Handyman Roofing

I've called Handyman Roofing twice in the 15 years I've lived in Pinellas County.

The first time was in 2020 after a valley in my then 25 year-old tile roof failed, dumping part of my garage ceiling on top of my motorcycle. Handyman came out, performed the difficult task of finding matching tile, and replaced the failed valley over the course of a few days. They never left the house vulnerable to weather and gave me a good price plus guarantee.

I chose Handyman for the valley after receiving estimates from five other roofing companies because I felt that Handyman's price and warranty were a better deal than any of their competitors.

Towards the end of 2023, and after two near-misses by hurricanes in 2022 and 2023, we started to see wet carpet in our master closet after heavy rains and didn't want the ceiling to come down the way it did in 2020 in my garage, so I called Handyman immediately for an estimate on another valley replacement. They scheduled the job for a few days later, but after tearing off the old weatherproofing, they told me that it might be time to replace more than just the valley, I might want to consider replacing my entire 28 year-old tile roof this time. They left me to decide for the weekend, but were sure to fully seal up the uncovered portion while I decided.

The price this time was 50% higher than their original whole roof estimate in 2020 due to a shortage of materials and higher labor costs. I elected to have them put a double layer of peel and stick underlayment down, increasing my warranty to 20 years for the roof, and I asked them to go ahead and replace the rusted chimney cap while they were up there.

The next week, they came out and spent 3 days stripping off my old roof, replacing rotten wood, and sealing up the parts they had uncovered before leaving for the evening. The new tile was on order, so I'd need to wait for it to arrive.

About 6 weeks later, I got a call from them, telling me the tile would be delivered on Monday. They were done on Tuesday.

There is a quantifiable sense of comfort in knowing that a heavy rain just isn't going to be an issue. Handyman Roofing provided that sense of comfort. They weren't the cheapest roofing company, but I think they are the best value when I put all the factors together.

I had the unfortunate experience of a leak in my ceiling during a heavy rain storm. Handyman Roofing sent someone over the next day to give me a quote on a repair job for my roof & also put up tarps on my roof to prevent future leaks until the work could be done. Once work commenced, the project manager let me know that, due to the age and condition of my roof, the repair job would need to be expanded slightly, or I may want to consider having the entire roof replaced. (Completely understandable as it's hard to assess the full extent of damage until work starts.) He showed and explained to me precisely what the problems were, so I felt informed in making the decision to have the entire roof repaired. This company was very quick in getting the work scheduled and completed and was very responsive to any of my calls with questions. A secondary water barrier was included in the price, as well as a wind inspection report for my home insurance. They also reconfigured the venting in my roof to better cool the attic spaces. Handyman Roofing really exceeded my expectations, and I'd highly recommend them to my friends & neighbors.

no no no never .......... they came out and showed up late first of all ..... didn't call or message they were showing up 30 min late ,,,,,,,, so not impressed to start with ............. i was also reluctant because this company blasts their tv/internet ads like furious as if they're desparate for biz and now we see why ....... they sux move onto a nother roofer

The owner is a con artist and they do very bad work. Nothing but lies. ANY roofer would do a better job. Heck, anyone, roofer or not, would do better work.

I had a small leak over my sons bedroom, and I called for a estimate. and they got right out there to give me the estimate. The price seemed reasonable. I asked a few friends what they thought. Although, I did not get another estimate. I just wanted to get it done. Did not want any more damage to my roof. The price was 1,400.00
they had to replace some damaged wood also. I have not had any problems so far. They also took pictures per my request and sent them to me on my phone. So, I could see what they were doing. For the worked they had to do. I think the price seemed reasonable. They got there right away to do the roof, which I was very pleased about. So, no more damage could take Place. If I had more work to do on my roof, I would definitely call them again.

Bad customer service in my experience.
I reached out to have some repairs done and apparently someone went out to the property to give a quote but I never heard anything back. I called the company to follow up and they said the workers had left for the day/weekend.

11 years ago they did my whole roof. Currently needing work I called them. Once ....twice..... 3rd time I finally get someone out here by rewording my request. They show up on a Wednesday I call Friday no estimate...
Monday nothing Tuesday I call asking for owner or manager. Wouldn't you know it she didn't want to give me a owner or manager until I stated again who I wanted ....Wouldn't you know it the guy who did my estimation was the one I was put on the phone with... A MANAGER ....He had my proposal Thursday didn't call . Had 2 numbers to call. It was my fault though for being at the vet on the day of the estimate.

Nick came one on 8/27/19 to take a look at the problem I was having with my roof. He said he would email me the next day with the estimate of what it would cost to take care of the issues with my roof. I never heard from him, so I called the office and told them I was afraid he must not have my correct email address, so I provided my information again. It's now Sept 6 and I still have received no response. My neighbor also had requested an estimate the same day and she has not received any response either. Sorry, not a fan of this company.

I have to say we had a very good experience with this company.
They came and inspected an area of damage to our roof after hurricane Irma. They arrived promptly, we received a fair estimate and they stuck to the price. The work was done promptly thereafter. We have not gotten on the roof to inspect but don't feel we have to as the leak is cleared up and they provided clear documentation of the work from a required inspection.
They found an additional area of damage that was not discovered at first, they fixed it at no extra cost.
I would use them again and recommend them.

Not a very honest company. They give you a free "estimate", but then keep coming back to your house, saying the roof is worse than they thought, and increasing the estimate until you threaten to find another roofer (this is complicated by the fact that they already paid the county for the permits to do the work).

They originally gave us the free estimate of $925. When they came back to actually do the work, they said it was worse than they thought and would actually cost four times more: $3,730. When they came back for a third time, they said it was even worse again and they would need to repair twice as much area or the work wouldn't be warrantied. So we told them we would find a new roofer. They apparently couldn't handle the thought of not getting our money, so they agreed to do all of the work for the second quoted amount of $3,730 and warranty all of it.

After that shiesty process was finally over, we had to argue about the contract because they refused to make it say the 10-year warranty applied to all of the work that was done.

The quality of the work seems to be okay (it has been one month and it hasn't rained a whole lot but it doesn't appear to be leaking again yet). But it was a lot more effort than it should have been and I am pretty sure we got ripped off.
