Avondale Roofing Inc

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY...not solvent and sounds like they perform zero due diligence on subcontractors they use. I've fully paid for roof, soffit, and fascia on time 50% up front and 50% when the final invoice came through. Job was completed in October 2017 and payment from me sent...in November 2017 I received a notice of potential lien from a subcontractor they used. No information about this subcontractor nor their right to place a lien on my property was presented at any point in working with Avondale. After talking to Avondale they admitted they didn't pay the subcontractor and that they didn't have any money. Their plan was to wait until warmer weather so that newer jobs could pay off the bill from the sub they used on my property -- AWFUL ponzi scheme like business model. Understandably the subcontractor did end up filing a lien on my property. I've needed to contact legal help to help remove the lien that was placed.

Existing balcony had incorrect roof flashing setup causing damage to wood underlayment. Leo came out and provided what was need3d and installers quickly took care of the job. End result looks great.

Unfortunately it went poorly. Liked Chris and had him out twice for estimate for a Spring 2018 roof replacement. Was pleased with his thoroughly viewing roof, both inside my attic and outside. Following second visit on 12/19/17, he informed me he’d call next day to schedule meeting to personally review estimate. Never heard back from him. It’s now first week of April, and am now back to “Square 1” with obtaining estimates from other companies. Ashame as I strongly considered using Avondale based on my initial impression of Chris, as well as recommendation from a friend.

They were very detail-oriented and professional. They took the time to really examine the roof and fix anything that could cause problems later.

Avondale was contacted and they admitted they did not pay the subcontractor. They said they didn't have any money. My question was "I paid you - why didn't you pay them". Avondale is not a responsible roofer. They said they might be able to pay within 60 to 90 days. This work was done October 18, 2017 and it is now January 2018. I don't know how Angies list can have such a company on their list.

Great job!

What a funny scenario . . . I called Avondale for a re-roof estimate. Owner's son Chris, shows up a couple hours late a few days after the call. Spends over 90 minutes on the roof, going over warranty's, work they would do, history of Avondale, etc. Avondale had re-roofed the house 15 years earlier for the previous owner. Not a big roof, only 300 sq ft. At the end, he says he has to make another visit, because it takes him a couple hours to do a comprehensive estimate (seriously?). What's he been doing up there for the last 90 minutes? Three days later, he's back on the my roof for another 90+ minutes, and as he's packing up, says, "oops, I forgot to measure for gutters"." Keep in mind they did gutters 15 years earlier. I said, "don't bother, just get me the roof estimate in a couple days." In the meantime, his mother (the president of Avondale) calls to ask why I'm questioning her son's need for 3 hours on my roof to produce an estimate. I replied that a estimate for a 20 year veteran shouldn't take this long. She said her son is "very detail oriented" and that he still handwrites the estimates longhand and it takes more time. Bottom line, it's been two weeks, several more calls and emails, and not a word from Avondale. For all I know, Chris is stuck on a roof somewhere and doesn't have time to do a handwritten estimate. I'm sure Avondale does 'wonderful' work, just plan on being be patient.

It was fine, but had to be replaced a few years later following a hailstorm.

The crew arrived promptly and worked quickly. They used shingles we had left from when Avondale did a tear-off roof replacement for us about 14 years ago. Since they were up on the roof of our two story house, we asked if they would take a look at the gutters and let us know if we needed to have our gutters cleaned out, which they graciously did. Since they finished the work our problems have been resolved and we have had no leaks, even after a few severe storms.

No problems at all. Went very smoothly.

I would highly recommend them.  There were several workers and it took them 2 days to complete the work.  He was recommended to us by someone else.

Great! I had 2 quotes and Chris came in at half the price of the other roofer. The other roofer quoted me $28,000 for the exact same brand of shingle. I felt he was honest and fair. He even helped me with my insurance company and made sure the adjuster submitted a claim with all the correct information. Note: Chris does not work in the winter months December to April because they aren't doing roofs in the middle of winter. So, that is why I didn't give him an A for responsiveness. I didn't realize this and it took him a long time to get back to me.

Everything went fine. No problems at all since the work was done.

The team did a good job in explaining the issue and replacing the missing parts.

They did a great job, we also used the about 10 years ago to do the entire roof.

All went well. We were very satisfied.

Professional, skilled, efficient, friendly.

I contacted Avondale for estimates for roofing work on my house. Chris came out and told me about damages I had not seen on the roof and siding. He walked my wife and I through the process working with our insurance company to get our claim approved. He was there when the insurance company came out to inspect the damage and worked with them so we could get the best possible solution to our roof and siding damage. Once the claim work was completed, Chris walked us through all of the required work and the estimates on all of it. He thoroughly explained what would be covered and what wouldn't be. He even went back to our insurance company with some concerns about things not included in the claim and worked with them to get included. He explained all of the materials that would be used and left us with a wheel of siding color options and roofing selections. We narrowed it down to three roof colors while he was there and he brought us bigger samples so we could better pick out the new siding color and type. Chris even went as far as driving around our neighborhood and giving us addresses of houses that had the siding style we were deciding between so we could see it on a house! We also spoke about thicker insulation on the house, and what a difference it has made this winter. Can't believe how warm the house is! Once we finalized our choices, work on our new roof and siding began. Chris came out to our house multiple times throughout the process watching and inspecting his team's work. The roofing and siding teams was very polite, professional, and they did an excellent job! They also made sure everything was cleaned up after they finished. My house looks like a brand new house! We couldn't be happier with the new roof and siding!

It went very well.

Chris came out twice, did a very thorough inspection of our roof, and showed us things that other roofers had missed. He understood the problems we were having and had good suggestions for how to resolve them. He was friendly and knowledgeable and really detail oriented. The only thing that would have made it better would have been if he had actually written us a proposal for how much it would cost to replace the roof so we could hire him to do the job. 4 weeks and five phone calls later and no proposal and no response, so we went with someone else. I'm not inclined to try to chase someone down so I can give them money, and I can only imagine what it would be like if I was calling to get a problem fixed. Knowledge and attitude - A. Follow-up - F.

Very disappointed. Spent $400 for what was listed as a very thorough roof inspection, complete write-up and $100 credit towards repairs. The guy was nice enough and clearly knew what he was doing but only spent probably 10 minutes on the roof. I had to ask him to come inside and look at some leaks in the ceiling and to go in the attic to check for leaks. This was supposed to be an inside and outside inspection so that was disappointing. And that was all I received for my money. No complete written report with estimates that was included in the price. A few weeks later, emails and phone calls where I was told I would be receiving the write up by a certain date. Dates have come and gone. With winter coming I had to have another company come out and they got my business and will be replacing the roof this month. I knew I was paying a lot to Avondale but I wanted a competent and thorough inspection and write up and was willing to pay for that. I feel completely ripped off, what they provided was not at all worth what I paid. Lesson learned.

Work is Ok, until it came to matching the wood shutters; a smaller size with a plastic substitute was provided and installed

It was a three hour job and I thought the price was way out of line for such a small job. They seemed like nice people, might have done great work, but their price was too high. They should do less expensive quotes. They seemed good, and I probably would have gone with them if it wasn't so much money. They lost the quote because of the pricing. They were responsive.

After receiving two estimates for my new roof, which had been damaged by hail, I chose Avondale  because of the trust I felt after meeting with Chris Schwartz, the son of the company's owner.  Chris is honest, personable, and has a strong work ethic.  He helped me navigate through the insurance claim process, met with the adjuster at my house, and fielded numerous phone calls from both me and the insurance company. He was always prompt, responsive, and willing to spend as much time as needed answering questions and explaining things.

The work proceeded on schedule, with excellent results, and the only problem that arose was some accidental damage to a window, which Chris acknowledged as the company's responsibility.  (I received a repair estimate from a handyman, and the amount was deducted from my final bill.)
