I recently was getting estimates for a new roof because my insurance company had given me grief on my 4 point inspection. The original 4 point inspector said that my two sort of ‘flat’ roofs over the front porch and the florida room should be replaced and the main roof of the house only had a couple of years left. This four point inspection was done in Feb. of 2016.
I echo the reviews of others in that Mr. Kidder promptly answered my request for a quote for a roof replacement, came out personally to inspect and quote, and stayed in close contact with me through the entire process. Not only was Mr. Kidder one of the few who actually called me back with a quote (I called 11 companies, 2 of which called me back) but his quote was far better than any other. The job was completely finished in three days!
Kidder Roofing just completed our new roof in two days. The process from start to finish was painless. Mike was responsive and professional, and the price was fair and reasonable. Like the other reviewers, I called several companies and most didn't even call back. I got one other quote, which was substantially higher than the one from Kidder. Mike called me back within hours of my message and came out the next day to give me a quote. He worked with my schedule to find a convenient time to complete the job. Our pool is very close to the back of the house, and I was worried about dirt and debris landing in the pool (roofing is a messy business.) Mike personally made sure the pool was covered with a tarp to keep shingles and nails from landing in it. The crew worked efficiently and cleaned up nicely. I highly recommend Kidder Roofing!
Needless to say, when the roof gets a bit older and truly needs to be replaced, I will be calling Kidder Roofing and inviting them to the party. It is a rare business owner that would be so honest, especially when he had a customer sitting in front of him where two other roofing companies went along with the party line that the roof should be replaced. I truly believed that I should have been getting a new roof now, and Mike had the integrity to disagree and advise me not to have the work done quite yet.
Fast, efficient, kind and knowledgeable. Mr. Kidder and the entire crew were professional and friendly from start to finish. I am very pleased with the work they did and would highly recommend them to anyone.
One of the roofing companies that came out said that I should change the pitch on the two ‘flat’ roofs. The second company that came out said that the pitch on the two flat roofs were fine, there were no signs of water pooling on them, but the main roof was getting worn and it would be a good idea to replace it.
Mike Kidder, of Kidder Roofing came out and looked at the roof. Basically, Mike said that he would love to put a new roof on my house, because he’s in the business to do so, but that my roof was beautiful and didn’t need to be replaced right now. He estimated that it had maybe 4 – 5 years of life left in it. He explained that there were a lot of seams and angles, all of which were in very good shape. If I was not experiencing any roof leaks, then his advice was not to do the roof right now.
This is a review with high marks for Kidder Roofing, not because they installed a roof on my house, but because they did not install a new roof.
Kidder Roofing did an outstanding job for us when we needed a new roof and have helped us with other small projects since then. Very reliable, responsive and cost effective. Highly recommended.
I, too, had checked reviews with the BBB and on the internet. Based on the feedback that Kidder's roofing work was done well, and coupled with their honest approach to dealing with people, I gave Kidder 5 stars and will have them do my roof when the time comes.
Mike just left my house. He found one leak and another possible and fixed them both. He then inspected the rest of the roof free of charge and told me that my roof was in good shape and wouldn't need to be replaced for years. Mike Kidder is honest and incredibly affordable and I recommend him to anyone that needs roofing service.
Additionally, I was also considering switching to a metal roof, which is 2 – 3 times more expensive than a traditional asphalt roof. Mike also explained that here in Florida, metal roofs are not going to last appreciably longer than asphalt roofs to justify the added expense. Again, while he said he would be happy to put a metal roof on my house if that is what I wanted, he advised against it for the reasons previously mentioned.
