This was a small job but the team came when they were scheduled to be here and did a nice job.

I highly recommend them. They were very reasonably priced. Very efficient with tear down to completion in one day. They called my attention to damaged roof surface and replaced the damaged wood immediately. The cost for the repairs was negligible. They cleaned up all debris and left my yard in great condition. All in all it was a pleasure doing business with them. I got quality craftsmanship, speedily completed, at a great price.

I recently worked with Hammersmith Roofing and couldn’t be more pleased with the experience! Their customer service was excellent—communication was always clear and concise, and they were incredibly responsive via call, email, or text. Though the project took a little longer than expected, I understand they’re not the largest team, and the quality of their work made the wait worth it. The quote they provided was spot-on, and they delivered exactly what they promised. Overall, I’m very satisfied with the outcome and would absolutely choose Hammersmith Roofing again for any future needs. Highly recommend

With any project we do, I always try and get at least three quotes. I am SOOO glad I got a quote from Hammersmith. Were they the cheapest? No. Were they the quickest? No. But were they the ones who did a quality job, with the best communication and an eye for details? Heck yeah! I am VERY happy with the end result. I mean, this is your ROOF they are working on! You want a quality job, and that is what they did. Thank you Hammersmith!

HIGHLY recommend. They replaced my shed roof, and I've referred them to several others who all had fantastic experiences. Very knowledgeable and high quality work!

Justin & his team always work extremely hard to complete the job the right way the first time. They clean up after themselves, do a great job scheduling, and I've been so thankful to have them on my client referral list for nearly 6 years! He's roofed 4 of my own houses and countless for my clients. With experience that goes beyond roofing, Justin is always smart about the most effective way to the do repair a) cost effectively b) within your goals with the property.

Hammersmith has always been wonderful to work with. Knowledgeable, professional, accurate estimates and of course quality work! Great people to work with all around!

Justin and his team were responsive and did a great job resurfacing our flat roof in the Fan for a reasonable price. Prompt and attentive.

I have used Hammersmith to maintain slate roofs on two homes. Both times were great experiences. Most recently we worked with Justin to do some pretty extensive slate roof work on our new home. Justin goes above and beyond in terms of communication, follow up, and customer service. The crews were polite, and left the area clean. I would recommend Hammersmith without hesitation.

I have nothing but good things to say about my experience with Justin. He took time from his busy schedule and answered all my questions honestly with both the good and the bad. I valued his answers and felt he had my best interests in mind. Thank you.

This company is beyond professional! They really go the extra mile with their customer service. They returned my phone call within minutes of me leaving a voicemail, were incredibly thorough with their inspection of my leaking roof, and updated me through the entire process. Get it done right the first time and use Hammersmith for your next roof repair!

Update 9/23/23: our roof is leaking in the area of repair (which we are able to see now after photos were sent in July). We've lived in this house almost 30 years with no leaks, definitely not satisfied.

Tried this company after seeing all the 5-star reviews only to find them to be very disorganized and not thorough. Sent two checks to the address on the invoice, the same address listed here and it's not their current address. After repeated requests for payment a new check was written after we paid bank to stop payment since Hammersmith wouldn't cover this charge. Very disappointed in the level of service; we never had a walk-through when the work was completed so cannot speak to the quality of the work we can't see.

I cannot say enough good things about Hammersmith! They came out promptly after I submitted a request, and the service advisor, Derek, was very thorough and provided a number of options to fix my roof leak, but I opted for a full replacement since the roof was of unknown age.

I got a number of other quotes, and Hammmersmith were far and away the best of anyone who provided a quote. One company didn't even come out to look before giving a quote, another said it was my gutters (for a leak halfway up the roof....), and the final one was twice the cost.

Hammersmith was able to get the work scheduled while I was out of town and I came back to a perfect new roof and spotless work area. I have no problems recommending them to friends, family or anyone who asks.

I would highly recommend Hammersmith's. They were the only company that actually figured out the 'source' of my leak. Other companies just looked at the flashing and said "that's your problem". Given the upcoming rain, they worked me into their schedule to repair the nail hole in the shingle. Had I used other companies, my flashing would have been re-caulked, but I still would have had a leak! I felt like I was dealing with a company that really cared about their customer. Derek was a delight to work with and Justin was very responsive.
I'm likely going to need an entire new roof in a few more years and I'll go straight to them for the work.

They were extremely responsive and quick. I had everything done from the initial quote to repairs done within a few weeks. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area needing any roofing solutions.

We're extremely pleased with our experience using Hammersmith. Everyone we interacted with from start to finish was honest, reliable, and friendly. The work was performed quickly and correctly, and we're very happy with the end result. The world would be a much better place if all companies did business the way Hammersmith does.

Highly recommend Hammersmith for any roofing needs. I was taken care of in an extremely timely manner, and the scope of work was assessed and completed with a 4 day window from the initial contact. The two reps that came out were informative, and helped educate me as to what was going on as they worked. I will be using Hammersmith Roofers next time for any of my properties roofing needs!

As a first time homeowner, I could not be more pleased with the care and service from Hammersmith Roofing. I have been very nervous and cautious learning the ropes of homeownership. From the initial estimate and communication with the team to the day of service at my home, I was impressed by the ease and quality of the work. I was prepared to wait a couple weeks for service given the busy time period but they embodied the phrase “under-promise and overdeliver.” They were able to get out to my home and repair the roof so quickly. While at my home, I made a couple additional requests, and they were able to accommodate and address the change orders quickly and without issue. Additionally, while working on the roof, they identified a couple other issues they could remediate. I was so thankful for their service going above and beyond to make my new home safe and all fixed up.

They replaced the roof on my restaurant. Really worked around my schedule, and the rain, to get it installed. They coordinated w/ the electricians to move my Equiptment temporarily too. They made it easy and the price was a great value. Excellent work. Really great temporary patching too that stopped the leaking while they got in materials. All accurate quotes, times, and nice people too.

Working with Justin and his team at Hammersmith has been a highlight of our recent addition/renovation. Not only is the Hammersmith team immensely talented, attentive and kind, but it's clear that Justin is out to make a difference in his industry through the way he's built Hammersmith and how he conducts business. I truly cannot recommend Hammersmith highly enough!

Tim McHugh

The Hammersmith team did a fantastic job repairing our slate roof. From the estimate, to scheduling, to the work, everyone we dealt with was professional and responsive. The drone footage of the completed roof work by Kelly was also a nice touch! Would definitely use Hammersmith again.

Ryan Kennedy

Hammersmith came and did a inspection and repair to my slate roof. Derek did a great job of explaining the repairs needed, process and the breakdown of the materials. The team that fixed the damages did a great job as well. Will definitely use again for future needs.

Marshall Norton Jr.

Hammersmith did a wonderful job repairing and replacing the roof on our home and our garage. They were quick about communicating changes to the invoice due to fluctuations in materials costs as well as additional materials and labor cost due to dry rot they encountered in our garage. Highly recommended!

If you've got a slate roof, this is who you want to do the work.

Hammersmith completed our roof inspection and the necessary repairs quickly and and affordably. They are very responsive via phone, email, and text, and did a great job keeping me informed of scheduling updates and their progress during the repairs.

Hammersmith's work was $2,800 less than another quote I received, and include a more thorough check of my roof and a more feel-good experience.

Justin and the entire staff at Hammersmith are fantastic. Aside from being extremely professional, they actually care about the details. This is not easy to find in a roofing company. We have two types of roofing and live in a very old home, and Hammersmith had specialist for each roof come to ensure the job was done right and quickly! As a realtor and homeowner, I would highly recommend them!

John Accordino

Hammersmith applied their expertise and took the time to do a very good inspection of the roof. They found issues that previous roofers did not and they diagnosed a long-standing problem.

They are a very knowledgeable roofing contracting business, especially with old slate roofs. I will definitely use their services again.
Everyone I dealt with from this company was professional, upbeat, very mannerly and polite from the office staff to the people out in the field. Plus the roofers actually performing the repairs on my roof "whistle while they work". I give this roofing company out of four.

Hammersmith Contracting was referred to me to fix a roof leak. They were able to fit me into there schedule very quickly. Kelly their project manager was very professional and responsive to my emails. The workers were knowledgeable and professional, they fixed the leak in no time. I definitely would recommend them for a roof replacement or repair.

Chris Martin

I’m so glad I found Hammersmith and Justin to help us with our slate roof repairs. They were the first roof repair folks to tell us we didn’t need to get rid of the slate and replace our roof. His team was fast and professional, and the price was fair.

They replaced a bunch of slates and all of the flashing around our roof. The leaks we were dealing with have stopped. I plan on calling them back every year or so for maintenance.

I contracted with Hammersmith Contracting to build an outdoor porch and outdoor fireplace. From the first meeting through the end of the project, Justin was thorough, communicated throughout and always responsive. The entire experience was excellent. There was always a keen attention to detail to ensure the project met / achieved expectations. I would highly recommend Hammersmith.

We used Hammersmith to replace the low slope roof on our historic Fan District home and garage. They are one of the best home contractors with whom we have worked. We highly recommend them for anyone considering roof replacement or repair.

From the first interaction to the last Justin and Kelly were excellent in the quality and timeliness of their communications. The quality of the work and care taken to keep a clean job site was excellent. We had a very small punch list at the end of our project which was addressed immediately. Simply a cut above the rest.

We used Hammersmith to repair our slate roof. The company was very professional and provided quality work. They were also very responsive to any problems or questions we had. Would definitely choose them again for any roofing needs.

Originally called Hammersmith for a roof leak. Upon making the repair, it was pointed out that there was a fair amount of wind damage to my roof. As soon as I was cleared for a new roof via insurance claim, Justin had a team ready to replace my roof on the first day of good weather.

Met with Justin on 3 different occasions and he was always on time and communicated when he was on the way. He was always available to answer questions or address concerns via phone or text. Would definitely recommend!

We used Hammersmith for slate roof maintenance and replacement of a flat roof, and will definitely be using them again for any future work. The system they use for scheduling appointments is very easy and convenient. Justin was wonderful to work with. He’s knowledgeable and trustworthy. His quote was half the price of another company, and he was clear about what needed to be done and why vs optional work we could do for aesthetic reasons. His quote was also extremely detailed in describing the work that would be performed (down to the type of nails and screws that would be used), which gave me confidence that Hammersmith does things the right way. Justin provided pictures of the finished work, and we believe it is high quality. There was one issue where the old roofing material was not removed right away (apparently due to miscommunication between the slate crew and flat roof crew), but Justin had it taken care of ASAP when we notified him. Finally, they use Quickbooks for billing, which made that process easy and convenient. Highly recommend Hammersmith for any slate or flat roof repair or replacement.

Justin was extremely helpful along with everyone at Hammersmith! He answered a very early and concerned call from me regarding our leaking roof. He came out same day and everything after that was equally as prompt and prioritized. We were always kept in the loop and are very happy with the work done. He went above and beyond to be sure during these hot days and rainy days his team and our roof were taken care of, which we know is a a difficult balance. I highly recommend Hammersmith Contracting!

Hammersmith was referred to us by some close friends for roofing work and we could not be happier with the results. The team was quick, informative, and the quality of work was far beyond what I was expecting. The correspondence during the process was fantastic, and they answered any and all questions we had to alleviate any of our stresses during the build. We will certainly be contacting them again for any exterior work we need in the future. 10/10

I have a natural slate roof with loose tiles and was referred to Justin. He responded immediately and explained the intricacies of slate roofs and what is needed to repair them. I appreciated his knowledge with this material and especially how to maintain their quality. Work was scheduled in a short amount of time and finished earlier than expected - even with a unexpected snag. Justin made sure the work was to his impeccable standards. I highly recommend Hammersmith Contracting Co.

We were referred by friends to Hammersmith and we are so glad we went with them! Justin came out promptly and gave us an accurate estimate. Even with all the rain we have been getting, they were able to get us in quickly and finished the roof within a day. The guys did a great job on the roof and also cleaned up after themselves and did a thorough sweep with the magnet for any metal that could have fallen. We have not found any debris on the ground. I got multiple quotes from different companies and Justin was by far the most down to earth and honest guy we met! The pricing was great too, and the work was quality! I would highly recommend anyone looking for a roof replacement to use Hammersmith!

After a mishap with their answering service, they more than made up for it. Great professionalism, great responsiveness. Look forward to working with them on the next project!

I had this company do some repair work that was caused by shotty work from another company. Justin showed me and explained exactly what happened and what was needed. When I needed work on my rental property I went back to Hammersmith. On my rental property I had him do repair work on the main house and put a new roof on my garage. Justin is fantastic. I have used hundreds of companies through the years on various homes and I can honestly say Justin is one of the best. Detail oriented, responsive, quality work and reasonable. I always know what I'm getting and when it will be completed. He follows up and checks behind his workers. Highly recommend.

Justin and his team completed roof replacements on my primary residence and an investment property in the last 8 months. Was fair on price, communicated well, and was pleased with the overall quality of the job.

When choosing a roofing company, consider their experience, customer reviews, warranty offerings, and quality of materials.

6. How do you know if your roofing contractor is ripping you off?
+-

Warning signs that your roofing contractor might be ripping you off include vague contracts, pressure to pay large upfront deposits, lack of proper documentation, and unexplained price increases. Always ask for itemized estimates and written guarantees, and avoid contractors who avoid answering your questions directly.
