Disclaimer: Work completed several years ago; updating this because I was on reviewing something else and realize I never finished,and to clarify claims made in a reply to my husband's review that were untrue.
Hired Brown Bros Roofing to replace roof and windows on my home, and to replace windows in my father's.
My home. Replacement of roof was fairly quick. We love the shingles and the color we chose; however, it's important to note that we initially wanted a tin roof because of the cost savings when compared to regular shingles. Unfortunately Brown Bros talked us out of it because they actually didn't know how to install them and just wanted the business. Anyway, they installed a ridge vent because we were having trouble with moisture in our unfinished attic. Unfortunately, they didn't tarp anything in our attic so all my son's baby toys and outgrown stuff, as well as our Christmas decor, got completely covered in saw dust and debris; they never cleaned it. The yard wasn't very well cleaned afterward, but I can get over that - except for the nails I found for at least a year after they finished. When installed, the roofers did an OK job. Onto the replacement windows. This was done by two of the guys employed by Brown Bros. We wanted Harvey windows, but they again talked us out of our choice because they claimed there was a better, less expensive but similar option, and if we went with this option, we might be able to get a deal, since they would be purchased for both my house and my father's. Nope, no deal ever happened; we just got "knock-off" Harvey windows that are actually thicker (less window). Installation was average except for: all the scratches to my Gumwood trim that were never fixed; the windows in my attic don't have locks on them because they "ran out"; when I was shutting one of the windows in my bedroom, a piece of trim fell on my head because it wasn't nailed back in; and lastly (I think), they never washed the windows, so we had glue and finger prints all over them when they were finished. OH! I almost forgot: I wanted bay windows in my kitchen, but they talked us out of those, too - we ended up with side-by-sides and again, lots of scratches from the install. All in all, the windows work better than the older ones, so I'll take it; however, for the same end price, I could have gotten my Harvey's :(
OK, onto my dad's. He up in age, so he was just happy to have new windows; they truly did make his home more efficient, especially since the house was still rockin' its original 1919 rope-and-pullies. Same 2 guys, and my dad went with the same windows; with the stain in his home, the color was a perfect match. Unfortunately, there was quite a bit of clean up to do after the guys were done, as well as many scratches throughout his dark trim. My dad's happy, so I'll leave it at that.
Lastly, to correct the reply on my husband's review. No, we did NOT have a final walk-through (at my house or my dad's); if we did, I would have pointed out the lack of clean-up and things that were missing. No, your comment is not completely accurate. You called me repeatedly after my husband's review and when I finally answered I did NOT say there were no problems; I actually said that we were not completely happy about the outcome, that I would talk to my husband and that if we want to talk to you we would call you back. (We didn't want to and therefore didn't; the next day, I saw your reply.) And lastly, yes, we did ask for pricing on siding for both homes, but knew something was up when we were provided only ONE siding option?!?!? FYI, there are other options besides Home Depot's: we had our house sided, and went to a showroom with SEVERAL color options AND displays. read more
