I have contacted Don Pipkin for many jobs including roofing and he has never failed. His prices are very reasonable and he goes beyond expectations to make sure I am happy with his work. The roofers do excellent work and always clean up afterwards. Don is a pleasure to work with and very professional. Have recommended him to many of my friends for roofing.

Don did a great job repairing the entranceway to the building our office is located in. He was very reasonably priced as well.

Mr. Pipkin is an experienced carpenter & builder, & long-time Va Beach resident. He provided quick, professional, and friendly service in making excellent repairs to my home's exterior - whether some peeling paint on garage trim, or rotted, deteriorated sections of wood soffit or fascia, Mr. Pipkin of Pipkin Home Improvements expertly and professionally repaired & renewed our home's appearance. Virginia Beach's "Housing & Neighborhood Preservation" dept uses our tax dollars to fund their 'inspectors,' who then busy themselves in targeting our well-meaning, & tax-paying residents - many of whom are seniors or handicapped - & citing them in writing about any peeling bit of paint, or piece of bad trim, overgrown grass, a fence out-of-alignment- you name it; & if you can't repair/replace/ fix the item according to their arbitrary, imposed "Deadline" - then you're issued a Summons from Va Beach Police, & dragged to Va Beach Circuit Court, & labeled a "Criminal"! Mr. Pipkin is familiar with this "Polic(e)y" & came to our rescue. The man is a Gem, and honest, and handy - and negotiated a good rate w/us for our repairs -- he also does roofs, I learned. Too bad he can't "fix" some details of Va Beach's rough treatment of private home-owner citizens as Criminals by their "inspectors," whose apparent job is to target innocent people, even as those people are working to fix their home maintenance issues themselves (w/out city interference). In light of the pandemic, supply chain & labor shortages & greatly increased costs of building supplies, my extensive research found & brought Mr. Pipkin to our aid in this predicament, & without ANY help or guidance from the "Housing/Neighbor-hood Preservation" dept. He graciously applied his craftsmanship & skill to make repairs to our house. Mr. Pipkin's humanitarian outlook & charm are a bonus in addition to his craftsmanship & strong work ethic, & his prices are very fair and reasonable. We are pleased to have found him & his company, and know we can count on him for help with our home maintenance needs. Shame on Va Beach for needlessly but intentionally involving our Police and the Circuit Court system in what they term "forced compliance" (according to their 'schedule'!) against private homeowners, branding our residents as Criminals over peeling paint!

I was blessed to find Pipkin Home Improvements in the Yellow Pages a couple of weeks ago. My request for service to repair/replace rotten wood on some soffit & fascia boards was handled timely, professionally, with quality and fair pricing. Mr. Don Pipkin, the owner, was honest in communicating the services his company could provide and proposed a fair & honest estimate.

It is rare these days to find a business that doesn't try to take advantage of customers. I was very impressed and look forward to doing future business with this company and will be referring all of my family and friends as well!

I was extremely pleased with the manner in which Mr. Pipkin completed my addition. I interviewed several contractors and was quite impressed with Mr. Pipkin's expertise, knowledge,and the ability to explain each stage of the renovation process.
He completed the renovation in a timely manner and actually completed the entire job 3 days early! This fact thrilled me since I was having family coming and did not want them staying in a home that was in this midst of construction.
I would highly recommend Pipkin Home Improvements.

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.
