After researching several companies and getting several quotes, I decided to use this company as they initially seemed decent.
I had zero problems with my old roof--no leaks, no ice damming, etc...-- but I went for a new one as I was trying to ward off any potential problems due to the age (25+ years) and worn appearance of it. There wasn't any damage to the roof deck when the very efficient workers removed the old shingles.
I did end up with a flat tire and many nails left around the yard as the cleanup was done rapidly too. The company offered to cover the tire if I could show them the nail, however, my tire company fixed the puncture for free.
I paid the whole invoice right away. Shortly after, it was discovered that the shingles weren't put close enough to the edge and they had to install a drip-edge...I also had to have the shingles around a pipe screwed down as they were sticking up. There was ice-damming which I was told, at various different times, was due to: extreme weather, venting issues, insulation, soffits plugged, and old eavestroughs---all given as possible problems but nothing concrete. How is it that I NEVER had an issue with the roof until I CHANGED it? Whenever I phoned, they were very courteous, however, it takes a Very long time to hear from them and then to get them to come out. They do say that they are busy and that the weather puts them behind. After talking to different companies, roofing association and inspection companies, I have discovered that the best route is to Now go with another company and have them assess the work and get a quote and have any problems fixed elsewhere.
