We just recently hired Hefferan Roofing for the second time since we purchased our house in 2014. The first time was to put on a new silver coating on the part of our roof that was a flat rolled roof, and this time to finally replace the whole roof of our house and detached garage since we knew it was on its final days and was missing a couple shingles, including all new gutters, fascia, and soffit. The house is a split-level, where half has shingles and the other half is a flat roof, whereas the garage is all shingle. The first time we hired them, I was impressed with their work and professionalism (not to mention cost). This time, I was impressed even more.
We had four different roofing companies come out to give us an estimate of the work a couple weeks back. I came across Hefferan originally due to recommendations from two neighbors on my block, and wanted to get a few other estimates to compare. In the end, it came down to two, but I decided on Hefferan because of their openness and honesty that I felt was a step better than the runner up (and much a lot better than the other two), as well, surprisingly, even being on the more affordable end. Because of this, we were able to get a little more done that we wanted, that we were expecting to not be able to afford this time around.
Mike at Hefferan was more than happy to answer all the questions I had, and really spent a lot of time with us to make sure we were happy. He was also very quick to respond by phone when I later thought of other questions to ask. He assured us that unlike many other roofing companies in the area where it takes them days if not weeks to finally complete replacing the roof (and often requiring them to leave a large garbage bin in the driveway for days), his team could have both the house and garage’s roof not only removed, but completely replaced the same day! Though I was skeptical, he was right! They showed up just as expected at about 7am on the day we were scheduled with 9 workers plus Mike. Astonishingly, they were all packed up and driving away just before 1pm! They were very methodical; you could tell they’ve all been doing this a long time and all know their “stations” and what needed to get done. They were thorough with the cleaning as well, and Mike came and went numerous times throughout the day to ensure everything was going as expected, and even jumped in himself to do some of the work. He was also great in double and triple-checking all the work (for the roofing, as well as soffit, fascia, and gutters), and even was proactive in telling one of the guys to redo a bit of soffit work that wasn’t up to par to his standards.
They set the expectations that the roofing work would be finished in one day, and that all the aluminum work would be done in a following day, and they met the set expectations.
When Hefferan came out to give us a quote and show us different shingle coloring options, they even supplied a sheet of paper with dozens of addresses (double-sided!) of recent work they’ve done just in Mount Prospect alone, so that we could see what each color looked like in person.
To wrap up, I highly recommend Hefferan Roofing for any of your roofing needs. Whether that’s maintenance of an old roof, replacing a flat roof, shingles, fascia, soffit or gutters, they can do it all and very efficiently and professionally. And even without breaking the bank. They’re very reasonable and competitive, and I can only speak very highly of Mike and the whole staff. You won’t be disappointed.
