I had two water stains develop on my second floor ceiling. I contacted East Coast Roofing, and the owner, Rick, came out to inspect the roof. He determined that when our roof was replaced by the previous home owners 4 years ago, the original aluminum ridge vent was not replaced and this was causing the leaks. The repairs were completed and we paid. However, I knew that I would not be able to write a useful review until after a significant rain (I needed to see if we had any more leaks or water spots on the ceiling). I am writing this review the evening after Hurricane Matthew passed through Charleston, and I want to report that we did not have one single leak or any water spots appear on the ceiling. Rick's diagnosis of the problem and repair were clearly expertly done, and my husband and I are grateful for his excellent work.

An oak tree next to my house was struck by lightning and it fell on my roof, damaging the fascia, and poking a hole in the roof. After I called him for a bid, Rick promptly surveyed the damage and sent me a reasonable bid. He communicated clearly about what needed to be fixed. He works by himself and he's very meticulous, with a good eye for detail. As he was repairing the roof, he examined previous work on the roof and made suggestions on how it could be done better. He repaired the fascia barge drafter soffit, crown moulding, capped a parapet wall, repaired broken shingles and did a very nice job matching the shingles so that they all blended well. He also replaced damaged ridge vent and ridge cap and then caulked and painted the completed work. I appreciated how promptly Andrea responded to my emails and calls when we were setting up the schedule for the work days.

Rick successfully repaired the parts of our complex roofing system that were the cause of our leak. Because it was a two day job he made the professional decision to delay starting the job several times because of weather issues (during the recent flooding). He always contacted us when rescheduling was necessary. His able assistants were also professional in every way.
Description of Work
We had a "mystery leak" in our roof and Rick made the necessary repairs after other roofers tried and failed to find and fix the issue.

The first time he was ok, but when we called him back for a leaks he charges an exorbitant amount of money. He has a "life time warranty" obviously not for my family though because he did a little patch job on a 1 year old roof and didn't mention a bill while at my home and I even tipped him for his troubles. Do not hire this man.

This was not a standard service call but an after- hours repair at the beginning of the historic deluge. The customer considered a damp spot on the block wall in their attic an emergency worthy of setting up a 2 story ladder and working on a steep 10/12 pitch roof in the pouring rain. The leak I patched for this customer was not affiliated with the roof I put on. The water was coming in through the mortar joints on the parapet fire wall. I photographed the problem area and showed it to the customer so they were aware prior to the repair that the issue was not with the roof and thus not covered under warranty. Even so, when the customer called to express their disappointment with the invoice I waived the charge since I did not give them an amount prior to the repair. I do not think that showing up within an hour of a phone call after hours and in the pouring rain and waiving the invoice warrants the low grades given.Mary M.

Attempted, unsuccessfully, to arrange an appointment for an estimate through Angie's List. Not sure if this is an issue with Angie's List (since there have been 2 recent occasions when a request seems to have fallen in to a black hole and not responded to). When I followed up with a call, there was a delay of a couple of days before they responded back. Set an appointment for Aug 4th. The estimator came to the house and completed the assessment and said he would email the estimate by the end of the week. I have called each of the last three days to determine the status and left voicemails on at least two occasions with no follow up call or email received. Gave him a D instead of an F because at least he showed for the scheduled estimate appointment. Moving on.
Description of Work
Performed an assessment of our roof with the promise of an estimate for the replacement work. NO estimate provided to date.

The coating on my flat roof had deteriorated and needed replacing. East Coast Roofing was responsive, and reliable in providing a quotation and in scheduling and applying the coating. Rick did an excellent job and did not try to sell me services that I did not need. I would use them again.

Had old "Hugo" roof and small chimney removed. Then had new roof installed. The entire job took just two days and we are very happy with the results. Would use East Coast Roofing again without a doubt.
Description of Work
Had tarps all around the perimeter of house to catch all the debris from old roof being removed. Had dumpster container for all trash and debris. All workers were professional and polite. Very easy to work with and would recommend to others if asked for a referral.

I thought I had leaky riff so I called a couple of roofing companies to give me estimates. The guy from East Coast roofing showed up and spent about 45 minutes with me. He researched the problem thoroughly including climbing up on top of the roof. Turns out that I have a leak in a line from condensation pump in an area that was very difficult to access. The guy that visited was very helpful, pointed me to the problem and didn't even charge me for the diagnostic evaluation. And to be honest, given the amount of effort that he expanded I really expected to be charged and was prepared pay. It was nice to deal with an honest worker and company and I really appreciate their efforts.

The estimate was for a roof replacement (small roof), adding a power vent (quote offered two but I went with one so cost of serv includes only one), and repairing some wood rot on a piece of fascia on the back of the home. The guy who came out was nice and professional. One small qualm was he knew it was a rental and never asked what sort of shingles I wanted. Completely slipped my mind to specify but quoted me on more expensive architectural shingles instead of cheaper 3 tab. Minor but noted. My biggest issue is I emailed Andrea back for more information and never got a response. Decided to go with a different roofer who communicated better, but also pricing was much better mainly because East Coast likely has greater overhead.

Service was excellent and work was performed expertly. Cleanup after the job was thorough. Quality of shingles and flat roof materials was higher than that offered by other contractors. Price was good when compared to other contractors' proposals. Mr. Rick DeVries and his personnel were very professional. I would use this company again. I can, without hesitation, recommend East Coast Roofing to others.

Rick was very nice and professional to work with. Over a period of time a few different people had looked at a leaking problem on a wall in our house. Rick actually determined the problem and repaired the problem. Over the last few months we have monitored that wall and it has been perfect. We are going to be replacing the rest of the roof soon and will be using Rick for that job based on our positive experience with his company.

We had feared the repair would be too obvious, but he blended them with old roof. The entire roof was checked for further damage. This roof is very steep making repair, inspection difficult. We are very pleased with the work and professionalism of East Coast. We will highly recommend to neighbors and friends.
Description of Work
Several shingles on front and back of house had blown off during a recent storm. Rick was able to blend the shingles from bundles that were left from original roof installation.

Great. See note above.
Description of Work
They removed all the old shingles, and the plywood. They replaced the entire roof in 1 day, and did a great job. They were on time, worked thru the day, cleaned up everything, and even trimmed the tree branches that were overhanging the roof, and hauled the branches away. They scanned the yard with a magnet to make sure they got all of the nails picked up. I was very, very please Rick Devries and his company.

I called several companies to get estimates on a very bad leak around our chimney. Rick was the only one that promptly called me back. He got out within a few days to review the job and give me an estimate. We scheduled the work for 9 Sep 2013 at 9am and he and another member of his crew showed up right on time and ready to get started. Work was completed within the approximately 3 - 4 hours that he has estimated. This included replacing the flashing and all the associated shingles. We have not yet had a hard enough rain to see how the repair holds up but if there are any problems I am confident he will address them as quickly as possible. I was impressed with Rick's professionalism and knowledge of roofing. They cleaned up so well that you could not find any evidence they had even been there. Overall, a very good experience with this contractor.

Rick was prompt and did the job in short order. Our correspondence was primarily by e-mail.....all inquiries were handled promptly. If our first option is not successful, we will have him back for a major repair.
Description of Work
This is second time we have had leak showing on an interior ceiling. The first repair (by another person) we had done did not solve the problem. Rick arrived earlier than planned; assessed the situation; and gave us two options since he was uncertain of the cause. We opted for the less expensive options. Time will tell if this worked.

I called them early in the morning and they didn't call me back until later that evening. I had already found another company to do the job; but I was glad that they responded back to me. They told me that if the other company didn't work out, to give them a call.

Ripped out all of the bad wood and replaced it. Then put the shingles back on. No more leaks!!
Description of Work
We orginally called Rick to repair what we thought were minor leaks. These became major when Rick discovered that the leaks had rotted the wood sheathing and roof trusses And on top of that he found termite damage. We built rom stratch and will only use the best contractors to work on it. We were extremely satisfied with Rick and his team at East Coast.
