We needed to replace a roof on a house and garage in a hurry to satisfy our insurance co. Guil responded quickly and had his roofer look at the roof on the next non rainy day We received the estimate quickly and I thought it was a good price considering the poor state of the roof. They were able to start quickly and get the job done faster than the estimate.
