The roof was replaced super fast. One thing I really like was how they spread tarps out to catch the old roofing material. Cleaned up really good.

Great experience overall. They were in and out in 1 day. Luke made the bid, selection, planning and post work process smooth and worked with our insurance carrier. The only issues were they were a bit hard on our landscaping and we did have a bit of a mess in our attic storage space to clean up. No issue, just a head's up that it was going to get messy in there would've been helpful
