. I am extremely pleased with this company and have mentioned this to friends who were looking for roofers.
Description of Work: The crew showed up at 9am on the day of service. They informed us they were here and immediately started to work. They stripped off the old roof and began laying the back roof first, then moved to the front roof. They were careful and neat every step of the way, only one small piece of tar paper flew off the roof while they were working. When they finished they carted away all of the old roof and insured the the yard was clean before leaving. In the weeks following the job I only found one nail that had washed down the drainpipe from the gutter.

Did not go with this company.
Description of Work: I contacted the company for an estimate to replace the roof on our house. Their representitive showed up and measured the roof to be replaced. We sat down and discussed the cost and what they were going to do in replacing the roof. The one thing that sticks in my mind was the 50 years shingles they would install. I'll be dead in half that time. He did not seem to be interested in actually doing the job. When it was all over I was presented a price on the back half of his business card. No details, just a price on the back of the card. I felt very uncomfortable with dealing with this company. I decided to go with another company that was $5400.00 cheaper and did a great job.I still have the card with the price! Thank god my gut feeling was correct. Maybe their reputation proceeds them but next time it would be nice to get a real detailed estimate if they expect to get the job.

Response from Van Derhoof Roofing Co Inc
In a response to this members comment; 50 year or lifetime shingles are all that is offered now. We did not try to upsell you. We were aware that you had two other prices that were significantly lower and did not feel we needed to write out a proposal at that time. Please fell free to contact me at any time in the future regarding this matter or if you have any future roof issues that need immediate attention. I am sorry to leave a bad taste in your mouth. ----Chip Van Derhoof

They were respectful of my home. They had done my whole roof about 5 years ago and that's why I called them back. They are very reliable and a good company. They do nice work. They do what they say. They are a little bit pricier than the other contractors, but they are worth the price. I would use them again in the future if need be.
Description of Work: I used the services of Vanderhoof Roofing Co Inc in August. They had installed a new roof for me about 5 years ago and then during this last winter I had some seepage around the chimney. It was not the roofing fault, but it was because of the way the chimney had originally been sided. After the chimney was repaired, Vanderhoof came out and redid the flashing and so forth around the chimney.

Vanderhoof did work quickly on main roof. They were very flexible on schedule to do the front porch and back extension roofs, coming back several weeks later to do those after I had jacking completed on those parts of the house. After the main part of the house was done, there was debris (dust, wood bits) in the attic from the work. Although they said the estimator should have told me that their clean up was exterior, not interior, they readily agreed to return and clean up. All work was done to my satisfaction, high quality, professionally and quickly. Clean up was excellent. I knew Vanderhoof was more expensive than most competitors but I am completely glad I chose them. I got what I paid for.

We had no problems with them. Everything went according to plan. They were here only for one day to do it. As far as I know everything went off right. There were no objections. His price was reasonable. We usually get quotes from people and we must have done that.

They seemed to have a pretty good grasp on things. We just decided against them because they were one of the higher bids. The estimate was free. They were quite knowledgable in explaining the estimate. He definitely talked about installing a quality roof. They were going to use all new decking which made the price higher so there were good reasons on why their estimate was higher. We saw their work on the house next door. They did a good job on the cleanup and seemed to be working together as a team. They came to give the estimate when they said they would and they were on time.

Very responsive, up front about costs including potential for additional cost. Timely and courteous workers. Came back to repair gutters 2 years following roof install. Have used them on multiple projects over last two years with same results. They are the most expensive roofer I received estimates from but we got what we paid for - great job, no hassle.

There is no story to tell, I got an estimate and chose a different roofing company.
Description of Work: Vanderhoof was one of three companies who provided estimates for a new roof. They were prompt and very professional but unfortunately their price was nearly double that of the lowest bidder (who also came highly recommended) and $2,500 higher than the middle-range estimate. All three companies used essentially the same architecural-grade materials so I went with another company.

They came out and did an estimate for an entire roof before they started and gave me several options of different replacement products. I wanted to replace the roof for the entire time that I wanted to live in the house, so I needed an indefinite replacement product. They set us up with a product that would have a 25 year guarantee, labor, and product. They came out and started on the day they said they would start. They found some rotted wood underneath which I anticipated because of the state of the roof I was having replaced. They replaced the roof at the rate they said that they were going to replace it and it did not inflate the previous estimate, but it was within what I was told to expect. They did a great job and all within the period I thought. They also found the problem for why the wood was rotting underneath and that was because the venting system was not put in properly, so they fixed the problem that caused the original rotting. I spent about $16000 on that service.
Description of Work: I used Vanderhoof Roofing in June 2010 and they stripped the roof and re-laid another roof for me.

The job went very well overall. I have used them before and they have put a complete roof on my house in the past. I think that they are a reliable company. They are a local company. I think it is the second or third generation. They come when they say they would and they clean up afterwards. They are available if there are any problems. They come right out immediately and address them. I hardly had any problems with their last job.

I just moved into this house and knew that the first thing to be done was to replace the 30 year old roof. There was significant soffet damage in the back of the house and wood that had rotted the gutters straight off the house. Shingles were falling off the house and I knew there was going to be a hefty expense in replacing it. I called several roofers in the area and all of them low balled the estimate and likely just gave me numbers to just put shingles on the roof and not fix anything. I called Van DerHoof and they came out and walked me through everything they saw. From replacing all the rotted wood in the back of the house, to replacing gutters and roof vents they gave me a number that was adequate for what I was expecting to be fixed. When it came time to do the work, Van DerHoof sent 5 professionals to the house to do the job. They had all the tools and equipment they needed and were extremely efficient with their time. During the course of the tear off, I was brought outside on several occasions to be shown various portions of the rotted wood and was again explained in detail how it was going to be fixed. In one case, I was shown how a bathroom vent that was venting too close to the roof vent was causing wood in the area to rot. Van DerHoof moved that vent to be higher up in the roof and did not charge me for the extra work needed to do that. After the first day of the job (a Friday), I decided to mow my lawn. I was worried that I would run over nails kicked off the roof in the removal of the old roof. Since Van DerHoof did such a good job in cleaning up the old plywood and shingles, I only found 1 nail while mowing my entire lawn. After the second day of the job, the two trailers that were delivered to my house (one to hold waste, the other to hold tools) were removed within 12 hours of the job's completion. I was left with a spectacular roof and absolutely zero headaches. Going into this knowing that Van DerHoof has been in the roofing business in Syracuse for over 50 years and knowing that there was a reason they were priced on the high end of all the roofers I had looked into actually made me feel better about the quality of the service i was getting.
