Customer Feedback:
General Roofing Company
“I got them out of the Good Service Guide. They do outstanding work. They were the only company to address the specifics of the extra work we wanted done in the bid. They cleaned up every day, the crews were here early, stayed late, and had the work done in 2 days.”

Customer Feedback:
McHale Insulation
“They insulated the entire East and West walls of our home. They were on time, neat, and their prices were fair. They put so many holes in the wall, and now that the job is done you can’t even tell where they were!“

Peninsula
Customer Feedback:
Birkmyer Landscapes
“I have been working with Birkmeyer Landscaping for the last 7 or 8 years, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. They are the best landscaping people that I have worked with. They are accommodating, on time, and their work is always the best. Phil Birkmeyer is just one of the best businessmen that I have ever worked with. We have established a warm friendship as a result of the satisfaction that my wife and I have had with his work. I give him a triple A rating and hope that my reference gets him the work that he deserves.”
