We have been dealing with a few leaks for a while now. We had contacted local roofers to help us figure out where the leaks were coming from. The first one got out of his truck and immediately asked my husband about our house insurance. Immediately he sounded like a salesman. He did recommend replacing the flashing around our plumbing and fireplace, and install some more downspouts. We spent $1500 having that done with another local roofer. Of course, that didn't fix it. So, I placed calls out to see about the replacement of the roof. One roofer told me the roof was installed wrong. We had nails popping up everywhere. There was too much weight on the roof. Another roofer basically told us the same thing. All wanting to charge around $10000 for complete tear off and replacement. So, I contacted McDowell for a quote. He showed up and listened to the history of our problem. He looked the roof over and said my husband didn't do a bad job, and that he didn't think it was the roof. He looked at our gutters in the area of the leaks. He took a picture of a spot he was concerned with. He told me that he couldn't sell me a new roof. He would love to, but thinks my gutters are the issue. So far he was right. We had a pretty good rain yesterday. Enough that our sump pump had to kick on, and we didn't have one leak in the areas of our issues. This man is an honest man. He could have taken us for $10000 or more. He literally told me he couldn't sell me a roof and have that on his conscience. I highly recommend this company, and when I do need that tear off. I will be calling him back. He earned my respect. Oh, and by the way. He also said we didn't have nails popping up everywhere. read more
