful not to damage it. New roof looks great!

Excellent Job. Great crew. Early arrival, hard work by everyone all day. But finished in one day rather than two. All very courteous. At end of day, really thorough clean up. Couldn't be more pleased with their work.

badly -never followed up after cancelling one day due to weather
Description of Work: Based on a neighbors recommendation we contracted Coles for a small roofing problem which their response and price was very competitive. Only after cancelling my other 3 bids did they say that it would be 6 weeks before work began. After repeated calls and emails and 2 times cancelling the workday due to "weather" they did not answer 3 emails and 3 calls to reschedule. I finally contracted to one of the other bidders and within a day they came out and did the repair to my great satisfaction. I would not nor could not recommend these folks based on very poor customer relationships.

Greg came out went up on the roof for our estimate (the other contractors had not). He was very cordial and we had our written estimate the next day by email. He provided several options for upgrades and he replied to several of my questions promptly by email over the next few days. The email communications made this very easy. After we decided to go with Cole, we signed the proposal and emailed it back Greg kindly thanked us for offering them the job. Then there was a strange communication drop off with Greg for over a week while we were inquiring about scheduling. That had us concerned but then 4 days before they came out for the job he replied with the scheduling details. They did a fantastic job. Roof looks great and has been rain tested a few times since. They used some of our own roofing wood (saved from the house build).to patch where needed. It was very considerate of him to allow that in order for us to save money and not gouge us on materials. We even called him out to have a look at what we thought was an issue. We found a spare part next to our house that we thought was forgotten up top. He went up the next day and checked it all out. That was much appreciated. They accepted our payment by mail even though their policy is check in hand the day following completion. And they honored their AL discount in the price. All things considered we are very very pleased. We would use them again and recommend them.

Greg Cole is always fair and honest, and gives you all the options without pressure. His team did the work quickly and well, and cleaned up perfectly. I would hire them again in a second if I had work I needed done.

As poorly as possible. Cole managed to get a failing grade without even looking at my roof. Honor the promises you make on your website or change them.
Description of Work: We contacted Cole to get help with a leak. The have great reviews here and their website said they'd treat our home like there's. One of two things is possible: they live in a state of disrepair or their predatory in their pricing. When I spoke to someone at Cole and described the problem, they said it was minor and they emphasized they have a $450 minimum labor charge. The implication was, obviously, that they didn't want the job because it was less than that. When I asked why the minimum charge, the service rep told me "we can't make enough money for anything less than that." When I asked how the value of an hour's labor can change based on what is done during that hour, the rep hung up on me. Why would two hours fixing a minor leak be less value per hour of work fixing a leak on a roof than a major leak? If you mention a free estimate on your website, shouldn't you send someone out to check out the problem? So we still have a leak in our roof that Cole wouldn't even look at because based on my description of the problem they don't think they can make enough money. Like I said, this is not the mindset I imagine anyone at Cole has about her/his own house. I can't speak to the quality of work because Cole never actually did any work. What I can say is that they are deceptive in their customer-friendly language. If they're only interested in big projects, they should say so. If there is a minimum charge, they should say so. If they determine the value of an hour's labor based on some hidden standard, it's then worth asking: how much are they over-charging at any hourly rate in order to make "enough" money on the job? At best, they're advertising deceptively. They would be the last call I'd make for any subsequent roof work.

It was very good and they showed up on time. He doesn't always respond to his requests so I was a little worried. But he came and scheduled. He did a grand job. They cleaned up things they didn't even mess up. It was excellent.

After getting two other quotes we tried to contact them about doing the work. After several calls they finally returned our call and apologized for having been on vacation. They were busy and wanted to setup a time for the following week. They never called use back and never returned our calls. Not good...

Greg Cole was very easy to work with, responded in a timely manner to questions over e-mail or phone. His crew did a good job, cleaned up after themselves, they even took extra time to repair a skylight. I had wind and hail damage to my roof and Greg helped me through the claims process.

The roof replacement went well. My sixteen year old three tab roof on my ranch style house was replaced with an architectural roof. The price quote was very competitive based on the other quotes I received from other highly rated companies. The scheduling was very convenient and the company was responsive to my questions throughout the process. I received roof shingle samples from the company to select my roof color prior to installation. The new roof looks great!

They used plenty of tarps to collect old shingles and all workers used magnetic nail collectors to be sure all old roofing nails were removed from grounds. The removal and reshingling took about 17 hours over two days.

Great, they were fast and the new roof looks great. They quoted a fair price for the work and stayed close to the estimate despite having to replace 10 boards. They left the place clean. I am also going to use them for new gutters and siding repairs.
