Award winning. Family owned & operated. We specialize in residential storm damage restoration, roof replacements and repairs. We provide complete turnkey insurance claims assistance from the initial FREE INSPECTION, meeting with your adjuster through completing the work with our high quality crew that is covered by liability and workman's compensation insurance. We also do cash jobs and provide cash estimates. We offer short and long term financing. Additional phone numbers (205) 616-1430, (205) 789-9733 and (317) 432-1971. *****Our primary business philosophy is “do what you say your going to do when you say you’re going to do it”.******

"It has gone very smoothly, I worked with Alfred Pickett, (205) 837-1011, who quoted the job, scheduled the job with one of Authentic Restoration's roofing crews. It is Alfred who stood fast that our roof was damaged and likely that our insurance adjuster would approve coverage payments. This occurred on an incredible day when I coincidentally paid a home inspector to inspect a small area on my roof that another "sub" of mine had patched. Alfred was standing nearby and we didn't say a word that Alfred was a roofer. I asked the Home Inspector to check our roof while he was up there - and he came down and told me the roof was not damaged by hail! When the inspector left, Alfred showed me on his "Tablet" the picture he took of our roof and there were many pale charcoal-colored spots in the picture. This was the hail damage we suspected that occurred in April 2017. Our terrific Cincinnati Insurance Co. paid all of our $40,638 roofing/new gutters bill except a $2,500 deductible that we happily paid. Authentic Restoration performed a great job on our home's roof and (don't forget) gutters. I am so big on Restoration that we got my youngest Stepson's home re-roofed due to hail damage also, and happily this home was covered by Cincinnati Insurance also (hail damage). In addition, I've led, so far, two of my neighbors who own luxury homes with hail-damaged roofs to Alfred and they are getting new replacement roofs covered by insurance. Alfred has also made things easy in doing our two jobs and I am very fortunate that we crossed paths because he has saved my wife and I some serious money and made it easy!!"

"We called them on August 16th last year because our unit upstairs was not cooling. A person came out, said that we were low on freon and added some. It cooled for half a day and then got hot again. We called again on the 17th, we were told there was a leak, they added freon said they thought they had fixed the leak. on the 20th, it got hot again upstairs, we called them to take a look. A differenct guy said the first guy didn't fix the leak but he would fix. For those service calls we paid almost $400 dollars. That was 6 months ago. Again our upstairs unit was not cooling. My son called and we got charged the emergency rate of $145 they spent 15 minutes and told us they would have to come out next morning. After their "inspection" we were told that we should have registered the upstairs unit as it was just out of warranty (We didn't install it, how were we supposed to know to "register" it) and that it was the coil leaking and the outside fan unit leaking (same one 6 months ago that was supposed to have been fixed). We were told that it would cost us $1500 dollars. We told them no thank you just put freon in, we got charged and an additional $560 labor and inspection fees. Do not use Trinity Contractors if you want the issue fixed and not be robbed blind. We will never use this contractor again."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

No, you don’t always have to remove old wallpaper before applying a new layer. However, you should pull off the existing wallpaper if it’s cracked, peeling, or in poor condition. We’d also recommend against putting wallpaper over textured or dark-colored wallpaper because the old layer may be visible through the new one. In addition, if you try to hang new wallpaper over vinyl-coated wallpaper, the adhesive might not stick properly. 

Because poison ivy and similar plants can cause potentially life-threatening allergic reactions depending on your sensitivity, it's best to hire a professional to remove it. Hiring a local lawn care service or other professional also increases your chances of successful eradication so that you don't have to deal with the issue again several months down the road.

To remove pre-pasted wallpaper, you’ll need to wet the wallpaper or steam it to loosen the paste on the back of the wallpaper. Spray the paper with water, then let it soak for 10 to 20 minutes. From there, you should be able to peel off the wallpaper. Then, you may need to follow up with a cleaning solution and a scraper to remove any remaining wallpaper paste on the walls.

It is possible to remove wallpaper yourself, but it’s typically better to leave the work to a professional. Some types of wallpaper can prove to be a real challenge to remove, and the process is labor intensive regardless, so most homeowners prefer to save themselves time and frustration by hiring a pro. Professional wallpaper companies have special tools like steamers and the experience to use them effectively without damaging the drywall behind it, which can get damaged if it gets too wet. Hiring a pro gets the job done quickly and minimizes the wall prep you’ll need to do afterward.

You can paint over existing wallpaper if you select wallpaper that is designed to be paintable. This type of paper is meant to add texture to walls. Alternatively, if you have old wallpaper you’d like to cover up, you can often paint over that instead of removing it. However, it needs to be smooth, damage-free, and non-textured. Otherwise, any bumps, tears, and texture will show through the paint.
