We bought a sprawling vintage former bed and breakfast with a very high, very complicated roof. It has a 20 ft octagonal skylight in the center, 4 "witch's hats", and is multi-level. Having been a foreclosure, we weren't surprised when we spotted leaks during storms.
After over a year of contacting and soliciting roofers to take on our job, (the majority of which never even returned calls or submitted an estimate), we happened on MO SHINGLES. They had outstanding reviews but their website indicated they didn't service our area. Still, with a hilarious name like that, I couldnt resist contacting Old "Mo!"
The owner, Andy, responded to our online inquiry within hours, and drove the distance to view our roof the very next day. He impressed us tremendously with his experience and frank understanding of the unique issues required to make our new roof both beautiful and one that would outlast us! My husband is a construction engineer, so he is picky, skeptical and not easy to satisfy!
We were pleased with the quote we received from Mo Shingles. It wasn't a bargain-basement el-cheapo quote, but was extremely reasonable and more than fair considering but all the added special touches and premium quality material we received. We realized, with the materials that were quoted, that Andy thoroughly understood our goals and we were completely delighted.
The crew was professional, clean and super courteous and friendly. (Amazingly-- none of the crew smoked on our property! We really appreciated having a group of non-smokers!) The job was enormous and took 5-6 guys daily for 5 days to complete. They cleaned up thoroughly at the end of each day and took extra care to ensure the wind never blew any debris around. They have an onsite dump truck to haul trash off as needed.
They discovered a number of issues with our old roof and fixed everything professionally as they went along. The finished roof is absolutely a work of art- so gorgeous, and compliments the architecture perfectly. They incorporated special touches to unify the design from one section to another, and took special care to make the roof extremely strong against the harsh winds and storms we see. They also added new roof vents where none had previously existed.
MO SHINGLES is, without question, the most competent, skilled and customer-service oriented contractor we have found in East Tennessee. The owner is very bright, with years of experience in a variety of climate regions of the US. He is highly respected by his crew who describe him as "the most honest guy they know."
WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND MO SHINGLES. We feel we received excellent service, a spectacular roof, and competent repairs of hidden damage-- all at a reasonable fair price. We believe the new roof added so much beauty to our home that it probably increased the value of our property. This is the mark of a true professional-- when the value they add is greater than the cost. We couldnt be happier. read more
