I couldn’t be more pleased with the services performed by Graduate Contracting of a new roof, gutters, and gutter guards. Seth Johnson kept me informed on every stage of the process. All the workers were very prompt and professional… during the work and clean up. Again, I couldn’t be more pleased and am so glad that I got to know the very polite, Seth Johnson, who orchestrated the entire project. Thanks again!!!

Graduate Contracting just completed the installation of a new roof and gutters on my home due to hail damage earlier this year. They and especially Seth Johnson did a beautiful job. Their installation crew members were top notch, especially mindful of the property and very careful while doing the tear off. Seth worked well with myself and especially well with my insurance adjuster. I would highly recommend Graduate Contracting and Seth Johnson without hesitation if you want a quality roofing job!

Dustin and his team kept us updated throughout the entire repair process from the hail damage our home had received from recent storms. They replaced the roof, gutters, window screens and shutters. Along with a little bit of siding and then even subcontracted the replacement of the garage door that was also damaged and covered under insurance. Would definitely recommend and hire again if needed. Hopefully Mother Nature is a lot kinder to our home in the future. It’s even better looking now with the improvements Dustin and his team did.

I couldn’t be more impressed with the service I received from Graduate contracting after a major storm caused significant damage to my roof. From the moment I contacted them, they were professional, responsive, and understanding of the urgency of the situation. They quickly scheduled an inspection, thoroughly assessed the damage, and provided a clear, detailed estimate. The team was prompt, hardworking, and completed the job efficiently, all the while keeping my property clean and protected throughout the process. They even went the extra mile to ensure that everything was fully restored, including addressing some areas I hadn’t noticed initially. The quality of their work was outstanding and and the roof looks and functions better then ever. I also appreciated their transparency with pricing and their willingness to work directly with my insurance company to make the whole process seamless. I highly recommend Graduate Contracting to anyone in need of roofing services. It’s rare to find a company that combines expertise, excellent customer service, and reliability like this one does.

We contacted Graduate to repair our roof after getting storm damage that destroyed the gutter, facia, soffit, and shingles, causing several leaks inside our home. The owner Paden was a blessing, he helped us navigate a very aggravating and discouraging insurance claim with our home owners insurance when the insurance company didn't want to pay half of what it would cost to repair it. Paden and his crew did an amazing job despite our budget constraints and we are very glad we called them. I would absolutely recommend Graduate to anyone needing work done to their roof and we will be contacting them for any future roof repairs or upgrades.

Best roofing contractor we've ever done business with. Fully replaced our roof in one day and worked closely with insurance company for a full reimbursement (minus deductible). 100% recommend this professional business.

I've tried to engage other contractors for several months to get some repairs to my roof and siding addressed. These folks were actually responsive, I didn't have to pull my hair out getting an estimate and when the contract was signed they came to my property very timely, completed the job quickly, were very professional and we very friendly to boot!

The work was done quickly (putting a new roof on my house), and they made time to do it in between larger projects. I dealt with the owner (or one of the owners), and he was responsive to all my questions and concerns, down to resubmitting my insurance claim. I'll recommend the company if/when any of my friends are looking for a roofer.

Excellent service and ensured my insurance claim was as painless as possible after a hail storm impacted our roof, gutters, siding, and more.

Paden W. has been an absolute pleasure to work with. He is polite, honest, and very knowledgeable. He went above and beyond when it came to corresponding with my insurance company to ensure the repairs were done correctly, all while keeping me well-informed throughout the entire process.
The crew that came out to replace my roof maintained that level of excellence. They were quick and efficient and did an excellent job cleaning up afterward. They even took the time to protect our rose bushes and other landscaping.
I hope to not need another roof for a very long time, but I will definitely be calling Graduate Contracting for any future repairs or replacements! Thank you to Paden and his team!

Your team did an excellent job with our home repairs resulting from the August 20, 2022, storm. Your constant attention to details and the adjustor's estimate of damage saved us money and resulted in an excellent job that met with our satisfaction. Pointing out the missed items on the adjustor's insurance claim saved us several hundred dollars. The information and answers you provided were invaluable. Your knowledge of building materials and quality products helped us immensely as we dealt with this major home repair. Many of our neighbors also used your services and have commented on your professional attitude, quality workmanship, and quick attention to our concerns and questions. All employees have been courteous and pleasant to work with. I highly recommend you and your firm.

We recently found some leaks in our ceiling that were the result of a very old roof and likely old storm damage as well. We reached out to friends and Graduate came highly recommended. Paden was a great communicator from the start! He took the time to educate us on options, walk us through the process with insurance, and worked directly with our adjuster. After meetings with a few other roofers, we found Paden to be professional, the materials were high quality, and the service was great! Would recommend!

Filled out the email form to request a estimate on a vinyl siding repair. It was a small job, but I got a phone call quickly (same day) and after a quick convo and a few pictures, had an estimate. They came the very next day to do the repair, and it took less than 30mins AND they were able to do the repair without replacing the siding pieces, which not only saved me money, but also saved me from having mismatched siding due to sun-fading. Great company, very fast and reliable service. Will definitely be calling them again!

The entire Graduate Contracting team has done an excellent job for us. They installed our roof a couple of years ago and it looks great! Recently, I called Paden regarding a few bent gutter guards. The next day the service team arrived at our house and made the necessary repairs. I would highly recommend Graduate Contracting because of their commitment to quality, excellent service work and total customer satisfaction!

Had a pesky leak on my garage and Dustin came out and repaired several places in less than 1 day. Very professional. They will get a call on my next roofing job.

Paden, Dustin and the whole crew are awesome! They installed our née roof a couple years ago and it looks great!
When we had some ice damming this winter, they came out to repair it the same day we called.

Edited Aug 23, 2023:
The recent heavy wind /rain knocked off a couple of shingles off the roof.
GC/Paden and Dustin were very happy to take a look and they made sure that it was fixed at the earliest possible.

I have known them now for about 8 to 10 years.
They always respond to all my queries/issues without any hesitation.

They have always been honest and outspoken - which is just one of the reasons I recommend them to people who ask me for a referral.

They have never let me down.
I would recommend them without any hesitation whatsoever.

Initial /original review 2 years ago

I first met Paden and Dustin few years ago - when my old roof was leaking. They changed the whole roof then.

They have done a great job. Also they have always promptly responded whenever I had any issues with it since then.

Even recently after the snow/ice built up in my roof led to a leak - Paden came the same day and responded appropriately.

They are very truthful and responsible - would trust them without hesitation.

If it is something they are not comfortable with, they would be the first to let you know.

I would recommend them 100%.

We had some weather damage to our home and garage recently and came in contact with Todd Smith. He was very responsive and professional throughout the entire process. He was more than willing to walk us through everything in as much detail as we needed until we were comfortable with it. I would highly recommend Todd and Graduate Contracting for anyone looking for genuinely good people to work with. Thanks again!

We had our awning disconnect from the house and damage to our roof from the high winds right before Thanksgiving. Todd from Graduate Contracting helped us throughout the entire process of filing our claim. Our new roof and awning look amazing. The workers were great! Very friendly and punctual.

We had our roof put on in May. They did a great job. This past week I had a minor concern. I called Todd and he was here the next day and took care of it. They do great work and stand behind it!!

I worked with Paden Wagner to have my roof replaced in 2015 .The job was completed promptly in an efficient and outstanding manner and the price was reasonable. I was extremely pleased and the roof is still in excellent condition. Since then, I have consulted with Mr. Wagner about gutters, and just recently, about adding down spouts. He gives an honest appraisal of what I could do, what I need to do, as well as what I don't need to do. I highly recommend Graduate Contracting for all roofing services.

Received couple estimates from several local roofers. Todd from Graduate Contracting was able to come out same day to look at my roof and complete the repairs the same week. As a female homeowner I was very impressed with his professionalism and communication. Would definitely recommend and use again! Thanks Todd!

5 stars for quality, responsiveness and sticking by their word. Created a seamless experience for all parties involved and they were on time and on budget and easy/friendly to deal with. I'd recommend Graduate Contracting to anyone.

I had a great experience with graduate contracting and highly recommend this company. GC replaced my home roof and saved me money by repairing my gutters instead of replacing them. I feel my needs as a customer were met and any questions I had were answered promptly and respectfully. I was treated like a valued customer and really appreciated the professionalism of the company. I highly recommend this company.

Within an hour or so of calling to schedule an appointment for a leaking roof there was a gentleman here ready to work. He was extremely professional and straightforward about the work that needed to be done to resolve the problem. I certainly recommend giving these guys a call if you need any sort of work done on your roof, chimney, etc.

It was great working with Todd Smith on our roof. He took the time to explain everything clearly and was patience with us through the whole process. He continued to check up with us before, during and long after the project was done. I highly recommend him and his company and plan to use them again for my roofing needs.

Excellent customer service and professionalism. Todd arrived at my house as scheduled and gave me an up front and honest assessment of my project. The job was completed on time and exceeded expectations. I will definitely use this company again.

I had Graduate Contracting come out and inspect my roof for issues. Todd Smith, called me and came over the same day to address any problems. He was very professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and very easy to work with. He found a few minor things and took care of them on the spot. I am very happy with the work that was completed and I wouldn't hesitate to use this company in the future for any of my roofing needs. They are top notch!

Being a first time homeowner there are a lot of things you learn as you go. We noticed some damage after a recent storm and decided to have the roof looked at. I contacted Graduate Contracting and Todd Smith called me within the hour of my first initial phone call. From that point on Todd took care of making us feel educated every step of the way. He went out of his way to be there when the adjuster came to the house to do his part which meant a lot to my husband and myself as we have never done anything like this before. He helped us understand pros and cons of different colors of roofing and gutters for our house. I felt very confident in all of the decisions that were made for our roof and our house now looks perfect. I would most definitely recommend Todd Smith to anyone that is needing work done to their roof. We are more than pleased with how everything turned out and the quality of care given to us.

Dustin of Graduate Contracting is one of the best professionals I have ever dealt with as a condo president. From our first meeting in August of 2018 through our last meeting yesterday, he always gets the job done. Our condominiums had Graduate put on two roofs in September and we were very pleased. Their price was fair and their work outstanding. Greg of Graduate has also made repairs to our other roofs and has been able to fix leaks that other companies we used before were unable to solve. Dustin did evaluations of our older roofs yesterday and was honest enough to say we were not in need of replacement in the near future instead of saying they needed immediate replacement to get the job. Although I hope to not need major work any time soon I know I will call Dustin at Graduate when I do. I highly recommend them.

I recently had my roof replaced by Graduate Contracting. Scott did great work and was always available to answer questions. Andrea, in the office, was a joy to work with and made the process simple. They were friendly, affordable, and I would recommend them.

I have used Graduate Contracting on (5)re- roof projects over the past 3 years. I obtained excellent service on each project. They delivered what they promised. To be totally honest (1) roof had some problems but their great staff resolved the problem quickly at NO COST TO ME!! I would highly recommend their roofing service to anyone.

After fighting a leaking Kitchen roof for 5 years I called them , they did a amazing job for a very reasonable price and with the rain lately as a test, my roof does not leak

Can't say enough good things about Graduate Contracting. To start with they are looking out for their customers. One of the owners actually met with the Insurance adjuster and dealt with the Insurance company for us so we did not have to deal with that headache. The roof was replaced in one day. These guys where the cleanest crew I have ever seen. They picked up EVERYTHING..No nails, no tar paper, no shingles. The owner came out at the end of the day to go over the finished roof and answer any questions we may have. Quality from start to finish. Great job!! Great Service!! Great Price!!
Thanks Graduate Contracting.

Chris Davidson and Vinni stopped by my home because they saw a shingle missing from the roof, I had missed it completely. They took the time to get on my roof and check out the entire house without charging. Very professional.

Our first contact with Graduate Contracting was with a knock on our door by Paden Wagner, following a severe storm that we had on Oct. 19, 2016. He ask if he could look at our roof to see if there was damage, we were busy at that time, so he gave us his card, no pressure, no call backs..we called him back and ask for him to take a look at our roof. He saw damage, took pictures so we also could see the damage. he made another trip to our house when adjuster was here, something he didn't have to do. This company is very professional, they do what they say they will, they were here when they said they would be. I give them the highest rating possible, for being an honest reputable company.no upfront money was requested by company before work was completed.

Graduate Contracting is a fantastic company. After a severe thunderstorm back in July, one of their guys came out to take a look at some possible damage on the roof. Very polite and professional demeanor, and were always quick to respond to emails and phone calls. One of the guys drove out a few days after we first contacted Graduate and assessed our situation. In the end we didn’t need the entire roof replaced, though they did find a few leaky spots that they went ahead and patched. The crews worked very fast and had the job done in an afternoon. No mess or debris was left at all; you wouldn’t have even known that anybody had even been there working! I work from home most of the time so I was very pleased at the speed and tidiness of the crew, which in all honestly has been one of our bigger problems with other home improvement companies. All in all, we were very impressed and if any bigger jobs come up down the road we will definitely be giving Graduate a call!

As a single woman with no knowledge of home construction, I was worried about being taken advantage of when having my roof replaced. I chose Graduate Contracting after getting estimates from three different roofing companies, two of which gave me estimates for the same work but wanted to do much more than was needed. The owners, Dustin and Paden, patiently listened to my concerns about my current roof and were very thorough in explaining my options. They were honest, up-front, extremely friendly and did not pressure me to sign a work order.

The day of the repair, the crew arrived on time and finished that same afternoon. They were efficient and thorough, not a single piece of debris remained in my yard when they left. I would not hesitate to call them for future projects and would recommend this business to anyone!
