Here's my experience with Champion Roofing for an asphalt shingle replacement project in 2020. 1. The crew was 4 men who did not speak English. Maybe one about half. Could not communicate with them during the work. 2. I have a steep pitch roof. Workers supported their weight in our rain gutters at times damaging (bowing) them. CR refused to repair. 3. Cleanup was bad. Found many original fasteners scattered about our deck and driveway after they were done and gone. 4. Contract included replacing our bathroom vent in kind. First try they put the original back on. Second try replaced with a generic covering not anything like the original. Third try they got it right. read more

Brent and his team did a terrific job. Their pricing was very reasonable, the workmanship top notch and their clean up was well done. In addition, my new roof looks great! read more

We hired Champion Roofing after incurring storm damage. Our entire roof, gutters and downspouts were replaced. Champion roofing was a pleasure to work with. The administrative side of the business was polite and very helpful. Champion Roofing worked along side the insurance adjuster and you could see the respect each side had for the other. The labor side was so impressive, working tirelessly for 5 to 6 days to complete the roof alone. The gutter and downspout team was the same. All friendly and respectful of us and our property. I would not hesitate to hire Champion Roofing again for any roofing need. read more

Had a tricky roof pitch and valley issue following a remodeling job. Champion did estimate, and showed pictures of work in progress to correct the problem. read more

We had our roof replaced by them a couple of years ago. They did a great job! The warranty is almost hard to believe - hoping we can depend on them if something goes awry. I guess time will tell. They were very meticulous cleaning up nails, etc. after the job was done and the company that they sent for new spouting and gutters was just as fantastic! Definitely a positive experience! read more

This is my experience with Champion Roofing, LLC in Altoona. They are popular company in the Altoona, PA area, and for good reason. Their work is fantastic - and they do a lot of community outreach that genuinely helps others. However, if disaster strikes and insurance gets involved, be prepared for a company owner who seems unfamiliar with how insurance claims go. While they were working on my roof, rain was predicted (over 30%), but they scraped the shingles off of my very large roof regardless thinking that the felt would hold off any rain. Well, it rained and the crew went to eat breakfast. But this was a torrential rain, and my wife was frantically dealing with waterfalls in the house and trying to get the crew back on site to help. The damage was extensive covering the entire house from end to end totaling over $20,000 in damages. When the shingling work was done, the owner called me at work demanding payment for the job with this mess still unresolved and without even letting me come home and look at the finished work - this made me feel like he just wanted the money ASAP(something like "this is a family business...I need to make payroll and pay for materials....") and was going to leave me with dealing with the mess... which is pretty much what happened. We paid them in full in hopes that we'd work out the issues. However, the company owner had to be convinced to get his insurance involved and that the damage was far more than a fan was going to dry out - it took me sending a video of water still running out of our ceiling 24 hours later. We lost all of our upper floor insulation and ceilings, insulation and tiles in a drop down ceiling in our garage,first floor ceilings where it ran through the walls, etc. We had elevated utility bills due to the humidity, heat (July-September), no ceilings, and no insulation. We lost our vacation this summer as we had to facilitate inspectors, insurance adjusters, and contractors for months. The initial job cost $21,000 for a 60 square roof - but tack on the $20,000+ physical damages, the displaced family, ruined vacation, utility bills, still dealing with it in January.... I felt alone in trying to recover from this disaster. I don't think it was fair for them to expect full payment and have me foot the bill (beyond what insurance covered) before it was straightened out. Here's what I know what Champion did. **They blamed Owens Corning for faulty felt - not sure how that even worked out - maybe it is, maybe it isn't - but they evidently thought it was good enough to keep using on at least 75% of the house before they decided days later to use their normal felt. **The blamed their distributor for providing felt that was not their standard material. **They told me I had to just wait for insurance to work it out. Well, that's not possible as I'd still be here in a wet, stinky, probably moldy and ruined home - the insurance companies are still trying to work it out between each other (6 months later). We had to file a claim with our insurance and get a disaster recovery team out ASAP and begin the tear out and repair. Waiting 6+ months to see what they will do is not a reasonable response/approach to this - and our mortgage lender was also notified...so if we waited as instructed, we would be held liable for negligence in dealing with protecting this investment. **With Champion blaming Owens Corning but still covering 75% of our roof with the "faulty material," I wanted to know my warranty (manufacturer and installer) was still going to be honored. No matter how many times I asked, I could not get an answer, so I had to file a consumer complaint with the PA Attorney General. That resulted in getting the answer (but not after a lot of back and forth) as well as my deductible returned (yes, I still had to pay the $2500 deductible to even get started in recovering!). I'm appreciative that I got both, but so very frustrated that it took all of that to make it happen. **Champion traded a lot of texts with me - to my own admission, I got really frustrated at times, but still think I was a tad justified. But the responses from Champion showed no ownership of the issue but a lot of unbelievable defensive posturing and finger pointing. Not something you would expect from a company you trusted and the job was botched so very badly!! If you choose Champion, they will probably do a very good job on the roof - mine looks great. But if damages occur resulting in having to get insurance involved, good luck. This was a miserable experience for us - hopefully Champion learned how this works. I do not doubt a rebuttal will be posted - that's one of the reasons I've saved every text/email in the event that this experience is portrayed as inaccurate. read more
