IMPROVE, DON’T MOVE
When it’s time to replace a roof or add insulation to your home, the project can be a stressful, time consuming chore, but if you do your homework it can be rewarding upon completion.
Your home is a big investment and in the new “improve don’t move” economy, choosing the right contractor is more important than ever.
One local contractor that has been helping raise property values through the addition of attic insulation and beautiful energy efficient dimensional shingle roofs is A New Roof Time.
Rooftime began in 1995, when Ricky Feltner started a small family business that operated out of his home. By 1999, his company of four office staff (which included a daughter, a son and son-in-law) had earned a ranking in the Top 100 Contractors in America, with sales in excess of $2 million. Ricky passed away at the end of 1999, and the company struggled to carry on without his dynamic leadership.
Today Ricky’s legacy has been preserved by no less than four roofing contractors that were once part of his vision, all successfully operating their own companies using the same principles and ideals he established over 15 years ago.
At Rooftime, Missy is still answering the calls (even at nights and weekends) and Ricky’s grandson, Justin, works as a project estimator. Greg Lykins oversees their certified roof crews. Rooftime is a true family-owned and operated business with deep community roots; over 15 year’s business experience, with three generations now serving Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.
Rooftime is a wise choice for informed homeowners looking for an honest and skilled contractor. They have earned the prestigious Angie’s List Service Award again in 2012 as they have every year since 2007 and their A plus rating as members of the Better Business Bureau means homeowners can trust them to do everything they promise.
Rooftime is also one of the onlyroofers in the Tristate that are Owens Corning certified as Top of the House insulation experts. But the real story is in their referrals. “It is our No. 1 priority to always do the right thing by our customers,” said JD Shoemaker of Rooftime.
The entire crew is required to always be up to-date on the newest products, technology and codes. The company uses qualified estimators that do not work on commission. This ensures that the customer always receives an honest estimate.
Rooftime provides free written estimates for customers and will explain what they can do to fix their home’s issues.
Rooftime’s services include new roofs and roof repairs on all types of roofs – metal, asbestos, rubber and mobile homes. Their attic insulation is the best in the city. They can also replace, clean or repair gutters and box gutters. They provide insurance estimates and FHA roof inspections, as well.
Rooftime is a leader in their industry, utilizing the latest in technology. Their estimators can use satellite measurement software to offer “to the inch measurements” for “to the penny pricing.”
They own thermal imaging cameras to pinpoint hidden leaks and decay and iPhones to solve problems on the job in real time. Rooftime employees are fully insured and attend annual training seminars and conferences. They still remember and practice today what founder Ricky preached so long ago: “Most homeowners won’t know good roofing; but they know good work and clean-up when they see it.” Rooftime staff will always respect your property, landscaping and possessions, leaving no trace of a mess behind.
When you are in the market to hire a good contractor, Rooftime will pass all of your tests with flying colors. They are hard-working, dedicated people that are in their business for the long haul.
