Its website lists a service area that includes Burlington, Shelburne, Charlotte, Vergennes, Bristol and Middlebury. A 2024 customer said Galen got back to them quickly after wind damage on a standing seam roof, gave an estimate based on photos they sent, and had it repaired within the estimated price range. A 2023 customer whose metal roof was damaged in a wind storm said the storm damage was repaired and the roof the original roofer failed to do was finished. A 2023 customer said Galen and his team worked on two roofs at the house, one metal and one shingles, and that Galen inspected the adjoining roof and repaired its structural deficiencies while installing the new roofs. A 2023 customer said Helms installed a new roof, did carpentry to replace rotted siding and plywood, and did a major window installation, and that the crew cleaned up after themselves and was careful not to wreck the flower beds. A 2023 customer said the crew at G.Helms deconstructed and rebuilt a crumbling chimney. A 2022 customer said Galen replaced chimney flashing and broken slates, and that he and his crew installed a standing seam roof. A 2022 customer said Galen and team replaced a full section of worn asphalt tile and completed it earlier than promised. A 2025 customer said Galen and crew documented their work with pictures and that costs and timing matched their estimates. That 2025 customer said they then noticed a tile had shifted over winter and, after letting the customer know, fixed it.
