The number one question we all want to know. What are the costs to complete the job?
We live in a world now where we have access to everything at our fingertips. But when it comes to the costs of exterior remodeling projects it's difficult to get the information we need to make an educated decision. The price of any project allows you to think ahead and know what you're about to get involved with. It gives you the opportunity to set money aside and budget for the project. Knowing the price of a large expenses is extremely beneficial.
Knowing the costs first can also hurt you dramatically. Knowing the costs before you know what it is the company does can lead to a horrible experience. Many companies will have you sit through a 4-6 hour presentation before you ever hear a price. This is done very strategically.

In the remodeling industry, specifically roofing you never ever want to decide based on price. We can promise you that no matter who you choose to get the project completed it will be a disaster. Every company that you meet with will tell you that they are the absolute best roofing company in Houston. Garvin Exteriors will also tell you this.
Let's say that you have 5 estimates for your roof. Naturally you would remove the lowest price and the highest price. Leaving you with 3 estimates. Let's just say you went with the company that was priced right in the middle of the other 2. A great company and a great price, right? But on the day of the installation the crew showed up late and material was missing. They damaged your property and left nails all over the driveway. It was a complete disaster. Would it have really mattered if they had a great price or not if the install was horrible? You would not be thinking about the price of the project now but how horrible of an experience this way.
Service received is what matters.
The best roofing companies in the industry will walk you through their process explaining why they install their materials. Why they do what they do compared to other companies and what separates them. They will also do this in a timing manner so you can get on with your day.
