J Smegal Contracting specializes in more than just roofs, we have a whole department with everything gutters. Ryan called in and originally wanted just a gutter estimate. After talking with our Gutter Division Manager, she set him up with one of our amazing estimators. He had an issue regarding the amount of ice build up and how it was starting to pull the gutters away from the roof.

Our estimator, Jake, went out to look over Ryan's gutters and noticed that certain parts of the roof were loosing heat. With all the knowledge he had gained in his extensive training with Klaus Roofing System, he realized that there was a bigger issue. The roofing system was starting to fail. He informed the homeowner of his findings and gave them a gutter and roof estimate. Ryan was relieved to know that this would help the ice build up for the harsh winters we have and signed the paperwork.

The office staff processed the signed documentation, applied for the permit, and scheduled the job. We ordered IKO Dynasty shingles and the rest of the materials needed for the job. Our crew worked hard to ensure a successful installation. Ryan was pleased with all the work that was done.
