Mes Contracting

I was refered to Southern Specialty Contractor by a gutter replacement firm I had hired. I needed the gutters replaced because I was waterproofing the basement, which had previously flooded before I owned the house. Scott asked if I had the roof inspected, and since my home inspector had only done it from the ground suggested I have Rod come and take a look. Good thing I did. Rod came out the next day and discovered extensive hail pitting from 2013 that the prior owner had not repaired. Rod gave me a very reasonable quote and said he could meet my timeline. His crew was scheduled for the first day I had funds to pay him. Roofing material was dropped at my house a few days prior. Communication was great throughout. His crew arrived promptly pre-dawn to start setup and worked until after sunset to finish in one day. The entire crew was polite and hardworking. The foreman, Manny, was available for every question I had and accommodated every request cheerfully. For example I told him I never used the antenna and if it was attached to the roof they did not need to put it back up for me. He volunteered to take it down and dispose of it. They also put up a cricket to stop water build up against the chimney. This was not part of the original quote and they did not charge extra. The one area they had to replace a roof board was around the chimney where it was damaged from previous water intrusion. I could not be happier with the results or the work done by the roofing crew.

First, I never write reviews. I always read them, but never write them. Secondly, I have had several service companies/people work at my home. I have never been compelled to write a review about them (because it would not have been positive). However, working with Rod Holbrook of Southern Specialty has been an extremely positive experience. I had a complete exterior remodel (roof, gutters, paint, chimney demo and remodel, window/door replacement, and front entryway remodel). The pricing was incredibly reasonable. The workmanship was impeccable. He and his team were always conscientious, creative, competent, and communicative. He started my project ON TIME and finished only one day after his estimation. The extra day was completely on me. I added additional projects. I could not be happier with the work that has been completed at my home. It is exactly- no - BETTER than what I had expected. Again, please see above comments about other services I have had. During THIS entire project with Southern Specialty, I have not once been aggravated, anxious, MAD, or wondering when the work was going to be completed. I have never been happier working with ANY other company. Thank you, Rod and team!!!

Steve and Caroline from Southern Specialty LLC, step in and corrected a problem, by replacing my roof and preforming outstanding work on the inside of the house. After Hurricane Erma my roof was damaged and water leaked inside the house. The rep. from the insurance company came out and gave an estimate that was so far off that it would have only replaced four pack of Singles. Steve and Caroline came and ask if they could resubmit the claim? They gave me their word that if the roof would not be replaced I would not owe anything. Long story short, The estimate went from four packages of shingles to replacing the entire roof, painting four rooms including the ceilings. The workers was quiet but effective. I am very pleased with the outcome of contracting with Southern Specialty, LLC and I would recommend this company for a roof replacement to any and all who needs a roof.

Southern Specialty Contractor LLC, gave me an estimate on my property to install a roof and I agreed to move forward after all parties agreed to a price. I informed the representative Manny that we were on a strict budget and could only afford what we were quoted. He did a complete assessment of the roof and said he thought we would be fine with the price quoted and did not anticipate any additional problems based on his knowledge and expertise. My husband and I decided to move forward because he seemed to be an honest person. We paid half of the invoice and the other half was due at completion. We never got a phone call, text or email stating that they found any additional problems. Unfortunately, when the job was completed they sent an invoice with an additional $1995. I called and told them they made a mistake on the invoice and I was told that they found some additional issues and addressed them without my permission. I have never in my life heard of a company making additional repairs to a property without discussing it with the homeowner. I believe this is a scam. They submitted a lower bid to get the job and inflated it after the work was completed. This man had the nerve to file suit against me for repairs that I didn't approve. I have a feeling that this is how they do business. That is very unprofessional to inflate a price without discussing it with the customer. I will definitely see him in court. Please shop around before you do business with this company. I REFUSE to allow him to scam me. I wish I could give zero stars. He was paid in full per the contract terms but is trying to hustle me. #scamartist

It is rare to find all of the qualities that make a good business come together in one place. Southern Specialty Contractor has them all, making them the best company I have dealt with in my 50+ years. They respect the value of their customer's time, a rarity these days. They are more than polite and professional, they are kind. The level of communication is unparalleled. The quality of their materials, outstanding. The workmanship of their employees and subcontractors, superb. The cost was reasonable, especially considering the cost of goods these days. I am extremely happy with my new roof and will most definitely hire Southern Specialty Contractor again in the future. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
