Our condo association recently hired Ranch Roofing for a significant project re-roofing our Victorian-era Jamaica Plain condo building. Their professionalism, collaboration from the first pre-sale discussion through the project, and attention to detail made a complex job run smoothly.
What made the job complex wasn't replacing the previous rubber roof installed over the original tar and gravel roof built in 1892; that was difficult enough. The challenge was that the roof replacement needed to happen underneath two roof decks that would need to be removed and rebuilt to allow for the roof resurfacing.
When we started searching for roofing contractors, we heard repeatedly that the roofing company would be happy to replace our roof if we removed the decks, essentially leaving the condo association as general contractors. By contrast, Ranch's reaction was the exact opposite. They told us they would only bid on the contract if they were responsible for removing and rebuilding the roof deck, given the potential for a third party to damage the roof after installation.
When we dug into the details with Don, their lead salesperson and initial project lead, we also discovered that the decks would need re-engineering to comply with the current building code that no longer allowed for "floating decks." After sourcing an engineering firm to help with design, we connected them with Ranch and engaged them in the project. Together they submitted the necessary permit requests to the City to begin the project.
After getting through last winter with our aging roof, we started the project in earnest this spring. Ranch's on-site crew was timely, organized, and highly professional at each stage of the construction process. They were more than willing to take the time to answer questions and were able to come up with on-the-spot solutions to every unforeseen challenge, ensuring that our roof project was a success. Rolling with the changes was especially important in rebuilding our roof decks because of the complex nature of tying the new decks into the existing building framing and because we opted to upgrade the construction materials to higher quality options during the project.
Their carpentry lead, Dave, communicated every challenge he faced with the framing to ensure we understood the issues. He was adamant about not cutting corners to ensure the decks were secure. He also was very candid about the various options we discussed on the upgraded materials, allowing us to make the financial decisions we needed with our condo association. His input and quality construction produced a beautiful result (see pictures) that we couldn't be happier with.
In short, we are thrilled we chose Ranch Roofing for our roof project and would highly recommend them to anyone needing a roofing contractor they can trust to do a great job. If you are looking for an experienced, thorough, collaborative roofing contractor Ranch is the way to go...“ Show more
