After a tree hit my garage, I collected a few estimates and felt the most security from Building Associates! They were on time, always in communication and the whole team was friendly and respectful! You can't even tell a huge tree hit my garage a few weeks ago, all thanks to them! Huge shoutout to Clint for making this so easy!

Consulting with their team, we opted to roof an area over a deck that had many water problems. The new roof gave us a shaded sitting area and solved the water problem. We could not be happier with every member of their team. They used quality materials installed by skilled craftsmen with a beautiful end result. When something about the trim was not quite up to their standards, they came back out to tweak it. That was After our bill was all paid. That tells you a lot about who they are as a company. Do not hesitate to give them a call!
