The following are verbatim customer responses from research that American Ratings Corporation conducted between January 2009 and September 2010. Customer last names have been initialized for privacy.
“They were very honest. They gave us some money back when the material didn't cost as much as he thought it was going to.”
–Jason N.
“The quality of the workmanship.”
–Joseph M.
“He did the work on time and it was done well.”
–Lee T.
“They showed up on time, finished when they said they would, and there were no complaints. I was pleased with the roof.”
–Marjorie W.
“I liked the on-time delivery as well the service. The quality of the work on both houses was good.”
–Michael C.
“They have a high quality service and they go the extra mile to help out in doing extra things.”
–Milton S.
“The personal interaction between the customer and the owner, he was very personable and gave good explanations. He discussed the details that went on with the job. As far as the installation goes, I would give him a ten. I would also recommend him. He was right on it, very accommodating, and fair. He was attentive to detail and tried to make as many amends as he could. He sold himself to accommodate us with our different needs. He was very hands-on and he was on the job quite frequently.”
–Rick B.
“The quality was good. We have had no problems with our roof. We've had no leaks nor any water going through our roof. It looks nice. It was all done on time. We were pretty happy with it. Also, we already had gutters. We did not realize that we could continue using those gutters, so we asked for new gutters. When the workman arrived, he realized that we really didn't need new gutters and he told us. That saved us $1800. They had the materials. They could have just installed the gutters. I think he was more concerned about doing a good job for us and I was impressed.”
–Shelley H.
“They put a schedule together and stuck to it. They were very responsive and very open about things they found. They did great work.”

“The owner's honesty, and he followed through with everything. He was amazing.”

“They stuck to the quote they gave us.”
–Don J.

“We liked their work so much that they are coming back out for another job on Monday. He is extremely professional, very positive, and very polite with business conversation. He is also very strong. Watching him throw those shingles on his hip, my husband was impressed by how strong he was. He also did good work on the roof. He explained what he was doing. My husband watched him while he was working. He was very open in explaining what he was doing and he let us watch. He was extremely professional. He is willing to go the extra mile. He is fit and athletic for roofing, so it doesn't seem like he is going to break the roof. Other companies that came out to inspect the roof sent bossy and overweight staff who spoke to us disrespectfully. They forgot that it was our house and that we were the owners of the roof. Ledwin was very professional with his communications.”
–Lynn S.
“I trust Ledwin's expertise. It's that trust factor that has me calling him back. I have used him in the past. One company's bid stated that the roof was in okay condition, but Ledwin's inspection said that it was not in satisfactory condition. He had the details in his inspection report and I felt that he was more accurate and honest. Also, Shadowfax responds in a timely manner.”
–Donna G.
“Ledwin is good at getting back to us quickly. He is also very thorough when I have questions. He just does the job well and he makes the client happy.”
–Jakki H.
“They are easy to reach on the phone and easy to schedule.”
–Joy B.
“Prompt service with the estimate and identifying the root cause of the problem, also, I liked his communication and how he proposed to do the repairs. The job was completed as soon as it stopped raining. I think it was the third day after the inspection when he started the job. As soon as the rain stopped, he was there. He inspected during the rain and he saw the repair that I tried to do. He was good at identifying the root cause and I felt confident that the repair would be done properly. I think I received outstanding service.”
–Kevin G.
“I feel very comfortable because I've been using them for a long time.”
–Lucy W.
“Their thoroughness.”

“The way they communicated with me, they told me in advance what they were going to do to the roof and what repairs were going to be done. They discussed what was going to be done before they did anything. They gave me a report with all that was needed to be done and an estimate to the nickel. The final cost was in the ball park of the estimate and their communication left no surprises. He sat down and talked to me. He was very friendly. His workers were very clean and on time. They finished in the amount of time they said they would and they cleaned up well. It was like nothing happened. I was amazed by the quality of their work. He was very patient with us and he was never in a rush or rushed us with anything. They came at 8:00 AM and left at 5:00 or 6:00 PM. Nothing was left undone. They were pleasant.”
