Benefits of working with Shaw
Their bid was VERY competitive (it was the second lowest bid that we received from 6 different roofers).
- The entire process, start to finish, required 3.5 days - we were very pleased with how quickly the crew worked and that the process was not extended.
- The crew did not damage our plants - this was an amazing feat given that our yard is completely xeriscaped!
- The crew quickly problem solved issues they encountered when they tore off the old roof (some molding that was rotten and needed to be replaced and some of the chimneys required some patching)
- Most importantly, when we encountered an electrical issues that was associated with the removal of an old fan in the attic, they resolved it VERY quickly. Abe came out to inspect the issue and called an electrician who was able to quickly diagnose and solve the problem. We really appreciated that.
- Glade was very patient with us from start to finish. He personally looked into a specific type of OSB (low VOC) that we wanted to have used, and he was understanding when we had to change our dates for re-roofing.
The new roof looks beautiful!
In short, we are VERY happy with our experience with Shaw Roofing and would highly recommend them.
Shawn (the owner) was very easy to work with and responded in a very timely manner when needed. His crew was very polite and new what they were doing, not a fly by night crew. They cleaned up very nicely when they were completed with the job. I could have not asked for a better roofing company as I'm very picky with contractors. It took the crew 4 days to do the job as I have a large house and attached garage with a covered patio to boot.
Although they said it would be three weeks before they could begin, they had a schedule shift and were able to begin immediately. Jay even came up the first day to make sure things were going smoothly. The roofers were amazing! They worked non-stop, and were very efficient. They were polite and attentive if I had questions, and I was totally impressed by their work ethic. I have had several neighbors comment on how hard they saw them working on my roof. They had the old roof off in two days, the decking completed and the new roof on in three more days. I couldn't believe how quickly everything was done. Each day they brought the dumpster and each evening it was gone. They did a terrific job cleaning up after themselves.
The new roof is beautiful. I get comments all the time and I have happily recommended Shaw to anyone who has mentioned how great the roof looks and how quickly it was finished.
A couple days after it was finished, Jay came back and went up himself to check the work. After making sure he was satisfied, and making sure I was satisfied, I paid him and we were all done. I really appreciated the time he took to make sure everything had been taken care of. I felt like I could trust him, and the company, to be aware of what was in my best interests. I was impressed by their integrity and dedication. While it was not the cheapest option, I feel that it was the best, and I know I got my money's worth!
"Thank you for the review Member! I just wanted to point out that it was Shaw Roofing that performed the outstanding work for you."
They were booked out for a couple weeks so we had to wait for the actual work to start. Once the work started they got everything done within 2-3 work days as promised (the rain hindered some of the work so it wasn't 2-3 days total). After the work was finished we were in limbo for a little bit because no one called or came to us and said "ok, we're done!".
A couple days after they finished we had another rain storm and water leaked and did some damage to our entry way wall and a piece of the ceiling. I called the person who had been overseeing the work and he came out to inspect the damage. We still owed them the rest of the money for the roof, but they agreed that did not need to be paid until the damage was fixed. They offered to either take care of the damage theirselves or I could hire someone of my choosing and they would pay. Since I had a very tight schedule at the time and barely had time to schedule a roofer, I opted to let them fix the damage.
I was not angry about the leak, I know things can happen, but the service after that point went downhill a bit. The person I had been working with on the roofing crew seemed very flustered that he now had to take time to fix his mistake. I realized he had other jobs, but he was working on mine first. after about a week or two they did come and scrape off the damaged parts of the wall, replaster and paint. I had decorative ceiling paper on my ceiling, so they brought in a wallpaper specialist to fix that part - he was awesome (didn't work for Shaw), nice and did a great job!
Eventually everything got fixed and no more leaking, but I just didn't like the way the service got worse when they made a mistake. If I had been really upset with them during the process I could maybe see why they were not so happy, but I was perfectly nice and understanding about the whole thing. To be fair, my husband and I were rarely home at the time so scheduling to get them inside the house to fix the wall was a bit difficult at times, but they were fairly accomodating to work around our schedule.
Overall the roof looks good and the insurance company was happy. Shaw even told me where I could go to get a coupon so I would get a full 50 year warrantly on the shingles (normally an extra $150). They did try to sell me new gutters saying they didn't know how the old gutters would fit without 3 layers of shingles, but I stuck with my old ones and they work just fine.
