gutter and gutter guard, people often wonder about the cost, material, warranty, customer service, cleaning, additional work cost(labor\/hour if needed)&#8230; To address these questions, I emailed 8 roofing companies and requested a quote from them. I chose HB roofing because Ricky, the owner, offered me: the next day quote with professional presented file including scope of work, preparation, material, cost, warranty, cleaning, options, payment&#8230; the lowest cost for replacing my roof and gutter with similar material warranty the highest workmanship warranty and the lowest, additional work cost(labor\/hour if needed) After the work was done, I found a small part of the rotten fascia, and a tiny leak in my gutter, I contacted Ricky, and he promptly fixed them without charge. I hope this review will help more contractors like this to grow and serve our community better.
