Much higher than most — the typical roofer in Florida sits at 2.5%. A higher share is a reason to read the critical reviews below, not a verdict.

Just a quick update now that I figured out how to edit my review. The Daryl I was referring to was Mr. Hickman’s son whatever his name is. The one that never returned multiple phone calls. I have since had the skylights removed by a …

Home owner first contacted Hickman in December 20, 2023 claiming a skylight leak and that she had fixed the roof herself using a “handyman”. Home owner stated the repair did not work. Hickman advised the roof was modified by others and Hickman is not responsible for any subsequent repairs. In addition, The warranty expired in 2018. Hickman did a courtesy inspection completed on 12-21-23. Inspection showed the walls and ceiling had an unknown dark substance on multiple areas. No evidence of water stains due to a leak. The interior of the glass skylights had condensation from excessive moisture in the home. Advised home owner to consult an competent HVAC contractor to evaluate and correct the moisture issue. Complaint states that “Daryl Hickman” inspected and never returned calls. There has never been a Daryl Hickman associated with this company.

I have no record dating back to 1998 of Walker-Tanner being a customer or having contacted me with a complaint. Please advise if the original contract was a different name.

I recently called them for an estimate on a semi substantial metal roof repair. Was told to text him my information, and his son would get back with me. Nobody ever reached out. I decided to message him again to make sure I hadn’t missed a …

Existing and potential Hickman Metal Roofing customers - a demand letter may be the only way to get Hickman to meet its contractual obligations to you. They are not returning phone calls or voice messages, and are showing no sign that they will meet their commitments without legal pressure. Hickman Metal Roofing installed our metal roof less than 10 years ago, and it is still under warranty. There is one section of the roof that we've had to have repaired several times. They said damage was caused by a tree branch near the house. However, we had the branch in question removed, and the same section started leaking again. We've been trying to contact them for more than 10 days. We've had 2 no-shows on appointments they set with us to evaluate and address the damage, and they have not answered our voicemails or written messages. Heavy rains are expected soon, so their failure to call us back or keep their appointments may result in much more extensive damage.

We used Hickman roofing thinking that they were a reputable roofing company. We learned quickly that is not necessarily true. They replaced our roof with aluminium roofing and they told us that they stood behind their work. NOT TRUE!! We …

Roof was completed on 10-20-2005 after many delays and home owner wanting to cancel contract after materials were received and permit was issued. The workmanship warranty was 5 years and expired 10-20-2010. On 8-5-2016 as a gesture of good will, I sent a crew to do a repair at NO COST to the home owner. Home owner has been advised numerous times to remove tree debris buildup from the roof as it may cause damage if left there for long periods. I keep detailed phone logs for customer complaints and find NO record of any calls. The workmanship warranty expired nearly 11 years ago.

Back in 2014 this company did a brand new roof for us. There is a 10 yr warranty for it and now it is leaking. I have been calling and leaving messages and they NEVER return them. All I am asking is for them to take a look and fix it. The …

Ms. O'Connell, Your name is not in my database or job files. Please contact my office for more information. Spoke to Ms. O'Connell on 7-22-21 after two prior attempts to contact her failed. After being informed by Ms. O'Connell this was not her roof but someone she represents I found the job file. The roof was completed in July 2014. The workmanship warranty was 5 years expiring more than two years ago. As a gesture of good faith I sent a foreman on June 4, 2021 to look at the complaint area. There is an old metal roof that attaches to the roof I did. The old metal is rotted (it was in a similar condition in 2014) and unrepairable. This area was specifically excluded from any warranty that Hickman Metal Roofing offered. Home owner requested and was given an estimate to replace the old metal roof and it was declined. As to the complaint that the permit was never closed, City of Gainesville issued a Certificate of Occupancy on July 31, 2014 to officially close out permit. I have no proof that Ms. O'Connell is authorized to negotiated on behalf of the owner. When I notified Ms. O'Connell of this she hung up the phone on me.

Hickman Metal Roofing installed our roof in 2007. It still looks like new! They were prompt, professional and did a great job. We also got a 33% discount on homeowners insurance because of the metal roof. It paid for itself in 9 years!

We couldn't be happier with our beautiful new metal roof! The entire Hickman crew were friendly, communitive and professional. They were timely and cleaned all debris before they left. We highly recommend them!

Derek gave us a professional estimate and when weighted against others, we chose his team. They came out in one day and brought our roof up to code for insurance purposes. When we later discovered a leak, he came out himself and made the repair. We recommend this business.

The best company for any kind of metal roofing. I had standing seam metal roof done at my house and then had them do my rental properties as well. They are fast and reliable.

I can highly recommend Hickman metal roofing. They installed an exposed fastener metal roof on my home in October 2025. The roof looks amazing and cost wise they were right in the middle of all the estimates gathered. Derek Hickman and the installation crew were friendly and professional. All calls / emails were answered promptly. I never had to chase any one down to get answers. I am very happy with the work they did.

We had our original roof done on our mobile home in 2010. Yesterday, we had a small leak around an exhaust fan with the blowing rain we have had. Derrick came out today and fixed the problem. Very professional and nice. We love our metal roof and the service from Hickman.

Had a roof leak with our metal roof. Called Hickman Roofing on Monday and Derek came out Wednesday. Found the leak and explained what had happened. We had him fix the issue. Was very professional and did a great job. Would recommend this company to others.
