Mike P says, "James stopped by my house and introduced himself and his company, Crown Roofing. He explained that they had done extensive work as subcontractors, and were now establishing themselves as an independent company. We get a lot of big out of state companies stopping and making pushy sales presentations, and I will usually close the door on them. It is not easy to get me to engage, but James's relaxed approach got my attention.He had stopped because my roof is little long in the tooth. When I mentioned that my chimney needed repointing also, he made an offer I couldn't refuse. They offered to repair my chimney for free, as long as I was willing to let them take and use pictures of the job for advertising purposes. After making sure that they were fully insured and licensed, I signed an agreement for the job. I figured that they would just fix the mortar and be done. They went way above my expectations.They stripped back the shingles, applied waterproofing materials, replaced all of the metal sheathing, repointed the chimney, and replaced the shingles. They even touched up the chimney cap, and patched a separate spot on the roof that was missing a shingle!Finally, they left no trace that they had been there. Well, they did leave one trace- they sent me a step-by-step slideshow of the work that they had done.These are good people, and they do excellent work. I am really glad that I took the chance- it couldn't have turned out better.For those thinking, "of course you are happy, you got the work done for free"- I'm putting my money where my mouth is- I have an appointment with Crown Roofing to go over estimates for having my whole roof done."See more
