This was my first time working with James Forrest Contracting and I was very pleased with the experience. James Forrest and his son contacted me quickly about my repair request on a weekend. The two came out on Monday to review the recurring problem that seemed to be difficult for others to diagnose. They explained what they saw as the cause of the roof leak and how they would fix it. They gave me an estimate and sent the proposal that day. They returned promptly after the roof had time to dry from an earlier rain, and completed the repair. They stand by their work, and gave me the guarantee that they would return if needed. I felt their work was very professional and they set a fair price. I highly recommend this team for roof repairs.

Jim showed came out and gave me an estimate for the job almost immediately after I called him. When I decided to use Jim for the job, he came that same day to start the job and finished the next day. Jim and his son were very professional, cleaned up after the job and answered all my questions. The gutter guard product is fairly new in the marketplace, but I was impressed with its quality and functionality. I would recommend Jim to anyone who asks.

Mr. Forrest gave a detailed estimate. Arrived at scheduled time to begin work. He was efficient, friendly and did a great job. He cleaned up after the job completion. We even added an additional request that he was able to do during his project for us. I would recommend and use Forrest Contracting again.

My mobile home roof needed coated and some repairs. My wife and I lucked out when James Forrest Sr. and Jr. answered our call. We are senior citizens and never found more professional and competent contractors. The Forrests are dependable , honest, hard working individuals who take pride in doing quality work. Their attention to detail and getting the job done when promised, at the price quoted is second to none. All of this with great prices and they give a warranty on all their work. I highly recommend James Forrest Contracting. I will only use them for my roofing needs.

Had a small roofing repair. James Forrest Sr. and Jr. came (others didn't or couldn't for some time), immediately understood what needed to be done and most importantly did it! All done in time for the next rainstorm.

James Forrest provided outstanding service in power washing and painting the porch railings, support posts, front and kitchen doors and trim. They were prompt in responding (less than 24 hours, I received a phone call) to my initial request submitted online. We scheduled an appointment for Friday May 7 for them to see the job and provide an estimate, and they showed up exactly on time on the scheduled date. They provided an estimate on the spot, which I agreed to. Work was scheduled for the following Monday May 10, and completed on schedule on Thursday May 13. Quality of work was outstanding. James was easy to communicate with before and during the job. First rate service. Highly recommend James Forrest.
