That job was excellent. At our house, GF Sprague just completed installation of new roof on one side of the house (the other side was fine), lifted the ridge vent, installed all along the ridge vent a zinc-covered copper piece to inhibit growth of moss, removed our 30-plus year old Velux skylight and installed a new fixed Velux skylight with snow-load glass, pointed the heating chimney, installed a copper cap on both the heating and fireplace chimneys, which means that we don't need to worry about checking for cracks in a concrete cap and looks stunning, and also replaced some rusty screws on aluminum downspouts with the correct screws that won't rust. Matt D, the project manager, was very responsive and on-site to check the crew. The crew was hard-working and barely took time for lunch. Some spoke English, but we speak Spanish and could communicate as needed with the crew. They were a very diligent crew. The clean-up each day was thorough, including the use of magnets to retrieve nails. They worked on a side of the house in a narrow space that includes two air conditioning compressors and a number of hosta plants and lilac trees. They protected the AC compressors and all the plants and trees. We also like that the contract provides for yearly inspections, then inspections at five year intervals, until 2057. They used quality materials, including Certainteed Landmark Pro shingles and ice shield underlay. Although the work is not inexpensive, it is high quality and done to last, hence the inspections that follow and the warranty. In this harsh NE climate, water damage can occur very easily without proper roofing and flashing. If done well the first time, the expense of new roofing can payoff with 30 or 40 years of peace of mind, which we feel we gain from GF Sprague. read less

Sprague Roofing – reviewSummary:Satisfaction with our new roof – very satisfiedSatisfaction with the quality of work – very satisfiedSatisfied with management of the project – very satisfiedDate of work – August 13th - 14th, 2020We had another company come out and give us a presentation and, although Sprague’s estimate was higher, we thought the presentation of their process and the thoroughness of their evaluation of our roofing needs was better and would result in us being more satisfied. We preferred to have the work done later in the Fall, so that many of our foundation plantings would have been past. Sprague encouraged an earlier date; after considerable discussion regarding the protection of our plants, we agreed to the earlier date.We had a pre-construction meeting with the project manager (Matt D’Agostino) and were immediately impressed with his sincere interest in going through everything that was going to be done and to ensure we were on the same page. Granted, he wasn’t involved in the multiple detailed discussions that we had with the salesman and there appeared to be a couple of gaps in the information transfer between the two of them – but we satisfactorily resolved any gray areas.The construction crew arrived promptly and went right to work. Our house is a small ranch style and was expected to be started/finished within 2 days. If you’ve never had a roof replaced before, it can be a little un-nerving with the mess of removing the old roof and all of the hammering and banging of applying the new roof. Depending upon how long it’s been since your roof was last replaced, expect that hidden rotting boards or decayed under-layment might be discovered; the repair and replacement of which could be pricey add-ons.Our project manager was onsite frequently, which enabled me to get answers to my questions arising out of me wandering around and observing the work being done and referring back to the contract to make sure all commitments were addressed. If he wasn’t personally onsite, I always received a prompt response to my texts.Overall, we highly recommend Sprague roofing. Having a roof replaced can be anxiety provoking but the manager on our job was very professional and did an expert job of representing the company and making sure any concerns or questions we had were completely addressed to our satisfaction. read less

I researched and got in-person estimates from more than 5 different roofing/siding companies, including GF Sprague. The estimate process with GF Sprague was by far the most thorough and professional as their representative, Matt DeLosa, spent more than an hour with me inspecting every bit of wood damage and working through diagnosing the issue (which stemmed in part from inadequate gutters).Matt came back with a detailed set of options for my wife and I to consider that included new gutters and carpentry, and he worked with us to formulate a plan that we were comfortable with. Work started shortly after; the team was on time every day and their project manager, Matt D'Agostino, was on premises multiple times a day, every day, to talk through the work and progress. I valued the level of output and communication - as we uncovered some other issues along the way, GF Sprague worked through them with me in a collaborative manner and today our house looks great.

They were good communicators, made the adjustments we asked for without trying to upsell us, and completed the work in a timely and professional manner.
