    Poor customer service. Installed new gutters on rotted wood and refused to fix the issue. 60k job and my gutter was falling off in 6 to 9 months. Would not recommend! I also referred them to 2 full roof, siding, downspouts, gutters, etc. additional jobs that they would not have had if I didn't set it up. So roughly 100k to 150k and they couldn't fix the backing on one stretch of gutters. They never brought it to my attention and I have before photos where this was not a previous issue. My roof also leaked the first month or 2. It ruined custom shelving that is now warped. They refused to fix the damages. 0 out of 10. I'd go with another roofer that values their customers.

    EDIT: we are almost a year into this process and still no roof, gutters or down spouts. We were approved last June and it is almost April. This company was paid for half of the work back in September, and they have done nothing but give us the run around. Tried to put a roof on in mid December with sub zero wind chills, where the roof would’ve never sealed. The roof should’ve been on in the fall, or before. We asked to post pone the installation due to sub zero temps. It is now March and have had warm temps for weeks and they are still giving us the run around. No direct answers. Not returning phone calls. Very frustrated to say the least! They did a great job roping us in, and now not doing their part at all!!! We are in the process of getting a new roof and gutters after having wind and hail damage. So far, we have nothing but good things to say about Porter. Ben has been nothing short of amazing! He was very thorough with his initial inspection, explained everything in detail and answered all of our questions. Ben has also went above and beyond with helping to try to communicate with our insurance. 10/10 recommend using Porter!

    Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that Ben was able to provide such thorough inspections, clear explanations, and great support with your insurance process. Going above and beyond for our homeowners is what we strive for every day, and your recommendation means the world to us. We’re grateful you chose Porter Roofing & Restoration and look forward to finishing your project strong!

    Great at start, but then had poor communication and caused our project to take MONTHS longer than it should have and we had to continuously follow up to see when things would get done. ETA: I cannot respond to Porter’s follow up but if management sees this I’d like an email address. The way your company continues to treat us is abhorrent. After MONTHS of no communication when our property was damaged by their painters and we submitted proof day of of the damage, we heard back at the end of the year I’m assuming because they wanted to close out their books. We told them we needed a walk through of our property because the damage that had been done had not been fixed. Instead, the first business day of the new year we got an email from insurance saying you guys called the job done and they wanted their close out payment and extra money to cover extra costs that they had redacted in their submission to insurance. We have the money to still pay, we tried paying part over the summer when part of work was done and no one ever came to get the check. Then today, after leaving a review a few days ago, I have two contractors show up UNANNOUNCED to my house without any communication from your company and when we contacted the project manager, he had no knowledge of it. I’m sorry, but this reeks of shady business dealings and after how poorly we have been treated and the inaccuracies told to our insurance.

    Reply from the business

    Hi Megan — thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re genuinely sorry that while things started off strong, our communication fell short and your project took much longer than it should have. That is not the level of service we expect to provide, and we understand how frustrating it is to feel like you have to continually follow up for updates. Your feedback is important to us, and we’ve opened a task into this feedback and will actively work to improve our internal communication and project timelines so situations like this don’t happen again. We appreciate you trusting us with your roof repair, and we truly value the opportunity to learn and grow from your experience. If you’re open to it, we’d welcome the chance to connect directly, address any remaining concerns, and better understand where we can improve. Thank you again for your honesty — it helps us be better.

    Absolutely terrible PR. Going door to door in Pendleton without a permit. The woman that came to our door was extremely rude to my wife. It says a lot about your company if you have to go door to door to drum up business. I'd live in a tent before I let these clowns replace my roof.

    Reply from the business

    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience—we’re truly sorry to hear about it. First and foremost, we sincerely apologize for any frustration or disrespect your family felt during this interaction. That’s not how we believe anyone should be treated, and it’s certainly not representative of the standards we hold ourselves to at Porter Roofing & Restoration. We take concerns like yours very seriously and will be addressing this internally to ensure that all members of our team are representing our company with professionalism and respect at every doorstep. We also understand the importance of following all local guidelines and permitting requirements, and we’ll be reviewing our procedures in Pendleton to make sure everything is in compliance moving forward. While we understand your current impression of our company, we do hope that we can talk on the phone. Please call us at 317-350-7663. We hope we can earn back a measure of trust through continued improvement and by doing right by the communities we serve.

    Company’s out blatantly disregarding neighborhood “no soliciting” signs and door to door guy instead of just leaving when informed of them wanted to argue and get smart with me over it. (Turns out it absolutely IS still soliciting even if you’re “just trying to sign people up for inspections,” bub). Highly recommend everyone stay away.

    Reply from the business

    We’re truly sorry for the experience you had and appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns. It’s never our intention to come across as disrespectful or to disregard neighborhood preferences, including “no soliciting” signs. We fully understand how frustrating that can be, and we sincerely apologize for any discomfort our visit may have caused. We are also very disappointed to hear that a member of our team did not handle the situation appropriately when asked to leave. That is absolutely not the behavior we expect or accept, and we will be addressing this internally to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Our goal is always to serve communities with integrity and respect, and we’re sorry we fell short of that with you. Thank you again for your feedback—it helps us improve.

    Porter Roofing installed my roof without nailing the decking down to the rafters. Shingles were buckling within 6 months.

    They never call back! No updates for months. Not recommended.

    This review does not reflect the service our small family-owned company strives to provide. We are disheartened by the review in lieu of you contacting our office to speak with a manager or the owner to discuss and rectify. As we are unable to find your name in our system, we would love it if you could reach out to us at 317-350-7663 to resolve.

    Nate came by the house because a bunch of our neighbors were seeing storm damage to their roofs. He was easy to work with. He met with me and my insurance adjuster and, together, they determined we had significant hail and wind damage. Nate guided us through the whole process. During installation, Mike and his crew did a great job tearing off the old roof, installing the new roof, and cleaning up after themselves. Mike walked around the house with me afterwards and we made sure everything that needed to be done was done. He saw things that needed touched up that I didn’t even notice. All around a very professional company and experience.

    Reply from the business

    Jerry, thank you for such a detailed review! We're glad Nate was easy to work with and could guide you through the adjuster meeting and the whole storm damage process.

That kind of attention to detail is exactly what we aim for. We appreciate you taking the time to share this and for trusting us with your roof.

    The team from Porter Roofing helped us get our roof approved for full replacement through insurance, due to storm damage. David, Braden, Zach and Mike worked with us to make sure all repairs were completed and satisfactory. The crew did a great job with cleanup around our property. We’re very happy with end result and recommend Porter Roofing to anyone in need of a roof replacement or inspection.

    Thank you, Brian! We're thrilled that phone call to Keith Wilson was well worth it.
