Evansen Builders, LLC

Where to start?? First off, I chose Evansen due to 3 reasons.
1) My son and daughter in-law had their roof done by Doug's guys, and were 100% satisfied.
2) His quoting thoroughness (aerial drawings, all figures laid out) was superior to 2 other roofers I got quotes from. One guy had just walked around the house once and wrote a number on a scrap of paper and handed it to me. Very unprofessional! Doug was always thorough and professional.
3) He answered all my questions completely, and told me what to search for on the Internet to verify his answers. (something I never thought of)

Scheduling: Doug specifically told me that my roof would be put in within a certain time frame DEPENDENT ON WEATHER. He made this clear. Due to some rain and then a cold spell, they got to it about a week later than expected. No problem on my end. Well within my expectations, as he has no control over the weather. Start to finish, 2 days. 1 more day for gutters/downspouts/leaf guards on gutters.

Work crew: Completely competent and very hard working. A well oiled machine. I stopped home and watched them work for a bit on my lunch hour. Very efficient. Large crew. While guys were putting up the roof, other guys were getting all the debris/scrap/old shingles off the ground and into the dumpster. Extremely polite. I had just mentioned that they had some stuff behind my wife's car, and she need to leave in about two hours...they stopped what they were doing and got the materials out of the way IMMEDIATELY.

Finished product: Absolutely beautiful.

Doug himself: Very nice guy. Genuine. Sincere. I know that some people might think “well, he HAS to be like that to stay in business”. He didn't come across like that at all. Never pressured us into anything, like the old “used car salesman” types. Discussed options, budget, add-ons to what we wanted...a very smooth process.

Recommendation: I would recommend Evansen to ANYONE I know, period!

Doug sets himself apart from other contractors because he is personable, intelligent and true to his word. His prices are fair and his crews are reliable and neat- taking care to clean up better than before they started. Every job we have had them complete has been affordable and handled quickly and professionally.

I contacted Doug for a new roof in October. I live about 3 hours away, but was able to pool my job with another customer in the area. Doug came to the house, measured the roof, had the shingles delivered, and his crew came. They did a tear-off, fixing around the vents, flashing work, ice/water storm protection and a new roof in ONE day. At dusk, the blue tarps were gone, the crew was gone, and when I came home from work, they were walking around with their super-magnets searching for any potential nails, as a safety precaution. I didn't have flowers that time of year, but my bushes were all intact, with no limb breakage. I am not a roofing pro. I am just a homeowner, who wanted a nice roof, timely work, and efficiency. I got it all. I didn't know it could be done like this, as my last roof (by another contractor) took one WEEK.

Excellent work. Reasonably priced. Efficient. No mess. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus, and you CAN have it all! :)
