We are incredibly happy with the process and results from our new roofs/skylights/gutters from Kontz Construction! Our family dealt directly with the president, Joe Kontz. A pleasure to work with in person: Knowledgeable, friendly, no pressure, no upsell, trustworthy. Kontz Construction is a local family business with deep ties to our local community, which we prefer. This was a big job: House & detached garage, 10 new skylights, new gutters. Roof 3 stories high and a very steep pitch. Kontz broke down the prices step by step focusing on listening to our needs, which changed from the first meeting to the 2nd meeting where we locked in the job. Joe Kontz customized the job to our changing needs and focus, which was incredibly helpful. We felt 100% confident at the start of the job, and that confidence was well founded. Work crews arrived on time, polite, and incredibly hard working. The work crews communicated well with our family and Joe, and everyone felt they were on the same page as the big job commenced. Over 3 business days, two roofs, 10 new skylights, and all new gutters were executed. Importantly, the communication from Joe Kontz was ongoing... he didn't disappear during the job and was often onsite, responsive by phone or text. Importantly, the management of trash and cleanup of our property was perfect. Very large machinery (cranes) were managed effectively, with no accidents or property damage (which is easy to do with large machines on driveways, trees, fences, etc.). A huge dumpster was placed, filled, and hauled away professionally. Finally, the dedication of the roofing crew to use magnetic brooms and tools to clear our yard of metal was outstanding. Our property looks better than when the roofing job started! Anyone who has replaced a roof will understand how impressive that is! The quoted price was the price we paid. Prior damages (commonly revealed when replacing a roof) were documented with photos, and additional costs (for new plywood replacement) were explained carefully. These additional costs were minimal and worth every penny. Kontz Construction and Joe Kontz made a "once in a lifetime", critical home repair about as painless as possible. 5 stars is not enough to describe the sense of relief (and pride) we have as homeowners! We made a huge decision and it worked out wonderfully, thanks to Joe Kontz and Kontz Construction. We will always reach out to Joe as a trusted contractor for any job or service he can complete in the future. read more

Services provided: Removal and replacement of siding, capping, trim, gutters, gutter guards, and downspouts. Reason for 2/5 stars: Ultimately the job was completed per the contract, but I am not happy with the quality of work or Joe's attitude while resolving issues. I do not recommend Kontz Construction. Notes: Kontz Construction subcontracts with Topline Siding and a gutter company whose name I did not catch. Contracts with Kontz Construction include a requirement for a "positive comment and 5 star review upon job completion to full satisfaction." Kontz was 1 of 5 companies we received estimates from. For all the work done I was quoted $17,550 which was not the cheapest quote, but I felt it was reasonable and Joe initially inspired confidence. That quote did not include residing the gables, but Joe was willing to add those in at no additional cost later on. Time from signing the contract to work starting was quick, only a few weeks. Problems: Channel drain in driveway was not covered and ended up filled with debris. Siding company had to be told three times to do a site cleanup and still did a poor job of it. Fiber optic internet box was carelessly removed which broke the FO cable requiring repair by Verizon. Exterior light was carelessly removed and broken. Other exterior lights were not properly wired when reinstalled. My (brand new) trash cans were used to move debris into dumpster and were broken. A bush was completely destroyed and inconvenient branches on trees were deliberately snapped off instead of pruned. The house wrap had many gaps and was left covering attic and dryer vents. Pieces of siding near the gable peaks were not properly secured and fell off. Misalignment of the siding caused a gap to open. They did not choose to use undersill/utility trim to secure the top row of siding causing it to become wavy as the nails through the bottom edge did not allow thermal movement. An additional issue (that isn't exactly anyone's fault) is that while the house initially had 5" gutters and new 5" gutters were installed, they are actually a bit too narrow given the broad, low-pitch roof on the house and with the type of gutter guards installed there is a lot of water that the gutters do not catch. My impression after speaking with the gutter company is that 6" is what SHOULD have been installed, but the contract was for 5". In my opinion this is simply an oversight. Results: Joe apologized for the lack of cleanup, took $550 off the final amount to compensate for damages, sent the siding company back out to reinstall the pieces that fell off and fix the gap and (after a lot of back and forth) properly install undersill trim to secure the top row of siding. The gutter company has checked the gutters and said that replacement with wider gutters is what's needed, but at this point I'm done dealing with Joe Kontz. While Joe was initially polite, professional, cordial, and seemed like a no BS type of guy, as soon as I had complaints about the quality of work and assorted issues he started speaking to me as if I'm stupid, implied that since I don't live in a "million dollar house" I shouldn't be complaining, tried to convince me that undersill trim is not industry standard, and in general had a really unpleasant, unprofessional attitude about resolving issues. While the contract was fulfilled, the experience was overall unpleasant and given the corners that I KNOW were cut I have serious misgivings about the overall quality and longevity of the siding installation. My experience may be a one-off, Kontz Construction has many positive reviews, but I will never contract with them again and certainly do not recommend them to anyone else.

Joe Kontz is professional and communicative. He quickly provided us an estimate to replace our 20-year-old roof including repairing a dormer which our original builder failed to correctly flash. He came to our home to review the quote and we did not feel rushed to decide. He fully answered all our questions. He informed us of any additional costs that could arise, such as any plywood that needed to be replaced; he showed me the rotted 3 pieces of plywood that needed replacing as proof of the additional cost. He runs an honest business. After dealing with several other roofers, we decided to have Kontz Construction do the job. His team was at our hone for about 8 hours and took the best possible care to tarp our plants and bushes surrounding our home. Although there was some damage to some of the plants, I do not know if that could have been prevented. They cleaned up well and after this weekend's rain, we did not experience any leaking from the dormer that was repaired. I am confident that if issues occur, Joe will address them promptly. read more

Quick response and thorough follow up. Our roof was replaced within a few weeks of response and pricing was very fair. They only replaced wood that was necessary. Very pleased read more
