Roofing, Gutters, Siding

Sara Sciulli says: „TLDR - EAS quoted us using the same materials as a national big box company for half the price, so we went with them. They did an amazing job.
Full story - EAS did a wonderful job replacing our roof. We had three companies come and give us estimates. A big box company, EAS, and a private contractor. The big box company came first, and I'm glad they did. They were so very pushy, we somehow allowed them to convince us to come out the very next day (we went to the Pittsburgh home and garden show specifically to find someone to replace our roof and found all three of these places at the show) The big box company did a very thorough inspection of our roof, showed us many photos that they took during the inspection and talked to us in length about possible issues that might come up and what they expected to be issues when the old shingles were actually removed. (We ended up needing an entire redecking) The Big box company was here for over 3 hours and it was a VERY long visit, but it really helped us understand what all goes into replacing a roof and specifically what the issues were with our roof. EAS came next, then the contractor. Both quotes from EAS and the private contractor were very similar. With the knowledge we had from the first visit from the big box company we kind of knew what to look for with regard to what work may need done when EAS and the private contractor both came. We ended up going with EAS because they were going to do the exact same work that the big box company was going to do but it was half the price. Same materials, same venting, same flashings, same gutters but honestly 1/2 the price of the big box company. Also, the big box company tried to push us to make a decision right away, then offered a small discount if we made our decision right then, but it was our very first quote and we did what any responsible homeowner would do and got multiple quotes. I'm definitely not into the pushy sales people. I did appreciate the thorough inspection but not the astronomical price and the pushiness to make a decision right away. Also with the "discount" that the big box company offered, it was still $10,000 more than both of the two other quotes. If you need a roof replaced, I recommend doing the same thing we did. Get multiple quotes, make an informed decision. If you want to know what big box company we had, I don't want to call them out specifically but I'll let you know they told us they have a sales booth at BJ's wholesale and they said that they don't even need to do advertising because they are so good and word of mouth gets them business. They are a national business all over the United States. EAS replaced our roof in one day, did the gutters the next day. The crew was great, they cleaned everything up. EAS sent us multiple emails in advance so we were 'prepared' for it and knew what to expect. Scott that came out and gave us the quote was just a regular guy who wasn't trying to push every bell and whistle. He was very honest with the different levels of shingles and materials and wasn't pushy. We were very comfortable choosing EAS and I highly recommend adding them to your roof replacement option if you're in the market for a new roof...“ Show more
