Excellent! We were very impressed with Jeff and his crew - all were friendly and hard workers. Jeff was great to work with, coordinated with Gutter Dr's too, and kept us informed of all the details. We were impressed with the way they protected our yard and cleaned up everyday too! We had our final inspection today. Thank you!

He arrived within 20 mins of the agreed upon time with appropriate materials. He finished in less than the estimated time. Since part of the estimate was based on time to completion, this also resulted in a much lower cost of the services. I am very happy with the work and would use him again. He also highlighted things I can do to prevent issues in the future - but did not pressure me to do the work. He was very consultative.
Description of Work: Completed the pest inspection issues identified. He helped put the pest report issues in perspective and helped create the list of items that should be fixed immediately based on our current plans to update specific areas of our house and yard. In particular he fixed dry rot under the eaves and under the house. He also caulked connections to the house to prevent issues in the future.

Jeff came out and inspected, he is polite and honest about what we needed. the price was good. Mike came out the next day took care of the dry rot and flashings , he did a great job. we would recommend them. When we need a roof J Ratch construction is who we'll call.
Description of Work: Dry rot repair, sealed flashings
I am most pleased with the very professional job that Jeff and his crew completed. Jeff provided a very accurate assessment of the work that needed to be done, his proposal was quite reasonable, and scheduling of the job went exactly as initially described. Jeff and his workers arrived promptly, worked efficiently, and did excellent work. I would not hesitate to recommend his services.
Description of Work: Dry rot repairs. Replaced barge rafters, fascia boards and some roof plywood. Replaced window trim and chimney trim. Replaced damaged roof tiles.
I have a tile roof and rain would leak between the gutter and facia in the corners. I had 4 contractors give me an estimate. Jeff was the 2nd most expensive but the only one that I felt adequately addressed the problem I was having. He showed up when scheduled and did the job in the time he said it would take to complete. I would use his services again if I have the need.
Description of Work: Cleaned valleys, repaired dry rot, installed flashing.
Jeff and his crew were very nice to work with. Work was done as written and expected. Jeff offered guidance in developing a plan to make needed repairs within our budget and time frame. He and his crew were on time, efficient, performed quality work and did a great job cleaning up. Will definitely work with this contractor again and highly recommend.

Jeff was quick to give us an estimate, which was very reasonable compared to the others we had gotten. We had challenges with skylights that were old and leaked. Our roof has areas that tend to retain water and cause leaks. Jeff had ideas on how to make sure the new roof will not cause problems in the future. He and his crew were punctual, courteous and professional. The job was finished In less than 4 days.
Description of Work: We had an old shake roof that had to be replaced on our 36 year old house.

Jeff and his crew did an outstanding job replacing dry rot areas and weathered trim. Miter cuts were clean and Jeff used high quality lumber and screws to complete the job. The work site was cleaned up better than expected. Jeff did exactly what was asked and I would definitely hire Jeff again for any future work that I may need. The work was done on a two story stucco home with a tile roof.
Description of Work: Replaced chimey top trim and slider trim.

Excellent service provided by J Ratch Construction! After initial contact by phone, Jeff stopped by to give me an estimate. I thought the estimate was very reasonable and decided to go ahead with the installation. Jeff originally said he was out a couple weeks with work, however, arranged it so his employee, Mike, could come out the next day to install. Jeff had told me to expect Mike between 8 - 9 a.m. and that everything would take between 3 - 5 hours. Mike arrived right around 8:30 a.m, and finished up by 12:30 p.m. Mike did a great job, was very courteous, friendly and professional, and cleaned up after he was finished. Originally, I planned to re-roof and Jeff had given me a very reasonable estimate but had to delay due to financial hardships. I LOVE my whole house fan! I have used it every day since it was installed! I plan to use J Ratch construction in the future. Jeff and his team are top-notch! Thank you for great, quality service!
Description of Work: Installed whole house fan and two roof vents/dormers.

Painting was completed on Thursday afternoon, May 15. Jeff had arranged the installation of steel gutters and downpouts through Gutter Drs for Friday, May 16. Gutter installers arrived on time and the job was completed by 11:30, May 16. Well organized and executed. Extremely please will all the work and effort. Beautiful job!

Jeff returned my call promptly and came out to evaluate my problems and give me an estimate. This was a complicated repair due to roof tiles that are delicate and can not be replaced (manufacturer out of business). He removed the tiles and the dry rot area and installed new materials and replaced the roof tiles with minimal damage. He repaired the damaged tiles and also repaired about 40 other tiles that he discovered were cracked. He also discovered dry rot on 3 decorative roof beams and removed the dry rot and primed all his repair work. His crew showed up on time and did excellent work and cleaned up everything so you would not know they were here! Definitely would recommend them to anyone!

We were extremely pleased with J. Ratch Construction Incorporated. I called this company to investigate an area of the roof that was not properly draining rainwater into the gutter, and to repair a few broken tiles. I also wanted them to check the rest of our fourteen year-old tile roof while they were here. Jeff Ratchford came and checked the area of concern, and also inspected the rest of the roof. He found that due to an original installation error, some of the roofing had degraded over time, causing the drainage problem. The next day, he sent us a quote to repair the construction error, and also to replace or repair multiple cracked tiles. We found the quote very reasonable, and we felt comfortable about Jeff's competency and honesty. We set a date to do the repairs, and Jeff arrived as scheduled. He did a great job at the quoted price. We plan to continue a relationship with this company, and have them out periodically to check and clean the roof and gutters.

I had several dry rot areas, but it was not a huge job. I had had other contractors come over and give quotes, but they disappeared or suddenly got too busy when it came time to do the work (Translation: we can make more money on other jobs). It was easy to set up an appointment. Jeff Ratchford explained the issues well, and explained why he would do what he proposed. We discussed alternatives and came up with the best choice. He prioritized problem areas and explained what should be taken care of now, and what could wait a while. He and his crew were right on time for the work. The work looks fine and they cleaned up well. Jeff instills confidence and I would definitely use J. Ratch Construction again in the future.
Description of Work: Jeff removed dry rot from several beams on the front of the house and also replaced the barge rafters. Installed metal drip edge, caulked and primed wood.

He came out when I called. It was raining and he crawled onto the roof and looked for the problem. He gave me a written estimate for repairs, on the spot. The repairs were made timely and he gave a 3 year guarantee. He is also a General Contractor and I will use him or recommend in the future.

I was impressed from the very start with this contractor! He showed up on time, explained what the job would entail (including how long it would take to complete the work). He gave me an estimate within 24 hours of surveying the work. When it was time to do the work, he showed up right on time with his work crew. They got to work immediately, and within a day and half had completed most of the work. He was also very good at explaining along the way any issue that may have increase the price of the job. In addition, he gave me a military discount for being an Air Force Veteran. When it was all said and done, the work was done, and in a manner that more that met my expectations. This contractor does outstanding work, and I definitely plan to use him again in the future.

I had a roofer take a look at it and he said I would need a sheet metal repair guy. I called a sheet metal repair guy and he said I needed a roofer. Luckily I found Jeff he came out looked it over and said he could do the job. He gave me a fair estimate and did a great job. I am confident that area will never leak again. I was so happy with his work that I had a range hood that I needed to be installed above an island and scheduled him to do that for me also. I would recommend Jeff to anyone.

Jeff wrote the most detailed bid we have ever seen. At the time of accepting the bid, we were very comfortable with exactly what areas he would be repairing and how he would do that repair. There were no surprises. This is in contrast with other bids that you receive where many of the details are communicated verbally, but never written . After acceptance of the bid, we scheduled the service date for approximately 1 1/2 weeks later. He completed the repairs while we were at work and let us know 1 hour prior to finishing, so that I could come home for a walk-through of the repairs. When I got home, he took the time to walk me through each area he repaired and why there may have been dry-rot in the first place. He left our home very clean and there was no construction debris. It rained the evening of his repairs. I contacted him the following day to see if we should be concerned that the caulking did not cure. He said it should be fine, but would come back if we needed touch ups. We will definitely use J Ratch again in the future and have referred him to family members.

Shortly after one of the rain events we had in February I noticed an ominous bulge in the bathroom ceiling. Cautious poking with a broom handle pierced the bubble and let loose a torrent of water. I checked Angie's list for Roof Repair and chose J. Ratch because they were located close to my home and had excellent reviews. Jeff returned my call promptly and we set up a date for the following week. He arrived on time and after spending a bit of time doing some exploration on my roof discovered that the flashing around my skylight was rusted through. He proceeded to replace and seal the flashing and replace a substantial number of the composite shingles around the skylight that had to be removed to make the repair. The entire job was finished in about three hours. He was efficient and professional, and cleaned up after the job was done. He did a great job! A couple of days after he did the repair the heavens opened up again and poured on us for hours. Not a drop of water came in! Following his advice, I am letting the ceiling dry out really well before calling him back to repair it in the hopes that not too much of the sheetrock will need to be replaced. All told this was a great experience and I will certainly keep Jeff in mind for future repairs.
