I found this A1A Roofing and Home Improvement via a local magazine. I was shopping around for an estimate to apply a new roof over existing, to install a solar attic fan, to add a new vinyl siding with 1” R-5 value insulation over an existing stucco wall, and to replace all old soffits, fascia boards, gutter trays and gutter guards. I had couple of contractors came over to give estimates. One contractor came very rush without climbing up to roof and gave a very unreasonable price. Second contractor came two separate days oral and written estimate is huge difference. Third contractor is from A1A
Roofing and Home Improvement. He was willing to spend time to explain to me what to do and how to do to avoid future leak with an average price. Last contractor gave me super cheap price by repairing all soffits, fascia boards, gutter trays or gutter guard and unwilling to replace them. I had gutter trays repair and it didn’t help instead it got worst. To me, repair is only good for a temporary solution. Of course, I ended up chose A1A Roofing and Home Improvement. He came again and explaining everything in more details with patience both cons and pros which made me learn a lot and I get to choose color/types of siding, architectural roofing shingles, insulation, and rubber. He also said, “Trust me! I like to spend time on each project with a high quality result.” In addition, he suggested what features I should have when I shop for my solar attic fan. We spent more than 2 hours of talking before we sign a contract with a small down payment. At the same time, I have a strong feeling this is the right contractor I am looking for. The project finished couples day ago. It took him 4 days to finish. Day 1, he did my roof and installed the solar attic fan. When he finished the roof, he took some photos of my new roof. He also did some design to make my roof look better even the spot that I can’t see by standing outside. Day 2 & 3, he did vinyl siding with insulation and shingles in front of my house. Those 2 days, I could see what his was doing. I went out and check his progress every now and then so that I can learn as well. As promised, he did really spend time and to get my project done in detail and precise. He is not the type of person just do as told. While is he working, he is also thinking how to get it better and willing to spend extra time to apply further protections to minimize future potential problems. Day 4, the last day, he replaced all gutters, gutter guards, soffits and fascia boards back of my house. To my surprised, he installed a good heavy duty of gutter guards instead of a normal quality one. He secured all my soffits will screws. He cleaned all vinyl siding follow by caulking my window frames and garage. I would definitely highly recommend this company. He is willing to spend lots of time to explain or even drawing diagram to ensure you are full understanding how he will get the job done. This is what it called a best customer service. He quotes an average price and not the cheapest, but you will guarantee a high quality of work return than quantity. This is also exactly what I am looking for. Now, I am waiting any type of storms (summer and winter) to prove his quality of work that was worth to pay. Job completed in June 2014.
