They did an extremely poor job on my elderly parents roof and there has been leak after leak and it took forever for the owner to come out and he wants $1800 more dollars on top of the $10,000 he was already paid to fix his incompetent roofers mistakes. Please choose a more ethical and competent roofer.

Fortners was a pleasure to do business with and thanks their extra efforts we had exactly what we needed in an amazingly short time - tarps on our roof two days after the hurricane and an entire new roof less than 3 weeks after that. They are honest up-front people who do excellent work and deliver everything they promise. We are happy to recommend them.

We had roof and rotting facia board problems from an inadequate roofing job from another company 9 years ago. Mr Fortner was the ONLY contractor of the 3 we contacted that actually got up on our roof to see it for himself. His repair offer was very reasonable. We were astonished how industrious his crew was, even on a murderously hot July day. They did a splendid , thorough job. We would hire them again...eagerly.
