Good Roofer needed

by Kim H » Wed Oct 29, 2008 4:17 pm

We had roof damage during the wind storm, and finally got our insurance check. Our entire roof needs redone, and we need to find a good, reasonable, and reliable roofer, who hopefully can also replace our gutters, and fix the wood/paint our house. We had a guy out here to put up patches after the storm who we were going to have take care of the rest, but when the appraiser came out, he said whoever did our patches did a poor job. Obviously, he's out. Any suggestions? I joined Angie's list, and one of the companies that came up with an 'A' rating had 7 complaints on BBB in the last 36 months. So I'm trying the 'regular' word of mouth!!! TIA!

Kim, we had a very good company using Mexican workers replace our roof a couple of years ago (not damage, just the ravages of time), and I've got Mary trying to find our contact information for them. They were hard-working, very responsible, did a great job and charged a very fair price.

I can't tell you for sure whether the gutter and wood repair would be within their job description, though ... but at least I'll try to get you the contact so you can find out.

That would be great, Robin, thanks so much! Do you think they'll also make us some gorditas? <sorry!> We really would appreciate the referral - ours is also due to 'the ravages of time', but the wind storm, oh, and that big limb, also did it's job!

Awesome, thank you! Do you know if they would also do the gutters/woodwork? We'll probably just call them tomorrow to have them come out for an estimate. Can't think of a better referral!!!

Great timing, as we need to have our roof looked at, as well.

Our insurance adjuster said there was probably less than $250 damage, but just speaking to a few roofers, and telling them about the damage, they're estimating anywhere from $1000, to the cost of a new roof, so who knows?

We got an estimate first, and then talked to the insurance co. Not sure if that made a difference, but the guy who gave our estimate said we really needed a whole new roof. Our adjuster agreed, and insurance is paying for the whole thing. You may want to see if you can get a different adjuster out there since you've had the roofer estimate. I don't know how that works, but just a thought.
