Blue Nail Roofing & Siding did a great job fixing two of our back windows, crown trim that was constantly popping out and created two custom window screens for the garage….I went to school with the owners so they have my full vote of confidence. Honest, good people.

Couldn’t recommend Blue Nail any higher. They did exactly what they said they’d do! They came to replace our roof two weeks after we hired them. They were right on time and finished the job in one day! They… paid attention to every detail, including the cleanup at the end. There was a mixup in communications with what skylight we wanted (we wanted the one that opened), and Dan found one, drove an hour there and back to make sure we had it on time and they still finished in one day. Very impressed with Bernie (sales rep), Dan and John (the owners) and their crew!

We had work done by the Blue Nail team several years ago. Recently we needed some advice on our roof. They were very responsive and went above and beyond to provide solutions and make sure we were 100 % happy. We are so pleased with our experience. True professionalism and customer loyalty.
