Robinson Roofing & Sheet Metal, Inc.

They are out of business and scam people. Worst roofing company, and they continue to have a website.

Took money for supplies and labor and did the work now I'm stuck paying for the materials since he skipped town and did not pay the supplier and since then the richards building supply put a lien on my house, this company is a complete scam operation, laws need to be changed to prevent people like this from taking your money and leaving state.

Completed work in Oct 2017. Paid invoice in Dec 2017. Received letter Mar 2018 that supplier had not been paid and lien was placed on my house. Do not recommend.

6/1/18. Lewie Robinson signed contracts and accepted payments for work he never completed. Learned he has closed his IL operation and is now operating out of Tucson AZ location. Learned from local police, IL attorney general and IL BBB that numerous complaints have been filed - all for similar fraudulent acts. Lewie Robinson / Robinson Roofing signed a contract and accepted payment for work that was never completed.

Basically a criminal who has now moved on to a different location and left people who trusted him without their work being done and after having taken their money. Criminal act!

Signed a contract in October, told work would be done in 2 weeks. 3 months later nothing is completed and now they are telling me they can't do anything until April? That was only after I filed a BBB complaint because the owner or his son wouldn't respond to a single message that was left. Horrible business practices.

We do NOT recommend Robinson Roofing to anyone based on our experience during 2017 & continuing into 2018. We signed the contract with them on May 10th 2017 to replace the shingles, fascia and gutters, giving them a check for 50% of the payment with the final 50% due on completion of the work. Over the next 7 months work was sporadically done. July 7th -shingles, October 21st – fascia, Last week of November – gutters and downspouts, December 4th – leaf guards (which we requested in October).

Communication from Robinson Roofing was poor. We were not kept informed when or if a crew would be coming.
Roofing crew left nails and shingling debris in bushes and grass. Contractor office was called. Said someone would come out and no one did. The debris had to be picked up by my husband. Stepping on nails by grandchildren (or adults) was a big concern!
August 9, 2017 we received an intent for lien letter from a supply company for nonpayment of the bill for shingles. Calls were made to Robinson Roofing to ask for payment to be made. Dec. 4th when the work was finally completed, we payed the final amount due. Lewie Robinson gave us a receipt and “Final Waiver of Lien” which listed Robinson Roofing and Sheet Metal and the company supplying the shingles as having no balance due. (NOTE: IT TOOK FROM AUGUST 9TH TO DEC. 4TH TO GET PROOF OF PAYMENT FROM LEWIE FOR THE SHINGLE BILL. ) We thought that finally, after 7 months of waiting, all was completed.

We were wrong.
Mid December 2017 we received another intent for lien notice from another supply company for nonpayment of supplies (fascia and nails). Calls have been made to Robinson Roofing and Lewie Robinson yet as of this writing on 2/6/2018 we have no evidence that anything has been ‘taken care of’. In days a lien will be placed on our home! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! Lewie also now refers us to his lawyer, who has yet to return our phone calls!

We SO REGRET that we chose Robinson Roofing! We are very concerned that others might have to deal with a similar situation if they hire Robinson. Be aware folks…. Be careful.

Mike is very unprofessional. Im not sure if its a side business or just a hobby for him. Mike did some work on my roof and when it leaked water, I called him right away. His phone was shut off and the other number I had didn't work either. About a month later i tried again and one number has full messages so you cant leave a message but he did call me back.

But he never showed up to fix the problem when he said he would stop by. He doesn't guarantee his work or take responsibility for his work once he is paid. He told me the water was flowing through the concrete and stone which it is not. It's coming from His bad sheet metal work and roof repairs. Very unreliable, unprofessional, and overall I believe if he came out again it still wouldn't be fixed thats probably why he didn't show up.

The price was great. The crew was even better. They arrived on the day they said and at the time they said. The crew did a wonderful job on the roof. I think they cleaned better than it was before they got there. I would highly recommend. So glad I decide to go with them.

I just recently had my roof replaced by Robinson Roofing. I was recommended by a colleague, a past customer of Robinson, whom I very much respect regarding the recommendation. At the onset I was scheduled for roof to begin on a Tuesday and rain pushed the start date out one day. The office was very good about communicating this to me as well as all communications during the process.

The crew that replaced my roof was a team of very hard workers completing my roof very quickly. They had outlined what the process was in a contract and followed it verbatim. They cleaned the entire area and even notified me that after they left that the dumpster would be moved the next day and there would be a small deposit of sand under the dumpster.

I got up on the roof at the conclusion and walked each and every area of my roof to make certain that workmanship was acceptable. My home is only twelve yrs old and my previous roof would continuously have shingles blow off. The shingles had been nailed too high, only penetrating one layer of shingle and not allowing the engineered sealant to adhere, thus my dedication to details on my new roof.

My new roof from Robinson was very reasonable in overall cost as well as competitive in material quality. Judging by the service extended to date, should I have any future issues with my roof, I would anticipate the same level of service going forward. I would recommend Robinson for your roofing requirements.

I had high expectations based on the reviews but was very unimpressed. I felt as though they were talking down to me throughout our discussions and trying to rush me to a decision. I will not be going back again or recommend them.

Good people, good company. Highly recommended. Whether you are looking for roofers in DuPage, DeKalb, Will, Kendall or Kane county - check these guys out!

I got a quote that blew the other contractors away - the work was done on time and within budget - what more can one ask for??? I was completely impressed.

Did a great job for a reasonable price. I would highly recommend them.

Lewie Robinson has done such an amazing job in Illinois & in Arizona. lewie is a very understanding, hardworking man he gets his jobs done right! he is great, professional and gives reasonable pricing. 5 star!
