Over the Top Roofing & Construction

Dave and Rick were great to work with. Between the two of them, they were quick to respond to any questions or needs we had. Their team did a great job and the roof looks great. We went with them because of their willingness to work with us and our price range. We were also very grateful they were able to put us in thier schedule quickly as we needed the work done sooner than later. We would definitely call them again.

I appreciated the personal follow-ups by Rick. He came to inspect the work the next day, and shoveled some snow that had fallen onto the sidewalk. He also checked with me to make sure that I was happy with the work before giving me the invoice. I recommend this company.

They found the leak and they did a good job. I would use them again.

We gathered 3 competitive quotes in the mid-August timeframe and were finally able to sign Over The Top's proposal a month later. We decided upon OTT because they had the most reasonable price, and Rick was the most knowledgeable about all the construction/replacement/installation aspects of this job. Rick and his crew were always spot-on in arriving when he said they would; all communications were clear and prompt from start to finish. OTT was also very agreeable in supplying us with references, a certificate of their workers compensation insurance policy, and a release of lien of materials from the supplier. We learned that OTT also does painting. So we’ll be contacting them in the spring for further restoration of our old home.

It was quite easy -- we talked on the phone, picked shingle color, and it was scheduled for the following week.

Even though we eventually decided to go with another company, it was a difficult decision. We were VERY impressed with Over the Top Roofing and their proposal was very competitive. We will certainly keep them in mind for future work and highly recommend them to others.

Reply to my inquiry was prompt and roof top inspection was done within 2 working days. In a personal meeting all proposed work to be done, materials to be used, and specific costs were thoroughly discussed, and all my questions were answered in detail. I received a written proposal outlining the work and materials we agreed upon within a few days of our meeting. I was informed by phone of the start day and details about delivery of materials and the dumpster. Work proceded as promised, and the work crew kept me informed of progress of the job. The work crew seemed very organized and worked swiftly. All people concerned were very professional and helpful in our interactions. I was very pleased with the work done and with my overall experience with this company.

Over the Top was responsive and prompt, and did a good job. My only complaint, and it's not insignificant, is that there were roofing nails everywhere when they left - in the lawn, which is not even close to the house and were found by the lawnmower (ouch!), and dozens in the bottom of our pool, which took hours to fish out.

Work on the roof was performed on time and in accordance with what had been proposed. There have been some issues with paperwork and follow-through on getting the assistance with the refund as promised, however, the company has acknowledged the issues and is working toward getting them resolved.

I called Over the Top to have our roof looked at to fix a leak. They set an appointment on July 29 at 1:30. I waited around all afternoon and they never arrived or even called. Update 9/2/10: After our previous negative experience with this company, Rick called us saying he didn't know how our appointment had fallen through the cracks, and asked us to give them another chance. They came out and gave us an estimate and came in substantially lower other estimates. They advised us not to repair the roof based on the leak we experienced during the flooding in July. They made an appointment to tear off and replace our garage roof on Friday Sept. 3. On Sept. 2 they called and said they had extra time and could do it that day if I wanted. They came over and had the roof completely torn off and replaced in about 2.5 hours. They cleaned up everything afterward. They did a wonderful, efficient job, and we were very happy with the experience.

They started on time and were very friendly. The cleanup after the job was done was excellent.

After I heard about Over the Top Roofing on WISN I sent them an E-mail asking for a quote. The quote was in the middle of the other quotes I received but I was so impressed with the professionalism of David Mattheis of "Over the Top" that I went with their quote. They showed up on schedule for the tear-off and replacement and the whole crew was very courteous and respectful to my family. I was also very impressed with the Project Manager onsite who answered all my questions. After the job was completed in one day, the entire crew cleaned up every last piece of old shingles and nails that may have been on my grass and or landscaping. I am very happy with my roof and have recommended "Over the Top Roofing" to my family members.

Both Dave and Rick came out to look at my roof. They quickley told me I was do a rebate on the previous shingles (first contractor to tell me this) Did the estimate and e-mailed it to me the next day. We agreed and they set a date. The roof was installed on the date promised (adjusted for 2 days of rain). They were in constant contact with me from the day we signed until the job was complete. The foreman on the job (Kyle) always made me aware of what to expect next and when it would be accomplished. Completed the job on time even though they corrected some problems we were not aware of (misssing ice shield) at no additional cost. Totally cleaned up when they were done, have never found a nail or a staple. Best contractor I have worked with in a long, long time if not the best.

They exceeded my expections in every area. These guys know how to install a roof. They showed up precisely on schedule with a very professional crew of 10 including a forman and the president of the company. They carefully tarped and covered all of the plants and bushes around the home taking care to not damage anything. For a large crew, everyone seemed to know where to go and what to do when they got there. There was no wasted time and no confusion. They had obiously done this many times before. The job started at 7:30 am and by 3:30 pm they were gone and the only evidence that they even been there was a beautiful new roof. When my wife came outside to see the new roof, she couldn't believe the meticuous clean-up. We walked around the home several times and we did not find any questionable roofing or any damage to the plants and bushes. There were no scraps of singles or any other materials. Very well done!

We were very pleased with the professionalism of the team. There was a lot of snow on the roof and more falling on the day they came. There was a lot of extra work involved to clear the roof and clean up the driveway and sidewalks. Our old roof was sloped and buckling. The 90+ year old rafters needed replacement. It seemed improbable, but they managed to tear-off the entire roof and replace it in one day. They put eleven workers on the job to be sure. A separate team came two days later to install the new seamless gutters and downspouts. In both cases they did a very thorough job of clean-up. OTT offered the most reasonable price of the five roofers we contacted. We feel like we got a top-notch job at a very reasonable price.

They were very good. They gave us an estimate and stuck to that estimate. We actually had them come back and do some other work in the attic. I appreciated that whatever they quoted, they stuck with. They had some very nice young men and they were very professional. We liked them.

They asked for 80% down for the project and could start right away. They were very nice, but I am looking into other companies right now. They might give a $300 discount for Angie's List members. HE offered a $300 discount because I am an Angie's List member!

When I left in the morning for a 7 AM breakfast meeting they were not there yet and by the time I got back home around 9:30 AM they had the old roof off and in the dumpster. By noon they were done with the shingle part of the roof. As they were doing the porch roof they also put in two replacement windows for us. The roof they took off was only 13 years old. Because I went with a cheaper company last time and we had to replace some rotting wood because they did not install the proper edging. I guess that is what you get when you go for price along. I have and will refer Dave and his company to anyone that needs a roof. I liked the idea that he wants to meet with you to explain what they plan to do. All of his employees were friendly and knowledgeable they took the time to remove things around the house as not to break them and replace them when they were done. And I did not have to clean anything up in my yard when they were gone.

They are fairly new in this area. They are quick because they send out six to ten people out at a time. They are neat, dependable, friendly, and professional. The boss, Rick, comes out to look at the project, gives the estimate, then he gets his men together and tells me when they can come out. I'll be using them again to do my driveway in the spring.

I received quotes from other contractors for almost twice the bid from Over the Top Roofing. Completed the work on time and exactly as specified. I have since recommended them to friends and clients who have thanked me for passing their name along.

Work was completed in half a day. Large experienced crew. Good cleanup.

I contacted Dave for an estimate and he came over within a few days. He was very friendly and straight forward and his estimate was in-line with others. With his thorough inspection, he was helpful in pointing out areas that were in need of repair and others that were stable. His information on materials was in-line with information I received on-line. I signed the contract and within a few days, a crew of 10 men arrived at 7AM and the majority of the work was complete by the end of the day. They took great precautions at protecting the landscaping and they did a great job cleaning up. The roof looks great!

They re-roofed the back half of my house in only 2 days. I was very satisfied with the service. They have great follow through, and were a pleasure to work with.

They came on time, and they were very nice. The only concern that I had was that they didn't actually go up on the roof. They just looked in my attic and said that they could see daylight in the area near the chimney.

It was great! They came with a crew of seven men who worked together like the parts of a Swiss watch (that analogy marks my age). They arrived at 7:00 A.M and were finished by noon with everything except the chimney flashing, which took another couple of hours.
