"I contacted M and J roofing about a leak. Lous response was quick and after inspecting my roof responded with urgency. I had many roofs installed over the past several years none of which seem to work due to the pitch. The most recent roof I put on was a metal roof, which was the source of many of the problems. After Lou inspected it he told me what needed to be done and after agreeing on the contract he started immediately. They are prompt and professional and both him and his son Nick are two of the kindest human beings I ever met. They told me they'd be here at 8:00 a.m. and they were here before that, they started at 8:00 and we're done by the end of the day. Lou and Nick kept me posted each step of the way and during the removal of the metal roof they showed me what went wrong and explained why it went wrong. In short it was because of companies or people that install roofs that don't care about their work that care about ripping off unsuspecting customers. That is why in closing I will say M and J roofing should be the only and I am stressing only company anybody should want to do any work on their roof."

Customers say: Super punctual

"Working with L&L was a very positive experience.  They were professional and responsive throughout the entire process.   A previous contractor failed to properly flash the chimney when he  installed a metal roof.  As a result, a signification amount of water was coming into the building. L&L fixed this issue in a timely matter and the quality of work was excellent. In addition, they were conscientious about cleaning the yard and building when they completed the task.

"3 Son’s Siding & Gutters LLC did my roof about four months ago.They came and gave me a price that was more than fair…3 Son’s were very professional,work very safely.They stripped two layers, found that they had to get plywood and replace the whole roof, it was a bit more but they did the plywood, re-shingled the roof in the one day.i was very impressed with the way all the workers did what needed to be done. The job was done in a day and a half,all the mess was picked up went around the house with magnets picking up all the nails.All I can say I believe they are very professional, very concerned about how my property was left I think it was cleaner than when they started.Very good crew did a great job couldn’t be any happier. Great crew very professional!!!! Thanks for all your hard work.Al Couture Southwick Mass."

"This is the third time I have used this Angie's List Deal with Alliance Home Improvement. I continue to be satisfied with their work and will use them again. They have been consistently prompt, efficient, responsive to requests, and conscientious about full clean-up after the windows were installed. The only slightly non-professional (but amazingly trusting) aspect was that I was not presented with or sent a bill, but instead was just informed by the workers who installed the windows that, "if I wanted," I could pay by going online (which I did). I have also been pleased with the windows themselves, which seem of good quality and easy to open and clean."

"Barn Rescue – My barn was hit by a vehicle, which broke a large post and pushed section of siding out from under the roofline, plus major damage at ground level. Brad shored it up for the winter with an array of jacks and an enormous chain to ensure the thing wouldn’t fall down till they could return in the spring. Come spring, they fully replaced the damaged section’s support members and facade, and added bracing to the attic, rendering it stronger than before. Foundation support: The sagging beams and jerry-rigged support columns in the dirt basement of our 18th century house were inadequate. They dug and poured a dozen footings and lally columns, supporting a line of new 6x6 and 9x9 beams that provide solid support to the house above. They showed up promptly every day, worked fast, and left the site clean and finished. Both Brad and Chad have a deep knowledge about old houses and the techniques that were used, and I felt my historic register property was in good hands."

"Patrick and his team were great to work with. They were flexible with the schedule, working around weather and our vacation plans. The arrived on time, and replaced two roofs in one day, they were very careful with my gardens and left the yard spotless. Patrick used high quality materials and has a team that delivers excellent workmanship. So happy we worked with Patrick Brennan Contracting for our roof."

"Exceptional service, here on time, cleaned up everyday, technicians worked till late everyday and finished in 4 days. Complete. When they ripped the roof I was shown all issues and Joe took complete care of each issue. I am pleased and so satisfied by this company and I have been very skeptical of all the roofers that bid on this project. Knockouts price was fair and there were no surprises. The owner is so conscientious and so honest. I am so pleased i have inquired with Knockout about future home improvement projects. If you are looking for a roofing company, this is the one you should definitely contact. Or else you are making a mistake."

"I requested to have the work done before Thanksgiving and we set a tentative date of November 24. I got a call around the 14th to change the date, I was out of town and when I returned I called Mr. Harris. After I refreshed his memory on what I hired him to do he referred to me as "the foyer girl".  Would he call my husband the "foyer boy" if he happened to be speaking to him instead?
We finalized the start date to be the 21st. I rushed home that morning to get a call that his crew would not be able to start that day since another job was not completed. About an hour later I got another call stating his crew couldn't get into the other job so could they come today? I said sure. 45 minutes or so later 2 men show up to do the work. I had to explain what was to be done, showing them the quote. They did not have drop cloths, ladders or patching material or tools. Thankfully I was providing the paint so they could start with cutting in. I also provided the paper towels for them to wipe up drips.  They were quiet and polite and seemed focused on the job at hand. 
When they left I asked when they would be back and was told Tuesday, if that changes I'd get a call. 
When I returned home Monday morning I found someone in my driveway waiting to get started. I had no idea he was going to show up. This was  a new guy who had to be instructed on what to do. He was given wrong information from Mr. Harris so again I had to pull out the quote and explain what areas are to be painted, and not painted. (He was told to paint doors in addition to trim and walls)
He had no ladder and borrowed mine.
He talked a lot to me, not about the job, and on his cell phone.  While painting he asked me how to get on the mailing list for Pottery Barn and then proceeded to call them to get their catalog.  ( I had mentioned that PB sometimes has coupon offers for Sherwin Williams paint). To inspire confidence in his work he told me the guys that came on the first day had less than 5 years experience between them.
The material he used to patch the holes in the wall had a  very strong odor, causing a headache. My daughter and I retreated to her room and even though it was cool outside opened a window to get some fresh air. In the future I recommend the staff advise the home owner in advance if such an odorous product is used. There are plenty of patching products available that do give off such a strong odor.
The first guys left a clean edge of the  upstairs wall, the guy with lots of experience painted over the edge and left a partially painted area. Since he  also had to use my ladder which was not meant to be propped up on stairs to reach high areas, he used some dirty patio pavers that were in my yard as weights , directly on the stair carpeting.  I asked him to use a rag under them and he did. 
While he was cleaning up Mr Harris called  me to get in touch with his worker, while I was making dinner, tending to the dog and my daughter. We talked for awhile and he asked how I would rate the work on Angie's List. I felt cornered and explained I felt like I was being charged for a premium- he responded that his painters are professional and paid well. 
Over the days following the completion of work I noticed several areas of the walls were not completely painted, there was paint on my handrails and some splotches on the  hard wood floors. 
In summary, Mr Harris is unprofessional and over books jobs, his workers are average.   I had high expectations believing that you get what you pay for. I considered asking them to come back to touch up the areas missed, but honestly don't want to have any more to do with them. 

The wails were eggshell white and the paint that was used was light gray, so I am can easily see the paints splatters and hits on the wood finish hand rails. They were not there before the job was started."
This house had asbestos tile to be removed, rotted clapboard to be removed, several framing and insulation repairs, and reproduction moulding created on site and installed.

FAQs for wood shake or composite roofing installation and replacement projects in South Windham, CT

Cedar shakes and wood shingles might seem similar, but they have some important differences. Cedar shakes are hand-split, giving them a unique, textured appearance that adds rustic charm to your roof. They're great for homeowners who want a distinctive look. Wood shingles, conversely, are machine-made, providing a smooth, uniform appearance for a more modern look. Shakes tend to be more expensive due to the craftsmanship involved but offer exceptional beauty and resilience.

A well-maintained cedar shake roof can last up to 60 years. However, factors like severe weather and improper ventilation can reduce its lifespan. You should consider replacing your roof if you notice persistent leaks, visible water damage, curling or splitting shakes, moss growth, rot, or missing shakes. Regular inspections can help you determine when it's time for a replacement.

When hiring a roofing contractor for your cedar shake roof, asking the right questions is important. Make sure they are fully certified and have extensive experience with cedar installations. Verify that their team is licensed, bonded, and insured. Ask for details about the materials they use, such as the type of underlayment and fasteners, and how they ensure proper ventilation. Getting multiple written estimates can help you compare options and choose a contractor who offers quality workmanship at a fair price.
