Michael T review about company Becker’s Roofing | Siding and Chimney Contractors

I interviewed roughly 10 area roofing firms. Many of them are inter-related (Paddy's owner is the uncle of the owner of another firm, etc). Beckers was not the lowest bidder but was fair and had a professional and comprehensive proposal. The replaced my cedar shake roof with a synthetic slate roof that looks absolutely real and stunning. It comes with a transferrable 50-year warranty. The Beckers--father and son team--were consummate professionals throughout. What impressed me most about the Beckers is how they stand by their work, and their commitment to make things right if they are responsible. I have two examples worth sharing. First, they neglected to install ice breaks on my roof. It was not in the scope of work in our agreement. This resulted in damage to my copper rain gutters. After I raised the issue with them, the Beckers installed high quality ice breaks all over the roof at no charge. Second, we had a leak in our house that our insurance claims adjustor blamed on the cricket and flashing where the roof met the chimney. The Beckers inspected it and concluded it was the chimney, not the roofing. The insurance team was adamant, and they spent thousands repairing the designated area. A few weeks later we had Biblical rains. The leak returned. It was the chimney all along. The insurance company wouldn't pay for the chimney as they had "fixed" the problem earlier. Had they listened to the Beckers, I wouldn't have had another $15,000 in costs replacing a chimney and repairing water damage. Solid team who know their craft and give fair prices and reasonable time lines. By far the best combination of value and professionalism in the greater Wilmington area.
