Barbara W.

We hired Modern Renovations to replace our roof. The materials sat at our home for two weeks without anyone reaching out to us to schedule them to be installed. When we decided to finally reach out to them to see what the next plan of action was, the woman on the phone seemed like it was such a burden to schedule an appointment for me. The roof was finally installed a week later but shortly afterwards we noticed a few shingles flapping in the wind. We were unable to get ahold of anyone on the phone and was often left listening to "please leave a voicemail" so I decided to reach out via Facebook which also took some time to receive a response. When we did receive a response instead of the woman being apologetic she was defensive and actually said "well this is our busy season and we don't prefer communication via Facebook" maybe someone should ANSWER THE PHONE THEN! Even after all this we still supported them and referred them to other people and now we are really regretful of that. A few days ago we received a bill that said we owed them for the roof they put on over a year ago. When we called for clarification my husband left a voicemail and received a call shortly there after from someone who said they had an invoice issue and to call Monday and they would resolve it. Mind you the invoice had a handwritten note on it for us to call them immediately so obviously they saw this an investigated it before it went out. Luckily for us we paid with a check but we feel bad for the people who paid cash and didn't keep their receipts for over a year and also for the elderly who may not think twice about whether they paid it and will unknowingly cut this business another check for services they already paid for. To add insult to injury we ended up with a BAT INFESTATION due to a large hole left on the back of our house where the dormer roof met the other part of the roof. The hole was so big you could fit a soft ball through it. Imagine the horror of hearing 100s of bats scratching in your ceiling. I would never recommend this company to anyone not even my worst enemy.

If I could give zero stars I would! Modern Renovations, Martinsburg WV replaced my roof in 2019, I was sold on their warranty of workmanship and product. My painters noticed a leak in my upstairs bathroom. I called Modern Renovations to come out and inspect the roof, I suspected it may be faulty boots and flashing around my vent pipes. After many many phone calls and no-shows for scheduled appts a roofer from MR finally came out, Franklin. He went into my attic and said that it was not the roof and the leak was caused by another source. Franklin did not got onto my roof. I have had multiple contractors out tying to find the "other source" , I have spent thousands of dollars and countless hours trying to find the source of the leak. I hired a plumber to look at my pipes in the attic, had A.S.K. Heating HVAC replace ductwork in my attic, I had my attic re-insulated by Comfenergy and still the leak surfaced. One of the techs for the insulation noticed my vent pipe was allowing a lot of sun light in and said it was not normal. "If light can get in so can water" I contacted Modern Renovations once again and they finally said they would replace the boots and flashing. I had an appointment scheduled. On the day of my appointment I contacted and spoke to Franklin Cabrera, owner of MR who said he was sending a tech out to replace the boots and flashing. I took time off work and once again no one ever showed up to make the repair. This back and forth with Modern Renovation, Martinsburg WV has been ongoing with NO RESULTS. I contacted another roofing company HighPoint Roofing WV who performed a roof inspection and was able to confirm my suspicion of the boots and flashing being the issue. HighPoint provided a recommendation and I have contracted them to repair Modern Renovations shoddy work. I have reported Modern Renovation to the BBB and will be considering my legal options in suing them. This company is unprofessional and their work is questionable. I would STEER clear of this company for any work!

Would not recommend. Communication skills are sub par. Actual work seems fine but better options probably out there.

Not all roofing companies have your best interest in mind. As a matter of fact, some like High…read morePoint Roofing have proven they are more interested in getting a new roof and commission rather than an honest assessment of an existing roof. My house was on the market, and the buyer wanted a roof inspection and called High Point Roofing. I had no problem with the inspection and personally have over 40 years of construction experience. The report came back that there was one missing shingle, exposed nail heads on the ridge vent, rubber cracking on pipe vent, two popped nails on garage section, discoloration on front slop shingles and some granular loss as found in guttering (these repairs were simple and would take no more than one hour to repair). This 23-year-old roof expert concluded that the 30-year architectural shingle that was approximately 23 years old only had a "maximum of 1-2 Years Left of Life" and that the roof needed replaced (Notice the caps used to demand attention and generate fear). In all of my years of dealing with inspectors I have never had one offer such a precise life expectancy, only High Point Roofing. Needled to Say the Buyer wanted a new $20,000.00 roof at the Sellers expense. I'm perfectly fine with fixing problems when necessary and needed. In this case it was an egregious attempt to put on new roof that wasn't necessary. I called Antony Regalbuto one of the owners, about his inspector and report. He reported key problems that are often indicators of a roof in decline that an inspector would identify. He noted specifically that often such roofs have fiberglass exposed and bubbling shingles which can include moisture problems and/or poor ventilation in the attic. I agreed with him that both were indicators of a bad roof. I then asked Anthony, if his 23-year-old roof inspector identified in his report such failures and he was silent. He was silent because they didn't exist. In the end Anthony protected his employee. I'm sure Anthony will dispute my report and if so I have written documentation in hand to corroborate my statement. I also have a few billboards that I can offer caution and direct potential customers to another roofing company. I'm very disappointed with the High Point Roofing and a young man that tried for a big commission on my dime. I did not identify the young man intentionally as I hope he learns a lesson from this experience Clark Struebing

In a time where people are too busy for your small job and never show up when they say…read moreDamian Owens restored my faith in mankind Promptly showed up on time and was very kind and helpful with my leaking roof. I would highly recommend High Point Roofing
