Mike Conti says: „Getting a new roof put on your house or building is one of the most important and stressful things you have to do as a homeowner. I say stressful because as many people discover, unless you can handle the job yourself you’ll have to hire someone, and finding someone who is dependable, reputable, and good at this particular craft can be very difficult. A few years ago I bought a nearly 200 year old property with a large house, connected ell and barn, and have been working on it since. Just before I bought the place the previous owners hired another company to put a new roof on the house, and the job that was done was very disappointing. Since I had no say in this I have had to live with the poor decision in hiring and the poor execution of the job. So when I was ready to have the roofs on the large ell and barn done, I did a lot of research into the various companies available in my area. Luckily for me, I found James & Whitney online. Gotta admit, while reading the many rave reviews about the company, I had my doubts they were all legitimate. Seemed too good to be true. But here I am, several months later, after they completed my job, and I’m writing one myself. From the very first call to the company I was impressed. They were very responsive, friendly, and competent. Jeromy drove quite a ways to give me an onsite evaluation as the company is based in Maine but expanding into New Hampshire. He was outstanding and very thorough. The estimate/quote I received a short time later was lengthy and concise. We even included the demolition of a deteriorating and unused chimney on the ell as part of the job, which took another worry off my mind. To top it off, he also gave my next door neighbor a quote on his house and ell, and said we’d get a discount if we did both jobs on the same day, which we ended up doing. My neighbor got the same type of quote as I and was also very impressed. After making our selections for materials, we then waited out the rotten winter until April when both jobs were to be done. Two days before the job start the materials were delivered to the site. Delivery was very professional and the materials were all bundled and stacked together, separated for each job. One day before the job start the dumpsters were delivered, again very professionally. They work with The Can Man out of Lebanon, ME and they were great, friendly and professional and the dumpsters looked new because they were. Day of the job went off like a military operation. I grew up in the trades and know what I’m looking at when people do this type of work. They brought in a great crew, large enough, motivated enough and experienced enough to pull off two large jobs at the same time. In effect they stripped, repaired and reshingled FOUR roofs in one day—including taking my chimney down below the roof line and buttoning it up — and when they left everything looked outstanding plus they cleaned up so well they left no trace of the work except the full dumpsters and some excess materials that were both picked up a few days later. Even Jeromy showed up to touch base and be onsite for the job start, something that surprised me and was appreciated. The onsite project manager was a young but experienced carpenter named Shayne and Shayne was also outstanding. Not content merely to supervise, Shayne executed a lot of the more precise and difficult parts of the install himself, finessing the valley work and replacing some rotted wood on the barn. Shayne also put up two ladders and improvised some sheathing specifically to protect two antique carriage lamps mounted on the barn from any possible falling debris. The attention to detail was greatly appreciated. The crew was outstanding and worked arduously from about 8am until after 6pm, stopping only for lunch. They were all business, no smoking, no fooling around, though they did appear to be happy in their work and in working with each other. All in all an outstanding experience, and I cannot recommend the fine folks at James & Whitney enough. Very best regards Mike Cont...“ Show more

Courtney LaBranche says: „I cannot say enough positive things about David and his team. The only negative is that David only does roofing/skylights and that it is impossible to duplicate him so he could be a contractor for everything you could possibly need. He has been the best contractor we have ever worked with, by far. Right from the start, David had the best communication we have seen from ANY contractor we have ever dealt with. David always returns calls or emails within the day and is so kind and professional during communications. When he showed up for the estimate, he had a folder of information prepared that detailed everything that goes into a full roof replacement and different options, warranties, financing options, etc. This may not seem like much, but it showed us how detailed and prepared David is on everything he does and how much pride he has in the wonderful business he has. I really appreciated being able to see what certain funds were going towards and the breakdown of a roof estimate. All other contractors provided us with a proposal that didn’t really make sense, but David’s outlined EVERYTHING in detail and he went over it with us. He welcomed any questions and was happy to answer them and never made us feel like he was annoyed or frustrated. We felt he also went above and beyond to help us save money but select options that make this financial investment even more worth it. Talking to David never felt like talking to a salesman, he was honest, upfront, and easy to talk to. He provides additional warranties other companies don’t provide and really backs up his work. When trying to pick a color, David went out of his way to drop off options he felt we were leaning towards so we could see them in person and not just pictures. The best thing about David is that he is PRESENT and on the job site during the roof replacement. He guided his crew and is clearly a great boss and leader. We loved seeing how great he also treated his crew and the appreciation he constantly showed them, as that is also important to us. He was on site almost the entire time, making sure everything was perfect. He also installed skylights for us, which required him to work inside, and he left our house cleaner than when he came in. While he was working at our house, we had several unrelated issues arise that were stressful and overwhelming and David was so understanding and professional through it all. After the job was complete he made sure we were 100% happy with the work and clean up and even did extra magnetic sweeps to make sure the nails were gone, which our dog and kids appreciate...“ Show more
