    I can't believe this horrible company is still in business. They assured me their workers were employees - not contractors - yet the people who showed up had a different company name on their beat up van. The workers crouched on the edge of my roof and whacked at the board closest to the gutter with a hammer to chop off the amount they felt needed to be trimmed off. I was never given the promised drip edge. Then they installed a ridge vent without cutting the whole underneath it. When I complained, they returned and hacked a rough opening with a hammer. The workers worked after dark installing shingles by flashlight. The workers broke the cover to my hot tub by perching a ladder on it and didn't disclose it to me. On the day they returned to repair the damage to my lawn, they raised the bed of the dump truck to dump top soil and broke off many major branches of my tall trees. They then tried to hide this by tossing some branches down my side yard hill and wedging others into the base of evergreens in my yard. While I was trying to decide how to handle this mess, they filed in court for my final payment and pulled sleazy legal manuevers so that I only got part of a resolution because we were just homeowners and Harview brought a sleazy lawyer. They never bent over backwards - only hacked a hole in my attic with a hammer to attach the ridge vent and sent a dump truck that damaged my tree above it. Still waiting for that drip edge... Need I say more?

    I believe this incident was at least 15 years ago as I remember, and I bent over backwards to please Mrs. Stratton. Unfortunately, we went to court and as I remember the judge sided with Harview Roofing. During the installation of Mrs. … More

    I used this company to installing roofing on 2 houses. Joe Greaver, is not a man of his word. He over promises and under delivers. What ever you do if you use him. DO NOT pay him in full unless they are 100% completed with your project. I may have to hire someone to come and finish my project and go back and sue Harview for the money. Not something I plain in my budget

    I recommended this place to my mother after receiving a quote to have the roof to my home done. The owner was VERY professional. He quoted and replaced her front porch roof. Well, a little over a year later, the roof is still leaking. …

    I scheduled an appointment and the no one ever up or called to say they weren't coming and reschedule. Very unprofessional.

  • 1 out of 5k f8 years ago

    They did work on my roof and it's still leaking. They say they'll call you back to get someone out and never do! Extremely frustrating and not friendly or caring.

  • 1 out of 5jay gonzales9 years ago

    If I could rate it 0 stars I would. I set up an appointment in order to see what damages on the roof has happen. First the guy mixes up my house with someone else and tries to play it off and gives me a estimate on the phone. Highly unprofessional I had to chase the company around for answers.

  • 1 out of 5Yves BlackEdited 9 years ago

    Terrible company. They put a brand new roof on which is now leaking. The owner, Joe Greaver, promised to send someone to fix the problem, but it has been weeks, nobody has come, and he's not returning phone calls.

  • 1 out of 5Jim Doran9 years ago

    I had to hire another roofer to redo and finish the work. Only a portion of the contract was completed, and it leaked! Joe and company ignored my calls. It was a very frustrating experience.

    I recently had my roof replaced by Harview Roofing and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From the very first call, their team was responsive, friendly, and transparent about the process and pricing—no hidden fees or upselling. The crew arrived on time, worked efficiently, and treated my property with great care. They explained every step, used high-quality materials, and even went the extra mile to reinforce some vulnerable areas I didn’t originally notice. The new roof looks fantastic and the workmanship is clearly top-notch. Cleanup was thorough—they left my yard spotless. The project finished on schedule and within the quoted price. Most importantly, I now feel confident my home is well-protected for years to come. If you need roofing work done, look no further. Harview Roofing is honest, skilled, and truly customer-focused.

    Highly recommend! Very hard working team, friendly owner/employees. Come out to check everything quickly and gives very fair quotes! Even will price match when possible!

  • 5 out of 5Larry Campf6 months ago

    Harview Roofing came up on a Craigslist search for snow removal in Parkville. We urgently needed the driveway and sidewalks done. They showed within an hour and did a superior job. Wonderful to deal with. Highly recommend!

  • 5 out of 5Jill Chlan9 months ago

    Harview did a great job! We have a low slope roof, so a mulehide membrane roof was installed, along with gutters, downspouts, wrapped the sky lights, they did everything, including replacing a lot of rotted wood. Everything was done really well. Crew was great! I highly recommend Harview! Thanks Joe and Co!

  • 5 out of 5Tim Ackermana year ago

    I recently had a new roof installed by Harview Roofing Company. The people I dealt with were very courteous and professional, coming when they said they would, starting the work on time and quickly responding to, addressing and correcting some issues that arose. I am totally satisfied with their work and am thankful for their great customer service. I would not hesitate recommending them.

    Harview Roofing is the absolute best. Joe and Sandy took extreme care in my roofing situation, brought critical and concise solutions, and implemented seamlessly. They treated me as if i were family. I felt is if I were there top priority at all times. I can honestly say that if you are not using Harview for your roofing and home improvement needs, you are missing out. 20 out of 10.

    Don't look any further. Harview are the folks you want to do your roof! They just completed a second roof (house and barn) for us in three years due to wind storms :-( Joe the owner is knowledgeable, friendly, and knows the business inside and out. He will work with your budget and will do an outstanding job. His crews (not strangers hired by a roofing contractor which is all too common these days) worked hard the whole day and impressed me very much with their attention to detail and good communication. You will be very glad you chose Harview!

  • 5 out of 5Dimi Mexis2 years ago

    Harview Roofing did a great job replacing our roof when we bought our home. Not only did they do a wonderful job but they were so easy to work with. We have referred them out to many of our friends and neighbors.
