Carlson Bros Inc

I now understand how this place came so highly recommended both by word of mouth and online - I got a quick estimate the same week I called - an honest opinion for my roof with no extra sells. I will definitely be using them again in the future. Companies like these are hard to come by!

We just had Carlson Bros., Inc. install a new roof on our ranch. We are very satisfied with the result and so glad we chose Doug & Ron Carlson to handle everything. The crew was very efficient and polite and did a great job cleaning up afterwards. We highly recommend Carlson Bros. for all your roofing needs.

Carlson Brothers just replaced the roof on both the house and garage for a very reasonable price. Dealing with them was very easy and the initial consultation took 15-20 mins. Some roofers wanted at least an hour like they were re-building the house. Excellent communication on start date and stuck to schedule to complete the job. They cleaned up the property very well. When I requested follow up on a few issues post completion, they responded and addressed quickly; no questions asked. Not sure what else you can ask for.

We had a leak coming through our roof. Called up Carlson’s Roofing and they were very responsive and came the next day. We were very thankful for their knowledge and professionalism. They were able to find the problem and fix it same day! We definitely recommend them for all your roofing needs!

This is the second time that I have used this company, and again.
what a great experience!
I called the office and made an appointment and Mr. Carlson who showed up on time to provide us with a quote.
The next day the workman arrived to perform the work.
Everyone was professional and knew exactly what to do. Unfortunately there are many contractors out there that will try and do things that aren't really needed but this wasn't the case with Carlson Bros.
This company and it's employees were great!
Based on my experience I would definitely recommend them.
Don't go looking through the Val pack coupons for a company that needs to do the advertising to get business, instead look for the good reviews of a local contractor.
Thanks for everything.

Buyer Beware!! Unfortunately, I chose Carlson Brother's roofing back in 2001 to replace my roof. About a week after they installed the roof, I went up and inspected the job. There were multiple issues where they did a very poor job (see the photos). I asked them to fix it and they eventually came out on did some repairs, which turned out to be covering the problems with tar. Not knowing any better at the time, I thought everything was fixed. Move forward about 9 years and my roof started leaking. I was able to get them to come out and "fix" the problem which again was them slapping on more tar. I later learned that they didn't do any flashing along the edges of the dormers which is where the leaks are. After another 9-10 years, the roof started leaking again. I guess that it takes about that long for the tar to wear away. So, despite installing a 30-year roof, I'm going to have to have the roof replaced and done correctly this time. I'm sorry I didn't know better 20 years ago and would have made them re-do it correctly or sued them. Of course I need to have the ceilings fixed as well.

I have used this company for the past twenty years..they are excellent..back their product and workmanship 110%..Very professional..reasonable and reliable.,

I think they must be going out of business, or just not very responsive to prospective customers. I had Dan Carlson come out to my address in June 2020 for an estimate on a metal roof over a BBQ pit area in my back yard. To his credit, Dan was at my house the very next day to look at the job. Told me it was not all that complex, and I would have an estimate by the end of the week. The estimate never arrived, so I gave him a few more days. Then, I emailed him direct several times on an ETA for the estimate -- all without a single response. I then called the office and they said he was waiting to hear back from the manufacturer to finalize the price quote. I never heard back, so went with another contractor and the Metal Roof came out great. Its a shame as my preference would have been to support a local contractor during this crazy time of Covid-19.

They have so many great reviews, that when my sky light started to leak, I decided to them give them another shot. A different Carlson brother showed up in early August 2020, again he came the very next day following my call, and told me he could fix the problem and the indication was this should be a relatively small job. He wasn't able to get on the roof right then as it was raining out. After one or two more storms, the rain damage was getting worse, so I called the office for an ETA to schedule this work. This time, I didn't get a call back --- but a text message from Denise arrived about a week later (after several calls) with a possible timeline of 4 to 6 week out to schedule this work. After one to two more storms, I tried every possible way of contacting them -- multiple phone calls, multiple voice mail messages, multiple text messages back to Denise, multiple emails, I even stopped my their E Main St (Ramsey) address (no one was at the address). I was trying to ask to see if they could tarp the area to try to prevent further water damage until they could schedule the work. Not even a single call back or single text message back or single email back. They essentially abandoned me as a client (for the second time). All while, the damage was getting worse resulting in $1000's of additional water related damage.

I ended up calling Murray from Segelman Shaw Roofers, who was there the very same day to nail down a tarp and stop further water damage from occuring. Granted, they were not the least expensive (nor was I asking for the least expensive contractor), but the job got done. If you want guys to come out the next day to look at the job, and then fall off the face of the earth, then Carlson is the right contractor for you. Otherwise, I would look elsewhere.

They did my roof years ago. 30 yr warranty. I had a leak a few years later. They refused to come out. The man that I spoke with actually told me without looking my job up that they couldn't have done my roof because they don't work near me! Leak is much worse now and they ate still refusing to come out and look at it. I am willing to pay for whatever I have to. I am very frustrated!!!

We had a roof leak in our garage, I called three roofing contractors and the the first two gave pricing of $1,200 and 1,800 to repair the leak. When The Carlson Bro’s rep came he did the same inspection the other two contractors did but he found a nail that was causing the leak, fixed it in five minutes. You can’t put a price tag on a professional, competent and especially honest contractor. I am Carlson Bro’s. client for life.

We used Carson Bros to replace our roof. We had seen their work as they did several other homes in our area and liked what we saw. Doug was responsive to our call, came at the exact date and time we scheduled an appointment for. Coordination with the appointment was seamless with Denise answering all our questions regarding the contract and start date. The employees are busy bees. They started the day and ended the day doing a perfect job. They made sure the work area was cleaned up each day, protected our shrubs and even made sure no materials strayed onto our neighbors property. We have gotten so many compliments on the work they did, we knew we made the right choice using Carlson Bros Inc.

How often can you say that the job was done on time, as promised and exceeded your expectations? Well this is a Company that exceeded each one of those attributes. From start to finish the communication was excellent. There were no corners cut, the workers were professional and courteous and the property was cleaner when they left than when they started. Well done Carlson Bros. and thank you for an outstanding job!

You can just stop shopping around for a great roofer/siding expert. We've been in our house for 30 years and Carlson Brothers is THE BEST contractor we have ever dealt with. So accommodating. So much attention to detail . Only wants to please the client, no matter how annoying we were at times. My house looks GORGEOUS . Ask for my address and drive by and see for yourself. There are problems on all contractor jobs...but Carlson Brothers knows how to solve them and doesn't give you any attitude . Professional from beginning to end. They are the best.

They came, they tore up bad roof, and did the new roof beautifully. Cleanup was excellent - it's like no one was here, but the roof was still magically redone. Great job, great value, and excellent on time. No more sliding shingles!

I highly recommend Carlson Bros. They completed the work in a timely manner and cleaned up afterwards. The roof looks great!

We would give 10 rating if it would be available. Our roof had some challenges and we could not find anybody who would take the challenge on until we met with Douglas, owner of Carlson Bros. Inc.
Everything was done on time with high quality. We are family of engineers with understanding what and how, and we can say the work was done to the highest level of quality, all on time.
We thank you Douglas and his team very much and would recommend to anybody who is looking for honest, reliable team to do the work.

Carlson Bros just replaced out roof and it looks fantastic. From the request for an estimate to the scheduling of the work and finally the completion of the work was within a 2 week period, very reasonable. We actually had a few shingles dislodged causing a minor leak so they came out to repair the roof before they could get to our home to replace the roof, very grateful for that. The staff was prompt, efficient, courteous and highly skilled. I would highly recommend Carlson Bros.

Unreliable ... they (I believe his name was Ron) came out to look at the project in early May. We reviewed the work and he said his brother would come back the next day to measure for a skylight replacement and provide a quote for the skylight and roof repair. Never came back .. waited a couple days before calling back but they never returned the call. Called a second time a week later but no one called back Very unprofessional.

Last winter I encountered a leak in the roof. Doug Carlson assessed the roof, determined where the roof leak was located and provided me with options on repairing or replacing the roof. Given that the roof was 20 years old, I opted for replacing the roof. During the assessment, I mentioned to Doug issues I had with a bathroom pipes freezing and cold temp in the room. He suggested that Carlson Bros. could insulate the attic crawlspace at the same time with replacing the roof and that should solve the problem. Prior to speaking with Doug, I did reach out to other contractors on this issue but no one could help. Well, one year later, my bathroom is warm – no freezing pipes – and my roof is beautiful. Overall the price was great, the project was quick and painless, cleanup exceptional. Highly recommend Carlson Bros.

Many years after having Carlson install our roof- we had a few loose shingles. Rich came by and made the fixes at no charge. Nice to see a business that will return many years later and stand by their work.

Excellent job, on time and finished on schedule. Price was competitive with other qualified suppliers and they were local and had great references.

We used Carlson Brothers for our roof recently and it couldnt have been a better experience. The guys arrived on time and were incredibly professional. They worked quickly and efficiently and their work was fantastic. Plus they stayed on budget. I would give them more than five stars if that was possible.

In our experience and in our opinion, Carlson stands for shiny that turns into shoddy. High-nailed roof shingles (by inept crew during installation), over time, buckled and started falling off, causing need for premature roof replacement. Three roofers as well as GAF all confirmed the high-nailing, in writing. Roofers also noted that Carlson installed the underlying tarpaper vertically (the wrong direction, making house vulnerable to water damage) instead of horizontally (correct direction so water laps downward rather than into your house). Carlson claimed "direction made no difference, was of personal taste, like hanging wallpaper." [You can check this out w GAF, w roofers, with your town's Bldg. Dept.] They also installed unventilated front soffits (causing excessive heat build-up... check their own website!!) Carlson refused to acknowledge any installation mistakes. While technically not responsible due to protection by NJ 10-yr Statute of Repose, in our opinion, they came up short on integrity. Long story short, we got burnt. Suggest you go elsewhere.
