garage and shop. We chose a product by DaVinci Roofscapes that creates the look of slate but is meant to perform better in our winter climates. It took longer than was initially anticipated but during this time Joe struggled with one of the crews providing the quality he, and us, expected and a second crew was brought in to complete the job. Even so, the slope and size of the roof coupled with the complexity of installing these shingles (compared to asphalt shingles) made a quick installation impossible.
After all this, I am very happy with the roof. It looks fantastic and people invariably comment on it when visiting. Because of that, we asked Joe to cap with aluminum our existing wood window trims, replace the decorative shingles in the gables, and recreate our wooden shutters to totally finish our new look. He found exactly what I was looking for and we went forward. The shingle installation went according to plan and was installed well and in a timely fashion. The capping we had some difficulty with the contractor who subcontracted out to another couple of guys and this complicated the completion due to a previous back injury of one of the guys, but I kept Joe informed of the progress and he in turn kept in touch with the contractor he had hired initially. After a few days, the original contractor stepped up to complete the job and all was well. J
oe has been an excellent and dedicated champion of quality, ensuring his client’s needs are met and sincerely listening to every concern and question. He does make you feel that you are his only customer or his best customer and that goes a long way, especially during a tough and long renovation such as this. Now that it’s all over, I am very satisfied with the finished look and would even go so far as to say I’d do it again if I had another house (but I don’t, phew!)
