Degenhardt Home Improvement

Terrible did do a quick fix but roof still leaks. Turns out he was really there for estimate on bigger job. Did't want to fix wanted to replace all of flashing. The deal is the $49 goes to Angie's List for referring the customer. I paid $49 for a free estimate. Will not use any Angie's List specials again.

Glad I got inspection. He found some areas that needed repair. One because the original roofer did not do a complete job.

It failed within 2 1/2 months it was 2,500 worth of repairs I think nothing of their roofing, I would never use them again. They were supposed to pitch the roof and they did not. I asked them for an itemized estimate and they did not do that. They were cited for 3 violations some of which involve water can not pond on a roof, it has to have a run off system and run off the roof within 48 hours. Another violation was loose boards. They have a 10 year warranty on that roof, but they haven't honored it. With what's happened I wouldn't want them on our roof anyway. The fans they proposed to my bathrooms were not to code, I ended up getting the fans myself and installed myself.

We were not home when the work was done, but have not any leaking since the repair.

Very professional and works was finished faster than expected. Very cooperative with last minute changes. Exterior looks great.

My initial impression was favorable. I thought they had done good work in a professional manner. But right from the beginning I had issues with shingles slipping and falling. Initially, Paul was responsive - sending someone out to tack them back up. I can't remember how long it was (several years) before Paul suggested that the shingles were defective. Samples were sent to the maker but they disagreed and indicated that the problem was with the installation. They suggested that I have another roofer inspect it but Paul discouraged that and I regret that I didn't have someone else look at it at that time. Several employees from Degenhardt then spent a couple days going over the whole roof. It wasn't really communicated to me exactly what they did but at first it seemed to solve the problem. But, over time, shingles again started slipping. I procrastinated on doing anything about it but this summer I had a few roofing contractors come out. The first two contractors said it looked like the roof was not properly installed and gave me quotes for a complete reroof. Based on this, I e-mailed Paul to see if he would come take a look. I was pleased to get a response back right away saying he would come take a look the following week. That, however, was the last I have heard from him. I e-mailed him a couple weeks later. No response and now many months have passed. I eventually hired another contractor who gave me a proposal to "re-secure & re-seal multiple loose/slumping shingle tabs on & around perimeter steep mansard style shingle roof areas". I imagine I'll need to do that periodically.

We received 5 quotes on the work we wanted done. Degenhardt was recommended to us by an acquaintance and they had the best quote on our project. The work was done very quickly in spite of bad spring weather. All the people from Degenhardt were appreciative for our business and treated us just that way. They used numerous crews that had everything finished ahead of schedule. We are extremely happy with the results. The workers were very professional and very cordial with any questions and request we had. The crew leader, Darin was very personable and easy to deal with. Not only did they have a great price but also did some needed upgrades without additional charge. We would highly recommend this company to anyone, based on our experience overall; from the initial quote to job completion and follow up.

Paul responded quickly by coming out to investigate the problem and sent his crew to install additional flashing and change the downspout off the high roof to flow directly into the eaves below that would carry the water.

We spent about $ 11,000 on that service. The job did not go that well. They were just hard to pin down about scheduling to come out and actually do the roof. They left a mess after they did the roof. The work was sloppy and we had to have the president come out and fix some stuff. He was responsive when we complained, but we were pretty upset with what they considered to be a complete job the first time around. Even when he came out again he did not clean-up.

Degenhardt had done our roof previously and we were very happy with the results. When our roof and siding had a large amount of hail damage we called them back to give us and estimate. Paul was again very professional and agreed to work with us and the insurance company settlement. We did decide after talking to replace our wood corner trim with a composite product as the wood had decay and needed repair. Paul was upfront and honest that we did not need to replace the wood trim on our windows until we decide to replace the windows. All materials and trash bin were delivered on time. The crew was always on time and started promptly every morning. We did run into some weather related delays that kept the project from finishing on time. This was not the fault of the Degenhardt crew. Their work was very professional and thorough on the roof and siding. Paul kept us up to date on all developments. Great care was taken by the roofers to make sure that all flashing and roofing was water tight. They did a great job of keeping the yard and area clean. When they finished the roof looked great. I have no doubt that it is water tight. The siding installation was just as professional. In fact the siding installation is much better than the original. Areas around lights, electrical outlets, plumbing and utilites are all very solid and look great. They even installed our new front lights for us. We even got a compliment from a neighbor that he had never seen a roofing company keep things so clean. He was impressed that no job site debris ended up in his yard. Something that has happened with our roofers in our area. I would not hesitate to hire Degenhardt again. After watching many of the hail damage roofers work on other houses in the neighborhood I have no doubts that our roof will last much longer and not need repair.

They did a complete and nice job. I found nothing to complain about. It was neat and they cleaned up after themselves. The price was very good.

Their crew is very professional and dedicated to doing a thorough job. Paul was able to accommodate us within our budget and work with a separate spray foam insulation company to coordinate efforts of tear off etc.. I wold not hesitate in using Degenhardt in the future as I know they stand behind their work. Do yourself a favor use a good roofing contractor like Degenhardt. I went with a cheap company 5 years ago and it didn't last and cost us far more in damage. Do it right and with the right company the first time!

Came recommended and was professional, knowledgeable and realistic in the initial meeting. Price was better than the big players in Madison but more than the storm chasers. It took longer than the outside time estimate to get started even though the weather was great during that period. The crew was excellent to work with and did a great job on the roof. The job took 4 days to complete and the dumpster came and went within that time frame. I found more nails in my rock edging than I would have expected but, haven't found any yet in the grass. Overall, I am satisfied with the work done.

We engage Degenhardt Home Improvement for many of our remodeling projects and appreciate his timely responses, professionalism,quality of work, and involvement in the industry association (NARI).

We had ice dam damage that kept getting worse every year. The 3 skylights were starting to show water damage and were contributing to the ice dams. We were unable to get these under control. Degenhardt was one of 3 companies we contacted. They were easily the most prepared and professional. References, insurance certificates and all other paperwork was supplied before we could ask. The work on the roof was excellent with a minimum of trash and debris left behind. They fixed a leaking window flashing (not on the work order) without being asked. Only small complaint is that they did not let the master carpenter install the skylights. He had to make so small adjustments due to the other workers doing the install. Overall they did a great job.

I had an excellent experience working with Degenhardt. They had excellent communication with me. They appeared right away to give me an estimate. They called back immediately, made the appointment for the estimate, and came out to give me the estimate. They came out quickly. I had to wait a while for them to come back and do the work, because I called them late in the season and there was some bad weather. Once they came out it was very clean and quick. I did not get any other bids, since I called late in the season I was lucky to get the work done. I was content with the price for the work. I was happy with the work and happy to get the project done. Paul did all of the communicating work. It was convenient that I could email everyone that I was working with.
