Had a leaking roof, called Chet’s, who I previously used to put a roof on my former house. Someone came out to my house and said they weren’t sure about getting on my roof because it was steep, finally persuaded them to, they said they couldn’t see anything wrong and didn’t want to go in the attic to look further, told me to call they competitor. I did! They did a great job! I am very disappointed in Chet’s Roofing. Lazy estimator, blamed it on the owner of the company, I hope Chet sees this! Unfortunately, I will never use your company again…and to be clear, I had my skylight and flashing replaced by the company you recommended. Thanks for that!

Thank you for your feedback. We believe in fixing things the right way the first time. We know some companies will provide a cheap patch job that most likely will need to be repaired repeatedly, but we do not want to engage in low quality workmanship in regard to your home because we take the quality care of a person’s home very seriously. We will tell you what needs to be done in our honest professional opinion, and we will not try to sell you on it, it’s our professional opinion, take it or leave it. This person refused to take our professional opinion during the FREE estimate that we gave him, which was all we gave him. We always give FREE estimates. We did not do any work for him. He was charged nothing. We understand that the upkeep of a home can be expensive, and times are hard, and some people will want to go a different route. We don’t believe our estimate is lazy nor do we believe that what transposed between this homeowner and the estimator was negative. We believe he wanted our estimator to just caulk the skylight on the spot and because he didn’t, the homeowner was upset. We really believe his flashing needed to be replaced along with adjacent shingles and hip and ridge to ensure a guaranteed solution to his problem. This is what we would do if it was our home. We wish only the best of luck to this homeowner regarding his roof.

This is the same review from the same solicitor that just called us. He wanted OUR business. He is upset that we did not give him the owner's number, although there is no one her by the name of CHEST, the owner is Chet. I think he meant Chet. Please don't call our business again we do not want to change the paint supplier we use.

during the rains earlier in April we noticed a small leak coming down into our bathroom near the vent, so I contacted a water restoration company to come out and dry it out before any further damage was incurred. thankfully it was a small leak and they were able to get it dried out quickly. They recommended Chet's roofing to tarp the roof until the weather changed enough to make repairs. Chet's came out same day, which I was grateful for and tarped the roof. Unfortunately what they did was tarp a full 25% of the roof, far more than was needed, they didn't ascertain the cause of the leak first, and as a result, they used over 80 anchor screws into my roof for the tarp. This was overkill in the extreme. Once the attic was dry, I had them come out to bid the repair. They quoted me 3600.00 to replace my entire skylight. I could not imagine that the entire skylight needed to be replaced, so I got another quote. Their competitor came out and actually inspected the cause of the leak and found it to be non galvanized screws the builder used, which is pretty standard, for the skylight, and they had rusted in the bottom edge and that rust had allowed small amounts of water to come in. the repair was to replace the screws. minimum service charge. unfortunately, my roof still had 80 holes in it from the tarp, and all those shingles had to be replaced. so instead of a small repair of around a thousand dollars, it became 2500.00, 1500.00 of which was due to Chet's overkill on tarping. Additionally, when Chet's submitted their bill to the restoration company, they had doubled their bid amount. obviously expecting insurance to cover it without checking. So, I am giving Chet's the score they got, because 1) they tried to scam my wife into agreeing to a repair that was not necessary, 2) because their tarp job caused more damage and cost more money to repair than the leak that brought them out in the first place, and 3) because they tried to upcharge the referring agency in orde

Dear Mr. Juge, I apologize on behalf of everyone at Chet’s Roofing & Construction Inc. We’re normally known for our exceptional attention to detail, and we regret that we missed the mark. Please know that your situation was an exception, due to the fact that we were hired by a third party to do a tarp under their instruction. We felt that if we tarped your roof with anything other than screws the tarp would have definitely and immediately blown off due to high velocity winds in that area and at the height. Also, we in no way wanted to give you anything but an honest bid to replace the skylight. That is what we thought you were requesting. We can’t fix the past but you have my personal commitment to improve the way our staff serves every customer.

Worst roofing company I've ever worked with!

Call for a quote on fixing leak around chimney. Guy came out and said he'd email a writen quote as requested. Quote never came. Called and requested the written quote a week later. Told they'd have the estimator send me the written quote. Been three weeks and still no quote. Not impressed.

I "DO NOT RECOMEND" Chet's Roofing, to start the estimate is a "I know exactly what you want" which no, they didnt. They showed up unannounced on they're own schedule, did half the work and left. They actually had to come back to finish. And no, the job was not complete, I'm still missing the feature I needed in place. My money was wasted, WILL NOT USE AGAIN AND DO NOT RECOMMEND. THIS SERVICE CAUSED GREAT GRIEF AT HOME. I WOULD RATE WITH ZERO STARS IF POSSIBLE.

We just bought a new house that came with bonus mold in the attic, so after getting that remediated we called Chet's to check the roof and make sure everything was in good shape. Lucas came out, and even though we had a pretty good idea …

Chet's Roofing went above and beyond in every instance when they replaced our roof. A severe wind storm had blown shingles off, which they came and tarped for the most reasonable price we found. I then got an estimate from Chet's and it also was the most reasonable. Our neighbor had just had their roof replaced by them, and they had only good things to say, so we went ahead with the roof replacement. Lucas helped us with the shingle choice with samples he had in his truck and with many other details that made the entire experience smooth and worry-free. The front desk worked with us on scheduling to fit us in ideally to our schedule. The work also was done in two days, while working in difficult weather conditions. My wife and I are thoroughly impressed with their work and the result. A big thank you to all the gang at Chet's Roofing.

This was a huge investment for us so it was very important we picked a company that knew what they were doing, communicated timely, used quality materials and offered a great warranty. Chet’s roofing checked all those boxes and more. We …

We had Chet's Roofing install a new asphalt shingle roof and gutter replacements. Lucas started by providing the estimates which he did for several different shingle types. The estimate was prompt and clear. We thought the gutters were a little high and Chet's did get a better price for us. The work was done in one day and everything was thoroughly cleaned up. We were away and could not inspect so Lucas went up on the roof and took photos. Other than a couple small end pieces that missed the valley trimming, everything was perfect. I recommend Chet's Roofing without hesitation. You will get great service, a quality job and the best price. We had four estimates and Chet's was the best on an apples to apples comparison. Great company!

Roof isn’t the most fun thing to spend $$ on, but Chet’s made it as painless as possible. The quote they provided was extremely reasonable/competitive. What we really appreciated was the communication/reliability throughout the process. …

This was more than a straight roof job. This roof has ten skylights. All skylights had to be raised to meet code. During the process, due to the age. Seven had to be replaced. They arrived on Monday and finished Wednesday. They left no mess, damage or problems. Easy to work with and very professional. I'm glad we went with Chet's. It was the right choice. I recommend for comfort and piece mind. Call Chet's.

Had roof replaced and house painted and new gutters installed by Chet's in 2022. Cost competitive. More importantly follow up service for a ceiling leak was very prompt and no charge. They stand behind their work. Would recommend to anyone for all of their services without hesitation

Great job removal , repairs and installing with clean-up done as well. Price was below 2 others several $k!

They tacked my roof with professionalism and speed. Started at 8:00 am and finished the same day. I haven’t seen that kind of precision in construction, where something is always not what was anticipated. They had to rearrange their plan when it came to a skylight in the middle of a drain area of the roof. It came out fabulous and they didn’t charge me for the extra time. They tackled the clean-up like their kids would be playing in the yard. And, no broken plants!
