Business ProfileforR.J. Severance & Sons, LLC

I met with a half dozen roofing companies before choosing on *** Severance. I learned a lot from the meetings. They all used the same satellite -based computer program to obtain dimensions and a preliminary material list. One prepared the estimate based on this alone. Three made varying degrees of observations from the ground of the roof of my two-story house. Only two walked the roof to identify some of the areas where new sheathing would have to be installed. ***** Severance was one of these two, and he also made several suggestions to improve the roof and gutter system to protect the new roof, which he included in the project. He and ***** Severance are the owners and one of them would be on the site at the start of work each day, during the day when needed and at the end of each day. They are roofers, where the other five fellows who had come to my house were salesmen. Severance's estimate was among the lowest. But ***** and ***** Severance would be part of the project from beginning to end, and they would communicate with us directly as the project progressed. We chose Severance, and we're glad we did.Roofing projects begin with stripping off the existing shingles, papers and thousands of nails. Most roofers push this off the roof onto tarps below, including your bushes, plantings and whatever. RJ Severance has a special vehicle that pulls up near the house where it can and extends a large bin up to the edge of the roof so that most of the debris slides into the bin and not onto the ground. This reduced the amount of debris on the ground tremendously. The crew worked well together and carefully installed each component of the roofing system. Everything fit, lined up and looks good. We have received several compliments on the appearance of the new roof. ***** and ***** Severance are among the most helpful and kindest people in the construction field you will ever meet, which goes a long way to making projects like installing a new roof as painless as possible.
