My experience with Panther Siding & Windows, Inc was an… read more excellent one. First, I needed the wood pole that held the wires connecting the electric from the street to my home replaced and the soffit repaired. The electrician they sent was great and completed the job safely and professionally. Then they sent their guys to repair the soffit and reattach the gutters.. they did a fantastic job. Next, I had wind damage on my roof, front lawn light, side door light and awning.. the entire roof (3 layers) needed to be removed and a new roof put on. Glen handled all dealings with my homeowners insurance to get the roof replaced as well as my front light, side light and side awning. The roof was removed and replaced in one day with a fantastic crew of workers. They worked neatly and all of the materials from the original roof ended up in the dumpster and not on my property. They completed the job by the end of the day, and it looked great. My next door neighbors later commented on how impressed they were with the crew, they had had their roof replaced a couple of years before and the company they used left lots of nails and screws on their property. With the help of Glen I ordered the lights that needed to be replaced from a company I choose, unfortunately the light I ordered was custom, originally they said I would have it in 8 weeks.. that ended up being over 6 months. When I called Glen to have the lights installed he had a crew to my home within a week. They changed all of the fixtures and my home looks great and I now have beautiful lights. Throughout this whole process Glen and all of the people at Panther were helpful and professional. I will definitely use them for future jobs that come up in my home and will highly recommend them whenever I can. read less

I hired Panther to remodel my bathroom and am very… read more pleased with the way it came out. Everytime there was a setback or a problem Glen the owner would get on the phone and address it. Whether it was electrical or plumbing Glen had someone take care of it right away. What I like the most was there were no cheap materials or cutting corners. What my wife like the most was dealing with Kate, the interior designer who helped pick out everything without ever leaving the house. Jesse, Romeo and Jesus who did the work were very skilled and easy to work with. Everything I brought to there attention they took care of it. I would definitely recommend them and would use them in the future. read less

3/13/2020I just had my roof repaired by Panther Siding and… read more Windows. The experience dealing with this company, and the manager Ron DiRusso was both pleasant and very easy. when they came to give me an estimate they could have recommended I replace my entire roof. However that was not the case. They repaired it and guaranteed it for a year. However if I should need a whole new roof within the next two years they will apply the money already received to the price of the roof. Can’t ask for more then that. I highly recommend Panther Siding &Windows in North Bellmore read less

3/13/2020As first time home buyers, my wife and I were… read more in desperate need of a reliable, trustworthy contractor to give our fixer upper some much needed updating. Panther Siding & Windows exceeded our expectation. It all started with Glen meeting with us at our house to figure out the new layout. Our renovation was no small task. The entire first floor was gutted, walls were moved, and all plumbing and electric had to be redone. Within an hour Glen was able to rough out a floor plan and suggest finishes that fell within our budget and style. Demo began the next week and everything took off from there.Not only did Glen and his foreman Anthony keep us informed every step of the way, they kept our home clean while under construction. They also finished a full month ahead of schedule! As we look at the finished product, we are amazed at the transformation. What was once an outdated fixer upper is now a modern home you would expect to see in a magazine! The purchase of a first home is a huge deal and undertaking an extensive renovation is another hurdle altogether. Thankfully, we were in good hands. Both me and my wife plan on using Glen and his team of experts for all of our future remodeling projects. read less

At Panther Siding and Windows, we have been helping the residents of Nassau County improve their homes for more than 30 years. Our family-owned and operated company specializes in all aspects of home improvement, including roofing installation and roofing repair. Over the decades, we’ve developed a reputation of excellence and Barnum Island, NY residents know that they can count on us to handle all of their roofing needs. When it comes to roofing contractors in Barnum Island, NY, no other company is more committed to delivering higher quality craftsmanship and exceptional customer satisfaction than the pros at Panther Siding and Windows. Whether your roof needs to be repaired or completely replaced, you want to make sure that you choose the right roofing contractor. While it’s true that there’s no shortage of roofing companies in Nassau County, unfortunately, they aren’t all created equally. While most roofing contractors are reputable craftsmen, there are roofers who say that they’re knowledgeable and experienced but their claims are nothing more than smoke and mirrors. In reality, they are inexperienced, use subpar materials, and their work is shoddy at best. Your roof is one of the most important components of your Barnum Island home. It’s the first line of defense from the elements and it plays a vital role in your safety and comfort. Don’t fall victim to shady roofing companies who are looking to cash in on unsuspecting homeowners or who simply don’t have the knowledge and experience that a job as important as roofing repair and installation demands. By making sure you thoroughly vet prospective roofing contractors, you can be sure that you’re choosing a reputable professional that will offer reliable results. Here’s a look at six important questions that you should ask potential contractors before hiring. The answers to these questions will tell you more about the candidates and help to guide you in the right direction.
Are you insured?
The answer that you want to hear to this question is a resounding “yes”! Workers’ compensation insurance is a compulsory requirement for roofing companies in Nassau County; nevertheless, some contractors skimp on insurance to save themselves some money. Insurance isn’t cheap and instead of paying high premiums, some roofers would rather take their chances, but you shouldn’t take your chances on a company that isn’t insured. If you do, there’s a real possibility that you could end up paying the price. If an employee on an uninsured roofer’s team sustains an injury while repairing or installing your roof, guess who is going to end up footing the bill? (Hint: it’s going to be you!) Don’t be afraid to ask for proof of insurance. Reputable Nassau County roofing companies will have no problem sharing this information with you. If any of the candidates you contact dismiss your request for proof or seem hesitant to furnish it, consider that a red flag and keep on looking. What’s the physical address of your business? Confirm the roofing contractor’s address and make sure that the location is within close proximity to Nassau County. If their address is listed as a P.O. Box, make sure you ask for their physical location. Often, con artists that claim they’re legitimate roofing contractors will register their business name to a P.O. Box and close up shop when before actually completing the job or as soon as a problem arises. Be leery of anyone who won’t give you an actual physical address. Additionally, if the company’s physical location is far away – in another state, for example – you may want to consider looking elsewhere. If any issues arise, you want to be sure that your contractor can easily reach you and that you can easily reach them. For instance, if a leak occurs after the company has repaired or installed your roof and they’re situated hundreds of miles away, you could be left hanging for several days until the problem is addressed. Another note on the contractor’s physical address: make sure you look it up and locate it. Unfortunately, shady contractors can give fake addresses that don’t really exist. If that’s the case, you’ll want to find out that information before you make a mistake and hire them.
How long have you been in business?
Sure, it’s true that roofing companies that have just started out can have the potential to offer great results; however, there’s something to be said about experience. The longer the contractor has been around, the more projects they’ve completed and they more references they’ll have. You want to work with a roofer who has a long-standing history within the Nassau County community; someone who has a solid reputation, references that you can contact, and work that you can see. Ideally, you should choose a company that has no less than 10 years of experience in the roofing industry. Do you have references? As mentioned, the longer a roofer has been in business, the more references they’ll have. Make sure you ask prospective roofing companies if they can provide you with a list of references; the actual names and contact information of previous clients. Reach out to those references to find out what their experience was like and how satisfied they were with the results the contractor provided. How do you handle refuse? The answer to this question might seem obvious, but a lot of Barnum Island, NY homeowners are surprised to find that some roofing companies expect their clients to handle the refuse. Whether you’re repairing or replacing your roof, there’s going to be a lot of waste, and all of that waste needs to be placed somewhere. Make sure that the contractor supplies their own container to collect refuse, otherwise you may end up having to provide a dumpster and being stuck with the associated rental and removal fee. Do you offer a written estimate? Don’t, under any circumstances, work with a contractor who does not offer a written estimate. Doing so could lead to expensive problems down the road. A reputable roofer will offer a detailed estimate that highlights the cost of whatever type of work you’re having done (repairs, removal of the old roof, new materials, labor, etc.), and the estimate will be provided in writing. If a company doesn’t offer a written estimate, they could sneak in hidden and exorbitant costs that can take you by total surprise when you receive the final bill. Do not sign a contract unless a written estimate is offered.
When it comes to your roof, you don’t want to take any chances. Contact a roofer that you can feel confident working with; contact the pros at Panther Siding and Windows! With more than three decades of experience and a proven track record of success, we’re one of the most trusted roofing companies in Nassau County.
