I could not recommend Joe more highly. First, my qualifications. I have worked in the building trades and spent the last last 17 years of my working life in facility management and construction quality control and contracting. I solicited three bids of which two were large local companies. Of the two larger companies, one never bothered to go on my roof, but included replacement of decking in the proposal; because from the ground, he could see that, "Decking needed to be replaced." The other larger company did walk my roof, and included replacement of decking because, he, "knew there was a fair amount to be replaced." I've walked a number of roofs, commercial and residential, and in my younger days reroofed personal properties. Having walked my own roof, I didn't feel any soft spots, and knew something could be hidden, but didn't think it would be much. When I received an estimate from Joe, he walked the roof, making a more careful assessment than the other companies, and came to the same conclusion I did, and in the end, no decking needed to be replaced.
I immediately felt confidence in Joe; he was straightforward in his assessment, and left an estimate before leaving. Joe has worked in the industry his entire life and is honest, knowledgeable, and professional. When providing the estimate, he also gave a tutorial on how not to get ripped off, should I decide to go with someone else. Joe and his crew showed up promptly each morning, did the job quickly and professionally, and left the property neat as a pin. His bid was at least $2k under the nearest competitor, using the same materials offered by the larger two companies. My home will be 100 years old next year, and from my experience, I believed my historic home would be better served by Joe, and am confident that it was.
