This is the second time we had James power wash for us. His work is impeccable and he is on time, communicates well and is just an all around great guy. We will continue to use him for all our power washing needs. James Hawkins is the guy to call if you need power washing! He was very responsive to calling back and setting up a date for service. He readily shared his information for being insured and bonded. He stopped by the same day I called him and did a walk around of the house and areas to be cleaned and sent out an estimate within 12 hours of stopping by. We had everything washed, the house and gutters, the porch and sidewalks, the deck, the railings, stairs for the deck and even the grandchildren's outside slides and play area. He showed up on time and addressed our concerns, he is very approachable and friendly. When we need this done again he is the guy we will call.

Can’t say enough about James and Hawkins Roof. He was incredibly helpful in giving all the information on the process and provided an easy estimate that was very fair and less than competitors in the area. Showed up as expected and did a fantastic job. He will be our first call whenever we need work again!
