Rabbit Roofing was fantastic! Exceeded all my expectations at a reasonable cost. Highly recommended. Not the lowest or highest estimate I got, but they had great reviews. I had read and heard lots of horror stories about roofing jobs gone bad so I wanted a reliable company and Rabbit Roofing did not disappoint.
My existing roof was a second layer put on over 25 years ago and it was starting to show its age. The underlying plywood was soft in many spots and there were some small leaks in the garage during heavy rainstorms.
When Alex came by to check out the roof we had a long talk about what needed to be done and how much it would cost. The price he quoted was not the lowest bid but still reasonable and I was more concerned about workmanship than saving a few dollars. There was no hard sell and I really had a good feeling about Rabbit Roofing and was encouraged by all the great reviews. One thing the really impressed me was that Alex did not ask for any money up front even though he had to cover the cost of the materials. He trusted me to pay the entire cost when the job was done, which I did.
Dealing with Alex was a pleasure. He was very responsive to all my messages.
The crew arrived exactly on time, 7:30 AM. The weather was very hot but no rain. I felt sorry for those guys working in that heat. The crew of 6 men were able to finish the job in one day (almost 12 hours) and Alex was there supervising for almost the entire time.
The first thing they did was drape a fine net around the entire house to protect everything on the ground near the house. Then they carefully moved everything off my deck and patio. When they were done putting on the new roof they put everything back exactly the way it was. The cleanup was perfect! Not an easy task since my driveway is gravel. They swept the entire grounds with large magnets to pick up any stray nails. So far I have not found any that they missed.
One of the things I wanted was copper flashing (extra cost) around the base of the chimney and I wanted it put on straight and not stepped just to make it a little different from most of the houses on my block. You can see from the photo that it looks really nice.
Turns out that my roof was in much worse shape than I thought. They had to replace 19 pieces of plywood so this job was long overdue. Alex took photos of the entire process from start to finish. Heavy rain is expected for the next couple of days and I'm looking forward to not seeing any leaks.
A perfect job; can't ask for more than that and I will certainly recommend Rabbit Roofing to anyone who needs a new roof. Thank you Alex and crew for an outstanding job. read more
