Knitter Contracting

We hired Kintter to help us w/roofing needs for an addition. Our contractor has worked w/them for years and recommended them higly to us. We now know why - they are a top-notch, well run family business, and really know how to take care of a customer. Five stars easily.

Their work included several areas: 1) Roofing the new addition; 2) Removing/replacing tiles in the areas where the new addtion roof would tie in to the existing roof; 3) Fixing numerous issues w/tile around our solar panels on our roof - issues courtesy of Tesla Solar personnel who clearly had zero training in the tile work required for messing w/people's roofs; and 4) Fixing some of our roof valleys that were getting congested w/leaves and pine needles from our trees.

They provided a clear and complete estimate, and their pricing was just under the other roofing companies we talked to. Based on my brother's recommendation and their estimate we decided to move forward w/Knitter.

Throughout the project they operated in a professional and friendly manner. They showed up on time, did excellent work, coordinated their work w/other activities on the project, and their crew was conscientous and personable.

One of the challenging issues was that the tile we have is a particularly ""rare"" tile design and finding something that matched with it wasn't easy. Mike Knitter and Javier went out of their way to get us additional samples and options, and we ended up getting an excellent match that blended well w/our original tiles. They also helped us by placing the newer tiles in an areas of the roof that were less visible from the common areas of the back yard.

We also had two solatubes installed. Knitter's team discovered issues w/the way in which the Solatubes had been integrated w/the roof tiles that could have caused problems, and adjusted the installation.

Knitter also provided information and pictures of the errors and broken tiles that the Tesla Solar installers had left behind in their work, and corrected those issues as a part of their work.

From start to finish just an excellent experience. Highly recommended.

Recently had a large portion of my roof replaced by Mike Knitter team. What an exceptional company and hard working crew. They not only did a phenomenal job it was done quickly, efficiently and professionally. I highly recommend this company.

Used Knitter for a re-do on our roof (full paper replacement and new skylights, etc). My parents had used them several years ago when they needed a new roof and they highly recommended them.

I must say, they are a well-oiled machine and the entire process was incredibly smooth. They also did a fantastic job cleaning up after themselves, which I was slightly concerned about as I didn't really know what to expect from this type of job.

Every person that we dealt with was incredibly professional and helpful.

I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Knitter Contracting has just completed a lift and lay of my roof, as well as repairing leak damage in my dining room. Everyone I dealt with in the company was professional, kind, and patient with my concerns and questions. Their work was excellent and timely.

In February 2020, Knitter Contracting, Inc was assigned (through USAA) to replace my aging roof. He and his workers took only 2.5 days and the result was amazing. Mike and is team were excellent and Mike really listened to my concerns. I appreciated the detail and finishes to the trim and facia too. Highly recommend Knitter for your roofing needs. So happy I had this done before the 6 straight days of rain! Thank you again Mike!

My mother just had her entire roof and tiling redone with Knitter Contracting. She met with many contractors and Chris was the only one who listened to what she wanted, which was to keep the original look the same. All the other contractors made suggestions like ""Oh just remove them, etc"".

They gave a competitive and fair estimate and a clear start date. The job was completed within the suggested time frame and the end result was better than we could have imagined.

They left the place as clean as it was before every day and at completion.

I am not sure why there are some bad reviews but just remember that there are ALWAYS two sides to a story!

I highly recommend this family owned company!!!

I liked Mike when speaking to him at my home, so we waited for his estimate. He proposed a logical plan to address our wall leaks, which included options to prevent future problems (all very detailed).

We waited for a month, and then an estimate showed up after some prodding on my part (meaning I called several times to see if it was available). The price looked good, but that's because it wasn't for the project we asked to be estimated. Meaning, we waiting an entire month for the wrong estimate.

This last part I'm speculating, but we complained to our insurance company that we wasted a month of our time waiting (only to receive an estimate for the wrong project). Knitter's staff assured me that a new estimate would be forthcoming in the meantime. So we waited.

At the two month mark, I received an email explaining that they do don't the type of work I requested. Since this was obviously a lie (Mike explained in person exactly how good he is at water issues and proposed a very specific plan to repair our house), I am presuming this was retaliation for complaining to the insurance company about the first estimate mistake.

We have a small child and have been living with an open wall (exposed to studs) for months now. Much of this is a result of waiting for this company.

Not professional at all. Shameful actually.

Michael Knitter previously did a roof repair (referral through our insurance company) and we had no hiccups. We also had him add some rain gutters The job was reasonable in price and done quickly.

When we had roof tiles blown off in the recent storm, we decided to call Kniiter to do any needed repairs. Aaron Milburn, field superintendent, came out and looked at the roof and said he would give us an estimate the next day. After a few days, we called the office to check on status. No reply. We then called Aaron's cell phone and left a message and no reply. We emailed to the main office again and no reply. After 2 weeks, we gave up and had another roofer who came out and fixed the tile on the spot.

BTW, Aaron said there were more problems than the one roof tile, but this was not confirmed by our 2nd roofer, who said only one roof tile came off and there was no other visible damage. We suspect if Knitter had done the job, it would have been inflated with manufactured repairs....

We would have appreciated the courtesy of a call that they were too busy, or the job was too small, or something so that we did not waste two weeks waiting to have our roof repaired. We will never call such an unreliable contractor who treats potential customers (and a repeat customer in this case) with such disrespect. This is my first review on Yelp as I wanted to warn off other customers.

Knitter contracting was hired by my insurance company to write a report and a repair proposal for the leaks on the roof of my house. Mike Knitter the owner of the company wrote the report and the proposal. I hired him to do the job. An hour before when his crew was scheduled to show up to start the work, I got an email from him saying that his proposal did not include all the roof leaks and only one side of the roof and in order for them to do the entire work he wanted over a $1000 more to start the job. This is a typical bait and switch tactic. Of course I didn't have him continue with the work. I have waited three weeks for him to start the work and now have to hire another company to write the report to my insurance company and a new repair proposal. He has wasted a lot of my time and caused me a great deal of inconvenience. I do not recommend him as he is not an honest person and will waste your time. There needs to be an option for no stars on here, cause that's what he deserves.
