Mike Collins of Matt Banes Roofing, (MBRoofing), local to my area, quickly responded when I called…read morefor repairs to my 150+ year old slate barn roof. He assessed the situation from the ground, pretty darned accurately- Advising that he would be by in a few days, to set the ladder up and take some measurements. Mike provided a detailed explanation of what he would do to fix my roof and a reasonable estimate cost. Mike advised that he would be back to do the repairs in about a week as the weather permits. Mike completed the work as promised and he also straightened some slates on and adjacent building. I waited a few days to provide this review as I wanted to see if the repairs that Mike completed were rain proof. Two rain storm since the and all is dry inside my barn. This is my first time calling Matt Banes Roofing and im glad I did- I'm grateful Mike Collins does slate repairs as not many tradesmen do this anymore. My thanks to Mike Collins!

I'm not one to go on a website and write less than favorable reviews but I feel that I must about…read more this one. I had a blue spruce that I needed trimming. The work was was done by another person on his crew not the owner himself. Let me say the finished product was less than desirable. When I told him that the worker topped the tree he said that that should never be done to a spruce. When I told the owner about the issues surrounding the work done his response was " that this guy has been doing this for 20 years, so it must have been what I instructed him to do". First off if you're an expert in something and I tell you to do something that might damage the tree wouldn't you make an effort as the expert to explain the process? The owner had no problems telling me that so why did the worker proceed to do something that in his "20 years" of expertise told him not to do? Which by the way I did not ask him to do. I asked him to bring the height down about 2ft to avoid utility wires. He basically took a saw and chopped the top of the tree off. Really!! Which if done properly, the character and shape of the tree would remain in tact. Wow, 20 years of expertise at it's best. And to make matters worse I asked him to cut back the branches on the bottom so that the branches don't touch the ground. Instead he cut all the bottom branches off the tree and cut them all the way back to the stump so the chance of that area filling in again is very low. My tree needless to say will never be the same and even more upsetting is that the blame was put on me as if I forced this "expert" to chop up my tree. No attempt was made to resolve my dissatisfaction. But he did at least apologize that I was not happy with the results. Nothing was done to try and make the situation right. I plan to wait to see if it improves by next year. If not, down it comes. I'm sure this company may have other areas of expertise but I found trimming and shaping my blue spruce was not one of them. On a good note, the prices are very reasonable. Response time on messages was good.

I can't say enough about these guys. They made our whole house sparkle and exceeded our…read moreexpectations by a mile. We live on a steep hill with the back side of the house sloping sharply towards a small creek. They used very tall ladders to get to ALL the siding. They cleaned the porch including all the tubular wasps nests built in the grout of the stone walls. They took down the remains of a huge hornets nest. They under estimated the size of the house but stayed with their very fair original estimate (we gave them more). We will be using them again next year.

We waited at the house again. after we text him several times he finally text back and said he could not do the job that day again and said he had a full schedule and we would have to wait another 3 to 4 weeks to get on his schedule.

It was a cloudy day, but Gus assured me that the coating would dry in an hour and would not wash away if it rained. Halfway through he asked to be paid and said he need to run an errand and would be back. He returned and then his father, John, showed up telling me it would all wash away if it rained. He told Gus to give me my money back, but Gus said the money was gone. His father said he would make good on it next year when the weather was warmer. They left with my driveway unfinished. Later it rained and what was applied washed away. Now in the summer of 2015 they have refused to return my phone calls and I'm out the money.
