Keith and his crew showed up as scheduled. They kept the workplace orderly and clean throughout the day and the project. The quality of the work is very good. Although we ran into a few design/engineering issues during the process, we were able to work them out for a satisfactory outcome. I found the crew easy to work with. They were very careful around my wife's flowers, which is greatly appreciated. Jancewicz and Son is a much more professional contractor then others we have dealt with in the last few years. I would not hesitate to hire them again. read more

Update for review from fall of 2022: There are better, local and less expensive slate roof repair co's to hire. This is how Jancewicz operates: You call, they arrive and send up a drone for in depth photos of roof. Impressive. They come in for discussion of job. You choose slate and ridgecap colors. They come again in a week with contract which is always exceedingly high. Ours was $14,000 to replace a handful of tiles and two ridge caps. Yes, I've asked other customers and roofers about them--always high priced. Also they left the chimney repair out of the contract. The drone showed damage, it was discussed, but not included. I asked about that and the rep shrugged. Red flag! They brag repeatedly about this "great 80 year old company... " to impress you. So they are great, reliable etc. Right? Don't fall for it, they are no better than anyone else. But, out of desperation to get the roof fixed before winter you sign the contract. They come out with old, raggedy used slate. Not new slate which can be expensive and would help to explain the high cost of job. Explanation was that they couldn't match the old slate. This wasn't brought up by rep. Also brought ridge caps that are not your color. Sent them back for correct ones. Towards the end of job, Jancewicz demanded an additional $3000 for the chimney repair work on top of hefty $14,000 slate roof repair. "No way, should have been in contract," was my response. "We'll take care of it!" We hired a local company to repoint and replace flashing at roofline for $800. Great job. No more leaking into ceilings. Saved $2300. Yes, I'm wiser now. The job took 10 days, not the 3 days they stated. It wasn't rain that kept them away as they were no shows on some beautiful clear days. Go local, get referrals from people you know. These guys are no better. They advertise, that's all. read more

We had a new roof put on 4 years ago from Jancewicz for 64,000.00. Every year we have had new leaks. In June of this year, we signed a repair contract that they would remove a good portion of our roof. They came and started repair and never finished. So a signed contract means NOTHING TO THIS COMPANY. The crew promised us that the sales manager Ryan Powers would visit the site to discuss with us why the contract was never completed. He never showed up or even called. read more

Called to get a quote on a 43,000 square foot roof. Receptionist took my info. They never contacted me back. I guess $250,000+ isn't worth their time.... read more

We had such a good experience with this company that I literally started a Yelp account solely to write this review. Of all the great and terrible experiences I've had with businesses in this world, THIS was the one so exceptional that I finally pulled the trigger! We bought a house with a horrible roof. It had an illegal number of shingle layers on it, no decking, holes in the eaves that had basically been mended with duct tape and squirrels and bats had infested the attic, there were myriad leaks that had never been truly addressed over the decades, etc. It was a nightmare and just knowing how bad it was was stressing us out so much ever since 2014 when we bought the house. We got several bids from roofers, and met with I think three in person. The first two were fine, and their bids were pretty low, but they didn't inspire much confidence. They took no measurements or photos, gave no specifics, didn't really take the time to educate us about all the issues and choices etc. When Ryan from Jancewicz showed up it was such a relief. He was so professional, so knowledgeable and smart, listened so closely to all of our weird questions and concerns, and took tons of measurements. Then he put together a comprehensive (it's like 10 pages long) bid complete with pictures of the roof, close-ups of problem areas, the flashing around the chimney etc. The bid contained specs and estimates for several different kinds of roof--cheaper asphalt; nicer asphalt; standing seam metal. It was so much information and made us feel so confident in making our decisions. When Ryan came back out to the house he sat at our kitchen table with us for such a long time, walking us through everything, answering our questions, and just generally radiating confidence and trustworthiness. As soon as he left we both instantly agreed that we would hire Jancewicz even though the bids were higher than the first two we'd gotten; it was just so clear we were going to get a dramatically better product and have a better experience. The winter went by and as summer began we started getting nervous. When would the roofers come? What would happen when they arrived? This is our first house and we don't really know anything about this sort of serious specialized job; we were just generally anxious. Ryan kept us informed of the timeline and was great about staying in touch. When the roofing crew arrived we met the next great Jancewicz employee who shall live long in legend around our house--Bruce, the foreman. Bruce was AMAZING. Such a solid, knowledgeable, honest, careful person. He explained how everything would work and worked out with me various things like how they would access electricity, a kind of general timeline of what aspects of the job would happen at what time, where we wanted the skylights we were getting installed, etc. It was Bruce and a team of, I think, five other guys, who did the whole job. They were here for roughly three weeks, as it was a huge job (stripping off four layers of shingles and doing a bunch of construction where parts of the roof had rotted, then laying the custom-cut metal panels for the new roof--plus we have a complicated hip roof so the job had some maybe unusual complexities). I was at home for most of it. The guys could not have been cooler--so pleasant and hardworking and gracious even though our stupid dog barked at them every single time they knocked on the door or tried to come into the attic to work on the skylights. They were absolutely professional in every way. It became such a pleasure to come outside each day and say hey and see the progress they'd made. They went above and beyond in several ways I would like to detail but I am running out of space. Just trust me that they did extra stuff that they did not have to do. Just because they are helpful and ethical and wanted us to be happy with the job. They just finished the job today and I keep going outside just to stare up at our gorgeous, unbelievable new metal roof. Everyone loves it--our neighbors are into it, and while they were still working on it, strangers would see me on the sidewalk and tell me how great it looked. Our bat and squirrel guy says it's the best looking metal roof he's seen in this town. I truly feel emotionally moved by how great this experience was from top to bottom, from Ryan to Bruce to all the guys to the final end result which is a beautiful roof that has transformed our house and that will last until long after we are dead!! I would never hire any other company for any other roof-related work (although now that they are done, I am confident we will never need to hire a roofer ever again). I've already recommended them to everyone I know. I wish I could have given all the guys on the roofing crew a thousand dollars each; if I had that money I honestly would have done it. THANK YOU RYAN AND BRUCE!!! read more

This was our second experience using Jancewicz & Son - where they do "Roofing and a Whole Lot More!" We extended their "cold roof" standing seam work performed in 2008 to the balance of our home, replacing shingle roofing. The work both times was done on time, as promised, and fully within the extensively explained scope of work. The installers were to the person professional, polite and personable. The lead foreman was fantastic at keeping us informed throughout the project. Well done! read more

Do not do business with these people- unless your 'business is worth their time' - exact quote from the person who came out to my house to look at a roof problem. He didn't get back to me with a quote so I called the office and the receptionist flat out told me 'he doesn't want to talk to you because your job isn't worth our time'. No referral to someone who COULD help me; no apologies - just a 'f-you'. Don't believe their commercials; they don't have any interest in you at all unless they can sell you on thousands of dollars of repairs. Would never consider calling them again. If I could give them zero stars on Yelp I would but it won't let me. read more
