Zimmerlee Construction

All went very well with Zimmerlee Construction in the repair of part of a tear-off new roofing job (by a different roofer) which had resulted in some water seepage issues.

Mike worked on the project himself with another worker. The roof repair (along with some subsequent work by a mason) seems to have taken care of the water seepage issues.  I'd like to thank Mike for his assistance in putting our water issues behind us.

Fine.  Looks good.  No leaks.  They came back to cover some of the gaps in the gutter covers and add a rain splash guard.

I've had Mike do projects around my house for years. Mike came on time and completed the job that day. Outstanding work as usual.

They are on time and the crew does a super job! I have nothing but good things to say about them!

Very pleased with the work, house looks great

Over a period of 2 years, Zimmerlee installed a total of 33 windows on my 2 story duplex.   Some of the living and dining room windows were quite large.  Eight windows were installed in the fall of 2011 and the remaining 25 were installed in December of 2012.   I have had several winters to evaluate them and I'm extremely happy with the quality of the Ply-Gem Premium double-hung windows.   In once instance, Mike Zimmerlee pointed out a minor surface defect that I probably wouldn't have noticed, and obtained a replacement.   The crew was very professional and cleaned up well afterword.   They forgot to caulk one window in my rear hallway, but Mike Zimmerlee returned to do it personally when it was brought to his attention.  The Ply Gem windows aren't the cheapest on the market, but they are very well made, and my home is much more comfortable in the winter as a result of this improvement.   I would recommend this contractor to anyone.

I would recommend Mike to anyone. He does great work. Mike replaced all my siding and trim and put in new windows on my second floor. Everything is holding up very well.

Mike suggest I replace the roof due to the age and deterioration  of the shingles.Mike said I had some time I did not have to rush into the job the roof would last all winter. I decide to have the job done it was completed in one day. It was a excellent job and very competitive with pricing.

Great work!  Very pleased with work at both houses and price was affordable. Zimmerlee used high quality products and the work was done neatly and professionally.  Very happy with final outcome.  Would definitely recommend and use Zimmerlee Construction again.

They were good. The job ended up really nice. It looks really professional. We were able to master stain that was with the house. It was very well done. The workers were nice guys. That was a place that I could say I would definitely recommend. I had a couple of windows installed and that was a separate charge. The dormer was $1200 including the window. I had two windows installed. They had to work with the inside trim and the exterior trim where it's next to the brick. It was $700 for that. I had the windows provided myself. I paid for those separately. It wasn't included in the cost. It was just for the labor and parts like the wood. I can't really ask for anything. I trust that he was overseeing things properly and that his workers were qualified along with the carpentry skills that they had. That's why I liked them. It's because I have seen the quality. It was apparent. I wanted to get the same level because he set such a high standard with that. I think it was a little extra with the cost for him but I had to pay for what I get. I would use him in the future.

It was very quick. They looked into my roof, and didn't really talked to me what they're going to do but their quote was at the ballpark of the other one. Really don't talk to me and didn't try to win my confidence. I wasn't happy how they approach.

We had about 6 companies quoted from Angieslist. Mike Zimmerlee was the last one came. He was supper nice. We decided go with them.
All roofers are very very nice, very professional. The house is big rental property, my tenants are very happy.  It was rain for long time, the job was started late. But I saw they worked on weekend, I was so happy because week days always rain.
I did talk with all people came for the quoting, but I didn't talk with Mike, my husband did. When they removed the old roof, my tenants had hard time to clean up the attic which was the roofer's job when I got the quote. But Mike said it might be some additional cost on that through the phone. I talked with the roofers, they made a call to their boss, and cleaned up all attic with very nice organized the stuff  storage there, no additional charge.
When we had a little gutter broken problem, I called Mike, He was there cleaning up with another roofer in the rain. I told Mike the Gutter's problem, he said, he will fix it. He also fixed our downspout damage by snow and Ice with out charge.
This was my first experience had so nice contractors. I will use them again for sure.    

The crew was perfect, there was not a piece of debris anywhere. The did it quick and efficiently. When we still had the leak they came back immediately but it had already dried so he said he would come out the next day so he could find where it is. It wasn't the crews fault at all it was the product. They fixed it and I haven't had a problem since.  

Everything was very positive from start to finish, a very professional company. They did great work.

They completely tore off and replaced the roof. 

Very personable, met all of our expectations, prompt with the work. Did everything they promised. 

They came out after the work and fixed some issues they found. They cleaned up all the debris that came down and was in the attic. They also put in a new venting system for air flow. 

Great.

Let me start by saying I recommend and will use Zimmerlee in the future. They were not the lowest bid, but provided the most comprehensive work description in the bid.
Every construction job will have unforeseen items crop up, sometimes in the favor of the people paying the bill, but more often there are additional costs involved. This was no exception,
As the tear off was proceeding, the gutters fell of because the fascia board that was there was to narrow and too thin, so there was nothing for the gutters to hold on to during the tear off. Of course that lead to installing fascia board, gutters, and soffit because of the low price some one else paid years ago.
The additional cost was very reasonable, considering I had no choice but to have the additional work done.When it's all said and done Zimmerlee was not the lowest bid, I tend to shy away from the low bids because "you get what you pay for".  But what was most important is that I got more than what I paid for.  We have had unusual and extremely heavy rains and winds since the work was completed, I have not had a single issue with the work not holding up. I am very satisfied with the price I paid because Zimmerlee did such a good job the first time, there was no need for any warranty work to be performed. That is a bargain in my book.

They bid the job showed up 1 week late but worked until the job was done.  They work 6 day weeks even in the 100 degree days

We spoke with Mike, I think he is the owner. We thought he was totally professional and realistic in explaining to us our choices. He would have put in storm windows, but he let us know that full replacement windows would probably be a better choice for us. He was on time, wrote everything down for us, he uses the computer to sent the quote, so you get it right away and you don't have to wait for anything in mail. It takes some time to order the door and it is a small job, so he told us we would not be a priority job until later in the season. It is taking a while, but he kept us aware of that.


Update once work was finished:
The door took months to order. We knew it would be a while before it was installed since the summer was full of window jobs. Fine. He arranged a time to show up and install it. They showed up and have the door and no handle. We had ordered a custom handle and it wasn't there. And there was no stock handle to use until a new handle could be ordered. Door went back on the truck and many more weeks passed until they came back. He said he would adjust the price and send a new invoice to make up for the mistake

Which was without warning at 8 in the morning. The crew left the job with details such as gaps around the door frame and no strike plate for the bolt on the door, just a big hole in the wood. It was ridiculous and untidy.
I emailed the owner who came back and looked at the work and assured me the crew would be back, I did not need to be home for it as they would need no access to the house.
Of course they once again showed up with zero warning. And they DID need to have the inside door open to access the storm door, so my front door was wide open in November for 2 hours, just wasting heat.

The job was finally done as good as it was going to get. I waited for the new invoice. And waited and waited...
It showed up in December of 2013. Over a year after the work was completed. But the date on the invoice had been changed to January. It was adjusted to take $75 off for the inconvenience.
I paid it because the work was done as we had contracted, but who takes over a year to ask to get paid for their work?
I was very sick and in hospital for quite a while in January 2013, but when I got home after surgery I looked through all the mail and we had no invoice from him at that time. And no reminders or calls came in the eleven months before I got the invoice and paid it.
I would not hire them again and am thanking my lucky stars that we had a trial run with a door before going ahead with all 29 windows in this house.

We had to replace our 40 year old roof, and as always came to Angie's List to find a contractor.  We had 5 estimates and after talking it over talking it over we decided to go with Mike Zimmerlee.  The roof needed to be a tear-off and the crew did a nice job on keeping the debris to a minimum. The neighbor's houses are very close, and the work-crew  made sure their was no damage to the other homes.  The gutters had to be removed and rehung; this is when the gutter guards were added and they work great.  The job took about 4 days and the roof looks very nice.  The shingles are straight and the flashing looks nice.  The guys did a very good job on the final cleanup.  Mike came and we did a final inspection to see if we had any concerns.  Everything was OK.  I would highly recommend  Zimmerlee Construction for your next roof.

Exxcellent and fast. Easy to work with people!

They were very good.  Everything was excellent.  We had different service people coming in from another service provider and I thought that Zimmerlee stood up well for all the people they sent.  We were very satisfied with them.  We will use them in the future.

This was a very big job needing a lot of detailed work. Mike was considerate, polite and neat. The job was done very well.
