The contractor did a very good job for a reasonably good price. He also passed by later to make sure things are OK.

  The workers did the job with precision.  I inspected the work and from what I could see it appears like a good job.  The workers 
  were efficient, respectful, helpful and they cleaned up afterward.

He wanted to get to work right away which was attractive, but also worried us because the roof was still inundated and we though the work would get done more effectively with a dry roof. So we waited for the snow to melt and the heat to dry everything.

"We do not service your area we understand your frustration. Could you please remove your grade because it does not reflect our service rather Angie's lists"

I bought?the special offer from Angie's list to inspect?the roof for $99 because I had a trace of leak into?bedroom wall adjacent to chimney. The McGavin Roofing came on time and inspected the roof and found that there was a leak: water was coming out from underneath of the shingle roof when they?stepped on?the area behind the chimney. I agreed to?pay $1100 for them to repair the leak. I fully trusted them because of their?promise for professional job?and their long experience in?business as per its?advertisement. They promised to provide me with the picture of their job, but never did. Few months later I again saw the wall?still gets damp. I?thought, it?should be coming from?other than the roof.?I called chimney guys and changed the linear for?$1500 in June 2015. In a few months I?again saw the water trace on the wall?and this time I changed the front face of the house and wood trims (english tudor house) and repaired walls of the chimney this November?(last week) for $6200; they also repaired the wall of the bedroom where water was leaking. This contractor discovered that?the leak was coming from the same area of the roof which McGavin roofing assured they fixed. When he pressed on the shingle roof the water was coming out; he provided me with video and picture as a proof.?I called?yesterday McGavin?Roofing to complain and requested them?to fix?it.?They sent?their workers?this morning. Unfortunately, the?workers came with the?instruction only to patch the same way they did last time; and they were not in position to discuss to consult. I showed them the picture and video taken by the contractor who repaired the chimney and front face of the house. They did not pay attention and insisted that they were requested to patch, nothing else. I did not accept this kind of easy and quick fix because such fix did not work in the first place. The owner called me to tell me?that ?that was the only way they will do?because they?were very busy with?many other ?important projects. Unfortunately, he showed no interest in listening my plea to repair the root cause. He left me in a very difficult situation. The workers he sent did not have any flexibility and interest to discuss how to better fix it and and in addition their English was very limited. They referred everything to the owner who did not see the roof and insisted they have to add additional patch which did not work.
Response from McGavin Roofing

"The gentleman called our company more than a year after the service telling me he had more work performed on and around his house and that it was our fault that he had paid for additional work from contractors we are not affiliated with. We promptly sent our crews back the next day the gentleman was very rude and wanted us to do extensive work or he would sue us, the original service we performed was a common roof repair and mantainence job. To me this man seemed to have buyers remorse for what ever other work he had done he had other workers walking and causing damage on his roof I would WARN! All other contractors to NEVER! Work for this man it is not worth it"

It took a number of calls to get him to come look at a leak in the chimney area. He looks and tells me I need a new roof. He casually mentions I could do a patch job but really focused on selling me a new roof. I got another opinion from a different roofer today who actually found the issue with the leak (the chimney itself was in bad shape) and he fixed that and patched up the roof and fixed the gutters to maintain me until we're ready for a new roof. He agreed with my initial inspector that we didn't need a roof right away. McGavin was only focused on selling me an expensive roof replacement he actually overlooked other issues like the chimney and gutters that were problematic .

I was very satisfied. Whatever they did, I was satisfied because I haven't been bothered by squirrels again. There were no additional charges beyond the big deal amount. They were working on a case and they came to me next. They were prompt and accurate. I don't know how they did it. I know they couldn't block the chimney but they did something to it. Whatever was done, it did the job.

Aside from there being nothing accomplished and no minor repairs done, the salesman was nice. But I don't think he knew the first thing about roof repair.
I eventually identified the source of our leak (a small hole in flashing around an exhaust pipe) and repaired it myself for under $10.
