What Edinburgh Homeowners Say About Us
What Edinburgh Homeowners Say About Us
After having had 3 previous but failed attempts to fix our leaking slate roof, by three different roofers, we contacted GDM. Josh quickly and confidently highlighted the problem and arranged a quote to repair the roof. Two rainy nights later, not even a drip.
Josh came out, explained everything that needed to be done and gave a very fair quote. Throughout the project Josh kept me updated by sending photos and text messages. His and his colleagues' workmanship was excellent.
Josh and Alex did an excellent job of resetting and pointing several tiles on the hip of our bungalow as well as replacing two worn out fascia boards. Both behaved in a professional manner throughout.
