The Stock Group

We were very happy with Chris (the owner of the Stock Group).  He came out the same day we called to look at the job, and sent an estimate in the next day.  His estimate was far more reasonable than others we received.  More importantly, this is a company that emphasizes sustainable building, so his approach emphasized re-using as much of the slate roof as we could, filling in with recycled/salvaged slate, and being careful to blend everything so as to preserve the look of the original roof.  Chris had great old slate he had salvaged (i.e. rescued from trash bins) from other roofers who had torn down old slate roofs, and it was perfect for our roof.  We were very happy to use recycled slate, and it was far less expensive than buying new!

I had originally called him to discuss replacing the metal awning over our back porch with a tiny green roof  (the awning created  problems with water flooding in storms) but Chris felt the "greenest" (and least expensive) solution was to use what's there and see if we could devise a gutter for the awning.  We had asked other roofers to do this and they said it wasn't possible.  Chris and his team did it in a few hours, and it looks great.

Chris was present every day of the project and was in touch with us throughout.  He came out at the end to inspect the work and spent a few hours touching things up to make sure it was up to his standards.  He's very thorough and personable.  He's also committed to sustainable building and very involved in the local community.  We're very happy with the work.

They came out and I liked what they had to say. I did not get the estimate, so I called them and they were surprised I had not recieved it. I still did not receive the estimate after that.

Met Chris through a friend and had heard about his work in the Mt Airy area. He is truly a passionate guy who has been a leader about eco friend construction for years. If you want a guy devoted to green building you MUST use Chris. He renovated my kitchen, redid my floors with a soy based polyurithane and actually BUILT cabinets using bamboo which was about the price I was paying for mid high end cabinets. He made suggestions during construction that actually saved me 2K! What contractor would do that! Bottom line, if you want a "green" renovation in Philly use the Stock group!!!
