When the old metal roof on a barn started to blow away in a storm, a 2025 customer said Diplacon Builders was available that week. That 2025 customer said that in one day they tore out the old metal, stripped off the cedar shakes under it, replaced rotten boards and covered the boards with plywood, rain and ice shield and shingles. That 2025 customer said they also rebuilt the soffit, that the crew worked from 7:00 to sunset, and that they showed up the next day to haul away the remaining debris, leaving the site nearly broom clean.

These guys are terrific. I was lucky that when the old metal roof on my barn started to blow away in a storm, they were available that week. In one day they tore out the old metal, stripped off cedar shakes under that, replaced rotten boards below that, covered the boards with plywood and rain & ice shield and shingles on top of that. Plus they rebuilt the soffit. The crew worked from 7:00 to sunset, as polite and as professional as could be. The next day they showed up to haul away the remaining debris, leaving the site nearly broom clean. Fabulous job.
Divine!!! We had the dream job done. Thank you.
