    They’re were scheduled to come the morning of one day and showed up a completely different time the next day. We weren’t awake so they started walking all over our neighbors property and started setting up ladders against our house without …

    Does not communicate well, or at all. Ignores emails after previously responding. Would not trust Ernie to follow through on commitments.

  • 1 out of 5John KriegEdited 6 years ago

    BEWARE! Although Ernie’s Gutter and Roofing has a number of good reviews (these are the ones he shows on his website), he also has quite a few negative ones. Be sure to read all of these before deciding to hire Ernie. I ended up hiring …

    This is an updated review of my experience with Ernie and his company. I originally left a 5 star review (still posted on his website, even though I deleted it from Google two years ago) not realizing how things would turn out. Everything did seem great once Ernie was done, until I had repairs that needed attention. I paid him in full not realizing there were problems that needed to be fixed. Mind you, this project was over three years ago so I would say that I have been extremely patient with Ernie to get the necessary repairs fixed. He usually ignored most of my calls, texts, and emails for the most part and just every so often call or respond usually with the same response: "I haven't forgotten about you." In some responses, he would also tell me that my repair job was just too small for him to get a crew out to work on it--ironic since he claims "no job too small" on his website or that he literally can't get any crews to work for him. Funny since I read reviews that have been written within the last three years and obviously he is able to do some jobs--just not on my house... Anyway, I wanted to believe him and, like I said, I was very patient--who wants to wait over 3 years for a repair job?!? I went ahead and called another company that responded and did the repairs right away. Unfortunately, because Ernie was unable to follow through with his word and do maybe an hour long repair job on my house in a timely manner, I'm unable, in good conscience, to recommend his services anymore.

  • 1 out of 5Amy Hartz6 years ago

    Upon first meeting with Ernie to schedule our roof replacement, he asked for available dates to complete the job. I let him know of upcoming dates that we were going to be out of town and told him that we would like to hold off on replacing …

  • 1 out of 5christopher robinsonEdited 6 years ago

    do not use this company, you get what you pay for. He will not finish the job if you make the mistake of paying before he finishes like I did. Still waiting on the items in my insurance claim to be finished. He will pretend he’s doing things for you but it’s all for him, a true a-hole. Contacted him for weeks trying to get him to finish the job and he will not respond. Don’t let him tell you the bad reviews are from all unreasonable customers, he just wants to make as much as he can

  • 1 out of 5Gina Kettig6 years ago

    Very unprofessional in communication. Took forever to schedule and get my contact information right. Did not call before arrival, just showed up. Then could not communicate with the workers who arrived, as they did not speak English. Then they did not even have all the right materials for the job. Do not recommend.

  • 1 out of 5Michael Jackson7 years ago

    Can I call you back in 10 minutes, when i get back in the office, does not mean 2+hours later and then hack in my ear for the first minute...I could only imagine what the actual service would be like. No thanks!!!

    Thank you so much for taking the time to share this. We really appreciate the trust you placed in Ernie’s Roofing. We’re glad we could help get your solar exhaust fan installed, even though it was equipment you had already purchased. We know not every contractor wants to deal with customer-supplied materials, but when it makes sense and can be installed properly, we’re happy to help. We also appreciate you mentioning the roof and insurance side of things. Roof replacement and insurance claims can get confusing fast, so we try hard to keep homeowners informed, explain what to expect, and communicate clearly through every step. Thanks again for the kind words and for choosing Ernie’s Roofing. Ernie Ernie’s Roofing

    Extremely helpful and insightful

    Reply from the business

    Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It means a great deal. In Denver, roofing issues are rarely simple. Hail, wind, and freeze thaw cycles can cause damage long before it is obvious from the ground. My job is to give homeowners a clear understanding of what is actually happening up there and recommend the right solution based on evidence, not pressure. I appreciate the opportunity to help protect your home. Ernie

  • 5 out of 5Desiree Byrd7 months ago

    Ernie is a super nice guy! Had an affordable price out of the estimates I collected & got the job done on a good day for me. My gutters were clogged solid, they sent pictures when they were done of them all cleaned out and I wouldn’t even had known they were here….They cleaned everything up perfectly on the ground (my patio)!

Thanks again for trusting Ernie’s Gutter with your gutter repairs. If you ever need anything down the road, you know where to find us.

    Our tenants called on the Sunday before Memorial Day to report multiple roof leaks into the second floor ceiling of our rental home. Ernie took my call, visited the property on Memorial Day (Monday), found the leaks and his crew repaired it in Tuesday. Fair price. Old-fashioned reliability, honesty and skill. Like a trusted friend.

    Ernie and his crew did a wonderful job on my roof replacement. He is very knowledgeable and has many year of service that enabled him to accurately assess the roof repair/replacement. Ernie worked with the insurance company to more thoroughly understand the repairs and replacement that required additional financial consideration. My new roof is beautiful and was installed in a timely manner. The roofing crew were very professional. I highly recommend Ernie for any roofing issues.

    When heavy March snow put my pergola at risk of collapse, Ernie spent time to research my exact structure and manage to arrange for someone to come out in the middle of the night (after 1 am still answering calls himself.) All while reassuring me. Amazing service, fair price quoted, will use again!
