"The contracted the work off to a third party. Jon took longer than expected. The windows was installed pretty good from the looks. Communication could have been better with knowing the job will take longer and what types of trims I wanted for the windows. As the contractor that was hired for this job by this company. Did a good job with putting up decent trim. As for the new windows they look great. I purchased the myself and hired sentri homes to install them. I will need to have a my siding on my house redone to be closer to the new windows so the gaps are not so obvious. That was not expected at first. But from old storm windows and not knowing how they were put in originally. There was some unknown things that was learned from the job being completed. I will have the siding of the house slightly done to match really good for what I wanted later on. My only concern is better communication with sentri homes. Overall they were great when I did talk to them."

"The Watry crew worked all day and installed a new roof on my home. It looks great. They tore off the old shingles and repaired some old areas and installed GAF shingles. At the end of the day all the debris was cleaned up and the yard looked great."

"We ordered the pad, they sent us a kit to create the template used to make the pad. Was easy to use and sent it back. A few weeks later the pad came and fit perfectly. I couldn't be more satisfied."

"This company ranks the highest with me. From the initial measuring and estimate, to the installation, and then a minor manufacturing issue, I could not be happier with choosing Superior to install my windows. It took me almost 6 months of research before finally pulling the trigger to hire Superior. I went overboard and got estimates from 9 different businesses. They used different window manufacturers and for one reason or other (my comfort with the business, quality of window or cost), all were eventually crossed off the list. In a last ditch attempt to find other service providers before having to settle for someone I already crossed off, I stumbled upon Superior! When I called to set up my measurement appointment I found out that they used a window I was already well educated on, and was on the top of my list! Ryan came out to measure, he was very knowledgeable, personable, and I felt comfortable with him. He was going to be doing the actual installation as well. When I received the quote, it was $2,500 less than an identical quote from another installer. I was already sold on the product, felt comfortable with who was going to be doing the install, it was a no brainer to go with Superior. The windows were ordered, installation was scheduled once they came in, and the whole process was flawless! Once Ryan started working, it was very obvious he is a perfectionist. The sliding door and windows were installed perfectly. I did find a scratch on the glass of one of the windows, and the office manager Stephanie, came out to inspect it and ordered a new window pane for me and then came to install it once it arrived. Ryan and Stephanie had really made this big purchase happen for me with very little effort on my part. They have handled every little issue that came up to my complete satisfaction with great professionalism. I would love to hire Superior for additional work I was to complete in my house!"

"We recently had to have our bathroom shower replaced and the drywall around the new shower was cut out about 8 inches around the new shower.  We saw the "Big List" deal for Mud Slingers (timing was great) and had them come in to replace the missing drywall.  At the same time, we had some drywall from our kitchen ceiling that was not looking great (it was installed improperly at some point) and we had some drywall in our upstairs bathroom that needed repairs, too.
Mud Slingers was great!  Chris came over and we talked about pricing and timing.  I was really pleased at the timing since one of our two bathroom showers was out-of-service until the drwayll could get replaced and painted.  All in all, Mud Slingers accomplished the job much quicker than I thought.
As for workmanship, both my wife and I were really pleased.  He was able to match the texturing that was original to the house, so when it was painted, you couldn't tell the difference.
Overall, we were pleased with their work, quick response, and overall job!

"The roof area above our attached garage was leaking badly whenever it would rain or snow would melt. Because there was a wooden deck installed above the rubber roof, it was not possible to determine the source of the leak.  After several attempts at patching things, we started to contact contractors to find out what was needed to fix the problem.  
I called JJB after locating them on an Angie's List search.  We arranged for Jeff to stop by to look at the problems and provide an estimate.  He stopped by, right on schedule, and looked at the problems, took measurements, and explained solutions.  It became clear that the leak was being caused by the poorly installed rubber roof (under the wooden deck) as well as a failing second-floor stucco wall that abutted the roof of the garage.  Because of the cost, we were not able to have the work done at the time of the estimate (April/May).  When we were ready to have the work done, I had a few additional questions about the project and talked to Jeff.  He suggested some different materials for the wall and modified the original proposal with the new costs.  We approved the proposal and Jeff or Ann got back to us right away to let us know the timeline for the work to be done.  
The work started right on schedule and either Jeff, Ann, or the project manager, Joe, would check in with us to let us know how the work was proceeding and any issues.  Some extra work was required due to water damage and the improperly-installed roof materials.  When this came up, Joe explained exactly what would be needed, the charges, how they would be estimated, and all other details.  We approved the additional costs and all of the changes were well-documented so we never felt like we were in the dark about the revised costs.  When the additional work was complete, Joe let us know and the originally-proposed work continued.
All of the work was done carefully with close attention to detail.  We are very happy with how things turned out and, after a few rain storms, we have not had any further leaks.  We highly recommend JJB.

"Let me start by saying I recommend and will use Zimmerlee in the future. They were not the lowest bid, but provided the most comprehensive work description in the bid.
Every construction job will have unforeseen items crop up, sometimes in the favor of the people paying the bill, but more often there are additional costs involved. This was no exception,
As the tear off was proceeding, the gutters fell of because the fascia board that was there was to narrow and too thin, so there was nothing for the gutters to hold on to during the tear off. Of course that lead to installing fascia board, gutters, and soffit because of the low price some one else paid years ago.
The additional cost was very reasonable, considering I had no choice but to have the additional work done.When it's all said and done Zimmerlee was not the lowest bid, I tend to shy away from the low bids because "you get what you pay for".  But what was most important is that I got more than what I paid for.  We have had unusual and extremely heavy rains and winds since the work was completed, I have not had a single issue with the work not holding up. I am very satisfied with the price I paid because Zimmerlee did such a good job the first time, there was no need for any warranty work to be performed. That is a bargain in my book."

"I’ve used RNR for several projects including roofing, carpentry, drywall, trim, etc. Always had good experiences and will continue to use them."
