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

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.

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.

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.
