This is a follow-up to an earlier review. I was very pleased with the roofing work. It looks great and the workmanship appears quite good. However, the gutter and shutter work were not done correctly and have needed follow-up repair. I would recommend highly for the roof but would suggest going elsewhere for gutters and/or shutters.
Description of Work: New roof, new gutters and replacement shutters

We had Jesse out about a month prior to doing work to get an idea of what we were looking at. He gave us a “worst case scenario” on replacing all the wood on the bay window at $1,900. I was worried we might be looking at twice that, so the price was great, the only problem was they were booked solid for two months with big roofing jobs and we needed the work done to sell our house. Jesse and his team were understanding and worked us in on the first weekend they had free. Even with a complicated job with some intricate woodworking they paid attention to detail and wrapped it up in the weekend and at almost $600 below the worst case he quoted.
Description of Work: We have a historic home with a wooden bay window out front in which much of the wood had deteriorated and started to rot and needed to be replaced.

The estimator came out and gave clear information explaining their work. Was impressed that he was the only estimator that actually got up on the roof. Quote came in and it was clearly the best of three. But did not go for low quote I went with the quality of the estimation, explanation of the materials and the reviews here. Anyway had to wait a bit longer than hoped but the job was scheduled ahead of time and was done on time and as promised. I even had a small addition to a gutter and they quoted fast and added it. We really appreciated dealing with the office manager especially helping us to pick the best color for us and communication. They cleaned up the job and it looked very nice. Job well done.
Description of Work: We had a tree fall on our roof and rip apart a bit of siding. Decided to extend the job to replace the entire roof as it was time.

Came out estimate wasn't done very suspicious behavior
Description of Work: He parked around the corner which made me uncomfortable I questioned where his vehicle was wondering why he didn't park in front of the house. He walked away never did the estimate. I call his office to let them know what happened and if this person was an employee of their company I never got a response

Jesse and his team were extremely professional, courteous and careful to insure that everything was done correctly, on time and within the estimated budget. Certainly this company is on the short list for replacing the main house roof when needed. A pleasure!

After purchasing a restored pre-civil war Amish farmhouse less than 2 years ago, the roof and gutters were failing miserably from improper installation. The porch roof did not have enough pitch for shingles and was rotting away from water damage. Jessie Walker, owner of J.R. Walker roofing came out to give an estimate. He was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and informed me that the pitch of the porch could use only a burndown tar or metal roof system since shingles would be useless. He knew immediately that the entire roof and gutter system was incorrectly installed. After a few revised estimates, Jessie came in with a very good price and started work as soon as the weather permitted. They finished the whole job in less than seven days and Jessie was on site most of the time with his crew working with them. The entire crew was very friendly and extremely professional. Jessie took care of any minor additions I requested with no added cost. They did a phenomenal job with immaculate cleanup that gave me a beautiful, pristine, secure and functioning roof and gutter system that has greatly increased the value of my home far beyond the cost of their services. Jessie and his wife Alison stayed in constant communication with me from estimate to completion. It was truly a delight to work with these consummate pros and I will be contacting them when I redo the siding on my home. Don't hesitate to call J.R. Walker, they ARE the ROCK STARS of roofing! 2 thumbs way up! A+++++++!
Description of Work: Replaced all the old brown roof shingles with black GAF architectural shingles, repaired water damaged porch roof panels after old shingle removal and installed ribbed black metal roofing. Removed all old ineffectual gutters and downspouts and installed new black gutters with guards, properly pitched, and black downspouts. Also repaired damaged flashing where necessary. Removed all discarded materials and cleaned the site thoroughly on completion!

Having to get a new roof freaked me out...its a lot of money and you hear so many horror stories from other home owners. I had multiple estimates but Jesse, from JR Walker, made me feel secure and they knew what they were doing! They were proffesional, priced very reasonably, and were a joy to work with! The office kept me up to date with schedules and payments and could NOT have been any more accomidating. Not only did they get the roof done Jesse identified the overall problem of why my roof was so bad and assisted me in getting a plumber out here to correct the overall problem. Could not have been happier with how the whole thing went down.....if you have heard horror stories about getting a new roof...change your opinion and go with these guys...it will change your whole outlook on the subject!!!
Description of Work: Whole new roof. Wood was rotted and it all needed to be removed and replaced.
