I've used them several times to complete my primary roof and then they had some guys that do gutters. So I had them do that. I've been very pleased with them. My shed has architectural shingles so it wasn't too much. But the house roof was much bigger. It was $6500. I'd give them A's....

"Initial consultation and estimate was great. I had windows installed at a good price, no surprises. Service was okay, I would like to have had work completed a little faster. Quality was less than what I expected. One window protruded into the house and displaced the molding around it and it wasn't caulked. These issues were addressed in a timely fashion, but I am finding a few small things here and there that were missed. I have a couple of screens that won't stay up and some others with gaps, and it's only been 1 week. Hugh and the crew were very nice. My windows look great, but I am kinda wishing I would've chosen another route."
