Extremely impressed by John and the folks at J Francis. We were looking for a complete renovation…read moreof our house as we head into retirement. Since this is going to be our "forever home", I had some very specific items I wanted included. From our very first meeting, John took the time to listen to my ideas and concerns, and shape them into a "do-able" project. He also was prepared to give us a ballpark estimate of how much our work would run, which was extremely helpful in managing our expectations. We have completed the planning phase, and are ready to dive into the project in a few weeks. Despite the fact that I have been working out of town for much of the past year, the staff has never missed a beat, providing me with numerous e-mails, texts, and Hangouts to ensure I was a part of the planning process and constantly kept part of the proc. There was never a time when I felt "out of the loop", even though we worked long distance for much of the time. A renovation project of this size can be intimidating. But the professionals at J Francis have made us feel at ease throughout every step of the planning process. I would wholeheartedly recommend J Francis for any renovation project you may be planning. UPDATE: The renovation is complete...and looks fantastic! Hats off to Kortney and Dave, who were in constant communication with us throughout the project. As usual with a project of this magnitude, there were a few "surprises" that popped up (not their fault), but they were on top of everything and kept the project on schedule. We couldn't be happier with the results. I would give them our highest recommendation for any renovation project you might have in mind!

They will rip you off and not do any work. And then when you take em to small claims they won't pay. Cuz someone is broke and not paying their insurance premiums. I don't know how the truth I spoke on here got taken down but I bet it's because it hit too close to home. Again, use ANY other company unless you want to be swindled out of a crap load of money!!! Wonder why there's only good reviews? The owner flags em so people think this is a good company. It's not. Wish I hadn't gotten mixed up with this place.

Zack and the team at LVL are simply amazing. Our job was extensive- most outfits would say to…read moreextensive. Well the crew from LVL has had our house for two and a half months - it was a transformation from the basement to the roof. It is beautiful. The attention to detail, the quality of the work- it is unbeatable. They put in a new French drain system and properly sealed the entire basement, creating additional living space for our teen girls.They replaced all the uneven floors and made the entire home not only much more functional- but breathtakingly gorgeous. The problem is then the left the house unfinished, never completing it. Six months later- their electrical work caused a house fire. Repeated attempts to rectify the issues failed until the owner of LaVillaLux just stopped talking to us altogether. Not the best way to do business. Really sad at the outcome.

My wife and I…read morecould not be happier with the work that was done and the experience we had with Tim Harrer Construction LLC. We had been dealing with a leak in our roof that was starting to come into the kitchen, so we were looking for someone who could start the project sooner rather than later. 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. We would trust Tim and his crew to complete any projects we may have for our house in the future!

Our roof started leaking and causing damage to our ceilings in two rooms. We were in a rush to get…read moresomeone on it but wanted to do it the right way and decided to interview 5 people for bids. Tim was the last guy we sat down with. Luckily he did my mother's roof a few years back so she referred 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.

Zachary was at our home later that day to diagnose the problem areas. (RESPONSIVE) He even climbed into our attic space (very small space) to identify any further damage, thank goodness there was none. (THOROUGH) Zachary climbed out and made one call to his roofing contractor, AJH Construction and scheduled a site visit with the owner Andrew the very next day. Zachary was at our home 15- minutes prior to Andrew's arrival. (PUNCTUAL) He shared his contractor's credentials and proof of insurance without prompt. (HONEST) We shared small-talk, his background in contracting, his commitment to his Family and his customers. Zachary asked about my background and I could instantly see that he was listening with intent and a true interest in who I am. As a successful Sales Representative, I always take time to learn about my customers and share my backstory so we can begin to build trust--Zachary does exactly the same. (PERSONABLE) Zachary explained the different types of roofing options in great detail, he shared photos as examples, samples of the materials (shingles, metals, colors), he offered the pros and cons of each option with details that we could understand. (KNOWLEDGABLE) Zachary and Andrew utilized really neat technology on their phone (app) to precisely measure the roof for square footage and the other components necessary to provide an accurate quote--an extremely detailed quote that was given to me in minutes with explanation to each line item and cost, warranties and lead times on materials and execution of our new roof. (PROFESSIONAL) We accepted the quote and Zachary pledged to maintain an open line of communication throughout the entire process and he stuck to his word. He provided updates every step of the way. He handled the scheduling (had to postpone twice due to poor weather) with Andrew and his Team to complete the job, but he always took a customer-first approach and made sure we were okay with the scheduled date. (RESPECTFUL) Zachary was onsite for the final inspection (including cleanup) at the conclusion of the project (took 6 hours total) to confirm our five-star satisfaction. I am so satisfied that I already scheduled AJH to return in the Spring to replace our soffit, facia, gutters and downspouts. Thank you, Zachary Homway with Mosaic Custom Homes for your first-class service! (MY CONTRACTOR)
