It's been some time since I have found a good and dependable roofing company. I called several roofing contractors that I researched. Some of them didn't even bother to call me back and this isn't even the rainy season yet. That was disappointing because some of them had good ratings on this site. I received 3 different bids on my job. One estimator kept saying that it was going to be a very difficult job and was rather over dramatic about the situation. I believe that he was doing this to generate a higher estimate. The other company was telling me all the steps that he was going to go through to make a comparison with other companies. Jesus, the Owner for C Plus Roofing, came out and gave me the straight scoop on what needed to be done without all the fanfare. He gave me a very reasonable bid for the job. I checked into the company's license and it came back good. Jacky was very prompt in answering any questions I had concerning this job.
They promptly went to work on the area breaking down the old roof to clear the area for the new material. This was a somewhat complicated job as the old roof consisted of foam, tar, concrete and reinforcing fence type wire, plus a metal liner that was all rusted out. This area was also space restricted in a lightwell which made things even tougher. I was impressed with the jovial attitude that these workers used to accomplish this job. You could tell that the men enjoyed what they were doing and they are very hard working individuals. It was backbreaking work to strip the area of the original roof that went back to when the house was built back in the 1960's. The concrete was the old aggregate type they used in sidewalks in decades past. It was really hard to break up. They did it with a smile. I was very impressed.
After they got the old material broken and taken away, there were gaps in the wooded base of the lightwell. Jacky carved some perfect pieces to fit the voided areas and fitted the drain perfectly. Wow, it was a masterpiece of a job! After that, they started attaching the underlayment and torched on the membrane. They did a very thorough flashing of the area to insure the water wouldn't leak in. I was extremely satisfied with the job they did.
I would highly recommend C Plus Roofing for any roofing job you have! I will keep them at the top of my list if I need any future roofing work. Reasonable prices, friendly employees, and excellent communication are hallmarks of this company and this one deserves your business.
