I agree that they did a great job with my roof and at a reasonable price. I was very happy after the installation. A big problem with this company, however, is that once your roof is installed, they don't answer phone calls or emails to come for repairs. They agreed to a repair and never kept their word to come after a year. If you're ok with never getting them to assess your roof once it's put on, I highly recommend them.

Really pleased with my new roof from Shook Contracting. The job was completed on time and they quoted me the best price after getting estimates from ten contractors. It was a big job and I was anxious to begin, but I didn't need to worry at all. The job was done so well and I'm really happy with how it looks and the value it has added to my home!

We have duplexes and apartment buildings. Old Dad Shook has replaced a roof on a duplex building for us last year at a really fair and competitive price! The guys do great work! Just had a roof repair due to the storms and their emergency price has not changed in 20 years! I am not exaggerating. Being a commercial customer and we still get the great pricing of a home owner! These guys don't play around and waste time.

They do the job fast and right! I wouldn't go to another roofer ever! They have had the same employees for over 15 years. Some longer. That tells you what a good company it is when it retain the workers. Emergency repairs; whole roofs; slate roofs; gutters and downspouts and so much more. Never happy having roofing issues, but always know who I can count on for a great job done professionally at a good price!

Called and emailed about a problem. I received a poorly written email response from a Gmail with the name "shook" in it. Upon my reply for clarification as to when exactly they were going to come out and see the problem I received a more menacing email in all caps with a specific day. I replied in confirmation, that day came and went, I have never heard anything back since. Can't imagine what the work quality is if they get angry at the sheer idea of showing up to talk about it.

Had Old Dad Shook repair some damage to my roof that was created by city workers. They came out early on a decent day in January and finished everything up by 2PM. Nice looking work, and better yet no more leaks. The work was done 5 months ago and we have had absolutely zero problems. Pretty decent price too!
