Terrible service
Worst experience ever. He did come on time and did not do the job. On 7th February 2026. Then he apologized and said he will come again responded on the morning of the appointment that he will come at 4:30pm on the 9th February 2026. Responded to Watsapp at 4:20p. And then at 5pm phone is switched off.
Really happy with the roof repair — the team was professional and super responsive, always quick to reply and fit me in. They were friendly, flexible and paid attention to every little detail. High-quality work that honestly exceeded my expectations, and fair pricing made it great value. Excellent customer service all the way.
Everything worked out great, happy with the service.

The team at Royal answered every call within minutes, kept me in the loop, and their crew noticed even the tiniest trim and grout line—its clear they obsess over the details and really want the renovation to look perfect.
Only downside: the final bill felt kinda high for the scope, wish the quote had been sharper.
