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.
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.
