After this last big storm we had a leak from our chimney for which we will have to get a general contractor to redo the chimney framing under the chimney flue cap. Porter Roofing again was prompt and thorough and ethical in their inspection. The main crew chief - Sean - got up there and pulled off the screening to really get a good look into to the chimney to determine the source of the problem. They've referred us elsewhere for the construction work before calling them back to finish off the roofing again.
Last year our dad's house had storm damage covered by insurance. The insurance adjuster came out and gave us an evaluation. We called Porter Roofing based on other work we had done about 2 years ago. Sure enough, same as the previous time we hired them, they went up, inspected the roof and came back with the exact same report as the inspector without knowing that anyone had inspected it. Sounds pretty simple but you'd be surprised how unusual this honesty is in the roofing business where most homeowners cannot go up on the roof to check things out for themselves.
About 2 years ago, we realized our dad's house was leaking because of water stains on the ceiling. We called 3 roofing companies. Two of them had exorbitant quotes - one said the whole roof had to be replaced and the other said that just half the roof had to be replaced. Porter said there were cracked tiles and flashing issues but that the underlayment for the roof was really good 40lb felt and that it was still just fine despite the age of the roof. We had them do the work 2 years ago for about $600 which included replacing missing and/or cracked roof tiles with new ones (matching the color by swapping tiles from less visible locations for the new tiles), repairing felt as needed, installing 3 new covers for existing roof pipes where they were missing, sealing down the metal flashing on all pipes and painting a few unpainted pipes to match the roof color & cleaning up all debris and hauling it away.
Over the past three years and three experiences with Porter, we've found them to be scrupulously honest and competent -- a rare combination! Would highly recommend.
