"I replaced my old asphalt roof with new asphalt shingles. I didn't have any leaks, just worn out shingles. I live in a neighborhood that allows me to choose any roof I want. My salesman, Duane, was great! He showed me lots of samples and left me brochures to look at and compare - asphalt vs metal. After looking at them, I had more questions, so Duane came back with even more samples and brochures. I wanted to choose carefully, so I also researched online, and spoke with my insurance agent about available discounts. Duane was kind enough to get me in to see the shingle distributors so I could see even more samples and ask more questions. I saw a house with shingles I liked, and Duane even went there and found out exactly which shingle it was. Ultimately, I chose an asphalt shingle with the highest wind rating and highest impact rating. If I avoid even one hail damage claim, not paying an insurance deductible will more than cover the extra cost of my highly rated shingles.

Duane was extremely patient throughout the sales process, which took me about 6 weeks. He always answered my calls, or called me back quickly if I left a message. He was probably at my house 5-6 times though my selecting process. Once I finally chose a shingle, I put it out to a couple of reputable roofers to quote. It was really close, but Duane came back with the best price, so he not only worked hard at making the sale, he worked hard at giving me the best possible price.

His quote was clear and straightforward, which I very much appreciated. Even though I had a couple of companies quoting the exact same shingle, the quotes were very different. Other companies still offered a choice of underlayment or ridge shingles. Duane just quoted me exactly what I needed for the whole warranted system, so I didn't have to do any further research.

The shingles and supplies took just over a week, as I chose a shingle that was not in stock. Supplies and crew arrived on the scheduled day just before 7am, and well before 8am I had six guys working on the roof with a supervisor on the ground. The crew worked very efficiently. The crew supervisor spoke English, and was approachable and friendly. He readily addressed any concerns I had.

My decking did not have to be replaced, but some rotted facia and other wood did have to be replaced (under the gutters and drip edge), which they did quickly and professionally. They gave me the price before they did the work, and I felt the price was reasonable - they didn't price gouge me just because the work had to be done immediately. They went to the closest lumber company and bought what I requested - hardiplank to replace the rotted parts. My breezeway ceiling had one small area of cedar lap and gap that had to be replaced, and they matched it up almost perfectly. They hauled away the old wood and gutters along with the roofing debris.

I also replaced my gutters and downspouts, but did not use Weatherguard for that, as I was able to beat Weatherguard's quoted price using a seamless gutter company.

Weatherguard's roofing crew was great! Everyone worked every minute they were here, with the exception of a reasonable lunch break. It was like a baseball team, where everyone knew their position and covered it with minimal talking and just a few hand signals. They worked like a well-oiled machine. They finished just after 8pm, so it was a 13+ hour day. Considering how dark it was when they finished, they did an amazingly good job cleaning up. I found only a couple of handfuls of roofing debris on the ground, and fewer than 10 nails. They did a good job protecting landscaping as well. They put new vent pipes on the roof and painted them a complementary color, so they seem almost invisible.

A few days after the roof was installed, I noticed one very small area on the ridge vent that seemed loose. I called, and Duane and the supervisor came to check it out and make it right. It was minor - a nail had popped - probably due to my house settling a bit under the new weight of the roof.

Weatherguard registered my new roof with the shingle manufacturer, and I received my warranty paperwork in reasonable time. The warranty is transferable to the next owner, which was important to me.

The only reason I rated a B for quality was because they didn't protect the stove hood duct. As a result, a fair amount of roofing debris entered that duct and was laying on top of my microhood, which has a fan built into the top of it. The microhood is fairly new, and the day after getting the roof, it stopped working. Turns out the fan was jammed with roofing debris. I called a handyman, who came and removed the duct over the microhood and cleaned out all the roofing debris. After he did that, the fan was able to turn so the microhood worked again. I feel this was preventable had the duct been protected throughout the roofing process.

A fair amount of roofing debris enters the attic and open ducts during the roofing process. I would suggest people cover their attic floor and insulation with cheap plastic tarp if they will be bothered by the leftover bits of roofing debris and sawdust (and all the knocked off mud dauber nests!) laying on top of their insulation and attic floor. Without laying plastic tarp first, there is no way to clean that stuff up later. And I would suggest specifically requesting roofers protect any ducts attached to fans to prevent debris from entering.

One other thing that happened was a couple of my A/C ducts fell from all the banging and vibration. This was a result of the way the ducts were installed 45 years ago. So I called my A/C company to come and repair the ducts. This was not Weatherguard's fault, but I want to include it in my story so people reading this can know some of the collateral damage that might happen as a result of getting a new roof. You might also want to take down precious hanging pictures or items on shelves before roofing begins. My pictures didn't fall, but I did have to go around and level them again after getting the roof.

Getting a new roof is major construction. It's noisy and messy for a day or two - there's no way around that. Weatherguard did a reasonable job to make it as quiet, clean, and pleasant as it can be.

Now, two months after my new roof was installed, I can say I've picked up very little additional debris or nails, and everything is looking really good. I paid extra to have the shingles nailed to the highest wind rating, and I feel confident going into this hurricane season that my roof will come through just fine. I highly recommend Weatherguard and would absolutely hire them again!"
