In the past we've agonized over finding a new contractor or handyman who not only did good work but didn't hit us with questionable or surprise charges, but from the time we first found Eric's business profile on Facebook with examples of his gorgeous tile work and had him redo our bathroom floor, we haven't needed to find anyone else. He has redone the tile in both our bathrooms and our shower (looks absolutely amazing and we are SO pleased with it!), installed toilets, bathroom vanities, painted our hallway and bedrooms, and helped us switch out a ceiling fan with a ceiling-flush fixture with multiple lighting settings, and installed a new mailbox (w/post). We gave him a key to go into the house while we were out of town to install a cover plate for an empty outlet box; he fit it in on short notice so the listing photos for our house would look good. Not only has he done great work on everything, but he's a clear and kind communicator. In the past I've had contractors be very short with me and make me feel foolish for asking detailed questions about aspects of the work we're having done (not great for my anxiety), but Eric has always been extremely gracious and patient. He broke down the process of how the tiling job would go when I asked, he's shown me the most efficient way to patch nail holes and use tools properly, and during the first job we hired him for (as I was just getting comfortable with power tools and DIY projects) he took the time to show me how to properly (and safely) replace the blade on my miter saw! To boot, he's good with our large dogs which is a big deal for us having had many fosters and adopted a few rescues of our own. We can't recommend Eric and his work highly enough. Quality, fair prices, good communication, and trustworthy! Once you hire him for a job, you'll never need to look elsewhere for handyman work and tiling.

The team first talked to us, then did a video review of the property pre-purchase, then did a very thorough mock up of some ideas, then met in person to measure and talk more--all this before we hired them! The one aspect of the move that needed zero micromanaging was their work, and it was done with care, precision, respect for our budget and joint vision, and even with our needing 2 days to get the moving truck in place to move in and pause their progress. Great ideas for ceiling fans, flooring choices, new molding, light fixtures, too. There was a great, easy contract to sign, we stuck to the budget and yet, when we needed to expand on 1 particular area of the home that needed adjustments, we worked to find creative solutions that stayed on track and within the slightly expanded budget. They were so upbeat, neat, respectful of the home and space, reliable, and went above and beyond. The end results are gorgeous! We have more yet to do and in a little while when we get settled into place, we will hire them for the next phase. We checked out a few local contractors before hiring these amazing ladies and their team, too, and we are so happy we did. Our home has already increased in value with these added changes and renovations, too-- for reference they filled in a partial wall to enclose a room, built gorgeous custom shelving to create a walk-in closet, worked for solutions to install 2 sets of awesome custom shelving in strangely-shaped closets already in the home, installed new lighting and switches in 3 rooms, replaced outdated molding, installed a pocket door, painted hallways and several rooms and molding, advised and installed or oversaw installs of new flooring and ceiling fans, cut beautiful bench seating and shelving for the new space off the brand new enclosed room, and came up with awesome solutions for helping fuse what was being changed in the home with what already exists here.

Wanted to pass along my great experience obtaining a metal roof from Elmer Cook Construction. First, I would say its important to note this is a family owned and run business and they specialize in installing metal roofs. My initial contact was with Trey to obtain an estimate. His explanation of the process was comprehensive and covered everything from materials to be used, method of install, time required, insurance/wind mitigation paperwork...everything you need to know. Once a window of opportunity opened up Trey contacted me two days before they were ready to start the job. Their 8-man team arrived promptly at 0800L and went straight to work inspecting the condition of the existing roof. There was no wasted movement...by days end drip edges were in place, underlayment installed, battens nailed down and shimmed, skylights curbed in and several sheets of roofing in place. Day 2, 0800L and a crew of 4 was hard at it...by days end the job was complete and the site was thoroughly cleaned up. These guys showed some real craftsmanship during the install...this is not just nailing down row after row of asphalt shingles. I'm quite sure most people would be surprised what goes into this process. After the roof install was completed the Mitigation/Inspection paperwork for my insurance company was promptly provided. Lastly, it's worth mentioning I requested proposals from 4 companies and while Elmer Cook Construction was not the cheapest, they were not the most expensive either. However, they clearly provided the best explanation of what to expect, displayed some serious craftsmanship during install and met all their timelines. If you're really looking to have a metal roof installed Elmer Cook Construction would be your best choice. read more

July 2022 - ELMER COOK CONSTRUCTION THE BEST - NO COMPARISON. I'd gotten estimates from 8 different roofing companies and NONE of them acted like the details mattered, other than what they expected you to pay when finished. It left me feeling like I was taking a shot in the dark, just hoping it'd turn out ok. That is, until a coworker suggested I call Elmer Cook Construction. So I did, and when Trey Cook answered, I knew within the first 30 seconds this'd be the company installing my metal roof. He said they use Prodex radiant barrier on all their roof installations and then went on to explain the entire installation process and answer any questions I had. This was music to my ears as I'd been researching radiant barriers for the past year to combat the enormous blanket of heat in our attic. During summer months I never got a reading of less than 130 degree's during the day on my laser thermometer. Our a/c ran continuously, never getting close to the 70 degree's it's set on, only shutting off in the middle of the night. That all changed this year, July 2022, the day they installed the radiant barrier. I got home at 5 pm, sun's a blazing, with 102 heat index and noticed our a/c wasn't running. I walked to our garage, NOT NEARLY AS HOT. Then put the laser thermometer to work, OUR ATTIC WAS 97 degree's no matter where I zapped. Now it's August and the same great results. Want a family owned company with a sense of conviction care for their customers. There's only one name to call....Elmer Cook Construction!!!! read more

I had a friend recommend a roofer who had just installed a metal roof on her house. After several message and 2 weeks with no return calls, I started researching other options. I looked at ratings through the better business bureau and read reviews from multiple sources. I settled on a three companies to call for bids. Elmer Cook Construction had the best ratings based on my research so they were the first company I called. I left a message and within an hour I received a return call from Trey. He said he could swing by within 1 hour to take measurements and write up a proposal. Trey showed up on time and was very patient with my many questions. He told me he would have a bid to me as soon as he got back to the office. Once again he was true to his word. Within 30 mins I had a bid. I could have shopped around more, but I decided feeling comfortable with my contractor was more important then shopping for best price. I am so glad I settled on this company. From the time I signed the contract to job completion was only 4 days and my roof looks amazing! I cannot express enough how happy I am with their service level, speed and quality of construction. read more

I looked for months for a light weight metal roof that looked like Spanish Barrel tiles. I finally chose the Varitile roof after a long discussion with Elmer Cook and his son Trey. This is not an easy roof to install and I have several places where the old roof leaked due to the roof design and improper flashing that had been done previously. Also I have large beams in the den and master bedroom that lie just under the roof substrate. The crew measured the distances between beams from the inside and not one nail came through- all went into the beams. The Cook's sent an amazing crew out that worked 12 hours a day until it was complete. The finished product was even better than what I imagined. This is a part of a large remodel and my general contractor told me afterward that they fixed all the flashing problems and did a great job in the transition from the old part of the house to the new addition. Trey was on the job site frequently to assess the progress and make adjustments. They are great communicators and the workmanship is stunning. read more

They have a great team at Elmer Cook Construction and Roofing. Last year, I had them install a metal roof on my new construction garage/shop and have been very pleased. So much so, that I have referred them to at least 3 others that have benefited from their services. As further testament to my satisfaction, I recently had them install their metal roofing system on my home. My wife and I are extremely pleased with the results and look forward to the positive impact on our insurance and home's value, as well as the security and long term performance a metal roof provides. Their team communicates well and answered all my questions pre and post-sale. When it came time for install they arrived on time and worked diligently to complete the job in a timely manner. Having had opportunity to observe their performance on both of my projects and those of my friends, I can say their quality, service, and performance is consistently excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend Elmer Cook Construction and Roofing and would definitely use them again. read more

From my first impression of Trey on his initial visit to look at my home to the final completion of the metal roof, Elmer Cook Construction far exceeded any expectations that I had. They know what they are doing! You just know when you've found the Company that you feel comfortable working with. They are very professional, clearly explain their roofing process on the initial visit, are prompt in communicating with you, offer a great price, provide quality work, and have a great crew of hard workers (who didn't always have the weather on their side). Final result is a beautiful roof that will last many years and save you money in the long run. Five stars isn't enough for this company. read more

Elmer Cook Construction was not the best quote, but their fast response to all my guestions, the additional Prodex insulating material, stainless steel screws, and documentation for the insurance company were the factures that made up my mind to go with them. The fact that they are local to FWB for over 40 years was an added plus. They also gave a ten year warranty for workmanship/installation!! No other roofing company would go over five years.

I recently had my roof replaced and these guys did an awesome job!!! The crew was there at 7am and kept working until around 7pm!!! Super hard workers these guys,that's not an easy job. Trey is very easy to work with for quotes and explanation of pricing. He doesn't high pressure to go with his company over others. I noticed he has replaced two other roofs just down my street and they all look great!!! read more

These people were awesome. From the time we made our appointment to the finished product. The crew was very efficient,kept construction debris cleaned up, on time every morning. The roof turned out amazing. I have not been able to find any flaws. I have been looking for two days to find a screw that's out of place, and I can't. Just a great job. read more

A&M Construction

The roof that A&M Construction of NW Fla. Inc. built leaked within a short time. Alex Daugherty…read morereturned more than once to unsuccessfully stop the water intrusion. The subsequent active leak damaged the inner wall. Alex Daugherty refused to honor his work warranty, stating catagorically there was nothing wrong with their workmanship due to the roof being new. Inspections throughout the ensuing insurance claim revealed the workmanship to be sub-par. Another contractor repaired the flawed roofing. Due to Alex Daugherty's unfortunate decisions, I am no longer able to recommend his services.

I can't say enough good things about A&M Roofing and crew !!! I would give more Stars if i was able…read more!!! I Highly recommend A&M Roofing! Family owned and operated and that makes the difference. I had a construction company and worked on many jobs around the U.S having to deal with many different contractors and their crews and that said, I was very impressed with Alex's & Max's crew with A&M roofing. I'm extremely satisfied with their crew who were all nice, respectful and friendly and they all worked great together & were constantly working, no smoking or looking at the cell phones. They even had a crew on the ground that constantly kept up with trash and any stray nails and they completely covered my pool that was close to my home and were careful around my landscaping and flowers. I needed a roof quickly due to a quick sale of the home and the buyer wanting to close in 14 days. I spoke with Alex over the phone and he was able to answerer every question i had, and i always have a bunch and after confirming the great price with Alex and picking the color on Thursday he had the shingles delivered Friday and we were able to arrange his schedule and get me done immediately which in it's self was impressive. They were even willing to come on the weekend to get it done and i told him Tuesday would be fine I wanted to be on site during the job. He was on top of getting the permits done and completed for the sale of the home. Very impressed. The price was great and didn't nickel and dime me. The roof had a sun roof and A&M took it completely out cleaned it up and resealed it completely. i mention this because i have seen "other company's just reroof around them. I told my neighbor and he liked the job A&M did as well and got them to do his roof. He's retired military and likes things done very precisely too. I have a house in Navarre and i'm going to have them do that roof as well. With A&M being family owned you are dealing with the owners and not a bunch of different people, less over head. But with no secretary's or salesmen when you do call A&M roofing you may need to leave a message and Alex will return your call. Differently worth the wait. I was with the crew from start to finish watching the job and rest assure -search no more- A&M is the roofing company you want for your home.

Timberman Roofing

We researched and received several quotes for roof replacement and decided on Timberman Roofing…read morebased on price, interaction, and reviews. The office staff, Augy and Angie, were great to deal with. A team of 12 installers showed up promptly on the scheduled date/time. They were friendly and courteous, and good at what they do! We applauded the teamwork as they completed the roof in one day, and did an outstanding job cleaning up the area afterward. We are very satisfied with the new roof and would recommend Timberman Roofing to friends and families.

We contracted with Timberman Roofing to replace our roof in March 2024. In preparation, we made…read moreappointments with four companies to come out and review what was being requested, address questions we had, and provide a quotation. Only two of the project managers (including Augy Gavenda for Timberman) actually walked the roof to see how bad the current roof was and see if there were any special situations, like a flatter part of our roof that handles a large quantity of runoff coming from a valley in the roof above. We received quotations from the four companies of which one was considerably more expensive than the other three. The remaining three were within $1K of each other. Just to be sure we were comparing apples to apples, we made sure that all of the quotations included similar items such as a water proof barrier, similarly warranted shingles and venting, similarly warranted labor and roof replacement, etc. Where there were differences, we asked for and received clarifications so that we could fairly compare the three quotes. We selected Timberman Roofing to replace our roof. They were the middle quotation of the three, but they had very high online ratings and Augy seemed to be more detail minded to us. He was quick to return our emails and calls. My wife commented about how courteous he was when she contacted him to ask a question. Our search began in November of 2023 and we finally were scheduled to have our roof installed in March of 2024. The crew that Timberman used to replace our roof worked extremely well together. They cleared the old roof and got the new roof installed in roughly two days, including installing some new flashing and siding that the wildlife had made a mess of. Both of my next door neighbor's commented about how hard the crew worked and how coordinated they were to make the job go efficiently. When they were done, they cleared all of the remaining waste and were so meticulous about getting up loose nails that I have only found one since they left. There were some additional costs above the fixed quotation, which we knew could be the case. Because of the age of our roof, a fairly large number of plywood sheets had to be replaced, some joists needed partial reframing, and there were other wood items that had to be replaced. We had figured the actual cost could be as much as 10% over the base quotation and were pleased that the total was slightly less than that. All in all, we are happy that we selected Timberman Roofing to install our new roof. Augy was great to work with throughout the whole process. We highly recommend Timberman to anyone who needs a new roof.
