Good communication during the planning phase and the best value offered by all roofers I checked. On the day the work was completed, the crew was fast and professional, ensuring the home site was left clean when they left.

Customer Reviews
Jack Key
Gary and his team recently did a roof repair job for us. We could not have been more pleased with the outcome as everything was done to perfection. They were courteous and professional, kept the area neat and orderly throughout the process, and performed their work in a timely, but thorough manner. Gary was also very fair in his pricing. I would use him and his company again without hesitation. Good folks!
Robin Barber
Extremely satisfied with the results! The team was efficient and detail oriented. They were very particular with the cleanup. I researched roofing companies before deciding on Gary Kent. Reasonable price!
Kevin Orck
I contacted Gary about an estimate for a job on my house and he came out that afternoon to discuss my needs. He was very friendly and professional and got right to work and prepared an honest estimate with recommendations at a fair and reasonable price. I notified him when other repairs were completed and his crew came out and completed the work to a high standard that next morning. I would use Gary in the future and will recommend his services to others.
Steve Childers
Outstanding service! He provided an accurate quote and was available to start work very soon after we went with his team. They showed up at dawn and got right to work. They were finished within two days; our house is 3,300 sq ft. The best part was the incredible clean up afterwards. I highly recommend him and his team.
