Replace asphalt shingles

My wife & I interviewed 5 separate companies (all of which were rated BBB A- or higher) for quotes on replacing our roof. We considered 4 asphalt and 1 well-known metal roofer. Of the asphalt roofers, 3 of them were GAF Master Elite installers like Cambridge Roofing (which means that they can offer GAF shingles with 50-yr non-prorated warranties), and 1 BP shingle installer.

The quote from Cambridge Roofing offered the exact same quality shingles & underlayment as the competitors. The best part, for us, was that they were easily $2000 less than the nearest (BP) installer, and about $4000 less than the nearest (GAF) installer. They were approximately $12000 less than the most expensive asphalt roofer and about $17000 less than the metal roofer that we had interviewed. (So, words of wisdom: be absolutely sure to solicit multiple quotations when you embark on this type of home repair, since there is a huge variance in costs for, ultimately, the same end result.)

Dealing with Cambridge Roofing's representatives was a real pleasure; unlike some companies, I found the employees at Cambridge Roofing to be at all times polite & knowledgeable, and more than willing to explain specific choices that they had set out in their quotations. My opinion is that this company was not out to "up-sell" me on unnecessary products, which is an issue that I had encountered with some of my roofing quotes -- e.g., some other companies (not Cambridge Roofing) tried to up-sell me on more 'Moore vents' for my already-professionally-ventilated attic, and also on an entire roof covered in an 'ice & water shield' which isn't really necessary for my roof's slope.

The tear-down of the old shingles & installation of the new roof went very smoothly. Cambridge Roofing's 7-man crew worked approximately ~2 days in total. They were polite, respectful, and kept the premises clean. As a layman, all I can really say is that the installation job looks good and doesn't leak; no problems observed thus far.

Overall, I would strongly recommend that anyone solicit a quotation from this company. I'm very pleased with the results and the cost-savings to me were substantial.

New roof, minor roofing repairs

We knew when we moved into our home that we would likely have to get new shingles sooner rather than later...but after the first hard rain in the spring, it turned out to be sooner! Luckily Cambridge Roofing helped us through this crisis. They were friendly, told us what needed to be fixed and what could wait, and overall I felt I could trust them to do a good job, which they did in the end. There was a minor problem which they resolved promptly. Highly recommended.

New roof

We had our roof done by Cambridge Roofing. They gave us a quote and a discount for getting the work done in the Winter. They were quick, efficient and the work looks great. They honored the price from the quote. They also cleaned up after themselves when they were done. Highly recommended!!!!!!
