Several months ago I was saddled with the responsibility of replacing the failed roof on my mother’s home. The house has a uniquely shaped, large roof with many challenging angles. The last roof was installed by a well known local roofing contractor who did a poor job and ultimately refused to stand behind the inadequate workmanship in the years after his company completed the job. That company was not invited back to bid the new roof.
I reached out to ten roofing contractors and only received seven bids to replace the failed roof. Not all roofing contractors returned my phone calls. I was mildly pleased by the interaction with a few contractors, and not impressed by most. The bids varied from ridiculously high to unbelievably low. Not all “contractors” we’re eager to provide proof of Worker’s Comp insurance and some became evasive when asked about it. I also determined that the project would be completed using the highest quality thick composition shingle available. Several contractors did not like my choice of shingle and asserted that they preferred a different brand of thinner shingle as it was easier to work with and “just as good.” 😂
When it came down to making the decision, I went with a highly rated, five star local company, Richard Hockett Roofing (RHR). Richard came to our job site, listened to me, walked the roof, assessed the scope of the project and made reasonable recommendations to improve the roof. Ultimately I was convinced that RHR would provide the best finished product, for a fair price and that I would be highly pleased.
Of the seven bids I received, RHR provided the most detailed and professional bid package. All of my questions were answered. During the selection process, I was advised by our pest work contractor that he preferred to work with Richard because “he cares about getting the job done right.”
The RHR roofing team, Kolby, Austin, Mike, Scott and Ginger genuinely did an excellent job! The roofers were punctual, polite, professional and clean. They consistently worked as a team. I didn’t see people on their phones or wasting time. During the project there was a necessary change order regarding flashing and dry rot. The work was explained in detail and to my satisfaction and quickly completed. Ginger assisted from the office with explaining payments. The roof was completed in three days and I could not be happier with the finished product. RHR gets an A+, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ rating from me.
Sure, this is a long winded review and I do not write many, but RHR deserved it.
