Lots of compliments from neighbors about our roof. Very pleased with the overall finished project. Only a few minor issues which were resolved satisfactorily. Would recommend you inform homeowners of the impending cleanup needed in the area.

James and his team are an incredible asset to our business. We partner well in that when warranty or insurance cleaning is needed we offer a solution you can trust. However when called to do a roof cleaning that just isn't justified it's refreshing to have a reputable roofer to offer to our customers. We can always count on James and his team to do the right thing with the best materials.

We used Fidus for a new roof at our vacation rental property. We had a narrow window to complete the work in between guests. Fidus was very professional, on time and responsive getting the roof done on time. They cleaned up everything in time for our next guests. The quality was also outstanding. Kudos to Ryan, Nate and team at Fidus!

Thank you so much to Ryan P, Walter, and the entire crew at Fidus Roofing. The entire process of having to have a new roof put on was made so much easier thanks to the professionalism and courtesy of the entire staff, and especially the hard working crew doing the install. It was so easy to get an estimate, get all our questions answered, and get exactly the roof we wanted, while also getting some new skylights installed.
The foreman and crew showed up exactly when they promised, the entire process was easy and painless, and the crew did an absolutely phenomenal job at removing the old roof and installing the new roof and skylights. It was done with such a quickness, but also with the highest quality and a great cleanup to ensure a job well done. Can't recommend this company enough, will be rehiring soon to redo our gutters and more house projects.
