Quality and Dependability on Every Roofing Project Since 1996
At Athens Roofing, Inc. We Want You to Call Our References.
We not only provide customer references we also provide references from our banker and our key vendors.
Contractors who only provide 3 or 4 references may not deliver a consistent service. Any contractor can find some satisfied customers. If a contractor is unable or unwilling to provide at least 10 references that should be a RED FLAG.
We encourage you to call as many as you need to feel confident that what we promise is what we deliver. We encourage you to use the simple steps below to check our references and the references of any other contractor you speak to.
