“We are so happy with our new slate roof. Mark spent time with us to explore options and explain the process from start to finish. We were so pleased he listened to our request to retain a traditional look to our cottage. He went out of his way to find a great slate for us. His teams worked well, making suggestions for best approach and helping resolve any queries. We thoroughly recommend MM Roofing”
