I would not recommend this company. I am so disappointed in the work they have done. Like so many of the other reviews, Advocate knocked on our door 2 years ago to convince us we needed a new roof because of weather/hail damage. Of course our insurance company approved it because all these guys know each other and help each other get business.
Our issue, at least one that is obvious at this time, is the gutters. As part of the new roof, we also replaced the gutters. For the second year in a row, we have ice forming around our home and creating a dangerous environment for anyone walking around the house. When we called Advocate last year to complain about this issue they investigated, but by the time anyone made it out to “fix”, the weather was already turning and it was determined that our gutters were now fine. Made me roll my eyes because I knew there was no way to know for sure into the weather got cold again. Mind you when I called I was told “ice forms all the time” so I decided to get proof that our neighbors house had no ice forming at all, and that we had never had this issue with the old gutters. One of the pictures is of the neighbors house, taken on the same day, with no icicles!
Here we are; winter #2 is upon us. And what do you know? The icicles are back and causing the DANGEROUS walkway up to my front porch/steps. And once again I inspected the neighbors houses and sure enough mine was the only one with the icicles.
I will continue to work with Advocate until they are able to fully fix this issue!
I will reconsider my rating/review if they work with me to eliminate the danger their work has presented at my home.

Poor craftsmanship and customer service.
I had a similar experience as a previous reviewer. Advocate came to our house and recommended a new roof due to hail damage as they did to many homes in our neighborhood. The roof was completed and we had a leak within a couple of years. We have had them out and they agreed that the roof was not done well. They have no-showed twice to fix the roof and the customer service has been awful. I would not do business with this company again!

Frequently Asked Questions
What weather damage qualifies for insurance restoration with Advocate?
Advocate says a home must qualify for coverage through a weather-related event that caused damage. Its FAQ lists hail, wind and fallen debris as examples of storm damage.
How long can insurance estimate adjustments take with Advocate?
Back-and-forth to account for required items on an insurance estimate can take a couple of weeks to several months, depending on the insurer's response.
Does Advocate provide financing directly?
No; Advocate says it does not provide financing itself, and independent lenders determine loan offers, approvals and terms. The financing options it describes permit early repayment without prepayment penalties.
How does Advocate handle cleanup after a roofing project?
Debris can remain during construction as old shingles are removed; cleanup takes place at the end of the project.
