Testimonials

Great job and I highly recommend them. They were prompt, professional, and did the job before we thought they could even fit us in. We will definitely use them again if we need them.

I have only good things to say about GenEx as a contractor. From my initial calls with Greg, through to completion of the roof and siding project, he was knowledgeable, responsive and professional. The owners of the company (Paul and David) were on the roof with their crew ensuring the job was done right. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend GenEx for roofing or siding projects.

Greg came out to my place to do a roof inspection. He was very thorough and advised us of all of our options, even including the option of waiting to replace our roof. You could tell he wasn’t just trying to sell a job, but provide honest options available. He even did a roof repair for free for us! He advised us on what to look for should future issues arise that may require attention and, most importantly to me, he advised on what not to lose sleepover. He was reassuring, telling us what to do to protect and maintain our home. He really took his time and even looked at additional exterior concerns (such as my gutters) that I had, again, answering all of my questions. I highly recommend them! The office staff was friendly and they maintained contact for scheduling and responded immediately, respecting my work schedule as well, which I appreciated!

We were extremely happy with the job Gen-Ex did on our roof, interior drywall, and floor. We have no more leaks, and everything looks great. Greg did a great job of helping us through the insurance process, and keeping us informed along the way. I would definitely recommend Gen-Ex.

It was easy for me to make the judgment because they were excellent. I have been a homeowner for over 45 years and have worked with various contractors. General Exterior was the highest quality, highest technical level, and highest ethical level contractor that I have ever dealt with. One time when we were short on material the president of the company even went to get more materials. They were just excellent. I would absolutely use them again and recommend them to anyone.

We needed our garage roof replaced, and I can’t explain how happy we are with the results. Our roof looks amazing, and Paul and his crew fixed everything that was wrong with it or that was not done correctly the first time, which was before we purchased the house. Great job and I highly recommend them. They were prompt, professional, and did the job before we thought they could even fit us in. We will definitely use them again if we need them.

I can highly recommend General Exterior Construction for roofing jobs. The owner was professional, helpful and pleasant. The way the crew worked together was quite impressive. I am especially grateful for the care they took to not damage the lawn or flower beds.

Gen Ex was absolutely amazing. We had storm damage that resulted in all new shingles and gutters. We had a ventilation issue and Gen Ex went above and beyond in replacing plywood and making sure the roof was vented properly. Thank you to Paul and the Gen Ex team!!

The team has been very prompt very kind and very helpful! We couldn’t have asked for any better services. They got us everything that our home needed to be repaired from the hail damage on our roof and gutters.. Gregg is who we worked with the most and let me tell you he is the best. Getting back to us right away, made us understand everything very clearly. Upfront and very honest. Followed up on everything as well. This company goes beyond to make sure you are getting what you are needing.

GenEx installed a new Cedar roof on my home in Cary. I couldn’t be happier with my choice. From the initial phone call to every follow-up conversation to the care they put into their work, they have been beyond professional. I spent a lot of time over the last few years getting repairs on my old roof, researching contractors, getting quotes for new roofs and, ultimately, found Paul via a friend’s recommendation. Paul was, by far, the most professional and thoughtful contractor to look at my roof. He clearly was not just trying to sell me a roof. He spent a great deal of time up on a ladder inspecting the roof (surprisingly, most contractors never even looked at the roof up close, but instead just quoted using satellite photos). Paul was genuinely inspecting to see if I could get away with another year of repairs. Throughout the entire process, he consulted and advised including trying to make sure I was comfortable going the more expensive route (cedar). In the end, I decided to stick with cedar and do an entire new roof. The price was very fair compared with other contractors (especially given the rising price of cedar and current economic/supply chain issues in 2022). They began work right away. The crew led by Thomas was fantastic. They took great care to protect the exterior of my home including putting up giant protective nets and structures as they did the teardown. The work was great. They worked the weekend to get the work done. The cleanup was thorough and, in the end, I would highly recommend GenEx for any roofing job whether going cedar or not.
