I wish to express my sincere gratitude to each member of your staff who was involved in my recent siding repair job. As you know, severe winds in our area caused a significant amount of siding to be blown off of our house. From my first call to your office through job estimates to the job completion, each member of your staff with whom I worked was professional and courteous. The crew that performed the first patching job was efficient and meticulous in making sure the temporary repair would secure the house until the final repair could be completed. They reminded me of why I chose Pond Roofing five years ago for my roof replacement. Like the first crew, the siding replacement crew was meticulous and took the time to make sure that quality and attention to detail were carried out throughout the job. I have and will continue to recommend Pond Roofing to friends and neighbors. Again, my sincerest thanks to everyone I worked with on my recent job.

Timeliness very much appreciated. A couple of neighbors will be needing new roofs, and I have recommended you.

S. Douds

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.

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.

Colonel A. Hinsdale

I trust Pond Roofing above all other roofing companies for quality and dependability.
