Our experience with Stockmohr started on the day of the horrible windstorm in WNY (March 8th). Like so many others in the Buffalo-Niagara region, we lost about 50% of the shingles on our house. We had just gone to the Buffalo Home Show the weekend prior, so we had many brochures from different roofing contractors in the area. We started calling around to different roofers immediately to get a quote for an emergency tarp to hold us over until we could get the roof fixed. A few other companies quoted us between $600 and $1000- yeah, you read that right.. $1000 for a tarp! Based on the recommendation of a coworker, I contacted Stockmohr. Stockmohr quoted us $350 for two HUGE tarps to cover 50% of our total roof and better yet, they were able to come out the very next day and get us tarped.

The following week we scheduled several estimates from a few roofing companies we were interested in. Not only did Stockmohr’s quote come in over $1000 below the other three companies, it was the most detailed. We received 3-4 pages of detailed notes about what exactly needed to be done on the roof and what the recommendations were. This was especially helpful as we were working with our insurance company to get the damages covered. At first, the insurance was only willing to cover half a roof or a patch job on the shingles. Our insurance adjuster said he reviewed Stockmohr’s quote and agreed to immediately cover all of Stockmohr’s recommendations (a full roof replacement). The adjuster actually mentioned how it was one of the most detailed estimates he had ever received in his time working in the insurance industry.

So of course, we decided to sign a contract with Stockmohr to do the full roof replacement. I was very impressed with the entire contract-signing process. I wasn’t just handed a piece of paper and told “hey sign this,” instead, every item of the estimate was explained line by line to us. We felt very comfortable that Stockmohr would be providing us with an excellent service.

Unlike some other shady companies in WNY that require a huge down payment for the work, Stockmohr didn’t ask for anything up front. We simply had to put down a deposit the day the roof work was started and then pay a balance once completed and inspected. It took a while to schedule the roof replacement, but that is because Mother Nature wasn’t very nice to us during the past few months. We just had our roof replaced this past Monday (May 8th) and we’re very pleased with it. The roofers actually completed the entire tear off and replacement in one day.

In addition to how great the roof looks now and knowing we have quality shingles and quality workmanship on the roof, I would like to add that the “emergency tarp” really held up for TWO MONTHS. Even with several inches of rain and snow during March, April, and May, we never experienced any major leaking. We periodically went up into the attic just to verify. This was a major concern of ours since the wind ripped the roof off right down to the plywood.

We’ve dealt with other roofing companies in the past and Stockmohr was by far the most professional. It was always a pleasure calling the office and speaking with Jessica who kept us informed during the entire process. As first time homeowners, it’s scary to start working with contractors especially when there are so many shady companies out there. I would not hesitate to recommend Stockmohr for any of your roofing needs. Quality product and quality workmanship at a very affordable price. We’ve dealt with a few other contractors in the past and Stockmohr was by far the most pleasant to deal with. Thanks, Stockmohr!
