Some folks just work for a paycheck. Ryan McNaughton does so much more than that. He is a skilled…read morecraftsman who builds porches that are works of art: porches cantilevered over cliffs, porches wrapped around mature trees -- and in our case, just plain ol' porches, too. He seems to truly love and take pride in his work. I interviewed a number of contractors for our porch replacement project, and spoke with references. I have to admit I was a touch skeptical of the absolutely glowing reviews I heard from his references at first. (Were they family members? Would anyone give *my* work such glowing reviews other than my mom?) But after seeing him in action, I absolutely echo all those raves: Ryan is the gold standard. He is fantastically professional, meticulous, and detail oriented; he communicates clearly; and his pricing is on par with other contractors in the area. He says what he means and means what he says. We only have one porch on this house, alas, but Ryan is also an electrician and handyman. Given what we've seen of his work, we're already coming up with a long list of future projects we hope to have his help on!

He was very responsive,…read morealways here when he said he'd arrive, and provided a very competitive quote which he stayed true too. He works by himself and to say he is detailed and meticulous would be an understatement. We couldn't be happier with the deck and the way it enhances the utilization of our back yard space and enhances the value of our home. I would highly recommend you give Ryan an opportunity to bid on any home improvement/carpentry projects you may have.

He's very professional and courteous. His prices are very competitive. I highly recommend him.

I would highly recommend Jacobs Ladder for your roofing needs…read more Hugh Johnson, the owner, is the ultimate professional and was so helpful in helping me understand the roofing and pricing process. I was also looking to replace gutters, and he advised me that all of the gutters did not need replacing, which of course saved me money. All the other contractors, just quoted me a full set of gutters. His work crew was awesome. They came on time, worked all day (finished in one day) and totally cleaned up the mess at the end of the day. I was also very pleased with his pricing. All in all, a great company!

Three weeks ago Jacob's Ladder came to my property for an estimate. I explained that getting the…read moreestimate was time sensitive, and the reasons thereof. They said they would not be able to start the project for about 3 months and I said that would be perfect timing; I only needed an estimate within a week. I told them I would be cancelling my original estimate since they came over so quickly, so I would really need their estimate. I have called them over half a dozen times and left messages with no response. Since there have been issues with phone service for the past 3 weeks, understandably there was a good possibility that they never even received my messages. Today, three weeks later, I again called the main number and texted the man who did the estimate. When I still received no answer, I called their emergency line explaining that although this is not an emergency, I thought that maybe they did not receive my previous messages and could she please relay the message. I went so far as to say that I know this is not an emergency as I am a RN and it's not life or death, but again, no one has returned a call or message in 3 weeks so perhaps they did not receive my previous messages. That said, I received a very nasty text from them saying that it was very offensive to them to inquire on their "emergency line" (the only line where someone answers the phone) that I expect a phone call back after 3 weeks of them doing the initial estimate and how "Christian" they are! So let me respond from the Bible, Proverbs 15:1: "A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." Christian IS as Christian DOES. I would not recommend this company.
