Brad was a pleasure to talk to. He took the time to discuss my roofing problem in detail over the phone and explore all the options available ( repairing the roof vs replacing ). I felt what he charged was very reasonable, more so than the other contractors that I had talked to. Brad was willing to save me money by making repairs and therefore extending the remaining life of the roof, where other contractors were only willing to replace the entire roof. In spite of the reasonable cost I received a quality professional job. I could not be more pleased.

Mike and his son Michael did a fantastic job repairing and painting our sunroom, family room, living room and dining room.
We have an eighty year old home that required massive patching for plaster as well as sheetrock repair. They did a great job fixing all the issues caused by extensive water damage, due to a faulty roof, and the results of their repairs and painting are great. They are dependable, trustworthy, and extremely good at what they do. It is rare to find people who are so conscientious and pleasant to work with.
The cost of the repairs and painting was comparable to another estimate we got.
I do not hesitate to highly recommend them.

I called Easy Siders and Mr Gehret came back out the same day and answered my questions and helped me pick a shingle that would compliment my home. We excepted the estimate and he said they roofer would be there Monday, February 27 and would finish up on Tuesday, February 28th. When I got home from work on Tuesday, the roofer were gone and the installer for the gutters and downspouts were there doing their job.
I had 2 small shelve-like lips that jutted out the sides of my roof which we didn't know were shingled and was not part of the estimate. They capped them in metal instead of using shingles. They did this free of charge.
Roofers cleaned up all their debris and went over my yard, front and back with a magnet to get up nails and any metal left behind.
Gutter installers cleaned up all their debris and was out of there the same day.
My new roof really compliments my home and we are very happy with the all the men who helped. Very professional from start to finish.
They even took the time to assess our chimney and let us know that we needed to have someone come in and do some repairs to it. I called Mr. Gehret and he gave me a referral for someone who does this work. That gentleman will be out next week to give us an estimate.
Price was awesome.
I would definitely give Mr. Gehret and his team and A+ rating and a 100% referral.

I called first thing in morning, and they had someone here same day. He diagnosed problem, had to go get part(which was a cartridge), and fully repaired. I've used them before and they always do a great job and the price is very reasonable.

Horrible. Don't use these guys. I had work done using my home warranty. Unfortunately, these were the only plumbers on their list. They insist on payment up front, then tell you they have to get supplies and disappear for days. Multiple phone calls and lots of lost time later, they finally...

The ice maker in my refrigerator needed repairing. I've never been happy with other appliance repair companies in the area so I decided to give Stickler's a try. I'm glad I did. The repair was done promptly and professionally and the people were friendly and easy to deal with. I wish the...

"I am sure that all positive reviews for this company are fake. Nothing that was promised to me was delivered. My siding project is still ongoing for over 1 month. Was told that it would be done in week. Had one rain day. They have system like this: 1) sales person who never installed anything he will promise you things that obviously are not true, 2) crew that is subcontracted but not Gunner, mine was driving for over 2 hours away, 3) person who oversees the project but has little control over anything, no supply, doesn't know the crew, crew does not listen to him, main office does not listen to him, 4) main office does not reply to you. They just tell me to talk to project manager who has no control.
So you understand that if there are any issue you are on your own. Quality or work is not good. Many times I had to point to the crew what's wrong, planks are broken yet they were still installing it, caulking is done they way that I can do it better, they cut wires to awning etc"

Additional DBAs - Layman's Masonry Estimator, Rod Layman Mason Contractor.
"We have an old 1930's house that needed a large chimney repointed and cap replaced. Rod at Layman Masonry and his team were referred to us by our roofer, Kelvin Howard, for doing good work. We contacted Rod for a quote, and he came out the very next day to quote a price that was good considering the amount of work to be done. Rob and his team are insured and were courteous and friendly throughout the project. They showed up on time and maintained a clean job site. The project consisted of grinding out and replacing the old mortar, a new chimney cap and to put two coats of paint back on the chimney. The project was completed in 4 days despite rain every other day. We were very happy with the work done and will use Rod again in the future."

Chimney Repair questions, answered by experts
Most standing seam metal roofs last between 50 and 80 years. Certain high-end metals like copper or zinc can last up to 100 years if well-maintained. For the best durability, choose a low-gauge (thick) roof in a metal that works with your climate. Some are susceptible to thermal expansion and aren’t the best choice for all climates.
The paint on a metal roof will last for about 10 years (the metal roof itself has a life span of 40 to 70 years). After a decade, the metal roof’s color may be more noticeably faded, and chips and cracks may start to form in the paint.
Inspections should be conducted annually, and minor repairs should be made as needed.
Issues include leaking seams, rusting panels, loose fasteners, and denting from debris or weather, which can cause damage that requires intervention.
The cost to replace the chimney crown or top is about $1,550 on average. The range varies widely depending on the size of the chimney, the materials used, accessibility, and the extent of the damage. If you suspect a problem with your chimney top, call a professional masonry contractor for an inspection.
