Common Roofing Challenges in Princeton

Jimmy and Jaccob from Viking Roofing did an outstanding job on managing our roof replacement! The crew was professional, efficient, and left our property clean afterwards. We're thrilled with the results and highly recommend their services. Not only were they very pleasant to work with but they were very responsive when I had questions even after the job was already finished. Most of all I think you will love their unbeatable prices. Best quote out of many previous bidders and the end product is great! THANKS, Jimmy and Jake!

SO impressed with Viking! The same day we signed the contract for the roof, the owner Carl came out to tarp our roof to stop the (very bad) leaking while it was pouring. He said he understood how serious our situation was and then put us in the schedule on a Saturday when his regular schedule couldn’t accommodate us for about another month. The entire team was efficient, professional and competent and we are so so grateful that there really are GREAT small businesses out there like this one.

I can’t say enough good things about Viking! Once we decided to go with them, the owner Carl, came here the same day in the rain and put a tarp over our roof where it was leaking. I went out to thank him, and he said “I saw you guys have kids and I wanted to stop the leak until we can get here to install the new roof. That speaks volumes to me. His crew came today and did an outstanding job! I was concerned about the wind and debris, but they left my property completely spotless. And more importantly, they took the time to correct the venting problem we had and did a phenomenal job installing the new shingles. The crew was on time, courteous, and worked non-stop from start to finish. I can’t thank them enough!

From sales, to office staff, to crew - Viking was courteous, responsive and friendly. I couldn’t believe how quickly and methodically the job was completed and they were very respectful to my property with the clean up. I have referred them multiple times to family and friends. I highly recommend Viking Roofing as a very satisfied customer with a beautiful new roof!
