Report
Can't comment on your work skills, but your employees driving your trucks are dangerous. Cut me off driving on I-20, then sped up to keep me from passing, and then slowed down beside an 18wheeler. Very aggressive driving.

Report
We purchased a home that was built in the early 2000's and it included replacement of the roof - The seller of the home used Watts and Associates - No clue how many thousands of nails it takes to put a roof on, but we were bound to find a few in the driveway and on the lawn, we did of course, so we followed up. Overall, the roof looked great, but we also had some questions about one portion of the roof, and with two dogs and two daughters (who all like to walk around barefoot), we asked that they come out, take a look, and rerun their magnet to pickup any additional nails that may have been overlooked
