Another nice job – you did our former townhouse. We have recommended you for many years.

Mr. and Mrs. T. Corcoran

As a dedicated do-it-yourselfer who has spent almost 30 years in rebuilding his home, I must confess some apprehension at the thought of a team of professionals invading our handiwork. However, the experience was extremely pleasant, and our association with you will long be remembered as an example of how craftsmen and clients should get along with each other.

The workmanship, in this extremely complicated roof configuration, appears to be thoroughly excellent, and I am confident that the winter snows will find no entryways. Please feel free to use my name as a reference regarding your business reputation, and the roof job itself as an example to show potential customers who may not yet be convinced of your technical competence.

Captain J.T. Shepard

Very well done and completed on time. Very good task masters. They did an excellent job – better than the original. We appreciate your detailed, accurate estimate. It made filing our claim with USAA much easier. We also feel your estimate was very fair.

Mr. Summerford

On 4 November 2008, I had an appointment with a Pond Roofing Consultant, Mr. Shanti Smith, to inspect the roof of my primary residence and to provide an estimate for one or more sky lights.

First, Mr. Smith called several times to confirm the appointment time and location. Second, Mr. Smith arrived promptly at the scheduled time. While these two events seem unimportant, in an age and metropolitan area where timeliness is a lost art, I truly appreciate Mr. Smith’s respect for my time.

Mr. Smith completed a detailed inspection of my home’s roof and completed a minor repair on the spot. Mr. Smith then reviewed options for skylights and provided an estimate.

As a career military officer, I have had the opportunity to live throughout the United States and abroad. As a believer in home ownership, my wife and I always purchase homes at our duty stations and at times have retained the properties as investment opportunities. With homeownership comes preventative maintenance and structure improvement requirements. I can say, without question, that Mr. Smith was the most professional and knowledgeable contractor/consultant that I have had the pleasure to encounter in my 21-years of Service and home ownership following college.

While the cost of the skylight exceeds our current budget for home improvement, I will use Pond Roofing for all future necessary repairs to our home’s roof and gladly refer my friends to Pond Roofing for all of their roofing requirements.

Thank-you again for the professionalism of Pond Roofing and of your employees.

Colonel A. Hinsdale

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.

SO YOU NEED A NEW ROOF…

Posted on July 11, 2014 by Betsy Pond

…and you are daunted by the process. First, buying a new roof is not impulse buying. It is not even close to being a “happy” buy. It is an unpleasant surprise and a bit scary. It is an expense you did not budget in, and you have no idea what this is going to cost.
