We decided to support a local company for our new home. Ford & Son made getting a new roof so easy. They use great products and have even better customer service. The owner, Charlie, is professional, friendly, super knowledgeable on everything roofing. Everything was done in a timely fashion and the crew did a fantastic job cleaning up afterwards, which is something I truly appreciated given some of the horror stories I've heard about other companies. We were very pleased from start to finish. I 100% recommend Ford & Son roofing to anyone looking to get their roof repaired or replaced
