When I first called, I told Fred that I had an estimate from another vendor, who said our century-old chimneys were unsafe to use and must be immediately replaced. Fred said he was tired of unscrupulous contractors scaring people into unnecessary and expensive repairs. Twenty-five years of safe experience have now borne him out. Now Fred has been succeeded by his son Eric, who is just as knowledgeable and practical. The sweepers they send out have always been most courteous, and cleaned up after themselves very thoroughly. High marks all around.

I noticed that Kevin Phillips Roofing responds quickly on Yelp, and had great reviews. Sure enough, after contacting him, he messaged me in about five minutes. He came out the next day, and replaced all of the gaskets around the roofing vents. He showed me a before and after picture of the gaskets. He surmised that a squirrel could have chewed into the gasket, trying to get into our house. I think that he is right, because other neighbors have squirrels in their attic. He is a nice guy, very professional, timely in his response and does not cost you an arm and a leg. I would hire him again in the future!

These things might seem trivial but when dealing with any kind of contractor today, these are rare traits. I will definitely call Kevin for any future roofing jobs.

After he did the first window you couldn't even tell where the shutter ended and the molding started; it matched perfectly!
