In late summer 2019, we developed a minor leak in our kitchen ceiling, and suspected (rightly) that it was due to wear and tear, or possibly damage to, the existing roof on our home. While we had the heaviest bout of hail in a thunderstorm in mid-July 2019 that I've ever experienced during my 25+ years of living in Northern Virginia, it never occurred to me that THAT much potential roof damage could result from it.
As fate or luck would have it, A&M Roofing's Willie Grady was the first person I spoke to about a new roof estimate for our home, the first of four different estimates that we eventually got. By far, I felt that Willie's honest and patience guidance resonated with my husband and I, head and shoulders above the rest of the roofing companies and their sales representatives that we dealt with during the estimate phase.
Willie felt strongly that we had a case for hail damage to our roof due to the July 2019 storm, and he was absolutely spot-on in his initial assessment. He worked closely with our insurance company's adjuster, and got all of the "pieces in place" to get our leaky roof replaced as quickly as possible, while shepherding us through the process of choosing roofing materials, colors, etc.
On the day of the actual roof replacement, the roofing crew not only showed up on time, they showed up 30 minutes earlier, and began the job accordingly at 6:45 a.m. -- to their credit, the forecast was for temps approaching 100 degrees in the afternoon, so I'm sure they wanted to get the job done sooner rather than later. Also, while the forecast did NOT include rain, there was (of course) ONE rogue shower that popped up over our neighborhood, the only rain in all of Northern Virginia, about 45 minutes into the process of removing our roof. The roofing crew had about 75% of our old roofing off, down the bare plywood deck, and so acted double-quickly to get the ENTIRE roofing surface covered while the shower passed.
All shower activity was over with after about 30 minutes, and the crew got back to work...and had the rest of the old roof torn off, any plywood deck replacement done, our replacement skylights, AND the new roof put on (along with all extensive clean-up!) by around 1 p.m. in the afternoon. My husband and I were astounded -- even with a 30-45 minute rain delay, this very professional roofing crew got the job done in just over FIVE HOURS.
I cannot say enough GREAT things about our experience with -- nor give a higher recommendation for -- A&M Roofing. Our every touch-point with the company -- Willie Grady, Kevin (the onsite project manager), and most certainly the prompt, professional and courteous roofing crew themselves -- confirmed for us throughout the process that we most certainly made the best choice in opting for A&M Roofing for our our new roof. They should also be on YOUR short list for consideration for all of your roofing needs. read more
