One customer whose roof was recently installed posted this review about Crown Remodeling on the Better Business Bureau website Dec. 19: "They worked hard all day until after dark trying to finish before impending bad weather came in. They came back the next day (Sunday) to make sure we were finished and okay for the snow....We would highly recommend them and their team."
