"Had three contractors bid the job, chose AIR Roofing above the others. I was very satisfied with the quality of the materials used, the installation crews attention to detail, the price, responsiveness and overall quality of the job."
"They trimmed bushes, trimmed trees, raked up pine needles, mowed, edged and cleaned up everything just as we asked. It is a very large lot and we couldn't be happier with the end result, it looks great. The price was very reasonable, they are hard workers and we are very pleased with their service. We will use them again."
"Did not start when expected due to weather and prior jobs, but contractor and help did come and work. Painting touch ups after work completed took longest. But the sub contractor did excellent job. When I found detail not to my liking, Roca was quick to send foreman out and fix to my satisfaction. I liked that they tried to hire and use Veterans. When chimney liked, they again sent person out quickly and he fixed the problem even though it was not part of the original work. I thought they were fair and good."
