If you’re short on time and want a one word opinion of Green Improvements, it’s AWESOME!!
For those wanting more details, read on…
First, a little background. Peabody Public Library is a beautiful building in Columbia City, Indiana, which is about 20 minutes west of Ft. Wayne. Located in 14 acres of beautiful natural wetlands, our building is built into a hillside and the roof is visible as our patrons approach, so our concerns included both function and aesthetics.
Green Improvements’ quote stood out because it was very thorough and met the parameters we had set forth, unlike other bids. They covered everything they would do, start to finish, even going so far as to outline how they would keep the area tidy and protect not just our property but that of our patrons as well. When they met with the board, we were all very impressed with their professionalism.
We confidently chose them for the project, and that good decision was reinforced throughout our experience. Ben and Matt are genuine people, working as hard as they possibly could to take advantage of the rare breaks in the crazy rain we experienced at that time. And, when approached with questions from our community, Ben and Matt were very respectful, diplomatic and kind in their responses, representing not only themselves but the Peabody Library very well. That speaks volumes about them.
As I mentioned earlier, there were some concerns about the roof color. We didn’t want dark because it would absorb the summer heat, and, with our brown brick building, we didn’t want white because it would look too stark in contrast. The solution? We went with tan, so it would be more reflective and efficient for cooling, while complementing our building’s aesthetics.
The icing on the cake is the price. We would have easily spent at least three times as much replacing the roof restoring it with Green Improvements saved us over $200k initially, and, with the savings we’ll enjoy in the coming years on our heating bill, that's just the start of the financial advantage of working with Green Improvements.
So, you can see why I chose the word “awesome” to describe our experience. I strongly urge you to make the good decision our board did and hire Green Improvements for your roof restoration. You won’t regret it!
