Needed a crane to hoist an airplane after an intentional wheels up landing. Worked with Paul to schedule the lift on short notice - he was professional and helpful, and arranged the right equipment, communicating in real-time to ensure everything went smoothly. Josh, the crane operator was outstanding! Professional, skilled, and helpful, he made the entire evolution safe and stress-free. I highly recommend the team at ET Gresham if you have a high value crane lift requirement!

I’ve been climbing trees for 10 years and usually Pete is our go-to operator (he’s great)! But yesterday chuck showed up with a 110 and did an AWESOME JOB! I’ve never felt so comfortable in the tree with an operator reaching that high that far. Everything was so smooth AND he gave me a 2-way radio which no other operator has ever done for me. Chuck is a great communicator and extremely easy to talk to, he’s just a good guy! I’d give him 6 stars but I’m limited at 5. Y’all need to give him a raise!!!

Was promised a 9:00 am arrival, Randall arrived 10 minutes early. He quickly and safely setup and completed a lift from the roof of CIV and a lift to the roof. Randall was friendly and professional, his truck was clean and organized.

Service questions
1. Should I stay home during roof replacement?

It's not necessary to stay home during roof replacement. Roofing work is noisy and can cause vibrations inside the house, which might be uncomfortable. Most homeowners choose to leave during major parts of the project, but our team ensures safety and keeps you updated, whether you're home or not.

+-

The timeline for a roof replacement typically ranges from one to three days, depending on the size and complexity of the roof, weather conditions, and material type. Larger or more intricate roofs may take a bit longer, but we always aim for efficient, timely completion.

3. How to hire a roofing contractor?
+-

To hire a roofing contractor, start by researching local companies with good reviews and proper licensing. Request quotes from multiple contractors, verify their insurance and certifications, and ask for references. Always ensure you get a written contract that outlines the scope of work, timeline, and payment terms.

4. How to check if a roofing company is legit?
+-

Check if a roofing company is legit by verifying their business license, insurance, and local certifications. Look for memberships in professional associations, read customer reviews, and ask for recent project references. A legitimate company will be transparent and provide all documentation upon request.

5. How to choose a roofing company?
+-

When choosing a roofing company, consider their experience, customer reviews, warranty offerings, and quality of materials. Make sure they provide clear communication, detailed estimates, and a solid portfolio of completed projects. Local expertise is also a major advantage for understanding regional roofing needs.

6. How do you know if your roofing contractor is ripping you off?
+-

Warning signs that your roofing contractor might be ripping you off include vague contracts, pressure to pay large upfront deposits, lack of proper documentation, and unexplained price increases. Always ask for itemized estimates and written guarantees, and avoid contractors who avoid answering your questions directly.
