Hear what our
customers are saying...Steve,
We want to take this time to thank you and the crew of DeFrancesco's So. NH
Quality Roofing for the impeccable job they did on replacing our roof.
The time you spent on your first visit to our home to provide us with an
estimate and
to explain in detail the work that would be completed was truely appreciated. We were given a great understanding of the services we
would receive and the quality of
products that would be used.
The DeFrancesco roofing crew should be commended. They were always
professional and extremely pleasant to deal with. At the end of each work
day, we were amazed by the amount of work they had completed and how they
left the area around our home completely free of any type of roof debris.
Their attention to detail is incredible.
We also have to thank you for suggesting the Aged Redwood shingles. They add
a beautiful touch to our home. We never realized how a different color roof
shingle could make such a wonderful difference.
Once again, thank you to you and the Defrancesco crew for the superior work
and professionalism we were given. All your efforts are greatly appreciated.
--Scott and Paula Wilton

Stephen,
I wanted to thank you and your crew for an absolutely great job on the roof
of our 150 year old colonial in East Derry. You guys exceeded my
expectations and am very fortunate to have contracted with such a
professional company.
Our old roof was very worn, probably close to 25-30 years old, with many
shingles
falling apart. It leaked from all the flashing points of the
chimneys and had no proper ventilation. Along with the roofing shingles, we
knew we needed to have the roof sheathed with plywood and all the lead
flashing replaced.
We got quotes from five contractors, including one which did my barn roof
about
seven years ago. Besides you, none made me confident in their quote.
Many used subcontractors, some mentioned possible additional charges and two
wanted a significant portion of their quote paid before they started. In
this economy, I didn't
want to take any chances. I felt that the others had
the possibility not being able to complete the job or have some issue that
would cost me more upon completion. You
on the other hand had everything in
order, including up to date copies of your liability and workman's
compensation insurance policies. You took no short cuts in the
materials
used in my job; top quality shingles, real plywood and galvanized nails.
After presenting your quote, you noticed that the cupolas on our barn were
in bad
shape and you offered to replace them as part of the quote for no
additional fee if I provided new ones. Would have been nice if the guys that
did my barn years earlier noticed that they were not going to last, but they
turned a blind eye until the job was done.
It took your crew of six to eight men over four full days, with the
temperatures about
95 degrees, to complete the job. The quality is
exceptional. The sheathing, protective layer, shingles and flashing were
installed very well. When it became clear that a ridge vent would not be
able to be used due to the post and beam framing of my home, you installed
roof vents and a couple of power blowers at cost.
There were no surprises with you and your crew. They did a great job and
cleaned up after every day.
I can't thank you enough for your professionalism and quality.
Sincerely,
Charlie
Derry, NH 03038

Hi Steve,
I just wanted to thank you and your team for the excellent work you
did on my new roof. The roof looks great and I've had a number of
compliments from the neighbors on the quality of work and the appearance of
the house with the new roof. I was
impressed by how quickly the roof was
completed and the cost was very reasonable as well. Your team was still
working well after 5pm when I came home from work and
they were all very
personable and professional. Thanks again for the great job.
When my family needed to replace our old roof, we shared similar concerns as
others who have gone through the process of finding a good and reliable
contractor.
We worried if our final cost would overrun our roofing estimate, the length
of time needed to complete our job, and what kind of people would actually
be doing the work.
I am happy to say that our worries were completely
unfounded.
The crew that removed our old roof and installed the new one was very
professional, hardworking, well coordinated and extremely polite. From start
to completion, our roof only took two days to install. They did a very
thorough job cleaning up debris at the
end of each work day. They paid
attention to details and did a comprehensive, high quality job installing a
new roof and 6 new skylights, new soffits and resealing the
area around our
chimney.
We were pleased that our cost estimate was so detailed and accurate. There
were no surprises when we paid them at the completion of our job. We really
appreciated the time they took to answer questions and explain the complete
process beforehand.
We HIGHLY recommend DeFrancesco’s Southern NH Quality Roofing. (The Better
Business Bureau of NH gives them an A+.)

Southern New Hampshire Quality Roofing
and General Contracting
Dear Steve,
Thank you for a job well done and in record time. When Fred and I met with
you we were very comfortable with the explanations you gave for the problems
we were
dealing with and the solutions you suggested. We were confident in
your knowledge
and were pleased with the way you presented yourself and your
company. We had 6 estimates and your price was very fair and you were far
more thorough than the
others. Most importantly you were the best informed
and experienced.
In addition, your crew deserves the highest praise. They conducted
themselves in a professional manner throughout the entire process. They
worked in 90+ degree
weather and never wasted a minute. The roof looks very
nice, the shingles are
uniform in position, there are no ripples or anything
other than perfection. The work they did is exceptional. They cleaned up
each day and that also was done thoroughly.
(I still can not believe they
were here only 2 days considering that they had to strip
the sheathing.)
Regarding the energy saving shingles, I can attest that they do make
a
difference. With my old roof, as soon as you put your head into the attic on
a hot day there was no air at all. You could not breathe. With this new roof
I can go into the attic on a 90 degree day and stand up and you could remain
there if you wanted to.
After the completion of the roof and how satisfied we were with the overall
job I am happy that we had your company replace the 2 sections of siding
that had been damaged for years. That was done so perfectly that you can not
tell where the pieces had been replaced. Also, the door that you reframed
looks like it was the original.
I have recommended your company to a few people and will be happy to
continue. You deserve the business and those who choose your company will be
happy they did. I can’t thank you enough. I hate winter, but at least this
year I won’t have to worry
about it.
Please extend my thanks to your crew. You are very fortunate to have such
excellent workers and genuinely nice people to represent you.
Sincerely,
Gail and Fred Melen

Stephen,
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the excellent job your
company did
on our roof. I must say I was impressed from the beginning.
You made it easy to select your organization by providing the most
professional and comprehensive estimate package of any of the other four
vendors we interviewed.
And by the way you were substantially cheaper.
Your crew followed up the estimate by performing everything you said they
would do
in the most difficult conditions. I just couldn’t imagine anyone
working on a roof in the summer heat of July 2010, but they did.
They were careful of our plants and the things on our deck, they cleaned
everything
up, and the work was superb. On top of everything else they were
a pleasure to have around. For the time they were here, I felt like I made
new friends.
We called you based on a neighbor’s recommendation, and I must admit I
thought he was exaggerating. Not so, you exceeded every one of my
expectations. It is good to know that in this day of hurry up and make money
there are still trustworthy people.
Thank you and special thanks to each member of your crew. Please let them
know
how much I appreciated their work.
