Armtrout’s Custom Roofing

We just had our roof replaced by Armtrout’s Custom Roofing. We asked around before we got quotes and Joe Armtrout’s name came up several times. His quote was competitive, his workmanship was top notch, and he was extremely patient with all of our questions. We highly recommend Armtrout’s Custom Roofing.
A roofing project goes through several phases. Before we selected a roofer, Joe would drop off samples, return our calls, and gave us an estimate when he said he would. Apparently it is common for contractors to be inconsistent with their «customer service». That is, calls go unanswered, appointments get missed, and quotes are ignored. Joe did none of these. He showed up when he said he would and told us exactly how much the job would cost.
The actual work took three and a half days. Our house had two layers of old roofing that had to come off before the new roof could go on. His tear-​off crew was prompt, efficient, and clean. They put tarps everywhere to catch the errant debris. Six guys had the old roofing off and ready for the new plywood in three hours. The tear off revealed some dry rot (one of the extras I mentioned) that had to be replaced. Joe worked with us so we could prime the replacement boards before he nailed them up. This really helped us get a head start on the repainting that we knew our eaves needed anyway.
As the project proceeded, it was evident that Joe really cared about making sure we were happy with the work he was doing. He went out of his way to explain the different looks he could accomplish with the details of the job. The valleys of the roof now have a beautiful hand-​woven look. The flue pipes are capped with an unusual galvanized cap that we really like. He was careful in placing the roof vents, selecting a style and location to minimize their appearance.
We needed to have our gutters replaced and Joe gave us options that other roofers don’t seem to care about. Our new seamless gutters have a profile and color combination that we have yet to see on any other house. We kept some of our old galvanized downspouts and opted for a couple of new unusual round downspouts for special locations.
We do most of our home improvement projects ourselves, so we are hesitant to hire strangers to do the work we can’t do. Joe kept the work site clean, didn’t have a noisy radio blaring, and was considerate our neighbors. We are very happy that we chose Armtrout’s Custom Roofing and we recommend Joe and his crew without any reservations.
