I had called to have an estimate for a roof repair that was leaking through my bathroom ceiling. I was told that Chris would be there at 3pm to do estimate. He called that day and said he couldn't make it because he had to pick his kid up at school. I was unavailable to be there but he said that was not necessary. He left me a brochure sheet from the company and handwritten was an estimate for $27,000 at the bottom.
It stated to replace all 3 skylights and both sections of my roof even though one section and two skylights were fine. When I contacted him he told me, and I quote, "It's an insurance job isn't it? We'll ask for more than we need and can always come down." I informed him the insurance company wanted him to contact them and give an estimate and forwarded him the info.
I received a text from him the following week stating he talked to them and they didn't offer much push back. He'd have a written estimate to me by weeks end. Fast forward two weeks, no estimate so I called. Chris tells me he never talked to the insurance and they don't do estimates unless I sign a contract, and he was doing me a favor by even coming out to look at the roof.
I called to speak to the owner, but surprisingly was unsuccessful, at which time I was connected to Bob, supposedly the sales manager and Chris's boss. When informed of what transpired wasn't too concerned and said if I wanted I can wait two weeks until he got back from vacation and he'd come out to look at the roof. Thanks but no thanks. I didn't know your business was doing paying customers a favor by coming out to their house to give an estimate, not to mention inflating the estimate to make money off my insurance company.

Job was done very well once they started the actual work. The only issue we had was getting the job started. Contract was signed in late April 2021 with down payment applied on May 5, 2021. We were informed completion would be done by end of June. We heard nothing from Rott until I made several phone calls to them and the job was finally started on July 15. Job was completed and well done on July 23, 2021.

Great company for all home needs. Very professional in all aspects, including timeliness, quality of work and courteous employees. Would not hesitate to use Rott again. Very pleased with our new roof and entry door. Chris, Scott and Pat were top shelf in responding to all concerns. Thanks William C. Rott. Service: Roof installation

Rain for days, i text them and they came out within an hour. We had a leak going from roof to basement. Hopefully the caulk they put in the roof will hold. Time will tell. They put on our roof in 2007. Very professional, fast and great response at answering texts. Keep up the good work! Service: Roof repair

This is a great local company that has been in business over 100 years. They know their business and will take care of your home just like it is their own. They will do it right the first time. The installers and ALL of their staff are kind, pleasant, friendly and polite. No question is too big or too small. PLEASE do NOT "hire a fly-by-nighter". Get it done right the first time, Call Rott! A huge thanks to Jason, Mike, Josh, Mindy, Dan, Roger, George, Donna, Jeff, Pat and Bob for making this process as easy as possible. It looks GREAT!

My contractor highly recommended William C. Rott and Son, Inc. as the company to call for replacing the gutters on my house. I called and Donna gave me an appointment for a day or two later for an estimate. Scott came to do the estimate and also inspected the gutters on the garage and the flashing on the roof. The need for replacing the house gutters was urgent, as nails were coming out all around the house.
He kindly and at no cost pounded in some nails that were loosening on the garage gutters and said that that replacement job as well as repairing the flashing on the roof could wait until Spring. The house gutters were replaced within 10-14 days after the estimate was done, and they look terrific and are functioning beautifully. During a heavy rain earlier this week (first week of December) I saw that the garage gutters were not functioning properly and I called the company promptly to arrange for new gutters to be installed and the flashing repaired. Scott came out 2 days later and I signed the contract for this work to be done; it is promised to be done, weather permitting, in about 2 weeks.
Thus I am a HAPPY REPEAT CUSTOMER. I highly recommend this company for its excellent and friendly customer care and service and for its outstanding workmanship. It is amazing that they do this work year-round, weather permitting, which I learned that most other companies do not do.

James and his crew did a fabulous job putting on our new roof. They were highly professional and meticulous in their work. James kept me updated as the project went on. When he encountered a few issues, he went out of his way to explain the problem to me and how he would solve it. There were no surprises. We are very pleased with the result and the crew left my yard cleaner then before they started (they even rolled a magnet over the yard to pick up stray roofing nails). WC Rott may be a bit more expensive then other roofing companies but you get what you pay for and they guarantee their work. i highly recommend them. Ask if James is available to work on your job. You won't be disappointed.

We had a full siding and door replacement done by Rott in December 2019 - January 2020. All work was of excellent quality and done with exceptional attention to detail and aesthetics. The crew (Scott, John, and Andrew) were fantastic throughout, very responsive to questions and requests. The inevitable glitches that came up were handled easily and without issue. Very important to us, the crew was assigned to our job only, and the work was done from start to finish without interruption in about three weeks. Highly recommended.
