It didn't go well. I talked to them initially and they were really hopeful. We actually went to them because another company that we were using basically bailed on us. I explained my situation and asked them to come in to assess the half work that have been done and let us know what it would cost to correct the work and also to find out how to walk that needed to be done and how much that will cost. They were responsive initially and it seemed like only one person was doing the estimate and someone in his family passed and so, one day he was supposed to come back to get more information and he never came. I called him and he said that he was going through some things and will get back to me. He didn't call me back and couple of weeks later, I called the company and they told me he was at a funeral and that he would reach out to me. It was just like a lot of oh, I'll e-mail you tomorrow and it takes like three weeks.

The salesperson discussed quality materials for siding and the insulation, materials we ultimately decided to purchase. We expressed that theirs was our first estimate and that we wanted to make an informed decision. He stressed Hobor's time in business alone after that and knocked competitors, as well, which wasn't really enough to sell us on the most expensive estimate for this work. We also spent less with someone else, who installed new sliding doors with built-in horizontal blinds. After the estimate, we never heard from the company again.

I have used them about 4 times and have good work, but each time I call them they tell me I have to wait 7-10 days. I feel like a business should treat everyone the same and not make someone wait just because the job is smaller. I am dissappointed in their business. They always tell me if I can't wait then find someone else. Each time I call the office I feel like they give me the run around and also that they are doing me a favor.
Description of Work: I had them out to work on some collar vents on the roof that was caused by squirrells eating it away.

Overall it went well and I'm very happy to deal with this company.
Description of Work: My roof is about 10-12 years old and it has mutiple leaking problems. I have called several Roofers and they just gave me estimate to replace a new roof.A W Horbor is the only one company explained to me that my roof should last at least another 5 years. They sent a technician to check my roof and found that the previouse roofers did not nail the shingles properly and it created the problems. A W Horbor people are very honest and kind people to help custmer like me. I will definitely recomend a friend and will use them again in the future.

They showed up on time, were very professional, and cleaned up after they finished. There was a small leak weeks after they completed the job and they promptly sent someone to access the problem. It was fixed at no additional charge to me. They were the only company that was willing to give me a guarantee. Several roofers told me they could only guess what the problem was and, if there was a problem after they finished, there would be an additional charge. I have since recommended this company to several friends.
Description of Work: They accessed and fixed several leaks in my roof. They were the only company willing to look into my attic to see where the leaks were coming from. They replaced the flanges on my roof and sealed the roof vents. They secured loose nails. They also replaced damaged wood on my bay window and covered it with vinyl aluminum to replace a piece torn off in a storm. They installed fascia board that was missing and installed a shutter which had come off in a storm.

I called for appointment. He came with no ladder for the roof project the first time to give an estimate. He promised to come back but was no show. When I called him back he told me he is busy and never showed up again. Now he lost my business for ever!

Overall I was extremely pleased with this company and would definitely use them again. They returned my initial phone call immediately, and someone was sent right out to give me an estimate; I had needed loose siding and a j-leader repaired on the side of my townhouse which had been leaking into my neighbor's attic. I also wanted them to check a suspicious section of my roof that I wasn't sure was leaking. As a single homeowner I was nervous about the cost, but they considered these repairs a small job and said it would cost about $100.00 an hour and would call me if they found something that would require more work and hence cost more. The work was scheduled for Jan. 4 and I didn't need to be home. When I came home from work that day, I could see the repairs were done. I received a bill in the mail two days later and was thrilled with the cost. The siding and j-leader were repaired as was a small section of roof that needed to be re-sealed. I couldn't be happier!
Description of Work: Loose siding re-nailed, j-leader repaired, roof section re-sealed.

The work was completed in two parts: first the exterior work and the windows, then the kitchen renovation. The contractor planned both jobs in detail and consulted us at every stage. The exterior workmen worked throughout last winter's severe weather with no complaints. Both they and the interior workers were considerate and made the renovation process as pleasant as these jobs ever get. The standard of work was good and any minor issues were satisfactorily dealt with.

They were fine but at first there was some confusion about our understanding of when they were going to come out to do the work. They told me there was some inner-office communication problem but eventually came out to do the work. We have not had any rain so I can't check to see if what they did worked. They were very professional, punctual and overall I would say they are very good. I am going to call them to check on the work warranty that they provide. I will use them again in the future.

HObor came several times, was unfamiliar with the product I had used, didn't suggest another, spoke to the company who had supplied the previous product and then came up with an estimate of $28,000.00. An incredible amount. I had paid $10,000 in the past. Although there was additional work the people I did use came in with a bid of $18,000. they did an incredible job.
Description of Work: Although Peter Hobor was responsive, his bid came in excess of $10,000 more than anyone that had b id on the job. I could understand a couple of thousand difference from the others but $10,000 is ridiculous. I did use someone from Angie's list that prove to be excellent and would not hesitate to recommend them for the work they performed. They were not the lowest bidder and certainly not the highest. I have extensive decking and roofing that required waterproofing. I had used fiberglass coatings and other waterproofing products that didn't work. This particular product is supposed to last twenty years.

The job took a little longer than expected because of the storms. I chose them because they have a very good reputation in the neighborhood. You get used to seeing their trucks around all the time in our town and I have always heard good things about them. Everyone I have talked to know the owner by name and they say that Tony came and did this and Tony came and did that. He has always been very receptive and very comfortable to work with. He is very open and always there with the numbers and always tells you exactly what is going to happen and how it is going to work. He actually had the best price of the guys that I talked to. The siding was done very well and they cleaned everything up. All the edges and everything were done very well. They were on time everyday. The foreman was great and he was always there to answer questions. He even answered questions off the topic of what the job was. The guys who were doing the work were great as well. They were respectful to my wife. They were quiet when they needed to be quiet and they were really good.

After hurricane Irene we had 2 roof leaks that needed repairs. I called 3 roofers listed in Angie's List and chose AW Hobor. When I spoke with Dave, he was very nice. He spent time talking to me about the problems we were having. His was the only company that offered me an hourly charge to review and repair the roof/shingles as needed. He estimated that I'd need between 1 and 3 hours worth of work. This was considerably less than the other estimate I had received for the same repair work. The repair person and quot;Jerac?and quot; called me to tell me he was on his way, and what time he should arrive -- and he was right on time. He went around with me and looked at the damage, and found a vent pipe that had disconnected from the roof cover, and a crack in a shingle at the junction of a gable and the main roof. We had spare shingles from when we had the roof installed, so he used them to repair the crack. He took a picture of the crack to show me what he found. My only issue -- I had asked him to email me the picture so I could show it to my spouse, and he never sent it to me. I asked him to check a couple of other places where the roof transitions from flat to dormer. He did and said he saw nothing else that needed repairs. He stayed for an hour and 15 minutes. I was concerned that when I got the bill I'd be charged for more time than that -- and I was very happy to see that I was charged for exactly 1 hour and 15 minutes. We had another downpour recently and had no further damage. I believe AW Hobor (and Jerac) did a good job, but I imagine that we'll still have to wait for another hurricane before we're 100% sure that the roof has no further problems. Overall, I am very pleased with this experience.
Description of Work: We had 2 leaks that showed up during Hurricane Irene. One was a crack in our ceiling that got worse during the storm, the other was brand new water damage. We needed the leaks repaired. We had AW Hobor come out and they found that the upstairs bath vent pipe had disconnected from the roof, and he found that water had gotten in at that point, He reconnected the pipe in the attic and then went on the roof to caulk the flange around the vent cover. He also re-caulked another flange that had lifted up. Then he looked at the area of the other leak and found a cracked shingle. He nailed and caulked a replacement shingle over the cracked shingle. Then he looked all over the roof to see if there were any other problem areas, and found nothing else that needed repairs.

Overall I am very happy with the work they completed. They are a little expensive; but you get what you pay for, reliability and quality work doesn't come cheap
Description of Work: I had lost some siding during a rain storm; which they replaced and my front door needed repairing from years of wear and tear which they fixed with siding to secure and make operable. They completed the work as promised, in a timely efficient way and best of all they cleaned up after the work was done.

I got a quote on the phone based on the pictures I e-mailed of the current situation of the roof. We agreed on the price and the job was scheduled right away for a week later. The person who showed up for the job was a total professional. Besides what he was supposed to fix, he also went around the whole house, hammered in all the nails that were popping out from various different spots of the gutters around a 2 storey house. The job done was exceptional.

Despite Tony Hobor's prompt visit, I never received a quote from him, never heard from him again. Don't know what happened, but there were several other top-rated, GAF (shingle manufacturer) top rated contractors out there in this poor economy and I went with someone else and won't try Hobor again in the future.
Description of Work: This long-standing local company had a good rating so I tried them for a quote on replacing the 20+ year old roof on my home. Tony Hobor himself came promptly to my home to give me a quote on roofing.

The workers came very quickly days later and performed the repair efficiently and effectively. They repaired the damage and even inspected the rest of the roof for any other damage and secured some other problem areas. I give AW Hobor my highest recommendation for their responsiveness, excellant customer service and professional and expert repair. Thank you AW Hobor for a job well done and thanks to Anthony for all your support. Keep up the good work.
Description of Work: AW Hobor came out and performed an emergency repair on my roof after a nasty wind storm blew one of my gables and part of the fascia off the side of my house. It unfortunately occurred over a holiday weekend but AW Hobor called back first thing on the next business day, was very responsive, very helpful, and very professional. Anthony, the representative on the phone was very patient with me as I struggled with explaining what happened, what the various parts effective were called, not having much experience with roofing. He offered an innovative way for me to explain what happened, asking me to send a cell phone picture of the damaged area. This helped paved the way for a clear picture of what was needed for the repair.

Overall I couldn't be more pleased. I love to deal with contractors that are honest and helpful. AW Hobor fit this to a "T." I will definitely keep them in mind for when we will eventually have to replace our roof.
Description of Work: My roof was leaking. The company came that afternoon and inspected the roof. As I thought, the flashing around the vent pipes had worn away over the years. He checked the whole roof, repaired the flashing and was on his way. No overcharges. No trying to get me to do other services I didn't want. Just a professional doing a professional job. The bill was mailed to my house the following week and was exactly what I expected.

I had used them before a year ago. When I called them, they were very prompt. They came out and provided the sufficient information. They got the job done, billed me, and left. The entire process was very seamless. The job was well done and they were honest. I spent about $185, including labor charges. They do provide information before the work is done. They came out on the said date. I will use them again in the future.
