Mountain Goat Roofing was introduced to us by Homeowners Club.
Excellent attention-to-detail, knowledge of housing codes, awareness of potential issues -- and a professional crew.
Introduced to us by Homeowners Club, Mountain Goat Roofing stood out from the 3 roofers that examined our 37 year old house, last roofed 20 years ago.
All 3 roofers climbed on the roof and examined it during their first meeting with us.
The other 2 roofers stopped there, and provided estimates that removed/replaced the roof.
The representative from Mountain Goat -- who was the president/owner, Aza -- took additional steps as described below, while keeping his price competitive:
- Took a look at our attic to verify the construction of the "chalet" roofed portioned of the house.
- Since building codes had changed since our house was built, he included the addition of a small "cricket roof" behind our chimney in the re-roofing work. This prevents buildup of debris behind the chimney by ensuring that rain washes leaves, etc, off the roof instead of trapping them next to the chimney.
- Noticed that the ceiling of our kitchen had been raised (by us), and that this changed the air flow in the area between the roof and the ceiling. He included establishing improved air flow in the re-roofing work.
- Provided a list over several pages of houses in the area his company had re-roofed, with information on the color and type of tile used. This allowed us to see how some of the colors looked in the "real" world, and helped us decide on the color for our house.
- A gutter on an upper roof drained on a lower roof. The water then flowed over that lower roof into another gutter. Moss tended to grow where that water flowed. Aza said he would improve the situation, and his crew installed a piece of gutter pipe between the upper spout and the lower roof gutter after installing the new roof. MOREOVER, though I had expressed hope that the color of this new piece of gutter would match the (black) roof color and not the white of the existing gutter, I didn't expect it would be possible. Pleasant surprise - Mountain Roof painted the new pipe black to match the roof. Looks great!
- We wanted the roofer to install small pieces of wood under our eaves to cover a gap between the soffits and the roof. Mountain Goat was the only roofer who said (and without my even asking for it) that they would paint the wood pieces to match the house color. We provided Aza the paint color codes, and thus his team was able to install pre-painted wood strips and (where needed) replacement soffits. The other roofers planned to install white-primed wood and leave the painting to me. (Aza also gave me the leftover paint.)
- There was a small gap in the side of the house near the roof, a potential attic entry point for insects. Mountain Goat caulked and painted it over. Aza and I had discussed it, but it was not included it in the estimate. The work was so minor I frankly didn't expect it to be remembered or done. To my surprise, his crew did the work without being prompted.
The on-site Mountain Goat workers were unobtrusive. During the work I talked with several of them, and found them unfailingly polite and positive.
Very happy with the work on our roof by Mountain Goat! read more
