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

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

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.

S. Gotthardt

Your crew did a great job just as I thought they would. Everything cleaned up and neatly done. I must tell you, because of the good workmanship, you will be doing my new roof job, on the house and the barn. I wanted to thank you and your crew for the good job.

B. Wiggins

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.

Mr. And Mrs. J. Urban

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.

WINDOW REPLACEMENTS: ALL OR A FEW AT A TIME

Posted on April 11, 2014 by Betsy Pond

If your windows have ceased to do what they are supposed to do (keep you warm and protect your home from rain, wind and storms), take a walk around your house and decide whether your windows need to go. Do your windows enhance your home? What about the noise level? Can you sit and relax
