Thanks Doctor Steve from the Taylor Town Roof Doctor for our recent repair. A leak was from a bathroom vent and Steve found that the vent cap on the roof was cracked. I accepted a very fair quote to have it and three other vent hoods replaced. The repair was carried out on time and at the quoted price and the patient has recovered! Thanks Roof Doctor we are lucky to have such an efficient
service in our community.

Steve took good care of my roof. He was always polite and professional, even when I wasn't. I would recommend your company to friends, family and strangers. It was 5 weeks instead of 4, they said between 8 and 9am but arrived at 7. This was not a problem but unexpected. Still a job well done.

My husband and I had a very positive experience doing business with the people at The Roof Doctor, in Shelton. We found them to be honest, and easy to work with. The cost was fair, and the crew went over and above to finish in a professional, timely manner. Everything looks great, and we are happy to have someone to call, if we need help.

David and his crew installed a new roof on our property 4 1/2 years ago. We recently ran into a leak issue and David came out and even though it ended up being a very extensive repair he stuck by his word and his warranty of labor and repaired everything. I feel that it was kind of a perfect storm and not really all his responsibility but that didnt stop him and his crew from taking great care of us which means a lot when you live in Southern California and your rental property is in Washington . I would recommend him and his company always.

Called for an estimate and they sent out the work crew instead! Asked AGAIN for a written estimate and it's been about two weeks - haven't received anything from them. Think we'll go somewhere else.
UPDATE - the confusion regarding the written estimate and subsequent warranty/no charge has been resolved. Their work is above average and their workers are very polite and courteous. We are absolutely going to use these people again in the future when we replace the entire roof!

Friendliness of the five young men who finished the job in six hours. Very efficient and very clean. I liked the color riviera of the roofing shingles. They did an excellent cleanup job. They also said they enjoyed their employment.

I am not for or against this business. I only visited one time and had very limited interaction with people. If you need a quote or bid you should contact them directly instead of requesting assistance here. Thanks.

I had a leak where the chimney for my wood stove enters the house. I called the Roof Doctor and the very nice woman working the front desk scheduled David to come out the same day. He took a look and told us the repair was something we could easily do ourselves, and gave us step by step instructions on how to complete it. It was so nice to have an honest, prompt, professional to help us with our roof, and there wasn't even a charge for the service. If we do need repairs in the future, I will definitely call them again!
