My tear off/reroof project was quite extensive. With a main house and 5 out buildings my Project Manager, Charles Graydon and crew Leader Abie, had the job done in 2 days. The crew were professional and well coordinated from beginning to end, and tidy! Not a nail or scrap material left behind. My roof is beautiful and my new roof vents make everything perfect. Thank you for a stellar job.

Very fair price compared to other quotes, with good materials. Reroofing was done quickly and professionally with the crew doing a great job of laying tarps down to catch stray material. A thorough inspection of the work was provided by Charles to ensure it was done to my satisfaction. What was quoted is what was charged. Highly recommend.

They did a good job. It did take a long time for them to do the actual roof. They did break a side table and they were going to reimburse me with a $50.00 gift card, haven't seen that yet.

We had a new roof installed in 2013 and were delighted with the work. However, we recently had new gutters installed and found out that there was no flashing. We had to purchase flashing and replace the fascia boards. Our advice is to make sure the job is done right. Never assume it is no matter how reputable they seem to be.

I love working with them. Their workers are all so friendly and theyve been happy to help me and help me quickly. They came out for an emergency repair around my chimney and it was a quick and easy fix. Even though it was after hours, they didnt even bill me for it since it was so simple. Charles sounds like a great boss and Ive worked with him directly too. Estimates are fair and accurate. The office is also friendly and helpful. Just all around great people.

After contacting several roofing companies over a few years, I knew instantly that The Roof Doctor was the company to hire. They indulged all my questions and were honest, timely & extremely efficient. From our initial contact to completion they were professional, not pushy and didn't try to sell me more than I needed or was looking for. I highly recommend!
