The day before the roof job began the rep texted to confirm the name of the shingle we'd agreed on. The next morning shingles were delivered. Then on a Sunday the shingles were being put on and I discovered they were the wrong brand. I had made the mistake of thinking they were supposed to be a different color so that was when I noticed the mistake.

I called the rep and asked what they recommended we do - finish the job and possibly reroof or stop and wait a day leaving things exposed. He suggested to move forward and finish. Once we all discovered that the shingles we had agreed on had actually been out of stock for months and they had just used a similar brand and color I thought a 5-10% discount for the stress and miscommunication would be in order.

Instead I got told I was being unreasonable and over reacting. When we got pressured to pay the bill I asked to talk to the owner. I got one passing "I'm sorry" but was again treated as if I was unreasonable and dishonest by asking for a token of monetary acknowledgment for the poor communication. I think any business that takes my deposit months in advance to "secure supplies" should have the decency to own their mistakes with more than a begged for verbal apology.

In getting even that he pointed out how I ruined his fourth of July vacation. I guess he assumed I enjoyed spending my vacation asking for that apology making sure he got his check before the grace window? Oh and we went with them because they "specialize in old homes". No they just charge more. There was nothing special about their crew that didn't speak English - I needed to call someone to help translate to tell them to stop when I found they were using the wrong shingle. But other than that bad service I guess the roof looks fine. They had the decency to take a metal detector around the yard when they were done.

We called for a bid to redo the drip edge on our older home. We saw from another reviewer that they had worked with older homes, which essential for working our 1907 house. (We've found that some companies just don't have the skills to work on them and when they do, it's bad work.) Glade was very knowledgeable and helpful and finally we decided that we didn't need to get it redone. We really appreciated the honesty. We will call them again without hesitation.

WOW - Shaw Roofing to the rescue. They removed a 116 years of roofing off my two-story house, shimmed and redecked the entire roof and then reroofed with new shingles. This was a big job and they handled it well. They used the best, state of the art materials. They were organized, professional, comminicated well and I couldn't give them a better recommendation. Thanks Shaw Roofing!

These guys do TOP QUALITY roofing, start to finish! Once they got here and bid my job, they didn't insist that a portion of my roof all had to be done at once (several other guys tried to con me into that!). They said that part was fine, and concentrated on the part that wasn't fine. I got a great price, quick start, and the prep and care of my home and grounds was outstanding. Cleanup was amazing.

They corrected some issues on my chimney flashing, too, and stopped all the leaks in my 32 year old roof! Just a really good crew in all aspects! I can recommend them without hesitation. Thanks, Shaw team. You guys are the best!

So it was 32 years ago that I last replaced the roof on my house and I decided to NOT wait until I had a roof leak to do it. The way I proceeded was to ask friends and colleagues who recently had their roof replaced for referrals. (No sense wasting time calling for estimates from companies that advertise on TV if no one I know has used them). I narrowed it down to three companies that got positive comments and asked for estimates. Interestingly, Shaw Roofing's name came up more than once from different people whose opinions I respect.

I went thru meeting with the estimators, hearing their sales pitches and putting the bids side-by-side. One was clearly a low-ball estimate that was so much below the other two that it made me uncomfortable. I figured given the importance of a roof and the fact I am planning on living here another 30 years, paying more for quality was a worth-while investment.

As a side-note, I watched my office manager go through getting a new roof two years ago with a company I will not name and her experience was hellish. I learned some critical things to avoid when it came time for my re-roofing. Here is my findings and why I picked Shaw Roofing: - the crews they use had been with them for years; that told me they treat their workers fairly and they truly seemed happy (this is hot, hard work and they were impressive) - I asked if I should upgrade my single pick and rather than upselling me, they asked good questions about how long I would live in the house, what I wanted in the roof 'look', etc. Abe the owner recommended I stick with their basic recommendation (which was a lot less $$).

I appreciated that honesty. - After they stripped off the old shingles, we discovered I did not have plywood underneath - and that was an unexpected surprise and expense. But Jay my estimator called, told me the bad news and here is the silver lining - they included up-front in the quote the square foot cost IF replacement was necessary. I looked at the other two companies bids and determined they would have added a lot more than Shaw!

In summary, my experience with Shaw was great in every respect. They were beyond professional, their crews did a fantastic job keeping my place clean during the removal process (I have three dogs and don't need old roofing nails laying about) and at the completion. They even came back to do a walk around with me and make sure I was satisfied. The bottom-line for me was quality of work, quality of their installers and the quality of the roofing product they use.

The fact that you get to talk directly to the owner was also a plus and ease of communication with Jay the estimator made it even better. I could have gotten the roof replaced by a cheaper bid but when I factor in how smoothly it went and how good the clean-up was, Shaw was worth every penny. Jerry

They did respond quickly so that's definitely a plus. His response was to call him which I did. He told me he had some places in the area they were going to do roofing for and that he would call me back. This was a week ago. I wasn't told when I would get a call back, but a week in my opinion is plenty considering it's raining a lot and the leak isn't closing itself. It seems like they are disorganized. The service is friendly other than no responses and leaving me hanging.

We had Shaw Roofing replace our very old roof and I am thoroughly impressed with the company overall. Abe Shaw returned our phone calls quickly, answered all of our questions and explained all of our options. The crew showed up on time, worked hard and left our yard in good condition. They cleaned up after themselves so we did not have to come home to a messy yard every day.

Our roof is now in excellent condition, they did an amazing job! We have already recommended Shaw Roofing to friends and family and we will continue to do so with confidence. A+ job, you can't go wrong with Shaw roofing.

Loved working with Abe and Glade, and their AMAZING team! These guys worked so hard, yet effeciently. Most impressive was their ability to do things on the 'fly'.they didn't get flustered when we changed direction or added an extra task. Always thorough with their clean up each day, and very careful work on our very old home. I'd recommend them to anyone.

In the process of selling my home we discovered we needed a new roof. In a time crunch, I called several companies, many didn't return my call or even stood us up. Jay was incredibly responsive and understood our situation and worked with us from beginning to end. Excellent communication and customer service. Jay's employees were just as friendly and hard working as Jay. I will always refer Shaw Roofing and will call them for any future issues in my new home.

Shaw Roofing tore off three layers of old shingles (including old cedar shakes) on our historic home that was built in 1890. We selected Shaw Roofing because they are very experienced with old homes and with doing complete tear-offs (especially in the Avenues). Benefits of working with Shaw 1. Their bid was VERY competitive (it was the second lowest bid that we received from 6 different roofers). 2.

The entire process, start to finish, required 3.5 days - we were very pleased with how quickly the crew worked and that the process was not extended. 3. The crew did not damage our plants - this was an amazing feat given that our yard is completely xeriscaped! 4. The crew quickly problem solved issues they encountered when they tore off the old roof (some molding that was rotten and needed to be replaced and some of the chimneys required some patching) 5.

Most importantly, when we encountered an electrical issues that was associated with the removal of an old fan in the attic, they resolved it VERY quickly. Abe came out to inspect the issue and called an electrician who was able to quickly diagnose and solve the problem. We really appreciated that. The new roof looks beautiful! In short, we are VERY happy with our experience with Shaw Roofing and would highly recommend them.

From the minute we contacted Shaw roofing we knew we were in very capable hands. We had several bids but just had a better feeling about the bid and information we received from Shaw up front. We've had a lot of rain this Spring and our job's start date was delayed by only a few days. They completed the job very quickly including some structural repairs that had to be done on one of the hips (which raised the overall price a very modest amount).

The crew was excellent, efficient and cleaned up everything each day - and there was a lot of work we had over 4 layers on our roof - it was a mess. Our project manager stopped by daily and the owner of the company came by several times to make sure everything was going well and to consult with his crew on the structural repairs. The roof looks great; I highly recommend Shaw Roofing!

I recently selected Shaw Roofing to replace a traditional shingle and membrane roof that had not seen any significant improvements or upkeep since the house was remodeled in 1951. As an absentee landlord, I was concerned that it would be easy for a contractor to find excuses to pad the initial quote or add in unforeseen expenses along the way. The project was completed ahead of schedule and with no significant breaks from the contracted amount (despite some unanticipated complications due to long-term leaking and decay).

I had offered to put my tenants up in a hotel for the duration, but they reported that Shaw's crew was quick, courteous, unobtrusive, and left no mess behind, so that saved me a few bucks too. These guys get my highest recommendation.
