Roof Menders Inc

unknown

They are a small, specialty roof company. We had a very good experience with them. Our roof has been fine and they fixed a problem that had been difficult to fix. We weren't shocked by the price or anything. We haven't had anymore leaks. I think we waited a little longer than we would have liked.

We were happy with them. We are yet to see if our roof is going to leak and we are hoping that it wouldn?t leak. We would know when it rains a lot. Otherwise, our interactions with them were excellent. We chose them because they specialize in metal roof. There was a little section of our roof around the parameter between the first and second floors that had to be fixed. It was that portion which was made of metal. They were clean and pleasant. They did what they said they were going to do. Our interactions with them were very good. They showed up when we wanted. We did get another quote and they were similar. Their work seems to be neat and they seemed to know what they were talking about. It took them a little while to get it scheduled but I don?t think that was a problem. However, they were pretty good in terms of communicating with us. We would use their services in the future too.

If you have tin or metal roofs, this is the company to go with. I had a hard time with my leaky tin roof. It was just a small part of my roof. Roofers did not want to fix it bc it was metal and that is not part of their expertise. Painters did not want to paint the roof as it was a roof. As it turns out, you need a special coating for metal roofs -- paint will peel in no time. Other painting companies do have this special coating but you have to ask for it specifically as this is not a big part of their business. Also, it takes some expertise to lay down the mesh and also separately to use this coating. The leak is gone and they warrant that the roof will be leak free for 10 years if you get the fully reinforced system. While they were fixing that roof, they noticed another metal roof that needed painting, but not the mesh. I had them take care of it for an additional cost. The owner is great. The reason I do not give an A rating is that her workers are less than careful. They scraped the old paint off and the scrapings were all over my lawn. In addition, I'm still finding scrapings coming out of my gutters. Most of my gutters have underground drains so clogging up my drains was a big concern -- luckily, they seem to be mostly washing out the other end of the drains. My very young daughters wanted to know why the workers did not have their shirts on (they've only seen this at the pool or beach).

I first called Roofmenders before we had even settled on the house. The roof had leaked in several places, and the home inspector suggested we talk to a roofer. Even in this situation, Miriam agreed to go out and look at the house. When she called me back, she taught me a great deal about the kind of roof we had, and assured us that it actually was in pretty good shape for a 100-year-old roof. She gave us a verbal estimate for restoration, an estimate she honored 7 months later when we called her to actually do the work. The aspect I appreciated most about Miriam was her willingness to teach us about the roof and about the roofing repair materials. Her website has lots of information on it as well. Lester and his son finished the whole job in about 2 days. Painting a roof is pretty messy work, but they only left paint on a few places in the yard. Months after the job was finished, I contacted Miriam with a few questions about the roof in connection with an entirely different home improvement project. Miriam responded to my questions and even dropped off an extra bucket of the Preservation Products stuff they used to paint the roof in case we needed it after we did the extra work.
