I can strongly recommend American Restoration Specialists as roofers and home painters. I recently contracted them to replace my shingle and foam roofs, restore the fascia boards, exterior window sills, and threshold, and paint the exterior of my home, and they did excellent work.
I quoted this project with 3-4 different vendors for the roofing and painting each, and conducted in-depth site walks with each vendor. Ramone from ARS was by far the most thorough, clearly identifying the problem areas, discussing the appropriate method of replacing or upgrading each element, and displaying significant expertise and enthusiasm for his craft. ARS was not the most affordable vendor I got quotes from, but I had the sense that Ramone and his team would do the best work and have the most commitment to quality out of everyone I spoke to. I was right.
The roof work took longer than forecasted, but that was due to having to expand the scope of work based on what they found under the roof once they removed the shingles, and replacing the majority of the fascia boards. The roofing team’s carpentry skills were very impressive, and the finished product of the new shingles, drip caps, and fascia boards are a significant upgrade to the exterior of the home.
The painting project took a week less than initially forecasted, and the painting team also did great work. That team was led by John from ARS, who is very communicative, respectful, and professional. He was great about letting me know what they’d be doing most days, answering my questions, and cleaning up daily. They did excellent work cleaning the exterior of the home, scraping the existing paint off where necessary, replacing or filling and sanding exterior wooden window sills, re-caulking windows, and sealing and patching the stucco. The home looks so crisp, sharp, and fresh now!
Ramone himself was on-site every few days during the project, and made himself available when I asked to conduct a punch walk as each part of the project was nearing completion. He made sure that both his roofing and painting teams took care of the handful of finishing touches he and I identified in our punch walk. I got to know Ramone a little over the course of the project, and he seems like a good, honest, and dedicated man. I was glad to partner with him and his team at American Restoration Specialists on this project, and have already recommended them to several friends and family members.
