    My experience with LeFever Roofing was very positive! I had a complex roof with many moving parts that LeFever Roofing was capable of handling and made it all work out. I am a very involved homeowner and know the job was done right, no short cuts were taken. I had a lot of extra work once the job started and I felt they charged reasonably. LeFever repaired what was necessary but didn't go overboard. Eric their salesman was great he gave me a fast quote and answered all my questions! Many roofers are extremely slow with quotes or they just disappear. I asked a ton of questions, they answered all of them. They showed an interest in resolving my complex roof issues correctly. Cory the owner even came out to evaluate what type of roof to put on my low sloped home. Note: I decided to call LeFever based off of seeing their trucks around town. I had no referrals, nothing to go on, I felt I got really lucky to find them. They showed a genuine interest and kept working to earn my business until they got the job and kept that same interest throughout the job! Nobody else worked that hard to earn my business. Thank you, Cory, Eric, Andrew and all the crew!

    I don’t usually post reviews (good or bad), but I received an email from the owner of Lefever Roofing, Cory Lefever, asking me to share my experience. I’m sure it was an auto-generated request that he didn’t intend to send me, but it’s an emblematic example of just how disorganized Lefever Roofing is at what they do. We selected Lefever Roofing based on the strong recommendation of our highly regarded architects. Unfortunately, it turned out to be the worst decision of our build, setting us back nearly a full year. Our dry-in application, shake shingle installation, low-slope roof system, and gutter preparation all failed to meet even basic installation standards -- followed by delays, excuses, cover-ups, and incomplete work. Leaks began shortly after work started, and water pooled in several areas. Despite providing photos, reports, and third-party assessments directly to Cory, Lefever’s responses were consistent: evasion, delay, deflection, and denial -- until we uncovered the real issues ourselves. What we discovered was stunning: • Large areas of roofing had no ice-and-water shield, especially at roof-to-wall transitions. • Flashing was improperly executed. • Low-slope underlayment was installed backwards, causing water to pond instead of drain. One section even sent water back toward the house. • Drip edge around the decks was improperly installed and has yet to be corrected. • Concealed hazard – an employee covered a fireplace exhaust pipe with an underlayment membrane that would have gone undetected had our fireplace contractor not been onsite and on the roof at the time. Repeated site visits revealed a pattern of sloppiness and neglect, with superficial, ineffective patchwork “repairs” that introduced new problems instead of fixing existing ones. When we raised concerns over the leaks, Cory tried to shift blame to our Tyvek house wrap (a claim that was promptly refuted by our architect, building supplier, and Tyvek representatives who visited our site). His “solution” was to apply tape over a few seams, and his most shocking suggestion: “Just put your siding up…that’s the true test for a watertight seal.” Additional issues underscored the overall lack of professionalism: • Cory sharing personal details about an employee (inappropriate and inconsiderate). • One worker was caught on camera rummaging through our personal items in the garage -- never addressed by Cory. • A large section of the roof had to be removed and replaced because shakes were visibly misaligned and not level. When questioned, Cory brushed it off with “that’s just how shakes are,” until a level confirmed otherwise. • Copper flashing at one of the chimneys remained incomplete, with temporary “roof jacks” in place for almost a year. To make matters worse, Cory didn’t visit the job site for more than nine months. Communication went unanswered, letters ignored, and promised resolutions left hanging. At one point, Cory even admitted that he couldn’t prioritize our project because he was busy working on the roof for the owner of the architectural firm that referred him, saying, “I can’t pull my guys from that job; he sends me millions of dollars of business.” We had to wait through winter before siding, insulation, and interior finishes could resume, delaying our project by an entire year. None of these claims are subjective. Every assertion is backed by photos, videos, emails, and text messages. I’m happy to share documentation with anyone evaluating Lefever Roofing. Please do your homework. Don’t fall for Cory’s “polished” pitch. If you hire Lefever Roofing, stay on site, question everything, verify work against your contract, and don’t pay in full until you’re sure your roof is watertight. While some reviews may reflect positive experiences, I have no doubt that ours is not isolated.

    Had 2 skylights removed and that area of the roof reroofed. Also had the roof inspected and minor repairs done. Brad did a great job. He let us know how everything went, cleaned up all of the debris and gave us a thorough opinion of everything he thought about the remaining life expectancy of the roof.

    Cory's team did a great job on our hail damaged roof. They did a complete tear off and new shingle replacement. The guys started at 7am and were done by 3pm. Great bunch of hard working guys. Cleaned up everything and left no trace of any debris. Thanks again, I will recommend them to anybody that needs roof repairs.
