Advanced Roofing Company Inc

Exactly as I hoped. We had done some construction when we first moved into our house and the roof was never really quite right. In replacing the roof, I wanted to ensure it was done right but also really intent on having it visually appealing. Dave Hand was extremely helpful in guiding me through the shingle choices. His attention to detail in both the look and quality of the work resulted in an extremely well-done beautiful roof. He and his crew are top-notch - the best.

The project went as planned from start to finish. David was on the job every day, he kept us aware of everything that was being done - sometimes even by text when we were at work. He went above and beyond on several things, which was so appreciated. His crew was polite, they were hard workers, and I am not sure we even found one nail after they were finished. The finished product is beautiful and such high quality. I would recommend David Hand and Advanced Roofing to anyone enthusiastically.

Excellent. Would definitely recommend to others.

The result was nothing less than stunning. This marquee historic Westport home won the 2016 Westport Preservation Award, in great part due to the masterful work of Dave Hand and the crew at Advanced Roofing. There are few contractors that could have completed this job properly. The house is 100% watertight, and will remain so for many, many years to come.

Excellent. They started within a week of us dining them up and accomplished a masterful job in two days.

Fantastic - he did everything he said he would do, when he said he would. Job was done quickly and efficiently. He followed up to make sure everything was OK (everything was great.) I am very happy with the work they did. He did another smaller job repairing an opening in my roof and repaired a basement stairwell ceiling, installing a skylight. An awkward job, done beautifully.

The work was done quickly and efficiently, with the crew being very conscientious about cleanup and leaving the site in good shape at the end of each day. We had a deadline that we needed to meet and Dave's team worked hard, including many Saturdays and long work days, to make it happen. We detected one small leak after the job was done and Dave's team was out next day on a Saturday to rectify it. We've been really pleased working with Advanced Roofing and would highly recommend.

The work was performed on schedule, on budget and very clean. Gutters and down spouts were included and are awesome! Other contractors did not include.

I hired this contractor; but, he failed to ever show up to do the work. In the final hours of the relationship he openly expressed the feeling that he did not want to do the job. All of your users should read this review. David Hand came to my house and gave me a reasonable quote that I took under advisement. I initially was very impressed with him because he talked a good story about what a roofing job entails. At that time, in my gut I actually wanted to hire him; but, after I made the decision and delivered the contract and my deposit personally to his mail box, he did not contact me at all for a month and not until I told him I would have to cancel to get the work done by someone more reliable. He and his wife played me off against each other with never a word of commitment to a time for starting the work. I believe they work well as husband and wife con artists. I had to call about once a week to advise the wife that I had to have a start time at which times she would say she would talk to David which was nothing more than putting me off. When I raised the issue of having to get another contractor they became hostile and malicious in their language against me. They accused me of harassing them with my occasional calls to which they never responded. They considered a response to be a phone message with “I’m returning your call.” Simply put, my experience was exactly opposite all of your earlier profile reviews of this contractor. I have never had such a bad time with someone I was paying and went out of my way to accommodate. The price was higher than all but one other pro; but, at the time, I felt that Hand would do the spectacular job he promised so the slightly higher quote did not deter me as I expected a better job. This never materialized. Hand just went silent. I would never recommend this company if you have any urgency to your needs or just want the job to be completed in a reasonable timeframe. They just do not care. As I said, they went just short of a full month without committing to a start date and only when I called them did they offer one amidst a lot of ridicule of me for asking them to deliver on the contract. While Hand acts as an “executive” in his company, I truly do not believe he really knows anything serious about roofing. I do not believe he has ever worked as a roofer. And, he is definitely not reliable. I am repeating this negative report to the BBB and to other referral agencies that he uses and with whom he boasts of his high standing which, to me, just cannot be true. In summary, my primary advice is not to even talk to this contractor. His moodiness and unreliability make him totally untrustworthy. His wife covers for him; but, nothing ever comes of her alleged communications with her husband. After securing the contract, this company walked away from the job without a word. He refused to commit to a start date and when pushed to do so he engaged in unprofessional behavior. Both hand and his wife disparaged me for asking about standard details like providing toilet facilities and placement of the dumpster. When I finally told them to return my deposit, the wife told me they had made all the arrangements I asked about and did not explain why she disparaged me for asking instead of just telling me she had lined up what I was asking about. Both Hand and his wife take an irresponsible degree of latitude in stringing their customers along. This appears to be the result of a few high earlier reviews and omission of the negative ones. They appear to have an aversion to working for someone appearing less affluent than they believe themselves to be. It is a nauseating, typical mentality that exists in Connecticut in general and Wilton, Connecticut in particular.

Excellent! David Hand and his roofing crew did an A++ job from start to finish!

Dvaid, came to my house to do a roof replacement estimate. never heard from him again, called the office twice, no response.

A+++ Bill did exactly what he said he would do, professional and pleasant to have around. We had questions about operating the flu and he came back to show us!

I cannot say enough about how professional these men were while working on my home. Dave the owner was present daily, making sure the job went to plan. There were no hidden charges at the end. From the owner to the workers they were working like a well oiled machine from sun up to sun down. I would definitely use them again. They left the premises immaculate and they earned my trust.

The new roof and gutters are beautiful! And best of all - no more leaks! Unfortunately, most of the replaced wood cannot be seen, but the visible work is excellent. Going forward, we would only use Dave for any roofing related problems and would highly recommend Advanced Roofing.

I called on the weekend with a leak - they were at the house on Monday exactly when they said they would be, explained everything, where quick, polite and fixed the leak

The workers showed up on time and worked through the day, and came back a second day to finish up. They cleaned up so that you wouldn't know anyone was there. It looks great and no leaks!

Great! The crew was great, and their workmanship outstanding. Can't tell you how many compliments I've gotten!

David arrived on time at start of job. Gave complete schedule of things to be done and what to expect. Workers were fast, clean & efficient. Clean up went great, never knew they were here and the roof looks fantastic. 100% happy from estimate to completion.

Dave and his crew did a great job. The roof and copper chimney flashing look terrific. We needed to install soffit vents in the older part of our house but were concerned that they wouldn?t match the continuous soffit vents of our newer addition. Dave used a clever product called SmartVent that?s not visible from the ground, and we didn?t have to worry about mismatched vents. The crew took special pains to protect our recent paint job and new gutters and did a good thorough cleanup at the end. A few days after the work was finished, we noticed a patch of brick dust that the rain wasn?t able to wash off on the side of the house near one of the chimneys. Dave himself came over and climbed up there and washed it off. This is a man who really takes pride in his work. Karen, in the office, was very helpful and our messages always got through. Highly recommended.

They were very responsive, professional, careful and left worksite immaculate. It is too soon to comment as to the longevity of their work but we have every confidence that it will last a long time. The owner makes himself very accessible and personally oversaw our job. Would definitely recommend them.

David and his crew did an amazing job on my roof and chimney. On one of the days the weather was 90+ degrees and the crew worked non-stop. I was very impressed with the professionalism and every thing was left very clean after the work was completed. I have the best looking roof and chimney on my street.

Very well. David and his crew were very professional and considerate of our property. They left our site spotless every evening before they left.

Although hampered by the rain for most of the summer, Advanced Roofing was still able to complete the repair we discussed. During the repair, the representative noted another area of concern that we might want to address in the future. We appreciated his advice and no pressure offer of future assistance.

I rarely write an online review, but the work done on my house was so high quality that I feel compelled to write something. Simply put, anyone who is going to have work done on their roof should hire Advanced Roofing. The owner of Advanced Roofing is Dave Hand. Dave was very quick to take an initial look at my roof and give an assessment of what the next steps should be. We scheduled this consultation through his wife Kathy, who I believe is the office manager of Advanced Roofing. She is very competent, and was helpful throughout the entire process. It was readily apparent from Dave's initial assessment that he was both an honest person and knew his trade inside and out. We came to the conclusion that the best course of action was to install a new roof. My house is 5,300 square feet and has a complex roof structure. Dave guided me through what the job would entail, to the point that I felt comfortable that he and his team could handle the job. He provided me a quote for the job that was very reasonable, along with a comprehensive list of the work that would be performed. Within a short period of time, we scheduled a time for Dave and his crew to start the job. The foreman of the on-site work, whose name is Freddy, was indispensable throughout the process. I was very lucky to have these two professionals guide the work. The job itself was done incredibly efficiently, but with great attention to detail. It took roughly a week for the roof to be installed -- a very short period of time given the size and complexity of the roof, along with the fact that there were two days of rain. The crew made sure that after every day of work they thoroughly cleaned up the worksite. In addition, they arrived promptly in the morning and worked the full day through. Dave, Freddy, and their crew were very respectful of my family and were happy to answer any questions we had. I got regular updates on progress throughout the day from Dave. He was on top of things the entire time. The roof installation was completed yesterday, and it looks fantastic. It makes my whole house look remarkably better. Along with being a true professional, someone who has honed his craft over three decades, Dave is a quality human being who is great to talk to. My whole family enjoyed being around him. I can say the same thing about his whole crew. I was concerned that such a big project would inevitably bring complications and cost overruns, but neither happened. Overall, it was the best experience I can remember having with a contractor, and I can not recommend Dave and Advanced Roofing highly enough.

We are extremely pleased with the results. David and his company are very thorough and the quality of the job is top-notch. We were happy that they came to do work for us in Scarsdale.
