Professional from start to finish. They said they would be here at 7am and they were! Worked extremely efficiently and... meticulous. Clean-up was spot less down to the last nail. Prior to even getting the roof done they helped square away insurance with me from my insurance company who originally did not want to pay out for my roof. Just outstanding. Thanks guys. I will recommend completely.A+read more

I had my roof done by Home Evolution about 6 months ago and was amazed they called me recently and asked if they could... inspect the roof. They wanted to make sure every thing was ok with the workmanship. When it was installed they were friendly and very professional. It was done in no time. When they were done and cleaned up I was asked to inspect the area to make sure all material was picked up and clean. I was very happy with the work. Everyone was friendly from the office to the workers. Jerryread more

I did not have a good experience. I requested a quote for residential siding. The response to my request was fairly... quick. However, weeks went by after the first visit and did not hear back. Upon calling the office, I was assured that the quote would be forthcoming .I sent a follow-up email and eventually the quote appeared. The written quote was extremely unprofessional as it did not break down any material costs, the type of material, labor cost or timeframe to complete the project. The only item that seemed Important on the written quote was your payment options. I also noticed that during the in person quote, I had to prompt and ask a lot of questions. I was hopeful that the contractor would ask me more questions about the project, the types of material that are available, etc. It simply was not a good experience and I decided not to move forward using this company.read more

Awesome customer service right from the start! Angela was friendly, helpful & very knowledgeable & appointment was... made without delay. Problem was thought to be a roof leak that builder's service person & a plumber could not find in multiple visits over many months while the leak & it's damage continued. Dmitry discovered the cause of the leak within the first five minutes!!! He had a positive, happy attitude, was a most talented sleuth & was a pleasure to work with. Great people, great results...Home Evolution deserves every star they get & then some!!!read more

Alex and his team were terrific!! My roof was done last spring. They were professional and thorough. They showed me ... real time video, before, during and after the job to allow me to ask questions and review their progress. I love my front deck and gutters, in addition to the roof itself. Even their daily clean up was top notchread more

Home Evolution recently replaced the roofs on our large 3 story home and carriage house. They did a quick, efficient... and excellent job. Coincidentally, the contractor who had replaced the roof 25 years before was at my house doing other work, he also raved about the quality and professionalism of the Home Evolution Crewread more

We had a great experience with Home Evolution. We have a low-slope metal roof that has leaked on and off for years.... After getting the runaround from a few other companies, we signed on for a new EPDM roof. Andre and his team did a great job: they showed up early each day, worked constantly and let me know what was going on. The company stuck to my quoted estimate price. As others have said, they're not the cheapest but I'd gladly pay extra for a contractor who shows up and does professional work.read more

Replaced all the windows (21 total) a few weeks ago and they did a great job. It’s an old house, so window frames... were far from straight, but they took their time and made everything look really great. Would definitely recommend them and will use them for future projects.read more

Home Evolutions just installed a new roof on my home. I could not be more pleased with the excellent work and... professionalism. From Alex who came when I had a terrible leak into my house and explained to me what happened. He went up on my roof and took a video. Showed me exactly what it was. Explained my options. No pressure. My choice to do what I wanted. I decided to replace the entire roof (24 yrs old). When they came to do the roof they were most cognizant of my property. They came right on time and it took them 10-1/2 hours to complete the job on a very complicated roof. The materials they ordered were exact. The foreman Vadim took great pains to fix the main problem himself while his team worked on the entire roof. He was polite and very professional and caring of my property. They did an excellent job. Each member of his team worked very hard, including 2 women. Never wasted a minute. I am so happy with my roof and feel so much safer with it. They are not cheap but I was not looking for a bargain when it comes to my home. Their price was very fair. I highly recommend this company.read more

While not the most inexpensive option, they are very thorough with the details of everything they provide for the... money. My new roof looks great and the quality of workmanship and materials is good. My whole roof took their crew only 5 hours to do and my yard had no nails, etc. on it after they were done. All of their staff were friendly and helpful. I would recommend them to anyone.read more

Very good experience overall. Igor has been great to work with. He initially quoted the job about a year ago and... followed-up today to make sure everything was still good. The roof did great through the rather strong winds this winter and no leaks. The initial walk through included reviewing a video of the current state of the roof which is a nice touch. We have a rather large and complex, asphalt shingle roof including sky lights and solar panels. It was impressive how quickly their crew tackled prep, removal, and install. Trash management and cleanup was top notch. All work was done in a single, nice weather day which is no small feat considering the complexity of the roof and replacing three skylights. Very impressed with the final installation. Everything is straight and looks sharp. The solar panel install crew even commented on the high quality roof install.read more

They promised alot and came up short. They said they did not sub out their jobs, not true. They said they keep a... clean worksite and use tarps, not true. They wrecked my siding and marked up the paint (I gave them two stars from one because they did come back and fix the siding and paint). I had numerous issues with tiles not laying flat, they had to come back several times to fix them. There is better out there, not sure why they are rated so high. I would definitely use someone else if i had to do it again.read more
