It was good. They have done it in a timely manner and that's the thing I like most about them. I have used them since then and everything cost a different price. I think the pricing is good. Being close to them is the best part of them.

Brian was great. He called when he was delayed and arrived at the new time when he said he would. He inspected the roof and determined that squirrels had chewed and damaged the lead flashing around the chimney leading to water running down a rafter. He did a repair with silicone to make certain it would not leak and scheduled a time for them to come back to do a permanent repair.
Description of Work: Inspected my roof to figure out where the water was coming from that spotted my ceiling.

He came in a lot less in price than other companies and he was able to come within my budget. There were 7 crew members and they were able to get the job done in one day and they cleaned up well after themselves. He showed up with all the appropriate equipment. The work was done to my satisfaction and they were very professional during the appointment. This was is only roofer I will use.
Description of Work: They stripped and put a new roof on our home. He also built new soffits.

We have used this firm before and found them to be excellent--responsive, courteous, priced fairly, and they do an excellent job. They arrive prepared to do the job, and when finished, do a great cleanup.Time estimates for the job were spot on. They give quality for price and we find them well worth it.
Description of Work: Reshingled entire back of the house roof--northside--and did minor resetting of sheathing around the chimney. Our roof is steep, and fairly large.

Andy picked up right away when I called to ask if he could take a look at my roof which had developed a tiny leak the night before. He said he could come out the very same day. When he arrived a few hours later he told me the roof was in good shape and should last another 7 years or so (the roof is 20 years old). The leak was being caused by a pipe boot which had deteriorated. He told me he'd get back to me later in the day with an estimate to replace the boots as well as to clean moss which had grown in a few areas. He ended up calling back a few hours later to say he could come out and replace the boots in an hour (he could schedule the roof cleaning within the next few weeks). So by the end of the day on the day I called he made the repair. He carefully explained what had to be done and how to do it properly and thought to use extra shingles I had stored in the basement. He was extremely nice, courteous, prompt and professional. He provided top notch service. I would use them again in a heartbeat.
Description of Work: Repaired three pipe boots and sealed exposed nails.

see above. I am very frustrated with this web site. I do not live in Leyden MA; live in Greenfield MA 01301. Can you correct your account as I don't seem able to.
Description of Work: The old roofing was removed and replaced by a really good quality roof. A team of about 8 men were on the job for about 5 days and were very professional and hard working and seemed to be happy with their work and each other. They were very respectful and did not interfere with my daily schedule. They didn't ask for anything and I really enjoyed having them around, except for the noise, which was to be expected . I would give them an A++.

A & J provided terrific service at a competitive price. Brian, our contact, was responsive to our questions and honest with his answers. The work crew led by Jay was efficient, well managed, polite, clean and thoughtful. Having heard so many horror stories about roofers we were exceptionally diligent about finding a good one, and we think we accomplished that goal.

I keep forgetting to log in and review these guys, but their repair to my roof has been thoroughly tested by the weather now. No more leak! They were incredibly professional and very accommodating. We worked together via phone and email because I work in CT. I never actually met them in person although my husband met the workmen who did the repair. It may seem weird but with my schedule doing it this way was SO much easier for me. I'm glad it worked for them too. The only negative thing I can say about these guys is that they didn't contact me once they received my deposit. I had to call them and make sure everything was all set and to find out when they were coming. But once I was in contact with them again everything went smoothly.
Description of Work: We needed flashing repaired and shingles replaced at an odd corner on our roof over our sun room.

Very responsive to initial inquiry. Professional estimate, thoroughly done, unlike others who merely glanced at roof from ground level. They were a bit beyond the 3-4 week window they gave me for getting the work done but that was due to weather. Completed roof in one day. Immaculate clean up.

Description of Work: This was a very positive experience. The crew was hard working, polite and careful. They protected the landscaping and areas around the house and cleaned up the debris. My husband and I would not hesitate to have them do any work in and around the house. The roof was completed within 2 days . We recommend this company most highly.

Overall I was happy with the work performed, the roof looks good, doesn't leak and they did a good job with cleanup. This was one of the few companies that actually returned my calls and showed on time for an estimate. There was a drenching rain the day before the work was performed which made the ground soft and they did a reasonable job of protecting my lawn while moving their trailer around to collect debris, which I was happy with.
Description of Work: Had roof stripped and replaced, along with all flashing. Had a ridge vent installed as well, as the roof lacked ventalition. They also removed an old solar system, that no longer worked, at my request.

I called A&J for an estimate and someone came over the next day. He took a few minutes to put it together and gave me an estimate right then and there. I only got two estimates and this was the lowest. he said it would only take a half a day. he also said it would be three to four weeks before they could do it. Sure enough three to four weeks later they called and said they would be there the next day a 7:30 AM. They arrived on time and within three hours they had taken off the old roofing fixed the wood underneath, replaced the damaged wood on the side, installed flashing and some kind of under-sheeting and put the shingles on and cleaned everything up so that would would never know they had been there. And they did a very good job. I love my new roof.
Description of Work: I had my roofing replaced on my two car garage. It was quite old and I could tell some of the wood underneath was rotted. Also a tree had grown into the side of it and damaged the wood just under the roofing.

We called A&J because we had a leak in the attic. When Brian came to do the estimate, he noticed that the chimney was in dire need of repair. He bid the job to repair both problems. We were told the work would be done in 3-5 weeks. During the fourth week, we were contacted and given one day notice that the work would begin. Two men came and completed the work in about three hours. The roof was still leaking with the next rain storm. Brian agreed to send the crew back. It was another ten days or so before they returned. Not finding a specific leak, the crew sealed an area that might be causing the problem. We were told that a more extensive repair would be needed if the roof continued to leak.
Description of Work: A&J cut in new lead to our chimney and re-flashed it. They also re-flashed 5 feet of a rear section of roof and re-did the pan area.

Brian was our initial contact , giving us a proposal to tear off and re-roof our house and attached garage. He explained the process, materials to be used, roof preparation, roof system, shingles and warranty. He was in regular contact regarding start time and was most helpful in providing information regarding our defective shingles. When the job was completed, he returned to check the property. Jay, who was in charge of our re-roofing and crew, was also most helpful. The crew was great. Although the project was done later than expected due to the hurricane and "Ocsnowber" storm, the crew arrived on Tues. 1/24/12 and completed the work before noon on 1/25/12 in an efficient, neat, and professional manner.
Description of Work: Our roof was only 10 years old (30 yr. warranty) and the shingles were falling apart. A and J Improvements took off the old, defective shingles and completely re-roofed our ranch style home in one and one half days.

The job went really well. I dealt mostly with Andy's crew chief, Brian who was straight forward and always responsive. When Brian quoted the cost he took a deposit and said they were about 6 weeks out before the job could commence. Due to the amazing amount of rain we had this Fall we fell behind a slight bit. Brian always kept me informed by email as to the situation and when I could expect the job to begin. He arrived at 7:30 AM last Friday with a large crew that stripped off 3 old roofs, installed new skylights and applied a new roof finishing everything up by 5:00PM. The crew, to a man, was courteous and professional. They spread tarps over all of my gardens and bushes and left the yard as clean as they found it. When the job was finished Andy stopped by to make sure that everything was OK. I wouldn't hesitate to use him and his great crew again.
Description of Work: I needed a roof and two leaking skylights replaced on my studio building . Andy came with a fair estimate and I awarded him the job.

Just as a note, we do have a office located in Granby Ma. I do use my parents home as my mailing and business address because I would rather have my mail going to a home than to an outside mailbox at my business location. For reference my office is at 121 East State Street in Granby MA.

great! their estimate came in $500 less than another company that wanted to do a lot more to our roof to fix it. We anticipate putting on a second floor in a couple of years and plan to replace the roof at that time, so it did not make sense for us to put as much money into our roof now. They were prompt and easy to talk to. After someone came to the house to fix it the first time we still had a couple smaller leaks coming through, so I called them back and could not have had better service. At no further charge, Brian came back to the house and got back up on the roof to further plug up the leaking sites. He even thanked me for calling him back, saying it's hard to fix the leaks the first time, since water can get into such small spaces and it's important for him to see the roof when it's wet so he can have a better idea of where the water goes. After the second visit, no more leaks!
Description of Work: We had a few leaks from the roof, that were bad enough that they were coming through to the ceiling of the living areas. A and J repaired the roof to stop the leaks.

My husband was very pleased with the professionalism of this company.
Description of Work: My husband was concerned about the roof because in February he had noticed a wet spot on the ceiling of our foyer. Brian came and did a thorough job and checked the roof and the inside of the house. It had rained heavily the day before his visit so if we had a leak it would have shown up. He explained to my husband that with the severe winter we probably had an ice dam which had caused the problem.
