Please accept our thanks for the outstanding job that you and your crew did on our house. From your initial estimate, which I noted was prepared considerably more carefully than others that we received, through final completion, we have been more than satisfied. You were the only contractor that we contacted who made a point of informing us about the availability of designer shingles and the different styles available. Without that information we could never have made the choice that we did, and we would never have been as satisfied as we are with our decision. The Cobra ridge vents also add tremendously to the overall appearance. They are far preferable to the aluminum vents that everyone else quoted without offering an alternative. Your crew was courteous and professional and paid exceptional attention to detail during the installation and all the way through cleanup. They went well beyond what was required. The end result exceeds not only requirements; it exceeds our expectations as well.
