"Hired to install an outdoor enclosed elevator on 3/29/22. Had to pay a deposit of 50k. Elevator was to be completed in July, 2022. Lied to about every part of the progress including that the plans were waiting to be approved, only to find out they were never even completed let alone turned in. Hired an atty to get my deposit back. Nothing resolved. Jim and Mary Ann asked to a release form. I signed it, and still never received full deposit back. Only received 13k that they deposited on elevator. Do not hire this company. They are not reputable and their word is no good"

Our licensee, Melvin (Gene) Kennedy, has 25 years experience in all aspects of contracting and building. We are the home of the 17 year leak guarantee, which is the highest in the industry. Our employees must go through extensive training, or have provable experience, in every aspect of any position theyre seeking with us. Far from hiring temporary labor or day workers, everyone on our crews is a stable, solid employee who works for us on a regular basis in their field of expertise. It is our desire to achieve 100% customer satisfaction in each and every one of our interactions with our customers.
"I had requested several roofing companies to offer a solution to the old leaking metal ribbed roof over the lanai. Bob Stephens, the Estimator of Kennedy Construction Groups, came out to look at the problem. After his inspection it was determined that the job was not a fit with his company. Even knowing he would not get the job he spent about 45 minutes offering a doable solution, explaining some of the things to be aware of when hiring roofers in FL, gave us a deeper understanding of the use of solar panels on roofs, and some very useful information about government programs to help consumers with the costs of replacing their roofs. He was very professional, knowledgeable & pleasant with a good sense of humor. Kennedy C.G. will be our 1st choice when the time comes to replace the roof on our house, but hopefully that time will not happen for a while."

Aluminum roofing systems provide 40 to 80 years of service when properly installed and maintained. This significantly exceeds asphalt shingles (15 to 30 years) and wood roofing (15 to 25 years).
While premium materials like slate may match or exceed this lifespan, they come with substantially higher weight and installation complexity. The exceptional durability of aluminum makes it particularly cost-effective when analyzed over its complete service life.
Contemporary aluminum roofing installations incorporate several noise-reduction elements that significantly minimize sound transmission. Proper installation includes solid roof decking, quality underlayment, and potentially additional insulation layers. These components work together to absorb vibrations and dampen sound.
Unlike older metal roofing systems that gained a reputation for noise issues, modern installations provide acoustic performance comparable to conventional roofing materials.
In many cases, aluminum roofing can be installed as an overlay on a single layer of existing asphalt shingles, provided they're relatively flat and in acceptable condition. This approach eliminates tear-off expenses and reduces installation time.
However, building codes vary by location, and some situations require the complete removal of existing materials. A professional assessment ensures the installation meets structural requirements and maintains the manufacturer's warranty coverage.
Aluminum roofing systems need minimal routine care compared to many alternatives. Basic maintenance involves occasional inspection for loose fasteners, damaged flashing, or accumulated debris in valleys and gutters. Periodic cleaning to remove dirt buildup helps maintain appearance and reflective properties.
While most maintenance tasks are straightforward, addressing actual damage or deterioration requires professional attention to ensure proper repair techniques.
Lightning strikes target the path of least resistance to ground, usually the highest point in an area, regardless of material composition. Properly installed aluminum roofing includes appropriate grounding systems that safely channel electrical energy away from the structure if struck.
The material itself neither attracts lightning nor increases strike risk compared to other roofing options. Professional installation ensures proper integration with the home's electrical grounding system for maximum safety.
