L&N Roofing

We received Fantastic service and a job well done at a very reasonable price. The owner of the company was the "sales person" and was delightful to deal with. No high pressure and a detailed and honest presentation. The installation crew was always on time to the job. Always cleaned up before leaving each day. Were very careful of our plantings, etc. as well as respectful and friendly to us, the home owners. We highly recommend this company and would not hesitate to hire them again if we had the need.

Our experience overall was positive, in that we ended up with a quality roof. They also did the work in a fairly timely fashion, having to work around a very rainy period but yet stayed on schedule to the extent possible. So for those reasons, I give them an overall good (B) rating. The process of getting there, however, had some troubling and unnecessary snags. The owner started off very friendly, and that remained as long as we didn’t push back to make sure the work was done right. Unfortunately, however, they made two rather obvious mistakes in installing the roof (a barge board that was cut on the end at a very sloppy angle, way out of sync with the other eave endings on this bungalow house; and roof vents that were spaced very irregularly across the back of the roof) that we insisted they correct; the owner of the company was not happy about us pointing this out and it was a rather unpleasant discussion where he acted like we were being unreasonable, before he finally agreed to fix the mistakes (which turned out to be relatively easy to fix, so why all the fuss about us wanting to make sure the job was done well?) Another problem was that they badly damaged an outdoor teak wood table during roof tear off; the owner at first did not want to admit that this was their error, then belittled the quality of the table (yes it was weather worn but it was still very usable before they arrived on the scene), and then finally demanded that we provide three quotes from furniture repair shops to determine a compensation amount. Problem was we couldn't find furniture shops willing to do this work, and so we could not provide them with an estimate; we just ended up giving the damaged table away. Finally, for many months, even years, afterwards, I would find random roof nails and pieces of shingle(!) in the bushes and grass surrounding the house. Each time I found one of these pieces of debris, it was a reminder of the sloppiness of the work, of the frustration with having to haggle with the owner just to make sure the work was done right, and of losing our backyard table in the process of getting a new roof. Overall, then, while we ended up with a quality roof, it required a lot of hassle on our part. I wouldn't hire them again.

You'll have to wait to schedule service because this company is highly desired. I waited about 3 months and then had a few days due to rain but it was worth waiting for. The installation was professional and quick once it began. Loren provided a detailed contract along with what to expect if the plywood below was damaged.

Very well. The crew was there every day about 730am . Because of the change from shake to asphalt and the double roof removal it was lengthy. Crew cleaned up every day. Competent and professional. There were 5 members of the crew. Once the old roof was gone they got the plywood up and the actual roof install only took 2 days.

They did very good. Our roofline is steep and different levels.

They did some work for me, not the lowest bid. They said their time line was 6 to 8 week after giving me the bid and they actually showed up 4 months before they got on site. The roofing was fine but the trim work was shoddy and they did not replace the flashing as it was in the bid. They came back to do the flashing but they did not use the correct color flashing. I have sent them pictures of what needed to be corrected but they have never came back to correct what they did. They did not clean up the nails out of the yard and the trim was pieced together. There were gaps of up to 2 inches and it did not go all the way down to the gutter. The ordeal took almost a full year. they roof is ok and met standards but everything is not up to standards. Nothing about the work was honest or timely. There are 2 different flashing on my dormers which looks bad.

Excellent!!!!

He did a fine job and we were happy with the service. It was efficient. Loren was easy to talk to. He gave me a quote. I agreed with the quote. I had other quotes, but I liked Loren's quote. He had done previous work for me before so I was familiar with Loren. 

He is really busy and he doesn't always call back immediately.

Owner Loran gave me a special efforts to honor my wish, not to do the roof on the raining day! I really appreciated that he could do that for me! I always could reach him by phone! He finished job on time.

I had gotten a few estimates from other roofing companies and I found this process rather unpleasant - kind of like buying a car. Some of the companies I called never called me back or took several days to get an estimate.
I communicated with Loren through the whole process.
His communication skills were excellent: always got back to me - very transparent - and on the day they arrived he introduced me to his team. His crew was very professional and courteous.
My roof looks wonderful and the workmanship is amazing. Before they left, they made sure everything was cleaned up. I highly recommend L&N.

Pleasant experience overall. I like dealing with a smaller company and dealing with the President of the company. Loren was very good to work with

Loren is a great, honest, contractor! We have dealt with a lot of contractors over the years with our previous house being  a complete build. Loren is one of the good guys! He came out right away to give us a bid. After getting 6 bids it was between L & N and another company that I think would have done a good job too.  I'm glad we went with Loren though. His crew is a great group of guys and go above and beyond. I told them I was impressed with how good of a job they did with roof and clean up. They said that Loren takes good care of them and they want to do a good job for him. That is impressive! Loren came out a lot and chipped right in and you could tell he had a very good rapport with his employees. The couple things we wanted were done to our satisfaction with no problem at the end.   If you want a roof installed without a headache then get all your bids but make sure you include one from L & N roofing.

I called 4 contractors, 3 from Angie's List late on a Friday afternoon prior to Memorial Day.  First guy said he was on his way out of town, call back mid-week (I did not).  Loren came out next day. was very helpful, spent a lot of time with me & gave lots of info & advice I should check, no matter who I chose, etc.  His bid was not the lowest but the one I had the most confidence in accepting.  His crew was able to start & complete the job earlier than anticipated.  They were respectful, very cheerful, worked quickly & did a good job on cleanup.  I would definitely recommend L & N Roofing to anyone.

Loren was knowledgeable and fair. He uses quality material and his crew
is professional and fast. Great communicator, reliable, and his price
was competitive.He communicated schedule changes due to weather, and finished when expected.  I would recommend him with confidence.

Owner Loren Girsberger and his crew worked fast; protected plants close to the buildings;and were responsive to questions from condo owners during the reroofing work. Mr. Girsberger also participated in a special HOA owners meeting where he described the work he and his crew were going to do, offered samples of the materials, and answered all questions. Mr. Girsberger also made the work schedule flexible, including working Saturdays and Sundays to accommodate owners' schedules and Portland's variable weather from February through December 2013. Mr. Girsberger also went above and beyond the initial agreement by absorbing 2 price increases from material suppliers over the duration of the work agreement and, at no cost to the client, repaired a 4 inch hole through a newly installed roof caused by a falling tree limb as a result of an unseasonale wind storm in early July.  Mr. Girsberger and his crew were professional and helpful from beginning to the end of the reroofing project.

Exceptional Job all around - I did my research and homework along with gathering 6 estimates. Loren came in mid pack with pricing and combined with referrals and references I decided to go with them. Not one bit disappointed, the crew was polite and punctual, there was not one scrap left behind or any damage to gutters or landscaping. They finished ahead of schedule and the roof could not look better. Thank you

Went very well.  Mix up on trim color, but was corrected immediately. Beautiful job done!
