The whole experience with this company was very frustrating and disappointing. They initially said the job would be completed in two consecutive days. It actually took several days to complete. We received repeated promises from the owner, Gene Fyvie, that they would be here and they didn't show up. His workers didn't take the necessary precautions to prevent damage to the cedar siding when removing the original roof. And they left a mess on the ground (old shingles, nails, etc.) We called G&S after noticing a large leak above the living room ceiling in early November (we NEVER had a leak with the old roof). G&S showed up a couple of days later and said they would be back that day to fix it. Again, they did not show up for a couple of days. When they did show up, they quickly attempted to 'repair' the leak by caulking the roof rather than fixing the underlying problem in the roof trough. The roof continued to leak. When I called Gene Fyvie, he told me that he had fixed the roof. We ultimately had to hire another roofer to fix that section of the roof. A couple of weeks ago, we noted a massive leak above the garage. (This is not an area that the second roofer touched.) Again, this is a new leak that did not occur when we had the original roof. Finally, G&S workers used lots of profanity (often shouting it from the roof to the workers on the ground). We're still stuck with a leaking roof and would not, under any circumstances, recommend G&S.
Description of Work: G&S replaced our roof in September.

The initial roof repair went well. The subsequent jobs however did not go as well. I have had to have another contractor complete the porch job. This included moving and extending some of the footings. Hire another painter and floor finishing company to complete this portion of the job. The roof next to one of the resided dormers has a leak and I'm still waiting for Gene to come back and complete this repair.
Description of Work: This was actually several jobs starting with a roof repair that went well and ending with an exterior painting job and raising the front porch 6 inches. As part of the painting job the dormers needed new ceder shakes and paint which added more roof work.

HE DID WHAT HE SAID HE WOULD DO. I HAD A FEW OTHER JOBS THAT I NEEDED TO DONE BUT I DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS. IF I WOULD HAVE HAD THE PARTS I AM SURE THAT HE WOULD HAVE DONE THOSE THINGS ALSO.
Description of Work: THEY REMOVED AND REPLACED SHINGLES FOR THE WHOLE ROOF.
