Due to the rains, timing for the work kept shifting waiting on completion of their other work - we finally got our work done on a third date. But, Ricky (the sales) was responsive to have a tarp installed on the roof as a temporary solution as their operations tried to finalize a timing for fixing the problem. Overall, quite satisfied with Ricky's responsiveness and handling of the siuation and would consider them again for future work.

James was very thorough. He inspected the roof and repaired one cracked shingle. He also fixed the problem with the vent pipe and no more leaks. The chimney had a crack in the cap and he caulked that. James took pictures of all of his work to show us. Our house is on pier & beam and is a two...
They seem to have finally fixed a leak from around the chimney area. We had been having the problem for several months having also tried last another of Angies A-rated roofer. Joe Ochoa's crew installed a new flashing, water shield barrier and sealed the area around the chimney. Due to the...

"Hiram and his company are top notch! We originally found him 5 years ago when we moved into a new house that had rats in the attic. He is super honest and easy to work with, and quickly solved our rodent issues and sealed up all the entry points for reasonable cost. We had the attic re-insulated afterwards and haven't had any issues since. We called him back a couple years later to install two fireplace log kits and repair some parts of a broken outdoor fireplace. Today he came out to ease my mind about animal noises I heard that I thought were coming from inside the attic (but apparently were on the roof). He was super honest that he didn't see a problem and didn't pressure me into any services. Standup guy and company - I highly recommend."

Chimney Repair questions, answered by experts
In the right conditions, a steel roof can easily last 50 years or more. However, your environment and maintenance play a large role in the lifespan of a steel roof. For example, if you live under a large tree that frequently drops limbs, your roof will last much less time. Metal roofs near the sea degrade faster as well due to salt in the air.
Copper roofs last an average of around 100 years, making it one of the longest-lasting types of roofs. It’s significantly more expensive than an asphalt shingle roof, but it also lasts three to four times as long, providing great value for the money. You can extend the life of your copper roof by carrying out routine maintenance, like scheduling annual cleaning and roof inspections.
Sticky shoes help, but you shouldn't be walking on the steel roof— let the pros do that. it's dangerous enough to walk on asphalt shingled roofs which have quite a bit of texture. Stone coating adds a lot of grip, but it still doesn't lock your foot down, so if you absolutely have to be on the roof, make sure you’re secured in another way, like with the harness and rope.
Repairs typically take 1-3 days, depending on the extent of the damage.
Inspections should be conducted annually, and minor repairs should be made as needed.
