Barbera Home Improvement

We placed an after-hours call to Barbera Home Improvement last night and asked them to check the roof at their convenience when they were in the area, since the job would likely be small -- probably sealing around a vent. We chose them based on Angie's List reviews, plus the fact that we've seen their work in our neighborhood. John Barbera came by at 1:30 PM today, checked the ceiling inside the garage, and told us that what we had was not a leak. He pointed out that the area where chips of paint had come off one spot on the ceiling didn't show any signs of water damage and likely were part of the natural settling of our home. He showed us the seam line in another area of the ceiling that indicated settling as well. WOW! What wonderful news that was -- and it got even better when John said he wouldn't charge us for the service call!! We've seen in our own neighborhood that he is a fine craftsman, but John went beyond that and proved he is a man of integrity who wants to help people, not take advantage of them. There's no doubt that Barbera will be the co. to replace our 14-yr.-old roof when the time comes! John is an especially fine businessman, and we thank Angie's List once again for guiding us to such an honorable provider.

Tore off old roof and installed new one. Did a excellent job inspite of the cold weather conditions.

I had siding damage and contacted my insurance company. They worked up a report and advised me to get estimates from contractors. I contacted Barbera Home Improvement. I received a call back the same day from John Barbera to set up a free estimate. John was very professional. He sat down and reviewed my insurance report. He even took the time to contact the insurance adjuster as my siding type and color were no longer available and he wanted to make sure that I got the best looking job possible for my home. Barbera Home Improvement worked on my behalf with my insurance company so that I was happy with the restoration to my home. They are punctual, professional and very helpful. I will be needing some windows soon and I will not be calling any other contractors. Barbera Home Improvement will get my work.

I contacted Barbera Home Improvement. I received a call back the same day from John Barbera to set up a free estimate. John was very professional. He sat down and reviewed my insurance report. He set up a time to meet at my home with the insurance adjuster. He was able to get insurance funds so that I could fix interior damage that had occurred because of the roof damage. He worked very hard my behalf and was available to explain the whole insurance process to me. I was told by my insurance company to get a couple estimates so I did call another contractor. It took them several days for them to get back to me. When the representative finally did come out, I asked him to also look at my damaged siding. He told me that he could not quote that. He would have another rep come out. That was the last I heard from them about the siding. He left me a quote on my roof that was $1500 higher than Barbera. The Barbera crew arrived on the promised day on time. They were very hard working and did a clean up inspection after the job. I never found any nails left behind and they left the yard cleaner than when they came. I was very impressed with their clean up. John Barbera is running a top-notch, very professional business yet he was also very approachable and patient in working with my insurance company. I will be needing windows in the future and they will have the job without question.

Their estimate was higher then the others that I got.

Barbera Home Improvements responded to promptly. Unfortunately they were too busy with an aftermath of Hurricane Sandy repairs to address our problem in a timely manner. Will contact Barbera for future needs.

Mr. Barbara is very friendly and after I accepted his extimate sent his crew within several days. They came and completed the job in one day. They were all very friendly and did a great job. One of the crew actually fixed a couple of shingles on my garage that were beginning to curl just because he saw they needed to be fixed. This was at no additional charge. They left my yard clean.

got quote. Then came and did a great job. was very happy with employees and thier work

I can't say enought good things about this company!!! From the first call to the follow up after the work was complete they did what they said, within budget, and made sure I was compeltely satisfied. I was completely satisfied.

From start (estimating) to finish the process could not have gone smoother. The work crew did a tremendous job and their attention to detail was excellent. We have extensive planting all around the house and they were very careful and considerate. After the job was finished they used magnets to pick up any stray metal and debris. I would not hesitate to use them again and will be doing so in our new house.

I first contacted provider due to a roof leak. John Barbera came out that evening after I got home from work and made temporary repair. He came back the next day to evaluate and give me a quote on repairs. I liked the fact that he gave me several options. I opted to have the flat roof portion replaced, along with new gutters. I also requested the patio awning be removed and some trim work repaired on the front of the house. All of this work was done quickly and professionally. Once the awning was removed, we could see that there was damage to the siding underneath. Again, John gave me some options, and I chose to have the entire house sided. Being that it was winter, I was able to get a very good price. Once I approved the quote, John's crew started work within a few days and finished in 5 days. I was very pleased with the job, the clean-up and the professionalism. I would definitely use them again.

A huge branch broke off of the tree the hovers our house and went straight through our garage roof. It also tore the gutters off of that side of the house. Barbera was the first company we called for an estimate, based on their great reviews. Trae came out and immediately jumped on the roof to cover the hole with a tarp because a big storm was approaching. That was very kind of him because we had not talked prices or anything. But because his estimate was right in line with what we wanted to spend, and the professionalism that Trae had shown us, we decided to give them the job without talking to other companies. It turned out to be a great decision as Trae and Barbera did an awesome job on the roof, the beams inside our garage and our gutters. They even suggested a company that did garage door openers and garage doors that we used and did a great job also. We need some new windows soon and we would like to put new siding on our house also. we will call Trae and Barbera for both of those things and most likely will have them do the jobs because they are a first class company that does things right.

Dan came out and gave us an estimate. He was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all of my questions. I had already interviewed two other contractors. His estimate was lower than the other two and the work could be completed sooner so we decided to go with Barbera. The workers arrived at 7:00 AM on the agreed upon date. They worked very hard and it seemed that they never even took a break (I'm sure they did, but someone was always working.) They completed the work on the roof before 4:00 and cleaned up well. I would have given them an A on professionalism except that while I was out, they needed electricity and we have no outdoor outlets, so they used our next door neighbors' (without getting permission first). Needless to say, my neighbors were not pleased. I did discuss this with the office at the end of the day and was promised that this would be addressed. The next day, the gutter crew came. Again, the work was performed well and clean-up was also done well. We are very happy with the results.

We were very pleased with the roof work performed by Barbera Home Improvement. John, the owner, came out to inspect the roof?he was the only roofer we contacted who took the time to ?problem-solve? our unusual living room ceiling/roof situation?he also was honest about what actually needed to be done to correct the leaking roof and did not attempt to ?sell? us additional services (e.g., gutters, chimney work). John and his crew arrived on the day and at the time we had agreed on and he stayed and worked with his crew throughout the day to ensure the work was performed correctly. We knew up front that additional charges may be involved depending on what he found once the shingles were removed. The work and cleanup were completed in one day. We have no hesitation in recommending Barbera Home Improvement.

I contacted Barbera after checking them out on Angie's List and referred also by a co-worker. We needed to get our 3 skylights replaced do to leakage. John, the owner, came out and checked out the skylights and roof. He found that the seals were in very poor condition and that there were a couple issues with the roof that could easily be fixed. The roof is only about 5 yrs old. He then talked to me about the company and how quality and customer satisfaction is important to him and his workers. He went over what the job would consist of, information on the product, warranties, clean-up and anything else he thought we should know. After talking to a few different companies and getting estimates, we knew Barbara was the company for us. John and Trae came out when they were suppose and did a fantastic job. They fixed the little issues from the previous roofing job. It had started to rain before the job was complete. The guys put up tarps over the skylight areas and continued working until complete. We have had no problems with our skylights and are very satisfied. We did have a leak that showed up after the completion on another part of the roof and were kind enough to come out and take care of that immediately. No more leak. Should we have anymore roof issues, I would not hesitate to call Barbera again to do the work, I highly recommend this company.

small sample. He also installed a leaf guard which I believe to be the best of it's kind in the business. It has a very fine stainless mesh that would be impervious to any particle. His price was about $1,100 - I attended the Great Home and Garden Show at the IX Center today and saw several other systems that were very similar - the best "ballpark" estimate was that I could get was $3,400.

They did a good and quick job replaced rotted wood BUT they left a big mess of all the rotten wood in the attic

Very smooth. They left the premises cleaner than when they arrived

After the storm 'Sandy' came through, we noticed that we had a leak in the roof. I called Barbera to see if they could come out right away and fix it, hopefully before the next rain. Although the person that took my called seemed very blase about it, she did forward my request to someone who called back quickly and responded in a much better manner. It was a flat rate to come out and fix and someone came out right away, same day I believe. No more leaks,so seems to have been done well. A couple of dings in the ratings I gave reflect the attitude of the person answering the phone. Everyone has a bad day, I guess, but they really should consider getting more of a people person to take calls from potential customers. I almost called another company because she didn't have me convinced that my call was important and that it'd get passed on right away and I really wanted the leak fixed right away.

We were very pleased with Barbera .. they were on time, very neat and did a professional job.

He did a great job. He was here the very next day. The price is very reasonable and he did a great job.

Barbera Home Improvement were very prompt and professional. I called 3 roofing companies for an estimate, and Barbera arrived when they said they would be there (the other 2 companies were a no show). I will definitely recommend Barbera Home Improvement to anyone, and I plan on using them again.

What I was most impressed by was their professionalism. They walked us through the steps of the process and welcomed our questions. This was reassuring for us both since this was our first house and our first roof replacement. Barbera was not the lowest price contractor we quoted. We showed them a few of the other quotes, but said we preferred to use them if we could. They agreed to lower their price slightly. Overall, however, they were worth the extra money. I wanted to wait a few months to write a review and make sure there were not issues. We have been pleased with the service they provided.

Arrived on scheduled date.Removed old roofing, started new roofing. Due to limited daylight hours had to complete job following day, no problem. Preparation of roof prior to installing new material seemed to be carefully done. Cleanup was performed and when they left you would not know anyone worked on the house as yard was clean.

This was a wonderful experience. The gutter looks wonderful. The men were very comfortable to be with, and worked extremely quickly.
