Overall we were happy with McKays, we had them do our roof in May. They were on time and the crew was pleasant and our roof looks good. The only downside is I have literally spent hours picking up roofing nails around our house (lawn, gardens, deck and pool) and our lawn tractor has gotten two flat tires with the roofing nail still in it. Ive also picked up shingles and shingle bits out of gardens and lawn, and theres still plastic wrap from one of the shingle bags stuck in our tree that we cant reach. Overall roof is good but cleanup was subpar, and repairs to our lawn tractor tires has

We're very pleased with the finished results on our new roof (shingle). Kerry brings a lot of professional knowledge and expertise to projects; we thank him and Jake for the care they showed to our home. Heather and Kevin were highly personable and professional in terms of the administrative aspects of the project, and promptly addressed all of our questions or concerns.

I would like to pass along my sincere thanks for a job well done. Kerry, and the entire team he brought over, were excellent. I work with trades people on a regular basis and I was very impressed with the knowledge, good spirit, and professional approach each of your people showed while they were here working on our little project. To top it all of they didnt leave any cleanup for me to do, which I was impressed by. Great work!
