High Bar handles storm repairs well but fumbles bigger jobs. One homeowner paid $8,000 for interior painting and flooring, then watched the crew miss an entire wall, leave paint splatters everywhere, and abandon the project after two months of excuses. Reviews show the company does fast, thorough work on roofing and foundation repairs, with crews finishing emergency fixes in under an hour and full foundation jobs in two days. Project manager Christian earns consistent praise for walking homeowners through insurance fights and keeping them updated during repairs. But we found four separate complaints about incomplete interior renovations, all citing the same pattern: sloppy execution, long delays, and an owner who stopped responding once he had the deposit. One bathroom remodel stretched to 35 days for what was quoted as a 10-day job, ending with a shower floor that pooled water and a crew that argued on-site. If you need a roof patched after a windstorm or foundation piers installed, High Bar's track record is solid. If the project involves paint or tile, you're rolling the dice on whether they'll finish at all.
If you're hiring them for roofing or foundation work, the crew will likely show up fast and do the job right. But avoid interior renovations entirely, the owner has a pattern of collecting deposits and disappearing when the work gets messy.
David trusted Blake after a clean roofing and foundation job, so on 5/9/2024 he hired him again and paid $8,000 to repaint a 1,784 sq ft house, refinish the deck and handle some flooring. What followed felt like a step backward. Blake’s crew worked sloppily, leaving paint splatters everywhere, skipping an entire wall, abandoning the laundry room unfinished, and delivering a deck that looked as bad or worse than before. The flooring never got completed. When the painters returned a second time, David found himself babysitting them—crew members kept asking if they were doing a good job—and it would have taken a third visit just to finish the painting. Blake ignored repeated requests to inspect the overall job; when he finally showed up he backpedaled on items that were documented in his notes, agreed only to return for “some” of the work, and then went silent. After a week with Blake holding the full $8,000, David asked for a $1,500 refund so he could hire someone else to finish; Blake didn’t respond to multiple messages. When David’s fiancée called, Blake finally answered but spoke rudely and told her his world didn’t revolve around them. Nearly two months after payment, the job is,
Jon Gallup needed a second opinion on a nagging foundation problem and invited Blake from High Bar to inspect his home. Blake took the time to examine the situation and advised a repair path, plus suggested calling an engineering firm to verify the recommendation. The engineer’s assessment lined up exactly with Blake’s — a 100% match — which gave him confidence to move forward. He scheduled the job, landed a spot on the calendar within two weeks, and received regular communication while waiting. On the repair day the crew arrived on time, completed the work in a single day, let him inspect progress as they went, and left the site clean. The detail that stuck with him was the accurate initial diagnosis and the team’s openness to on-site inspection, which left him satisfied and at ease about choosing High Bar Roof and Foundation.
Katrina hired High Bar to remodel her bathroom and planned to hand over the requested 50% a week before the start so she could buy tile before leaving town. She called Calvin to arrange a meeting and payment; he promised to call back but never did. On the scheduled start date her husband rang her at work to say the crew had shown up unannounced — and that set the tone for the whole job. Calvin and owner Blake Carnes popped in mostly to collect money; the actual work fell to one lead installer and a less experienced helper who bickered on the roof. The tilework proved especially weak: the shower floor was finished with the wrong slope and held standing water. What had been pitched as a 10‑day job dragged on to day 35, and when Blake and Calvin finally inspected the drainage issue they left after saying they would follow up — then waited two weeks to send a text. With no substantive fix forthcoming, she hired another company to rework the shower floor and complete the remodel. The lasting detail that buyers should note: High Bar took payment and left a poorly sloped shower that required a separate contractor to fix.

Jeremy C reached out to High Bar Roofing after a windstorm tore off and damaged a section of shingles on his roof. He connected with owner Blake and, minutes later, met Christian, the project manager, who happened to be nearby and came out right away to assess the damage. Christian arrived professional and friendly, gave a reasonable, affordable repair estimate, and measured the house when Jeremy asked about adding gutters. The next day Blake, Christian and a dedicated gutter crew returned and finished the roof repairs and gutter work promptly and cleanly. He walked away reassured by the hands-on involvement of the owner and project manager and plans to call them back soon to add a solar exhaust fan for attic ventilation.
Suzi Zinsmeyer hired the company to paint her home, paid in full two months ago, and ended up with shoddy paintwork and an unfinished job. She encountered Blake, who proved rude and condescending, with spotty communication and a habit of backtracking on what he had promised was included. After repeated attempts to get the work completed, she asked for a small partial refund so she could hire someone else to finish it; Blake ignored the request and then turned it around by claiming she was refusing to let him finish. She pushed to keep the project moving with no success and grew tired of chasing the crew. The sticking point that kept this from feeling like a simple contractor dispute: Blake told her he was no longer "worried" about a job he’d been paid for but never completed. She’s left waiting for a modest refund for the portion of the work that was never done.
Robert reached out to High Bar after two other companies never returned his calls; Blake came out quickly to inspect roof damage that State Farm had denied. He immediately took charge of challenging the denial, walking him through the process and keeping him updated throughout. After a few months of pushing the claim, State Farm finally accepted responsibility. Blake and his crew then replaced the roof and installed new gutters, completing neat, professional work. The standout detail: High Bar handled both the insurance battle and the installation, so he walked away with a paid claim and a solid new roof.
Alex discovered a minor roof leak and called High Bar the next morning; by that afternoon a crew had patched the problem. They walked away with a bill that matched the estimate and steady, clear communication through the process. Several hard rain events since then proved the repair — no more leaks. What stuck with them was the same-day response and a fix that held up under heavy storms, making the speed and durability the memorable part of the experience.
Corina brought High Bar in to tackle several jobs around her home and discovered consistently excellent results. The crew handled the fence, flooring, paint and roofing, and she ended up with high-quality finishes across both exterior and interior work. The work felt professional enough that she plans to hire them again for future projects.
A.D. discovered foundation problems soon after becoming a homeowner and felt understandably overwhelmed, but High Bar Roofing & Construction turned a stressful situation into a smooth, fast process. They contacted four companies for inspections; High Bar was the first called, delivered the lowest quote, and then moved quickly—taking the job from initial contact to finished repairs in under seven days. Christian, the project manager, stayed on top of the job, answered questions, and was onsite for most of the two-day construction stretch to ensure things ran smoothly. The crew installed both internal and external piers and worked with Christian to minimize damage to the hardwood floors, kept the house clean and debris-free, and finished construction plus cleanup in two days. What stood out most was the team’s care protecting the interior while doing invasive foundation work, a detail that left them relieved and ready to hire High Bar again; they closed by thanking Blake, Christian, and the crew.
When Alexandra M. discovered her ranch-style home needed foundation repair, the news felt overwhelming — but High Bar Roofing & Construction turned a stressful situation into something manageable. She contacted High Bar first for an inspection and quote, and their price beat the three other companies she brought in. From initial contact to finished repairs, the whole job wrapped up in under seven days, with the actual construction completed over two intensive days. Christian, the project manager, stayed on top of every detail, answered questions thoroughly, and was onsite for most of the work to keep things moving smoothly. The crew installed both external and internal piers and took care to minimize damage to her hardwood floors, keeping the interior clean and debris-free during and after the job. She walked away impressed by the speed, the attention to protecting her home, and the clear communication — and made a point of thanking Blake, Christian, and the team. The detail that lingered most was the under-a-week turnaround combined with internal piers installed without major harm to her floors.
