What do recent reviews say?

Conor and his team earn consistently high marks for repairs to Marley, slate, and specialty tile roofs-a niche service most roofers won't touch. Reviewers praise their detailed diagnostics with photos, skilled execution on high-pitch roofs, and spotless cleanup; several mention named crew members and warranty coverage. The drawback is price point and occasional delays reaching them initially, though one customer reported unresolved follow-up on peeling valleys months after completion.

Praised for
  • specialised tile and slate roof expertise
  • professional crew (Conor, Mitchell, Roni, Rob, Harley named)
  • thorough documentation (before/after photos, detailed estimates)
  • punctual service and quick quotes
  • honest diagnostics and fair problem assessment
Watch-outs
  • slow responsiveness during follow-up issues
  • premium pricing
  • initial contact difficult
