Hickman Metal Roofing

Both my daughter and I were impressed with Randy's knowledge and professionalism. My daughter and husband have decided to go with a traditional roof so they are not contracting with Hickman (they only do Metal roofing). Otherwise, we wish they did traditional roofing.

The ancient adage that you get what you pay for is absolutely true. Mr. Don Hickman of Don Hickman Metal Roofs and his staff were absolute professionals. From the time they were contacted for a quote until the job was finished I was kept informed of every step of the process. Steve and his installation crew were respectful of the surrounding property, on time, patient with questions, and meticulous with their installation of the roof and repair of the chimney. After interviewing many contractors for this job my selection of Don Hickman Metal Roofs turned out to be 100% spot on. I would, and have, recommended Don and he is team to several members of our community.

Excellent, prompt service great follow up.

I have attempted to get an estimator out to my property for weeks. I have called and left multiple voicemails at the office. If I can get someone on the phone, they tell me they will have someone else call me to schedule a date. Once I got a date scheduled, after multiple attempts, the estimator didn't show up. Not only did I not get the courtesy of a cancellation notice, but the customer service is awful.

We were told it would take 3 days to install. They installed our roof in one and a half days and sent double the amount of men we were told they would send. We are very pleased with the work.

Chris quickly scheduled an appointment and arrived on time. After measuring the roof (4,729 sq ft), he sat down with me and thoroughly explained the different options, the installation process, and answered all my questions. Chris was very knowledgable and professional. He was also respectful and did not pressure me for a decision before I was ready. I told him I was still waiting on a few more proposals and he understood. He provided a prompt, detailed proposal and the price was consistent with the proposals I had received from other companies. He also made several followup calls to see where I was in the decision-making process and to answer any questions I might have. I have nothing but good things to say about Chris. The reason I did not go with Hickman is two-fold: They do not offer rigid installation. Rather, for attic ventilation, they will installed a roof-mounted fan. Chris explained the disadvantages of rigid installation, but based on my own research, I was not convinced. Secondly, while they do perform a wind mitigation inspection to determine what kind of roof-to-ceiling connection you have, they will not perform the double strap upgrade required to receive the maximum insurance premium reduction. Chris said I would have to contract with a third-party to have the work done. Of course, your insurance company may have different requirements so this may not be a consideration for you, but I was after the greatest premium reduction available. Overall, dealing with Chris was a pleasurable experience and I highly recommend that you contact Hickman if you are considering a metal roof.

Derek arrived ON TIME! He was pleasant and explained the differences between a metal roof and a shingle roof. Showed me how his product worked and was installed. Took his time measuring my roof and even told me about a problem he spotted with my porch roof that needed to be attended to. I haven't made up my mind yet if I'm going with shingle or metal roof, but Hickman Roofing is at the top of my list because they took the time to make me feel comfortable and understand the roofing process and what should be expected from any company. Thanks!

Don Hickman personally came out to our house, walked through what the steps will be for the processs from ordering metal sheeting, to how the crew will work through the steps to laying the roof. Cleanup was discussed, as tarps will be layed over landscaping, nails will be picked up, magnetic roller will go through to ensure all nails are removed. Signed the contract and provided a start date and supply order date.

It was a little rough at first due to weather. Once the weather situation had improved, they were here every day, Including Saturday and Memorial Day, to get the roof finished. I could not be happier. The roof is wonderful and I am so glad I went with metal. For the record. the roof is no louder when than a regular roof. My neighbors are asking about my roof. They are surprised how affordable the roof was and they agree with me when I say it looks great. The only downside, is that the roof so good I had to pressure wash the house to bring it up to the roof's standards. If you are thinking about getting a metal roof, use Hickman. They are the best!!!!

Hickman Metal Roofing installed a new metal roof on my home in 2010. They claimed they offered a maintenance contract to clean and inspec the roof annually, though no contract was ever offered. They told me nobody else but them should ever walk on the roof. They cleaned the roof in 2011 and 2012 at my cost. But in 2013 they told me they could no longer clean the roof because their worker's comp carrier would not allow it. They do not stand behind their product at all. I would not purchase a roof from them again.

A crucial decision by us was to remove all gutters and repair fascias and soffits as needed. There was considerable insect damage to fascias. This was because original builder had laid metal roof that extended 4" beyond fascias and then scabbed on wood to facias so the gutters would catch at least some of the water. The scabbed materials prooved to be mainly a house for insects and a place for water to be held by the materials. Randy, the sales man, is a pleasant person. But, his job is to sell you a roof. It's your job to be sure that you are putting your roof on a solid base. Randy writes our an agreement including a payment scheme: Pay for the metal (~1/3) up front. Pay the next 1/3 after the underlayment is completed. Final payment on completion. There is really no time or place to address any concerns that might arise. The only role that management plays is to type out a bill. I found this to be an awkward arrangement for me and the foreman. Another problem: We tried to coordinate the timing of the roof work with the removal by us of an unwanted skylight. We asked that the roofers began their work on the highest level while we replaced the skylight on the lower level. The roofer showed us that was not to be. We managed to deal with the problem. But, this decision lead to a stupid program in which the roofers had to clamber over the underlayment on the lower level to carry materials to the upper level. A complaint deserves a positive comment: The workers were very competent. They showed considerable skill in working and shaping the metals. I was very pleased with the care and concern that they showed in finishing the metal work.

I used a roofing contract Hickman Metal Roofing in Gainsville, Florida. It was about eight-nine months ago, he did a great job though. It went good, they did a great job. They were professional and got it done on time and it looks good. The roof doesn't leak. We spent $10,000.

I worked extensively with this group on a metal roof project. The sales guy was not very knowledgeable but he was very persistent. After investing many hours working with him, he realized that he could not due the job due to scheduling conflicts on his side and I had to find a alternative roofer. This was inconvenient as I had based historic board approval on their samples. I was only able to approximately match their sample and I had to review with historic board based on this change.

We contacted several roofers about a leak we had and decided to go with a whole new roof rather than another patch/repair. We looked at a shingle roof and metal roof and even though the price of the metal was higher, we were impressed with Hickman's presentation and attention to detail. We contracted for the new roof in October of 2012, but were advised that due to heavy rains and a backlog that we would be queued and should not expect construction to begin for a couple of months. Hickman came and covered our leak with a tarp and made sure that the roof did not leak in the interim. There were a couple of other issues with scheduling the crew showed up the first of the year and got right to work. The crews cleaned up each day and worked hard to get our new roof installed. During the final walk-through we found some relatively minor issues that needed attention (antenna reattached crooked, some metal was not 'tucked' under well and a few other aesthetic problems. We called and Hickman walked through everything with us, we made up a punch list and the crew was out the next day to fix everything. Overall, we are very impressed with the crew/office staff and the foreman. Our new roof looks great and we hope to see the economic benefits this coming summer (lower air conditioning bills). Hickman installed two solar-powered attic fans and a new skylight as well. We haven't had a rain yet so we'll have to see how well it does under fire, but we are very pleased with our investment and would not hesitate to recommend metal roofing in general and Hickman Metal Roofing's installation and professionalism. We chose the Image II roof. It is a little more expensive, but doesn't show screws/bolts and polar white color. Metal roofs are more expensive than shingle, but we hope it's worth the investment.

They did an excellent job, everyone on the job was polite, clean, and worked hard every day they were here. They said what they were going to do, and got it done right.

This was just an estimate request, see above for details.

Considering the weather delays and extremely hot sun, we had a smooth installation.

They did a fantastic job. They gave us a whole list of names of people who had also used their services. We were able to go see the people that we called. They did a good job with our roof. We haven’t needed any work done since then. They are just extremely good. We had one issue where you could see light shining through. He was back out within 3-4 days to fix the issue. You cannot hear the rain. We don’t even need to have a fan in the attic anymore because it stays cooler with the aluminum roof.

We really disliked the length of time it took to get it done and the quality of workmanship of the first crew they had out here. The second crew was good. We wouldn't recommend them.

Everything went very well and I can't recommend them highly enough.

Although I have not gotten a new roof, I will be going with Hickman roofing. Their quote may have been a little more than the competitors, but Jim was able to answer all my questions - and I feel secure knowing that the employees who would work on my house are not sub contractors.

This is a company that?s with Hickman Construction, which is very convenient. While that company was re-installing my roof, this company was able to install velux solar tubes. I have an older home that?s built in 1975, and it has some dark areas. I don?t have many windows, and these solar tubes simply look like a light fixture in the ceiling, but no skylight was actually cut out from the ceiling. During this process, they brought out the velux representative to help me with decisions of placement to get the best amount of light. The amount of light that is entered through these tubes is phenomenal. I was originally planning to only have two installed, but because I was so amazed at how much light these tubes let in, I ended up getting five more installed. The tubes that were used were for the fixed, rigid velux tubes, which are top of the line. I?m happy with their services and I would recommend these to others. My family and friends have been amazed at the change of the look & feel inside my home.

Overall, the experience went very well. The quality of their work, their knowledge of roofing and being able to correct existing issues are a few things that really stood out about my experience with this company. They were also very responsive to my phone calls. Their employees were top-notch; arrived promptly, worked hard, and did a great job. They went beyond the scope of what most contractors do. Metal roofing is not cheap, but I feel like the quality of the material used & the great work that was completed made the price reasonable. They cleaned up well during the job and also after the job. They were careful not to damage any landscaping during this process. I'm very happy with their services and I would highly recommend them to others.

Contractor kept in good contact with us to schedule an appointment for estimate. Was punctual and very knowledgeable. We decided against a metal roof, but most likely would have used this company if we had gone that route.

I had Hickman re-roof my house; they did an excellent job. The only thing they did not attend to was to clean the gutters after removing the old shingles and roofing nails. They completed the job in one week. Any questions I had were answered promptly. Definitely a class act, and you get what you pay for with this company. Had I called them and complained about the gutter mess, they would probably have come out and done it, as they want satisfied customers.
