Description of Work: I needed to replace my entire roof due to wind damage, so I asked for quotes from various roofing companies in the Tampa Bay area. Unfortunately, most seemed to be run by "good ole boys" who ran their roofing companies out of their kitchens, and were in that line of work because a roofer was the only one who would hire them when they were first learning a trade. In fact, one company representative promised me that he "...wouldn't let the guys pee on the trees in the yard, and would try to keep the cussing to a minimum." | |Much to my surprise and great delight, Shingle Masters was the shining exception. Their representative, Mr. Brock Beauchaine, was the epitome of professionalism. He walked the roof, completing an inspection, consolidated his findings and recommendations, and then came inside and gave me a presentation that was impressive in scope, thorough, and included multiple options on materials and other work that could be performed. He also recommended additional work that he said could save me money on homeowner's insurance because his company included a general contractor who was qualified to do work that would lessen damage due to hurricanes and/or extreme wind conditions. I had a few questions, which he seemed to have anticipated, since he had handouts, and facts and figures, which answered all of them. When I explained that although I was willing to commit to the work, I would like my wife involved (she is the "designer" of the house's appearance, and knows more about color and appearances than I ever will). Mr. Beauchaine said he was more than willing to return at some time when my wife was home, and would give her the same presentation. Several days later, he did exactly that. | |His installation crew arrived at exactly the time he promised, assembled their tools and materials, and at exactly 8:00 am, they marched single-file up the ladder and on to the roof. It took them several days to complete the roof along with the additional work, and the materials needed were exactly what Mr. Beauchaine's written estimate indicated they would be. Before departing, the crew cleaned up the ground and yard areas where the old roofing materials had been thrown, removed all trash, and then went over the grass with a large magnet (which found roofing nails that were hidden in the grass and dirt). I am happy to say that the new roof has improved the appearance of my house significantly, and after one full year of use (and tons of rain from the 2015 rainy season), I have seen no evidence of a leak anywhere. I am also able to confirm that Mr. Beauchaine's promise that my homeowner's insurance would go down in annual cost has been absolutely true, and I am now saving $400 annually, from what I was paying prior to the roofing work done by Shingle Masters. | |I don't normally bother with recommendations for service work done, since I believe most companies do what is expected and meet requirements. Shingle Masters, however, were so professional in their entire approach, and their work was done to such high standards of quality, that I do not hesitate to give them my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION.
