This is a warning for anyone that deals with Hickman Metal Roofing; you will be cheated, lied to, & sold cheap, damaging shingles. Hickman Metal Roofing sold & installed metal Guardian Shingle Roofing with natural stone coating on the house. In addition, installed a Box vent. I experienced the following:
First, Hickman Metal Roofing had to send out a repairman to repair the upper right hand corner of the Box Vent because it was leaking into the house. The repairman did not fix the problem. The Box Vent opening was so large when raining during a strong wind; the wind blew rain right into the hole of the Box Vent. I purchased a piece of Angle Iron and attached it to the top of the Box Vent making the opening smaller. Yes, it stopped raining inside the house.
Second, Hickman Metal Roofing had to send out a repairman to repair Shingles & Roof Drip Edge. A strong wind turned up the edge of the metal shingle & buckled shingles for 8 to 10 feet. The repairman bent the shingles back down & attached the Roof Drip Edge to the Fascia Board which was not attached during installation of the singles. If the Roof Drip Edge would have been attached to the Fascia Board during installation this could have been prevented loose shingles.
Third, and most important, these shingles were found to be defective and pulled off the shelf by businesses that sold them. DID HICKMAN inform his customers the shingles were defective, NO! Hickman would rather destroy customer's property then have to pay out of his pocket to deal with the defective shingles he sold to them.
I had a transferable warranty for the lifetime of the original purchaser effective from the date of installation, to be free from installation defects, will not leak and that all installation procedures are within the guidelines of the manufacturer's recommendations. Not one word of this warranty was upheld by Hickman Metal Roofing. This warranty was signed by Rubecca L. Hickman, FOLIO # HS 018. read more
