Homestead Roofing Company

Flashing around chimney and vent stacks.

ask for a chimney cap quote, replied that "Sorry we only service homes with a slate or clay tile roof" - is that relevant ?

It went OK. Good work. Highly recommend. They are very busy though.

Poor customer service. Very rude.

Homestead was on time and professional. I will use them again for gutter and chimney repair.

It went very well. We called them in late fall (late October). They were accommodating, because in spite of being very busy, they were able to complete all the work before the onset of winter. The slate and roof work was done in November, and the rear porch/roof carpentry repair was completed by December 1st.

They did a fine job. The price was comparable to two other places that I received quotes from. It was difficult to communicate with them because they only communicate via email. I don?t have a smartphone and my job does not allow me to be in a state of constant availability with the internet. I would use them again, though, because they did the what they said they were going to do at the price quoted. 

We've used them for years. It's a 100-year old slate roof. They inspect it and replace the parts that needed replacing. The quality and the service stood out. Our roof just hangs on there. They're prompt and they're business-like. They cleaned up after themselves.

They are very open and truthful. They are quite busy so sometimes, we do have to wait but we do like them. So, we do call them and they come as soon as they can. Everything is outside so we have no issues with the clean up.

Gave the best assessment of what needed to be done, sent good workmen, corrected the leaks.

Homestead Roofing had taken care of our tile roof for over 30 years.  This year I tried at least 3 times to schedule a maintaince appointment as the gutter cleaner had noticed a few cracked tiles.  I did have one call returned with a promise that someone would come to my home - this never happened.  On at least two other occasions I left messages and was never called back.  In fact I thought that Homestead Roofing had gone out of business:  I only realized today when looking on Angie's List that they are still in business.  I was sorry that a roofing contractor that I had relied on in the past and considered reliable had changed their business practices.

Adam came out and quoted the work. He walked the roof and provided photos of the areas he proposed to repair as well as a drawing showing the roof layout and how he intended to tackle the problem areas. I appreciated that he was straightforward and told me he would prefer not to repair the membrane flat roof on the addition since slate was his specialty. The only disappointment was that he said he hoped to start in about two weeks and it actually took more than three weeks before his crew was able to start.

Once they started they did work straight through until all the issues had been addressed. I was very pleased with the quality of his work and his ability to re-use tiles to avoid color matching issues. He also does not use retention hooks so you don't see them sticking up all over the roof.

There is still some more work to be done and I am sure there will be some damage over the winter. The best recommendation that I can give is that I intend to use Homestead for the ongoing maintenance of the slate roof.

They installed a roof cable on the front of our house which required a plug to be put on and they didn't tell us for a whole winter and I just thought it wasn't working. It was difficult to get someone to do it.

Every year  Homestead Roofing comes out to check the roof .  Every  few years, they find a few broken slates that need to be replaced as no slate roof can last for as many years as slate roofs absolutely will if properly maintained .  I have not had a roof leak in my home in 14 years under their care.

Went better than planned. Started on time and finished on time despite the challenging weather this spring and a significant backlog of jobs. Sought approval on any additional items that were not intially quoted. They were not the and quot;low bidand quot; but they were the most qualified and I will insist on using them in the future. This company only works with the best people, supplies, and materials. I wouldn't be surprised if they only worked ont he best roofs. When you have slate and cooper roof work that you need done correctly, this is the company that you want to hire.

The repair was extensive as water had been entering home for some time due to water backing up under slates in the dormer area of home. Also flashing was needed as both chimneys leaked at connection with roof. Since the home is 80 years old the repair was way overdue and had never been done prior.I had several estimates but was shocked at most of the estimates as they were not as complete or inclusive as Homestead and were almost 3x the cost.
Homestead explained that some slate will last over 150 years[ like ours] in fact since Homestead has been around 2 generations with a large inventory of material they can match quality of material/slate if needed, so the work made it practical and asthetic
The crew was on time and went to worked for 2 plus days finishing on time and cleaning up daily.
Since this is the second NE Ohio ruff season with the ice being very bad this year I am glad I had a quality team do the JOB
If you have a slate roof repair I would recommend talking to Homestead

Great! On time, responsive, fast, careful, dealt with all our questions, clear process, good cleanup.

It went very well. He could have done more for more money, but his advice was, let's see how this works. It worked very well.

Done in 2-3 hours without problems.
