We quickly arranged an appointment to go over the work I wanted completed (which included contracting items in addition to the roof repairs). We agreed on a pricing estimate the next day, and the work was completed that week. I am planning to meet with Chris early next week to schedule additional home repair items including siding repairs, minor structural work, storm door replacement."
