Yes, we provide free estimates for all projects.

3. How do I get an estimate?
Contact us, either by phone, email, or stopping in at either
showroom. We will have an estimator contact you to schedule and
appointment and discuss the basics of your project. After visiting
your home, the estimator will calculate the job and send a proposal
by mail or email, or delivered to you in person.

4. How long does it take for a proposal to be drawn up after the
initial visit?
Our estimators try to keep turn around time at a minimum,
depending on the extensiveness of the job, a proposal could be
written up by hand and left with you before leaving, or up to a week
to prepare and deliver.
top
5. Do I need to be home for my estimate?
No. Generally, most homeowners prefer to be home when we arrive,
but busy schedules do not always allow them to do so. If you can't
be home, it is best to make sure that you speak with the estimator
and give a thorough description or the work you would like performed
so the proposal you receive reflects the work you want done.
top
6. How do I get on the schedule to have my work done?
After reviewing your proposal, and you agree with it, simply sign
it and return it to us complete with the required deposit of 30%.
Jobs are generally scheduled on a first come first serve basis
unless there are specific requests by the homeowner for special
dates, or delays from manufacturers. Please keep in mind that our
schedule is weather sensitive, some jobs cannot be performed in the
rain, extreme heat, or extreme cold, pinpointing and holding to a
specific date is not always obtainable.

7. Is a deposit required, and if so, how much?
For all contracted jobs we request a 30% deposit. This is to
ensure that the homeowner is committed to the project so we can go
forward with ordering materials custom to your job.
top
8. Do you perform service work?
Yes we service roofs, gutters, and siding. We repair all roofing
types, residential and commercial, shingle, slate, cedar shake,
rubber, and more. We also repair and clean out gutters. We do not
service windows or doors unless they were previously installed by
us.
top
9. Do you provide a warranty on your work?
We provide a 5 year workmanship warranty on all new installation
jobs. This warranty is limited and does not cover maintenance, roof
coatings, repairs, and/or roof inspections. In addition to Smucker's
warranty we will also provide you with any additional manufacturer
warranties when applicable. Some manufacturers offer extended
warranties on their materials that can be purchased above and beyond
the basic coverage; your estimator will take you through all the
options available before you sign your contract.

upon request.

masonry. All contractors we partner with
are also fully insured and reputable.

and can be applied in any dry weather conditions.

the expense of the vehicles. This helps cover costs for vehicle maintenance, auto
insurance, travel time, and fuel.
