Member Comments:	Before purchasing my home, I had a building inspector check things out and was told the roof was in good condition, but that was four years ago, so I decided to order a routine checkup. I am not experiencing any roofing problems and I’d like to keep it that way. My first stop was Angie’s List and after examining the various companies listed in the roofing category, selected NOMBACH HOME EXTERIORS because of their overall grade of A, and their large number of favorable member reports. A very nice lady took my call and told me I would be getting a callback from their estimator, sometime that day. Within an hour, I received a call from Jack Weber; I explained I wanted a routine checkup, just to be sure everything was O.K.; one hour after that, Jack was here. I had him go ahead and make the roof inspection. He reported that the gabled portion of the roof (the asphalt shingles) are in good shape, good for several more years, but the flat portion was beginning to need some work. The white reflective coating was worn away in several places, portions of the flat roof were beginning to buckle and nails popping up meaning a wind-driven rain could force water inside the brick edges, the flashing around the edges was cracking, gutters need reinforcing with additional hangers in certain areas, and the chimney had two bricks that needed replacing and the chimney needed overall tuckpointing. After explaining all the work that would be done, he showed me photos of the company’s past roofing projects and showed me all the company’s business licenses and permits. I couldn’t see any reason to shop around for another company and realized that, although not urgently needed, the repairs really should be done and that postponing the work was unwise. So I agreed to go ahead and have Nombach make the repairs. Jack wrote up a contract detailing all the work to be done and itemized all charges. On the appointed day, the crew showed up, on time, and went straight to work, led by Jerry Moto. They look very professional in their red t-shirts. When they were finished, they cleaned up the area, then, Jerry explained the work they did. Later, Jack Weber returned for a final checkup, and gave me before-and-after photos of the roof and chimney. I am glad I had the work down, I am glad I used Nombach Co., I think I got excellent service and would use them again.
