It took over a week for the owner to contact us, after we purchased the deal. After calling, we missed each other's calls for a couple of weeks. Then we did not hear from him for several weeks, until we called again. After this, we did get a time scheduled, and he went ahead and got the job done--very well, from all we see. The job was finally completed, about two and a half months after we purchased the deal. I'm sure he has been very busy, but it would have been helpful if he had been more diligent in contacting us to arrange a time to do the job. If connecting by phone call was difficult, a text would have been a very good and effective option. His work does appear good, and we would be willing to use his service again, provided he would make sure to connect with us promptly.

Jeff brought two workers with him. one to fix the eave and one to clean the gutters and clean the roof. I think they did a good job. the final test will be when it rains again. Jeff was pleasant to talk to. it put my mind at ease to know that my roof is in pretty good shape as my home is about 20 years old.
Description of Work: Jeff at J Ratch came to repair a rotten eave in front of my house. He also cleaned the rain gutters.

Jeff personally supervised all work and was fully responsive to all concerns. The result was an excellent new roof. He also went out of his way to accommodate an overly bureaucratic insurance payment process. He's great, and I would definitely hire him again.

Mr. Ratchford was on time and did an efficient job patching the holes. He told us up-front that he couldn't give us a warranty because vibration from the HVAC would eventually cause another leak. (The other two roofers who gave an estimate said the same thing.) We did a 30-minute "water test" using the garden hose, and the patch held up well. We'll see what happens when we have another rainstorm.
Description of Work: Our HVAC unit is on a platform the roof. One of the holes for the bolts holding it in place had begun to leak and needed patching.

the deal on Angie's list was 150.00 for a fixed set of tiles replaced and leaks fixed. When I talked to him on the phone he suggested that I deal directly with him for 90.00. When he got to my house he went up on the roof and looked about then came down and said he couldn't do anything at this time, he'd send a quote (received later and in excess of $1000.00) and wanted the 90.00, which according to the deal was for the repairs, for just doing the quote. Total bait and switch.

I was contacted by member and he wanted a roof tune up and inspection. I was going to be in his area so I gave him a discount. The tune up consists of sealing up to 25 broken or slipped tiles and inspecting roof. I sealed approx 15-20 slipped tiles and a couple broken ones. He informed me there was a leak in one area. I diagnosed the leak and sent him an estimate for repairs. The $90 does not include repairing leaks. To fix the area right with a guarantee the tiles needed to be removed and a new underpayment and battens were needed. Sorry for confusion.

He answered promptly, came over soon after the call to inspect the property and give me an estimate. He explained clearly what he had found and my options for repair, keeping in mind the cost and how I could save money in the process by avoiding unnecessary and particularly expensive repairs. He proved to be very friendly, straight forward, honest and easy to work with. It is apparent that he knows his business very well. His crew was efficient and courteous and did a great job. I was impressed by the professionalism he and his crew displayed. I would advise anyone who needs construction or roofing to call him. I will certainly use him in the future as my number one person to go to. He is the type of person you dream of getting when you call a person you don't know to do a job.
Description of Work: We had areas of dry rot in our roof along the edges and our gutters were leaking. We also had a few cracked tiles. I found Jeff Ratchford on Angie's List and chose him based on the reviews and scores given to him.

It took a little while and several calls/texts to get the appointment scheduled. But once the appointment was scheduled, all went well. Jeff showed up on time, gave his professional and honest opinions, and got the job done on time. I also hired Jeff to repair some leaks in the roof after the tune up, and the job was done professionally and on time.

They showed up on the day they said at the appointed time each of the four days it took to do the job. The workers were courteous and professional. They cleaned up all debris each day leaving the yard and the roof clean. I was given sufficient information of what was happening each day so as to plan for their arrival and departures.
Description of Work: They removed old roofing and dry rot. Repaired underlayment as needed, replaced a leaking skylight and put on a brand new beautiful roof.

Jeff got a cancellation and was able to fit us in quickly, even with all the rain damage business. He was prompt, welcomed all questions and concerns, and cleaned up after his crew. We would definitely hire again. We suggest getting on the roof periodically, as someone is working, to look and ask questions. If we had done that the last time (different company) we might not have gotten a shoddy repair.
Description of Work: Jeff repaired a rotted roof area, installed higher quality felt, and cleaned out all our valleys. He was the only contractor we called who even got on the roof before doing an estimate!

Experience was great. Jeff came and assessed the skylight and determined the cause. Then covered the skylight so it wouldn't leak until he had an opening to replace it. Jeff ordered the new skylight and then installed it in less that a couple of hours. Excellent job and excellent service. This is the second time that we've hired this company. Jeff is a great person and easy to work with.

For both jobs, his bids are were line with other bids, the work was done very well and repaired completely. Jeff and his workers arrive when they say, work consistently and professionally. The quality that we most appreciate about Jeff is that he is a great diagnostician of the problem and in our experience fixes it correctly. He also goes the extra mile and looks at other parts of the roof for possible issues. We appreciated that he took time to check over the roof when he and the workers were up there. He takes pride in his work. The cost below is for the roof leak.
Description of Work: J Ratch Construction worked on our roof, twice. The work on both jobs was excellent. The first was done related to gutter replacement. Jeff and his crew removed several rows of roof tiles, relaid the paper and metal strips etc to do what needed to be done for the gutter replacement. The most recent, roof leak, was completed last week.

He did an Excellent job. When he first came to our home he advised us he had full work load now that it was raining everyone was realizing they had issues. As busy as he was we really appreciated him coming out as soon as he did to fix our roof. We definetly would recommend him.
Description of Work: Our roof was leaking, we callled J Ratch Construction Inc. Jeff Ratchford was able to come out the same day, for an assessment and estimate of the work that needed to be done. We had a replacement of the valley. He also put in vent roof jacks that were never installed since the home was new, 17 years ago.

He did tell us before hand that he usually charged for an estimate, but when he got done he did not ask for a fee. I don't know if he has a different policy for Angie's list or not. He did not say one way or the other. He just told my wife on the phone that he usually charged for an estimate. At that point he did not ask for any money. I thought he was very good about being upfront with saying this additional product would be very expensive. I asked for a quote with and without that and he did it. He did a very good job in separating out the different costs, and giving us the estimate for a less expensive approach verses a cadillac approach. Over all I think its a good experience, he didn't seem to be rushed. It is a busy season for us out here so i was not surprised it took him awhile to come out. I would say his estimate was not out of line. Its been a few years since we had another roofer out, and I am just ball parking numbers and it was not out of line. It did take him a while to get out, and it took a different tries. I did not mind that, its a busy season. He has other jobs and its the rainy season, and had to come out when he was in town. He stayed in contact and communicated with me when he needed to reschedule.

Member purchased a $99 roof inspection. We arrived to complete inspection and was shown a roof leak. I diagnosed leak and completed roof inspection. I provided estimate for repairs and roof and gutter cleaning including 5% discount and credit for previous roof inspection. Member emailed me back wanting a reduced price from what I provided or he would "shop it around." I stated I couldn't reduce price any further. Member contacted me a couple weeks later and wanted me to do repairs. I said I would but he would have to be patient because with the heavy storms we were extremely busy with leak repairs. A week or two later I left a voicemail with member we could schedule repairs. I never heard back, so I figured member had leak repaired already. Looking back I should have emailed member also. I apologize for the miscommunication.

Jeff Ratchford patiently worked with me and thoroughly answered all my questions. Excellent workmanship (commented by building inspector.) Pricing was on par with other estimates. I chose Jeff's company primarily because I saw the quality of work done on a relative's home. I am very satisfied with the work and highly recommend him.

Great! Jeff responded promptly to every one of my questions. Although he's busy and had to schedule a few weeks out, he did the job in the window that he said he would be able to do it in. I picked J Ratch Construction because of his quick response time and based on my experience with other roofers. I had one roofer flake 2 times on an estimate appointment, but Jeff had a quote for me the day BEFORE it was expected! Another roofer insisted on doing a 2nd layer instead of a re-roof. I was skeptical about the 2nd layer because it was a 30 year old roof with a lot of dry rot. The quote from J Ratch Construction was only a little bit higher than the 2nd layer option and a few grand less than the the re-roof quote from the competitor. This made my decision to go with J Ratch Construction a no brainer.
