Customer Feedback:
Excelsior Roofing Co
“I’ve used Excelsior on two different occasions— to refurbish a roof and to do some repair work around the edges. They are professional, arrive on time, and are polite and clean. They have a lot of experience. I’m very happy with their work.”

Customer Feedback:
Cal-Pac Roofing
“We went with the Decra system, and we’re really happy with it. It’s so nice looking, and I’m just delighted that this will be the last roof I ever have to put on. Cal-Pac Roofing did what they said they would do, and finished the project ahead of schedule. I heartily recommend them.”
