Report
They are a small, specialty roof company. We had a very good experience with them. Our roof has been fine and they fixed a problem that had been difficult to fix. We weren't shocked by the price or anything. We haven't had anymore leaks. I think we waited a little longer than we would have liked.

Report
We were happy with them. We are yet to see if our roof is going to leak and we are hoping that it wouldn?t leak. We would know when it rains a lot. Otherwise, our interactions with them were excellent. We chose them because they specialize in metal roof. There was a little section of our roof around the parameter between the first and second floors that had to be fixed. It was that portion which was made of metal.
They were clean and pleasant. They did what they said they were going to do. Our interactions with them were very good. They showed up when we wanted. We did get another quote and they were similar. Their work seems to be neat and they seemed to know what they were talking about. It took them a little while to get it scheduled but I don?t think that was a problem. However, they were pretty good in terms of communicating with us. We would use their services in the future too.
