From the start, the appointment was handled professionally, and the inspector arrived right on time. He was polite, knowledgeable, and refreshingly honest. After a thorough roof inspection he didn't try to sell me on issues that didn't exist. That level of transparency speaks volumes.
The owner, Brandon, is readily available, happy to answer questions, and guided us through the entire process. The crew came in quickly and were efficient but didn't cut corners. This company stands behind their work in ways cheaper companies did not. This is our second time hiring them.
I received quotes from many other companies and Southern Star had the most competitive price and service. Brandon was very reactive to my questions. The team removed the old roof quickly, protected my house, and the total replacement was done in two days. Spotless cleanup.
