Great work!

Planchon Roofing is THE company to call for replacing your roof.

Finding a reliable roofer is not easy and after 59 years the roof of the house and garage had to be replaced.

After lots of research on the Web and getting input and names from friends and acquaintances

I had 4 companies on my list. I first went with Planchon Roofing, because this company was recommended by a very finicky friend.

The next day they came out to check the roof and give us a tentative bid. After I received the bid in writing I did not need to go any further. It was supposed to be a 2-day job, but because of the extensive dry-rot (20 hrs to replace the wood alone), it took 4 days. We also had insulation installed and gutters.

The workers were very efficient and quiet (no yelling, blaring radios or wasting time on the phone). They also were meticulous and even painted the ends of the wood to coincide with the color of the house. It was not a rush job.

The price was very reasonable and I recommend this company to everyone.

Fast and Excellent

by lynnert at Citysearch

These guys were reasonably priced and did an excellent job of doing the roof and dealing with the city. It was fast and very well done. I think big jobs like a roof are probably a lot more interesting to them than finding a small, difficult, leak, based on the review. They saved me more than 10 thousand dollars though in terms of the bids we got.

I have only had great experiences with this company!

I am a real estate broker and have referred Planchon to many buyers and sellers, they were all very satisfied. Planchon does good work, at very competitive prices. I certainly would recommend them and encourage you to include them in the bidding of roof repairs and full replacement of your roof.

DON'T USE THIS COMPANY. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR

by summer52 at Citysearch

I gave this company a call to come and check a leak that I had in my roof that they had installed. I had to make several phone calls to get someone to come. The woman that answered the phone was not knowledgable and kept saying she'd have someone to call me back. Finally I got one of the owners, I'm guessing he was one of the owners his last name was Planchon. He was nice and took all of the information and said he would come out himself. I was happy until the door bell rang and it was someone else that they sent which had "no" idea why he was there. None of the information had been relayed to him. After explaining the leak, the damage to my furniture etc. to him, he said...oh..I didn't bring the proper equiptment to check that and I can't go on top of the roof. Well..duh..why did he even come. So he made a phone call and then told me asked me if I would be home later that afternoon. I told him yes. He said someone else would be comming that could get the job done and patch the leak and cover with a tarp since it was supose to rain that night. Well no one showed up. So I called again and got the same un-knowledgeable woman on the phone which gave me the same run-around. I was very disgusted and getting a little angry at that point. So the next day, a man came to my home without an appointment and said he was there to do the work. I just couldn't believe this! However being desperite at this point I cancelled every thing else that day so that he could do the work. They were suppose to do a water test to see where the leak was comming from but didn't. When I asked the guy to do one he got mad at me. I asked for his bus. card he really got mad then. Needless to say this was all a very bad experience and I would never use them or recommend them again. Now are you ready..here's the last straw. My insurance company needed proof that someone came out to do the work and when I called them to get something in writing, they had no record of ever being there. Wow..how awful.

• Pros: prices are ok, but you get what you pay for
• Cons: rude workers, bad experience
