I found Carl from C and R roofing from one of those websites that you put in a request for contractors and they contact you. He was one of several to come, meet with me and make a bid. I chose to work with him and his company because of what I could tell was his honesty, integrity, sense of humor and work ethic. And of course his price was totally reasonable.
I needed a completely new roof over my 1600 sq ft home. He helped me choose an appropriate color for my less traditional home color (see pic). His crew worked quickly, cleanly, efficiently and the roof is beautiful.
A few years later my neighbors needed a new roof. I recommend they used C&R. They did and they, too, had a positive experience. While their roof was being completed I got a knock on my door. It was Carl. He wanted to check on 'his' roof. Could he hop up there real quick and walk around to make sure it was still perfect?
When he came down he was disappointed in me. Ha. I had let a tree grow too close to the edge of the roof and it was starting to push at the shingles. He let me know to trim and stay on top of that tree or it would really ruin his hard work . That, folks, is ownership. Ownership and pride in your work. It says a everything about him. I removed the tree.
A few years later I called them back out for a patch as I replaced an old air conditioner on the roof and there were old shingles and exposed wood. He came right out. He fixed my issues and showed me some issues with the AC tie down.
Carl is the real deal. He is a man with integrity. He is honest, reliable, he believes in the craft he is doing and backs up his work. He checked on it for Pete's sake and scolded me (jokingly, but really, he was right) for what could have been future repair work for him.
Note: The website blows. None of the links work. Call the man. Or email him.
