I contacted DT Roofing after a satellite dish pulled a section of the roof up when the high winds blew it down. Parker Nelson came out, evaluated the damage, and came up with an estimate. He sat down and explained the whole process, the benefits of using DT Roofing instead of other roofers. His presentation and DT Roofing folder were full of important information outlining the company's awards, liability insurance, and material warranties. Upon inspection of the roof, Parker identified the roof had significant damage. He recommended contacting the insurance company to get them to inspect it. There was NO pressure ever, only assistance walking through the process. The insurance adjuster actually had more concerns than Parker mentioned. The adjuster stated the roof needed to be replaced. So that is what DT Roofing did for me. Every step of the way, everything Parker explained would happen, was exactly as he stated. DT Roofing crew did an excellent job protecting my property from damage during the install and Parker came back after the install to inspect (also around multiple times during install to supervise) my new roof and my satisfaction with the cleanup. The roof is beautiful, I also had gutters installed. I love them also, just another example of the quality of DT Roofing. Thank you, Parker and DT Roofing.

DT Roofing has been my go-to company for minor roof repairs and for a total roof replacement due to hail damage. Parker Nelson was the project manager for my roof replacement last month. He was in contact with me throughout the entire process. He worked with my insurance company to provide evidence of roof damage. He verified that all the work was done properly including the ancillary work (staining, painting, gutters, window screens). There were no surprise charges, and available upgrades were fully explained with no pressure to purchase. They even installed a higher grade of roof, which lowered my homeowner’s insurance premium. I cannot express the gratitude I have for Parker. He is just a good person, and that shined through in his dealings with me. Thank you, DT Roofing for a beautiful roof and for hiring people with integrity—like Parker.

Cannot say enough about the professionalism, and skill that DT posesses from the Project Manager on down to field installers. It was a pretty small roof as metal roofs go, but DT approached it as the most important project they had. Justin was great. He reacted to the upcoming rain and split the install schedule to make sure the work was done before the rains came. Miguel’s crew went right to work both days, and did a great job from start to finish. Finished 2 hours before the rains came and were very careful not to let the roof nails penetrate through the brand new 1/2” thick pine roof boards and be visible from the inside. Great job guys!

After the April tornado damage, I contacted DT Roofing, Justin Sherwood after a high recommendation by another family member. He assisted us with all roof replacement, gutters and metal replacement on my shop. I have never experienced a more thorough person to assist us during these repairs. We consider ourselves most fortunate that Justin was there for us. The expertise of the repairs is beyond reproach and completely supervised by Justin.
