Two months back I contacted 5 roofing companies: Hansons, Snyder, Moore and Sons, Above Roofing, and Allied. I explained to each of them that I was bidding the work out and that the work would be won not only on competitive price(Not the lowest), but also quality of product, references, experience(Years in business), total insurance and liability, and overall comfort with their sales rep. The job I was having done was a complete tear off with new shingles being installed. Dave Jr. from Allied came to the house and did a great job of asking the right questions, listening to my concerns, and providing a comprehensive scope of work for the job. While other companies had great presentations that focused on why them, Dave was very straight to the point with me. He explained what he could do and when they could get it done. Dave recognized that I did a tremendous amount of research as I was asking more technical questions of him. He didn’t bore me with a 45 minute presentation. In my opinion, the market is flooded with roofers who all say they have the latest and greatest products. Because of this, I learned a lot about the technology out there. Having said this, I went back to Allied and spec’ed out what I wanted on my roof. I chose diamond synthetic for the underlaying, Certainteed Pro Hi-Def for the shingles, and shingle vent II for the vents. There was a lot more they did like reflashing the drain waste vents, ice and water shield(6ft), and replaced drip edge flashing to name a few. They completely accommodated my request and resubmitted their bid. It came in spot-on! I chose Allied because I felt most comfortable with them. I didn’t feel like I was being sold, rather, that they just listened and offered me solutions that worked for me. They have been in business for a long time(more than 75 years) and are a family owned company. When all was said and done, they were the lowest bid as well. This was the icing on the cake. On the day of the install, their workers showed up early. They started working almost immediately. I went and got them some Gatorade in the middle of the day and offered to get pizza but they instead opted to go out to lunch somewhere. They finished the entire job in one day. I was absolutely amazed. I was able to look at the materials they were using before they got started to verify that they were using what I spec’ed out and everything was just right. I highly recommend using Allied. I have already given their contact information to two of my neighbors who also need roofs. I explained all the work I went through to get bids and that they should just make one call to Allied. I trust that Dave Jr. and his team will do a great job. Side note: Hansons is SUPER expensive and to be honest, if you spec out the materials you want with Allied, you can get everything they offer and more for less money. Their money back guarantee seemed nice but their price match policy is a joke. They will only match pricing if you have to replace 100 sq ft of plywood. Otherwise, you are out of luck. My roof was fine so I was automatically disqualified for price match. I feel as though if I were to go to Allied and tell them I was unhappy with the work, they would do everything they could to fix it. So in that respect, Allied matches everything that Hansons said they would do. Also, I found the Hansons sales rep to be overbearing. He didn’t understand that I already did a lot of research and continued to try to sell me stuff I didn’t want or need for that matter. My experiences with Snyder, Above, and Moore and Sons were fine.
