CERTIFIED SERVICES
As repeated top service award winners on Angie’s List, Best of the Best, and winner of the Best Roofers in Detroit award, we take service seriously.
WHITE GLOVE INSPECTION
A happy final inspection with the client is our ultimate goal. To ensure a satisfactory final walk-through, we have developed a three phase inspection process for every job.
Phase one – The construction crew cleans up as they complete work, visually inspecting for loose materials, and removing shingles/old materials into a dumpster or coordinating with a removal service.
Phase two – The project manager inspects their own work to ensure a clean and safe worksite.
Phase three – The exterior consultant who first met with the client and sold the project will do a walk-around of the final project to review for customer satisfaction.
FAIR PRICE ASSURANCE
Wanna save $2 million dollars? Don’t we all, right? A recent HOA client of ours showed us the estimate from another roofing company that came in $2 million dollars higher than our estimate. We offer FREE estimates and fair prices.
