Raneri And Long Roofing & Solar

Dave and team are amazing. Professional and ready to teach without pushing. True contractor values with no invoices or progress payments until complete. They did an awesome job with a new roof, thermo insulating sheet, 50 year GAF shingles, solar and rain gutters. They even helped us narrow our color choice by giving us a few addresses in each of the 4 colors we were debating. The only estimate and crew that did their own tear off! We had a small misunderstanding on the conduit and solar equipment panels, they moved everything and kept all the conduit out of sight and off our roof! Services: Roof inspection, Roof installation, Attic venting

James got on the roof to check things out, contacted Dave, the owner, sent him pictures a

Dave Hancock is the boss - and his grown kids, extended family and trusted crews run the show. Chatting with his workers - we learned most have been on board forever - so not a lot of turnover here, nice to see. SIX THINGS WE DISCOVERED: 1) They WON'T accept money up-front. No deposits. That was a first. If you pay up front - you've lost control. I think they know that - which is why its policy puts customers at ease. We didn't pay until the job was done. 2) No sub-contractors. A big deal because it's common for contractors to "sub out" their work to specialists with whom you have NO leverage. But R&L is an "all-in-one" biz that only does what it knows, i.e., roofing, solar, windows and gutters and a few oth
