Shear Contractors replaced the roof during the winter without any problems. Finished roof looks good and should add value to the house.
Thomas M.
I overpaid them $1,000 and he made sure I got it back. I didn't even know I made that mistake. They are extremely honest and I am very happy with that.
Willis P.
They are an excellent company, they are very professional and it was a job well done. I am very pleased and I would recommend them to anyone for siding and roofing.
Michael P.
Done in one day; one could not tell that anyone was at the house or any work was performed unless they KNEW the roof was replaced.

Additional Comments - They did a fabulous job. The color of the roof is beautiful. It makes my house really stand out on street. They told me everything they were going to do. They cleaned up the yard really well. They covered everything. They put a container in my driveway. They were in and out. They repaired the roof underneath the shingles. They also repaired the garage. Their price was very fair. It is as competitive as anyone else. The workers were very polite.
