Excellent repair.
Hackman did a great job with everything! Setting up an estimate was a breeze, the quoted price was reasonable, and after I returned the signed contract, the work was completed quickly and without hassle. I will definitely use Hackman again if I need a roof repair. I'd recommend them to anyone...
Hackman SmartRoofThe initial response & pre-inspection was efficient with knowledgeable staff. Owner called back within 24 hours to discuss quote and the process.

Excellent work, professional, expert. Roof work is expensive. Firelight Complete Chimney is in high demand, so the waiting list for his time might be more than a few weeks.

"I am sure that all positive reviews for this company are fake. Nothing that was promised to me was delivered. My siding project is still ongoing for over 1 month. Was told that it would be done in week. Had one rain day. They have system like this: 1) sales person who never installed anything he will promise you things that obviously are not true, 2) crew that is subcontracted but not Gunner, mine was driving for over 2 hours away, 3) person who oversees the project but has little control over anything, no supply, doesn't know the crew, crew does not listen to him, main office does not listen to him, 4) main office does not reply to you. They just tell me to talk to project manager who has no control. So you understand that if there are any issue you are on your own. Quality or work is not good. Many times I had to point to the crew what's wrong, planks are broken yet they were still installing it, caulking is done they way that I can do it better, they cut wires to awning etc"

Water is currently able to enter my home through the roof because of their actions. It was not like this before they worked on my home.
