After the storms a couple weeks ago, I needed a new roof and reached out to Dad Exteriors. Michael came out and did a Dad Check, which was worth the $295 on its own. He was thorough, walked me through the whole quote so I actually understood what I was paying for. The crew showed up on time, respected my property, and cleaned everything up when they were done. The whole process was easier than I expected. Highly recommend if you need roofing done right.Posted on Google Chloe KeithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

We added a new pergola for the summer and redid our decking. Highly recommend!Posted on Google Suzanne LampertTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dad did good! Michael completed a thorough Dad Check, performed a water test on our block wall, and explained what needed to be done now versus what could wait. We moved forward with the brick package - washing, tuckpointing, caulking, and sealing. We also had an unexpected garage issue pop up while the work was going on and Michael added that into the job with no extra hassle. The house looks great. Communication was easy, the crew was professional, and the process felt straightforward from start to finish. We’re already planning to have them back next year for the roof. Highly recommend.Posted on Google Andrea TsoulogiannisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike and the team at Dad Exteriors were great to work with. When we experienced a leak in our roof/ceiling, they were responsive, knowledgeable, and efficiently resolved the issue. They showed a high degree of professionalism throughout the entire process: they were always on time, they showed care for our home by covering our belongings in plastic to minimize dust, they were easily reachable via phone or text and the office team provided timely, confirming emails regarding the scope and work schedule. Furthermore, we appreciated their transparency and integrity in billing. Even though the plumbing work turned out to be slightly more involved than first anticipated, they did not add any extra fees or charges to the final cost. Dad Exteriors was a pleasure to work with, and we are truly pleased with the final result.Posted on Google Nikki StetzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
