Description of Work: They demolished and hauled away our old roof-top deck to get at the leaking roof below. They installed a new brushed-on membrane roof coating to three coats. Extreme heat from the sun caused the last coat to boil and run before it had set, requiring the removal of the whole new membrane. They did that with professionalism and repeated the whole process. Pat McTavish was a pleasure to work with as were all the members of his crew. He researched materials and drainboard systems to install over the membrane so the deck could drain properly. They were clean and neat throughout the job and took substantial care to protect our floors and rugs. Communication was excellent throughout the project. I recommend them highly for any roofing work.

Mr. McTavish was kind enough to return my call nearly immediately after the phone service took my message. We needed a rough estimate for a roof replacement on a house we wanted to purchase. He was able to give me a quote quickly and talk me through any questions and concerns I had regarding the property. We did not purchase the house afterall but really appreciated his professional insight. Would call him again in the future.

I had a relatively small project- some repairs that my homeowners was requiring. Pat was the only one who could get to my house for a quote and to get the work done before my deadline. He was extremely responsive, and he even said he would come back periodically and check on the condition of the roof. Definitely recommend.
Description of Work: Some shingles replaced and some asphalt, etc. replaced.

Patrick Mctavish was the contractor picked from a group of 6 who provided estimates. He arrived on time for the estimate appointment and was friendly, courteous and knowledgeable. He listened to problems and concerns regarding the job and offered to break the job into portions to be completed at different times, making it financially feasible for the work to be done. Detailed estimates were provided within a week during the busy summer season. Photos were taken of the areas to be replaced and repaired. His office called ahead of time to schedual the installation of the scaffolding. When the work started, his employees were always prompt, courteous and professional. Aside from the work contracted, they did on-site fabrication of small missing pieces of the historic molding. They even took the time to assist me while I was painting the window trim on the house, by providing more platform boards for the scaffolding. They were also careful to let me know where they would be working so that no debris fell into the wet paint. The job site was completely cleaned up and the end of each workday and all tools and materials were secured. Their work was excellent. Just a fantastic crew of people! Patrick came and inspected the work upon completion and provided photos of the work. Great job done. He even left the scaffolding up until I finished painting, WOW!
Description of Work: Replacement of historical gabled and mansard slate roofs and copper gutters, and repairs to damaged portion of flat roof.

He gave us an estimate for two parts (winter and spring). He gave me an estimate for the first part first. When he came in the spring he had estimated the project for $900, when I received the estimate on paper it was doubled.

The work was excellent and I would definitely use them again. The company specializes in slate roofs. Each day Mr. McTavish took pictures of the work so we would not have to climb up on the roof to inspect it. He also took pictures of the damaged wood.
Description of Work: Replaced metal sheeting on sloping expanse of a 72-year old slate roof with copper (thus the large expense). Replaced broken and damaged slate. Installed new copper snow guards. Replaced a small amount of wood that had water damage.

He was very good. A prior roofer before we even bought the house had installed a new roof over the existing roof, which is apparently allowed once. He had not correctly adjusted the strips where they join the house and water was getting in there and causing some damage to the underlying surface and making the tiles come loose. He was excellent and very responsive. I wasn't here most of the time and he didn't need to get in the house. He diagnosed the problem quickly and seemed to have a reasonable price. He was quick. He showed up and did the work in a day. He was in and out. I thought the price seemed fair, but I didn't have a lot to compare it to. I only talked to him on the phone.
Description of Work: We used PJ Mctavish for roofing repairs. He replaced the underlying surface, tiles and he fixed that metal piece.

It went very well. First Mr. McTavish quoted one figure after looking at my roof while my wife was home. Then he came back on Sunday and I got on the roof with him. He quoted a lower figure. When the work was done, his time and materials paperwork showed a higher figure than even the first quote, but he stuck with the second quote. I really won't know until next year when we get melting snow if the work he did fixed everything well, but it looks fine. I'm confident they did good work. Mr. M. said he might be more expensive than others, but said it's because he doesn't cut corners. I believe him.
Description of Work: The McTavish company redid the flashing around our chimney, and fixed up roofing tiles where they leaked. Mr. McTavish and his folks determined that the rest of my roof was still good.

He was excellent to work with. After the roof was installed, he came back out when I had a problem with squirrels nesting on the roof and sealed up the hole where they were getting in. He also followed up on a problem I was having with water for the air conditioning unit dripping on the roof. He didn't charge me for either follow up visit.
Description of Work: PJ Mctavish installed my new roof. They removed my old metal room and replaced it with a new one. I live in a large duplex.
