"Solarshield Metal Roofing was very professional from the sales team to the contractors from start to finish. Everyone I spoke to was eager to help with any questions I asked and had an understanding whether it was their department or not. They were very respectful of my property and finished in a timely manner. Once the job was finished it was like they weren’t even there aside from a stunning new roof."

"The take away: Impressive! I'd hire him again without any hesitation and will recommend him to anyone who needs plaster work done. I had several areas in my house that needed plaster repaired from a roof leak and from a plumbing drain stack replacement. Other companies wouldn't take on the job or wanted $6K to $8K and a week to do it. Robert came in, took a quick look and some pictures and quoted me at $1,700 and could do it all in one day! Sounded too good to be true, but with all the good reviews he has, I hired him. He wasn't booked up, so I hired him on Monday and he scheduled the work Thursday and then finished everything in a half day. I think everything is done extremely well! The new plaster blends right into the old plaster. And that's the thing - it's plaster. He's able to do it in one day because he puts up sheet rock and plasters over it rather than putting up drywall and putting layers and layers of joint compound on the seams, which requires time to dry, then sanding, repeat. With plaster, you put it on once, smooth it out, let it dry and it's done, and frankly looks better that way. Anyway, I have absolutely nothing but good things to say about the experience and highly recommend Robert!"

"Mike was honest about the state of our roof - estimate was free and he told us that we'd only get 3-5 more years more out of the one side of the roof, even with maintenance. I found that very honest of him, because saying that opened up the possibility that we'd forgo the repair and replace the whole roof instead. Unfortunately that was not an option for us so we opted for the repair. After he came out, the leak was fixed. And now we know we have to save up for a new roof ASAP."

"Phillips Roofing was very responsive, professional, clean, and neat. The owner and his crew were respectful and follow the guidelines of COVID-19. I would definitely hire him and his crew for another job. Great to work with!"

"Our house was built in 1941. It is a two-story red brick house that was coated in at least eight layers of white lead-based paint.  At the time that we bought the house, it was in a state of disrepair. The paint was peeling off in places.  The woodwork was falling apart. The wood on our screened porch needed to be replaced and the porch needed to be rescreened.  The entire house and a detached structure/shed either needed to be painted or to have the paint removed from the bricks and the woodwork and trim repainted.  
My husband and I were torn between repainting the entire house or stripping the brick and repainting only the trim and woodwork.  We knew that if we striped the brick, we wanted to have a very specific strip and peel product used on the house.  We did not want to have the house sandblasted.  
We solicited bids on both projects from at least three different companies. Ultimate Custom Painting's bids on both projects (repainting the entire house or striping the brick and repainting just the trim and woodwork) were higher than all of the other companies.  In spite of this fact, we decided to hire Ultimate Custom Painting to remove all of the paint from the brick using a peel and strip method, repaint all of the trim and woodwork, and paint and rescreen the porch.  The striping and painting was also done to a detached shed.  Our decision was based on a few factors.  First, after talking to Rick, I felt that he most clearly understood the project and the result that we were looking for.  Additionally, Rick also seem to be the only painter who had extensive experience using this particular peel and strip product on a project of this size and scope.  Finally,  we liked the fact that Ultimate Custom Painting is EPA-certified to deal with lead-based paint.  We decided that the extra expense was more than justified by the expertise and the quality of the work that we anticipated receiving from Ultimate Custom Painting.  We were not disappointed.
Ultimate Custom Painting's crew spent 3 to 4 weeks working on the exterior of our house. The project involved applying the peel and strip product to all of the brick, letting it sit for 24 hours, and then removing the product and the underlying paint. Once the brick was done, the trim was replaced or repaired  as needed and then painted.  Finally, the screened porch needed to be repaired, painted, and rescreened.  
All striping and painting was completed beautifully.  The house looks amazing.  The crew took great pains to ensure that the application was even and consistent across the entire house. The woodwork was done beautifully.  Old shutters that had numerous layers of paint on them were each individually stripped, primed and repainted. They look like new.  The woodwork that needed to be repaired or replaced was done and then it was primed and painted.  Overall, the house looks amazing and we are constantly receiving compliments from neighbors and from people passing through the neighborhood.
The crew that worked on our house was great.  The communication was fantastic.  They never made any assumptions about what I might or might not want. Anytime a decision had to be made I was consulted.  I always knew when they were going to be working and what they would be doing.  
My only negative experience with the entire project involved the carpentry work on the screened porch.  The carpenter that was used on this project was not nearly as skilled as the painters.  The work on the porch was shabby compared to the 
work that Ultimate Custom Painting was doing on the rest of the house and compared to what other painting companies had told me that their carpenters would do.  For example, when the carpenter rescreened the porch he used nails that were too long and went through the walls of the porch.  His solution to this was to cut off all the nails on the inside of the porch and leave sharp metal edges over the entire interior of the porch.  When the painting crew discovered this, they did everything possible to remedy the situation including filling the holes with caulking and repainting places that were showing through.  Additionally, small pieces of decorative woodwork that should have been repaired and replaced on the porch were left off altogether.  Finally, I had a wood picnic table on the porch that was used as a work surface during the project.  This didn't bother me until the house was finished and everyone had left.  I then discovered more than six 2-inch wood screws that had been screwed down into the top of my table.  While my picnic table is not aesthetically the most beautiful table out there, it held great sentimental value to me.  I was upset to see that anything had been screwed into it without my being notified ahead of time.  More importantly, the screws had been left there for me to remove.
While I would never hesitate to use Ultimate Custom Painting again and I recommend them to to anyone who asks for a painting company, in the future I will request that a different carpenter be used or hire my own carpenter for the woodwork repairs.  Overall though, I cannot speak highly enough of this company and the work that they did.  This was an incredibly difficult project with many unknowns at the outset.  The crew handled it beautifully and my husband and I now have a exterior of our house that we love every time we enter the driveway."

"The guys did such a great job! They showed up when they said they would, worked hard all day and got my roof done in one day. AND they cleaned up the mess! There were no shingles, nails, or trash left in my yard! I would recommend them to anyone needing a roof."

"B&K Roofing turned an otherwise stressful situation into a very positive experience. They provided an honest estimate of the damage to my roof and attic and were very fair in their pricing. They were cordial and professional and went above and beyond what was expected of them. I would definitely hire them again. Thanks, again, B&K!"

"Firstly, this review is two years after the fact because both spouses thought that the other spouse had posted a review! (I know!...our apologies!) More importantly, this is a first-rate company with high standards for both their work and their employees!! We will definitely return to this company for any future work we require. Workers were always punctual, good-natured, and respectful of our property. The project was a tear-off of a porch tar roof and replace with metal roofing. Also, the second-floor surrounding wood shakes were replaced with siding that resembled wood shakes. Rotted wood soffit was replaced, painted and matched to existing soffit. A spotlight was replaced in that same area. The leaking roof had brought down plaster inside the house; the ceiling was patched and painted to match the existing ceiling. Two years later and the work looks great with no problems. Again, will definitely return to this company in future."

"We used The Construction Company to renovate the main living space in our home. They removed a load-bearing wall between our office and family room, replaced the flooring, added a new window and constructed built-in storage tailored to the space. They did all of the painting, trim and electrical work (adding recessed lighting and even mounting our TV/components). John was able to provide suggestions we hadn't thought of to use the space more efficiently, such as reducing an opening to the room, adding a barn door that would maximize the available space for furniture, and constructing a built-in desk area in an otherwise awkward space that was created by our powder room. We couldn't be happier with the result! Not only did the end product exceed our expectations, but John was extremely professional. Our initial estimate was submitted quickly, the contract was detailed, and they began work on our project in a timely manner. Once work commenced, there were no breaks in the project until it was complete. The only time the cost exceeded the estimate was when we wanted to add to the scope. They were reliable and respectful of our house, taking steps to contain the mess to the extent possible. John always remained flexible and collaborative as the project progressed. Beyond being multi-talented, they were just good, pleasant, trustworthy people, which is important when you're embarking on a project that will take some time to complete. We will absolutely use The Construction Company again, and would recommend them to anyone!"

"Overall it went well. Ian James was great throughout the entire process!! He was very good at explaining the process and answering all questions. He showed us all materials being used, explained quality & choices and was NEVER pushy. He often had to explain things in different ways so that I was following along, he always did so without any issues. He treated me like he would his mom. He was very knowledgeable on the product & the business. I like that the business is locally owned & by a veteran no less. Ian, who was my initial contact throughout the process was great as were others whom I came into contact with employed by the company, including the man dropping off supplies and Dumpster. James who helped deal with my insurance company was awesome as well. My only issues were with the non-English speaking installation staff-subcontractors. My other issues dealt with no one in "charge" on sight to deal with any issues/problems questions that arose during installation. The workers were not impolite, just didn't speak english & didn't want to be bothered. They worked fast, did excellent work and used great materials. My roof looks great!! However, my big complaint is that there is no one on sight to manage the crew. This is an issue with most companies who use subcontractors, whether they speak English or not. But with them all either not speaking any English or very broken English, it was very hard to communicate issues when they arose. Ian took my calls and listened to my issues, but he isn't the one who is supposed to be on site & often couldn't get a hold of anyone who was supposed to be on site. If anyone came on site, they didn't introduce themselves or aknowledge who they were. An employee of the company should be on site to deal with any issues that arise and communicate between subcontractors & client, at a minimum of beginning, middle and especially end of project being finished. And I as homeowner should know how to contact them. Ian was always great and tried to answer any questions I had, but honestly that job should have fallen on site employee. Another issue was cleaning up during and after roof was being installed. It was a windy day, but there were 9-10 men on the roof, someone could have gotten down to clear up debris at intervals. Nails left in driveway & debris all over our lawn after they left. We have small puppy so our yard was dangerous for days. I just found debris in yard today, several months after the fact. My husband & I had to do a lot of the clean up due to wanting puppy to be safe. So to conclude.. Ian was great, Roof installed was beautiful and quality workmanship/products. The installation staff was subpar as far as communication, cleanliness and accountablity. I got a great roof installed with quality products. I am overall happy with our roof! Ian took down all my complaints and said he would express those complaints to his boss."
