Special Thank You to Tony Hernandez and the entire staff at Vanguard. The roof and gutters look great thanks to numerous efforts to gather details needed for my insurance company. Great ideas and recommendations regarding color choices and styles. The roof was torn off and replaced in a single day. Clean up was excellent. What more could you ask for? Thanks again.

Just wanted to share with my friends how great Vanguard General Contracting was for our roof and gutter replacement! I dreaded the day I would need to do my roof replacement as a home owner. Sam took care of EVERYTHING… I mean that. They met with insurance and handled all of the coverage options. I had a beautiful new roof and gutters with payment within days.. can’t beat it!

We worked with Alissa Kent in order to get our roof replaced. She made the process so easy and it was seamless! She was professional and had our claim approved and roof replaced within a matter of weeks! The roofers came and had the roof done in one day (house and shed), they did an amazing job! Would highly recommend this company!

We had a great experience using Vanguard to replace our roof. Tony Hernandez helped us through every step and was very thorough in his explanations. He was flexible to our schedule and worked with our insurance directly to answer questions and file a claim. The process was smooth, and I got to be hands off for the most part. The crew that handled.

Tony and Vanguard have been phenomenal to work with. I contacted Tony after a huge windstorm with speeds clicked at 80mph hit back in January. Tony came out, assessed the issue, and informed us that because it was caused by a wind storm, he could get it covered by our homeowners insurance. The leak also caused our gas fireplace to stop lighting.

WWe had the pleasure of dealing with Sam. We had some damage to our roof from pretty bad winds. Sam worked with the insurance company to ensure we received a fair and proper inspection. We are very satisfied with Sam and Vanguard for the work they did to help us get a new roof.

I have had a fantastic experience working with Marcus to have roofs and skylights replaced at my place in Annapolis. It took me several months to approve the final plan during which Marcus was highly supportive and patient, providing info as needed. During the on-site construction, we realized much of the existing gutter work was not reuseable as believed. Vanguard stepped up.

Sam came to my door and mention I had some missing shingles with a discontinued roof product. He said he could get my roof approved through my insurance company and did exactly that! Vanguard did an incredible job for us replacing our roof. They were here exactly when they said they would be here. They did exactly what they said they'd do.
