    Regret hiring this company. Don't know how to correctly shingle at my wood stove chimney. Every time I use my wood stove I am reminded of the poor workmanship when the chimney expands with the heat a loud screech is let out. How would you like to live with that?? This chimney was not put back in correctly. It's out crooked and can be seen from the ground looking at it. The lies I was told why was the icing on the crappy attitude and attention to detail.

    John, We’re sorry to hear about your experience. We installed your roof in 2021, and we understand this concern was discussed previously. We regret that this has continued to be a frustration and apologize that you were not satisfied with the outcome at that time.

    Worst home improvement experience I have ever had in 22 years of home ownership. Above Roofing does not even have a roofing crew, they have the lowest bidder or sub-contractor they can find come and do the work. The job that was done was so bad it took them 8-12 more trips and crews to fix the siding they ruined, redo the flashing that was horrible, fix the downspouts that were completely wrong, refoof 1/3 of the garage to get the shingles in a straight line, replace the window flashing that they ruined, and replace the siding they did wrong and just nailed back on to the house. It was stressful, sad, disappointing, and lacked integrity. Their sales pitch about how they cost more because they do a better job is a lie.

    Reply from the business

    Chris, We sincerely apologize that your experience with Above Roofing fell far short of your expectations. Our goal is to provide high-quality service and craftsmanship, and it’s clear from your review that we failed to meet those standards. While we do use subcontractors, we only work with a few select subs and hold them to rigorous industry standards that maintain our expected level of quality. While we wish that your install was completed correctly the first time, we are determined to never leave a job unfinished. We appreciate that you gave us the opportunity to fix the issues, to learn from our mistakes, and ensure our level of service does not fall short again in the future. Integrity is important to us, and we are sincerely sorry that you felt we did not operate with integrity during this project. We hope that our follow-through in fixing the issues and the credit we gave you in the end helps to make up for the inconvenience and undue stress you endured during the project. Thank you again for sharing your feedback so we can continue to grow.

    Very good work

    Reply from the business

    Hi Dayer, Thanks for your kind words, but I'm a little confused as to the 1-star rating you gave us. We always try to complete our work to 100% satisfaction. If there is something we could have done better, please call our office and we'd be happy to help.

    Not recommended. Without even getting on my roof to do a proper inspection I was told that my skylight was beyond repair and would need to be replaced or ripped out and roofed over as a less costly option. I'm not sure how they could tell that just by looking at it from the inside of my house without getting on the roof.

    Reply from the business

    Samuel, We understand your frustration that your skylights were not able to be repaired. We are skylight specialists and although our estimator did not get on the roof (snow and ice caused safety issues), based on his experience and the type of skylights you have it was determined that the only way to ensure a leak-free solution would be to replace the skylights or, for a less expensive option, eliminate them altogether. I would recommend getting a second opinion for your peace of mind.

    We chose Above Roofing for a full roof replacement on our home, which is about 25 years old. Overall, we were happy with the end-to-end experience, including the estimation process, the informational materials, pre-planning experience, and day-off installation (completed in a single day). Above Roofing wasn't the absolute cheapest, but in our evaluation of a few companies they earned our trust with quality of their materials and experience, which felt differentiated. I also leveraged ChatGPT to help us review multiple quotes and understand differences of quotes, including quality of materials. Two points of opportunity -- 1) during the quote process, it would take 2-3 days for replies to my questions whereas I was craving a next-day response; 2) the marketing materials showed that a differentiator for the company was the use of an "Equipter" which is basically a dumpster that raises to roof level to minimize debris across your yard and damage to landscaping. We reviewed our cameras and this is not how the device was used for our install, they merely used it as an on-the-ground dumpster which caused unnecessary damage to plants in the front. When asked about it we kind a kind "sorry" but that was it.

    Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review. We truly appreciate you trusting Above Roofing with such a significant investment in your home. We’re especially glad to hear that our estimation process, educational materials, pre-planning, and installation experience helped make the project feel smooth from beginning to end. We work hard to provide quality materials and craftsmanship, and it means a lot to hear that those things helped earn your trust even though we weren’t the lowest-priced option. We also appreciate you pointing out where we fell short. Waiting 2–3 days for answers during the quote process is longer than it should be, and we understand how important timely communication is when you’re making a major decision about your home. We’re also sorry that the Equipter was not used as you expected and that this resulted in unnecessary damage to the landscaping. You had a reasonable expectation based on what we communicated, and our response when you brought the concern to us should have been more meaningful than simply saying we were sorry. We take that feedback seriously. Thank you again for recognizing what we did well while also giving us an opportunity to improve. Feedback like this helps us become the different breed of roofer we strive to be.

    Repair was made to roof. Hopefully they found the cause of our leak which they believe was around the flashing of the chimney.
