The experience was not a good one. They said they were going to do it in December (and) it would be done before the end of the month before it snowed and everything. They never came until way, way, way to almost the end of January. They said the snow guards they brought were not long enough and they would have to get longer ones. Then they had gone on the roof (and) cracked the tile. They said they were going to fix it (and) they had to get another tile. Then they said they got to order the things and then they called me up a couple of days later and they said he could not get those things. I said everybody has the same kind of roof. He told me he could not get the long ones so he would have to refund me the money. I said well then they would have to come back and fix the roof. He said the guy said they did it. I said it looked like there was still a crack and I wanted them to come and check it. All of a sudden and I am waiting weeks and I don't get any check. So I called and they said they mailed it and I should have gotten it a long time ago. Then I said they ought to cancel the check and send me another one. Then the guy said he still was going to come and look at the roof. He still hasn't come, but I did get the check from my deposit back. So this is a three month thing and I am not happy. The price would have been $850 and I gave them half, $425. I would never recommend them. I mean, he is a nice guy and if they would have had the things, but he told me don't worry about it and he could do this. Every time he tells me he is coming he doesn't come. I don't know when they are coming. (They are) not reliable. I would never use them again. The price seemed fair. They sounded good, but they never did what they said.
We had the builder of this 7 year old house come and "repair" the leaks 2 times during our first year. Still we occassionaly had leaks. The contractor would kept promising to come and fix the problem, and he just never showed up.
Then we were hit by Hurricane Sandy and lost our entire first level, which is not below grade, and actually 10" above grade, but we had 4 feet of Ocean come through. For the next 15 months we were involved with that entire mess. Insurance, FEMA, Gutting that entire level, repairs, restructure, etc etc etc...(believe me, you DON'T want to hear the details). And so, with that said......who noticed a leak in all that nightmare?
After all the repairs, and we finally had no more contractors in our home.....you got it....during a hard windy rain the leaks were still there. Short story...The contractor we used for all the Sandy construction said we had to just rip off the decks and start anew to fix the problem once and for all. This huge dirty expensive job took another month, and I just cannot bear to go into the details. And again once the next big windy rain storm came we had the leaks again.
This is where I finally joined Angies list. I did TONS of research online about these recurring type leaks under decks. ( Foolish me, I thought contractors KNEW what they were doing). I saw that MASPETH Roofing and Siding were highly rated and read reviews from people like me who were dealing with leaks and the reviews were very poitive.
Dan from Maspeth came to give us an estimate. He is very professional and did not promise us the moon and the stars, but told us of how many times they have encounted these problems, and what they would do to fix the problem. They worked on our one side deck (over a guest bedroom) first in Sept 2013. And I am here to tell you, that we still had leaks after they finished. BUT they came back 4 TIMES over a 6 month period (have to wait for it to rain hard) to get the job done correctly. 4 full extra days of work and no extra charge. They stand by their guarantee.
That is why we used them again for the repairs on the smaller less frequent leaks on the front decks this year. Luis, the crew foreman on the job, and all the workers are great. Our house is 3 stories and they never came through the house, only using ladders from the outside. Every day they worked hard all day with only a 40 minute lunch break, and every evening they cleaned up, even though they would be coming back the next morning. The workers are the same men from last year, which means they are not picking up day laborers, these men are professional.
Even though I liked this company and its employees, I hope I never have to see them again. But if I do, I know they will honor their guarantee.
I know this is a long review, but when I really needed to find a good company to hire, it was reviews like this that made me feel confident to use Maspeth Roofing and Siding.
This time it was after Super storm Sandy destroyed my roof.
they installed a whole new roof down the timbers that looks great
I also got a 5% Angie's List discount.
I have a flat top roof on my detached garage which started leaking. I had it repaired a few years prior with another company, "Old HP" at about $400, which lasted for about two years, and after several attempts they couldn't seem to fix it , so I eventually got estimates from other roofers, and found Maspeth Roofing to have the most reasonable and cost-effective solution with a 5 year guarantee against leaks, whom I hired in June 2010.
Everything was dry for about 11 months, but then the leaks started again. I would have given them a bad rating but Maspeth proved to be reliable and honest, they came back to do some patching, but that didn't work, so they came back again. It turned out to be that I needed a gravel stop, or aluminum flashing around the perimeter of the roof, which they fixed in late December 2011 at no additional cost, and so far everything is bone dry! It's only two months, but if I have a problem again, I know that Maspeth will come and check it out.
Apparently leaks are sometimes very hard to find, and that's why most roofers recommended that I put on a whole new roof, with estimates ranging from $1,200 to $3,000! So even though I had some problems, Maspeth, who charge me $850, eventually figured it out, and honored their 5 year guarantee. I hope I'll never have to call them again for this roof (for at least another 5 years anyway).
I am giving them an A rating because I believe they finally got to the root of the problem and they are honest, professional and reliable. They were also very reasonable in cost.
