New 5.0-star Review: "We were very pleased with the work done by DryHome in installing 3 skylights and 1 sun tunnel at our home. Victor and his crew arrived on time, worked quickly and professionally, and took great care in prepping the job and cleaning up afterwards. They also followed up quickly and without question to do some cosmetic repair when a nail popped and created a bulge in the plaster near one of the skylights."

New 5.0-star Review: "A new roof is more than just shingles and nailing. As we listed our house (with 19 yr old roof) for sale, DryHome Roofing became part of the effort to maximize the home's value. They covered our new driveway to eliminate truck or tools damage. Materials truck and lift crane delivered shingles from the street, never touching our newly landscaped yard. The job was completed in a day, personally supervised and inspected by a DryHome project manager. Perfect--and a major reason for multiple offers above the listing price!"
