Completed several major renovations in other areas of our home and this was by far my best experience. Contractor provided clear expectations up front and communicated consistently well during entire project. There was a clear sense they were interested in ensuring we were satisfied with the final product. We were given many opportunities to select options during the process which contributed to project success. On-site project lead was excellent, very competent and conscientious. Not gun shy for next project as I was in previous experiences with other contractors.
Response to Provider's Response:
I understand that roofing materials can be figured out by using basic math formulas, but where the process was lacking was that you cannot see the backside of my roof due to a hill. As for the materials quoted, all companies that I contacted were asked for estimates of 3 tab and mid-range architectual shingles, I requested the same (or like) materials for all 4 companies and your quote for the lower end 3 tab shingle was inline with what I ended up paying for the GAF Timberline with a lifetime warranty which was the basis of the deficient materials comment I made in the original post. All estimates were treated the same and I did not let any of them know who the competition was or products being quoted. I will also state that none of them criticized any other company or product.
While I appreciate your defending your company, products, and sales person, I was trying to provide feedback to you about what I see as a flawed presentation.
"Although we are disappointed with the review left by this customer, I do take exception to some of his comments. We first saw him on December 29th after he contacted our office for a proposal on a new roof. Our salesman, Joe, who visited him has been with our company for many years and has 35 years experience in this type of business. Joe continually exceeds sales records even in a volatile economy. All of our salesmen are professional including how they dress, what they drive and in their actions. It is not uncommon for a salesman to not have a ladder as we quote various types of work that does not require one. When we are estimating roof replacements, our salesmen will visit the job, and unless the roof is complex, we may measure it from the ground. There are many ways to measure it from the ground that anyone in the business recognizes. One of the ways this is done is to measure the width of the roof and then either count the shingle tabs up the roof or look at the gables and estimate it's length. In almost 25 years in business we have never known this to be a problem and measurements have always been very accurate. If a roof is too complex to do this we would then have a roofer come out and measure the roof. This appointment was actually 30 minutes in length. Some companies come into your home and use lengthy sales strategies which may be very high pressure. We choose to look at a job, prepare a proposal and then re-meet with the Homeowner. This is the case with this customer which we re-met with on January 5th. The product which was shown was Owens Corning Duration. Owens Corning is a very old and respected manufacturer which has the highest sales of all manufacturers and has 64% of the market in custom homes above $500,000.00. Duration is Owens Cornings top shingle which has a lifetime warranty against winds of 135 mph. Although I understand other companies promoting the product they are selling, we believe it is unprofessional to talk negatively about other companies or products. We would love to have had the opportunity to work with the customer and hope that he has a successful transaction with the company he chooses."
We had a final "Walk Through" today. I was happy with the finished product. I would use Total Home Improvements, Inc again. Tonight we invited our neighbors to look at our 'new' bathroom. Their home is circa 1970 too and they need their bathroom/s renovated and I encouraged them to call Total Home Improvements, Inc.
