Customer Reviews
"Had them out for a look at my house, both inside and out, never got a response back with an estimate, tried calling, left a voicemail, still no call back, hmmm…"
"Friend Construction replaced our asphault roof at a far more reasonable price than three competing bids. We solicited other bids from many of the main players in Chittenden but they declined saying it was 'too complicated'. Eric Friend was particularly easy to coordinate with-- he's fair and personable. It's no wonder that Friend Construction has reroofed many other buildings in our immediate neighborhood."

- "Had appointment and i cancelled one i had so i could meet. Never called or showed up."
- "This contractor left us hanging for over a month with a leak in our roof. He promised to set up an appointment to come by within two weeks of our conversation, but even after several calls to check in, has failed to follow up. If the company was too busy to do the work they should have been upfront about that."
- "Decent prices but most importantly great work. If you can book Eric, it's well worth your time. He has great people working for him that always provide quality craftsmanship. If I need a roof, he's where I go."
