After receiving a letter from my homeowners insurance company cancelling my policy as my siding was…read moreold I contacted Vince at Gold Star Roofing and Exteriors as they had put new roof on my home a few years ago. Vince promptly scheduled an appointment with me and arrived to see what I needed done. We agreed on the full boat. He contacted to replace my siding, windows add new fascia, soffit and gutters. I also needed some work done in my garage and a couple of things done in side my home. He also replaced 3 doors inside and out along with new locks. On top of all this Vince recommended a garage door company to install a new electric garage door. Once the materials arrived Joe and Martin went right to work. These are two of the most polite, respectful hard working men I've ever had work on my home. Even to the point of doing some extra things I needed done. The work was done in a timely manner and the quality was excellent. The overall cost was very competitive and I truly appreciated all the extra things they did without any negative comments. This is really an awesome company and I will not hesitate to request their services in the future. Thank you gentlemen, job well done!

This was a world wind experience with Republic Roofing for sure, but hard lessons were learned. I…read moreknow I could never recommend them for anything to anyone based off of my personal experience. It was hard to get a hold of them originally, I did a review then a d they finally called me back thay should have been my sign, however I took down the review to give them a chance as they were referred for being affordable. Well you definitely get what you pay for, especially when it comes to their lack luster customer service and ability to follow directions and respect to the home owners/ customers (none of which was given). I can mostly assume the disrespect from the crew was due to my demographic base on the reception that both I and my neighbor received by the crew 1. Not notifing arrival / departure 2. No permission request to begin work and points of entry, they illegally set up on my neighbors roof without notification of myself or asking permission 3. They were argumentative with both my neighbor and myself, the paying customer 4. The administrative staff made it worse and stated I gave permission that was never given and I reached out to VP that I did the walk through with and he confirmed where they would enter via my property and not the neighbors at all 5. They dont use pay links like most companies and zelle has limitations on which you can pay and the process was questionable 6. I had to constantly reach out on receipt of payment with delayed or no responses. The entire experience leaves me with the company or at minimum the workers are sexist, racist, uneducated on policies as it relates to liability, disrespectful and unprofessional. I never guessed I would have to send a company I'm paying thousands of dollars a email as such below: "To whom it may concern, The statement in the email below is absolutely false and unappreciated. I never stated verbally nor in person that anyone would be able to use my neighbors roof to access my own. It never even came up. I only expressed that whom ever could use the rear of my home and my balcony to access the roof, the same that was told to your workers. This email and the attitudes of your workers today was 100% unacceptable and I hope it is not how you normally conduct business. No one knocked on my neighbor or my door upon arrival, which is a major strike, and extremely rude. No one introduced themselves or spoke to either of us calmly upon explaining they were at the wrong property and on the wrong roof; they told us both owners that it was fine and that we would not be liable, which is false and problematic. If one or both of the owners express that they need to enter the appropriate way, that was what needed to be done! It is further concerning how dismissive they were the entire time and their logic being that it was easier to go through my neighbors roof instead of the access that I discussed and instructed. Anything could have happened or escalated due to this horrible situation. They literally trespassed on my neighbor's property and illegally access his roof and had the audacity to be rude about it, that is horrifying, anything could have resulted due to that alone. Further more we both have cameras and proof no one knocked on either of our doors upon arrival or departure. After further review of this email, the recklessness of the workers and all the issues of legalities/liabilities and the potential outcome if my neighbor would have protected his property or called the police does not sit well with me at all. "I am sorry that our crew accessed your property without permission. Unfortunately owner represented to us that she had prior permission to access your property. We will clean up and check your roof. We do have liability insurance and you'll have no liability for work on ------." I am highly disappointed and dissatisfied with the totality of this experience and feedback will reflect. Respectfully, NAME- (whom gave no representation of any previous permission of another person's dwelling)" If I could give zero stars I would,

I recently had my roof replaced by Republic Roofing in Kirkwood Mo…read more From start to finish everything was professional and everyone was very friendly. I could not get the truck into my driveway so the crew carried the shingles up the ladder. I additionally had rotten wood on the back side of the house and this was also replaced. The job was done in one day and Brad from Republic came by during the day at least 3 times to make sure everything was going without a hitch. The manager of the installers also came by to check on the job. He returned later that day when everyone was gone and inspected the jobsite again. Not one branch on any shrubbery was broken and clean up was perfect. I highly recommend Republic Roofing to anyone needing a roof repaired or replaced. They have been in business over 50 years and I can definitely see why. Great company and employees

My insurance company was reluctant. Hail damage. Since my attic showing no leakage five months ago,…read moreso...nothing, right? Then, squirrels made a small hole. I asked Fitzgerald to repair it. He told me of the hail damage. The insurer sent an assessor. Yes. Hail damage on our four roofs. But they said I only had two weeks left after the five month claim period. I went hour to hour demanding they give me the time. I felt their claimed their coverage was their own money. Not what we had paid 35 years for. Fitzgerald supported me and my claim and also squeezed me into their schedule. And over two days, and at times, ten roofers, they repaired my roofs to the extent my neighbors wanted to know who did such a beautiful job. Fitzgerald cares about customers...I can attest to their care and abilities. Go to them and...get covered!

The company is extraordinarily responsive and takes a lot of initiative to check in even if you haven't called to see if you are happy with their work. We've had multiple neighbors walk by and note what an amazing job they did and ask for their name, etc., The roofers were careful, considerate, and even bought Girl Scout cookies from us (I might have thrown in an extra box to show my gratitude!) Great experience from start to finish.

In essence, Renaissance does high quality work but they are a complete sales-based slimey business…read more It is money grab at every opportunity and prices are inflatated to the absolute max; tricky language is used; questionable communication tactics are implemented; and "passed on" costs like dumpsters and porta potties are at least doubled. They rely heavily on change orders, and even though I knew this and begged them to bid it correctly, they still supplied change orders for things that were obvious. They also will refuse to provide your insurance company any supporting documentation for their costs if you have a claim you are trying to get reimbursement for. They are able to charge this because they do a lot of insurance work and perhaps their typical clientele do not pay any attention. At some point Renaissance was advised how to maximize profit like a used car dealership and they implemented every option. I had issue after issue with them and used my own subs for carpentry, masonry and painting. Even that caused problems. In the end, it's all smoke and mirrors and sales tactics. The laborers are working extremely hard and someone at the top is making big bank (e.g., a $350 dumpster invoice was line item'd at $900, which the dumpster company managed entirely). I wish I had not supported this entity (to the tune of about $100,000), feeling "had" the whole time, but was in too deep. Never again.
