Paplow Roofing and Seamless Gutters

Seamless it was a wonderful working with Paplow. Always checking on crew. Highly recommend!!

It went really well. It was great. He came out and saw the problem. He ordered the shingles because I had a special color that I wanted. He called and scheduled it within three days. This is third roof that he did for me.

Great job. On site on time. I gave them short notice and they jumped all over it. Work was performed at at Exceptional quality level, cleanup was amazing and they protected the finishes and Invaluables around my house while I were roofing. Super impressed highly recommended

Had high winds lift some shingles on my lake home. He was out there the next day to assess the damage. Life of the roof was over so had him tear off, re shingle and had to increase ventilation in attic. It was done in one day and there was no debris including roofing nails. Was very pleased.

Professionalism, punctuality, courteous, and they did an awesome job quickly and you cannot tell that they had to tear off 2 roofs. They cleaned the place up. I would recommend Paplow Roofing to my friends and family.

Very pleased with the professionalism of the owner and the installers.  Responded quickly to my message, visited the job site and provided a quote the same day.  Work completed the following day in a timely and efficient manner.  All scraps and/or debris were completely removed and work area was the same as before they started. <br />

The installers were very professional. A few weeks after installation we thought there was a problem when water was  overflowing the gutter. Birds built nests in the gutter and plugged the drain! Only regret was not getting covers on the gutters! <br /> <br />

These people are crooks.  They completed the job in record time, but the truck that delivered the shingles crushed a section of our driveway.  Written on the receipt we received after paying Dave Paplow his $8,100 were the words "Broken Concrete will be repaired in next 2 weeks or spring."  It wasn't repaired in 2 weeks.  This spring, when my husband tried to schedule the repair, they kept putting him off.  Eventually, when they heard his name, they just hung up on him.  Our attorney sent them a demand letter - which they ignored.  <br /> Fast forward to October 2012.  We are having our home resided (with another company) and they have found that Paplow Roofing didn't repair the rotted wood on our roof, but instead just nailed the shingles to the rotted wood so that the nails are unable to hold the shingles in place.  They also didn't properly install flashing around the chimney and roof lines as would be appropriate.  We are lucky that we had such a dry summer - otherwise we would have had a huge mess on our hands.  Instead, only minor water damage was found when the old siding was removed.  This is being repaired now by the siding company we are using. <br /> Let me repeat.  These people are crooks.  Do not use them under any circumstances. <br />

Existing gutters on the 1920s house we'd just bought had been recently, but poorly, installed -- pitched in the wrong direction, hung well below the roof line, inadequate downspouts, twisted or crushed screens, etc. Dave Paplow came out to assess the situation and estimate needed repairs. We already had three other estimates in hand, but the wide variation in the scope of work recommended by different contractors was exasperating, and none had so far inspired confidence in their professionalism. Dave made just the opposite impression. After inspecting our existing gutters, he took the time to listen to our concerns and to answer our (many) questions about the various options we'd been presented. While rejecting the need for some repairs that he considered unnecessary, he made it clear that there was no cheap solution. We could muddle along for a while, he said, by addressing a few of the most severe problems. But from the point of view of aesthetics as well as long-term maintenance, it really made more sense to just replace everything, add a solid gutter screen, and be done with it. And that's what we agreed on for a price that seemed fair. (Dave, I should add, also picked the gutter color for us. Without so much as blinking an eye, Dave hit on the solution that had evaded us for weeks: brown. Of course ! Perfect. Why couldn't we have seen that before?) Anyway, that was on a Tuesday. Come Friday morning, there was a crew of 4 on the scene, led by Dave's son. And by the time we got home from work that afternoon, the job was all but wrapped up. The crew had taken the initiative to to do some custom fixes that hadn't been anticipated -- no extra charge -- which was a welcome surprise. And the house just looked great! I'm also pleased to report that after the worst Iowa winter in a century or more, with heavy ice piled on top of all the guttering for three solid months, not an inch of the new system failed. All around, a solid performance!

HORRIBLE! When our new house needed a roof we called him immediately and got a reasonable price quote. A week later he showed up with a crew of at least 10 Mexicans most of which did not speak English. The roof was done in half a day and looked decent, but the yard was full of debris (nails, plastic, etc.) I picked up the mess and figured at least the roof was done. A week later it rained and the roof leaked. I called Paplow and a couple days later he came out to look at the roof and told me he fixed the problem. Another couple of days went by and it rained again, HARD this time and not only did the roof leak in the same place as before, it leaked in two other places. I called him again and he said he would come fix it but never showed up. After several calls and missed appointments he finally stopped answering his phone when I called and never showed up again.
