"I first contacted DeWit Roofing back in the fall of 2014.  I had some water damage on my ceilings and  had other issues with the roof in the past.  Tim came and inspected the roof, measured and provided an estimate.  He suggested that I wait until spring to replace the roof due to the pitch of my roof and the fact he did not feel he could guarantee the roof because the shingles would not have the opportunity to seal due to cooler weather.  He did offer to seal any areas that looked to be troublesome before winter. <br /> Early this spring Tim was in touch and we scheduled a time for my roof to be replaced.  The crew arrived on time, worked quickly, cleaned up after themselves and I was quite pleased with my new roof. <br /> Unfortunately in the process of removing the old shingles my picture window was scratched in several places.  Tim responded quickly to my concerns and after  I researched options for repairing the damage, Tim graciously authorized the full replacement of my picture window.  I was reimbursed promptly for the cost of the window. <br /> I would not hesitate to recommend DeWit for roofing needs. <br />"

"They were incredibly timely...less than 12 hours after quoting they arrived with my new door and did the install. Project was adding a side door to a detached garage. Some of my sill plate had rotted away so they replaced that as well. I'm very pleased with the work they did and their price was very reasonable. Cleanup was thorough too. Will definitely hire again for other projects."
