Laman's Roofing & Gutters did an excellent job replacing a roof for me and also repairing some siding. The communication was rapid and professional before and after the job was done. I have recommended them for friends in addition to hiring them for another job myself. Great work.

Ed and his crew were very good to work with. They kept us involved as the work was being done to assure that our needs were being met. The work was done quickly and professionally. They came with the right tools for the job. The "cherry picker" was essential for the job.

This is the second wall we've had bell brothers build. This one turned out to be more complicated than it appeared at first glance. They did a great job,and the new block wall looks fantastic . Our neighbors had them repair a stone wall. They also did a great job with that

"Terrible company. Possibly a scam. They attempted to sell me a part they didn't even have, and after waiting patiently for OVER A MONTH, I canceled my order. When calling them to confirm, they told me they never had the part to sell to me. What a joke!"
