We proactively replaced our current 24 year old roof using the Consumer Reports recommended Owens…read moreCorning Duration shingles. I recommend Frank Witz without hesitation because 1) He is a Saratoga Springs native with over 30 years of roofing expertise 2) He is an Owns Corning preferred roofer and therefore offered the Owens Corning transferable 50 year warranty for our new roof, which includes full labor for the first 10 years. At $400 extra cost, this warranty seemed reasonable to us because having it will likely increase our home's future resale value. 3) Two of our neighbors were pleased with the cost and reroofing results using Frank's service within the last month, and I was informed by one of them that Frank is the roofer of choice some of our area home builders. 4) Frank's written estimate included everything (clean up and haul away old roofing) and he was able to schedule our job within two weeks of placing our order. There were no cost overages. Frank reasonably asked for only 1/3 down by check on the day the job started with the balance to be paid after completion. He capped a white PVC plumbing exhaust vent pipe for which I provided the ventilated cap at no extra charge. 5) Athough our neighbors homes were completed in one day (with a rain delay on one of them) our roof is larger with a more complex design and took two days straight. Fortunately the rain held off, but each day had record temperatures reaching over 100° real feel! Frank assured me that his workers were used to working under those extreme conditions. He used a team of workers of Ecuadorian Indigenous extraction who were short in stature but amazingly strong, who Frank assured me were US citizens. Despite the extreme heat, they worked relentlessly, only taking hydration and lunch breaks, from the time they arrived just before 7 AM until early evening the first day and until the job was completed by late afternoon on the second day. They protected our outside patio furniture, grill, HVAC unit, and home generator with large mesh. The job site cleanup was good including using magnets to remove stray roofing nails from our lawn. They left a small pile of garbage adjacent to our driveway that Frank removed within two days of job completion. Frank returned for a walk around to examine the job and be paid the balance four days after job completion. The only concern I had was that there were some openings located between the shingles and the vinyl ceiling beneath the eaves where the "bird boxes" or "returns" on the roof were located. He told me he would have "one of his guys" stop by within a week to seal these openings to prevent wasps and birds from nesting in these areas. They returned the next business day and sealed all the openings to my satisfaction. Less than two weeks after the job was completed, epic thunderstorms with torrential rains associated with area tornadoes barreled through our town and there were no roof leaks. The Slatestone Gray color we chose has a three dimensional appearance and perfectly matched our siding and 24 year old vinyl shutters. With the new roof, our home has more "curb appeal" than it did when it was originally built! Bottom line: If you need a roof call Frank Witz.

The cleanup as well. I couldn't find a nail anywhere after a complete roof replacement. These guys also did a remodel on a good friend's home here in Luzerne and one of his homes in Bolton Landing. In both cases the work was beyond what they had expected and the price was lower than what was estimated. You don't find that combination very often. Combine this with the fact that these guys show up when they say they're going to show up and do the job they say they're going to do with professionalism and I think you'll understand that this is a one-of-a-kind company.

We hired Rich Home Exteriors to redo the exterior of our home. We had multiple issues throughout…read morethe project. The work being done seemed subpar at best. There did not seem to be any oversight by Rich Home Exteriors to keep track of the work and quality of work being done. Many of the windows that were being wrapped were improperly done and had to be redone, as well as an exterior door and some trim along the garage. We had asked them to remove some existing solid wood soffits along the garage eaves and install ventilation. Initially they simply covered over the existing wood, which did not allow for ventilation. It took a few attempts to get it properly ventilated. The threshold on our new front door was very unstable and flexed every time it was stepped on. We had to mention these issues a number of times before they were remedied. We had a number of other minor issues as well. We chose Rich Home Exteriors because of the positive reviews we had read online. However, our experience was very different from what we had read. We decided to put up an honest review of what our experience was like. It was a very stressful situation for us. We had to continually monitor the work that was being done ourselves.

However, he was not licensed and insured so I wouldn't use him. Called Rich's, who is licensed and insured, and they came by to look at it. There assessment was that the door was fine (and it was), and the rotted wood was just a kick plate. All flashing and seal around the door was fine. Just a couple of dollars to replace the kick plate and all is fine. Plan on using them for some additional repairs. I would highly recommend them.

Never in all of my years of working with contractors have I had such an unfortunate experience. Work began on our house without proper permitting and without a certificate of insurance- both required by law. Work completed did not meet code as determined by both a licensed architect and the local town code enforcement officer. The code officer outlined the steps necessary to make our house a legally inhabitable space, but THS failed to assume full financial responsibility to make it right. We had to pay out of pocket for what is essentially the price of the original contract to fix these issues ourselves. THS has not returned any credit for our substantial out of pocket expenses to bring their work up to code and has not reached out to resolve the issue. It shakes me to the core that people and their companies can sleep at night with this type of behavior. Based on our family's experience I WOULD AVOID THIS BUSINESS UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES.

Using a lift crane to decorate their customers home they completely blocked the street for hours and yelled at the residents to "go around the block" and at one point even gave the middle finger to two of us. Rather than say "sorry for the inconvenience and would you mind going around temporarily", they chose to be extremely rude. I find this unacceptable for a company that touts themselves as "local".

Everybody's contractor experience is unique so please read my review with this in mind…read more We moved to Saratoga in 2009 and bought a "problem" home... a Victorian which had been carved into units by owners who had little regard for the integrity of the building. Our goal was to restore it to its original liveability as a single family home. Teakwood has a reputation as expensive and our initial bid, to do everything on a wish list, was pretty high. But they worked with us and a revised bid was significantly lower and we went with them. This bid entailed a clear-eyed distinction between "need to" and "nice to" improvements so we ended up with a price we were happy with. The quality of the work, both by Teakwood carpenters and their subs, is superb. Teakwood has a philosophy of assigning a master carpenter to oversee the job and our guy, Dan Decenzo, could not be better. Josh, the guy who did a number of built-ins, is a master of his craft and we now have benches and bookcases that look like they have been there 130 years like the rest of the structure. We were offered a 1 year satisfaction guarantee and I'm prompted to write because, well over 1 year after the fact, Dan has been back recently to fix a couple minor things. Bottom line, we are really happy with Teakwood and would definitely recommend you bid out your project to them.
