As a homeowner who is not in the building trades, I sometimes feel at the mercy of what vendors tell me when I have a problem. When I had a roof leak with interior mold and sheet rock damage, as well as exterior stucco cracking, I received conflicting information from different contractors about the repairs needed. Mr. Bookwalter examined the roof, interior, and stucco of my home to recommend a safe and affordable solution. Then he oversaw the contract work to make sure it was done correctly. The peace of mind this gave me was priceless.
