  AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS! They cost me a lot of time and thousands of dollars in repairs. The job was DEFINITELY NOT done right the first time. If you use them, you WILL have issues and they won’t respond. Here is a run down of all of the problems I had with them: -The shingles they installed were popped up and exposed the plywood decking underneath near my chimney -The gutters were cut too short, water would drip right off the shingles and down towards the ground (near my foundation) -They left a whole cartridge of roofing nails lying in my yard (sharp side up) in the area where my dogs play -Breached our contract by not using a magnetic sweep to clean up the nails. I’ve found 100+ so far and one found it’s way into my car tire, now I need a new tire -They tore a whole in my window screen -I caught workers walking on top of my deck railing, this material is not meant to hold that type of weight -They didn’t replace my drip edge (per contract they were supposed to) -They put 2 different sized flashing on my home -They used the wrong elbow joints and had to smash the pieces together to make them fit -The gutters were off-pitch and off-tilt -They installed gutter hangers on top of my shingles. My previous roof had the hangers installed under the shingles and never leaked for 25+ years. They lied to me saying that the hangers had to be on top of the shingle b/c having them under would cause leak risk. Not true as my old roof never leaked and the inspector + other roofing contractors told me that installing on top of the shingles was the lazy thing to do -They left 160ft of gutter sitting in my yard for 2 weeks. I had to email them several times to get them to come out and finish the job. -The downspouts looked like a 5 year old cut them, complete with a big wad of silicone to prevent leakage -They were going to order me non-venting skylights to replace my VENTING skylights. Luckily, I caught this in the contract, but who on Earth replaces something with a non-comparable item? Also, I later found out that you can order the skylights with blinds pre-installed, I was not given this option and it would’ve saved me a whole lot of hassle -There was a gap in the flashing on the one corner of my home, exposing the decking underneath -I tried for 3 MONTHS to get someone out to look at these issues. But they already had my money so they didn’t care. I was told for 2 months that a family emergency prevented them from coming out. Finally, I hired a certified roofing inspector to draw up a report. I submitted this to Becker’s and gave them 2 weeks to make the needed repairs. Mind you, this all started in August, this was now October and the deadline was November. I was NOT about to sit all winter with my roof exposed. They had the audacity to sit on that information for 11 days, not so much as a phone call. They emailed me 11 days later with no offer of an appointment. Needless to say the missed the deadline. I ended up taking them to small claims court and the owner calls me less than 24 hours before the hearing offering me basically half of what I was asking for. This was an admission of fault on their part. This whole process was VERY stressful for me. And all could’ve been avoided if they would’ve just come out to my home. IF you want an expensive lesson on roofs, hire Becker’s. If you want the job done right, find someone else! I’ve learned more about roofing/gutters/downspouts than I ever cared to.

  I will absolutely never recommend this roofing company. Worst and most costly decision I ever made.

  My neighbor used Becker Roofing and got excellent results. Ten years ago they came and put on the roofing. It's as perfect a job as you'd ever want to see. Even as neighbors, we're happy to see a company do such a nice job.
