This is the third roof I have put on the roof of my house in my lifetime. And, it was the easiest. Knowing I had a few leaks around my aging air vent pipes and as well cupped shingles, I finally called to get quotes. I examined internet review sources and went with several companies. Kahlo...

"I needed an expert to check out my fireplace issue- soot, air flow, rusty gas pipes. After checking all out (chimney was fine, no sweep needed) he determined a new gas log system was needed- rusty pipes were too gone and the prior installation was backwards! I picked a new set and installed it a few weeks later. Mr Hammond provided expert service, was honestly professional, and super clean. He arrives in a van with the name on the side and uniform-very safe and legit. Conversation was easy as his personality. I have him on my list for other work and already made a referral to another homeowner. (Austin, Texas)"

"Shasha came to inspect the inside fireplace and outside chimney. A cleaning wasn’t necessary so he didn’t recommend it. He let us know about some caulking that needed to be done outside. My husband goes on the roof regularly so he didn’t push that service either. We ended up getting a free inspection. Very thankful to Noble Air for their service call! Will definitely call them again!"
