Deck, Fence, Patio or Porch Clean and Seal
James came and explained what he was going to do. He was very transparent from explaining he had an estimate to go to but he would come right back and stay until the job was finished. James moved all the furniture so he could clean under those areas. He took my old outside rugs and put them where I asked him to. And he put my new ones down. He took the old canopy down and put the new one up. He even took some of the ropes and tied it to the fence so the canopy can’t possible fly away. James fixed one of my plastic benches so the top will now stay on it. James also put another canopy up on my other patio. It’s a portable tent that’s been in my shed for a few years.The back yard looks new and amazing! James was so considerate that he took off his work shoes so he wouldn’t get the new outside rugs dirty. It’s so nice to have a contractor who cares about his work. I’m hoping James will have time to come back as there are many other projects I need him to do.

I was so relieved when James called to say he could repair facia that was ripped, damaged and hanging from a storm the night before. My insurance company quoted me a price of $7K if I reported a claim. James expertly replaced the facia the next day at a cost of $250. Buy local!

You can't beat a family-owned and operated business that does a good job at a reasonable price, and one that takes pride in their work. James and his father were great to work with, showed up as scheduled, did an excellent job installing screens on our gutters, and did the all-important clean up afterwards. And the gutter screens are just as, if not more, effective than the outrageously expensive options widely advertised.

James and his Dad were great! They responded to my request promptly and arrived at my home in a timely manner the following day. They were very professional and took the time to explain every aspect of the work that needed to be done. The cost for the project was very reasonable, and they did an excellent job repairing the exterior trim on my home - they even went as far as to reinforce the existing trim on that same side as well. I will definitely recommend their services and will gladly use them again for any future projects.

Exterior Trim Repair
Fantastic! James responded quickly to our call. He was pleasant and extremely knowledgeable. We needed an exterior vent cover replaced which was challenging because the old vent cover had cracked and was still attached to the inner duct. James did an excellent job. He removed the old cover and cleaned the area so that the new cover fit perfectly. Also, he noticed that the condensation hose to our HVAC system needed caulking, so he cleaned up the old caulk and applied fresh caulk - beautiful job!!! If you need work done - do not hesitate? call James Forrest!!! Thank you, James! We?ll be calling you again!!

I always like to support local family owned businesses. They responded promptly to my request for a quote with a detailed explanation of the work to be done. They scheduled and completed the work in a timely manner. They were friendly and easy to talk to, answering all my questions I would definitely recommend them.

My husband and I hired James Forest Contracting to fix our roof after having storm damage. They were on average $300 cheaper than their competitors and also more personable than other companies we reached out to. They came to us to look at the damage and talk to us when others only wanted pictures of the damage. We hired them on a Monday and they were here by Friday (before more storms came) repairing the three areas of damage that we could see from the ground. I word it like that because when they got up there they noticed more shingles turned up, tree limbs that were on our roof that we couldnâ t necessarily see, and a clogged gutter. They fixed the damage that we hired them for but they also fixed all the turned up shingles, trimmed the tree limbs back away from the roof, and cleared a clogged gutter at no extra cost to us. We will definitely hire them again and recommend them to others.

I received a call within 10 minutes of posting on Home Advisor. We scheduled an appointment for the next morning and Jim and his dad arrived right on time. Jim looked at the work and gave me a very reasonable estimate and began the work immediately after going to get the proper roofing tiles. Work was completed quickly and to my total satisfaction. Both Jim and his dad are personable, reliable (which is very important to me), professional and very experienced with this type of work. I give them an A+ all around and would highly recommend them to anyone.
