Blue Bird Roofing is a 10/10 company to work with. They are a small family-owned business that is…read moreeasy to communicate with - super responsive and just really friendly honest guys, they show up when they say they will, pay attention to details, and go above and beyond to get the job done. They stayed on budget and were super reasonable with their cost estimates. If you have damages to your home and need to file an insurance claim, they will advocate for you to ensure you receive every dollar you are owed and repair your property so well you'll never even know it was damaged. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to my friends & family and I will absolutely be calling them again if we ever need more repairs! We hired Blue Bird Roofing (formerly known as Kornerstone Roofing) after our neighbor's tree fell on our house. The tree damaged our upper roof and caused extensive structural damage to our back porch, so we knew we needed a roofing company that could repair more than just our damaged shingles. After calling several local roofing companies I was feeling a little overwhelmed - some wanted to just repair the shingles and subcontract the needed structural repairs, others tried to upsell me on features I wasn't looking for, and others told me they weren't willing to work with the insurance company on our behalf to get the needed repairs covered. Finally, I called Blue Bird Roofing and I am so glad I did!!! The owner came out the next day and did a thorough inspection of the damages, both on the interior and exterior of my home, with pictures to show me where repairs were needed. Even though there was snow & ice on our roof he didn't hesitate to get up there and look around, and when he found damaged shingles on our 2nd story roof causing a leak into our attic he sent someone the next day to chisel away the ice to patch our roof so we wouldn't get any more water damage up there. He was confident his company could make the structural repairs we needed and was willing to take over communication with my insurance company to get our claim paid, so I didn't even need to talk to the insurance anymore which was a big relief! After waiting months for the insurance to approve our claim they finally did and the owner of Blue Bird Roofing was able to pursuade them to cover the cost of all the damages which was amazing! The Blue Bird Roofing team got to work right away on making the needed repairs. They put a new roof on our porch, repaired damaged rafters and beams, fixed cracked and water damaged trim, repaired torn screens, replaced a piece of damaged aluminum siding on our house, installed new gutters and guards, installed new siding, really they did everything that needed to be done so our porch looked exactly like it did before the tree fell. The Blue Bird Roofing team worked all day and came back the following evening to do more repairs. The owner even spent several hours on a rainy Saturday doing detailed repairs inside our porch because he wanted everything to look perfect. Not to mention the repairs we needed for our 2nd story roof - new shingles, new gutters and guards, opening a ridge vent that had never been cut to ensure our roof had better ventilation, new flashing around our chimneys, new trim - new everything. He even installed missing cross beams in our attic (at my request) so our house could have more structural support under the roof. Honestly our roof has never been more sturdy and has never looked better! If you are looking to update or repair your roof then look no further, you won't regret hiring the Blue Bird Roofing team!

I put out a Yelp request to get estimates on some work for my home. As Yelp does, it contacted…read moremultiple companies. Mr. Rooter was the first to call me, and schedule for an estimate. I mentioned that we are selling the house and we were looking to repair an issue with the water pressure for the new owners. The plumber that came by called me and told me his recommendations. Two days later, I received an estimate for much more than what was recommended on the phone, and an invoice for the estimate itself. I responded questioning that estimate charge, because it wasn't mentioned in advance, and why there was work on the estimate that we were told we wouldn't need. The woman that responded was nice with her explanations, but it still doesn't sit right with me to charge for an estimate, or to not say that ahead of time. A week later, she called to follow up, and I told her because it was a Yelp thing, someone else was taking a look for us and I would be in touch if we wanted to continue with them; or I would pay the invoice for the estimate online. The other company that came told us everything Mr. Rooter had added to their estimate was not needed. If those things were a problem, we would have no water. So it would have been a waste of money. Two weeks later, after not reaching out to me again to follow up, she called my realtor and threatened to put a lien on our house, and interfere with the sale, if we don't pay the $200 estimate fee! That is extremely unprofessional! and $200 is very high, considering it cost your company nothing in parts, etc, and your employee was only at my home for 16 minutes. I am far from happy with my experience. Tyler, their plumber, was great! He seemed to know exactly what it was talking about, he was very nice on the phone and professional. But their office is a disaster and the customer service is a 1/10. To respond.. I never spoke tot Tyler over the phone regarding the bill, nor was I ever rude to him in any manner. I was never told in advance about any fees for estimates, so I would love to hear the recorded call you claim you have. I also responded to the email with the invoice for the estimate that I was unaware of a charge for it, and the response I received was "yes, that was our failure to communicate." I also did not say I would be using the estimate in negotiations for my sale, so it was not a "real estate estimate." It was a homeowner trying to get work done on their home. And the work is the home needs IS being done, by someone else. You are simply unhappy that I got multiple estimates done, and chose someone else, which I have every right to do, whether I am selling the home or not. Good luck to you and your corporate business.

Excellent Driveway Repair by Pave Star…read more About six years ago, I had a company do my driveway, but unfortunately, they now only handle commercial projects. Over time, a strange issue developed--a small hole appeared in the middle of the driveway and expanded into a 4-inch-long tunnel. After consulting several people, the consensus was that it might have been caused by a collapsed chipmunk tunnel beneath the surface. As the hole grew and became a safety concern, I contacted multiple companies for quotes. I ultimately chose Pave Star because they seemed the most knowledgeable and genuinely committed to customer satisfaction--and I'm thrilled with the results! The team cut out a larger rectangular section around the affected area and repaired it meticulously. While any driveway patch will always be somewhat noticeable, their work is exceptional. The rectangle is perfectly straight, the patch is level with the rest of the driveway, and they took great care in tamping down the filler materials to ensure durability. The cost was $600, and I feel it was absolutely worth it. The rest of my driveway is still in pristine condition, and Pave Star's repair has left it safe and looking great. Thank you, Pave Star, for your professionalism and high-quality work! -- Lynda Minarzick
