Description of Work: roof & siding repairs

Description of Work: We had been experiencing some minor leaks in our kitchen. Although the roof was thirty years old, we thought repairs might be all that we needed. We were wrong, John jr. took the time to explain some the problems that were not so obvious. He went through the entire plan for a new roof as well as detailing the costs for the work. He also said that if we only wanted to do repairs he would accommodate us as well as standing behind those repairs. We decided to go with the new roof. We could not be happier! From beginning to end, everything that was promised was done. The A-1 crew of about ten men, arrived early on the scheduled day, they were neat, courteous and professional. Our shrubs and lawn were carefully covered or shielded from falling debris. The job was completed in one day as John had told us. The price we paid was the same amount as the estimate.

Description of Work: I had a small leak in fireplace chimney flashing. I added flashing cement, but called A-1 to take a look and assess if something more was needed. They answered the phone promptly on Friday and were at my home on Monday morning. John climbed up & inspected and added a little more of my flashing cement. He said that although he could sell me an expensive chimney reflashing, he thinks my flashing cement repair is all that's needed. I was very impressed by their timeliness, professionalism and honesty. I would recommend them to others.

Description of Work: Pride and professionalism are qualities that too few business's offer effortlessly, with sincerity and pride. From our first contact with John the current owner of this 30 year plus family owned company, who arrived when promised, inspected our roof, atop the roof where others simply made a lap around the house, we were pleased. He explained his assessment, took nothing for granted, did not try to incorporate additional costs as options, on his own. He gave us the opportunity to vent concerns, ask questions and discuss replacement of 2 skylights, with vented units and installation of an attic exhaust fan. His pricing was competitive, his knowledge impressive, and courtesy compared to all others superior. We liked the idea of a family owned and operated business that was local with a long history as pluses. Once we made the decision to go with A-1, our date was set, with the understanding the date would be honored unless weather conditions till that date were impractical. On the day arranged his crew featuring the next generation, his sons, John and Vin, and crew arrived, on time, courtesy again ruled the day. They explained what was to be done, where we should place our vehicles to allow them to do as efficient job as they could. Updates were given regarding their progress, and thier findings once the old roof had been stripped away. I had suspected by sags, I noted, we would need plywood replacement in areas. John stated that you really can't tell till the old roof is off. Well I caught the crew discussing the overall roof base and while surprised to hear that 33 sheets would, in total need replacement. Their goal was in making a solid repair that would stand the test of time. Materials used top grade, Cleanup was thorough and cost was exactly as promised under the terms of our contract. We have other services in mind over the next few years and will John and family, (A-1) will be our first call for estimates. I should note that we had a second layer of tiles placed 10 years ago, the gentleman who repaired the roof then had died. Unable to fufill his warrenty. WIth a family owned company I expect after 30 years they will be here when anf=d if needed.
