Leonard Roofing LLC

The work was done in a day which was great but they nailed nails through my ceiling and porch not the rafters. I contacted them and sent them pictures of what they had done. For months no one contacted me about fixing it then the calls started. A man came and looked at what they had done and told me not to look up and I wouldn?t see it, also told me on the porch that that was how it was supposed to be and that a house was like a new car that you take care of it for a couple of months then let it go..ummm no this is my home!! So he wanted to cut the nails off and fill the holes with wood filler (I have a log home) and that just wasn?t good enough for me. There is over 30 nails just on the inside through my ceiling and 20 on my porches from the gutters. So here are some pictures of what they demolished and tried to play it off like it was nothing. I?m very disappointed in this company and the way they have tried to handle this situation.

They were very professional, very good at what they did. It seem like that every work they did has a crew assigned for the service.

Pro: The house has a new roof. Cons: 1) Business owner expected to be paid two hours before job was finished and was impatient with my desire to pay when job was complete. 2) Ridge vent ends at least one foot from either end of roof. I was not consulted. Looks strange--different from other houses I've had roofed, where ridge vent spanned the whole ridge. 3) Crew knocked down furnace chimney as I requested then business owner directed them to construct 6-foot gas vent atop house that looked like nuclear cooling tower. Objected to my request to lower it, but finally did. This was the last task completed and crew did not securely attach the cap to top of the vent. I asked how many of these gas vents they had installed, and they said this was the first one.

Great, Did A Super Job .

Leonard Roofing,LLC  is THE ONLY "GAF Master Elite" Certified Roofing Contractor within at Least 80 mile radius of my home, in Gray, TN. They also are Certified Installers of many other brands of Shingles. Certified from the Shingle Companies, require Training and extra costs for the Roofing Contractors to assure the Highest Standards, and to receive a Truly Register-able Warranty, that is worth more than a piece of paper. If you cannot get your warranty registered with the Shingle manufacturer, Your so-called Warranty, Means Nothing.
       I could Not Be More Pleased than doing business with this Company! You Will Never Regret Choosing this company over ALL  the others, for your Roof.
     Mr. Dennis Leonard, did my Roofing estimate. I had already had nearly every ( A rated Roofing Contractor on Angie's List) within a 40 mile radius, Give me estimates, in the last Year Prior to hiring Leonard Roofing, LLC. I did extensive research online about Replacing an Old Roof. I was Shocked how many people in the Tri-Cities Area, write Glowing  "A "(reviews on Angie's List) for the Cheapest, Roofing Contractors,  who install a SubPar, even Poor Product. The Roof is the Most Important Structure of One's Home. Evidently This area, gives the Best Reviews to the Lowest Cost/done in One Day Contractors, instead of Choosing QUALITY, or doing any checking  on the Product being put on their Roofs. I had lower estimates, from A Rated Contractors, with the Highest Reviews, who were installing a POOR Product. Horribly Rated and Reviewed Cheap Shingles, 15 lb Felt Underlayment, and No quality warranty. (that can be actually Registered with the Shingle Manufacturer).
      
      Some questions that are Important. "How Many Nails per shingle?" "Which Shingle Installed?"
"Which Underlayment?" "Does your estimate include 'DRIP EDGE'?...If you think you Don't need "Drip Edge", just Google it, and look at the National Association Of Roofing Contractors STANDARDS, and WHY they have these standards. If  you are doing a "flip house" and don't care if your roof passes a Home Inspection, Hire One of the Other (HIGHLY RATED, GLOWING Angie's List Reviews) that do the cheapest work, and you will wind up replacing your Roof again, or repairing leaks in No time at all. I Did my Homework BEFORE Hiring. I educated myself about Quality, also Calling GAF (shingle company direct) and asked many Questions, including about Their 50 Year Warranty. The GAF Timberline Shingles are the Highest Rated in all of the U.S.. Yes, Better than Owens-Corning. Call the Shingle Manufacturers and Check the Requirements of Getting their Warranties REGISTERED. A Piece of paper is No Good, if Your Warranty Cannot Be REGISTERED with the Shingle Manufacturer!! If you are not getting 6 nails per shingle, your shingles will not withstand high winds, period. If you get a terrible quality shingle, you are really asking for problems and costly Repairs later. Want it Done RIGHT, THE FIRST TIME??? Leonard Roofing!
 
    I had Highly Rated Contractors, from Here on Angie's List,  trying to sell me 15 lb felt underlayment, and No Drip Edge, with the Premium GAF Shingles. If you get a high wind, bad storm, the Drip Edge is what Protects the Wood underneath the shingles from Rotting, and the Underlayment is of Great Importance!! The Superior synthetic underlayments made now, will actually seal your Roof from Leaks for up to 6 Months, if a Shingle Fails, or blows off, cracks, etc...Who in their Right Mind would want 15 lb Felt under Premium Shingles? No One, who wants Quality, or a Long Life of a Roof System, with No COSTLY Leaks. Your Roofing Installers make All The Difference in the World, as to the Quality of your Roof, it is not all about just the Shingle..My previous roof did Not have Drip Edge installed, and the shingles cracked and rotted over the gutters.  But more important, I had a great deal of Wood Rotted out underneath the Shingles and Felt underlayment, All Along All 4 Edges of my Home. Leonard Roofing, tore off all the old shingles, nails, felt and bad wood, and replaced with New Wood before the new Roofing System was Installed, by these Quality Professionals.
   
  Only a "GAF CERTIFIED" or "GAF MASTER ELITE" Roofing Contractor Can Give You the 50 Year REGISTERED Warranty.  No Other Roofer can give you that Warranty, only Ten Years warranty, on the Same Premium Shingle, if Not Installed by a GAF Trained Roofing Contractor. If you don't believe me, Call GAF yourself. I had Many, Many, estimates who Misrepresented this to me, and they will to You too, to get your Business. They will Lie Right to you, as they tell you of their 50 year warranty, that is only Really 10 years, through the shingle Company, IF registered with them at all by the "roofing Contractor" you hire.
    
  GAF is the Largest manufacturer of Shingles in North America, and has been in business since the 1800's . The "GAF Certified" is the least GAF Training Certification to qualify for their 50 Year Warranty. The  "GAF MASTER ELITE Roofing  Contractors" have had much more extensive training from the shingle manufacturer themselves. Yes, the Roofing Contractors have to PAY MORE THEMSELVES For this Training. So, of course their labor may not be as Cheap as a few of the Lesser Trained Roofing Contractors or 'fly-by-night' people out there Conning You, and Lying to you about the Inferior Product and Inferior Installation, and INFERIOR WARRANTY you Will Receive from the Shingle Co. If You Hire Them...
 
    Again, LEONARD ROOFING IS THE ONLY "GAF MASTER ELITE" Roofing Contractor within at least an 80 Mile Radius of the Tri-Cities. And boy, does it Show in their Work, Professionalism, Installation, and Final Product!!!!
 
     If You QUALITY at a Very Affordable price, with the Best Warranty in The Business, You Want to Contact Dennis Leonard, and Hire This Company for your Most Important Structure On Your Home. I can Not Stress to you enough, how much you need to educate yourself, on Roofing Systems, before You Hire one of These (All "A", Highly Rated, Glowing Reviews, on Angie's list) Contractors. I can only suggest, in addition to offering Inferior products, they are also Using the Least Trained, Cheapest Labor they can Find...If you Don't Care about the QUALITY of Your Roof, go with one of those cheap guys.. You Will Be Sorry, just give it a few years...
  
     If you Care about the Quality of Your Roof, and all its components, and the Quality & Training of your Installers, Including your Warranty being truly Worth Anything, I Highly Recommend You Hire Leonard Roofing, LLC. You Won't be Disappointed.
 
 Dennis Leonard is a very Honest, Professional, Trustworthy, and Honorable man to do business with. I never got to meet his brother, but this is a First Rate Quality Company, you can Truly Trust.

Dennis was very professional and responded in a timely manner to any of my concerns or questions.  He also offered/provided a better roof than the one I thought I wanted, and when he ran into a snag trying to get a product I requested he was great at keeping me posted regarding the delay.  I would highly recommend him!

With my eyes closed, I will recommend them.  They were on time.  They did great work.  For me, it?s an ?A++? company.  They knew I was purchasing the cottage and I told them that the roof needed some fixing as soon as I signed the papers.  They ordered the stuff and they were there as soon as I signed the paper and as soon as the product got there for the roof so that was within a couple of days which was amazing.  They were just amazing.  It took them three days to complete the work.

You get what you pay for.  They might not be the cheapest but you?ll get great product.   I have not one complain about that company.

Mr. Leonard was extremely understanding and patient. While not the cheapest quote we received, Leonard Roofing's price was competitive, and we are extremely pleased with the completed job. The crew did a good job of attempting to get all the nails up. The job was completed in a timely fashion.

Roofing company finished the installation and clean up on time and the work crew was easy to work with.  Job well done.  I will heartily recommend this company.

Once the tree was removed and insurance company gave their okay they were right on it.  Cleaned up after their selves. Great Company!

No complaints

Very responsive and waited till good time of year. Arrived on job at the time they said they would be. Clean up was excellent great job

I called Brent at the ABC Supply Co., I told him that John from Leonard Roofing had referred me to him.  I explained that I needed someone in my area that could do a really good roofing job (shingles).  Brent took my number and said that he would doing some searching and would get back with me as soon as he could.  Brent called back, he gave our number to a Eddie Stevens, he said he was good.  Brent said that if we did not hear anything from them to give him a call back.  We never did hear nothing back from Eddie Stevens.  I hated to call Brent or John back, I know both had went out of their ways to help and I greatly appreciated that.

My experience with them was good.  After the hailstorm, they were very busy but they actually got two man before they estimated.
