Bob has shown no indication that he will resolve these issues. I probably will have to rent a lift and address the problems myself (2-story house).
I guess Angie's will not let me enter a separate review for the roofing job done by Talbot roofing. Execution and follow up for this job (2013) were excellent and I was very satisfied and that is why I gave the siding job to Talbot. I would give Talbot high marks for their work on that job. Experiences a year later on the siding job were very different.
I am frustrated and will now have to hire someone else to fix the problem. If you are going to spend your hard earned money on a roofing contractor, my advice is to find someone who will backup their work.
From initial contact through job completion, the service was excellent.
I will use the Talbot construction team again.
I asked what their rate was but never received a response. On Monday morning, I sent out an email at 8 am stating that I had a quick 30 minute errand to run and that they could contact me via cell should they arrive in my absence. At 9:30, I got an email response that they would be here around noon. All of this was annoying, but, I was just happy to finally get someone to clear my roof since I had water coming into the house in two areas. I knew that I was not the only person with this problem, that the demand was high for this service.
At noon, a crew arrived and was ready to start working. I asked for some kind of cost estimate. They called Bob (business owner) and had him call me. The price would be $795 for the whole roof. I asked if I could just get problem areas done and he told me they were charging $395 per hour. After giving it some thought (10 minutes), I called him back to ask that they do the whole roof.
One and a half hours later, they were gone. The roof was not completely cleared. Ice dams remained and some parts were not even touched. I called Bob to ask if they had left for lunch! He thought they might, so he said he would check with them and get back to me. He sent me an email saying they were finished, they had worked 1.5 hours and the bill would be $600.
Also, I found pieces of my shingled roof in the snow below. I replied that I was disappointed in the way this whole process had played out and I sent him photos of the state of my roof. He replied that it was fine, that it would melt, and if they cleared more ice, I would have MORE roof damage. What else could I say? I certainly don't want more roof damage and I know that the ice dams won't just "melt"...if they did, I wouldn't have needed them to be cleared.
Poor scheduling, poor communication and poor quality of work.
He has come twice and been very responsive. There have been 5 guys up on my roof getting all the snow off.
got backed up. Still, I'd give them a solid A for 2013. We had one issue after the 2013 job with woodstove flue collars that weren't resealed after being removed and reinstalled. I mentioned it to Rick and he had someone out the next day to correct. Both Rick and the crew member apologized for the oversight.
Weather does play a significant role in when roofers can work, and sometimes jobs get backed up. Be clear in what you want and when you want it, and these guys will do their best to accommodate you. Overall, Talbot's did a good job at a good price. I would use them again. They stood behind their work and were right there when something had to be fixed.
days of my calling him. Got me an estimate quickly. He was also very
flexible when I had to change dates a couple of times and change the
scope of work. He is willing to negotiate as well.
When The crew discovered a lot of rotted wood under 3
layers of shingles he was able to get the necessaty plywood there
ASAP to keep the job going.
The only issue I had was that they left a bit of a mess with the fallen shingles. I would recommend them based on the quality of the work and the responsiveness--the key things! But make sure they cover ALL the areas with a drop cloth and clean up totally so you are not left with debris, and make sure they use their own equipment, like rakes and brooms, not yours, as they are likely to break.
Very professional. All scheduled appointments were kept, on time.
The crew that did the work was very professional and explained in detail the work.
There was a good respect for the property/landscaping.
Along with the good workmanship, the good communication with owner and crew was very important to me.
Rick was really great to work with. He was willing to drive out to meet with us very quickly despite his busy schedule. He explained things very clearly, which was helpful as this was our first time replacing a roof. He was very up front from the beginning about what additional costs might be (for replacing decking, for example) so we weren't surprised with the price tag when some issues came up.
Talbot Roofing gets the job done QUICKLY. We paid the deposit just before a long holiday weekend, and on the Wednesday after that, we had the roofing shingles waiting on our driveway. The dumpster they hired arrived Thursday morning at around 7:00 AM and that went very smoothly. By 7:30 Thursday the crew had arrived and the old roof was down by 10:30. At about 9:00 I got a call from Rick about some problems with the roof over the garage... there was some water damage and rot and some carpentry had to be replaced. He got me a quote for it quickly and it was under $500. By about 4:30 the roof was finished, and the crew finished cleaning up by about 6:30. My husband found I think one nail, a cigarette butt, and a coffee cup, but considering they cleaned up a small mess of dead leaves that we had left on the driveway, I'll call it even.
The new roof is gorgeous. The shingles they used were very well reviewed and there was a great choice of colors. I'm confident this roof will last us a long time.
