My mother always told me if I couldn't say anything good about someone, then don't say anything.

Mr. Keith Avery and I got off to a rocky start. I had concerns about what I saw early in the process, which I called him about and documented with photos. He felt I was challenging him and became very defensive. No contractor should never speak to a client the way he spoke to me. In the end he promised the work would be A+ quality. That's all I wanted, the same level of quality I had perceived from the other reveiws. The 2nd day I was a lot happier with what I saw. I gave them their space to work and we didn't talk again until the job was done. It looks good now, overall. The painter did an excellent job. I had hoped for better cleanup of the site, however. There was debris left on the roof and scraped paint and lots of nails and small screws in the yard (I had to buy a large magnet bar and quot;sweeperand quot; to clean them up). I was told the rain would clean off the roof, but I feel it should have been swept off.
When Mr. Avery and I spoke again, we were on better terms.

Mr. Keith Avery came to my house at my request for an estimate. He was friendly and professional. He pointed out some areas that

were potential trouble areas and indicated how he would repair them to prevent the problems in the future. He and his works were prompt, polite, and professional. They completed the work in a timely matter and to my satisfaction. I would use Mr. Avery and his business associates again.

They were great. The outside of our house looks great and the reworked cabinets fit right in with the rest of the kitchen. Keith was able to a quick estimates and they we able to accommodate my schedule for the kitchen remodel. They were pleasant workers to have around and were not intrusive.

I was approached by a contractor canvassing the neighborhood after a hailstorm for possible roof damage. With my insurance his estimate would have cost me about $5000 out of pocket. I had called Avery and Sons separately about replacing rotting columns on the front porch. During his inspection he told me he also replaced roofs and asked if I would like an estimate for that, too. His estimate was much lower and he showed me he was going to use the same materials and would be more responsive if anything was not to my liking. I went with Avery and Sons for price and responsiveness.
Mr Avery was pleasant to work with, flexible to my schedule and had a great roofing crew. We actually enjoyed having them around. They cleaned up meticulously each day, were polite, and left the yard spotless after the job. We are very pleased with the quality of the work, the color of the new roof, and (perhaps best of all) the price which was almost exactly what the insurance paid.
I have never had a roof replaced before, but I cannot imagine a more positive experience. I would highly recommend Avery and Sons for roofing work.
The original reason for my call was to replace old columns. Mr Avery worked with us to select very similar looking fiberglass replacement columns which will never rot. They look as good or better than the original and they even matched the paint exactly.

The repairs that Mr. Avery did was on a house I was preparing to put up for sale. There were multiple things that needed repair and each was addressed to my satisfaction.

Keith and crew did a very good and neat job. He was flexible in dealing with changes that we requested as the project went along. It turned out to be everything we expected. We plan to use him again in the future for any other repair work.

The job over-all was excellent. The crew arrived on the 7th and finished on the 9th. They worked full days from 7:30 am to about 5pm. A reroofing job is messy to say the least. We were very concerned with nails in the back yard due to the close proximity of our pool to the house. Kenny's crew put tarps down to reduce the mess in the grass and to help keep the nails and other debris from the yard. The job went smooth and thank God there was no rain during the three days. They removed the old shingles, re-felted and applied the ice and rain barrier as contracted. The crew was professional and did not ask for anything. As far as mess goes I thought they did a great job keeping it to a minimum. They removed debris daily and use a magnete on the ground when complete. Kenny was attentive and always responded immediately to any questions or concerns throughout the entire job. After the roofing was complete, Kenny came with a final cleanup crew on the 10th. He personally inspected the roof and the grounds and ensured I was happy with the job. Once again they were fast, Clean and professional.The roof looks great and I'm looking forward to many years of worry free rainy days and nights.As stated above I dealt with Kenny Avery exclusively. I highly recommend Avery and Sons and will use them again

When I hired Kenny, he told me that they were extremely busy and they would not get to the job for a couple of weeks. This was cosmetic work so time was not an issue. As promised, they came out to do the job a couple of weeks later. They repaired the wood, inspected the roof area above the problem and repaired torn shingles that were the cause of the problem. The job looks great.Fast, clean and professional.I Highly recommend Avery and Sons, and will be using them again.

.I prefer to get quotes via email and they were relatively ok with correspondence via this medium but we got the quotes and timing set-up via email and phone calls. The work was done as promised and in the time they had estimated. They had a reasonable price and the work done was quite good.

In September of 2011, there was a very intense hail storm at our house with golf-ball sized hail. It damaged our roof at the time, but we didn't realize it until later in the year, when there was a roof leak around the chimney. Our homeowners insurance covered the roof replacement, and we wanted to use someone who was local to our neighborhood. I called Avery and Sons for an estimate, and Keith Avery was very prompt. He helped us out prior to the work being done, by sealing the leak around the chimney, and then refunded the very nominal charge for doing that, when we signed on to get the roof replacement with him. The roofing work was done in a few days in January 2012, although it took about 6 weeks to get it scheduled. Keith supervised the crew doing the work and inspected the final job. The new roof looks terrific and made our house look so much better overall. The crew was very careful to clean up the debris in the yard and picked up any stray roofing nails with a magnet roller. We haven't found any loose ones! This was a big job, and we only had a few days with all of the roofing material and debris to deal with in the front yard. No problems with the roof since then either. They paid a lot of attention to detail work on the roof. I would definitely recommend them for roofing.

Excellent. I was very happy with the work!

I've used them before for another roof. They are excellent.

They were very prompt in even coming to give me an estimate. The only downside was they said they were going to come and they were 3 1/2 hours late. They didn't call to let me know that they were going to be late. Once they came, they did an excellent job. After they left I found a little water leak and they came back the next day to fix it. They were good workers and they were very nice and cooperative. I would use them again.

Went really well. Arrived on time, worked around our schedule. It's great these days to find someone who does good work at fair price. Very trustworthy.

They did a great job, were very fast, knowledgeable, personable and did it all at a price close to $1000 less than the next closest estimate.

The work began with dismantling the chimney box. The workmen had to endure a very steep roof, but were not in any way hampered by that. They were considerate enough to show me and my wife, Nancy, the old chimney box parts and explained the new developments the have come in the industry. At the same time those workmen were working on the chimeny box, another crew, including Mr. Avery were busy removing the rotten fence posts and replacing them with new posts cememted to assure stability. Mr. Avery explained that the posts would need a couple of days for the cement to harden before the sections would be placed back in the fence. The work on the garage ceiling was next. Mr. Avery's empolyee explained his work and showed us the renewed ceiling and the need to wait 24 hours before painting the area. The last work was on the Utility building. Two of mr. Avery's employees quickly but efficiently tore away the corner lumber and replaced it. They, then, installed the outerwall skirts and completed the job by re-painting their work with paint that exactly matched the Utility building's green color. The job completed, Mr. Avery's crew removed all the construction debris.

Simply put, A+++!!! Let's face it, no one wants to read those really looooong reports! But I cannot say enough good things about Avery and Sons. They showed up on time, all the workers were polite and professional, and they did a great job! If you are looking for trustworthy, dependable, hard working people then Avery and Sons is the contractor for you!!! I would definitely use them again and would recommend them to anyone!!

Keith and his crew arrived exactly when he said they would. They removed the access stairs to the attic that had been incorrectly installed. They installed new access stairs and even insulated around the opening which had not been part of the agreed upon work. They also cleaned up after themselves. I have had a lot of repair people in the house in the last six weeks and none of them were as courteous, professional and cleaned up after themselves as Keith's crew did.

This job was on the house we bought just 1 1/2 years ago. 1/3 of our roof had been stripped and redone 2 years before we bought it due a tree falling on it. After owning the home 1 1/2 years, the older part of the roof showed numerous problems (cupping and curling), and began leaking in one area. We had several options available to us as to what to do and after several estimates from the Averys, we decided to have the older part stripped off and reshingled so the entire roof would have one layer of shingles and match in color. We also contracted to have some shingles reworked on the newer part, and 4 additional soffit vents installed for more ventilation. Keith and his crew arrived around 9 and finished the roof around 6:30 that evening. They were working against the threat of rain but didn't sacrifice quality for speed. They did an excellent job, both on the roof and the yard cleanup. The next Monday another crew installed 6 additional soffits instead of 4 at no additional charge, which goes a long way toward giving me some peace of mind that we'll get a few more years out of this roof than we would have. Keith also made a change to the front gutter, which if left as it was, could have caused water to backfeed up under the shingles. Two notes: 1) Neither Keith nor his father Wayne tried to sell us on a particular brand of shingle, as some roofing contractors will do. I requested Dow-Corning shingles as I knew that was what was used on the front part of the roof and Keith verified my color choice by bringing out samples to check against the newer part. 2) I can be quite annoying to work with as I do a great deal of research and thinking prior to any home project as I do not work and consider the house my job. I try to do every project so we will not have to deal with it again and head off any future problems. So I ask any contractors giving us a bid lots of questions to see what they know compared to what my research tells me. If I'm not happy with their knowledge level or even attitude, we won't hire them. Keith was very patient as they gave us 3 estimates at different times plus he is wonderfully generous with his knowledge. I wouldn't hesitate to use Avery and Sons again; I can rest easy with the house now and know a good job was done on the roof.

Showed up on time both for the estimate and again to start work. Did the roof in sections because of threat of rain but weather held off and finished in estimated time. Cleaned up and hauled away all the old materials and no damage to lawn/landscaping. Roof looks fine and no leaks or problems after a month and several rains.

Went very well. Attention to detail was excellent. Cleaned up after they finished.

Mr. Avery and his crew were extremely efficient and very conscious of the weather. This all happened in January and he made sure to time the repairs before the next rainfall so that the damage was not compounded. He did comprehensive work very quickly, and began the job even before receiving my check in the mail. I could not be happier with his service and will be sure to use him in the future for any handyman or general remodeling work.
