Very fair price compared to other quotes, with good materials. Reroofing was done quickly and professionally with the crew doing a great job of laying tarps down to catch stray material. A thorough inspection of the work was provided by Charles to ensure it was done to my satisfaction. What was quoted is what was charged. Highly recommend.

We had a new roof installed in 2013 and were delighted with the work. However, we recently had new gutters installed and found out that there was no flashing. We had to purchase flashing and replace the fascia boards. Our advice is to make sure the job is done right. Never assume it is no matter how reputable they seem to be.

From the moment I called, to the time of my estimate, to getting my roof to paying to having the roof put on to paying my balance, the whole experience was amazing. At no time was I swept under the rug, ignored or told something different. Honest. Affordable. Experienced. The workers put my roof on in one day. My roof was 40 years old, so it really was at the end of its life. Charles was so close in his estimate of how much plywood might be need to reproof, I only need 7 more then he estimated.when it comes time to do my shop and my offshoot of my porch. I'm definitely calling back. I will say the estimate was not the cheapest but also not the most expensive, but they way I was treated through this whole process is what got my business.

Charles Graydon was very professional and didn't beat around the bush. He listened to my concerns, inspected and gave us a very reasonable quote with a Military Discount. The very next day a small crew was here, fixed the problems and cleaned up the area. The office was very friendly over the phone when I paid my bill. I will most definitely use them in the future. Thanks to the entire team.

After contacting several roofing companies over a few years, I knew instantly that The Roof Doctor was the company to hire. They indulged all my questions and were honest, timely & extremely efficient. From our initial contact to completion they were professional, not pushy and didn't try to sell me more than I needed or was looking for. I highly recommend!
