We were very lucky on several counts. First, the old roof, at age 18, while sustaining quite a bit of damage did not leak. Probably a testament to the original roofer for Cali Builders who put it on. Guess who that was? Yup.
Second, owner Joe Bisson is a long time local resident here in Mill Creek Bradenton and was here in less than 24hours to patch the two really bad spots. We discussed cost to fix (a few thousand but nothing new would match and the rest of the roof only had a few years of life left). A full replacement quote was in our hands 24 hours later. Made sense to replace rather than repair.
The quote turned out to be LESS than the estimate from our insurance company! Honesty and integrity...
We were given a full rundown of when materials would arrive and what to expect during the project.
Four weeks later work began and was finished in four days.
Joe was here at least three times every day. Personally helped cleanup nails and granular debris until after dark. Took personal pride in his crew's work.
After the roof was completed he noticed a couple of dings in our windowsill and one on the column trim, as well as a tar dot on the wall. He didn't like the old discolored fascia under the drip edge over our front entrance. He and a few guys came back, replaced the fascia (a small extra cost) patched, painted and cleaned up. Looks like new.
This ranks among the best contractor experiences in our lifetime. The price, diligence and quality are unparalleled.
Kudos Joe! You're a gem! read more
