AJ Wells Roofing Contractors

After reading reviews and listening to the opinions of others, I contracted with AJ Wells to replace my roof after Hurricane Irma. Prior to doing so, I determined the company has an A+ Better Business Bureau Rating. AJ Wells doesn’t pretend to be the cheapest contractor to replace a roof. They are not. What they are is the best at what they do. Their reputation is well deserved. You can have confidence that the new roof will be properly installed. I observed my damaged roof being torn away and there was quite the mess. But, the company allocates individuals for clean-up daily so it was never an issue. My gutters had to be removed because 19 years ago, unknown to me, fasteners to hang them were drilled thru the metal drip edge. Other roofers would install a new metal drip edge and simply cut around where the fasteners were placed and leave the gutters in place. Cutting out these areas would have compromised the new metal drip edge and made it prone to leaking at the cuts. Wood was used to extend my drip edge two inches out from the house. I was told this was being done as a precaution to insure water would not penetrate my home and cause wood rot or other damage at the soffits. Peal and stick is used under the shingles to create a water proof seal in the event there was shingle damage or loss . Use of this material will result in a discount on your homeowners insurance. Only high quality lifetime guaranteed architectural shingles were used. The color was of my choosing with assistance from the company representative to insure it blended nicely with my exterior color scheme. Due to the shape of my roof and its gullies, the supervisor made note of areas of the roof at my front foyer that may be prone to leaking in the future. Special attention and care was taken of these areas. All metal flashing was replaced in gullies and at side walls. Having a stucco home, this necessitated cutting out approximately 5 inches of stucco where the roof meets the walls. The metal flashing was then removed and replaced with new metal flashing with water proofing sealant tape behind it. This is important because metal flashing that is not replaced that is rusted or corroded will not last thru the next roof cycle and will be a source of leaking. The stucco was patched and repainted. My chimney was torn down to access and remove and replace the metal flashing. Again, this is important as the chimney is a primary source of leaking. The chimney was rebuilt, painted, and a new chimney cap was installed. My three roof ridge vents were replaced and an additional two were installed. My roof received its final inspection from the city with no exceptions noted. Upon questioning, the inspector told me the roof was “perfect”. At conclusion of the job, a Risk Mitigation Report was prepared (paid for by the company) detailing compliance with law and ordinance. Upon submitting this report to my homeowners insurance company, it resulted in a 20 percent savings on my annual insurance premium. To conclude, my new roof is of high quality and was installed by professionals who are very personable and knowledgeable in what they do. They have taken all necessary steps possible to insure my roof is sealed and will not leak. I have counted within walking distance of my home about 26 new roofs installed by numerous roofers since Hurricane Irma. During construction, I observed a lot of instances where wall and chimney metal flashing was not replaced but simply painted black or left at its original painted color. Chimney caps were not replaced and were left rusting. Materials used did not appear to be the best. These homes will no doubt have roof leaks in the future causing their owners grief, stress and necessary repairs. AJ Wells would never install a roof that way. He takes great pride in his well deserved reputation.

We were very impressed with the safety procedures and the quality and installation of our Roof. Very satisfied.
