We are extremely pleased with our new roof and particularly with all aspects of its installation. Your work crews did meticulous and outstanding work and are to be commended. It was a pleasure to engage in our prior roof discussions and installation with your late father and now to see Pond Roofing standards remain quite noteworthy. There are occasions when a particular individual seems to rise above others in excellence in terms of assistance, knowledge and public relations. It has been a heartwarming and valuable experience to have Patrick Readyhough doing what we consider an extraordinary service for us. The interactions have been highly useful and personally very satisfying. He is to be commended at the highest level.
Pond Roofing has delivered an outstanding service and we feel obligated to express it herein. Thank you very much.

Mr. and Mrs. Culhane

Your field team, which was led by Mr. Minh, was very professional, courteous to my wife and did a great job and left the site spotless. We couldn’t be happier with work and the product and know that the performance of your team is the reason you have been in business for so long with such a good reputation.

L. Scully

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

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

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.

Posted on April 11, 2014 by Betsy Pond
