Still ripping off people but in NJ as he did in PA. Ray Brown Jr ripped me off about 15 years ago…read morein PA when he "installed a chimney liner" for me. I was never certain he actually put a liner in but he said he did. However he put a cap on my chimney and it looked like he did something. He ever had a chimney liner laying in my yard for two days and then stated he had put liner in chimney. He supposedly "found other things that needed to be repaired". It got out of hand and I had to kick him off my property. He wanted money for things he never did. I only paid him for chimney liner and nothing else. And today 15 years later I find out from a chimney sweep company, he never put a chimney liner in my chimney. There is something about date of discovery... I recommend NEVER HIRE JAY BROWN JR. and hopefully he has closed his business However perhaps he has closed his business or moved on since most recent review id from 2018.

RIP OFF ARTIST- CONSUMERS BEWARE-should have checked yelp before allowing Ray Brown Jr to come to…read moremy home to repair my furnace on New Years Day. Shows up within the hour of my wife's call and leaves his truck running while he takes a look at the furnace. He obviously had no intention on staying long. He assessed the problem as heating oil gelling up in my outside above ground tank due to abnormally cold temperatures. He left after 5 minutes, after mentioning that he took photos of my furnace which I thought was odd(Will come back to clarify this later in this review). He said he would be back. Instead, he sends an employee named Matt. Matt sets up a propane heater aimed at the outside tank to try and warm the oil. My tank is fenced in, so he also used a tarp as a roof to help trap in the heat. Matt stayed in his truck to keep warm and periodically checked the heater. Meanwhile, he told me that he is only employed with Ray Brown Jr Plumbing for a week and is not a licensed trained plumber, but experienced more in construction work. Did not make me feel very confident at all. He then proceeded to bleed the oil line and could not get the furnace to keep running. He called Ray to come back. Next, Ray comes back. After 5 minutes, he said he was going to get 5 gallons of heating fuel and try starting the furnace using this 5 gallon can as the fuel source. He returns, hooks up to the can and determines that the problem is a bad fuel pump. Since our tank was down to a quarter filled, he added this 5 gallons. He tells me that he cant get a pump until the next day, but will come back with another 15 gallons of fuel oil to get us through the night. He comes back 3 hours later with 3 more 5 gallon cans and rigs up a connection to the furnace. This took him 10 minutes. Afterwards, he gives me an invoice for $830 for the day that also shows an estimate for another $800 in repairs?! I said that you must be kidding! All he did was bleed the oil line a few times, warm the outside tank and bring 20 gallons of fuel....no parts were changed or fuel stabilizer added at this time. He charged service call $180, 3 hours labor at $180 per hour and $5.50 per gallon for heating oil when oil is $2.89 per gallon. He explained that he normally gets $120 an hour, but charged time and a half for the holiday. I paid by check and signed his copy invoice. Needless to say, the furnace shut off at 1am and me,my wife, kids and dogs were freezing and didnt sleep well. I called Ray at 8am the next morning, January 2nd, to let him know we still had no heat. We were expecting an oil delivery and he said to call him after they deliver and he will come by and install new pump. Oil got here around 4:30pm , then called Ray. He got here around 7pm. I told him to only do the pump repair for his quoted $161 repair and that I didnt want him to repair anything else in his estimate. Again, the pump took 10 minutes to install. He texted me from my driveway and said he was done. I went outside and paid the invoice for $169(This number didnt match the estimate of $161). I have now paid him $999 for a pump that should have been replaced the first 10 mimutes the previous day. This total repair and oil should have been $350 at most! The final nail in the coffin was that the furnace was still not working, so called him on January 3rd to come back and fix what he started. I wasnt home, but my wife texted me that he was there for 15-20 minutes. All he did was bleed the line again. He then texts me to see if he should keep an open tab in case he had to keep coming back or pay $84 for this days service??? I saw RED!!!! I texted him back that he was already over paid for this repair, still didnt fix the problem and that I refuse to pay him for this. He calls me immediately and I told him I was insulted that he charged more money and still fixed nothing. He stated that he was insulted that I wouldnt pay him and blamed me that the furnace wasnt workimg because I refused to follow his other recommendatons costing another $860. He also states that I signed the imvoice from January 1st, which made it a signed contract and that he has photos and video of my furnace. It finally dawned on me why he kept making these comments. He rips people off and tries to cover himself with photos, video and the invoice in case he is sued by victims in small claims court. His services will NEVER be needed here again and proceed at your own risk!

Roff replaced the roof on my house 5 years ago (by prior owner, we moved in about 6 months ago)…read more Found a leak in the roof come springtime. I called Roff to get them to come take a look and to hire to fix it. It took several calls, missed appts, and reschedules to get John to come to even take a look, he said he would return with some guys to work on it. Since then, I have been completely ghosted by them. I've called probably 5 times since over the span of a few weeks, complete silence. Beware. They'll put an expensive roof on your home and then not help you out when a problem arises. Had to hire another company.

I couldn't be happier with the siding project completed by Al's Roofing & Siding in Hackettstown,…read moreNJ. From start to finish, the experience was smooth and professional. Amar, the project manager, was incredibly attentive to detail and kept me updated every step of the way. He provided a full booklet of siding, shingle, and gutter color samples, which made choosing from the many options surprisingly easy. I wanted my gutters to blend seamlessly with the siding, and thanks to the wide selection, I found the perfect match. Once the colors were finalized, all materials arrived quickly and the project moved forward without delay. Another huge plus is that if additional work is needed--like electrical or window-related tasks--Amar works with reliable contractors who can handle those parts as well. Overall, the entire process was efficient, well-coordinated, and stress free. I'm extremely satisfied with the results and highly recommend Al's Roofing & Siding
