My first contact with Clarence Pickett was sometime in 2024 when I was concerned about possible damage from storms. He came and inspected my roof and told me I didn't need to replace it right then and that it still had a little life left. I appreciated his honesty!
in late 2025, I was advised by a family member that I should probably go ahead and have the roof replaced before I started having problems (it was 25 years old). I contacted Clarence again, based on a trusted family member's high recommendation. My brother had watched Pickett's replace the roof on his neighbor's house and was impressed by the fact that the crew did the installation following the shingle manufacturer's instructions. NOT ALL ROOFERS DO THIS!!
Clarence came out again and agreed, it was time to replace. We reviewed my materials selection and add-ons I wanted. Based on that conversation, he prepared my quote /contract.
His crew arrived on time, did the tear off, and did an excellent job on all of the components involved in the installation from the underlayment, to drip edge, to ice and water shield, to copper chimney flashings, to new pipe vent covers, etc. My brother and I watched the whole job from start to finish. They didn't cut any corners.
Was it expensive? Of course it was! But I talked to our local code enforcement office and found that his quote was right in the ballpark for this area. Code enforcement also told me Pickett's pulls a lot of permits, so that's an indication of the amount of work he does. Out of curiosity, I also got another quote and the two were within $100 of each other. I went with Clarence because of the rapport we had and I'm glad I did.
I highly recommend you contact them when you are in need of a new roof!
