Atlas Roofing Co

Over a year has passed since I completed the agreed-upon work while working for the Atlas Roofing contractor, I have yet to receive the payment owed to me. Despite my efforts to resolve the matter, the contractor not only refused to pay me but also threatened me with weapons to physically hurt me. This has not only caused me financial hardship but has also left me feeling unsafe and threatened. He claimed since I have no Contractor License or insurance he would simple screw me over like he’s done for many years with his Hispanic workers he hires under the table. I believe this is such an unfortunate situation and unfair to all the other of us his workers he’s done this. My mistake was that I relied on Atlas Roofing for their professionalism and integrity, only to be met with unfulfilled promises and financial strain.

Great experience with Ed and his crews. I chose them after getting five other estimates - four of them for pretty much identical materials. The job consisted of a full removal down to sheathing, replacing some sheeting, and building up the new asphalt shingle roof, including removing an attic fan and installing ridge vents. The house is a split level with a back porch and carport, so there are three separate roof sections. Getting the estimate took longer than other companies. They only did them on Saturdays. Their lead roofer works on installations Mon-Fri, and the weather pushed it another weekend. Overall it was worth the wait because Ed and two crews came out and had the entire roof completed from start to finish in six hours. Communication with Ed via email was easy and responsive. We've been living with the new roof for four months without issues. I have only found one roofing nail in the yard, too, so they did a great job on cleanup—no reservations in recommending this company.

Atlas Roofing is completely first class and I cannot recommend them any more highly. They just replaced my roof and gutters and the entire experience was outstanding from beginning to end. Ed, the owner, is extremely attentive to detail and made sure all of my concerns were addressed. Atlas Roofing is absolutely tops!

Great service from honest and knowledgable professional. Choose your shingles, sit back and relax. Your job will be done right. This is our second roof by Ed at Atlas.

They inspected the roof and said it was good for another 3 years. I will definitely hire them when I do need to replace. If only, everyone were that honest.

Work was done as described, very professional and neat. Excellent communication with Owner and staff. Detailed description of work to be performed and options concerning different types of shingles in the estimate provided by Atlas not found in other roofers I considered.

Loved Atlas Roofing and will recommend the company to anyone who needs a new roof. Job was started at 7 in the morning and completed by 2Pm the same day. After completion, there was not a nail or shingle on the ground - a perfect clean-up job.

Ed and his team were incredible. Very fast and thorough quote. Brought shingles over for me to look through and choose. Project was done in one day. Crew clean up was thorough. Highly recommend.

Great experience - very responsive and easy to work with. They worked fast and cleaned up very well afterwards. Felt in good hands which hardly happens anymore.

All went well and unexpectedly fast after signing the contract. Ed Vanderhoeven called us one evening a few days after mailing the contract to ask if it would be OK to come the following day. We'd had several days of rain and many leaks but hadn't expected them for another few weeks, so we were delighted to take advantage of the unexpected availability. The five or six person team arrived on time the next morning and the work took about 4 hours. We were a little concerned about the low temperature at the start, around 33 degrees, but it warmed up a little as the morning went on, and we were reassured by Ed that there would be no problems. They left the yard clean of debris and used a magnet to pick up any fallen nails. When we commented on the great clean up and how a carpenter had left a number of screws and nails in our pea gravel driveway in front of the house, without saying anything Ed got out the magnet and did a sweep of the driveway. He found dozens of nails screws, bobby pins and pieces of old shutter hardware. Since we've had a couple of punctured tires, we were delighted at this little extra service.

Great job on the roof and their team was quick, clean and cleaned the yard of all debris. They swept for nails multiple times and the roof looks great.

Atlas inspected our roof and said they did not see any damage/problems (except moss) and that we had up to 5 more years of life left on the shingles.

Everything went smoothly. The work was done efficiently and quickly. The clean-up was complete. The crew was very professional and courteous. The owner was very cooperative about scheduling and very responsive when I had questions. There's no hard sell.

Excellent. On-time and great to deal with.

It went according to plan and was done for a reasonable price as quoted.

Installation took one day. Some roof tiles came loose during high winds, repair was made within 1-2 days. I had gotten about 4 estimates, which were all about the same. Atlas was a few hundred dollars over the highest estimate (although its price also included the shed and overhang roofing).

Fabulous. Ed knows his business, is responsive, and his crews are not day crews. Ed only has a couple of crews and he personally oversees the work at every site. One of the few really good construction experiences I've had.

Could not have gone better! Owner Ed gave a detailed estimate covering all the bases and gave me options/prices for various materials so I could choose the one that worked best for me. He offered good advice, and I felt very confident in him and his team. They arrived en masse in the morning, and by the afternoon I had a new roof in place! The workmanship, including cleanup, was outstanding - his crew worked like a well-oiled machine, and they all seemed very confident and competent in what they were doing. Ed has his own contracted crews and does not use day laborers, and they were all friendly and accommodating. Ed was considerate about my timeline and made sure my roof was completed within the time frame I requested. After the job was finished, Ed personally came by to inspect it to make sure it met with his expectations, which I believe he does with all of his jobs. So far I've had no problems with the roof and am not expecting any, but I know that sometimes problems do arise, and I know from others' experiences that Ed provides excellent follow-up service if needed. His labor warranty is also 10 years, as opposed to 5 years or less for most other companies. In short, I highly recommend Atlas Roofing and Ed and thank him for a job well done!

When Mr. Ben Sharrow arrived for the appointment, he immediately said that my roof was too steep for him since he had injured his knee. I was surprised since it's a common center-hall colonial type house - very common in this area. He kindly offered to put his ladder up and take a look at the roof in general. Another company wanted to replace the whole back to the tune of almost $7,000 and he told me that wasn't at all necessary - that I had many good years left on that roof which was a relief to know, and didn't charge me anything for the visit. He recommended Marshall Roofing which I checked out on Angie's List and then hired to do the work. They fixed the leak and replaced two skylights for $1,200.

We have the best roof we've had in our 40+ years in this house, thanks to Ed Vander Hoeven, owner of Atlas Roofing. Our house is warmer in the winter, and we anticipate it will be cooler in summer, based on an early taste of warm weather earlier this spring. He is one of the two best contractors we've ever used. He communicates clearly, both in person and via email, and responds promptly to any calls. He's knowledgeable, experienced, and came highly recommended by friends. Ed's price was competitive. We had four other estimates, with a range of up to $4k difference, and each estimator offered a different proposal for how to re-roof our house. Ed's suggestion made the most sense and was at the lower end for cost. One of the most expensive estimates was to re-roof our house exactly the way it had been done in the past, not a good option. Our house has tongue-in-groove cathedral ceilings throughout the upstairs. In 1975, the builder put a roof over that ceiling that consisted of a felt / protective cover, 1" insulation boards, and shingles. After we bought the house, he advised us to never walk on the roof. (What?) Thanks to Ed and his excellent Atlas crew, we now have OSB over the entire roof, plus additional insulation. Ed had two crews work on our house and they completed the job in one day. He worked alongside his crews for a good part of the day. We highly recommend Atlas Roofing.

Ben did an complete repair including replacing the damaged plank sheathing underneath and also fixed a couple of sagging shingles. After he finished and the job turned out to be less complicated than originally estimated, he reduced the price! You don't see that kind of integrity much these days. Highly recommended.

We had 3 other bids on the roof install. Looking line by line, Atlas was NOT the least expensive but they were using quality CertainTeed shingles. They also had a high consumer rating from another local independent review site. That means to us that they were going to do an above average install. What we have learned over the years in maintaining our home it is not just about buying quality products, but having them installed properly. We also upgraded from a 3 tab shingle to a 5 tab, had a ventilation system installed. The roof looks awesome and "tight". Installation of CertainTeed Pro shingles with 6 nail application for high wind warranty ? 130mph Est. 2,000 square feet of shingles which included the waste Complete tear-off of existing shingles (one layer) down to wood decking Inspection of wood decking/ and repair of rooted wood (priced per foot) Installation of new 15 lb. felt underlayment Installation of ?Weathergaurd? ice/water barrier at all eaves, around edges, chimneys, pipes Installation of all NEW chimney flashing and wall edges Installation of starter strip shingles on all eaves Installation of new vent pipe flashing on external roof pipes Installation of drip edge at all eaves Installation of new ridge ventilation system Installation of ?Smart vent? system Installation of new ridge cap shingles Manufacture 40 yr. warranty on shingles; 10-year warranty on labor Complete clean-up and haul-away of all debris, including use of a magnetic sweeper to collect nails They did an above average job with very good comunication!

I requested that Atlas Roofing submit an estimate for me since the two layers of shingles on my 65 year old house were leaking and looking a bit long in the tooth. Atlas was highly-rated in Washington Consumers Checkbook, as well as Angie?s List, so I invited them to bed. They sent out their repairman, Ben, who was certainly not a salesman but knew his way around a roof. He took down the details of the roof and told me that the owner would then send me an estimate, which he sent via email the next morning. I chose Atlas Roofing to install my new roof because their price was the midpoint of the three estimates I had received and they appeared to be responsible based on online reviews, BBB ratings, etc. Ben also explained that the work is not subcontracted out (i.e., to day laborers) and that the owner, Ed VanderHoeven pays for good health insurance for the workers. That?s the kind of small business that makes America great. Atlas?s warranty was also the most clear as it expressly stated that the roof would be leak free (at their expense) for 10 years. No haggling over what a ?defect in workmanship? meant. After sending the estimate to me, I called Ed with some questions and he proved himself personable and knowledgeable. Based on my work schedule, I wanted the roof done sooner rather than later, and Ed scheduled the re-roofing for the following Monday morning, which worked great! Ed called me the night before to confirm, and the crew arrived at 7:30 on Monday morning and started working around 8. Due to it being the first cold day in a while, Ed scheduled both of his crews to work on my roof, so they completed the job in 3.5 hours! There were 9 (I think) people working on my roof at one time. The roof looks great, and the crew did an excellent job of cleaning up my property. Highly recommend them.

One of the best contractors I have ever used. Edward Vanderhoeven runs a great company. He oversees the work. He ensures everything is done to code and customer satisfaction. -Provides quality support to ensure the correct type, style, and roof system is installed to manufacturers specifications -Works extremely well with customer to ensure color, choices are what customer wants -Best price out of 4 bids; no shortcuts taken. -You immediately get a sense of trust. -Crew works hard. Gets the work done. They clean up well. Absolutely no issues. Ed makes sure you are completely satisfied. It is very hard to find someone you can completely trust...but ED and his crew does that. Include him on your bids. You will NOT regret that decision. You may come and see roof. We used GAF Ultra HD shingles (53% thicker that normal architechtual shingles. Great color pattern without being over-powered.

The crew arrived right on time, and in full force. They explained to me exactly what they'd be doing and then proceeded with the work. It took a tad more than seven hours to finish up the job -- and they left my property totally free of debris. You'd never know they had been there -- except for the fact that we have a lovely new roof, a nice update for our 50-year-old home. I was so happy with the roof that I posted a photo on Facebook. Yeah, I know, it's just a roof. But it's a lovely one!
