I am thrilled with the way my new roof looks. I would like to compliment the roofer and helper who did the work. They appeared to know their business well, and were pleasant, helpful in answering questions, neat and meticulous in the work done. The gentlemen who led the work effort apparently was experienced and knowledgeable. It certainly is a pleasure doing business with you.

S. Behn

I am not an expert on roofs so I go to people who have served me well in the past and I can trust their reputation. Excellent workmanship. Staff was friendly, polite and professional.

C. Metzger

Never having had a roof replaced before, I was unaware of much of the details and the hard work it took. I was stunned by the amount of debris. But, your crew was amazing. They covered everything – even the fish pond. They kept the bits and pieces off the shrubbery and sidewalk and removed all the mess as they left. They worked steadily with professional dedication. I am impressed by your company, and we should be good for the next 25 years!

Mrs. J. Helbig

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

Since Pond Roofing finished, I have been up on my roof several times. I am very pleased at what a thorough and very careful job was done – not just the shingling but the replacement sheathing, fitting of the drip edges and flashing, vent covers, and so forth. I consider myself lucky and grateful to have gotten your crew. I say this as someone who has built one house from the foundation up with my own hands, and can tell the good from the slip-shod when I hire work done on my current home. The work crew made sure I got to see the old sheathing myself after the tear-off. The cleanup was excellent. I was pleasantly surprised as I was sort of expecting the worst. My house has a lot of bushes, vines and flowers right around it, and they were careful to put down tarps to protect the shrubbery and catch the stuff that fell during the tear-off. I have already recommended you to my boss, and I’ve made sure to pass along your flyers. Your company is well thought of and has a good track record.

ICE DAMS 101

Posted on January 24, 2014 by Betsy Pond

While Icicles look somewhat magical and remind us that winter has arrived, they are in fact an indication that something is wrong in that home. Usually that something is the dreaded ice dam. Let me give you a definition of an ice dam and why it occurs: An ice dam is a block of ice

WHAT ARE NAIL POPS?

Posted on December 3, 2013 by Betsy Pond

When you are inspecting your roof for the winter ahead, look for raised shingles. If you see any, in all probability, it is caused because a nail has popped up and lifted the single. As soon as possible, you should have a professional roofer inspect your roof to make sure it can survive the winter

WOOD REPLACEMENT

Posted on June 28, 2013 by Betsy Pond

One of the most frustrating aspects of replacing a roof is when we find that sheathing is bad and must be replaced. Wood replacement is really the only unknown left in our work orders. We don’t like unknowns any more than our customers. The best case scenario for us is that the sheathing is fine. That
