Outstanding from quote to cleanup. They walked the roof with me, explained exactly what they'd do, and the written estimate matched the final bill to the penny. The new roof looks fantastic and the crew left the yard cleaner than they found it.
After a bad storm we had leaks in two rooms. Southern Star came out fast, tarped it the same day, and had a full replacement scheduled within the week. They handled the details professionally and the workmanship is excellent. Highly recommend.
Professional, punctual, and honest. They didn't oversell us — they told us what we actually needed and delivered exactly that. The magnetic nail sweep at the end gave us real peace of mind with kids and pets. Five stars without hesitation.
