Report
All I can say is I'm feeling quite lucky to have found this company. I've lived in Broward County for 15 years. I've found very few people here who can say they had a positive experience with a roofer. Most of the stories I've heard previously were definitely in the scary category. Not this time. JW Roofing was extremely responsive to my needs - which included arriving when promised, reliably assessing the extent of the leak problem, and then performing a quality repair at a reasonable price.
The crew of about 5 exhibited a professional and friendly demeanor which was evidently cultured by the company's owner, Jay. This family owned business is the one you should definitely consider.
