Alex Chow says: „I was a bit apprehensive during my initial search for a roofing contractor to replace my 33-year-old tile roof and gutters since it is one of the more expensive home improvement projects. I went through the usual route of internet review search, Diamond Certified directory, BBB ratings and CertainTeed certified installer list to select 6 companies for a price quote. 2 of them I got absolutely no reply, 1 was 6 to 8 weeks to come out for a quote and the other 3 provided quotes within 2 weeks. Aggy, the owner of PRI Premiere, provided a very detailed roofing report and pricing estimate to me in 3 days. When comparing all the quotes, they all came within 5% of each other. However, PRI’s quote stood out as the most comprehensive which listed out all the material, scope of the job, possible dry rot repair cost, liability & worker’s comp insurance information, etc.
At my final selection process, Aggy came to my house for a site inspection, we discussed some of the additional work I wanted to do including roofing over an open rafter entrance area and adding a huge 4’ x 6’ sky light for illumination. When compared to the other companies, this is when Aggy won me over for the job. With his pleasant demeanor, Aggy patiently listened to all my needs and concerns, gave me professional and honest answers without any hard sell. As a matter of fact, I was so impressed with Aggy, I contracted him to also paint my house after the roofing is completed. As we negotiated on the final cost, he was able help me keep the project within budget and made recommendations that helped beautify my home and gave me the most value.
After I signed the contract, PRI got the permit from the city and started the job in 4 weeks. The PRI roofing crew and the foreman, Jairo, were fantastic. Every day they started the work on time, worked efficiently, kept the noise to a minimum, and cleaned up around the house at the end of the day. Throughout the whole project, we had excellent communication and they kept me informed of the project status. Periodically, I would go up on the roof to check on the progress and I can tell they did a very high-quality job without any short cuts. The thing that impressed me the most is that the roofing crew called a stop to the project after the supplier delivered the roofing shingle material. They were able to tell by the packaging that the shingle delivered were old stock even though they were the correct Certain Teed Presidential TL Solaris. Jairo explained and apologized for the delay as they insisted the supplier to take back the old and re-deliver the new stock. As a homeowner, I would never be able to tell the difference between the two, but PRI acted in my best interest and got me the best material possible. To me that is a testament to the integrity and quality of the company.
After the roofing was completed, PRI painting crew came in to do part 2 of the project. Once again the crew led by Ceasar continued the same timely, efficient, and professional job. From pressure washing the house, surface repair, priming, windows covering to painting and clean up, everything was top notch. A lot of people from my neighborhood, including my contractor neighbors, complemented what a good job PRI have done and the prep that went into the job is the best they have seen. The final step of gutter and gutter guard installation also went very smoothly and added the final touch to the whole project.
After the job completion, the city came back for a final inspection and signed off on the project without any issues. Shortly after, Aggy came back and did a walk through with me to confirm everything was completed to my expectation.
For anyone looking for an honest, professional and reputable roofing and painting company, I will highly recommend PRI as your next contractor...“ Show more
