Protect your investment with a FREE roof inspection
Wind and Hail damage will lead to MAJOR problems! Hopewell Roofing’s team of HAAG certified roof inspectors will perform a FREE roof inspection to determine if you qualify for a total roof replacement. Our insurance claim specialists will walk you through the process to ensure a quick and painless experience.
Hopewell Roofing is a great company! They handled our roofing issue very professionally! They were on time and the employees were very courteous! This company has also installed new roofs for five of our friends and family members! I can’t say enough good things about this company! Andy Morrison and his crew are the best! -Morie Corley Hopewell did an excellent job of guiding me through the process of working with our insurance company. Most of the work was done in one day with just some finishing work and clean-up on the second day. The roof looks great and we have peace of mind about the roof. I have already recommended Hopewell to neighbors. - Shiraz Alikhan
