We contacted Shawn when we were purchasing our home after our home inspection to get a quote for our roof. We were very pleased with how fast he got back to us and how upfront he was with us. As soon as the weather broke we contacted him … More and picked our shingle color. The crew came out & did a fast and terrific job. Crew leader Kenny was exceptional and he made sure our property was properly taken care of. Kenny thoroughly checked our property for debris & absolutely nothing left behind. The Whalen crew was truly professional all around. -

Please excuse the lengthy review, but I have to give a huge thanks to Whalen Exteriors and I feel compelled to tell the whole story so you can get a good sense of why you should work with this company. I called several contractors needing … More my roof replaced on short notice due to a series of bad roof leaks on an very old flat roof system and was in a rush to get the project started with the Spring rain well on its way. Shawn Whalen himself CAME TO MY HOME THE VERY NEXT MORNING after we spoke on the phone to evaluate my roof. While I had to chase other contractors down for their bids, he sent me his bid in a timely manner. Not only that, HIS BID WAS COMPETITIVE with the other 2 estimates I obtained and more importantly, HE AGREED TO PUSH BACK OTHER JOBS to accommodate our roof project... it was an emergency since our roof was actively leaking! We had to wait a week or so for the weather to warm up to start the project due to the manufacturers recommendation. Shawn really listened, because he knew my wife and I were very worried about the leaks and we had bad weather coming. So two days later he came out with one of his guys and patched our roof. That day after the patch job, we had a big rainstorm and were able to sleep through the night. It was the first time we hadn't worried about our home getting additional water damage in several weeks. We were really nervous leading up to the project because firstly, it's such a big financial commitment, and second, we didn't want to have to deal with any roof issues going forward for a really long time. The days leading up to the install, I was frequently texting Shawn with questions as well as requests for colors and materials I preferred for the re-roof. HE WAS ALWAYS QUICK TO GET BACK TO ME with answers and to confirm the changes to my order and NEVER GAVE THE IMPRESSION I WAS BOTHERING HIM. When the project got delayed a couple days due to the weather, Chuck from his office kept me updated. Big shoutout to Chuck! His project manager got sick the first day of the install so Shawn showed up to make sure everything got started without any problems. HIS CREW WAS WELL STAFFED, EFFICIENT, AND FINISHED THE JOB IN 2 DAYS. They came back on the 3rd day to do a quality check without me asking. For anyone who has coordinated renovation work on their home in any capacity, you know how rare it is to have a truly professional experience with a contractor. We are thrilled with the job Whalen Exteriors did! -

When I decided to replace my roof, I asked for recommendations on Facebook. I received multiple 'Whalen Exterior' responses from respected friends.
