Applehanz did great on the roof. They left nails in the old gutters (to be replaced a week later), all around the house, in the driveway, in fact, my husband was walking out in the middle of the yard and ended up with a roofing nail going through his shoe. Thank God it didn't break skin. There was only one person on the crew that spoke VERY broken English. Trying to find that person, was NOT a happening thing. Ugh.
My husband had explained to the "owner/foreman", and showed him a phlange in the back that needed replacing. He said he'd get it taken care of. Roof has been replaced, guttering has been replaced, (and more nails all over), but the old messed up phlange is still there. My husband called the company. The piece is in the warehouse, it'll be taken care of sometime. It shouldn't take 3 appointments and more nails in the yard and driveway.

Luke and staff were great to work with. We had wind damage on three sides, and they made sure the areas were tarped before the chance of rain was back in the forecast. The new roof looks great! Services: Roof installation, Roof repair for storm & wind damage

We recently had Appelhanz Roofing install a new roof and guttering due to storm/wind damage we had back in December 2021. We worked with Luke who reviewed the damage and quoting us a price. Once we decided to go with Appelhanz, we worked with Luke on organizing and setting up a date to tear down our original roof and replace it. Luke did an amazing job. We then worked with Dave and his crew on doing the work on replacing the roof.
His crew did a great job on replacing the roof. They were on time and worked to complete the job and cleaning up the work site. We were very impressed with the whole experience with Appelhanz Roofing Inc. We would recommend Appelhanz Roofing for anyone needing roofing work.

This company are now doing my neighbors roof they are about 10 feet away from our house their workers are rude and messy at least this crew they are using on this job. They threw their supplies against my house the workers blocked our whole front street instead of using the neighbors part of the street also blocking our mailbox they had loud music playing well into 9 pm when we asked for them to move their vehicles none of them spoke English or acted like they did not know English and a couple the men were being flirtatious I was surprised that a well known company have workers that act like that I would never use them and would not feel comfortable with them around my home also my neighbor to the south of me asked them not to block her mailbox and the one female they had working for them began speaking Spanish calling her names however the neighbor is also Hispanic and understood what she was saying a male worker then stepped in as well as my neighbors husband trying to get her to stop I usually do not make reviews or state my opinion but felt the need to let people know as this kind of thing should be reported

I called Applehanz Roofing after a recent storm and they called me back promptly, gave me a quick estimate and repaired my roof within the week. I will most definitely call on them again should I have any Roofing needs in the future. Service: Roof repair for storm & wind damage

Can't speak highly enough Appelhanz Roofing. When we lost portions of our roof in that last bad storm, Matt Appelhanz had his crew out here putting a temporary cover on our roof the same day. Plus, he kept me informed on the status of our materials for the new roof. Hopefully, we won't have to do anything like this again for a long time but I know who I'm calling and recommending for all future roofing needs.
