RW Harper & Son helped us with our leaky roof. The items they were able to fix, they fixed immediately and were very responsive. We had an odd roof situation that they attempted to fix, but we're not able to fix. After unsuccessful attempts, they quickly refunded our money for the portion they weren't able to solve. I would definitely do business with them again.

We got estimates from several roofers and went with RW Harper and Son because of their availability. Their workmanship and attention to detail, as well as the prompt completion and faultless cleanup really impressed us. I recommend highly! Service: Roof installation

I worked here for a few months, I love all my coworkers but the management is all messed up, they dont care about you at all there are no benefits what so ever and they dont follow proper osha regulations.

We purchased a home from a 92 year old lady that had documentation for a flat roof and front porch flat roof redone in 2017 by RW Harper to the tune of $5500. She was quoted for replacing damaged plywood, put down 1 ISO insulation and a full TPO roof. Fast forward to 2020, we are having a contractor redo our fascia boards and inform us that our front porch is rotted out, has multiple issues with water draining under the TPO roof and needed to be completely redone, including the valleys of the shingle roof flowing in.

The plywood was not replaced, there was no insulation installed and I was told the total materials cost would be in the $100-200 range. This company clearly took advantage of an elderly lady by providing a cosmetic fix that exacerbated water damage to the structure and charged her full amount. Our roof was still under a workmanship warranty for two years, but I am no longer interested in having any work done by RW Harper as they do not act in the best interest of the customer.

I had my grand mother (In Hopewell) call Harper because of a roof leak. She said the worker was very polite and explained to her what the issue was with her roof. They came back promptly for the repair and she has not had a leak since. THANK YOU! She went to the office to pay in person and the secretary even gave her a discount on her repair. She explained that the service took less time than originally quoted and made an adjustment on her bill. Harper is very honest and i would reccomend them to anyone. Thank you again for helping my grand mother. Richard Jones

Harper is our go-to contractor for repairs on our flat rubber roof at work. They get our leaks fixed timely and for a reasonable price. We have also had two larger projects that we got multiple bids for, but still ended up using Harper each time.

Great company! When our roofer couldn't fix a roofer leak before Hurricane Florence, my painter recommended them. They were out the same day! I have a new roofer!

We had a leak in our roof and we could not get it fixed. A good friend recommended we call RW Harper. We made an appointment for 11:30 am today and TJ Evans showed up on time and was actually a few minutes early. He found the source of the problem and was able to get it fixed fast and at a great price. Fast, friendly, efficient and a great value. Thanks!
