I thought everything was good, I thought the work was good. They completed it in one day like they said they would. The cleanup was good, you couldn't tell they were even here. They handled all the hauling of the waste material. 

Business response:

Thank you very much for taking the time to provide a phone report on your experience with us. We appreciate the comments, especially regarding the timeliness of completion and the fact that you couldn't tell we were there. We like that. We pride ourselves on doing everything possible to leave your property as we found it, only with a new roof. We wish you many dry and happy years in your home and are grateful for your business.

AJ Rose did an excellent job. They were able to do the work sooner than what we had discussed; managed to get everything done within two days; and were particularly great about cleaning up. I have a dog and extensive gardens and told them I was both concerned about the dog and avoiding having him step on sharp objects; as well as the garden. I have yet to find a nail or any other debris from the job. <br /> <br /> I wish they would come and take their sign away, but that's a very minor complaint. 

Business response:

Thanks very much for taking the time to write such a nice report on us. We really appreciate it as well as the opportunity to work with you. By the way, we are sending out a request as I write this to the nearest person to your home to swing by and pick up that sign right away. we'll have it taken care of shortly. Thanks very much for trusting us with your home. We wish you many happy and trouble free years in it.

From the first contact with Dan....all the way to the final walk around with Kevin, this was an enjoyable experience. The workers on the day the roof was being installed could not have been more courtesy and extermely hard workers. <br /> <br /> Getting your roof replaced can be scary because you are hoping youpicked the best company to do. I can tell you O'Lyn was fabulous and they were done in one day!!! 

Business response:

Thank you very much for taking the time to write this report. We especially appreciate the fact that you can understand how important it is to have a reputable, professional roofing expert work on your home. There are some excellent roofers out there. But the misdeeds of some reflect poorly on the industry and have enormous implications for homeowners. We're glad we are able to represent the profession in a way that demonstrates how things should always be done. We wish you many happy years in your home.

They did a good job. They cleaned up every day and vacumed for nails in the driveway etc. I am very pleased with their work and I would use them again. 

Business response:

We are very slow moving as far as projects done in our house. The interaction was fine. It was Michael O’lyn who came to give an estimate and he came roughly the time he said he was going to come. He went up and spent very little time looking at the roof and told that the roof was fine and it was chimney that needed repair and he showed us some pictures. I had very minimal time of interaction with him. He was a bit on the buff sided and felt like I was being squeezed in between lot of appointments. He was actually been recom... read more

Business response:

I wanted to respond to you directly regarding this report. First, let me say "thank you" for writing it. I spend as much time as possible with every customer and am confident they get the necessary level of professional attention. Unfortunately, personally attending to all the customers I possibly can requires less formalities than I and the customer would sometimes prefer. Hopefully this will always be offset by the work we do and, in your case, the honest assessment of your roof. I was happy to deliver the good news that i... read more

The whole experience with O'Lyn was very positive. The owner, Michael, arrived on time and provided a quote as well as samples of the materials he planned to use. He's not the typical charming salesman, so don't expect a lot of chit-chat. However, he knows his business and gave me clear answers to my questions about flashing, soffitts, and ridge vents. <br /> <br /> We originally scheduled our roof replacement about 3 weeks out but, due to some cancellations, the foreman contacted us the day after we signed the contract and ... read more

I think they did a terrific job and they were very responsive, prompt and did a good job at clean up also. I think they were a little pricy perhaps but it was a positive service.

We're also glad that you can appreciate the quality and professionalism that we put into our work. Our best regards to you and wishing many happy years in your home.

It was really a pleasure to do business with this company. Mike Olen came to do the estimate and spent some time talking about what we needed to do. He offered me a fair price (close to the estimated price from another roofing contractor whose Angie's List ratings are much lower). O'lyn has been in business for a long time and does a lot of roofs in Newton, so this was a pretty straightforward choice. His foreman Kevin came by the next day with sample shingles, and when I couldn't decide which color would look best from the ... read more

Business response:

Thank you. We appreciate this report very much. You created a great snapshot of how we like to do business; with a personal and responsive touch. We're especially glad you were happy with the price adjustment for the damage done by the container company to your driveway. Sometimes these things happen, and when they do, we make every effort to make up for them. By the way, I actually drove those shingle samples by and dropped them off myself. We wish you many happy years in your home.
