Holten came out and I explained what was going on with the basement bathroom.

Under the sink in the bathroom and vent check valve was missing. The contractor plumber never installed it when the house was built 2 years ago. He said he could fix it right now and gave a very reasonable price. I said go ahead and within 30 minutes he had fixed a problem I had been dealing with for the last two years.

I hired this company for attic mold remediation and related repairs. The written agreement clearly…read morestated that half the payment was due upfront (which I paid), and the remainder was due upon completion. There was no clause or discussion requiring additional payment before the project was finished. The company completed only part of the work and then left the rest--specifically insulation and drywall--unfinished. This left my attic without insulation during the coldest part of winter. When I followed up to have the work completed, my calls went unanswered, despite being told they would return. One day, I came home from an appointment to find the workers packing up after completing only the mold remediation portion. They had the owner on speakerphone. At that point, the owner demanded additional payment before proceeding with the remaining work. This had never been discussed and was not reflected anywhere in the written agreement. I calmly pointed that out. The owner then proceeded to yell at me for an extended period of time over terms that simply did not exist in our contract. The interaction was aggressive, unprofessional, and completely out of line. During that conversation, I even tried to de-escalate and discussed possibly separating the remaining work due to his behavior. However, I made it clear that my preference was for the job to be completed properly and with care, as originally agreed. That never happened. After that interaction, the company stopped responding altogether. I ultimately had to hire someone else to finish the job. To be fair, the employees I interacted with in person were kind and professional. However, they also did not respond to my follow-up attempts, which I can only assume was direction from the owner. If you are considering this company, make sure every detail is explicitly documented and be aware that the project may not be completed as agreed. Additionally, the owner's conduct alone should give serious pause before entering into a contract.

"When - and if - you speak to my competitors, you'll notice some of them practice the "High Pressure Sales Pitch." They'll dance around your original question: "HOW MUCH DO YOU CHARGE." They don't want to let you off the phone until they've made a sale. I don't believe in that: I'll answer ALL of your questions, and if you want to call me back later, that's fine with me." Tim was very communicative about the process, offered discounts for bundling inspections and paying cash. The day of he explained everything thoroughly as neither of us know anything about the structure and quality of a house. His report was color coded and very detailed. We knew what was urgent, what needed to be fixed in the future, and what would be normal upkeep. He answered every one of my questions and was patient with me. It is beyond evident that Tim loves what he does and that shows in his work. He didn't scare us but rather prepared us. He also recommended Joe Blume for a sewer and drain inspection and we trusted recommendation. They are a great team and we're so glad we trusted them to help us with this process. We're glad we could support a small business owner and if we ever buy another house, Tim will definitely be our go-to inspector. Don't think twice, Tim is THE inspector you want. THANK YOU, TIM!!

Also, to complicate matters, we wanted new siding on a portion of our house and the back patio suddenly needed be addressed due to wood rot from all the ice/snow this past winter. We interviewed and received quotes from 9 different roofers/companies. Tim, by far, offered the best combination of price, value, solutions, communication and expertise for all of the work that we needed done. Once we agreed to the contract proposal, Tim and his crew came out a week later and got all of the work done in 2 days with the roof portion only taking 1 day of work! It was unbelievable how efficient and effective Tim and his crew were at completing all of the work. Tim also took the time to answer all of our questions and concerns (which were plenty) and was flexible and understanding when we changed our minds and added another job (we wanted the front of our house sided to match the second story portion). Tim and his crew also did a fantastic job protecting our bushes around the house and even our lawn, as recent rainfall had made it quite swampy. Cleanup was very thorough all around our property as well! We consider it quite a blessing that we were able to find Tim to complete all of these projects for us! Even his communication goes above and beyond expectations in terms of response time with text messages or phone calls, and knowing who you are when you contact him.

This is crucial since he doesn't have much advertising and otherwise we would have never known about him. He came out the same day he called me back to take a look at the roof. He put together an estimate and we were pleasantly surprised! About 1/2 of the most expensive bid and almost $1,100 cheaper than the cheapest bid which didn't include an additional roof to be installed over an outdoor structure. We thought we sure hope this isn't too good to be true. Tim and his crew started the job the very next week. The job went off without a hitch! Tim and his crew took just two days to rip off my entire roof and replace it with quality Owens Corning shingles, and put a metal roof on my outdoor structure. They came early, about 7:15 and worked until the job was done. They cleaned up everything and even cleaned our gutters while they were up there! I can't say enough good things about T. Harrer Roofing and Remodeling. They are a young company, but what they lack in age they make up for in professionalism, quality work, and value. Excellent job. Will definitely be using them again for other projects.

Jay came & gave a quote 8/18. We discussed the work to be done & agreed 2 soffit supports & the surrounding trim needed replaced. I showed him pictures & explained in detail what it looked like on the inside. I was assured that the work to be done would be of quality, & that they were going to remove rotted supports & replace them w/ new wood. Jay arrived on the job 8/20 w/ 1 other employee (El?), they discussed the details of the job & Jay left to get materials. El began removing the rotted trim on the 1st support & cut the rotted end off of the support. When Jay returned w/ the materials. I noticed there were only various width 1"x's & a couple 2x4s, no 2x10s, so I decided to see what was going on. I noticed El was piecing together 1"x's like a game of tetris to get the width of the original support but not providing adequate support. I pointed this out & a piece of wood literally fell out of his assembly exposing rotted wood he was going to hide. He called Jay, & proceeded to remove the trim from the other bad support & cut its rotted ends off. When Jay arrived, I pointed out the covered up piece of rotted wood & stated that what was being done provided no support. Jay instructed El to cut out the small piece of rotted 2x4 & replace it w/ a new piece (approx. 8"). El moved onto the 2nd support where he had both 2x10s cut to equal length & was proceeding to use a staple gun to attach new 2x10 end to end, again providing no support for the 3' of roof overhang. When I pointed this out to Jay, he began to show frustration & took it out on El, then asking if I knew how to do this job why didn't I just do it? At this point I wish I had. They then cut one of the 2x10's shorter than the other & put a couple of screws in it, still not providing adequate strength to support. El worked for awhile putting up the trim. After he attached the two sides I mentioned that it was crooked & the bottoms were running together. Jay told me that "unless you're really looking for it you wont see it." Seems like something a professional would say, right? Jay told me I was making El nervous & hes not used to others watching him work. He also began explaining how the job was more technical now & that he would need to adjust the cost, but quoted "I wont beat you up too bad". Even though the agreed upon job of replacing supports was not being performed? I went inside for awhile allowing them to work. Shortly after, Jay went to get pizza & once they ate lunch, Jay left. El rushed to finish for the day; he completed the trim work, smeared caulking in the screw holes & slopped on some paint (getting it all over the soffit & fascia). El cleaned up some of the materials & left for the day w/ no communication. When I noticed he was gone, I looked at the work done. I texted Jay, saying the job didnt look good & that there was paint slopped all over my house. When cleaning up after their mess, I also texted Jay & asked about the 2nd support just left open to the elements (as there was rain in the forecast). He responded an hr later asking if I wanted it tarped. In that time, I decided I didnt want my attic left open, so I closed it in myself. I received no other responses from Jay that evening, nor on Sunday. Monday, I texted him asking if we were going to come to a resolution w/ this all. To which, I got poor attitude & the insinuation that I owe him more money. I tried to explain that the poor craftsmanship was unacceptable & he should take accountability, he then replied "please stop texting me". Since then I have had no contact w/ Ryder Roofing. On 8/25 & 26 I pulled apart their "repair" to find it worse than I thought. It came apart w/o much use of force at all, apparently staples arent very structurally sound. So I, the homeowner, redid the entire job, properly REPLACING the support 2x10s.
