C.O. Beck & Sons Roofing and Sheet Metal

C.O. Beck did a very good job on our roof. We called them out for maintenance issues, and they were very professional, and offered some helpful information. I would use them again.

They put a new metal roof on our camp on an island in Belgrade Lakes. The process was slow to get scheduled, due to needing to find a boat for the estimate and then one for the work, but once we got that figured out, they did the work on time, and did it extremely well. Steve and his crew did a superb job of making sure everything was built to be leak-free for longer than the rest of my life. The material samples they provided were also very useful for selecting the color.

The camp was built in the early 1930s and has some complicated eave-valley interactions that required significant work to install. As an engineer for a well-known space agency, I was impressed with the engineering they did to make it not just watertight but with redundancy. The new flashing on the fieldstone chimneys should eliminate the regular leaks we used to have there, for example. (That work was done by G&L Contracting, to Beck's specifications.)

They also added/replaced some gutters, which I haven't seen in person yet but the photos (and the gutter sample I did see) look not only beautiful but sturdy enough to last until the heat death of the universe.

Mitch was very responsive and helpful dealing with the issues of working on an island, and everyone on the crew was a joy to have at the camp while they were working. The end result is absolutely gorgeous, and the thought of never having to re-roof again is a huge load off. Steve was meticulous in making sure to keep the worksite clean (no sharp metal shards allowed!) while I was there, so I am confident there will be none when we get back next summer. In addition, they installed two solar panels that I provided. I suspect that was more work than initially planned for, but they did a great job at the contracted price.

Overall, I couldn't be happier with the process or the result!

I called for an estimate on a roof, and while they were responsive in stopping by within a week, I waited 4 weeks for a response on the estimate only for them to tell me that it's basically not worth their time, and refused my quote. It would probably be better business to be up front about these things, rather than make false promises for weeks...only to bail out when I inquired. Unprofessional, and won't be using or recommending anyone to use them.
