Dear Op Neighbors: It is certainly up to each of us to do our due diligence when searching out a contractor but I wanted to share my experience(s) with you in the hopes of helping a fellow community member. A local roofer gave us an estimate for over $8000 higher than the roof we had installed from Superior roofing in Long Branch. The roof we finally contracted was a much higher quality with a far better warranty. NEXT: I requested a price for installation of a gas generator from Lawes in Shrewsbury and found they were $6500 higher than the contractor we hired for the same services who are highly reputable. Pre Sandy we had a wood floor installed from Louis DaSilva from Long Branch which is now cupping but unfortunately he will not return our calls. Last but not least Run!!! From POOL WORLD in Middletown. Dave the owner failed business 101, complete lack of professionalism. Hung up when I advised him he could not just pop in and that I needed a scheduled appointment. I am all for Capitalism just not thievery.
