Philadelphia, PA 93 friends 11 reviews Share review Embed review Write an update Edit review 3/15/2019 Praise and Honor to Jehovah. I have been praying and watching this company and it's reviews ( the low star reviews are complaints about scheduling and price) for a long while. I did my homework and checked all their credentials, better business, doing business in Phila, Licenses and Inspection, insurances, this company has an A+ rating and ALL credentials checked out. I had NEVER done my homework before, GLAD I took 10 minutes to do it The reason is I have a three story home (4) roofs including the porch, in the Germantown area and it needed special attention immediately! Also all the other companies considered my job to be VERY dangerous. I have had the exact same roofing problem for(29) years and spent money with the wrong people. So this is a big deal for me!! Squirrels had finally dug a hole and were living rent free, noisy, and vandalizing places that I couldn't see. I could hear them scratching the 3rd floor ceiling in the front of the house where there was already a leak and finally I saw his face peeking through, the ceiling in the back room started leaking (5) small buckets, also all my rotten wood and old shingles needed attention yes I had reached that point, I needed Reiter Roofing. (1) Evan came out to speak with me, great guy, reassured me I was with the best company. Emailed me the estimate.(It was far more than I had been estimated with other companies) He said they couldn't get to me until spring,(2) I wanted to speak with Barry Reiter personally and he made time to talk with me. I told him I didn't want a bandage on anything I wanted everything done, he was looking at me like lady you can't afford this job, however, he remained professional and I remained calm, the price was steep (3) remember I said I had been praying and watching this company for a long time, this owner is old school and confident in his TEAM(S) yes TEAM(s). He matches the roofing TEAM for each job, that really impressed me. He really cares for his company and his customers. He talked about safety and professionalism and his insurances, and his credentials, the company is top of the list with A+ ratings( check for your self) Barry revised my contract at my request a couple of times without any problems. He gave me a copy of the permit until the original one arrived and it did. All these details made me feel comfortable with Reiter Roofing (4) I got cold feet because of my $$$. But let me say, I did my homework and it was priced correctly. You get what you pay for. (5) I was on the fence! Barry scheduled his 3 stories or more, safety first TEAM to come out, 6 trucks arrived started the work they replaced the entire porch roof porch first and made sure it was safe for their ladders ....... Bob (the supervisor/owner of his TEAM was on point). They work on sections and are very detailed, my new wide beautiful gutters and new drains were re-positioned and work so much better. Both Barry and Bob expressed to me that it takes harnesses, scaffolds and men who love what they do to go up on angles, heights, lift heavy equipment (3ft propane tanks, rolls and rolls of rubber roofing materials and much more. The initial 29 year old leak was in the very front 3rd floor above the power lines next to the the A-Frame and VERY DANGEROUS. They took every safety precaution and completed the job. Bob assured me I won't ever have to worry about these roofs. I believe him. This TEAM had commercial equipment and came to work not play. (6) Bob's TEAM have carpentry skills, painting, skills, plumbing skills and MORE!!! They included metal drip edge capping to protect the wood from rot. They torched the rubber roof down. He was very patient with me when I asked for additional work not yet listed in the contract, (of course at additional charge) they gave me complimentary extra paint touches that made my whole job look great and complete. Their work is neat, clean, detailed, swift and efficient I didn't want a different company to do the added work. This team was professional, polite and hard workers ,(THANK YOU AGAIN BOB AND TEAM) THEY do EXCELLENT work and BOB has a great eye for design, I would highly recommend this TEAM. (7) MY ENTIRE job was done in 29 days and that's because it snowed and no work on weekends, plus additional work added, remember I mentioned they couldn't get to my job until spring, they started and finished before spring...02/13/19 - 03/12/19 (8) Barry Reiter owner of Reiter Roofing also Evan and Bob and Team are highly recommended. I am more than satisfied with Reiter Roofing. THANKS REITER ROOFING pictures arriving soon. Wim M. voted for this review Useful 1 Remove review N K.

Philadelphia, PA 0 friends 4 reviews Share review Embed review Compliment Send message Follow Jane P. 3/4/2019 We had a mystery leak that was coming from our roof through our light fixture every time it rained. I was at my wits end. Barry and his team came back over and over again until they solved it. Barry was quick to return my calls, they were on time, came during a snowstorm, and offered impeccable service at a reasonable rate. They even took their shoes off while in the house and put them back on when they got to the roof. After the job was completed they even gave me recommendations for maintenance to keep my roof in the best shape possible. I would call them again in a heartbeat.

Philadelphia, PA 23 friends 3 reviews Share review Embed review Compliment Send message Follow Jason M. 3/13/2018 Do not hire Reiter Roofing. The owner of this business showed up at my front door at 7am, banging, carrying on and ringing the doorbell incessantly, over a bill that had been paid the week prior. (He believed it was outstanding.) It was unhinged, thuggish behavior and frightened my wife - home alone with two young kids at the time because I had left for the office early that day - half to death. You are probably safer with your roofing issue than having this man show up at your home in the early morning banging on your front door and going on about an overdue bill - which, again, had been paid more than a week prior, and for which we received a receipt from the company upon payment. Internal communications issues in the business notwithstanding, it was absurd and dangerous behavior from the owner of this business himself. I've shared this story with all of my Philly friends, though my social media channels, and on as many review sites as I can. Stay away at all costs.

Philadelphia, PA 1 friend 2 reviews Share review Embed review Compliment Send message Follow Jordan W. 11/28/2018 Reiter Roofing should be avoided. Don't use their services. I live in a South Philadelphia Row home. Every three years I get my roof coated. My I have a flat roof which is in excellent condition and well maintained. It's completely clear and unobstructed. No roof deck. The company I usually use closed down because the owner retired so I was looking for an honest, fair, reliable company to do my roof coatings. My two neighbors on my street used Reiter and were very happy with the service and prices so they recommended them to me. I contacted them to set up an appointment and had someone come out to look at my roof to give me an assessment and price quote. The person came by, looked at my roof and took some pictures. They also had a deal going where you get a discount if you do your roof before Nov. I got the assessment in the middle of October. After the assessment, I waited two weeks and nothing. I finally called them and they apologized and sent me the quote out. Of course, it was now Nov so I wasn't going to get that discount even though it was through no fault of my own. I gave them plenty of time to contact me. Well the quote was 1250 dollars to coat my roof. TWICE the amount they charged both of my neighbors even though our houses have the same exact roofs and same square feet. My only conclusion is that I was getting the "you have a nice house so i'm going to soak you" quote. In my experience, when i've invited contractors into my house and they compliment how nice my house is I can usually expect a hefty markup. The person from Reiter complimented how nice my house was within two minutes after i invited him in. The last time this happened, my upstairs toilet was leaking because of a worn seal and I couldn't remove the bolt on the toilet myself because of rust. I had a plumber come over and he immediately told me how nice my house was. He then told me it would take him a half hour to swap out the seal and wanted to charge me 400 dollars. So yes, i'm experienced with shady practices from contractors that think just becuase a person lives in a nice house that they're made of money and can try to milk you. What's most insulting is that Rieter thinks i'm stupid enough to not know what they charged my neighbors for the same exact work with the same exact size roofs. Mine's in excellent condition and coating a roof takes one day to complete. I've never paid more than 600 dollars to coat my roof and they have the nerve to insult my intelligence and try to cheat me. So stay away from this company. You'll regret it if you hire them for a roof coat. Was this review …?

Philadelphia, PA 0 friends 1 review 4 photos Share review Embed review Compliment Send message Follow Janet A. 3/14/2018 This roofing company is the best there is. I hired Barry Reiter 3 times for different roofing issues I had. The last one being the worst problem I ever had and Barry and his men came to the rescue. We needed a new roof (which I expected). Reiter Roofers not only gave me the new roof in a timely matter, and during the worst weather conditions in February, but his price was better than what I had expected! Barry is a very nice person and cares very much about his customers. The men he has on his team are also very nice and explain in detail what they did, where the problems were and how they were handling the issue. After the roof was completely done, Barry inspected the entire job to make sure it is done at his expectation. Overall, I highly recommend Barry Reiter Roofing Company. Was this review …?

He inspected our roof, verbally made a recommendation and followed up with a written estimate; all within ten days of our first conversation. They had the equipment to reach the roof line that other companies did not. The crew was amazingly clean, not a bit of drips or rubbish remained at the end of the day. All this with a guarantee too.

Useful Funny Cool Report review K H. Philadelphia, PA 2 friends 8 reviews Share review Embed review Compliment Send message Follow K H. 8/19/2017 I contacted this company for a small roofing job that shouldn't have taken them long to do at all. No one ever came to give an in-person estimate. It was done solely over the phone. I had an appointment set up for them to come out one day. I called in the morning to verify that they will still coming, and was confirmed. When the appointment time came around, no one showed up, no one called. When I called the office, I was told that they were finishing a job and would be on their way. An hour passed, nothing, so I called again. The receptionist told me that they were on their way and that I would receive a call from her husband. More time passed, nothing. When I called the receptionist again, she said that they were stuck on another job and would be there afterwards. Mid-afternoon came, nothing. When I called again, I was told that it was too late in the day and she couldn't send the roofers out for my original appointment. The receptionist said that she would talk to her husband (the roofer) and let me know if they could come out the following day or another day. Never heard back. I took off the whole day to get the work done and they never showed. I was EXTREMELY dissatisfied with the level of service, rather "non-service", to the point where it is shocking that they have 4 stars on Yelp. I experienced similar bad service from 2 other contractors that I found on Yelp, which were also very highly ranked, so I question the validity of the reviews that these vendors are receiving (i.e. whether friends and family are posting fake reviews to elevate ranking and we're just not hearing more from those who had bad experiences). My takeaway? I will not be using Yelp again to find a contractor after 3 terrible experiences with so-called "top" vendors.

When 11 rolled around I called to ask where they were and they claimed they had already come to the house and looked at the roof at 7:30 that morning. I explained to them that they must have gone to the wrong house. They preceded to argue with me about it, telling me over and over that they had been there. I confirmed the address with them and when they described the house they had been to, lo and behold, it wasn't mine. I told them I just missed a half a day of work waiting for them and their only explanation was "there must have been a miscommunication with the address and that maybe they could try to come over later." Pass. I'm not interested in a roofer who can't even figure out which house he's supposed to be at. K G. and 13 others voted for this review Useful 12 Funny 4 Cool Report review Judie D.

Philadelphia, PA 0 friends 22 reviews 4 photos Share review Embed review Compliment Send message Follow Jay S. 6/9/2015 I called Reiter Roofing two days ago and they gave me a free consultation appointment with Mr. Charlie. He arrived on time as promised, and took fifteen minutes to look at my roof on 48th Street in West Philadelphia. He asked me to climb up there with him and he carefully explained the dynamics of my flat roof. He said that water pooling is common in the neighborhood I live in, and that even though my roof is towards the end of its life, it will certainly withstand one or two more seasons. He gave me his card and said should a leak develop (unlikely in the next one or two years), I can always call back and request a roof to be replaced. He gave me a very reasonable estimate of $1000, an amount which I need not spend right away. Basically, he saved me $1000 for the time being, and now when I need to get my roof replaced, I will most definitely call Mr. Charlie and Reiter Roofing. Very professional, helpful, and kind contractors who are not trying to swindle their customers. I know nothing about roofing, and Mr. Charlie was patient and explained to me the dynamics of a flat roof. I really appreciate his sincerity and honesty in assessing my roof. As a first time home owner, it is always good to have the services of such professionals at hand! ~ Jay 8 people voted for this review Useful 7 Funny 1 Cool Report review Steven A.

Both my wife and I tried to contact them many times to get an estimate to fix a gutter that needed to be repitched. Called them on a Thursday they said they would come on a Tuesday, they showed up Wednesday and then said we would get an estimate right away. After a week of waiting for the estimate we called at least three times and left messages. Three weeks later we finally got the estimate and they wanted over 900 to re-pitch a single 15' gutter. It's something that would probably take two men about two hours total to fix. K G. and 5 others voted for this review Useful 6 Funny Cool Report review Jill C. Philadelphia, PA 48 friends 231 reviews 22 photos Share review Embed review Compliment Send message Follow Jill C. 7/30/2015 So a little bit ago I walked into my back room on my second floor and noticed some water damage in the ceiling. Great, I thought, roof problems! Shopped around and asked around and Reiter was recommended by a few other people. I called them and a few days later the appraiser came out. While he said I could use a new roof, the need wasn't immediate. The big problem was my neighbor had demolished an old chimney and hadn't sealed it correctly. The appraiser was nice enough to climb back up and snap a few pictures for me. A few days later I was emailed the estimate, with the chimney repair work itemized in it's own section. They were able to come out about two weeks later. The guys were awesome! The morning of they actually arrived about ten minutes before they were scheduled to. They had to come through the house and, without my even asking, took off their shoes! They were polite and very sweet toward my dog and my kiddo. I opted for the whole new roof plus the chimney repair. They were quick and efficient. There were two minor things that they had to come back and take care of but that wasn't an issue. One of the workers (John?) took photos of the finished roof too. So far it looks like their work has stopped the leak. 4 people voted for this review Useful 2 Funny 1 Cool 1 Report review Joe N.

Philadelphia, PA 303 friends 9 reviews Share review Embed review Compliment Send message Follow Michael W. 8/20/2014 Reiter (and Chalie and Barry in particular) were exceptionally helpful, responsive, and offered a very reasonable cost. I waited several months to post a review just so I could feel confident that the roof repair did, in fact, stop the leak I experienced. Chalie came out on multiple occasions, offered his assessment, and eventually placed a gutter system up. The cost was very affordable, and he even brought his team out the day after Christmas (!) to install. They examined the remainder of the roof, and identified a few areas beyond a gutter system where the integrity of the roof could be repaird. On a separate event from the gutter install, they sent out staff to patch those up as well, and considered that an ancillary service to the original. In short, they followed up after the initial install, repaired items they identified that were not related to the work they performed (but could nevertheless cause leaks), fixed said items, and did not use this as an opportunity to charge me additional fees. Integrity and respect are hard for businesses to develop, but the top shelf staff at Reiter certainly did that for me. Although I never wish to see another roof leak again, in the unlikely event that I do, Reiter will get my business again. 5 people voted for this review Useful 4 Funny 1 Cool Report review Douglas W.

Several days later, received a call from them to schedule a 3rd appt, receptionist was unapologetic & unwilling to remain on hold for 1 minute while I verified with work if I could take yet ANOTHER day off.
