Steven Batty Contracting was recommended by a neighbor here in west Cary, NC. Our water damage on…read morethe dining room ceiling made us fear the worst. But not all roof leaks are catastrophic. We were in good hands with Steve Batty. His first step usually is to see if a client should make an insurance claim or not but we had already made a claim. Steve identified the source of the leak and stuck around that day to work with the insurance adjuster, making sure the claim work up was comprehensive. In the end, Steve proposed an economical remedy to our leak that was below our insurance deductible and below a competitor's quote for the same work. It was easy to work with Steve. He sends pictures rather than just describing things. Steve offered choices for materials, made a solid recommendation, and performed the work flawlessly, even down to matching the roof shingles. Thank you Steven Batty Contractors.

I cannot say enough about Steven Batty Contracting, my son in Clayton, NC hired them to do his…read moregarage and back half of his home and was completely satisfied so he recommended Steven Batty Contracting to do my roof as well. In our discussion with Steven, prior to them coming onsite, he indicated that the entire job would be completed within one day, not like my neighbor's house where it took them two full days and cleanup on the third. They arrived at approximately 7:15 AM and took particularly diligent care to remove furniture from our porch, cover our gazebo and Hot Tub, and proceeded to strip off our 14-year-old original roofing, tarpaper, and old vents. This was accomplished within the first three hours. Next, they laid the new tar paper, water shield, new Solar Attic Fans, and all new drip edge. While they were finishing laying all the new very high-quality 25-Year roofing shingles part of their team was back on the ground cleaning up all the debris, magnetically getting all the old nails out of the yard. By 2:00 PM they were 100% finished, put all our furniture back on our porch and were on their way. Mr. Batty was constantly checking on his crew and by 3:30 PM that very same day he took the final pictures using his drone plus walking on the roof and from the yard. I paid him for his final installment, and he was on his way with a very satisfied customer, my wife and I (plus our son) highly recommend Steven Batty Construction.

I contacted Comfort Ambience in October to provide an estimate for an aging HVAC system. Mehdi, the…read moreowner, promptly responded and I had my estimate in two days. I really appreciate that there wasn't a whole sales pitch to wait through, just an explanation of what my options were and the experience of Mehdi and his team. I was also very happy to see the cost; it was lower than any of the other options. The replacement was scheduled and completed as planned. The only hiccup was that the system suddenly stopped working a week or so later. Mehdi showed up the same day and completed the quick fix (a loose fuse).

Oh my goodness. Another low score for a local company…read more... Aughh. Where to begin? My sweetheart, the right Reverend Robin R., called around to find a contractor that would deliver enough rock to line our culvert (for a reasonable price). She did *not* go with the lowest bidder. (She's WAY too environmentally sensitive to do that). She went with the company that would leave the smallest carbon footprint, Mellott Contractors of Carrboro, NC. So what if it would cost $20 more than the lowest bidder? The environment is important, and we should all be good stewards... right? She spoke with Chris. Together, they came to the determination that we'd need "Class B" rip-rap: rock which is roughly 5-12 inches in diameter. She told him we'd need enough rock to cover 600 square feet in the culvert alongside our yard. Please remember that number, 600 square feet. When the day came, Robin was ready. She'd hired a crew of three men to spread the six tons of rock over the 600 square feet of culvert. I love her attention to detail. The problem is, the amount of rock delivered wasn't even CLOSE to what we needed. She protested. They contested. I demur. After spreading the rock across our ditch, Robin and the crew realized there wasn't nearly enough rock. Ever the problem solver, Robin had the workers cannibalize enough rock from other sites around our yard to make up some (and I stress, SOME, of the deficit.) They complied. We paid. And the job was left undone, really. (At least, according to what we'd wanted.) After I got home to a clearly unhappy Robin, we went out and remeasured. (I am, after all, a middle school science teacher, who is always chiding his students about the importance of measuring carefully.) The ditch that we wanted to cover was, in fact, only 525 square feet, not 600. So there should have been a fair amount left over... not the other way around. So what happened? Why was our rock delivery off by a whopping 15%? (If you compare the square footage we needed with what we asked for - 525 vs. 600, which turned out to be not nearly enough, we came out with an 'underage' of 15%) Robin called Chris, who assured her that their scales were checked WEEKLY by the state. That being said, why the discrepancy? Haven't the fine folks at Mellott been in business long enough to understand how much Class B rip-rap is needed to cover 600 square feet? Shouldn't they be the experts we homeowners defer to? Apparently not. Chris didn't want to haggle or discuss the reasons for our obvious shortcomings as mere customers. Let me be clear - another vendor had also stated that six tons would be plenty to cover that area as desired - so again, what happened? Did we REALLY get the six tons we paid for? Chris told Robin he would sell us more rock, plus delivery charges, but would "withhold" the "fuel adjustment cost." REALLY?!? He would not inflate the cost beyond the normal price gouging? Personally, I'm appalled. Robin really wanted the yard done, and opted to go with ordering another two tons. It has since been delivered, and Robin (bless her heart) managed to put it all in place by herself - without having to rehire the muscle to heave it into place. (Her arms are getting really buff!) The bottom line is, instead of an extra $20 to assuage our environmental conscience, we're out an extra $200, AND this job caused twice as much truck exhaust to be spewed into the atmosphere as should have been. Personally, I'm not pleased. What would you do?

The quality and finished product look great. They were also very helpful with the insurance claim, which made the whole process much easier.

We had a really great experience with K&D Roofing recently. In late November we noticed a leak in…read moreroom above the garage. We had our roof replaced with a different company back in 2021 and they were not calling us back. I reached out to K&D Roofing (they are GAF Master Elite certified) and they were quick to call me back and setup a time for an inspection. I met Todd who did the roof inspection and he explained what he believes is causing the leak. Todd was professional, honest and easy to talk with. A quote for the repair was provided quickly and the price was reasonable. Todd even offered to follow up with GAF with a claim since we had GAF's golden pledge warranty. Great first impression! We moved forward with signing the quote and soon there after, we received a call from Curtis to setup a time for the repair. Curtis was easy to talk with, professional, informative and showed up on time the day of the repair. His team got to work and did a great job repairing the section of the roof causing the leak. Curtis also provided us with many photos of the work, prior to starting, during the repair and after. I attached just a few to this review. This is helpful to see and I appreciate the transparency. The team was respectful of the property and cleaned up after the job was done. I feel confident that this repair will hold up compared to the prior roofing company that initially did the work. I highly recommend K&D Roofing based on this experience.

David is that good and then some…read more He was referred to me by some fellow school counselors who said he took care of them like they were his own daughters. I wanted to buy a home, but David advised me the time wasn't right yet because I didn't seem rooted. He was right! Shortly after, I moved away. But I referred him to several friends, who have happily bought homes from him. My parents bought a home with him, sold a home with him, and now my mom is buying another. David has years of experience, and knows a ton about what to look for in a home. He'll steer you clear of homes if he notices major fixes in the near future. He'll drive you toward homes that really fit who you are. He's responsive, knowledgeable, delightful, and extremely helpful. He takes 'above and beyond' to another level. I could go on and on, but I'll stop here and just conclude that I cannot more highly recommend him.

We recently sold our house and used David Jenkins as our realtor. Some of our experiences with…read moreDavid were positive and some not so much; enough things bothered us that I felt the need to say something. As other reviews have stated, David has a good understanding of how to prepare a house for market, he responds quickly to emails, takes good home pictures, and is knowledgeable about NC Real Estate Laws and processes. We also had some negative experiences. David felt that our house needed some sheetrock and painting work done prior to listing. The painters that he recommended and hired were horrible to the point that we almost fired them. They never arrived on time and were consistently one to almost three hours late with no explanation given. The quality of their work was not good; they did a poor job fixing interior sheetrock cracks. They were also hired to re-tape, mud, and paint our garage ceiling. They left our garage in such a messy condition that it took us two days to clean-up. They also ruined some of our possessions. Pertaining to determining the listing price, I felt that I had a better understanding of the current real estate market. After doing some research I felt that we could ask for $20K over David's recommended list price, so we agreed to increase the price. David was not as up on current home valuations as he should have been in this rapidly changing market. You need to stay on top of these changes to get top dollar. David seemed to be more fixated on the number of offers a home would get rather than pricing the house to attract fewer but higher quality offers. With the current red hot market you are bound to get homebuyers who lost out on several bids. These and cash sales are the people who are driving offers up. In the end, we did get over the listing price with our house selling right away. I do feel that David did not stick up for us in a way that I had wanted and swept behavior problems that we had with the buyer under the rug. For example we had multiple instances of the buyer sending their packages to our house prior to taking possession at closing. He had an unwillingness to ask them to stop or to tell them what they were doing was inappropriate. There was plenty of time for their package to be delivered to their own address or they could have picked-up their order themselves. Our move required two moving trucks, one for boxes going to an apartment and another to storage. We did not need the hassle and aggravation of keeping track of someone else's possessions. It was hard enough to keep up with our own. Lastly, we received confusing emails from David which tip-toed around whether we should leave the house for the buyer's termite inspection during the week of closing. "You do not need to leave the house for the termite inspection, but you could step out if you would like to and it is usually a good idea for the sellers to leave. They will find out tomorrow morning when they might be able to get a termite inspector in there." Later, he tells us that we didn't need to leave. So, I did not understand why he didn't say this in the first place! For the above reasons our experience should have been better, and I would be reluctant to use David again or recommend him to others.

Then after less than 2 weeks came out with a large crew and finished in 2 days which is great for our size roof. It looks great! Pics below he took from up top. If I had to say one thing - they could have cleaned up a little better. My husband found a lot of nails and trash in the back and side yards which isn't great for the toddler and dog.
