We were in need of replacing three roofs that were in bad shape. Brendan met me at all three homes and was great to work with. I found him to be a very honest person and he was able to answer all my questions. The work was done in a very timely manner and the crews did a great job to include cleaning everything up. I would recommend this company very much and I also find comfort in knowing that if anything needed to be followed up on they would respond quickly. Shawn Brown Executive Director Domel Inc.

McGlinch & Sons have completed several major home projects of mine from roofing, to gutters and now my doors. Of course I recommend them! Hopefully the experience will be just like mine.

I have used McGlinch and Sons over the past 20 years from Roof repairs to new construction, roof tear offs, roof repairs both on residential and commercial properties - Every time they were professional, on-time, prepared a reasonable quote and completed the work above my expectations. Highly recommend McGlinch and Sons far and above any others. I have since moved to Florida and wish I could find this type of professionalism in this area!

McGlinch was great to work with, from the sales team to the installers. They removed my roof -- including all of the underlayment, every piece -- and replaced it with a new roof in 1.5 days. Some damage to my lawn resulted from bringing the dumpster onto my circle driveway, but they came the day after they finished and repaired it completely. I highly recommend this company.

McGlinch & Sons installed new windows in my home/office. Their work was quick and efficient. I liked their professionalism and were so polite to my family and co-workers. My salesperson was just as awesome and I hope to work with him again in the future along with McGlinch & Sons.
