Customer Reviews
"we had some very old gutter guards replaced. Cowan had been recommended by a friend in Madison, several years ago, so they were our first call. They came out quickly and gave us an estimate, and the work was scheduled much more quickly than we expected. When the crew arrived, they were professional, informative, and even quiet. The work was completed in a few hours. Before they left, they told me that some shingles had been damaged in the course of getting the old gutter guards detached, and said they would be back to fix the roof as soon as they could get the matching shingles. We are elderly and would not have gone up and looked at the roof, and were impressed by their straightforwardness. They did come back quickly and repaired the roof. We will have to replace the roof in a few years and will of course call Cowan."
"Cowan Roofing is the best roofing vendor that I've hired in over 30 years living in the central VA region. They did an excellent job repairing my roof, and when it came time for a replacement they provided a highly detailed estimate that specified all parts of the work and related costs. This company is highly trustworthy, communicates promptly and courteously, and can be replied upon to do an excellent job on fixing or replacing your roof."
"Very good. Found Cowan through a GAF reference. They responded quickly, provided a good/detailed quote and provided good communications during the entire project. The project leader, Mollie, was very responsive to my questions and issues. The one project problem involved overflowing gutters but it was solved in a very professional and business like manner. We would recommend Cowan to anyone looking for a very good roofing contractor."
