Need better communication especially leading up to the work day.
It was a quick process! Darius was always available to answer any questions we had. Additionally, the team that worked on the roof were quick and cleaned up any mess and nails in the yard.
The sales person, Mark, was transparent and knowledgeable. I met with several other roofers/salesman and Charm City Roofing/Mark was the only one that seemed to work with me to find a reasonable option and approach. Everyone else just tries to tell you "this is the only way to do XYZ and all other approaches will not work so we will not even try". Mark actually understood that one of our issues was not obvious, gave us some reasonable options, and even explained how we could fix some things on our own that wasn't directly related to the roof work. Mark is the reason I went with them but the work and fair price make it an easy recommendation after the fact.
See comments below.
There were multiple issues with the work. First, it rained during the install and water was coming through my ceiling in multiple locations. Water spots occurred in the ceiling where leaks occurred. A seam at the skylight was loose and caused a leak inside. Interior damage occurred at this location. A condensate line for the rooftop AC until was cut and sealed inside the roof by the workers. The line pumped water into the ceiling for multiple days until it was able to be fixed. CCR had to do interior repairs where water damage occurred.
Ultimately it took almost a month to have a leak free roof from the date of install. I had many more ceiling leaks during that time then I had with my original roof.
Mark Tanner showed up for the appraisal appointment on time and communicate was professional. He made the process easy to understand the pricing was upfront. It was nice to get the estimate without waiting. I was impressed by the pricing which seemed very fair. The written estimate was what he said it was going to be. He was hopeful that he could get enough people on the job and it was done in one day.
The installers that they used were professional and respectful of the property. The job was done in one day except for some material that was not delivered. But it was done in a day or so after that without any issue.
I feel the communication and basic honesty was the best part of dealing with charm city roofing. The 15 year guarantee and other reviews were a plus and choosing them.
I was impressed with the thoroughness of the inspection; how the inspector discovered issues with the roof that were unexpected.
