A Better Roofing Company

Jon originally did the flat roof on our house in 2011. We think that cleaning leaves on the roof may have damaged it in one area. Jon came out, repaired it without charge. Quickly, efficiently and before another round of raibn.

John is the most honest, generous and helpful roofer out there. If you want someone who will spend time trying to help the home owner trouble shoot a roof leak, he is the guy. I had John come out twice for different jobs and he suggested a do it yourself diagnostic/​solution/​troubleshooting. I had other roofers trying to redo my roof without even figuring where the leak came from. Thanks John for your first class integrity.

It had been raining hard last week (first week of February 2015). Just wanted to update you on the work Jon and Billy did on my roof. NO MORE LEAKS!!!

After a few estimates from other companies, Jon at A Better Roofing Company came out on top and best of all he truly knows how to run his business! They are on time, on schedule and most of all no hidden fees or price hikes. What the estimate says is what you will be getting! Very easy to work with and he was able to squeeze me into his tight timeline when my roof was leaking. They also do gutters so for all your roofing needs go with Jon and A better Roofing Company! They truly are better!

We had a roof that needed some repair, and interviewed 3 local roofers. A Better Roofing Company had the most reasonable bid, and Jon Morrison able to clearly explain what was needed. Jon followed thru with everything that he said that he would do, and I wouldn’t hesitate to call him in the future for additional work.

They replaced the roof on my mother’s house at ¹⁄₃ the cost of another estimate. This included replacing the gutters and replacing some extensive areas of dry rot. Very pleasant and professional. I had to wait a couple of months after signing the contract because they are very busy but once they started the job they were in and out in a very few days and were a pleasure to deal with.

I could not be more pleased. Jon is a real craftsman. His crew was great. Fast, friendly, efficient, and they left my property nicer than they found it, which is more than I can say for the painting and stucco contractors I have used. Outstanding value, and great service. As happens on construction projects, we did have an issue, but we addressed it and Jon was very fair in dealing with it. No one can fairly promise a perfect job, so please take the foregoing as a sign not that Jon is imperfect, but that he’s a fair, decent businessman. He deserves your business. Take that to the bank. And did I mention his price was WAY better than the 2 other bids I solicited? It was! Just call ABRC already, OK? :-)

Our gutters were recently replaced by Jon. He offered a great product at a competitive price and our gutters look great! He and his assistant were professional and they cleaned up so well when they left, it looked as if no one had been there. I like to support small, local businesses and I would recommend this one.

We have an 11 year old roof we have never had inspected. I asked this company to come and check it out. Jon came within 48 hours and declared the roof sound, but found some pesky small things (that could become large things) he suggested we might want to take care of – missing shingles, caulking, metal plate reinforcement of some gaps, new gutter guards. He gave me a detailed, reasonable bid and was able to complete the work within the next 48 hours. He and his two helpers were efficient and neat in their work. Very professional operation. First rate.

Jon and his team were professional, courteous, and they came and did everything on time as scheduled at the price we were quoted. They cleaned up daily and we couldn’t be happier with our new roof. Jon answered all our questions and communication was great from the estimate to the completed roof.

I left a message first thing in the morning because my roof started leaking the night before. I didn’t hear from them until late afternoon and when it didn’t sound like it was going to be a big job he said he’s way too busy to help.
I don’t buy the other reviews. To me he was just an arrogant jerk.

Jon and his crew replaced my roof in late spring of 2012. I had an aging cedar shake roof, and they removed it and replaced it with one of composition shingle, installing required plywood sheathng, replacing gutters, and installing an attic fan in addition. Jon the owner worked up a complete and competitive bid and identified the intricacies specific to my job early on. His crew worked efficiently and professionally and as a team. They were very responsive to my questions and concerns. They left the work site clean and tidy.
I am very pleased with their work and recommend A Better Roofing Company!

Jon Morrisson from A Better Roofing Company put on a new composition shingle roof for me this summer. I was extremely pleased with the finished job and the service he gave me. It was a big job as multiple layers of shingles (composition and wood) had to be pulled off and a plywood base put down over the entire roof before the shingles, new gutters, eyebrow vents and gutter guards were installed.
I got 4 estimates and his was by far the lowest to a degree that made me a bit nervous at first. So besides reading the reviews on Unilocal I asked for some references I could call, and got glowing reports.
Judging from the differences in hourly rate charged by the various contractors for any dry rot found when the roof was torn off, it became clear why Jon’s bid was so reasonable. Other companies billed at $ 100 to $ 120 an hour, so I can only assume that those were the rates they used when coming up with their overall bids. Jon’s hourly rate for fixing rot was not in his contract, but when I asked him what it was, it was much lower. Since I wanted a roofer and not a rocket scientist, I decided to go with Jon as all reports showed him to be a competent, experienced, ethical guy. I saved about $ 6,000 by doing so (and the materials were the same), and I’m convinced the quality of the roof job is more than fine. Yes, I find some bits of old shingle from time to time in my bushes. The 15 minutes it has taken me to pick up these few things was certainly not worth $ 7,000, and I’m not convinced it would have been any different with another roofing company anyway. The tear off is an inherently messy job.
In any kind of large job there will be issues. What impressed me about Jon was that when I pointed something out to him he was generally already on top of it. During the tear off process some debris got into a solar tube, which could only be seen from inside the house, and when I told him about that he immediately took care of it himself. After all was done and all the crews were gone I found a few minor things that I either had questions about or needed taking care of, such as some cable wires needing to be put back in place permanently instead of being tucked aside temporarily. Jon was right out that weekend as soon as I called him. It took him two trips as he wanted to get some particular kind of ties to make the job look good.
Throughout the entire process he always got back to me promptly and was very gracious with his time in answering my questions.
He really showed how conscientious he was 2 months after the fact. My upstairs clothes dryer heated up, but was not drying the clothes, and I thought perhaps the duct had gotten debris in there. I called him and he was out the next morning on the roof with a shop vac, but he reported that he didn’t pull up any debris. He came out over that weekend when I was home, pulled himself up into a hot attic filled with itchy insulation, and dropped himself head first into an incredibly cramped spot in a former small closet where the dryer is stacked up, so he could check that the connection at the back of the dryer wasn’t clogged. A hot, dirty sweaty job. And I wasn’t even sure that the roof job had anything to do with problem! The connection was NOT clogged, and he absolutely refused any payment.
It hasn’t rained since I’ve had my roof put on, but I am convinced that if any issues come up that Jon will take care of anything that needs doing and in a very timely, pleasant fashion.

Very responsive to our concerns, Jon and his guys came out after we noticed some things after the job was done and worked hard to make it right. Jon is a stand up guy and works hard to make sure you are happy with his services and his product.

I had been dreading the issue of finding a roofer because of all the horror stories out there. I found A Better Roofing Company by accident. I was working a job for a home owner who wouldn’t stop raving about how good this guy was. He went on to tell me he buys houses and rents them out and this was the fourth house he has had this company put a roof on for him. So I talked to the owner of the roofing company, Jon Morrison. He was communicative, honest and we talked over all the options. He seemed like he really cared and was enthusiastic about taking on the job. He came over to my house, again we went over everything and he answered all my questions. Although price is important, I also understand the cheapest doesn’t mean it’s the best. I found Jon’s prices extremely competitive and I felt I got more bang for my buck than all the other quotes from the other roofing companies. The crew cleaned up after themselves everyday and got the entire roof done in a few days. The only hangup was waiting for the city inspector to come, (who also told me that this looked like a job well done) A Better Roofing Company is one of the best kept secrets going. This guy does great work for a great price.
