and gave bid and returned promptly to fix my roof.
Will keep his business card in safe place to use in future and refer him to my friends.
We had also contacted another roofer to get an estimate on a metal roof, but cancelled the appointment when we saw a TV ad from that company proclaiming that "the first 10 callers will get a 40% discount." That sort of an offer immediately raises red flags for us.
All work was done in a timely and professional manner by Ray's crew. There was no damage to flower beds and hedges around the house and all debris, nails, etc., were completely cleaned up. The entire job took 2 days to complete.
We asked for the Angie's List discount and a senior discount ~ basically asking for the lowest price he could offer. Ray came in at $1000 less than the price he had given us about a year ago, so we decided to go with him and didn't bother with getting any more estimates. He was able to begin the job the following day.
Early summer of 2015 I found Ray's name on Angie's List and contacted him to provide an estimate on an investment property I was considering for purchase. He arrived promptly, did his measuring and before leaving I had a written estimate (contract) in hand. Ray's reviews were most impressive, and he also offered a $500 discount on his roof jobs with a minimum of "squares" meaning a regular size house, and not a shed, provided you downloaded his coupon on Angie's List! I decided against purchasing the house, however, by mid summer it was discovered that my sister's rental house (she is an absentee landlord) in Breaux Bridge had a roof leak and she asked me to arrange for a roofer to repair it. Ray immediately came to mind, so I called him with the measurements and he gave me a price over the phone so I booked the job.
I had called several other roofers about the first investment house and some came in higher, and some were very close to Ray's estimate, yet I felt confident in calling only Ray for my sister's house after he had explained to me how he priced his jobs (he has a very precise system) and being consistent with his estimates, there was no guesswork involved, yet that $500 discount put him ahead of the others. I consider that to be very smart marketing, and because he does such a great job, he feels confident that losing that profit will come back to him ten fold with loyal customers (who tell other potential customers, so on and so on). Fast forward, Ray and his crew arrived on a sweltering Saturday morning in the dead heat of July, removed the old roof, found some rotted decking, replaced it, and reroofed the house all in one day. Granted, replacing the rotted decking had to be added to the original price of course, yet it was very reasonable and I had no objection to his adjusted price. I also asked Ray to close some, what appeared to be areas where squirrels or rodents could crawl into, that had been undiscovered until this day, and after a short trip to the local box store, I provided him with the materials and it was taken care of, at no charge for the extra time or labor.
Just today, I met up again with Ray to give me a roof estimate on my home in Erath and again, he left me with his written estimate/contract. After completing a few other projects that must take priority, I'm sure I'll be calling Ray to return to Erath once those are completed!
I would recommend Ray for anyone looking to replace their roof anytime. Ray is quite knowledgeable, experienced, very professional, and most importantly of all, is present the entire time working along with his crew.
