Popil Roofing Company (PRC)

Ed and his team did a great job.

I just want to offer an update to my initial review.  It's been a little over a year since my roof has been replaced.  We've had at least six major thunder storms come through the area (two of which resulted in tornadoes within 3 miles of our home) and been through a brutal winter with sub zero temps and major snow fall.  The roof is still intact, all shingles in place and no leaks!  Leaking had been a huge problem in the past in the garage when we had driving rain with the old roof & ridge vent installed by the builder .  The architectural shingles Ed installed still look great and their heavier weight and design have kept them from flipping during heavy winds and storms.  Overall, I just want to say again what a professional job Ed Popil and his crew did on this job.  I would gladly use them again and refer them to anyone considering a roof replacement or repair.

The gutters and a flat roof on our historic century home were in sad need of repair, so after some Googling,



we called Popil Roofing Company (PRC) of Brunswick OH for a consultation. The owner, Ed Popil, came out the next day, a Wednesday, and gave us a reasonable price quote. Ed and his crew returned that Saturday morning and had the new roof on by early afternoon. The gutter replacement was scheduled for the following Saturday. Ed's team did a great job installing, removing the debris and cleaning up the work site. Their friendly and professional manner was matched by the excellence of their workmanship. The new roof and gutters look great and are ready for the first of many brutal Ohio winters. We highly recommend Ed Popil and his Popil Roofing Company (RPC).

Called Popil Roofing regarding a leak I discovered and requested a quote for a repair.  He returned my call the same day and came by that afternoon.  Upon inspection of my roof, he told me I had hail damage and should contact my insurance company.  Thanks to him, I had the roof replaced at a great discount since the skylights, warped wood and shed were not covered by the claim.  He was very busy and was not able to start the job until 6 weeks later.  Ed explained the entire roofing system and showed me samples of the materials he would be using.  Since I was home I was able to observe the entire process and found Ed and his crew to be very professional.  They cleaned up as they worked and you would never know anyone was here.  They did a fantastic job and my roof looks great.  Highly recommend Popil Roofing.  He is an honest, sincere person who really stands behind his product.  I am very pleased with the ridge vent installed.  It is so much better than the one I had before.  I am confident that my roof will stand up to many years of Northeast Ohio weather.

They were excellent.  They did an excellent job.  It was a four-day project.  The weather played a part during that time.  I ran into the owner the other day at the gas station and he told me he was on Angie's List, so I am surprised about it.  I got several quotes and the price was fair.  I would recommend them.

I had contacted three roofing companies based on locality and Angie's list recommendations.  One of the companies (I had used them previously at my old house in Cleveland) did not work in the Brunswick area, but referred me to a local company, Popil roofing.  Popil was the first appointment scheduled.
Ed Popil came out to the house at the time and date we had set.  Once he arrived, he introduced himself and asked me for an explanation of the work I wanted done (severe storm damage on the back side of the roof and leaks).  We took a walk around the house as I showed him the primary areas of damage and also some fascia that had been blown off.  Ed then grabbed his ladder and climbed up on the roof to perform a thorough inspection.  Once he came back down, he pointed out some visible damage that I wasn't even aware of (dented gutter and soil stack cap) as well as an area that hadn't been properly installed by the original builder (no felt underlay leaving exposed wood once the shingles were torn away.).
At that point I began explaining in detail what I wanted done and what my expectations were.  Ed was very forthcoming with information, almost answering many of my questions before I asked them.  Some of the questions that I had, due to a lack of roofing knowledge on my part, Ed answered thoroughly and patiently. He also explained the brands of shingles that he offered and the methods and materials he would be using.  None of the process was rushed or pressured.  I told Ed that even though I would probably be going with his offer I still wanted to get the other two quotes.  He told me that wasn't a problem, but that he would be back the next day to cover the exposed wood area of the roof anyway. And he did, even though I hadn't committed to the job yet.
The other roofer showed up and made a quote without even climbing up on the roof.  He explained the brand of shingles he offered and why.  Interestingly enough, one of the brands he offered Ed considered junk, and one of the brands Ed offered the second roofer considered junk.  Ed hand nailed, the other guy used a nail gun.  Both said their method was better.  Kind of the same argument you would get from a GM & Ford guy.  The second roofer's quote was about $500 higher.  The third roofer never called me back.
At that point I began doing my research.  I took the information I was given by both roofers and began to look at reviews of all of the brands of shingles offered by them, as well as materials and methods.  I also began digging a little deeper into Popil roofing.  The internet is a wonderful thing!  I came away, not with an experts knowledge of roofing, but enough confidence in the choices I was making about the type, materials and methods of roofing I was about to pay hard earned money for.  I also felt confident that Popil roofing was a reputable company that would do a quality job and be around to honor any warranty issues if they should arise.
We signed the contract and I had Ed make specific entries for the materials and methods I wanted used.  Then it rained...and rained...and rained.  Ed already knew this beforehand and told me he'd start the following week after the weather cleared out.  He said the job would take three days.  He called me Tuesday of the following week while it was still raining and said they'd be out about 11:00.  He'd already looked at the radar.  They showed up when they said they would and began the job.  Three days later they were finished as promised and I had a beautiful new roof.  Ed and I did a walk around as he did a final sweep with the magnet to look for any left over debris.
All in all Ed Popil was a professional throughout the entire job.  After the roof was installed the Great Storm hit the following week.  We even had a tornado warning in Brunswick.  The roof was still intact and no leaks.  The one area I was concerned about was the ridge vent over the garage.  The builder installed an inferior undersized vent and whenever we had a driving rain water would get in through the vent a drip though the fluorescent fixture in the garage.  So far, so good!
Would I use or recommend Popil Roofing in the future?  Absolutely.

Due to storm damage in the past year , I had to have my roof replaced.After a few estimates I chose to use the services of Popil roofing and couldn't be more happy with my decision to do so. -Thoroughly detailed estimate provided promptly and easily -Quality work, performed quickly at a great price! -Courteous and polite staff. Thank you for a job well done !

We had a hail storm which damaged our roof. Called Popil Roofing, they responded immediately and was at the house within 24 hours. Inspected the damage, gave us a quote and within 72 hours our new roof was installed. Installed ice and water shield to help prevent ice build up. Was very proffesional and explained every step. Also noticed that the sky lights were wrong and replaced them.

Great.  I am super particular and I wanted a spectacular, unusual roof.  He helped me choose a very decorative, 50 year roof.  He was terrific and the work was excellent!

The owner was present throughout the entire tear off and replacement. Very courteous, answered all of my questions and cleaned up after themselves each day.
