Quality Roof, but Frustrating Experience
Update:
The roof looks great, and the barn doors are better than before. However, delays and communication issues made the process frustrating. That said, the finished work is good quality.
After reading Roof Vets' reply to my review (see original review below), I feel compelled to address some inaccuracies. There was no rain during the roofing project (October 10-12, 2024), and the temperatures were mild—not excessively hot as they claimed. Their response tries to dispute my experience with false excuses instead of taking accountability.
I hope Roof Vets learns from this situation: communicate clearly, don’t change plans without informing the customer, and most importantly, don’t make false claims to cover mistakes. Take responsibility and choose to improve.
3 stars.

Frustration, Delays, and Unkept Promises: My Experience with Roof Vets
———
I have had a very frustrating experience working with Roof Vets for both a roof replacement and a barn door installation. Initially, I was told the roof would be replaced the following week and completed in one day. However, it wasn’t started for three weeks, and after much follow-up on my part, it ended up taking three days to complete—not one. I had explained that I needed to be home with my dogs, one of whom has a heart condition, to ensure they stayed calm during the work. I spoke with Moses and let him know when I needed to be gone and he assured me the work would be completed before my appointment. Despite this, the roof wasn’t finished by the time I had to leave, and my dogs were left alone with the loud, stressful noise.
On the first day of work, the roofers were seen spending a long time on the side of the house while only one person was actually working on the roof. At first, we gave them the benefit of the doubt, thinking they might have been on a break, but given how long the job took and the overall poor service, I’m now more inclined to think otherwise.
Additionally, the cleanup was an issue. I had to call twice to request that the nails be picked up, and even then, we are still finding nails around the property, which is a major safety concern.
As for the barn door, Roof Vets had agreed contractually to manage the installation, even though they are a roofing company. Unfortunately, the lack of communication and follow-through on this has been appalling. I was promised multiple times that someone would get in touch with me, but I’ve had to follow up each time with no results. I was told I’d receive barn door options by Thursday last week, but nothing came through. The home owner also called on Friday to remind Moses to reach out, but still no follow-up. I’ve spoken with Moses every time except for Saturday when I didn’t get an answer, and again on Monday when he texted saying he’d call me back but never did.
The continuous delays, lack of follow-through, and unfulfilled promises are beyond frustrating. I understand that things don’t always go perfectly, but what’s most frustrating is the complete lack of communication and realistic timelines. I had hoped for a professional, reliable service, but unfortunately, that hasn’t been the case with Roof Vets.
One star because the roof at least looks nice.
