We had to get some roof cleaning recently, and we ended up going with Vaillancourt for cleaning the…read moremain house, but they said that a stand-alone structure couldn't be cleaned and was going to need a new roof. Their price was beyond what we could afford, so I started shopping around. W.E.Brown roofing had good reviews, so we called them about the stand-alone structure. Their price was in our budget, and we really liked the knowledge and experience of the fellow who came out to spec the job, Ron Bush. They were able to get us on the schedule fast, and the team that came out to replace the roof did a great job. It looks beautiful, and the technology behind the new shingles is impressive. A couple sheets of plywood needed to be replaced, and they needed to brace one of the rafters to hold the plywood securely. They explained everything they were doing and why it needed to be done. I was worried the price would shoot up, but it ended up being entirely reasonable, and now that structure's roof is going to last for years. I'm really happy with them, and we're going to go with Brown when it comes time to replace our main roof. It was a really good experience. I don't think anyone really *wants* to get this kind of work done, but when you need it, you need it, and they made it not only painless, but pleasant.

We are building an addition onto our house and sought out Rick, having heard of his work. He and…read morehis staff were professional and kept in touch throughout the process. Once he started the work, he put in long hours to get the job done in two days. He took photos and sent them to me so I could see the progress while I was at my job. As part of the roof installment, he put in a skylight, which is working well. Rick also had to work around a chimney and other obstacles on the roof. He even suggested a way for us to add trim around our windows to enhance the look. We will definitely call on Rick again if we have roofing needs.

First let me state Rich does not work for me but he is working for my niece and her husband. The…read morehouse is located right down the road from us in Windham VT. He was contracted to build a front porch, put up siding and a metal roof. He said he would be done in 1 week, it's now 9 weeks later and snowing....no roof, no siding and one screwed up porch! Not to mention he said that they would be responsible for cleaning up their mess. I think the pictures show how well that worked out. After not being able to reach him for over a week, he didn't respond to phone calls, text or emails. (My niece even called the State Prison to find out if he was behind bars). They sent him a text and called to tell him that he was fired, effective immediately. Oh he responded to that call. Pictures of text are included in my photos. If you read all his responses to the other reviews. Nothing is ever his fault! We've contacted the Secretary of State as well as our local police. (They are afraid that this psychopath will do something to their house) And an attorney to try and recover some of their money. This is a WARNING to everyone, do NOT hire this company!! Update: he goes by 5 different names and wanted in several states.

I read the poor reviews but one of them said Rich finally completed the work. So I thought I would…read moremake this easier for him. I called and confirmed he worked in my area. Then I offered to send pictures of the metal roof repair along with the specifications I had on the roof. He said he appreciated that and would call me the next day. That was nine days ago. I had also contacted him through Yelp to be sure he recieved my email. I gathered this roofing information and sent it to him to make the most of his time. Unfortunately, he has no respect for anyone else's. He didn't have the courtesy to respond one way or the other. If the job was something he didn't want to take on, then a simple email saying so would suffice. Apparently, that was too inconvenient. Even easier than that would be for him just to say he's not interested when discussing it over the phone. Why have me gather this stuff, send it to him, and then... nothing? Of course finding out now is much better than actually trying to get him to come back and finish any work he started after paying him. So in way, its just as well. ********************************************* UPDATE: The response from the business owner speaks for itself; angry, entitled, misleading and threatening. You can imagine his response if you need to call him back to repair a mistake. Actually there is no need to imagine, just read the review from 'Jocelyn' in which this business broke the law by not calling Dig Safe and then denied everything. He damaged her property and won't return her calls (sounds familiar). And calling Dig Safe couldn't be easier, its just three numbers - 811. It costs nothing and takes two minutes. So if that is too much trouble for this contractor, what do you think the quality of his work would be? Maybe its fine and maybe its not. Use all information available to you to make the right decision in who you hire.
