Gator Roofing recently installed a metal roof on our 100 plus year old home. Wonderful company to work with. The roof they tore off was in rough shape being on the home for 25 years. They did a craftsman job on a craftsman style home. I highly recommend!

They replaced our roof in fall of 2016: Wonderful quality and timing of the job and (what is not unfortunately typical) immediate responses on phone calls and emails.
