We had a great experience with Dave from RoofSmart. After a very damaging hailstorm we decided to call RoofSmart instead of going with one of the many storm chasers. Dave came quickly after our call. He did a profound inspection and came again to go over all the damage with our insurance. He did the paperwork for the insurance claim. RoofSmart installed a new roof and gutters and skylights and arranged for windows to be replaced. All work is done to our great satisfaction. It is a pleasure to work with this company.

We are extremely happy with the work Roofsmart did replacing our roof and gutters. We worked mostly with Daryl who was extremely professional and courteous, explaining the process in working with them and our insurance company. He also made sure to be on site when the insurance adjuster was here. The roofing crew did a great job and after they were finished did an extremely good job on clean-up. Daryl and Dave were there to assist in the clean-up and do a final check. Communication was great throughout the process and we will most certainly use Roofsmart again for any roofing needs we have, it

We received great service and communication throughout the process. The installation crews were likewise professional and courteous. The work was done thoroughly and with great attention to detail. When completed, everything was cleaned up well and our house looked great. We greatly appreciate and highly recommend RoofSmart!
