HAWKEYE ROOFING CO

unknown

From the beginning, I was impressed.  I asked for an estimate, requesting a complete tear-off so that the roof deck could be evaluated and decking replaced if needed.   The estimate was given within a few days of my request --a  very reasonable estimate for the work I requested -- and we agreed upon an early Spring job as it was already bitterly cold outside at the time of my request. 
The first day I thought that Spring might be on the horizon, Michael (the President of Hawkeye Roofing) gave me a call and asked about a date the following week to start the job.  He estimated 2 days to completion, and requested an outdoor outlet be available and advised the cars be out of the driveway for the tear-off.
The roofing crew arrived when scheduled, finished about 2/3 of the roof on day 1 and the rest on day 2.  Clean up was very efficient, so much so that if you hadn't known they were there, it would have been difficult to tell -- except for the newly finished roof!  My neighbor across the street, a semi-retired tradesman, watched their work and told me "They did a nice job!" 
Final price was within $100 of the estimate, well within my expectations.  Overall, great communication, great work crew, great finished product, and a great experience.

Installation was completed in a timely basis.  However, several of the corners  of the gutters were not sealed.  I took several contacts to get someone to come out to address the problem.  However, 2 of the corners continue to leak.  Both are over the driveway.  As a result, ice patches form beneath both corners in winter posing a potentially dangerous condition.
Will end up repairing myself come spring.

Quote was provided quickly. Large sample boards of the shingle options we were considering were dropped off, which made it very easy to finalize our decision instead of trying to use a paper photograph or tiny squares of shingle mounted on paper to imagine what it would look like...just lined them up on the garage roof and were able to decide in 30 seconds which was the best match for our bricks and trim.
The three man crew arrived on the afternoon of the day scheduled which was a pleasant surprise due to the rainy spring and summer we have had. They cleared the garage roof and prepared it to be shingled the next day before leaving...about a couple hours work and the logical stopping point.
The next day they were here promptly at 7:30 am. They worked until 7 pm due to some unexpected repairs needed for the wood around the chimney, some ice damage on the north side, and some correction from the previous re-roof (23 years ago) when the eyebrow window was removed by another roofer and the fill in of the space never matched the level of the old lumber if you knew what you were looking for. The work looks great, even from the inside of the attic space. We are talking an almost 90 year old house here and lumber sizing isn't what it used to be. They were working with boards, not plywood sheeting and shimmed it all nicely.
The last day, again, they were here at 7:30 am and worked to almost 6 pm to finish up before the weekend. The work site was well cleaned up...remember though, this is a really messy job to have done.
We did have some small bits and pieces in the gardens and on a couple raised window sills and only a couple nails on the driveway. Compare this to the previous roofer...who is a local, established and popular roofer...where we picked up nails for a week or so as they popped out of cement seams, had to have a glass ceiling fixture repaired due to materials being dropped h****** the roof, etc. Also, with a three man crew the noise was tolerable. Some of the roofers have a bunch of men on the roof, make enough noise to hear them a block away, and are in and out in one day. I prefer a reliable, professional job done with care the old-fashioned way.
Mike, the owner, was here to check on the crew at least twice a day and was very responsive to my questions. He also had a man here to put an extension on one of our downspouts and corrected a bent edge on the gutter, again from the last roofer, where someone had stepped on the gutter and bent it out causing drainage issues. The crew was quiet...no music blaring, just conversation and occasional calling out for materials or tools. If it weren't for the scraping and hammering, I wouldn't have known they were here. Once they were on the final trim out I had to go to the window to see if they were still here. They were trained roofers, not college kids on summer jobs, and took care with their work.
This was a great experience on a job I was dreading having to endure.

I had a great experience.

Mike arrived on time to meet with us and go over our needs and questions then measure the roof for the quote. We found Mike to be very open and easy to talk with and his answers to be direct and complete. We asked for large samples of the ones we were interested in which he brought by a few days later as well as an address for a job he did with a particular sample we liked so we could see what a whole roof of it would look like.
In spite of the rather cold and wet spring weather which can cause exterior project delays, Mike's crew started on the date promised and completed on time. All the debris was cleaned up each night before they left and we have found nothing left from the job. The roof itself was installed as well as we ever could have wanted with straight rows, edge trims and ridge lines - and I am extremely picky and detail driven.
While I will not speak for them, Mike and his crew did three of our next door neighbors along with us, and to me, their roofs look as great as ours and I've seen no debris from those jobs. Mike and his crew just rolled thru all four of us and all of our houses look great for it. I've suggested to others in our development looking for a new roof to call Hawkeye and have Mike come out.
Very, very highly recommended.

Exceptional work, pricing, professionalism. There were 4 homes- the neighbors on either side of me and one neighbor across
the street from me. There are not enough positive adjatives to compliment Mike and his crew.

We had gotten several estimates from other companies and all were roughly the same cost. Went with Hawkeye based on a friend's recommendation. We had no issues with scheduling the estimate nor the actual work. They worked hard and cleaned up very well. Everything went smoothly. Satisfied with the results. Would use them again.

Very well done. Arrived on time, cleaned up after each day. Took special care to protect the koi pond next to the garage. He had the permit, the Village Inspection was well timed. I will have them back to add gutters to the garage. Final clean up was great, not a single stray nail.

The experience was great! The work crews showed up on time and work was completed in about 1.5 weeks.The site was cleaned each day.I found Michael (owner) to be professional, polite and very committed to quality.One minor rework item was taken care of with cheerfulness.

The job went fine. They did a good job. Sometimes, they are very responsive. Other times, you have to follow through a lot. Their communication is hit-or-miss. The quality of the work is still holding up.

Mike the owner was very courteous and helpful. We needed a slight pitch added to a flat roof and he provided a very reasonably priced solution for that, especially in comparison to the other quotes we received. They did the work promptly on the day it was scheduled and everything turned out great.

I spent around $7000 on the job. The job went smoothly. They did a good job. They did what they said they would and cleaned up after themselves. There were no issues. Their boss was very professional, but the workers were a little negligent. There were a few problems. I will use them in the future.

It was great. They were very tidy and did a good job. I did have a minor issue with a portion of the trim, but the owner himself, Michael Wacholtz, came out to fix it. Their price was lower than another estimate that I had received, and many of our neighbors recommend them. I was quite satisfied and would use them again.

Mike, the owner, was here everyday checking on the work was done. They went around the property to make sure every nail was cleaned up, when they were finished installing the roof.
