Living overseas, it came as a shock when our property manager e-mailed us saying that our house in Virginia needed a new roof immediately. We were bewildered trying to identify trustworthy and professional contractors, and our property manager suggested Pond Roofing. We checked out the references and made contact with a representative. She was immediately ready to help and directed us to a website which allowed us to visualize the many color and tile choices available. We wanted the best materials and workmanship available so that our new roof would last for the rest of our lives. Pond provided cost estimates for many different materials and options. Once we chose a plan that was right for us, Pond started and finished the work quickly and expertly. The new roof, new gutters and good workmanship impressed quite a few neighbors who requested the name of the company who did the work. I have never written a testimonial about a company before, and I generally don’t believe the testimonials that I see on websites, but I would be happy to tell you individually what a great pleasure it was to work with Pond and how satisfied we are with their professionalism.

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

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.

Office manager is very professional. The staff worked very hard and seemed to work well together. Your supervisor was professional and instilled confidence. He was “just great.” A very good job. We have had two sets of neighbors stop by and ask who did the work. We gave you good marks

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.

BLACK OR WHITE SHINGLES

Posted on June 5, 2013 by Betsy Pond

As roofing contractors, we are frequently asked whether there is an energy difference in shingling with white or black shingles. We advise our customers that, in our opinion, the biggest influence on roof temperature is climate and ventilation. There is no appreciable effect on energy consumption because we live in a moderate climate zone. Attic
