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.

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.

Excellent workmanship. Courteous and patient with my many questions. Excellent clean up. You were recommended to me 20 years ago. I keep coming back.

Dr. F. D’Aquila

Excellent workmanship. We feel your employees did a good job and had a very good attitude – especially the young man who did the back flat roof and the final cleanup. As you know, I used you and your service once before – about 30 years ago.

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.

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
