Report
Fantastic service from this company. I called with the issue with my roof and the next day they attended. I was informed of the storm damage and actually shown a video of th roof so I could see for myself. They quoted me a price which included all labour and materials and the job was completed next day. Faultless and good to see good old fashioned customer service is still alive in this day and age.
