Miss Bryhn came by. She told me that tarps would be put over all my bushes (I have 17) to prevent scrap and nails falling in to them and causing damage. She said this would included a drip guard. I had pointed out that I have non-standard …

I just got a new roof and I have no complaints about the roofing job. It only took about one week for them to complete the job after I saw the flyer from my mailbox and called them. However I did find something weird had happened with their …

We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to clarify. We are a family owned company. Please know that every hard earned dollar is as important to us as it is to you. That is why we have clearly listed company policy on all of our promotional materials. At the time of your purchase, you chose to finance your roof replacement. As part of that agreement, our company covered the financing costs charged by the lending institution—an expense that is not insignificant. After the contract was signed, you requested an additional discount from a promotional flyer. While we certainly understand wanting to take advantage of savings opportunities, our promotions are not designed to be combined or “stacked,” especially after an agreement has already been finalized. Applying both the financing cost coverage and an additional discount would have reduced the project below a sustainable level for our business. We made every effort to clearly explain this during our conversations, and we always strive to be transparent and fair in our pricing from the start. We value every customer and stand behind the quality of the work and the terms agreed upon. If you’d like to discuss this further, we’re always happy to continue the conversation offline.

I just called into the office and a lady named then I would highly recommend everyone take their business elsewhere if they treat people like this very unacceptable.Annette answered the phone and was very rude. The first interaction with a customer was to get hung up on before. Any other questions or answer was unacceptable. If this is a type of service you get just by calling in the office then I would highly recommend everyone take their business elsewhere if they treat people like this very unacceptable. I literally asked a question if someone that works there was available. She didn’t ask to take a message or for him to call me back. She just said no and hung up the phone.

Sharon, we get a lot of spam calls so there might be a chance that somehow the office thought it was a spam call. We record all our call’s and think somehow she was confused. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and if there is anything we can do to make your experience better please call back and we will do it!

Beware of Line by Line Roofing in Williamsburg. I reached out to them on behalf of my elderly mother, and it quickly became clear they were trying to take advantage of her. They were severely disorganized, their pricing kept changing, and the terms were never consistent. Instead of clear communication, we got vague answers and high-pressure tactics. These shady practices were enough for us to walk away before any work began. I would strongly warn others—especially families with older homeowners—to stay away and choose a company that is professional, transparent, and trustworthy.

McKayla, We are so sorry you have had this experience. We do not see anyone with your name or last name in our system. We are a locally owned small family business and I can assure you we take care of our elder's and NEVER try to get one over on anyone. If you would please call the office we would love to chat and figure out if this was indeed us and how this happened so we can improve and deal with it in a professional manner.

Ready Roofing installed a roof in January 2021. The one positive thing I can say is that it hasn't leaked yet (only reason for 2 stars versus 1). The entire experience was more difficult than it should have been, and there were some shady business practices. A few high (low) lights: -- I called due to a leak and the initial inspection occurred while I was out of town. I received no feedback and had to have them come back out a second time. --They encouraged me to file a claim with insurance, even though there wasn't an associated weather event. This delayed the process significantly. --When the insurance claim was initially denied, they said they had "people" that would work it and at least get some assistance from the insurance company. The end result was $0 from insurance. --Obtaining a quote that matched what I was verbally told regarding scope and price proved difficult. --I asked if a Ready Roofing employee would be on-site during the install. I was told yes, but this didn't occur. --The first crew made many mistakes, didn't take what I feel were adequate precautions to protect areas in the work area, and left a large amount of trash (including cigarette butts). --A second crew had to come out and fix the first crews' mistakes, and did a decent job. --One area had to be re-flashed once, and their QA person told me it still wasn't acceptable and they'd be back, but that didn't occur. --I was pressured to "sign off" on the job when it wasn't completed to my satisfaction. --The biggest issue: after the job was completed, the salesman stopped by and asked me to pay additional money because the job wasn't quoted properly (I took this as bait and switch). I assume the fact that I declined was the reason the flashing wasn't fixed.

These shiesters put a new roof on a rental house of mine and I regret it everyday. It was a disaster from day one! It all started in early Dec. 2022. At first rr gave Brad, the worker, the wrong email address for sending the proposal to me so there was a delay in communication. After I gave Brad the correct email he then went to the wrong house, then after that he took the wrong measurements. This was all a huge delay in getting my roof on which had active leaks. Finally, when that was all set straight. Brad told me they could not do the roof as there was a big rain storm coming which would last a week. I asked if he could put a tarp over it and I was told no that it would make it worse. One of my tenants in that house had health issues and the moisture and mold were affecting her. Meanwhile I was contacted by the secretary at rr and she said she wanted to confirm I wanted the dark grey shingles. I had previously told Brad I wanted the Pewter Gray. So I had to straighten that out with her. I called back after a week and asked Brad if he could put the roof on now. He told me no, because there was another rain storm coming. The answer again was no to tarping the house. Due to all their mistakes my roof got delayed and my poor tenant had to suffer all thru it. More inside water damage was done too during this time. Finally around Jan 6 2023 the roof was put on but the tenants reported the roof was still leaking and sent me pics. I told rr. They came out but shortly after that my property manager there said there was more leaks and I reported in to rr. Again, they came out. Shortly after that my property manager said there was another leak. rr came out again. The leaks finally were stopped but my long term tenants had moved out. Furious, I called Davies and told him I wanted a huge refund as their company was very slack and unprofessional in their work. Had a hard time getting up with Davies as many times he would not return my calls. He said he w

Great experience with this local company. I got 3 estimates for roof replacement and all were about the same, but went with Line by Line because they were the only ones that actually went into the attic and on the roof to get a good idea of what needed to be done and replaced. Scheduling was easy, no long wait, and the job was done in 1 day. Crew laid out tarps to protect things and cleaned up thoroughly, even blew off the walkways.

Small area roof repair. Vent replaced and other areas identified corrected as well. On time as scheduled. Note that once a technician evaluates the issue there is a two week hold before a date for repair can be scheduled.

Line By Line was phenomenal! The project manager, Michael Rusk, is more than a 10 out of 10 - a true professional who's knowledgeable about every aspect of roofing, including copper flashing which you don't see every day. And Brian and his crew gave 100% working from dawn to dusk during the hottest, most humid weather - don't know how they do it. The bottom line is that I highly recommend Line by Line for your roofing job - they will not disappoint.

At the time, our roof was leaking into our bedroom, so we couldn't wait another day. They were thorough enough to not just replace the shingles but also remove any damaged or worn plywood. In addition, while the roof was open they went down …
