Advanced Aluminum helped me out of a very challenging roof replacement, and overall I would suggest their services for any aluminum work or repair. I was always responded to, had all my questions answered in full, and felt there was good oversight to the entire process. The full story below.
My roof on an investment property is not conventional - it has 8' on center aluminum rafters with corrugated metal underneath and an original pan style roof on top (laid down in a shiplap style, very odd and from the 80s). Fast forward past the insurance company holding me feet on the fire, I had to address the roof entirely and due to not having a conventional decking (plywood) system, my options were very limited. I spoke with 7 different roofing contractors and got very close on a 5-rib metal roof system but that didnt materialize. That contractor (Quality First Roofing) told me why they couldnt move forward and even refunded all deposits (Big thank you to them also). Quality first let me know about Brian at Advanced Aluminum and how they were the best option for me, and I didnt know about their capabilities or even considered their products as an option.
Once I connected with Brian, the plans quickly developed. I was very detailed in what I wanted and Brian and his team went to work. They produced engineered drawings with all details included and we worked out a scheduled. Some weather delays, material shortage, etc, all things out of either of our control played a part. However we both maintained communication, spoke of back up plans, and had the end goal in mind (his being to deliver a high-quality product and have a fulfilled customer, mine to get the insurance company of my you know what!!).
The install team worked professionally, cleaned up all the garbage daily, and answered any questions that I came up with on the spot. Nothing was left to the unknown for me. The end product was exactly what I not only needed but wanted. I also had a sky light replaced, and it made such a huge difference to the interior of the house. I couldnt be more appreciative and thankful.
Since I knew my roof was unconventional from the start, I planned for some job changes due to unforeseen issues but nothing (major) happened. At the end, the install team even rehung my gutters (which wasnt part of the scope of work) and tied everything in to the existing facia/soffit. The price was at the upper end of my budget but the end product delivered the value. The job inspection passed, documents were sent to all parties, and no detail was left unresolved.
Overall - 5 out of 5 stars.
