Flat, Foam or Single Ply Roofing Repair
$1,706
At the begginging him and his wife was very nice. They did a lot of fast talking. They did the job in 2 days, they wanted to get paid and staryed to 8pm to finish the job to get paid. I could not check the job because it was dark. They assisted on getting paid that night even though the bank was close and they could not deposti the check. The next day we notice the trash they left the patch work that was very unprofessional we called for him to come back out. He said he would come back out but never show up. Now I have to hire someone to fix his mess.

I was able to set up the appt for the next day. However, due to unforseen activities our pick up was not able to take place. The owner called me very early to advise of the delays and to reschedule (at the time that would be good for me). I advised that I would not be able to do it until I get off of work the next day and they were able to work with me. When they arrived and to the time they finished must have only taken 40 mins. Very polite, quick - they were a life saver. I will hire Swain Construction again in the future. Thank you.

Asphalt Shingle Roofing Repair
$925
The roof still leaks in the hallway where my main concern was originally. I had a few other spots fixed. There's a small area on the back with a little moss growing, but no leaks. Dean said it would take 4 squares of shingles at a cost of $875 to fix it. That is preposterous! He always about how much money he thinks the customer has as a basis for his charges. Once he found out that I am a doctor, the fee went through the roof. I'm successful because of what I did, not because of anything the roofer did. I wouldn't hire him again for any reason, and I don't recommend that anyone else hire him either.

Very customer focused and friendly. Noticed a piece of molding cracked in window seal that was not there before but was not replaced even after pointing it out. He did however tried to patch it. It did not look professional.

I called them at the last minute and they were able to start the project the next day. I was extremely satisfied with the quality finished product, professional manners of the management and crew. I would highly recommend them for any of your construction projects and I plan on using them again in the near future for additional projects in my home.

I was contacted by Swain Construction the same day I asked for an estimate, they came out and gave a fair estimate in a timely fashion. The fence was installed on the day we scheduled, workers were great and very satisfied with job. Owner Dean Swain was responsive to all requests and, very personable and professional, I highly recommend Swain Construction. I will hire them again.

I requested an appointed, and it so happened they were in the area working, so I got one that same day. It was a small job and they made arrangements to fix it the next morning, they ran about 30 minutes late, but they called and told me thy were running a little late. They finished the job, cleaned up and were gone in a very reasonable amount of time. The only thing that disappointed me, was he gives a 5 year warranty on his work and he was going to e-mail this to me, and since he had been so prompt with everything else, I was looking for it , that same day, and it had not came, otherwise I had no complaints, only compliments.

Dean Swain came out and fixed my pantry folding door. He was fast and fixed the door for a minimal charge. I am very satisfied with the service and will hire them in the future for any handyman jobs around my home. Dean is a very personable guy with an easygoing style. I give Swain Construction a 5 out of 5 rating. Dale M.

Got immediately a phone call once I submitted a search for a local "handyman" service. I was quite impressed. The young lady who dealt with me over the phone was friendly and we made an appointment to have my repair done within 4 days. The gentlemen who came was professional, neat, and did a good job. I was pleased. I would have give a higher rating in the customer service area, but didn't because the "handyman" had no business cards nor receipt form with him. I am supposed to get both items mailed to me. Overall, a surprisingly pleasant experience. I will call them again in the future when the need arises.
