They were very responsive and appear to have done good work. Was a little more expensive than other quotes but I trusted the thoroughness and believe they'll stand behind their work.

They did a great job with brick tuck-pointing, tho the money was a little on the expensive side.

I needed some help repairing my roof and Henry came and did the job well. He and his crew were willing to help me out, even though they happened to discover the job was larger than expected. He gave me the repair at a very fair rate. I'm grateful to Henry's expertise and professionalism and to his crew.

Henry Forrest explained clearly what needed to be repaired and what did not. He and his workers showed up in a timely manner and were professional and courteous. Their work is stellar and it's quickly apparent that his customers' concerns are his number one priority. We couldn't be more satisfied with the quality, pricing and manner in which he conducts his business. I would definitely recommend Henry to anyone having roofing problems with total confidence that they will be as satisfied as I am.

What impressed me the most about Henry Forrest is that prior roofing contractors immediately began to quote entire or half roof replacement site unseen, as though, since my roof was 19 yrs old justified a replacement. Unlike these contractors Henry Forrest took the time to not only inspect the roof but the areas inside my house where water leakage occurred. Additionally they were competitively priced. My hats off to a reputable business.

Henry Forrest really knows roofs. He found my problems quickly and had his crew was great. They stopped making the shingles on my roof ten years ago but he quickly found substitutes that look fine. The whole job, including replacing some flashing, gaskets and repairing a major leak was done on time.

Henry Forrest and Son were through in their evaluation and explanations of my roofing issues. They provided pictures identifying the problem and told me in common language what needed to be done. The workers were on time, however with the weather issues (rain) the job took a little longer than anticipated. When the jobs were done the Foreman showed me the work that had been done. Answered questions/concerns that I asked about. I would be glad to refer them to friends that need roof or chimney work done.

Henry Forrest is very responsive and his crew showed up as stated. They fixed my dormer and leaky roof very quickly. Also, found mortar, gutter and other problems that could have caused grave damage to my house structure. Highly recommend.

This started as a repair of a long-standing leak, but quickly turned into a comprehensive package of repairs. I was due to go away on business and knew that my house could not be left unattended, nor could sustain the damage of yet another downpour that were all too frequent at the time. When Henry came out to give me an estimate for the essential roof repair, he also noticed areas of concern that other contractors either didn't notice or want to include in the estimate. His eye for detail and wanting to fix the underlying problem (rather than just putting a patch on the symptoms), and being able to perform the work within my time frame sealed the deal. On the first day of the original repair job, it soon became obvious that the condition of the rest of the roof was much worse than previously thought. From previous spot repairs, I knew that the builder had done an inferior installation of the roof on my newly built home. Henry confirmed my worst fears. The original roof wasn't going to last its expected lifespan. We threw out the old contract in favor of a complete roof replacement and other necessary repairs. Henry was able to bring together the materials and an experienced crew to get the job done by the previous deadline. I didn't have to wait the week to 10 days for this to be scheduled. I'm not one that values how quickly a job gets done, but how WELL it gets done, so, the 3 to 4 days that it took to complete the task was fine with me. I'm a "do it right the first time" kind of consumer. Henry's company fits the bill. BTW, this company is a family owned business of, I think, several generations. I don't like dealing with large corporations with several layers... pushy salesmen, estimators, office secretaries and somewhat delayed estimates. With this company, you deal directly with the owners and things move along quickly. There were some issues that I had with the clean-up after the job, such as nails in the lawn and left on the new roof, but Henry responded to these concerns quickly and to my satisfaction. The gutters were blown out so that not even any loose shingle gravel remained and a magnet was used on the lawn to grab up any hiding nails. I tend to be a perfectionist, so, this is more of a reflection on me than the quality of the crew. (This explains why only 4.5 stars instead of 5.0 on work quality.) As to value for the money... this was hard to gauge accurately because each part of the job was not itemized. As I mentioned before, this was a packaged deal with more parts to it than just the new roof itself. Suffice it to say, the urgency of my situation and Henry's response to it lead me to believe that the price was fair and justified (but I left myself a little wiggle room with the 4.5 rating). For people only looking for the cheapest price, remember, "You get what you pay for". From my experience, buying a home from a builder who takes every conceivable shortcut can be very costly somewhere down the road. If you cons

I am very pleased with my new home look thanks to Henry Forest. I had vinyl siding, painting, and miscellaneous repairs done to my home. His genuine desire to do an exceptional job shows when the job is done.

The work quality appears good and they provide a good warranty. However, they start out with a high estimate and if you don't accept, the estimate goes down. They also find other work that needs to be done and charge too much.

After repairing the leaks on our roof, they gave us a written guarantee that our roof will have no problems for the next ten years. They will also inspect our roof once a year and make any needed repairs free of charge. They sprayed our roof tiles with a coating that should keep our tiles from cracking, which has been a problem. Additionally, they took pictures of our roof in order to explain to us what the exact problem was with our roof. This is a father and son company, and they have been in business for a long time. They work all over Arizona and will fix the roof on my mother's house in Tucson. We are in the East Valley.
