Excellent workmanship. Courteous and patient with my many questions. Excellent clean up. You were recommended to me 20 years ago. I keep coming back.

I would like to compliment all of you that I came in contact with. The receptionist was extremely helpful and patient with all of our questions. Joe was great about calling me to answer questions I had, and certainly very knowledgeable about the whole business. And the three roofers were terrific. They were extremely polite, and very careful with the property. I still can’t figure out how they managed the fantastic clean-up job – my yard looked like it had been vacuumed! We are very pleased with the whole job. I’m just sorry we won’t need another roof for 25 more years. Your people were a real pleasure, and the work was great.

As Washington Checkbook members, we will share our great experience so others know. My only regret is not calling Pond Roofing four years ago when I replaced my roof.

C. Dominque

I would like to commend the crew from Pond Roofing that worked on my house. They were very professional, working extended hours to remove the existing skylights, replacing them with a standard roof. I was particularly impressed with the speed and efficiency with which they removed the skylights above the solar panels. They used an approach that did not require them to walk on the roof or the solar panels. Also, they did not allow any debris to fall on the solar panels. In all areas, they worked as a coordinated team, removing the skylights, installing the two roofs, and removing all the debris. Again, please pass on my appreciation for a job well done to the crew who worked on the house.

We don’t like unknowns any more than our customers. The best case scenario for us is that the sheathing is fine. That

BLACK OR WHITE SHINGLES

Posted on June 5, 2013 by Betsy Pond

As roofing contractors, we are frequently asked whether there is an energy difference in shingling with white or black shingles. We advise our customers that, in our opinion, the biggest influence on roof temperature is climate and ventilation. There is no appreciable effect on energy consumption because we live in a moderate climate zone. Attic
