So thankful that J.A.Kay Roofing ventured into carport cover installation. After the snow/ice of 2021 my carport cover collapsed. Contacted J.A.Kay Roofing for installation of new carport cover and received very prompt and professional services. Great professionalism from every employee including office staff with appointment time setup. Weston kept me informed on everything with ordering, delivery of supplies, and starting of installation. Very polite young men who came to do the work. Daily clean up and all done. So very pleased with my new carport cover. A job well done from J.A.Kay roofing. Yvonne Brown, Carthage Texas.

When I called for an estimate they were out within 24 hours. When I gave authorization the job started within a week. They told me they would be there at 6 am, at 5:55 am they arrived and by 6:01 am they were on the roof working. They completed the job in the exact amount of time they promised(two days) and cleaned up after themselves in a manner such that I have found no debris left behind, including nails.
The roof looks great and comes with a warranty from a local company. Finally, the final invoice matched the estimate to the penny. There were no hidden fees or add-ons. I was very satisfied with this company.

I highly recommend using J.A.Kay Roofing, they use superior products such as the Malarky Class 4 High Impact Rated Shingle. Adding a new roof to my house drastically reduced my home owners insurance rate! I appreciate the quality of the work, impeccable customer service, and experts who are completely responsive to whatever questions or concerns that you may have when making this type of purchase.
