"I contacted Roof Solutions after we discovered a water coming through an upstairs light fixture. Eric came out and discovered a missing slate and unsealed nail hole along the roof ridge. Rather than just replace the slate and reseal the ridge, Eric proposed a cap along the entire ridge to prevent future occurrence. The finished product is attractive and blends well with the roof."

"<strong>Background</strong> <br /> Our house in Warrenton, VA was built in 1987 and, among other things, in need of new siding, <br /> windows, and some doors.  The original siding was not the greatest (relatively thin and not insulated/foam backed) ? <br /> and had passed its life expectancy (becoming faded and brittle).  The original windows (30 of various sizes) were wood-framed and had also reached their limit on function (sticking, difficult to open and close).  We could feel the air coming in, and although double-paned, were not providing any real insulation.  The house also had some very nice double-wide French doors opening to our back deck and basement.  These doors were also wood (inside and out) and had deteriorated over time and with poor maintenance. <br /> <strong>Selection process</strong> <br /> We decided to do a single large project to replace all of the siding, windows (thirty), and doors (four ? 2 sliding, 1 French, and 1 standard).   After having done some research on windows (various manufacturers, specs, useful features <br /> and metrics) and, over the previous year and a half visiting home shows and showrooms, we began talking to two companies to provide the work.  Both of these companies were recommended to us by friends and neighbors.  We also took a <br /> look at the reviews available on Angie?s List? both companies had A+ ratings.   <br /> In late summer of 2014, we contacted the two companies to begin discussions on their products, services, and pricing.  One of <br /> these companies was Paul Henry?s Windows (who got the contract).  (We?ll call the other company, ?Company X?.)  We spent a good deal of time with both companies over several visits and had a good number of discussions spanning <br /> roughly a month and a half.  The many hours of discussion were at our behest and graciously accommodated by both <br /> companies.  We believe the amount of time spent was well worth it ? both to provide a clear understanding to the <br /> companies of what we required and wanted ? and to fully understand what the companies would provide to us.  <br />  After our initial visit/call with the companies, the first visit from each was at our house ? and lasted more than two hours.  <br /> Company X sent a salesman.  The person we met with from Paul Henry?s Windows was Paul Henry (the owner).  Both the salesman from Company X and Paul Henry were well prepared for the discussion ? bringing necessary materials, <br /> samples of products, product information, and sample contracts and paperwork.  Each answered all our questions to the extent possible, and for that which they did not know at the time, followed up later with the answers/information we wanted. As the owner (vs. a salesman) of the company, Paul Henry was more able to negotiate? make decisions, commitments, and concessions. <br /> Both companies offered quality window products.  In fact, each acknowledged the others products as being of good <br /> quality, while at the same time suggesting reasons why their own product might be a ?little bit better? for our application.  <br /> The siding product offered by Paul Henry?s was superior. <br /> In our effort to compare the two companies, we needed to get to an ?apples-to-apples? comparison.  In other words, we had to do a fair comparison of like products and services.  It took some back and forth to accomplish this, particularly with Company X, as their initial approach to the project was different than Paul Henry?s.  (In fact, Company X?s initial approach was more complex and would not have been cost-effective.)  Once we were able to get to a fair comparison ? the companies were very close in all aspects? products, services, and price.  But ? there were differences and, for our needs, one was better: Paul Henry?s <br /> Windows. <br />  The most difficult decisions we had were selecting the style and color of the siding, trim, and shutters for our house.  Paul <br /> Henry was willing and able to help us with that by giving us ideas, ?rules of thumb?, showing us various color combinations, and even making recommendations.  (Company X?s salesman was very reluctant to provide any assistance in this area.)  Paul Henry?s assistance in this was another reason that lead to our selecting them for the project. <br />   <br /> <strong>The work/performance</strong> <br /> We signed the contract with Paul Henry in the Fall of 2014.  Because of the company?s other projects, we were told that the work on our house could begin some months later ? likely early Spring.  Over the next few months Paul Henry?s kept us up to date on potential start dates.  Based on the size of our project, the company?s availability, and our schedule ? the work began in mid-March/2015.  We were told that project would take 2 and ½ weeks.  It did.  The work was completed on March 31, 2015.  We were told that the crew would arrive each day at 7:00am.  They did? on time, every day.  The team finished up each day <br /> between 4:00pm and 4:30pm.  Before the team left each day, they made sure that any debris was picked up, working areas <br /> swept and cleaned, and tools and materials stored.  Work was done Mondays through Fridays. <br /> The project crew was outstanding.  We met each worker and these were the same people that worked on the project from start to finish.  The crew?s experience spanned from relatively new to many years. Regardless of how much experience a particular person had, they all performed professionally, were polite, and a pleasure to deal with. <br /> The project was lead by Paul Henry?s brother, Brian.  We learned that Brian Henry has decades of experience with this work, a <br /> great deal of expertise, and is extremely knowledgeable.  It was also clear, as we watched the team and the work being done; that Brian provided the leadership and direction one would expect to make sure the project was successful. <br />  Regarding the work itself? it was outstanding.  The work was performed professionally and efficiently with clear purpose in <br /> approach (i.e. knowing what tasks to start when considering everything all that needed to be done).  Great attention was <br /> paid to detail ? from measuring and fit, to cutting and installing, to even wiping down/cleaning the siding once it was installed.  All of the windows were installed properly ? proper fit, sealed, and working as they should.  The siding and trim looks great.  <br /> The doors are well installed ? proper fit, sealed, trimmed properly, and working as they should. <br />  Brian Henry provided answers and solutions to the small items that came up during the project. All of these items were taken care of with no problem or hassle.   (It should be noted that there were very few items that came up during the project, <br /> as substantive and proper preliminary design and planning work was done.) <br /> Included in the project was the installation of new outside lighting (outdoor wall lamps, spot lights, and porch ceiling inserts).  <br /> Paul Henry?s did this work as well.  In addition to the necessary electrical and installation work for this, all the trim for these lamps had been ordered and worked very well.  There were a few fixture items that were needed for which the team was kind enough to pick up and bring to the job. <br /> <strong>Summary</strong> <br /> These days, it is not often that one is completely satisfied with a product or service.  With Paul Henry?s Windows,we were completely satisfied.  From beginning to end? from sales and consultation, to design and planning, to the product and service ? we have no complaints whatsoever.  Although not inexpensive, the value is clearly there. <br /> <strong>We strongly recommend Paul Henry?s Windows for the aforementioned products and services."

"I have a small roof that is in good shape and wanted a professional roofer to reseal around the chimney flashing and replace any missing or damaged shingles prior to sale. <br>Bill not only resealed the flashing but also resealed the other vents and caulked a crack in the chimney mortar.  He carried shingles in several colors with him so the one or two shingles he replaced were a close match to the existing shingles. <br>Additionally, he wrote an assessment of the roof on his invoice that I will be able to use during the sale. <br>Quite a lot more than expected and I will absolutely call him when needed again. <br>"

"Excellent. The initial visit by Joe to inspect the roof went very well. Clear, thorough, precise, friendly, and best of all -- honest. No b.s. or exaggeration or attempt to sell me anything, even assuring me that things I thought might need fixing in fact were fine. The workers themselves were friendly, quick and efficient. They even fixed problems that were unknown when the original price was agreed on and yet did not charge me a cent, even though I offered to pay. The proof will be if the known leaks have been fixed -- I was on the roof myself -- but rarely have I been so impressed with this level of service."

"I was very pleased with AA Roofing which was recommended  by a friend. Mr. <br /> Hammond was prompt, examined the roof and came back with pictures  <br /> showing the leak and damages.  He was very polite and was excellent in <br /> explaining the work that needed to be done. He mailed me a proposal with   <br /> several options to choose from.  <br /> His workers arrived early and again showed me pictures of their work <br /> as it went along. I was very pleased with the job and I received a discount <br /> because they did two jobs at once.  The work was done in a day. <br /> The area was left clean. His employees were very professional and a <br /> pleasure to talk with. <br /> With the final bill, Mr. Hammond sent me copies of the pictures that were taken <br /> before, during and after the work was completed. These are nice to have <br /> for my files.  <br /> I would definitely recommend AA Roofing to anyone and will gladly use them in the future. <br /> <br /> <br />"

"ARHT expertly guided me through the entire roof and gutter install. Since the house required additional tree trimming and soffit repairs they provided suggestions for subcontractors. Overall the house looks better and no more roof leaks!"

"I was satisfied with the roofing and Mr McKay was professional and the roof was completed in a timely manner. I would highly recommend him if you are considering having your roof replaced or repaired."
