"He and his crew removed the old roof and installed a new one. Due to the harsh environment (high winds, salt air) extra stainless steel nails were used. Phil took time to explain coastal roofing challenges and used pictures of our roof to show us the existing condition. Workers were safe and polite. Work area was left in good order each day; project was completed promptly and looks great. After a big wind and lots of rain, gutters drain well and the roof is secure and well sealed. I would like to emphasize the importance of using a roofer who is familiar with coastal conditions. Our previous roof tiles were in good condition, but the wrong nails were used and therefore deteriorated prematurely."

"The work went as expected. I contacted them via their website and they promptly emailed me with a quote (the same price as last year). The work was scheduled about a week later. The service person showed up a little late due to traffic but the work was done in about an hour. Everything was cleaned up on the ground as well. He also blow loose debris off the roof."

"They had been out the previous years to do patch work on our roof and were always punctual and thorough. So when it came time for a new roof we got a quote from two companies, one out of Portland and one from Brown's in The Dalles. They were very close in price so we went with our local guys and so glad we did. We knew if there were any problems they could be out right away. They did a great job with the roof and cleanup and were right on time. Now we have a beautiful roof with a 10 year guarantee on workmanship and 30 year on the roof"

"Our roofing job was finished quickly with skill and excellent quality. Bid was very affordable and workers were very friendly. Very satisfied with the job done. <br />"

"Ernie Haas provided a very thorough examination of our roof which enabled us (after much back and forth with our roofer (DCF Contracting)) to ensure that all necessary and required repairs were made to our roof. Mr. Haas stayed in contact with us for more than a month to ensure that any questions or issues we had were addressed."

"Outstanding from the first call to the office to the completion of the job onsite. <br /> Jeffery at River Roofing saved me several thousand dollars by referring an inquiry regarding two new full skylights to a local glazer he trusted who was able to just replace the glass. To be clear, he could have just accepted my request to replace the skylight, but instead considered the best and least expensive way to get the job done. Although they didn't do the skylight glass, I used the glazer they referred me to and the work was excellent and cost effective. <br /> The work on removing the old solar hot water unit required RR subcontracting a crane and removal truck (it was a big unit) - they handled everything and stayed within their estimate. <br /> The maintenance items on the existing roof was top notch. <br /> After the work was completed, I asked about the viability of the roof and was encouraged that, while the powder coat or anodizing was showing some age, the roof was sound. No attempt to upsell me additional services. <br /> I really liked working with these folks and would go to them again for any roofing needs. I think they do great work with high integrity. <br /> BTW, this work was all done four stories up (three story house). <br />"

"We pretty much knew we wanted to hire the crew at Agate Beach Building as soon as we started talking to owner Bob Hein about the new roof and repairs needed on the family's 80-year-old beach cottage. We collected 4 written bids for the work (2 others promised bids and never delivered). Agate Beach's quote for the roof was essentially the same price as  2 of the other 3 bids, but included much more detail about what would be done to remedy attic bird intrusion, how adequate ventilation would be provided given the conversion from cedar shake roof to asphalt shingle, and materials and techniques that would be used. The roof work was a typical fixed-price bid, but dry rot repairs were based on time and materials because the extent of damage under the floor and behind the walls of the porch was unknown. In the end, the total cost was slightly less than Bob's estimate of what total costs would run, despite the fact we had added 2 more items to the work order. Granted, this was due in part to the fact the hidden damage was less extensive than Bob feared it might be, but given some of our conversations with other contractors, I'd have to say his assessment of the work that would be required was the most accurate. <br /> Bob told us his experience included time working for a roofing manufacturer on warranty claims, which gave him a lot of first-hand knowledge about all the installation mistakes that can negatively affect the performance of a roof over time. We liked the fact that Bob personally works on the job -- doesn't just turn it over to employees -- but also that he works with a crew of about 5 guys, so the job goes much quicker than it would with someone working alone or with only one other person. Another thing I appreciated was Bob's ability to know what really needs fixing and what can be left alone. We had one contractor tell us, as part of his bid, that all siding needed to be replaced and underlying rot issues addressed at a cost of approximately $15,000 over and above the cost of a new roof. Bob concluded there was no rot under the siding that needed attention, and that replacement of siding in several areas, at a cost of several hundred dollars, would suffice when combined with a good caulking and painting job next season. In other words, we got the sense that Bob has a good feel for what is needed and what is not, that he will NOT "pad" the job with unnecessary work, but won't cut corners either. At some point we will need to replace framing around a couple of our windows where there is some decay, but elected not to do that work now because it would have added significant costs to the job. Bob supported that decision, telling us it was something that could be done at some time in the future without putting us as risk of a much bigger problem. <br /> The roof and repairs look good. The job was done in a little more than a week with everything cleaned up and hauled away. So we're quite happy with the work. <br />"

"The quality of the roof job was excellent and was done on time.  The crew worked diligently and long hours to complete the job promptly.  They were friendly, respectful, and cleaned up well after the job was done. <br> <br>The problems we had with this company preceded the completion of the job. The first bid we had from Timber Home Improvements was about $30,000, but if we signed up on this first presentation we could get the job for about $26,000.  We signed up, which was my error.  Another bid that came in a couple days later offered the job at about $18,500.  This was from another reputable company that had done several other homes in our area.  Anyway, too late to change because Timber Home Improvements said they would charge us 30% of $26,000 to back out of the contract. My mistake. <br> <br>The only other problem was that, when they were about 1/4 done with the install, a neighbor (who does construction work) noticed the wrapping material was not the correct type that is required for the neighborhood - and not the correct grade according to the contract we had signed. It was a lower grade and lower cost material than we had agreed to.  I brought this to the attention of the main office, who double-checked and agreed that was the case.  The lower grade material was removed and replaced correctly and promptly. <br> <br>All in all, a mixed review. I am happy with the work, but feel duped that I have paid too much.  Get at least two estimates is my advice."

"Rocket Construction replaced our shaker roof with a composite roof. We met with Matt and went through all of our choices and once we were ready to move forward they got us on the schedule. The crew that he sent to do the work was so friendly and hard working. We enjoyed chatting a bit with them each day. They worked diligently each day and got the job done quickly. They arrived promptly each morning and picked up each evening before heading out. Matt came by the day after everything was finished up to check the work himself and to see if we had any questions or concerns and to be sure we were satisfied. He is a genuinely nice guy who cares about his customer service. We would highly recommend them to others, and in fact already have! <br />"

"I was skeptical about the repair locatuion but waited for some subsequent heavy rains but no further leaks occurred and I <br /> have now repaired the ceiling damage. Dave was correct for which I grateful, especially for his prompt response <br /> when 2 other roofers refused to respond. I have contracted with his company for roof cleaning. <br />"
