Here are some of the main claims that those OTHER companies made:
- Claim: Financial Stability:
- Fact: EA Roofing had no such cash flow problems. Even after the job was done, they were in no big hurry to submit the final invoice.
- Claim: Workmanship
- The competition claimed that the other contractors put the new roof on over top of your old roof just to save money.
- Fact: EA Roofing and Siding did very high quality work. They most definitely took the old roof off, down to the bare wood, before they put the new roof on. If they didn't do that there would have been no way to check for bad decking. They did NOT cut corners to save money.
- Claim: Other contractors don't have a good warranty on their work
- They liked to emphasize that you don't have a warranty for the roof if the company goes out of business (and they are all about to go out of business as they told you in point number one...).
- Fact: EA roofing gave a good warranty: They upgraded the roof to architectural shingles for no extra cost, because they wanted their work to "really look great." The architectural shingles automatically come with a 30 year warranty. In my opinion, the manufacturer warranty is not very useful. It is extremely unlikely you'll ever need it, because NONE of them covers hail damage, which is the real killer of roofs. The fact that it is excluded from the manufacturers warranty is no big deal, since hail damage is already covered by our homeowner's policy.
- [The siding also came with a warranty. I don't recall at the moment how long it is for...]
- Claim: Other contractors void the siding warranty by using a drop in backer...
- Then they show you that their siding design has integrated the siding with the insulation (one piece, with no air gaps). They emphasize that their siding is rated to 190 mph, while the regular siding is mounted on top of the insulation and has air gaps and is only rated to 130 mph. In my opinion, this was a VERY weak selling point. If there are 190 mph winds, then my house is going to get more damage from crashing trees and flying branches, NOT because there are air gaps between the siding and the backer... I'm also not convinced that the integrated siding is all that great, because it is glued in place and does not allow the house to breathe. (I'd rather let my house breathe and not trap the toxins inside...) Either way, if the siding does rip off, then insurance will cover it. Even better, Virginia has a law that prevents your insurance rates from going up if the claim is due to a natural disaster. I'd rather save the difference in price and get NEW siding for the cost of my deductible, if that storm does hit.
- Claim: Other contractors are unable to do larger jobs
- Since we wanted two windows inserted in a brick wall [NOT A TRIVIAL JOB BY ANY MEANS...], we were prepared to hire another contractor to get that done, but EA Roofing and Siding had the appropriate connections to subcontract out that work and coordinate the timing of the projects to knock them out at one time. Very impressive and with INCREDIBLE results! It completely changed the look and atmosphere of the room and main level. We absolutely LOVE the light and the new view to the back yard that we never had before.
- Summary:
- Apparently the large companies know where their competition is and they go out of their way to slam them for hours on end before they will give you their price. EA Roofing and Siding didn't spend any time denigrating other contractors. They just came in, showed you their products and got right to the price, which was SIGNIFICANTLY better than ANYONE else!!! Their workmanship was phenomenal and project management impeccable. On top of that, their price was unbeatable. I just wish we could have saved ourselves all that time researching other contractors before we discovered EA Roofing and Siding. Hope this info saves you that time. God bless.
We called and spoke with TJ with EA Roofing and Siding and gave him the inspectors name and number. He coordinated with inspector. The insurance claim was approved. The work required three separate teams of expertise which was efficiently coordinated by TJ.
The roofing materials were ordered and delivered within the week of the insurance companies approval. TJ was experienced working with the insurance companies process and payment policy. The roofing workers were scheduled the next week. They showed up at 9 AM as scheduled and worked thru the day until almost 9 PM and the roof was completed. The removal of the old roof is very messy but the property was spotless when the crew left.
The next order was for the shutter replacement and siding repair. The workers showed up on time and work was completed and again property left neat.
The next order was for interior painting and again the crew showed up at time we were told and completed the work within the day and departed with the property clean.
We had never had to have this size of a project done before, so you are little apprehensive but working with TJ's professionalism, organizational and communication skills effected a professional, efficient and quality of workmanship. A job well done and to be proud of.
I'm very happy I went with EA Roofing and Siding. In my opinion you can't go wrong with TJ and Tony. They’re honest, accommodating and pleasant to work with and always have a positive attitude. If all business had these traits, then I think you would not need websites like Angies List to screen out the bad ones. Since we know that’s not the case, Angies List will help you identify the one that do.
Here's what TJ and Tony did for me:
- They were responsible for getting my home insurance approved. They set-up the latter and safety ropes and identified the damage and were waiting for the adjuster before he arrived. They came with a positive attitude and it made a big difference.
- They changed their schedule to started my work early to accommodate my schedule. They did this to help me, much appreciated.
- They replaced my 19 year old roof with new premium architectural shingles. Went from old and ugly to new and beautiful.
- They replaced my old aluminum siding with a beautiful vinyl siding. Went from old, ugly and greyest white to new and beautiful wicker color. Love the new color and design.
- They replace my old ugly greyest white gutters with new ones that do not show any hangers and have a high white gloss. Love them.
- They painted my trim on my house. This was subcontract out and was not done very well at first and took a long time to get completed but TJ and Tony made sure they came back and it was done correctly. Now I happy with the results. Thanks Tony and TJ.
Overall - This is the best company I have ever worked with. Great experience. TJ and Tony actually did more work than they had to and did not charge me. They were always easy to contact and responded quickly. I'm very impressed with their professionalism and eagerness to satisfy me. From what I have read all their customers seem to agree - EA Roofing and Siding is the Best!
Skylight took some work to get the right replacement - non-standard size - but once the right replacement skylight was delivered, removal and installation was done quickly.
Tony and Hassan worked with my insurance company and the adjuster to fully identify what needed to be replaced and did the work for the amount approved by the insurance company. Tony was on-site when the adjuster arrived for his inspection and accompanied him throughout.
The roof was of the laminate type which replaced our many years old single layer shingle style, which they don't make anymore. The siding had to be ordered because we used the kind that best matched the previous siding so we would not have any issues with the local HOA architectural committee. It is rare that we didn't use the and quot;tallerand quot; siding type which is more common now but again we wanted it to look very similar to before; just without the hail damage. The EA guys did all that and let us know along the way what was going on. The salesmen came by a few times during construction to check that things were going well.
The came out to explain why the caulking was not needed around every window and door. Previous caulking around the old siding did not look good. This looks great. We could not be happier.
They sent three different crews to the house. One crew each for the roof, siding, and framing/drywall.
The first crew was for the roofing. The crew size was about 4 or 5. The main roof, which is extremely high and steep, took 2 days to complete. At the end of each day the job site was cleaned and the roof was sealed in case of rain.
Two smaller roofs were completed on the third day. One of these roofs had 4 skylights that were in bad shape.
Initially the roofing crew began to install new roofing around them, but when TJ inspected, he not only fixed the problem, but also absorbed most of the cost of the new skylights. TJ also had his crew replace all the surrounding plywood, and use ice shield on the entire roof to prevent the same thing from happening again.
The second crew did the siding and windows. The siding looks great! The detail is fantastic. The house is sealed much better than before and the eaves look great (for example, the siding crew added multiple bends in the aluminum to keep the original decorative appeal).
The last crew closed the door and framed it for a window. They also did all the drywall and painting.
Tony and TJ know what customer service is. I don't say this very often. When I had a concern, they asked questions until they
found the root of my concern, and then they went out of their way to fix it. They did a good job inspecting and correcting potential problems... I never felt as though they were trying to cut corners... in fact, I felt just the opposite. They took pride in their work.
I would definitely do work with them again!
