Vondette Roofing

Great. 15 people working on roof . They worked well together and were respectful with my wife. Usually we are cautious with people working around the house but this large crew was great. Great job. They cleaned up well after themselves. Competively priced. Would use them again in a second. $15,000

He will not return phone calls. We were planning on him putting on a new roof. One of the most unreliable and nasty individuals with whom I have tried to hire. Cannot trust him. If something goes wrong you will have trouble with him.

Exceptional work, people, and workmanship.

Very good and quick. They know what they are doing.

I called and left a message for a roofing estimate. Nobody called back so I called again and finally reached someone. He set up the appointment that he never showed up for and never called to cancel. After an hour and a half of waiting for someone my husband called and left a message, but again nobody returned his call. I finally was able to reach the person whom a set the appointment with. He stated that due to the snow storm several days prior he just assumed we would know he couldn't do the estimate so he didn't bother to call. I stated that we did not know he wouldn't be able to do an estimate and a phone call would have been appreciated. At this point he got very rude and snotty. I told him we would not be using Vondette as they were highly unprofessional. I would never use a company who treats potential clients in this manner. Unreliable and unprofessional!

The installation was completed in one day. The only delay was getting on the install schedule.

The roof looks great! Very glad we used this company. They did the job in a day and a half. There was very little debris left in the yard and driveway when they left. They protected our windows and doors during the work. Very nice crew. The only thing that needed improvement was the communication before the job. We weren't sure if they would get to us before winter - then a load of shingles appeared in our driveway and they started the next day about noon.

They did a great job, Cleaned up after themselves. Would use again.

Didn't get exactly what I wanted. The workers showed up on the scheduled day and did the work. I was in the hospital and would have preferred to reschedule as some of the plans weren't done exactly as I expected. The owner was very understanding and has agreed to work to fix the problems as soon as I am home from the hospital. Very good at clean-up. Look forward to ironing out the little details and I'm sure it will be a great improvement on my old gutters, which were falling apart. Overall, good experience so far.

Pete gave us a great price on our roof!

I did not use any of the companies listed because of reviews by friends and/or neighbors Will probably wait until Spring to do roof.

This firm is very prompt and very fast. They send a large crew and and quot;attackand quot; the job. In the process, there was some damage to the shrubs around the house and some and quot;messand quot; found in the grass, but not really a serious problem. They work quietly without loud talk and there are no blaring radios, etc. They are all in and quot;uniformand quot; - meaning matching sweatshirts, etc. The shingles look fine and, so far, no leaks. There was a little lack of attention to detail on the garage roof, but nothing at all serious. Their pricing was competitive, but not the lowest. The work was done in December which might have kept the price down a little.

I called Vondette Roofing to ask for a quotation to remove and replace the shingles on my home. They said they could do that. I asked when we could set up an appointment at my house to do the inspection. They said they didn't need to have anyone home nor needed to meet with me to do the inspection. That they could do the inspection alone. I thought this was strange and didn't think to ask more questions (I should have insisted I be there). After about 2 weeks I got a quote via e-mail to do my shingles ($13,865). The quotation I got from Yeager Roofing was ($14,350). See my review of Yeager Roofing on Angies List as well. The Vondette quote was lower however, the Yeager quotation included improvements to the ventiltion in my attic. And I can't tell what were the exact materials in the Vondette quote. I did choose top of the line underlayment and shingles with Yeager. I relplied to Pete Vondette's e-mail via my own e-mail. I said would be going with a different roofer. I said I was not impressed that he thought he could give me a quotation without even going up on my roof and inside my attic. And to give me a quotation without even discussing the project face-to-face and deciding upon what materials options to use. I told him he seemed a little rushed when I first talked to him to set up the inspection. And frankly, that I was and quot;insultedand quot; by him thinking I would agree to such a large job (agree to his quote he sent in the mail) and commiting to such a large sum of money without even meeting with me. He did respond to my e-mail and was very polite and said he and quot;appreciated my opinionand quot;. I think the issue is most people don't know to get several quotes and to read up on what they should consider when getting a new roof. I suspect they just put themselves at the mercy of the roofers. If the consumer does get several quotes they probably just go with the lowest. In my case, Vondette was lower than Yeager but Yeagers quote included improvements to my attic ventilation. Also, Yeager took the time to inspected my roof and attic. They sat with me and we selected materials together (ventilation materials, under-layment, and shingles) all of which have different prices. And I just got the feeling Yeager was more customer oriented. I also think that the roofers don't want to spend the time needed to properly inspect your house, take the time to review options and prices with you and finally give you a quote without a guarantee they get the job. Yeager Roofing took 2.5 hours doing the inspection and reviewing with me what they found, going over material of construciton options with my wife and then giving me the quote. All in our first meeting. This is a lot of time invested by the roofer. Yeager, in that 2.5 hour meeting says they will give you 10% off if you decide to go with them during that first meeting. Wheras Vondette doesn't spend much up-front time on the inspecton and not time meeting with the customer. So, both companies address this issue diffferently. I chose Yeager because I wanted to be an informed consumer. And the prices between the two were very close. Yeager guaranteed their work. And they fixed a ventilation problem in my attic. Advice, always make sure the roofer does a thurough inspection of the roof and attic space. They sit with you to discuss what they found. They go over options on roofing materials and prices. Then give you a quote. If you decide to get a qutoe from Yeager (roofer I went with) get their quotation LAST because they will give you the 10% off only if you make the decision in the first inspection/quotation meeting. So you'll need the other quotes to compare with at that time. Happy roofer hunting!

We might go with him. Somebody at work kind of knows this guy as a friend that is why we are leaning towards him. He quoted us $2,620. We have put it on hold for now. He was really cordial and thorough.

Incredible job from start to finish. Showed up exactly when promised. carefully prepared area, did the job in 4 hours and cleaned up. This is an incredible company. The workers were polite and knew their jobs, and we have a beautiful roof. I would recommend this company to everyone.

It was a large and steep residential roof, but it took only 2 days. I counted 18 or 19 men on the job the first day--could never see them all--and 15 on the second day. They were very neat. The foreman checked every detail I asked about, and went up himself to pound down a spot. All lines were straight and regular. We have lots of shrubs and flowers--damage was minimal. Some burn to the lawn, due to the heat. Clean up was excellent. They were very prompt, as were their contractors with the supplies and refuse container. All men were friendly. At the end several wanted to talk about how nice it looked--they took pride in their work. The job was delayed due to weather--they wouldn't start if rain was in the forecast. Office was very professional, prompt as well, and kept us informed.

His name is Pete Vondette. He did a roof on our previous house about 15 years ago. He does a good job. When he did the original roof, I went to work and when I got home, they were completely done and there wasn't a scrap of anything left in the yard. There were no pieces of roofing or nails. It was very well taken care of. They were on time and they did a very good job of cleaning up after themselves. It was a very good job. They were on time for the quote and pretty much in line with anybody else.

I called for an estimate on siding and gutters for my house and garage. It was set up for a Thursday and he was to email with the results. I did not hear back on Friday so I called and they said the man doing the estimate went up north instead of writing it up. That the paperwork was in his truck and that they didn't forget about me. He would be back in the office by Monday and I would hear back then. It is Wednesday and I still have not heard back. We will be going with other choices.

They were excellent. They did a great job on the roof, they did it all in one day. They cleaned up well after themselves also.

9:I have no don'ts, only dos for this company.

The whole process went well, without hitches. I would definitely recommend them to others. In fact, have already done so.

Previously installed roofing was not nailed through nailing area, so during the very hot summer of 2012 the old roof failed. Vondette Roofing completely removed the failing North side of the roof (the South was done by a differnt roofer and had not failed), repaired a couple of areas where the roof boards were soft and reroofed the North side with matching shingles in one day. Each member of the team knew the job very well and worked diligently until the job was done. Even the new crew member were very efficient as the more experienced kept them informed of what was needed next. After finishing the area was left clean and they did not damage any landscaping.

Every single thing about Vondette Roofing was excellent. The people were professional and friendly. They were personable and answered all my questions. They were here on time and they completed the roof in one day. There were about thirty of them showed up one day at 7 o'clock in the morning. Everybody had their own little job that they did and it was just incredible. I did get a couple of quotes and Vondette was in the middle of the range. I had heard from other people who had had them do work, and they were really impressed with the company. One of my family members worked for them years and years ago. I couldn't say anything more positive about them. Even the cleanup was perfect, I didn't find one nail in my yard at all, not one. I would grade them A+ if you would let me.

Vondette roofing was very prompt in answering calls and providing estimate. Pete was easy to talk to, and patiencely explained all work to performed. He highlited some other things that needed to be done, even though he did not perform that type of work, he just knew he should be taken care of and made recommendations. On the appointed day, a crew of approx. 20 men and 4 trucks and trailers arrived exactly at the time agreed too. They carefully protected the side of the house and bushes with plywood sheets, and were very carefull not to damage plants or siding. They were all friendly and well dressed in company shirts and jackets. Very professional, and it was a pleasure to watch a really good team do the job! They found and replaced some damaged wood in the main roof structure and replaced the entire roof decking surface. The entire operation took just one day, and the clean-up was the best I have ever seen, and I have had several roofing jobs done! Gutters and downspouts were done on the agreed date and at the agreed price. Again, excellent workmanship, and with both jobs, Pete personally followed up with a phone call later to make sure were were totally satisfied. It is rare, in this day and age to find a company who delivers more than they promise and at the price agreed too. Being able to reach Pete Vondette, the owner, via cell phone at anytime was a real plus! No answering machine messages that somehow never get returned or a office person telling you and quot;I am sorry, he is out of the office!and quot; I do not often recommend anyone, but this is one company that deserves my highest praise, and would use them again without getting other estimates. Most importantly, THEY ARE HONEST!

Very well. They cleaned all roofing, nails, and other garbage up.
