Havzi was great. He fixed the chimney first and then replaced the roof a few days later. The workers were courteous and considerate, arriving at 7:30 am and leaving at 5:00 pm each day. It took two days to finish. The chimney looks terrific and the new roof looks fantastic. Great work at a fair price.
Description of Work: Six feet of chimney replaced and repointed. Roof on our house replaced.

Response from Z-Ipek & Sons Inc
We do apologize for the confusion in addressing your needs. We did respond by doing a drive-by to the work site at a time which was in peak season. Our impression was that it needed to be done right away where we were booked already for the season. We could possibly schedule it for the following year after we give an estimate if still interested in having the work done for the 2016 year. We wish you luck in addressing your general contracting needs.

We do thank you for your continued business with us. We do apologize for your having difficulty in contacting us but try to contact asap. We are a very popular company and receive orders for work to be done ahead of actual time for work to be completed. If you contact us in the middle of the season, it may be difficult to schedule you right away. We will try our best to respond to your concerns more efficiently in the future. Thank you for your overall positive review.

Description of Work: The provider NEVER called back despite two attempts by me to call them, schedule a time for them to inspect the roof. We live in Niskayuna, NY. This is not a scam or anything else. I've used other offers from Angies List successfully, but this has been terrible.

I never got a hold of the provider, though I tried a couple times, and they never got a hold of me. I only added an "Approximate Service Date" of 10/1/14 because I needed one to complete the form. I have no idea why they won't contact me but I'm not interested in the service anymore.

Work went according to schedule; initially looked good HOWEVER quickly discovered that the sub contractors Ipek hired had taken multiple shortcuts. In the month after the job I had to remove the siding on one side in order to add waterproof sheathing, correct a leak around a newly installed window, and replace patches of siding with better fitting parts. In the year since I have had to redo interior molding which had just been glued in place rather than nailed. I want to stress Mr. Ipek was suitably upset about these shortcomings when I spoke with him about it at a chance meeting at Home Depot. However, I had already repaired the damages, so no further action was offered or taken.

They’re terrific. They did a great job. With the chimney, they matched the bricks so well and you cannot tell I have a new chimney. It’s incredible! The worker was wonderful. He was so nice and just so professional. I have nothing but high praise about the work they did. My only problem is that a friend of mine hired them to do his roof and rebuild his chimney. The next week, I contacted them and arranged for them to rebuild my chimney and do the roof repairs. They explained to me that they might not get to me right away because they have a big project and that is of course their priority, which I understood. So they did my friend’s job and after his job was done, two of his neighbours were so pleased with the roof they did for Ted. They hired Ipek to do their chimneys. So, Ipek did Ted’s roof and chimney then he did the two chimneys for the people who signed up after Ted’s job was finished and they never got to me. At that point, it started snowing. They just never got to me so I called them in April. They told me they forgot and I have signed a contract. They came right out and did it immediately. The work was fantastic. I would recommend them to anybody and I would use them any time I need them. Forgetting about me but having times to do two chimneys that were contracted for after mine was bad. The work was good that I really can’t complain and I guess it was an innocent mistake because I hear stories about contractors that don’t show up and they get another job. It wasn’t the case; I just fell through the cracks. I would give them a five star. I’ve had some brick done on my house where one of the walls had to be rebuilt and the other company could not match the bricks but Ipek was able to do it. It’s so perfect. You can’t tell it’s new. If you need a roof or a chimney, use them. It was $2500 minus 10% senior citizen discount and that included the repairs they did to the flashing that the other roofer had messed up. I had a hatch from an old chimney that had been removed and when the other roofer put the new roof on, he should have taken out that hatch and covered it. Ipek did that for me and that was included in the money I paid. I thought that their price was quite fair. I have no complaint about the price.
Description of Work: I used Z-Ipek & Sons Inc. They had to rebuild my chimney and I have an old 1920 house. I had a roofing job about 5 years ago and it wasn’t done well. They had to repair the damage done by that roofer.

They did a very good job. I like the fact that the owners of the company answer the phone, come to your home and get the estimates, explain what they're gonna do. A lot of men are working. They come and they check on the job and make sure things are done to your satisfaction.

The materials are quality. The workmanship, communication and follow up was not good. Nothing like being hit in the face with a handful of roofing nails when you open your attic a week later.
Description of Work: Gave the lowest quote, but did less than quality work. Installed an ill fitting skylight because that was what they had in stock rather than buying the proper size. Vinyl siding was not properly put back on house. Given the run around when I tried to call. They also showed up randomly to work without communicating when they planned to arrive.

We regret that you had a negative experience with our firm. We ordinarily buy direct from the manufacturer and do not have materials sitting around. There is no way that we just put just any skylight in. We were experiencing change of staff and communication was not as efficient as normal. We are trying our best to correct any issues should they arise.

They were terrible. Very shortly after it was replaced there were leaks. The roof was old but it had never leaked before! I called them back and they said there was not anything they could do. They didn't want to take any responsiblity for their errors. If you want a leaky roof call Z Ipek. Beware that after they replace the roof & it leaks they will tell you that you need other things so that you will incure addtional costs there by not taking resposponsibilty. They will not stand by you if there is an error.
