Contacted Hoolan and was told it would be a while before they could do any work. that was fine. they came out and did an estimate for the damage from the storm. I have filed an insurance claim and want to get the roof repaired. I contacted them b/c of their good ratings on Angie's List. However, they never sent me an estimate. I followed u p2 times with calls and never got a response. I do not understand why they would go through the trouble of coming to my house to do an estimate and then never actually send it to me. I really want to get my repairs done and was willing to wait until they had time in their schedule. My experience with them has been very disappointing.

They are really very good. I thought the price was good and very competitive. The insurance guy who went up on the roof to look at the winter damage said it was a very good flat roof. He is listed on a national slate roof website, that's why I chose him. I have a 90 year old house with a 90 year old slate roof so I wanted someone who could do a good job. This winter was especially tough, but they managed to set my appointment and he showed up on time. It took a week to get me the estimtate, but they were very good. They are the only ones I'd let up on my roof. Once you find someone who does slate repair well, you wanna keep using them. He becomes familiar with the roof and the age of the roof.
Description of Work: Hoolahan Roofing replaced a flat roof over a porch and slate tile repair. They were also here this morning in response to winter weather damage, gutters had fallen off, etc. He also referred me to someone who could replace my front door for me.

Mr. Hoolihan was very professional. It did take a few weeks to get an estimate since they were busy due to all the roof and gutter damage due to our severe winter. We ended up not using him because we went back to our builder since our house was less than 5 years old, but i was satisfied with his estimate and expertise and would not hesitate to use him in the future.

Although inundated with work from the snow storm, he responded quickly to an email inquiry. (I think the company prefers email over phone calls - his voice mailbox was full by phone). Based on his overall Angie's A rating already, I told him I didn't need an estimate first; fortunately my insurance company didn't require it either. He was able to do the work within a week of my call. Highly responsive, well done and good cleanup,

Paul and his assistant arrived on 02/19/2010 and proceeded with the long handeled roof sweeps to remove the snow. He was honest enough to admit he did not repair Awnings, but assured me that if our roof caused a problem because of the ice and snow melt. to give him a call! He and his partner than removed any of the ice and snow from the area it fell in.
Description of Work: We had a tremendous snow falls earlier in the month and the snow piled up on our aluminum awning. I called Paul and asked for his help on 02/10/10 due to the fact that the snow was causing the awning to buckel and I was afraid it woul colapse. Paul Hoolahan called back and said he was overwelmed with work, but would make every effort to help me.

Paul Hoolahan came over as promised and gave the best quote. He was upfront about the length of time it would take before he could get started. The roofers arrived in mid November and finished in Mid January. The weather was prohibitive and the reason for the extended down time. There were a couple of weekends when the crew could have worked had they wanted to, (Perhaps they were busy else where) The jobsite was cleaned up everyday before the crew left. When it comes time for us to replace the front half of the roof I will definitely call Paul Hoolahan.
Description of Work: All three owners of a three unit row house in Squirrel Hill needed roof work. We cooperated and hired Paul Hoolahan to remove the existing slate on the rear side of the house only and replace with asphalt shingles. Each owner had a few extra things done separate to the roof job. Old slates removed, rotten roof boards replaced, all chimneys and vents re-flashed, rubber ice guard installed for around $10 grand. The rotten roof boards were replaced at a separate cost for each individual owner. Also each owner had a little additional work done such as new gutter, aluminum facia and soffit and replaced slates on the front side of the house. I won't say the price was excellent but certainly reasonable. I used to do construction work and still have a feel for what these jobs should cost Paul's price was better than the other quotes and far better than some.

Response from Hoolahan Roofing & Remodeling Company Inc
I appreciate every call that comes in. The fact that I didn't get back to you had nothing to do with the size of the job, it was just the amount of calls that have been coming in. As I've said before, I try to get back to everyone, (even when I'm calling to let them know I'm too busy), but this has been an incredibly busy year, and unfortunately, sometimes I can't get back to everyone, as much as I would like to. Thanks for considering my company. Paul K. Hoolahan

Paul came the very day I contacted him to look at the roof and make an estimate. The other roofer I contacted immediately told me he did not work on slate. Paul was upfront about this being a smaller job that he would fit in among some larger jobs. We communicated via email and he kept me abreast of his schedule. He completed the job in one day.
Description of Work: Replace approximately 20 slate tiles on my roof. Slate shingles often are a problem for roofers - not all will take a job with slate. Paul was able to match our slate tiles.

The owner of the company came out to give me the estimate. He was very nice, courteous, and helpful when he came out to give me the estimate. The only reason that I chose not to go with them at this time is that they could not come out until November or December and I could not have them out during the holidays. I am looking into using them next year.

He came out and gave us a free estimate. We liked his estimates. We had other companies come out and say that we needed a new roof. We made it clear to all of them that we were trying to keep the cost down the road for a couple of years. We liked him because instead of giving a 100% solution of redoing the roof he gave us 90% solution to refill the roof. He was confident that we could get another 3 to 5 years out of that roof so we hired him. He came and did the work when we had been on a vacation. He sent us the email informing us what exactly he did for us. I appreciate it. We will hire him to redo the roof when the time comes.
Description of Work: The roof was leaking and they refilled it.

Very well, Paul Hoolahan came to look at the roof and give me an estimate only a few days after I spoke with him. He gave me the quote and said his calender was full until August. I said I could wait and for him to place me on his list (after I got two other quotes and decided to go with Hoolahan.) August came and Paul called on a Friday to say his crew was ready to start on Monday. I was not sure if that was enough time to pick out the tile, but Paul came over when he was done with work with a lot tile samples and my wife and I were able to pick one we like within a few minutes. The crew came on Monday morning at 8 am just like Paul said the would and began striping the roof. By late Tuesday afternoon they were done with the entire roof and had the area cleaned. The whole time they were on the work sight they were prompt and courteous .
Description of Work: Had entire old roof removed, some rotten wood was replaced along with entire new roof, with 3 dimensional tiles, new flashing around chimney, a ridgeline vent installed along with smart vents at the ice guard and a vent for the shower exhaust.

I contacted Mr. Hoolahan on June 16th 2009 for an estimate on my roof because of the information I had received from a gentleman who had cleaned our gutters. He stated that we had some roofing and gutter problems that should be taken care of. Mr Hoolahan made an appointment to be at my home on the 18th as arranged thru our E-mails. He did a thorough inspection of the roof and promised to work up a proposal. True to his word, he came through with a proposal on the 22nd, again through E-Mail. Although he was the highest of all the bids I received, his was also the most comprehensive. As he came so highly recommended thru Angie's List, I hired him. He notified me that due to the unexptedly wet summer, he would not be able to do my work until the end of July and as a matter of fact called us to set up his work for the 3rd of August. He and his assistant showed up on schedule did the work and even added a cap to our chimney to keep rain and critters out. He had the garbage that was created by he work cleaned up and left at approximately 3:30 p.m. having been here either himself or his assistant from 8:00 a.m. Work done very well and totally professionaly.
Description of Work: We had the company remove the existing shingles and felt paper around the chimney (which was not re-flashed when the roof was installed a couple years ago).Remove existing flashing. Install Ice and water shield on roof around chimney. Form new base flashings out of heavy guage aluminum and install. Re-nail shingles that were removed. Install counter flashings and fold into mortor joints. Caulk all necessary seams. Re-seal right corner of gutter. Re-slope gutters as much as possible toward drain in center on back of house, without raising the end cap on front, right side of house (gutters were retaining water and still might)

The work scheduling was a little troublesome due in part to variable weather conditions. But the company representatives we dealt with were responsive, proactive and professional. Nice guys all. The work estimate was provided on time and it was very thourough. The owner worked with me on a final price. The work was finished quickly and they left no mess behind. After completion I inspected the work and found one item which they had overlooked. It only took one call to the company and a team came by the next day and took care of it.
Description of Work: Repaired soffit and facia damage from squirrels, replaced missing roof slates, resealed some areas where our roof leaked, cleaned out attic insulation damaged by squirrels and laid a new layer of insulation across the entire attic.

About as painless as possible. I actually never even met with a member of the team. Paul visited my house while I was at work. He called me with his estimate and explained what needed to be done. Seemed very forthright and honest. The team showed up did the job quickly, and I barely noticed they were even at my house. I actually chose him based on his response to a customer complaint regarding an estimate. The response revealed two things. 1) he runs the business with high standards 2) he cares about his work. As far as the price goes, it was in-line with other estimates I received. I come from the "you get what you pay for school." I would rather spend a couple hundred extra dollars (which was not the case here) for quality work than go through the hassle of of fixing a botched project or dealing with an incompetent group. Job well done and no complaints.

Just before the winter last year, 2 pieces of fascia had fallen off my roof. I found Hoolahan on Angie's list and called to get an estimate on repairing the damage. I also wanted to know if the existing pieces could be re-used, how best to re-attach them, how to be sure they wouldn't fall again, etc. Paul was very nice and professional. I was delayed at work and he was able to investigate the problem before I got home and waited for me. The work was done promptly and cost exactly as much as estimated. He also explained in detail answers to all my questions.
Description of Work: Re-attached 2 sections of aluminum fascia that had fallen off of my roof last winter and installed additional nails on the other side of the roof.

I called Hoolahan Roofing & Remodeling based on the Angie's List recommendations. They were courteous, prompt, professional, and on target. Their worker was friendly & helpful. They cleaned up after the job and the roof looks as if they were never here! We've had much rain since the work was done and not a drop is coming in. The real test will come over the winter when we're back in the freeze-thaw cycle, but it appears the problems have been fixed.

I found the name on Angie's list, contacted him by email and he got back to me right away. Hoolihan came over and looked at our roof, gave me a verbal estimate. A couple of weeks later he called me the night before a roofer showed up. The roofer was nice, courteous and cleaned up after himself. He sent me an invoice by email and the price was right on with his estimate.

Very well, just way too much money.
Description of Work: Paul was completely professional, on-time, returned all calls promptly. He explained the job thoroughly, and even suggested that I didn't need to replace certain items. I only wish I could afford him..... he was 30% higher than the highest bid that I received, not to mention a lesser shingle (I have gotten 9 bids, all from Angie's list). I suspect if I did hire him the job would go well, but it's just too much money. And as he said, he gets that rate often in his area, and has tons of work, so more power to him! Good luck!

Response from Hoolahan Roofing & Remodeling Company Inc
THANKS FOR THE COMPLIMENTS AND THE A GRADES THAT YOU GAVE MY COMPANY. AS FAR AS THE PRICE IS CONCERNED, I'VE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR ALMOST 30 YEARS, AND I KNOW MY PRICES ARE RIGHT IN LINE WITH OTHER FULLY INSURED, ESTABLISHED PROFESSIONAL CONTRACTORS. AND MY PRICES ARE RIGHT OUT OF THE BOOK. I USE A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED COST ESTIMATOR THAT'S BEEN AROUND FOR OVER 20 YEARS. I DON'T KNOW WHO YOUR OTHER BIDS WERE FROM, BUT $350 PER SQUARE (LABOR & MATERIAL) TO REMOVE TWO LAYERS OF SHINGLES, INSTALL ICE & WATER SHIELD, NEW VALLEYS, DRIP EDGES, FLASHINGS, VENTS & NEW SHINGLES IS JUST TOO CHEAP. MAYBE THE OTHER BIDS ARE FROM CONTRACTORS THAT ARE NOT FULLY INSURED. A LOT OF SMALL CONTRACTORS PAY THEIR WORKERS IN CASH, OR THEY PAY THEM AS INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS, WHICH SAVES THEM THE EXTREMELY HIGH COST OF WORKERS' COMPENSATION INSURANCE, AS WELL AS PAYING INTO SOCIAL SECURITY AND UNEMPLOYMENT. SO, TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE NOT COMPARING APPLES TO ORANGES, I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT YOU GET A CERTIFICATE OF INSURANCE DIRECTLY FROM THE INSURANCE PROVIDER FOR THE COMPANY THAT YOU DECIDE TO USE. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING MY COMPANY FOR THE WORK ON YOUR HOUSE, AND I HOPE YOU GET A GOOD JOB FROM THE COMPANY THAT YOU CHOOSE TO DO THE JOB. PAUL K. HOOLAHAN

I heard about him on Angie's List. He was great, terrific. I didn't want to spend a lot of money, and it had to be done really quickly. He fulfilled these requirements. I remember the price being very reasonable. The project went really well. He was amazingly professional. It was in the middle of winter when I called him, and we kept having snowstorms. He kept checking in with me and calling about not being able to do work that day because of weather, but he would always reschedule. He was very professional with that situation.
