Report
Amazing service!! I wish we had called them first. We had a persistent low level leak in an old property that only occurred when it rained very heavily where water came through the edge of a window frame. We have had 5 other various contractors fail to identify where the problem was (but happily charged us for NOT fixing it). Including another roofer, a builder, a walling expert ,etc. We were recommended to speak to McDonnell Price.
The came out, identified what they thought was the problem and quoted us. To my surprise and delight their solution has fixed the issue and was very reasonably priced. The service and communication was excellent throughout. I couldn't recommend them highly enough.
