Consumer beware! The owner is rude, unapologetic, and lakes empathy. I had a brand new roof, gutters, downspouts, and some gutter guards done 13 months ago. This company was not the cheapest but not the most expensive either, I went with him because Atlas shingles was supposed to hold up well against black streaks, time will tell. During the install, there was damage done to my vinyl siding, exhaust vent on roof and marks on driveway. My HVAC guy took care of the vent, and one of his workers removed the marks off driveway. However it took over a year to finally get my damaged siding replaced. Some of that time was because of winter coming, but still took longer than it should have. The owner would not come out, never once apologized for the incident. In fact he kept acting like I was being unreasonable because I wanted my property made whole. The 5 year warranty isn't worth the paper it is written on. The owner won't even take a call, email, or text anymore. Anyone looking to replace your roof I would go elsewhere. Also if I could give zero stars I would for the lack of willingness to fix a problem in a timely manner, and general rudeness of the owner.Hinkle & Van Dine Roofing, LLC Response

As in any business we eventually (after 25+ years) stumble into a client who is impossible to satisfy and has difficulty with details. In this case, we installed and roof, new seamless gutters, and surflo leaf guards for Mr. C***. After we were finished and a few weeks had past; Mr. C*** said a couple pieces of siding had been stained by the install of the roof. We investigated and found his claim to not be valid, but we said we would clean his siding for him. We did so; and a few weeks later Mr. C*** again complained and said it wasn't good enough. So we agreed to pay for a professional house cleaner to clean the home. A month or so after cleaning the home, Mr. C*** demanded that this wasn't good enough so we agreed to replace the siding that we did no damage to at our cost. It is noteworthy that our crew was working around a funeral at the time which caused Mr. C*** to be nasty to our foreman. We have also repsonded to three (3) separate calls where Mr. C*** claimed there was an issue with the roof and we responded with no charge to him. Now over 1 year later, we received an email from Mr. C*** demanding that someone come out and address an issue again with his roof. We received the email on 9/10 and even though we are extremely busy helping folks recover from tornado damage and other pressing issues, we re***anged the schedule of a crew and responded that we would again send a repair crew (free of charge) on 9/13. Mr. C*** responded angrily to the email "No, as I stated earlier I no longer want your services. Cancel your crew." In summary, we have gone above an beyond to do all we can to assist Mr. C***. We have always handled him profressionally, even though he has been mean, deameaning and demanding of our employees. We feel it is unfortunate that he has responded this way, and always care for our clients and their needs to the best of our abilities. If you have any doubts please let us know and we will put you in contact with one of our many hundreds / thousands of satisified clients.Customer Response

I was not demanding or rude to any of the owners workers, that is just untrue. Also it was not weeks, he was notified after the job was finished of the damages to my property. When ever I attempted to set an appointment I would ask when your crew is available. *** the owner, lacked effective communication and would ignore emails, and texts, If he did happen to respond it would be weeks later and he would give almost no notice for when his crew would arrive. A picture is worth a thousand words which is why I took some before and after installation of my roof, gutters, and downspouts. One of his workers used a magic eraser on my siding to clean it, ultimately resulting in the siding needing to be replaced. He was also offered quotes from other siding companies if he was to busy to fix it. When you hire a contractor to do a job and if damages occur they should be made right and in a timely manner. Unfortunately some individuals lack integrity.Review from Erika S

Hinkle & Van Dine Roofing did a fantastic job replacing our roof. Communication was flawless. The job was completed on time, no delays whatsoever. We asked for some extra soffit repair, which they included at minimal charge and it looks amazing! Final invoice was at quoted price with no surprises. And they left our back deck/porch cleaner than it was when they arrived! We would definitely recommend Hinkle Roofing to anyone looking for repair or replacement.Review from Patty L

I read the brochures on the different shingles/roofing products by Owens Corning, CertianTeed and Atlas. I decided to go with the Atlas brand of Pinnacle Pristine Shingles/roofing products based on the Warranty, 130mph wind resistance protection, Scotchgard shingle protection. I found Hinkle & Van Dine Roofing,LLC listed under the installers for Atlas products. I also checked the BBB listing and found they have an A+ rating. I contacted Jim Hinkle who came and assessed my roof, noted I had some areas where ice dams had formed leaving some roof/ceiling damage. He provided information about the installment of Ice+Water shingle underlayment and replacing current vent cover on the roof which is over my stove fan with the proper vent cover. He gave a fair and reasonable estimate to replace my roof. Jim keeps you informed about the scheduling of your roof replacement and if there is going to be any delays. On the day they did my roof replacement , his work team arrived on time. They covered/protected my bushes and the yard under the work area. His work team is polite, very organized, fast, and hard working from the roofers installing the shingles on the roof to thoroughly cleaning up the debris after the roof replacement was completed. I think they did an excellent job, my roof looks great and I would recommend Hinkle & Van Dine Roofing,LLC for your roofing replacement. From Patty LReview from Carly S

I cannot say enough good things about this company! Jim and his crew were great to work with. We have an 1800s farmhouse with a couple old barns, a chicken coop, smoke house and shed. Our barns had the original cedar shakes on them and were a complete tear off. We were worried about things getting damaged in the process but his team handled the project with ease! He worked with our schedule and even had a crew come out on a weekend as to not interfere with our daily business operations. Whenever I had a question or concern, I could easily reach Jim on his cell rather then calling into an office and waiting to talk to someone. The roofing team on site was friendly and easy to work around. I recommend this company to any residential or business location old or new!Review from Barbara C

Would highly recommend Hinkle & Van Dine Roofing. The crews did a total tear off ( 3 layers ) roof replacement and gutter replacement. The crew was on time, reliable and did the roof and gutter replacement in less than 3 days. The first night after the shingles were removed, it rained ( not predicted ). I got a knock on my door at 1 a.m. by two of the crew members who ended up climbing onto the roof to check the underlay material for any possible leakage. Knew at that point that this was a great choice on my part. I have recommended this company to neighbors and one did use my recommendation with success.Review from Philip C

We wanted to eliminate the roofing issues associated with an asphalt shingle roof (hail, wind, deterioration, storm chasers) and decided to replace our asphalt shingle roof with a metal roof. Jim Hinkle helped us select a quality metal and then installed the roof. The workmanship was excellent and the roof looks great. We received warranties for workmanship and the materials. Our organization interacts with many different roofing contractors and we have found Jim Hinkle to be one of the most honest and professional people in the industry.Review from Craig F

I had read reviews and heard about Hinkle and Van Dyne roofing. Jim came out and gave me a quote and was very reasonable. They showed up on the time and day that we agreed on and knocked it out of the park. The gutters were put up within a couple days and when the job was completed they were paid. Totally awesome company and have a sign still out front so hopefully they can get more business
