Jim LaHood Construction Inc

in 2012 LaHood installed my roof. A few years later I replaced my drafty old windows. After that I noticed that my house was full of condensation. I had to have fans running and windows open all Winter. I also noticed mold growing on my basement walls and around my windows. I had another company come and check my roof and they discovered that my roof had not been ventilated. The vents had been installed right over insulation, which had turned black with mold. It cost me over $4000 to fix the problem, and it made me sick. DO NOT use this company. They damaged my house and my health.

The work was terrible, as Angie's List had to get involved after I tried with La Hood and the subcontractor who actually came and looked at the rework and promised twice to come back but did not, even after being called more than once. Then as stated, in 2015 when a new second roof was put on; the tear off revealed there was no flashing installed in 2011. All I can conclude from this horrific experience is buyer beware and thankful that I did not recommend them to anyone else.

Very unprofessional. I paid for flashing replacement that wasn't put on. However, I didn't know this until the roof was replaced again in 2015. The roofer brought this to my attention. The roof done by La Hood was estimated overprice and I found out by calling the insurance company for approval and told they were overcharging. The information set off a storm with threats to charge me for roofing tiles that had sat on my roof for two weeks if I backed out of their contract which said the contract was void until all parties were in agreement. Then the subcontractor was horrible. I had tiles that wouldn't lay flat. Calls to La Hood, who called the contractor went unattended by the contractor until I contacted Angie's List who wrote a letter to La Hood with the complaint. It was only then that La Hood marched the guy to my home and sat until her made the repairs. The time lapse and work to get things straight was and F customer service, followed by finding out that the work was incomplete by the roofer who replaced the roof and showed me there was no flashing installed. I also found out the roof was only warranted for 3 years, but was told it should have carried a minimum of 5. If you deal wit this company be sure to dot you Price and their Work. Get a second trust worthy party to check your roof to make sure you are getting what you paid for. Had it not been for Angie's List, I'm sure I would have had legal problems since the Mike Carolous was unhappy that I took the advice on the price from my insurance company.

Great job and very responsive. Would definitely use them again

Pete Corolis represented the company and explained the complete process and price. He was always punctual and professional. he was also always easy to contact and promptly returned my calls. The crew completed the job on schedule and cleaned up the site well.

Quality work, done in a timely matter, and at price based on insurance allowance. Dominic was in regular communication with us and was responsive to calls. Throughout the process he asked us if we were satisfied or if they needed to do anything else to meet our satisfaction. I would recommend this company to others without reservation. They're not the cheapest, but we had cheap work done the last time we replaced a roof and the result was less than satisfactory.

Dominic handled the job from the start to finish, and made sure we knew what to expect. The roof was done on time and looks great!

Fine

Everone associated with this project was knowlegeable and professional. they answered all my questions, showed up on time and completed the job on schedule. This was the second roofing company I had contacted. I did not like the first company's "hard sell" approach. LaHood examined my roof and offered me options for roofing materials. The crew who did the work was very diligent and competent. Clean up was also thorough.

LaHood performed the work they promised when they promised for the price they promised.

I called for a estimate on a roofing job and help with my ins. company. Mike was very eager and promised all kinds of help and that was it...after two or 3 phone calls he never called back and never prepared a bid. It was all talk and no walk. In response. to Mike's comment. It's called communication. If you say you're going to do something and you don't at least communicate why you can't

I phoned LaHood Construction to replace the roof on the house. Salesman (Doug) stopped by to get my insurance details. The salesman wouldn't have showed me shingle samples until I took the initiative to ask myself. I asked as he was getting ready to drive away. They probably would have went ahead and put any old shingles they chose if I wouldn't have taken it upon myself to ask. I feel it is the salesman's job to do the asking. If I would't have had roofing done by someone else in the past, I wouldn't have known. One of the company owners called the day before the roof was done and said he would be over to talk to me the day the roof was being worked on. He said he made it a point to speak to every customer that had roofing done. He never met with me once. It was after a hail storm they were probably very busy, I understand that. I feel that is no excuse. If you make a promise, you should keep it, plain and simple. A phone call would have been fine, but I didn't get that either. He also said he would make sure my insurance company was paying me enough on my claim. That didn't happen either. I also didn't get a follow-up call after the job was completed. The day the roof was done the workers showed up on schedule. They did want me to open my double-drive gate so they could park on the lawn. We were in a flood area with saturated ground so I couldn't allow that as their truck would have become mired in my yard. The roof has held up against snow, heavy rain and wind so far. I do worry however, as they left ragged valley flashing edges overhanging the roof. I do worry that the high winds we are having are going to pull the flashing / shingles up .I suppose I will have to have my son trim them so they are flush with the roof. The original salesman (Doug), stopped by the night the roof was completed at approximately 9PM, unannounced. I was in my pajamas getting ready to go to bed. No advanced warning or phone call. He probably was worried about getting paid. I had more than sufficient cash on hand at the time to pay for four new roofs. I had a $500 coupon for the finished roof. He tried to ADD the coupon to the final amount, instead of subtracting it! My son had to do the math for him. I then asked if he was going to give me a receipt for the work. He was only going to write the word PAID on my insurance papers-I could have done that myself. I finally got it through his head to give me an actual receipt! He had also told me the day I picked out my shingles that I would get papers for tax purposes because I had purchased energy star rated shingles. I never received anything for this either. Then he (Doug) said the roof looked great. How could he have known? It was pitch black outside, and he never even climbed on the roof! I have never had a roof completed before that wasn't inspected by company management. I would have used my old roofer, but unfortunately for me, he was retired. Needless to say, I will never use this roofing company again due to their incompetence. The only thing saving them from receiving an F rating from me is the fact the roof is holding up. To say I am not happy with LaHood Construction would be an understatement.

Very nice person and very responsive but I didn't feel comfortable that they never looked at my roof or house in order to provide what amounted to nothing more than an email with little detail about their bid. It might be an acceptable method of bidding a job but seemed awful casual and disinterested to me.

Last November I needed to have some shingles replaced so I reached out to LaHood Construction. The team at LaHood Construction did a good job with the project and were able to fix it all in the same day. I was very happy with the service that LaHood Construction provided and I would use them again in the future.

Mike came out assessed my damage and within 4 days had a crew out and had completed the task within a day. I was amazed as my roof is steep.

I needed structural repair on my home's roof. I contacted LaHood, solely based on their high ranking at Angie's List. I left a message with their answering service. It took several weeks for a return call, and a couple more weeks before anyone stopped by to inspect my roof. At that point, the "inspector" said he was only qualified to estimate shingle repair, not structural work. A second visit by a second inspector a couple weeks later elicited only that a third estimator would need to stop by. That was it. No more calls, visits, contacts, or anything. By this time, the weather window was closing in. I needed work to be done before winter, so, I abandoned any hope of getting LaHood Construction to provide me with an estimate, let alone perform any repairs. I eventually contracted with another high-ranking Angie's List vendor. Sorry, LaHood. I gave you a chance, and you did not live up to my expectations. Granted, several severe hail storms battered Omaha this past summer, and that put a tremendous work load on ALL roofers. But LaHood's competitors found time to not only estimate the job, but kept the lines of communication open, in keeping me informed as to when they would be able to schedule and complete my repairs.

This company is terrible at communicating with customers about the progress of their work, they do not return phone calls and did not re-roof the house to it's previous state. I will say that they did replace the window well covers that they damaged which was the only positive thing i experienced from my ordeal with them. I feel that they possibly treated me like this because i am a woman or because the house is vacant and for sale so they assumed they could take their time on this job. The roof was left paritally completed for a week which does not look good to prospective buyers, nor does roofing materials being left on the property for weeks while the job was put off. I was told by Doug Rimington of this company that the small size of the house would make it easy to complete and a one day job ( i do have his voicemail). I was very disappointed.

Basically, called for an estimate regarding replacement of roof. Met several times to discuss. This is a good company and responsive to any requests made.

Impressive!

They provided a quick estimate of the replacement roof and were the lowest price of 3 estimates that I had obtained. I selected them to do the work and they had the job completed in 2 days. New roof looks great.

Their bid was inline with the other bids I had, maybe cheaper than some, but they had better ideas on the guttering. They seemed more personable than the rest so we went with them and they did a real good job. We had one little problem at the end and they came right back out and fixed it.

They just did a great job. That's all I can say!

Choose this company for their experience installing ridge vents and use of ice guard not only near eves but also in valleys. Fairly professional except owner did not spend as much time at site as we had expected. Bad weather (high winds, rain, and even snow) more than doubled the estimated project time, understandable. Crew did not always tell us if they planned to come or not. When here, crew was polite and worked hard. Daily cleanup was fairly good and appreciated by us. Difficulties with installing skylight due to non-standard opening were handled well and after several months we have not noticed any leaking.

They were very professional to work with, and helped us with some unique challenges that we had with our roof. When they realized the chimney was in such bad shape, they stopped the job and had a qualified mason come in to rebuild it. They didn't rush through the job to get it done, and made sure it was done right. The new chimney was done very well, and at an extremely reasonable price. We're very happy overall with the service and quality they provided.
