I found these guys to be very efficient and fast in getting my new roof on. Four days to finish what I thought would take longer. Professional company from start to finish.
Margaret BohanHilltop House, Limerick — Complete Roof Replacement
Storm damage left our roof badly damaged. They were out within hours, made it safe, then returned to complete the repair properly. Invaluable help with the insurance claim too.
Tom K.Cork — Emergency Storm Repair
Wanted something that would last on our extension flat roof. The Firestone EPDM system they installed is completely leak-free after three winters. Excellent value.
