Daily cleanup is the detail the homeowners who hired Luther Roofing keep describing. In a 2012 review, one wrote that the crew left the roof watertight each evening and left the lawn in better shape than the landscaper had; another 2012 customer said the crew swept for nails with a magnet every night. The Cumberland roofer describes itself on HomeAdvisor and Angi as a roofing and gutter company with forty-two years of service. Its written reviews run from 2006 to 2013, and it holds 4.9 stars from 8 ratings on each of HomeAdvisor and Angi. In a May 2012 review, a homeowner described a detailed written estimate from Ken Luther that came with material booklets, warranty information and an insurance certificate, a crew that started and finished on the dates given, and a return visit at no charge about nine months later when a damp spot showed up over a bay window, a problem the customer said predated the new roof. A January 2012 review described a storm-damaged shingle repair at a price the customer called reasonable, and a 2011 customer said the crew came when they said and charged what they said. The one account with a complaint is a March 2013 review. The customer said a porch gutter bent during the installation was replaced right away, but that after the job started they were told the roof deck needed plywood, which raised the price from the $11,200 quote to $14,700. A house next door of the same construction had been reroofed three weeks earlier without plywood, and the customer suggested discussing it before signing. The Rhode Island home improvement contractor registration GC-8897, held by Luther Roofing, Inc., is expired; the state registry lists it as invalid.
“he signed a contract to have his roof shingled by Luther Roofing Incorporated and stated that he paid $2,328 of the $4,650 due for the job to the owner of the company, Kenneth Luther, 76, of 262 Abbott Run Valley Road in Cumberland.”
The work was performed to our satisfaction. We encountered a minor problem. A porch gutter was bent during the installation. When brought to Ken"s attention it was corrected immediately and a new gutter was installed. An area of concern, was that after they started the job, we were informed that the roof deck had to be covered over with plywood. This increased the cost of the installation by $3500. The initial quote was for $11200, hence a total cost of $14700. The reason this was a concern, was due to the fact that the house next door, which is the same construction and built at the same time as ours, had been reroofed three weeks prior to ours. They did not require a plywood install. I don't know if this was needed or not and probably will never know. The reason I question the need, is due to the fact that Ken Luther had installed the prior roof thirty something years ago, without the plywood, and we never had a problem. In fact, we did not replace the shingles because we had a problem, but due to the age of the roof, we felt replacement was the prudent thing to do. I mention this so that others will be aware of the possibility and I feel this needs to be a discussion prior to signing.
It took five days to remove and install 25 squares of shingles. Luther Roofing employees followed the contract in every detail and left the roof watertight each evening. Clean up each day left my lawn in better shape than my landscaper left it after his fall clean up a few days before the reroofing. I am very satisfied with the work that Luther Roofing did on the removal of the old roofs and installation of the new roof on our residence. The new roof looks great.
Overall I was very happy with the job
Ken Luther and his crew were excellent. Ken promptly return my calls. He gave me a detailed and professional written estimate that was accompanied by informational booklets on the materials that he was using, warranty information, BBB info, license info and his insurance certificate. I contacted GAF, the manufacturer of the roof shingles, who confirmed that Luther Roofing was a GAF certified contractor, which entitled me to a better warranty from GAF, just as Ken Luther had represented. He provided me with a realistic and accurate date of when he would start the work. His crew was hard working and polite. They cleaned up every night and swept for nails with a magnet. His crew arrived on the date and completed the job in the time that Ken said they would. About 9 months after the work was done, I noticed a small damp spot in the ceiling where the roof over my dining room bay window is---which has been an on-and-off problem when severe storms hit since we have owned the house and this problem predates Luther Roofing's work. When I called Ken Luther, he promptly returned my call and absolutely stood behind his work. He sent someone out from his crew a couple of days later to fix the problem for no charge. That was more than a year ago and I have not had a problem with that small spot since. I would definitely use Luther Roofing again.
I had some damaged shingled replaces due to a storm. They came out to give me an estimate and I booked the job. A gentleman from Luther Roofing came out and did an excellent job. Very professional and a very nice person. I would definitely hire them again. The price was reasonable as well. You can't go wrong here.
