I needed a new roof for a while, my house was raining shingles from its original, 17 year old roof since powerful storms last year (luckily, no leaks). I have been agonizing for a while which company to choose - one of the big, established guys, supposedly getting quality work and long-time warranty, or a smaller, leaner and meaner operation (Colorful) which did several houses on our street. The whole idea of covering a roof with shingles made of trash and tar, IMO, is ridiculous - in Europe and throughout much of the world better roofing systems are used, which last for centuries. At the end, I decided that there's no point investing in supposedly better work and longer warranty, as in 10-15 years it's unlikely any roofing or shingle company will be honoring their obligations anymore. For those who are aware, there are ongoing class action lawsuits across North America now against 'organic' shingle manufacturers. How long their current shingles will last, it's anyone's guess. So, for the price Colorful Roofing charges, I could do my roof twice in 25-30 years their supposed warranty runs.
I was pleasantly surprised by the work this company has done. All important details were discussed upfront, arrived early for work, did everything quickly and efficiently, meticulously cleaned up after themselves! No prepayments or deposits, very reasonable price, they are insured, listed on BBB, and offer written contracts and written 10 year warranty. Great work Colorful, highly recommended!
