The cost was the lowest compared to two other bids I had received. But you need to get other bids and show them to Lowes to get a lower price. The work was completed as scheduled and in one day. I have waited to see if any leaks would occur and after almost 4 months, I have had no problems.
Description of Work: Hickle Roofing was subcontracted to replace my roof shingles and ridge vent by Lowe's in Fultondale (who supplied the materials)

I got their pricing because they did the neighbor's roof. Started and finished in one day ... but the neighbor said that they were three weeks late starting ... and it does not really look that good.
Description of Work: I requested an estimate for a roof replacement. The person said that they would be out on Monday or Tuesday, they would put the estimate in the mail and I would have it by Thursday. No one bothered to tell me that they did not do the estimate. Someone finally showed up on Sunday afternoon to do the estimate. I waited for their estimate and they were the highest of 5 prices. ... No Thanks!

Response from Hinkle Roofing
We sincerely apologize for the delay the reviewer experienced. Several weeks of strong storms in the area during the month of June resulted in an unusually high volume of estimate requests. We strive to complete each and every request in the most timely manner possible, although this may occasionally take longer than we would prefer during periods of increased storm activity.

Excellent. I advise people putting off repairs of roofs to get it over with fast, because the problem wiill only get more expensive.
Description of Work: I had a roofing leak for some time. Hinkle provided an estimate and after I made an appointment, fixed the lead in one morning. The leak was around a rubber boot around a pipe. They correctly said (my brother is a roofer in Maryland) that all the five boots should be replaced at the same time. Because I had waited so long, some plywood was also damaged, which they also replaced. They replaced about a dozen strips of shingles, too, plus the five boots (which is like a dome that fits over the pipe and has flat tile-like bottom and where the whole thing slides over the top of the pipe). They did good work for a good price, an opinion seconded from afar by my brother-the-roofer. Twenty years before, I also used the same company to redo my roof in Bluff Park.

As they were taking the old shingles off the house, they would throw them down onto my azalea bushes and boxwoods, destroying them. I asked them to throw the shingles out into the yard, but they wouldn't. 8 years later, shingles are falling off my roof. When I had another company come to inspect my roof, I found out that the Hinkle roofers had nailed the shingles down with only 2 nails per shingle instead of the required 3. In Alabama heat and humidity, it was just a matter of time before the shingles stretched their nail holes and started to fall off. Although they claimed to use a large magnet to pick up any fallen roofing nails in the yard and driveway, I picked up over 100 by just walking around the yard and drive.
Description of Work: I hired this company in '98 to re-roof my entire house.

Response from Hinkle Roofing
Unfortunately, we cannot fully respond to this review, because we do not show this member's name in our records, possibly due to the age of the job being referenced (more than 10 years ago). We are also confused by the dates listed in the review (home is listed as having been built a year after the job took place). We regret we are unable to resolve this issue fully, as the cornerstone of Hinkle Roofing's 100-year history is our customers' trust and satisfaction.

Over a week after my call, and three days after they said they'd call back, I decided to call them to see what was going on. I got a similar story: We're very busy and someone will call you sometime next week. Then she told me that if that wasn't good enough, I was free to call another company which I am about to do.
Description of Work: I called on a Wednesday for them to send someone to look at my roof leak and give me an estimate. I was told they were busy and someone would phone me back by Friday or Monday to set up an appointment.

We sincerely apologize for the delayed call to this client. We occasionally do reach our workload capacity, especially in the aftermath of severe weather, as was apparently the case in this instance (in the weeks following Hurricane Fay). We strive to respond to all calls and requests as promptly and efficiently as possible. Again, we apologize for the delay the reviewer experienced.

Hinkle did an excellent job: showed up when they had promised to, fixed the problem quickly, and cleaned up afterwards. Six months later, for all I can tell, the problem appears to have been fixed.

The guys were very nice. They had four wrong shutters, but it wasn't their fault. The supply house are the ones who gave them the wrong shutters. I didn't have to pay a thing until they came back with the right ones. They did a really good job and worked like crazy. They cleaned everything up. I felt it was a reasonable price.
Description of Work: They put new vinyl siding on my house, installed a couple of doors, a storm door, and put a dog door in the back door, and put 12 shutters on the windows.

I called to request an estimate. The receptionist said someone would be out the following week and they would mail the estimate to me. She said I did not need to be home when the estimate was completed. A little over a week later, we received the estimate and faxed our acceptance as instructed. I called the receptionist to ask when work would begin. She forwarded me to the voicemail of the person in charge of the repair. I did not receive a call back. Over the next week, I left a total of two messages. On my third call, I explained that I had already left two messages and I was able to speak directly to the person in charge of the repair. He informed me, that someone would be out at the end of the following week to begin the repair. One morning the following week, two repairmen arrived. They called from my driveway to let me know they had arrived. There was no prior warning of their arrival. I am glad that I was home, because they did ask to enter the garage to see where the leak was and also went up into the attic to find the leak. The repairmen were friendly, worked quickly and cleaned up after themselves. Before they left, I asked them if I was to pay them. They said no and told me to send payment to the office. I was not given a bill. I called the office to inquire about the bill. The receptionist said it would be in the mail the following week. We received the bill about a week later and sent in our payment.

I called for an estimate and one was scheduled. I thought they failed to show up and I called a second time. Again I thought they had not come but 3 days later a written estimate arrived. I signed and returned it to the company. About a week later an unmarked truck appeared in my driveway and 2 men walked around my house. I went outside and one said they were sent by Hinkle Roofing to do the repair. After they viewed the site they said it was too hot on the roof that afternoon and they would return the next day to do the repair. When I checked the roof two days later it was finished. I must have been gone when all of the steps happened. That was disconcerting and I wish they would have kept me better apprised of what was going on and who was actually doing the work. To date, the bill for the services has not yet been received. They were, however, the only company I found that was willing to undertake a small job.
Description of Work: Several shingles had to be replaced. The angle of the roof is steep and the yard falls away making it difficult to get to the repair location.

I got 4 separate proposals and it took awhile to get them. Some of the people I called didn't even show up to give an estimate. These guys were not the fastest getting the proposal, but they had the best price and could get to the job pretty quick. The work crew showed up about 5:00 on a Thursday and by dark had most of the old roofing removed. They covered the roof with a tarp for the night. They showed up early on Friday day and had the job nearly completed by dark. They finished by noon on Saturday. They took all the old roofing away and did a good job cleaning up after the job was complete.
Description of Work: Removed all existing shingle roofing and applied one layer of 15# asphalt felt. Installed Certainteed Dimensional Shake 30 shingle with a 30 year materials warranty. Installed closed valleys. Installed plumbing vent flashings. Installed ridge vent.

Hinkle was great in all respects. We love our new roof. Our home looks great. Everything about this company was terrific and they would be our roofing company of choice in the future. I can not recall the price we paid for our new roof without consulting my books but I am proud to state we got a great deal using Hinkle.

Fair. I submitted an earlier report with a failing grade. It was initially difficult to even get a bid from the company. After several phone calls, the owner and the supervisor met me at home and went over the job. They ended up being five to seven thousand dollars less expensive than my other bids. The roofers came on the day expected but were several hours late. They did put down tarps to catch debris but did not shield my air conditioners from falling debris. Clean up was fair. I had to call back to get some repairs done that had been included in the contract but were overlooked. The roof looks good, I have one leak remaining around a vent but have been promised that it will be fixed. I spent approx. 2800 extra for the fifteen year ''golden pledge'' warranty by the manufacturer.

Overall I was pleased. Communication prior to starting could have been better as could the clean-up. I wrote them a letter about the clean-up and got a phone call and visit. I would use them again. I got 5 bids on the job and they were not the cheapest. I chose them because they had done work for me before, they have a good reputation and because I felt that they would be around to take care of the warranty, should I have issues.
Description of Work: A crew arrived in the morning, stripped of the old roof and applied the new one, all in the same day. It included 2 new turbines and a ridge vent over one section of the house. 30 yr warrenty on the roof and a 5 yr warranty from Hinkle.

I will never use them again, because they were suppose to come out and inspect the roof first and then do the repair within a week. It took them one week to inspect the roof, and another three weeks to repair it. I waited much too long, and I don't think they give their customers enough care and attention. They did the job too fast, and they were in and out before I had a chance to write the check. The roof looks ok, and they gave me a ninety-day guarantee, and it hasn't leaked yet, they are just in too big of a hurry.

I was very happy with the job. The crew spent about a day and a half working. They tore the old one completely off then put down the new. At the end they cleaned up and there was not a thing left behind. I paid for a good quality roof that has a guaranty, I am not sure how many years though. I got a good price, I just don't tell people my financial business.

Hinkle installed the original roof decades ago and it is starting to get old. The men who did the repair work came over the day after we called and had few problems stopping the leak. They suggested a new roof and we will probably do this but not right now. The repair job was finished in less than four hours and it has not leaked since. When we do decide to put on a new roof Hinkle will get the job.

We had a leak in the roof, and we had an individual who came out twice to try and fix it. After no luck with him, we had Hinkle take a look at it, and they were able to remedy the problem the very first time out. Their prices were really fair. They cleaned up well and did a great job too. We have not had anymore problems since we used them.
