What Our Customers Say
We have been very pleased with the work F/S Contracting has done for us. When the insurance adjustor came to inspect the old roof, they were here to talk to him. They started to work right away and completed the job with in a short time. They also put new gutters and new siding on our home. Again, very fast, thorough, and neat. We love our new roof and siding and also the great job F/S Contracting did for us!
John & Gerrie Gammel
My house was severely damaged in the 2016 hail storm and I contacted F/S Contracting to see if they can repair the damage that occurred on my home. They came out and inspected my home and said that they could repair the damage that included replacing the composition singles, roof vents, gutters, several windows, replacing the screens on my deck, replacing areas of my lap siding and painting my entire house. I was very pleased with the professional work that was done in a timely manner.
Bruce Robertson
I’ve worked with F/S Contracting a few times and they have been great to work with. They’ve replaced residential and commercial roofs for me. I really was concerned about the commercial property from the aspect of size, height and time factor, but I shouldn’t have been. They came in and got the job done. From the top on down they are all professional, always answering any questions I had and gave very helpful suggestions. The crew worked hard, in a timely matter and did a great job of cleaning up. They were very respectful and friendly. Would recommend to anyone.
Jim & Danielle Pelan
This last spring I had significant damage done to my roof by wind and hail. I contacted my insurance company and an adjuster came out to evaluate it. I was not satisfied with the adjuster’s settlement as it did not cover close to what was damaged. F/S Contracting in Tekamah came out and looked at the damage and took care of it from there on out. They met with the adjuster, walked him through all of the damages that he missed and needless to say the end result ended up being much different. F/S Contracting replaced my entire roof, fascia, and gutters/downspouts and did an outstanding job. They were fast, clean and provided high quality work. I would not hesitate to call them again for any of my needs!
