Testimonials
Just signed contract and did not bother taking anyone else seriously. Sure, two bids were a few hundred lower. But no one was half as on time, professional, and knowledgeable. All questions about every aspect of the challenges of my repair were handled. The estimater spent a half-hour answering all my questions. He never insulted my intelligence or (limited) knowledge of roofing. What finally sealed the deal was when I called the Better Business Bureau. All the other bidders had major unresolved complaints, and Chets rose above the rest. yes, the price was high but the service and professionalism was worth it.
I have used Chet's before so they are my go-to roofing company. They were low pressure in the bid process, very agreeable to making changes to the bid and working with the office staff as well as the installers was wonderful. They explained the process well so I knew exactly what to expect, they were timely, did a great job with the clean up each day and completed the job in the time-frame they had estimated. I recommend them to my clients in my real estate business and I have had several positives experiences with them on my own personal homes. The new roof is beautiful. I feel like I'm in a new house.
My neighbors tell me they had a roof envy. Chet's is fantastic.
My wife and I are hard shoppers who demand the best workmanship and materials. Of course we are looking for the lowest price but what we really want is the best value. Our 1908 house on the top of Queen Anne Hill needed its fourth roof resurface 20 years ago. We received over nine quotes followed by countless phone calls.
We began getting estimates a year ago for a traditional shingle roof. We wanted the best that would last forever, at least well past our death. We met with Chet's roofing representative, he was most polite and a good communicator, clean and well-kept too.
I was given a quote for traditional shingle roof with a great warrantee at a reasonably low price along with it was a quote for steel roof from Nu-Ray Metals. I've always wanted a powerfully strong solid steel roof but never thought to ask for it because I couldn't afford it. Their price quote was within our price range and about what some roofers wanted for shingles!
Then we started shopping aluminum and steel roofers for the next six months. Soon we learned raccoons love pulling up aluminum and then ripping up the underlay. We have had raccoons ripping through our shingle roof in recent years. Series 5000 is first zinc coated 24gauge steel panels with a Kynar cool technology coat of color of your choice. We picked cool blue..
Everybody who showed up from Chet, start to finish,spoke English, worked as a team, with proper safety harnesses and a positive attitude. The roof rippers worked like agile monkeys, careful yet fast. The next crew shows up a day later to strengthen and cover the roof in plywood. Next came a pad. Finally cut to fit, screwed down, snap together, rustproof steel panels. Multiple roof vents were traded for one long vent down the length of our house, sexy. Cutting steel is noisy.
Our old house needed some wood work done adjacent to different parts of the roof. Chet's carpenters are tops. They matched each piece of wood unbelievably well, I mean it looked brand-new yet 1908 style. So I asked if they could fix up the wood trim and shingles around our dormer. Oh my God a masterpiece of craftsmanship. Once you find such polite craftsman who do such a good job you don't want to lose them so we spent a touch over budget to have them fix trim and siding adjacent to our foundation and fireplace.
Yes we shopped gutters too with equal madness. Chet's price for 6 inch half round beat everybody. Most gutter contractors couldn't even do the better half round type. If they did the price was ridiculous.
We have a deep respect for Chet and all his craftsman,coworkers and subcontractors. Chet's was the best. When their work was complete our property and our neighbors property was well cleaned. Okay yes bit by bit we have found a little of the old roof caught in the bamboo or other ground cover but that really was the worst.
Just like the Seahawks a great coach brings together great players Chet is the Pete Carroll of roofing and his team worked their magic art across our roof. We are so completely pleased with the detail and quality of work and products used. This is the most ecological roof possible besides collecting condensation in the wee hours and filling rain barrels in a way that no composite shingle roof would.
After six months it remains spotless,quiet inside and out, we love it.
Sincerely, Ash
Initial roof replacement completed by Chet's Roofing in Sept, '99.
No problems since, other than moss which we controlled.
Recently developed leek which stained ceiling.
I contacted Chet's, not even sure if they were still in business, they came out promptly, raced up to the roof, applied goo (; affixed flashing, etc. all at NO charge.
Hopefully this will fix the problem, we'll determine during next big rain.
I would definitely do business with/recommend Chet's roofing in the future.
I am extremely pleased with this company! I saw their truck in my neighbors driveway, putting on a new roof. I went and talked to the neighbors and they were thrilled with the company. I contacted them and they came out the next day and provided an estimate. I already had two estimates and they came in lower than those (one of them was supposed to be a good buddy discount through a family member's friend). We scheduled it and they came out and performed the work promptly and professionally!. A couple days later the owner, Chet came out and did a final inspection. He found three things (all minor) that he did not like about the job. He made a guy come out the next day and fix them. I am not much of a writer, but I can honestly not say enough good things about this company. I would recommend them to anyone!
