The gutters they laid unfortunately held the water instead of draining it, causing premature decay and lots of ice damming, which then created roof leaks and damage to masonry below. When I called them for support after the problems became obvious, they showed me the hand, and were not interested in making sure their work was quality. I would definitely recommend anybody working with them to be explicit in the contract about what success/quality looks like, and to get a strong warranty on their work.

Gutters did not drain water, they held water, and when informed, Windward did not feel accountable for the work they had done. Roofing was great.

Good to Very Good.
Description of Work: Windward was one of the contractors which bid on townhome complex complete re-roof and gutter replacements for 125 joined units plus clubhouse. Their bid was competitive and they came into homeowners' meeting to review in detail their bid proposal. They were accepted and approved by the board. Service was delivered very promptly and they even finished the job on schedule before the snow started to fall in November. Personally, as an invididual homeowner I felt they tried to be very responsive, provided resonably quality product and were individual roofers for the most part were professional. Some areas did need to be redone for various reasons, but the management and roofing staff responded promptly to issues. The gutter installers seemed to do a very good job and responded well to homeowners individual concerns. Overall - satisfied with performance

It was very difficult to communicate with them. With the work they did you had to keep the on task to keep it true to the quote. It took them a couple of visits to complete the work. We had to inspect the work to make sure it was completed. There was a definite language barrier with the tuck-pointers making it difficult to communicate. It was challenging because the supervisor was really easy to work with but the guys on site were not in sync with him.
Description of Work: The did tuckpointing. We also used them for roofing but these were different workers.

I called Winward to schedule an appointment for an estimate for flashing repairs. You are greeted by a voicemail with a list of about 10 different people's extensions. After I got to an operator, I was informed they do not give estimates on repairs. They will come and make the repairs and then bill you for time and work done. I didn't even bother to inform them of the porch roof. I've contacted 2 other Angies List roofers so far and have had no problem scheduling for an estimate for this type of work. I just purchased the property, so I really needed an overall evaluation by an expert, other than what was revealed in my inspection report.
Description of Work: Flashing repair on a flat roof of a two flat. I also needed a new roof for a shingled front porch.

My first dealing was with the salesman, Jason Burns. Living in a condo, it took several months to decide and vote on the type of shingle and color. Jason was always friendly and happy to help by dropping off samples and discussing with me all my questions. He never seemed frustrated with the process. I actually had fun dealing with him. His quote came in very reasonable, and with higher quality materials as far as the felt and metal being used. There was never any question as to what roofer I would go with. The job just finished and I am very happy. There were some minor things that needed changing, but they addressed everything in a very friendly, professional and fast manner. I want to say that Randi and Ceasar were also great to work with. I met with Randi for a few "walk-throughs," and Ceasar stayed late to fix some things for me. Raises to everyone !!!
Description of Work: I live in a Townhouse/Condo Building with 7 units and Mansard Roof. They tore off the old Cedar Shakes, and replaced with Architectural 40 year shingles.

We decided to replace the entire roof. Jason was extremely polite and knowledgeable, and was even able to fax/e-mail pictures and diagrams to help explain the issues. We had had two other contractors come out before them, who could not identify the leak. Jason was very responsive to any calls or questions we had, and they were prompt and clean in doing the actual work. We felt there were very honest with us, as they could have just told us that we needed an entire new roof without giving us any options. Very professional.
Description of Work: We had water leaking into the kitchen but could not find the source. They came over and identified a problem area in the roof that the prior owner had apparently tried to patch themselves. They gave us the option of just fixing the problem area, or replacing the entire roof (since the shingles would look different).

This was a great experience. Jason Burns was the account manager; he was very prompt and accommodating. He conducted a detailed roof inspection and then also returned to the building with John, the masonry foreman. They utilized an innovative solution involving roof ventilation to solve our problem. The crew was prompt, courteous and professional. They completed all of the work that was in the contract, and were very accommodating on a last-minute addition to the contract work. Jason was very helpful in working around my schedule for meetings and the initial evaluation.
Description of Work: They installed roof venting and applied sealant to the masonry walls.

We interviewed 10-12 roofing companies. According to our consultant engineer, Windward was one of the few who gave us an accurate picture of our roofing situation. They gave us a fair price, worked with us on hiring another company to add insulation and worked with us again when the tear-off showed some unexpected, but necessary tuck-pointing. They told us the work would take a week, and even with the unexpected additions and the July 4th holiday, the work took only one extra business day. Their clean-up was the best I've ever seen--they even watered our flowers to wash off the asphalt dust! We highly recommend Windward.
Description of Work: Windward removed and replaced the entire roof on our condo's 1920s six-flat. They had to remove at least 8 layers of previous roofing, including the original 1920s tar roof! Since we don't face an alley, they had to drop all the tear-off down a chute and wheelbarrow it out to the dumpster on the street. The work was exceedingly difficult and unbelievably messy, yet they stayed long hours every day. They replaced the old roof with a new reflective, more lightweight one. Their crew was genial and always ready to answer any questions.

Description of Work: WE HAD A FLAT ROOF COMPLETELY TORE OFF. WHEN THEY REPLACED THE ROOF, THEY DID NOT FLASH CORRECTLY AROUND THE CHIMNEY FOR OUR WOOD-BURNING FIREPLACE AND IT LEAKED. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY DID NOT IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM CORRECTLY. I CALLED THEM OUT 5 DIFFERENT TIMES. THEY BLAMED IT ON EVERYTHING BUT THEIR WORKMANSHIP - EVEN REPLACED THE CAP AND CHARGING US $300 FOR IT. DUE TO THE LEAKING, WE HAD A LITTLE CEILING DAMAGE. THEY CLAIMED THAT THEY ARE ONLY RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGE DONE WHEN INSTALLING THE ROOF. AVOID!

I WONDER WHY A COMPANY THAT HAS PERFORMED GOOD SERVICE FOR US IN THE PAST, AND WHOSE BILLS WE HAVE PAID PROMPTLY, WOULD SUDDENLY DECIDE NOT TO ACCEPT OUR BUSINESS. I PRESUME THAT IF THEY CONSIDERED THIS JOB TOO SMALL, THAT THEY WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT A PROMPT PHONE CALL TO THAT EFFECT WOULD PREVENT A PERMANENT LOSS OF BUSINESS.
Description of Work: IN THE PAST WE HAVE HAD SATISFACTORY ROOFING AND TUCKPOINTING WORK DONE BY WINDWARD. THE LAST TUCKPOINTING JOB WAS IN 2000. IN JUNE OR JULY OF 2001 WE ALSO HAD GOOD SERVICE IN OBTAINING AN ESTIMATE ON CORRECTING A GUTTER PROBLEM WE HAD. AFTER THE JULY FLOODS IN CHICAGO, I CONTACTED THEM AGAIN TO RE-ESTIMATE THE GUTTER CORRECTION WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT CHICAGO HAD CHANGED ITS POLICY ON DOWNSPOUT DRAINAGE. I ALSO ASKED FOR AN ESTIMATE ON A SMALL TUCKPOINTING JOB TO REPLACE MORTAR THE FLOOD HAD WASHED OUT FROM ONE WALL. OVER ABOUT ONE MONTH''S TIME, I PLACED 3 CALLS TO ONE REPRESENTATIVE WHO RETURNED NONE OF THEM. I REACHED HIM ON THE 4TH CALL WHEN HE SCHEDULED THE WORK FOR THE NEXT MORNING AT 7:00 A.M. SO THAT I COULD MAKE IT TO WORK ON TIME. HE NEVER SHOWED UP, SO I WAS LATE TO WORK AND HAS NEVER CONTACTED US SINCE.
