Allendorfer Roofing

no experience, just commenting to say that the number is disconnected.

Allendorfer Roofing recently removed years of old roofs from our building and then both tuck pointed and put on a new roof. The work crews for Allendorfer are impeccable. They clean up after themselves DAILY and at the end of the project do an amazing final tidy up. This is one messy job and their efforts were truly appreciated. Furthermore, my garden went virtually unscathed throughout the whole process due to the crews’ conscientiousness. Allendorfer did an excellent job with exceptional care. Thank you.

I recently hire this company to replace the roof on my 2-​flat in Andersonville, and I wanted to share my experience.
I purchased my property about 10 years ago, and during the closing inspection it was noted that I needed a new roof. This past fall a leak finally broke through on the second floor and I started searching for a roofing company to get bids. Since money is so tight in this economy. at least for me, I was looking for a good price, good quality and a stable company that you could find if you ever had a problem after the work was completed. I’m in the construction industry, so getting bids and negotiating prices is not a big deal for me, but this process proved more difficult than I could imagine.
One roofing company, who advertised on the radio, sent a guy out that seemed annoyed at any question I asked him. I thought to myself, if I am going to spend thousands of dollars on this project, this company’s representative needs to go back to «salesman training class» and get me excited about the prospect of working with him. That 10 minute meeting produced the highest bid. The rest of the bids varied in price and the scope of work. I’m not sure why the scope of work changed with these guys… I chalk it up to them not listening and not writing their proposals careful enough. You can’t use a standard contract on every job.
One of the companies I contacted was Allendorfer Roofing. I spoke to the owner of the company, Richard Kotowski, and he came out with another guy, maybe his brother, I don’t remember. They were super nice and explained the process in great detail to me. They sent out a carpenter the next day to go over trim details for the overhang on my front porch. The fascia, soffit, gutters, and bead board on the inside of the porch were rotted, so everything needed to be removed and replaced. This gave me an opportunity to design a fascia detail that would look good from the street and complement the design of the architecture on the house. It wasn’t that complicated, but the carpenter understood what I wanted.
The work that has been completed so far is this… The entire roof down to the original wood boards (circa. 1907) has been removed. The wood was in great shape and only needed a little repair, the new roof has been installed and all the debris removed. They built a large box in the back yard and ran a tubular shoot from the roof. They started Monday and finished sealing up the roof yesterday. 2 days for 80% completion. The remaining work, parapet wall rebuild, roof flashing and the porch roof rebuild is happening over the next couple of days. My backyard, sidewalks and the neighbors yards are clean and free of debris. So fast and so organized.
The crew was very nice and from what the owner told me today, they have been working together for years. It certainly shows in the quality of the work and they way the process moves along. The pricing was in the middle compared to the rest of the bids, but the before and during service has been exceptional.
If you are thinking of repairing or replacing your roof this year, I encourage you to contact Allendorfer Roofing Company, Ltd. Make sure you call the one on Pulaski in the city. I will put a follow up review once they are 100% complete.
