I was lucky to find James and his father. They were very prompt in responding to my initial phone call. They arrived on a Monday and completed a difficult gutter cleaning with ease. They were very pleasant to deal with and talk to. Reasonably priced and professional. I highly recommend them.

If I could give 100 stars I would. One of the nicest people I have ever spoken to. I had a leaking roof. Jim came out quick recognized the issues and got the job done quick and took all of the stress out of needing a roof repair. I am incredibly grateful I have found Jim and his company Forrest Contacting. They will forever be my go to if I have roofing issues. Now, talking with him about having some siding and general contracting repairs done. Total trust in them to help me and get things done right for an incredibly fair price. Best experience I could have ever imagined. If you need roofing or general contracting work done call them, you will not be disappointed. All the stars!!!

They were quick to respond with an estimate. Started the job within a couple of days and did a great job. They also helped repair some minor adjustment items to soffits and roof without charge. I would hire them again in a second. Recommending them to all my neighbors. Price was excellent and they are very nice guys to work with,

When asked, they were very accommodating about helping to dispose trimmed limbs left over from cover installation. As a senior citizen, this extra service was much appreciated.

The young man responded quickly, inspected the roof and removed algae from one section. He repaired another small section. He and his father were very courtesy and left everything as they found it. Based on this experience, I highly recommend them.
