What do recent reviews say?

Most jobs run smooth: crews show up on time, work cleanly, and finish when promised. Staff like Chris, Aaron, Mike and Myles handle customers with care and explain work clearly without pushy sales tactics. Estimating sometimes lapses, and one reviewer felt a separate protection fee should have been listed upfront.

Named installers and managers (Chris, Aaron, Mike, Myles, John, Ramon) earn repeated praise for professionalism and attention to detail. Shingle, skylight, flashing, and roof replacement work stands out. Pricing sits mid-range compared to bigger competitors. Long-term customers report roofs holding up well years later.
