I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for all your help in resolving our dispute with our insurance company. i did not know where to turn. I am glad we have met and will refer others to you. When we met, the insurance company sent us a check for $56.60. When you were done, we had over a $13,000 check for our new roof. This has put me and my wife at ease in knowing our roof will not leak on us or our son. Your experience in dealing with the insurance industry, as well as your experience as a contractor, was no doubt the reason you were able to get us a just and fair settlement with our insurance company. I know you are still working to see if we are due any more money, but again I just wanted to say thank you. Please feel free to use me as a referral for any of your potential clients.
