Additional Comments - Great craftsmanship and service, overall 10 out of 10. Great crew and good work.
Have already recommended KLAM to anyone I know who owns a roof! This is the most positive experience I have ever had with a major home improvement project. I had "dreaded" having to replace my roof, but from the very first call with KLAM, their professionalism made it easy and enjoyable. Abel spent almost two hours assessing the situation, and explained in great detail what was needed. The communication was flawless (kudos Katie), the workmanship was outstanding (kudos Manuel), the hardworking crew made sure that every step of the process was professional. They kept the property spotless and corrected long-standing ventilation problems on my home, so the roof is now much better than new. I continue to be impressed by Abel, whose personal final inspection involved going up on the roof again and meticulously checking out every detail firsthand. This company is 100% a pleasure to do business with.
Contractor Knowledge - Not only knowledgeable but took the time to educate me about what was happening and how and why. So appreciated.
Professional & Organized - I would give them 10 stars on this if I could.
Communication - Katie is an excellent communicator and was on top of (or ahead of) every detail of the timing and scheduling. I never had to worry or wonder what was coming next, everything was beautifully communicated. Jairo does a great job launching and wrapping up the project - very friendly and helpful
Installation Crew - Loved having these wonderful men on my property, they were so courteous and unobtrusive, and working their hearts out!
Quality Of Materials - Abel explained a lot about materials to me and I am very happy with what I got.
Clean & Safe - Cleaned up every single night, carefully protected everything around the house, made me feel absolutely safe.
Thank you for the great work you did on my roof. I appreciate the thoroughness that KLAM's owner Abel gave on our initial visit and estimate, as well as when he came out to look over the job once it was completed by his crew. Also, despite the freezing temperatures in November when the work was done, the KLAM crew showed up early every morning with smiles on their faces and courteous attitudes. Phone interactions with the office staff were pleasant and on point regarding updates to the job. I would highly recommend KLAM.
Areas Of Satisfaction - I really appreciated that Abel took so much time with me explaining the process during the evaluation of my roof. It was just the right amount of information (not overload). I also appreciate that he came back out after the job was finished to look it over and touch base.
Recognized Excellence - Abel was great; I can remember the office staff person who called me a couple times about updates to the job - but she was very professional and pleasant. Also, the guys who showed up every morning. I mean temperatures were hovering around freezing at 7:30 am and the guys didn't look like they dreaded working that day. They had smiles and were very courteous when I was leaving for work.
Klam Construction did an amazing job with my roof. The old roof and structure was damaged due to a prior poor installation and they did a great job of getting the roof back to looking great and being leak free. Both the owner and crew were very professional and got the job done in challenging weather conditions (windy and really cold).
Areas Of Satisfaction - Communication and professional installation. The site was immaculate when they were done.
Recognized Excellence - All of the staff were great.
This is the second time I have been using Klam Construction for a roofing project. The first time they reroofed a small church, and this time my home. The owner, Able, is extremely knowledgeable about roofing and roofing materials, and he gave me valuable advice about how to improve my roof at home so that the attic will be ventilated better, cutting down on heating costs. The whole crew, from Katie, the office person, to the workers who did the actual work, felt very harmonious, responsive and friendly -- a reflection of Abel's integrity and caring attitude.
Areas Of Satisfaction - The estimate, the advice on improvement of my roof at home, and the thorough clean-up in the end.
Recognized Excellence - Katie Alley, the phone/email contact for her knowledge and fast responses.
I was concerned about the pricing/materials originally quoted. As the project was compared to other installers, pricing, details of the project, option for 10 - year or 50 -year warranty options, knowledge & teaching qualities of Abel; all of these aspects made it a much easier to choose moving forward & contracting with Klam.
Quality Of Workmanship - The team of installers, materials workers, staff & manager were excellent.
Recognized Excellence - Abel was terrific. He did a very good job outlining expected issues that might require special attention or extra costs to meet warranty requirements without outrageous extra add-on fees and being reasonable when changes to the contract work could have become required or confusing. Jairo, Carlos & Miguel did a fantastic on the roof work, paying attention to details, working as a team, discussing issues that came up & problem solving as needed.
Additional Comments - Lazaro & Milo did a great job of supporting the roofing crew with incidental supplies as well as getting the original materials to my home & up on the roof. Katie worked diligently to get appointments set, organized & samples to be delivered. She was gently focused on contracts & billing with a healthy humorous attitude. Thanks to all.
Getting a roof replaced is very expensive and stressful. We had to get ours replaced during the rainy season due to leaks. Out of all of the bids we received, we felt that KLAM provided the best product and service warranty for the money. They were also up front about which plywood boards needed to be replaced. Our house is old enough that it had sections with boards and some without. Abel was very informative during the bidding process and was the only one to provide a detailed diagram of how the roof venting system would look like on our roof. It was great to have this information and a sense of how things will look when the project is done. None of the other roofing companies we got estimates from provided that but wanted to replace all the plywood boards. We also had our chimney removed at a reasonably price compared to the other bidders. Katie at the front office was very responsive to any of our concerns or questions. Any issues that came up were resolved. We were initially given a time line of several weeks out, however a clearing in the weather for 2 to 3 days got us scheduled and the project was done in 3 days, just in time for some heavy rain. The job site was also kept clean in the evenings and any issues found during the final walkthrough were taken care off within a few days. We heard about KLAM through a friend, and I also see ourselves recommending them to others.
Areas Of Satisfaction - Good communication, great workers, kept the job site clean and safe.
Areas Of Satisfaction - Their knowledge, accountability and fairness
Recognized Excellence - Abel, he runs a good company
Recognized Excellence - Abel was amazing!
We had a very positive experience with Klam Construction. The owner, Abel Serrano, came to our home personally to give us his evaluation and bid. He was also the only one who actually got up on our roof and inspected it before preparing his bid. While on the roof, he noticed a problem with the facing around our chimney. His team fixed it at no charge. Klam's price was less than the other companies, and we are extremely satisfied with the quality and professionalism of the company. We would really recommend Klam Construction.
Recognized Excellence - The coordinator Katie was most helpful, as was Milo, the team foreman.
Areas Of Satisfaction - The amount of time the owner spent with us explaining what we needed and why. There was so much more to the process than just a new roof.
Staff was always courteous and friendly.
Areas Of Satisfaction - all areas. I like the fact that the owner is there (available) from beginning to end, to assure all goes well.
Recognized Excellence - Katie Alley was always easy to reach and helpful
Additional Comments - It was an overall very good experience
Areas Of Satisfaction - I thought the owner Abel was very knowledgeable and did a very thorough inspection of my roof and attic before the work was even started.
Additional Comments - I only give a 3 on question 12 because I'm having a hard time keeping up with the cost of things in todays world. $27K seemed like a lot to spend on a new roof but, I got other quotes and it was right in line with today's market. I thought Abel, the owner of Klam Construction was very good at what he does and I'm happy with my decision to go with them.
Excellent, efficient work. Abel was superb and very thorough. We got 5 bids and KLAM was the clear front-runner. Very happy with the work.
Recognized Excellence - Abel, plus the entire team who worked on our roof. Very efficient, organized, and clean.
Areas Of Satisfaction - Very thorough explanation of roof, venting needed and options during bidding process. Great communication before, during and after project was completed.
Recognized Excellence - Katie and Abel were great to work with.
Areas Of Satisfaction - Great job very professional and great people
Recognized Excellence - Hiro, Able Jr , Able and Katie ,Not sure all the crew guys names but they were excellent !
Additional Comments - Great job everyone ! Thank You
Areas Of Satisfaction - They did what they said they would do and when they said they would do it for a reasonable price.
Recognized Excellence - The whole installation crew.
Klam Construction is TOP NOTCH. A superior owner with integrity, forthrightness, and clear communication skills. I could not have asked for or expected a better experience. From Abel the owner/estimator, to Katie the office manager and the entire work crew all were TRUE professionals in the greatest sense of the word. And speaking of "words", my wife and I cannot fully express our sincere satisfaction, gratitude and surprise at how efficiently, effectively and courteous everyone was. To say the crew was hard working is an under statement. They were also very impressive in how they coordinated each portion of the project with hardly a word between them. To use the old adage ... "It ran like a well oiled machine!" BUT in over-drive!
Contractor Knowledge - From the initial meeting with Abel, the owner and estimator, the experience was top notch. Something I have never experienced with any other contractor in any phase of construction. AMAZING is not descriptive enough.
Professional & Organized - From Katie in the office to Abel the owner/estimator both were quick to respond by phone or email to any question my wife or I had.
Communication - All the working crew and staff communicated with us in an extremely clear and concise manner.
Installation Crew - The installation crew was PREMIERE. All sides of our house had either garden beds, flower beds, flower pots, a water fountain or decorative shrubbery. Every item was carefully covered and protected through the entire process.
Clean & Safe - The job site was kept extremely clean and was free of debris, nails and shingles. When the crew was drilling holes for the placement of extra eave vents they even held a trash can underneath the drill to collect the falling shavings and sawdust.
Work Done Right - One morning it appeared a section of shingles was not laying down flat and sealing properly. Rather than wait and see if it would resolve itself and seal in the heat of the following day or two the crew notified Abel and he had additional bundles of shingles from a different lot brought out and the crew replaced the questionable shingles right then and there. some bundles from a different lot of shingles and notified Owens-Corning of the possible problem.
I’m “over the moon” pleased with the quality and speed of work provided by Klam. Professional, knowledgeable and efficient every step of the way. They should rename their company to “Magical Experience” because it was exactly that for me.
Areas For Improvement - Work with customers who have dogs to communicate break times when they can take their dogs on potty breaks while the work is going on.
Areas Of Satisfaction - The quality and configuration of the new roof structure improved my quality of life tenfold. My house is cooler and I’m sleeping better at night.
Recognized Excellence - Manuel deserves a raise. He’s an excellent foreman! I very much appreciate Abel’s hand’s on approach during assessment and quote. He helped me feel good about my decision.
Klam Construction LLC is the ultimate roofing company.
Areas For Improvement - None. “THE BEST”
Areas Of Satisfaction - The crew was so efficient and fast that they completed the job much sooner than I thought possible (and they did itRIGHT!).
Recognized Excellence - Abel Serrano, Manuel & Crew, Katie Alley & Glenda
Additional Comments - EXCELLENT COMPANY……….EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE!
KLAM was very efficient and hard working. I recommend them to anyone who needs a new roof.
Klam Construction is a well managed professional team from the owner, to the office support staff to the on roof talent, right down to the clean up crew. Would highly recommend them.
Areas Of Satisfaction - First, we wanted to replace insulation in our upper story, and Able worked closely with the insulation company to pull off a tricky bit of timing.Then, in the process of replacing our roof, dry rot in our “eyebrow” windows was discovered. Replacing these 100 year-old, hand-crafted windows would have been super expensive. BUT they looked carefully and found that it was not the window, but the frame that held the self-contained window in place. They crafted new frames, reinstalled the windows, and saved us thousands of dollars! This is the second house that KLAM has installed for us, and we highly recommend them.
Recognized Excellence - Able, of course, and the ever patient Katie.
Having moved to the area after retiring as a residential general contractor, I am used to interviewing, hiring, and overseeing other contractors, but have no contacts here. I needed my own roof done, and called suppliers for a list of their best roofers. From there I got bids, researched each company, and KLAM was an easy choice. I was confident in their knowledge, professionalism and product. Not the biggest or fanciest, they are also not the cheapest - which means they are able to deal with unexpected events.With great communication leading up to the start of the project from Abel and Katie, the crew and support people were always on time and worked very hard. We had a large cedar shake roof on a steep pitch with several rooflines/ridges, so it was a big job. Protecting our new deck and many plants surrounding the house was a concern, but they took the time and effort to avoid damage without my prompting. The quality of the roofing, workmanship, and cleanup was more than expected. I checked their work every day after they left (always protected from rain, even when not forecast), and everything was always on track. When they left, I was pleased enough to give each of the crew a decent tip. David
Areas Of Satisfaction - Blend of price and professionalism
Recognized Excellence - They were all outstanding to work with.
Additional Comments - Like most homeowners looking for contractors, I had no-shows bids, a very high bid, and a scary, low bid. KLAM was in the middle. Part of the reason I went with them was that they didn't push upgrades or easy ways of on a difficult job. The highest bidder (by $20k) missed a crucial component of redoing the roof ventilation, and pushed the highest level of roofing hard.
KLAM construction is a "class" organization. I recommend them without reservation.
It was a pleasure to work with Klam Construction. Every step of the roofing process was explained and adhered to. I felt very comfortable from start to finish.
Recognized Excellence - I would like to thank Abel for a great job, he took his time inspecting our current roofing system, and drew up a plan that would provide a great roof, and improve our ventilation system. I would also extend my appreciation to Katie for her diligence in facilitating the process. Kudos!
Areas Of Satisfaction - Professionalism, communication, and attention to detail.
It was a joy to work with Abel and his crew from the beginning to the end of the project. Their work was of the highest quality and reasonably priced.
They did a great job with my roof. Very professional from start to finish. I would highly recommend them for any roof project.
I definitely made the right choice in roofing contractors. From my first meeting with Abel, I was confident as he was super knowledgeable and trustworthy. They replaced 3 rafters, 50 sheets of plywood and reroofed. Their attention to detail is impressive and seldom seen these days. The crew was great and did exactly what they promised. I would use no other roofers other than Klam construction.
Areas Of Satisfaction - Honest, hardworking and caring.
Recognized Excellence - Abel and his crew.
My home's age is approaching 100 years and the roof design is complicated by lack of eaves and soffit, the presence of a central located chimney, valleys, and later added dormer & sky lights. Able and his crew carefully studied the situation and recommended ventilation improvements as well as insulation and a membrane cover for the dormer's flat roof. Milo and his crew installed the baffles, vents, architectural grade shingles, and welded membrane with great care. The finished roof looks terrific! I can recommend Klam Construction without reservations!
Areas Of Satisfaction - Exceptional care to maintain property and the extra time to explain and ensure understanding of options and recommendations.
Recognized Excellence - Although everyone on the crew was professional in their demeanor and very polite, the lead craftsman Milo was outstanding in his communication and care to get the installation done in the best way possible. I really enjoyed working with Milo.
Klam construction did a great job on our new roof. We have a very complicated roof with many peaks and ventilation issues. The estimate from Klam was one of the most comprehensive we received. Klam added more ventilation than was in the estimate because that is what they felt was necessary. Moreover, they did so at no additional cost to us. Truly outstanding.
Recognized Excellence - Katie was great to work with answered my questions, helped me understand the plan etc.
KLAM construction sales (Abel Serrano) went over the features of our new roof and answered all of our questions. KLAM did an excellent job with our house roof and the cleaned up the job amazingly well. The crew was super quick and worked with us all the way.
Areas For Improvement - I do not have any negative comments on the quality of the work or any aspect of the job. There did very well on everything.
Areas Of Satisfaction - The new roof looked great and the clean up was excellent.
Recognized Excellence - I thought the crew foreman - Manuel did a great job as th did the salesman - Abel Serrano.
Additional Comments - I was very happy my new roof and working with KLAM Construction. They did everything right.
Areas Of Satisfaction - Communication with Katie and Abel was great. I feel like they will stand by their work and help me if anything comes up in the future.
Recognized Excellence - Abel and Katie
KLAM is amazing. They treated my house as if it was their own. Abel is so knowledgeable and the entire staff is very professional and knowledgeable. I wish KLAM performed all home related services as I would hire them for absolutely everything.
Areas Of Satisfaction - Abel's knowledge and professionalism.
Recognized Excellence - Katie, she's amazing.
Additional Comments - I so love KLAM!!
I would definitely recommend Klam Construction, they have been a pleasure to work with.
Areas Of Satisfaction - Abel and his crew listen to the customer, make suggestions based on observed needs, and focus on getting the job done right.
Areas Of Satisfaction - Customer service. Very responsive.
Recognized Excellence - Able, Katie, and installers.
Nice folks. Showed up on time, finished on time. Owner Abel Serrano gave the estimate and explained clearly every little piece of the job. Mr. Serrano replied clearly and concisely to every question I had. His crew showed up on time, worked quickly and finished on time. I chose an Owens-Corning contractor to ensure a corporate guarantee that lasts long enough, in case the contractor owner retires. I chose Mr. Serrano's company because I liked him and got the most confidence from his estimate. But given their level of expertise and general reputation, I don't expect problems.
Areas Of Satisfaction - They struck me as very knowledgeable and I haveConfidence in the work that they did. I also appreciated that they were able to start the project earlier than expected.
Klam Construction is a great company to work with. They are extremely professional and very clean and organized. I would strongly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a quality roof.
Areas Of Satisfaction - Very professional and clean. They crew did a great job keeping the job site clean and safe.
Recognized Excellence - The whole crew did a stellar job. We were impressed with all of them. As always, we were very impressed with Abel!
Abel was very knowledgeable and I felt confident that Klam Construction would do a great job when we selected them....and they did! Their team lead, David, was very organized and went above and beyond in his work. The entire team worked very hard. Katie in the office was a great help in answering questions and quickly returning calls. I would definitely recommend Klam to others.
Areas Of Satisfaction - I appreciated Abel's straight forward approach, making sure we understood what was necessary for a quality roof replacement and appreciated that Klam did not do a "hard sell" as we encountered with some other companies we talked to when we were getting bids.
Recognized Excellence - David, the team lead on our project, did an excellent job. Thank you David!
Klamath Construction is an excellent company to do business with. Very knowledgeable, professional, on time, and efficient.
Thorough and professional estimate. Extensive knowledge of their products and procedures was a big selling point for us. Top-rate customer service: all questions and concerns were addressed in a timely manner with ease and consideration for our schedules. The work crew was fast, clean and efficient. After hearing our lighting issues, Abel recommended specialized tinted skylights and the company he steered us to supplied an excellent product that has solved the problem of too much sunlight flooding the house. This has also made us very happy. Will definitely recommend Klam to anyone who asks. A truly great experience.

Recognized Excellence - Abel Serrano and Katie Alley. We didn't get the names of the crew, but hats off to them also.
Areas Of Satisfaction - The owner coming out to the house for the bid and final inspection, very professional. The office staff had great communication.
Recognized Excellence - Katie Alley and Able were both great to deal with.
I was impressed with Abel's knowledge of roofing components. For me, online reviews can be important. I found positive reviews and no negative remarks. Customers are more likely to provide a review if there were problems with the work. He also suggested I use a different system for rebuilding my deck cover that's attached to the roof top. The roofing crew professionally installed the new supports for the cover. After the roofing was completed I began installing the new cover. I think the new cover will be far superior to the DIY cover that was there before. The crew worked very efficiently and cleaned up the site at the end of the day. I recommend Klam for any roofing projects.
KLAM construction demonstrated courteous, professional, and skilled behaviors from the intial estimation visit through the post-completion follow up and inspection. Would recommend without hesitation.
Areas Of Satisfaction - KLAM construction crew worked as a well coordinated and skilled team of professionals and always consulted and worked with me whenever unforseen challenges were discovered during the repair and replacement process on our roof. They showed up on time, worked long and hard days, and always left the job site clean and picked up each day.
Areas Of Satisfaction - High level of communication in regards to scheduling and any queries I had.
