Gutter Cleaning Archives - Residential Roofing Services | Fairfax, Arlington, VA

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.

Your company just completed a roofing job on our home in Herndon, Virginia. We don’t have a habit of writing letters to contractors that we have dealt with over the years, but we decided to make an exception. We would like very much to express our sincere appreciation of the quality workmanship of the roofing job completed on our house. Your people both in the office and in the field acted in a most professional manner. It was a real pleasure to have a quality and timely job completed. In the past, we have had to have contractors return to finish the job properly. This contract was an exception and we are very satisfied customers. Again, thank you and your staff for a very rewarding experience. We will tell our neighbors and friends about the professional work of the Pond Roofing Company, and how nice it was to deal with people who are interested in doing a quality job

Mr. and Mrs. Muscaro

Excellent workmanship. We feel your employees did a good job and had a very good attitude – especially the young man who did the back flat roof and the final cleanup. As you know, I used you and your service once before – about 30 years ago.

FYI, please tell Minh’s manager that he did a great job. He was very helpful, very professional and very polite. He represents Pond Roofing very well! You guys have always done a great job for me and I sincerely appreciate it. I have recommended your company on several occasions and will continue to do so.

J. Loria

We wish to commend the employees that were assigned to work on our house. They were most helpful in doing the best job possible. We cannot speak too highly of them and want you to know that they bring credit to your business. We were very pleased and satisfied with the work they performed and thorough clean up of any debris. Thank you for such professional people.
