When you are going to spend a lot of money on something like a roof, I have found that it's always best to deal with a local company. Echelon and the owner, John Quirk are local and he lives in my neighborhood.
In my case, "Pennies from heaven" came in the form of hail. Since my roof was more than fifteen years old, I'm not ashamed to admit that I prayed for the hail.
Like mostly everyone in my neighborhood, I had recieved "Free estimates" over the years from door knockers. Since I had actually sold roofing, I had a pretty good idea of what a new roof would cost and was horrified at some of the estimates that I had received. A few estimates were more than twice what Echelon has charged me. That is a testement to the fact that a lot of people have no idea of what things like roofs, windows and rain gutters should actually cost.
Getting back to my roof, the job was completed in one day and included several visits from John and his project manager. They did a great job at protecting my foundation plantings and also did a thorough clean up. Think long and hard about your major expenditures and always choose a local company like Echelon. read more
