FJB Enterprises is hands-down the best excavator and contractor in the area…read more Fred is an absolute pleasure to work with; professional, creative, and incredibly easygoing. Communication was always prompt and crystal clear, and every step of the process was laid out in detail so there were no surprises. We received great rates, and the value of the work far exceeded the price. The entire experience was completely stress-free, and the quality of workmanship is second to none. I've had FJB Enterprises excavate two large mountainside properties, and Fred's creativity truly transformed rugged wilderness into breathtaking, livable works of art that we'll always cherish. Beyond excavation, his team's construction work was equally outstanding, precise, efficient, and beautifully executed. If you want top-tier quality, fair pricing, and an excavator who genuinely cares about your vision, look no further than FJB Enterprises. They've earned my absolute trust and highest recommendation.

We proactively replaced our current 24 year old roof using the Consumer Reports recommended Owens…read moreCorning Duration shingles. I recommend Frank Witz without hesitation because 1) He is a Saratoga Springs native with over 30 years of roofing expertise 2) He is an Owns Corning preferred roofer and therefore offered the Owens Corning transferable 50 year warranty for our new roof, which includes full labor for the first 10 years. At $400 extra cost, this warranty seemed reasonable to us because having it will likely increase our home's future resale value. 3) Two of our neighbors were pleased with the cost and reroofing results using Frank's service within the last month, and I was informed by one of them that Frank is the roofer of choice some of our area home builders. 4) Frank's written estimate included everything (clean up and haul away old roofing) and he was able to schedule our job within two weeks of placing our order. There were no cost overages. Frank reasonably asked for only 1/3 down by check on the day the job started with the balance to be paid after completion. He capped a white PVC plumbing exhaust vent pipe for which I provided the ventilated cap at no extra charge. 5) Athough our neighbors homes were completed in one day (with a rain delay on one of them) our roof is larger with a more complex design and took two days straight. Fortunately the rain held off, but each day had record temperatures reaching over 100° real feel! Frank assured me that his workers were used to working under those extreme conditions. He used a team of workers of Ecuadorian Indigenous extraction who were short in stature but amazingly strong, who Frank assured me were US citizens. Despite the extreme heat, they worked relentlessly, only taking hydration and lunch breaks, from the time they arrived just before 7 AM until early evening the first day and until the job was completed by late afternoon on the second day. They protected our outside patio furniture, grill, HVAC unit, and home generator with large mesh. The job site cleanup was good including using magnets to remove stray roofing nails from our lawn. They left a small pile of garbage adjacent to our driveway that Frank removed within two days of job completion. Frank returned for a walk around to examine the job and be paid the balance four days after job completion. The only concern I had was that there were some openings located between the shingles and the vinyl ceiling beneath the eaves where the "bird boxes" or "returns" on the roof were located. He told me he would have "one of his guys" stop by within a week to seal these openings to prevent wasps and birds from nesting in these areas. They returned the next business day and sealed all the openings to my satisfaction. Less than two weeks after the job was completed, epic thunderstorms with torrential rains associated with area tornadoes barreled through our town and there were no roof leaks. The Slatestone Gray color we chose has a three dimensional appearance and perfectly matched our siding and 24 year old vinyl shutters. With the new roof, our home has more "curb appeal" than it did when it was originally built! Bottom line: If you need a roof call Frank Witz.

He accessed the situation, made a plan and then sat down and explained reasons, options, costs and timelines. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional and easy to get along with. I was given a verbal quote at that time and told him I'd call to schedule. I received an emailed quote that evening, called the next day and was able to schedule for a week out. This was just after Christmas. Joe came and completed the job exactly as he had explained, cleaned up behind himself and then explained what he'd done, the hazards of the products used and aftercare. I cannot recommend him highly enough and hope he's available as needed in the future.

When we shared our vision to Cecil, Dan and Meg about the style of home we were looking to build. They truly brought it to life. Through the time that it took to build the home, it came together piece by piece. In the end, it is exactly what we wanted. Dan is an amazing Project Manager and knew when he had to conversations about challenges with the project. He is honest, fair, most of all transparent. He stands by the work his team does every day and I would as well! Communication with him was wonderful and he was always available. Building a home is one of the most challenging things we've done in our lives and I am grateful for so many things that I learned and that Dan taught me. Thank you for our amazing and forever home!

We had our modular home built by Westchester Modular and then Saratoga Modular Homes, LLC, finished…read morethe home after it was delivered and set on the foundation. Saratoga Modular acted as our general contractor. We lived on Long Island while the home was being built and was commuting back and forth about every week or two. The home was finished in May of 2014. From Day 1 our master shower leaked into the basement. We brought it to Cecil Provost's attention multiple times over the course of 7 years. Cecil is the owner of Saratoga Modular Homes, LLC. He kept saying it was "bad" grout. He wanted to seal it with caulking. Not on my brand-new tile shower! Seven years later Cecil had his worker rip out the complete shower and re-build it. THE PAN WAS NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY! Westchester Modular was responsible for the subflooring in the entire home. The wood floors on the first floor began to squeak after about 4-5 years. Westchester Modular was called in to make repairs. They came and added 2 columns and sistered some of the beams in the area of the squeaking. It did not solve the problem, and the squeaking has spread to the whole first floor. As I am writing this, we have a company in our basement sistering the beams to hopefully correct some of the squeaking. This is a major expense as well as a major inconvenience. All of the insulation has to be taken down as well as the in-floor heating elements and re-installed after the work is done. Our outdoor lighting fixtures by our garage were hung on the siding, not into the house itself. They were actually drooping. Good thing my husband was able to redo several of their mistakes. We have had to hire outside companies for the jobs my husband could not tackle. These are just 3 of the major headaches we have had to deal with. Cecil has reached out to me and promised that he is more than willing to work with us on any issues we still have. I am also willing to work with him as well. Don't get me wrong...we love our home and always get complimented on our house on the hill. All our problems are in the past and we are happy to be living in the North Country.

My 100 year run down old home has never looked better in the forty years i have owned it. Not only did they display artisan workmanship, but were fairly priced, prompt, always responded to my text messages within five minutes, and very clean. They earned my complete trust early on in the project. There is nothing like paying for repair work on your home and finding the final product far exceeds your expectations. If you are looking for a company committed to excellence and customer satisfaction, you cannot find a company better than this one!

The cleanup as well. I couldn't find a nail anywhere after a complete roof replacement. These guys also did a remodel on a good friend's home here in Luzerne and one of his homes in Bolton Landing. In both cases the work was beyond what they had expected and the price was lower than what was estimated. You don't find that combination very often. Combine this with the fact that these guys show up when they say they're going to show up and do the job they say they're going to do with professionalism and I think you'll understand that this is a one-of-a-kind company.
