I'm giving them 5 stars with a couple gotcha's. These guys were referred by our insurance estimator to replace our roof. I've never used a suggested contractor because I always assume there is a benefit I'll never see, but in this case I went with Hanco.
Initially I had extensive damage from the Utah Hurricane earlier this year, so when they came out the first thing they did was put up a quick patch to get me to the point of making a decision. I looked at Roof It, and Patriot Roofing who pretty much told me they would uncharge the insurance company for all of the things they missed, while not having seen the insurance quote, and if I did not like it I could do what I wanted. Roof It was a husband and wife team who I assume contracted out the roofing? Their price was high, and while they were nice they did not instill confidence in me.
Hanco on the other hand earned our business. They came in under the insurance estimate and were able to put us in front of a few other jobs as soon as an opening came up. I told them the shingle I wanted (Owens Corning Duration Shasta White), and they agreed to it. They did an excellent job, pretty good clean up, although I walked the perimeter with a rolling magnet and got what they did not see. They added vents where I needed them, the finish work was very good, and they were done in a full 7 day week (not bad considering the install was pretty much done with by one guy).
The bad. After they were done there was a pallet of probably 20 shingle packs left on a pallet on my side yard. Since we live on a country road and the thieves from SLC, Magna, and West Valley have decided to start driving by and stealing anything not nailed down, or from open garages, I decided to put a tarp over them to make them less appealing. That worked for about three days then the packs started disappearing a couple at a time. After a couple days I told Hanco they better come get them before they are all gone, and they did.
Unfortunately while covering up the shingles I noticed that they were the lower quality Oakridge style that does not have the 130 mph wind rating, or the fiber strip for the nails. At this point my roof was done, so I called them to express my slight disappointment (my roof looked awesome). As a compensation they offered me a lifetime service warranty and paid for some of my gutter replacement. I understand where the mix up took place and it was with the vendor, not Hanco. But they had our house on the schedule, and since I was not there to approve the shingles they proceeded with what they had. The shingles I got were about $4 less per bundle, and at just over 10 square our house probably took 40 packs ($160 to the contractor, plus the rebate that OC was offering at the time - I believe only contractors qualify for the rebate?).
All in all a very good experience, and I would highly recommend them to anyone in the market. A word of advise, if you decide on a shingle brand and style, be there to insure that is what you are getting. read more
