He was very quick to respond and come to look at the job. He gave a verbal estimate and said he would send a written estimate. The next day when I hadn't heard from him, i emailed him a reminder that I was still waiting for his written estimate and gave him my direct email address and I never heard back. So I can't really say much about the quality of their work because they didn't do any!
Description of Work: Gave verbal estimate for roof replacement ($9000.000)

Showed up for initial review and was professional and polite. Said he would be back to measure and let me know very soon. Then nothing. I called back two weeks later. He showed up and measured a week after that. I called again a week later. He called back and basically scolded me for roof fixtures that he didn't like. Told me the old job was subject to leaking. (19 years and counting and completely dry!!!) Grilled me about attic insulation, I have more than code but he wanted to see it. Said he would get me a quote later. That was a month ago, nothing. Work is scheduled to start in September by someone else.
Description of Work: Requested an estimate for roofing replacement.

Another contractor got the job and for less than Friend Construction. I guess they only want big jobs like condo associations, where I had seen their signs.
Description of Work: I spoke with their office and asked for someone to come look at the roof to advise me what I should do and what it would cost. Just by chance, I saw Friend Contruc car pull up across the street and stop. No one came into the house or called. Several days later, I received an estimate in the mail to replace my roof.

They were great. I have seldom seen a crew work so diligently. Tney arrived at 7 AM and didn't leave until after dark two days in a row. They were careful of our landscaping and did an excellent job cleaning up afterward. The price for the work was exactly as quoted even though they did some extra stuff. We couldn't be more satisfied.
Description of Work: Replaced our old shingles, installed ridge vent and drip edge soffit vent, replaced damaged diecking and sealed roof with water tight membrane.

I did have to call back a few times to get them out, but I understand they did have a busy schedule. Once we were ready to lock down a provider, someone was out to our home on time. We received a fantastic bid! The estimator was very attentive and friendly. We did choose him to complete our roofing project, to be completed in May.
Description of Work: I contacted them regarding an upcoming roofing project.

My roof needed replacement, so I asked around in our neighborhood for suggestions. Eric from Friend Construction was highly recommended, so I called & he came out and gave us a detailed estimate to do the work. I was unsure about what color shingles would look best, so Eric actually put several samples on the roof & also gave me some addresses to drive past to see the various colors & also the quality of his workmanship. I told Eric that I am very particular and that I really wanted to use someone who would take the time (and pride) in doing an exceptionally good & careful job. He had me make a list of all questions and details that were important to me and he was careful to live up to all of them. I have already asked Friend Construction to do additional work to our home as soon as their schedule allows for it to be done with our crazy Vermont weather~
Description of Work: Eric & the other workers removed our old shingles and replaced all drip edge & shingles. They even took the time to remove rotten plywood over dining area since the original people who put on the addition failed to use proper flashing, so Eric & his crew removed all the ruined insulation & repaired the damaged ceiling rafters. Eric was able to find someone to replace our ruined insulation with better insulation on very short notice. This undoubtedly saved us untold headaches and $ down the road! We also had a rotten window frame which Eric repaired with aluminum wrap (or something like that), which looks great & was only $40, including labor! Really, our house looks SO much better!!
