Contacted and purchased coupon thru Angies List. Bryan contacted us within 2 days. Work was started within 2 weeks. We were visited and given color choices on siding. Bryan and his crew were pleasant to work with, answering any questions we had. The coupon was for $5999 for the siding and we also purchased covering the fascia and sofita which was not included in coupon offer. The crew was punctual, professional, and cleaned up after themselves. We are happy with completed project.

I'm happy with the gutter and downspout replacement. The crew was professional and addressed my special requests for hooking up some rainbarrels. My only suggestion for improvement related to scheduling the job, in which one day/time was agreed to and then it had to be rescheduled.

It went very smoothly. The team at James Taylor Construction worked hard to supply samples and answer questions in a timely manner. I thought the inclement weather and snow gridlocks would cause serious delays but the roof went up very quickly after my initial contact. The owner followed through on one pipe that caused a minor problem and came back to check on it again and get it painted.
Description of Work: The team Installed new architectural roof in one day. The house looked so good that the plumber thought I had re-painted. I am delighted with the results!

Purchased coupon thru Angies List. Coupon was $5999 for siding but we added wrapping fascia and sofits which was additional $1159. We were contacted by Bryan S. within 2 days to make arrangements. Work was started within a two weeks. He was very pleasant and helpful as was his crew. They put in some long days to finish before rains. They were punctual and cleaned up after themselves each day of the install. We had one minor flaw which they came back and corrected within a week.. I would use them again. They also tried to help with a roof runoff problem by putting up a rain deflector at no cost.

We were very happy with this gutter installation. Our home previously had no gutters, so this was a new installation. We contacted the company after purchasing an Angie's List deal, and a representative scheduled a visit within a couple of days according to our schedule. He gave us a quote at that visit, and we made an appointment for installation. The installer was punctual and professional, and very efficient. We have a relatively small home, so installation only took a few hours. There were a couple of quirks with our roofline, but the installer came up with creative solutions to ensure proper drainage. They also accommodated our requests so that we could install a couple of rain barrels. I would recommend this provider.

He came to the door, asked for my e-mail address and then left ! I called him to see if he had forgotten his ladder or what. Said, "how can you tell me if I need a new roof if you don't get on it?" Didn't get any kind of response from that VM I left for 4 days. Will not be using this company.

We were called to do a roof estimate. One of our owners thought it was a replacement quote which does not require us getting on the roof. He did not have a ladder with him. The following day (a Friday) he returned, took pictures of the problems on the homeowners roof, and sent those to the homeowner. He then followed up with a quote on Sunday. We 're not sure why the homeowner does not believe she was properly served for a repair quote?

His response time was very poor. I thought I'd hear from him, and I waited to hear from him. I emailed him, and didn't hear back. Finally, I called him. He said he would come out right now, and I said that I couldn't have him over right now (I was at work). I described what I needed done (gutters on my pergola), told him my address, and said that there would be some extra gutter sso we'd need meet. Unfortunately, he came out while I was gone, against my wishes, and did the work. I would guess he shorted me about 8-10 linear feet of gutters installed. I would not use him again due to his unprofessionalism.

Response from James Taylor Construction Inc
When big deals run, original response times can vary based on volume. We suggest that all consumers that buy big deals from any company exercise patience as the company running the big deal can be overwhelmed. The owner spoke to the customer on the phone. She was not there but he was near her house so he said he would go ahead and go by which she agreed. She told him exactly where she wanted the gutters. The customer was notified of a start date and JTC came when the installment was planned. The gutters and downspouts were Installed exactly to her specifications. As far as being 8-10 ft. short, JTC did what was asked and actually tore down a gutter and a downspout and disposed it which is normally an upcharge. We did not charge for that service. The coupons are not prorated. There is no discount if it is 42 ft. instead of 50 ft. as they are purchased through Angie's List.

James was great. He was responsive to my phone calls and we often emailed back and forth to communicate. He first came out to look at the windows I wanted done and since the deal was for three windows and he only did two for me, he reduced the priced. However, because our HOA requires that those nice clean white windows be painted the current color of our units' trim which I don't even like, he had to charge me more for the sandpapering and two different coats of paint needed. He also painted the trim on my screens. Still it was a reasonable cost. James did the work himself and was very thorough in everything he did. He cleaned up everything and vacuumed after he was done and rehung my blinds and curtains. He's very bright and I enjoyed talking with him and finding out more about his family and life. I hope I didn't distract him too much! I asked him about some other possible jobs in my house and he's looking into that. I'd recommend James Taylor at James Taylor Construction any day.

This was the best service ever. My husband is a general contractor and usually when I (the wife) hire my own people to do a job, my husband has complaints about it. Not with James Taylor construction. He did such a good job that my husband was blown away. They were on time on budget and extremely professional. Their work was superior and they left the yard very clean. After the job was done, they sent someone to walk the yard and make sure that all the little nails were picked up. I would use them again in a heartbeat. We are considering windows soon, and I plan on giving them a call.

We thought the Big Deal for a roof for $4,399 sounded too good to be true, and sure enough, it was. The estimate came in at an ADDITIONAL $5,100 which puts it in line with other estimates we've had, so its not a deal at all. I wish we hadn't had to put $4,399 on our credit card just to get another estimate that's no better than the others.

If the roof had been 2000 square feet it is a good deal. Your roof was 4600 square feet. The material alone is close to $5000. The not so fine print clearly states the roof size to be 2000 square feet or less. We do not accept a C for a grade as we were very professional and quick to get you a quote.

I didn't bother to call him back because I didn't want to argue with him. I also didn't want to do anything that would make me feel uncomfortable. Having someone on my roof without knowing if they are insured makes me nervous. What if they injury themselves while giving you the estimate? Things happen. I just joined Angie's list yesterday. I think I will just look for someone else. I feel like this guy didn't want to be bothered. I hope I have better luck next time.
Description of Work: The professionalism of the gentlemen who called me was horrible. I was glad to receive his unexpected call for a visit within 15 minutes because I really need the work done. After confirming he would be in my area shortly I hung up. I called back to ask him to bring a copy of insurance and he seemed offended. He told me he does $2 million dollars of work per year. I said okay....bring a copy of your insurance. I asked if he was getting up on the roof and he said yes but just to assess the job. I told him if he is getting up on the roof I would need to see copy of insurance. I have had bad experiences in the past with contractors/repair people and I am very cautious. His response was the he was scheduled to complete $2000 worth of work that day and really didn't need this extra job. I was shocked he would reply that way considering that all the businesses that use this service know customers can place comments on the site. He might be a great contractor but his conversation and professionalism was pretty bad. His comments made me feel like he was better than me or that he was doing me a favor. Especially the last comment he made before he hung up on me. If he was busy and didn't want the job. He could of just said so. That would have been fine. To think that it was all over a request for a copy of insurance....was I asking too much?

Response from James Taylor Construction Inc
This homeowner was informed that the estimate could be performed by the ground and it would not be necessary to go on the roof. She was however, insistent that we provide a copy of the insurance just to show up. This is the first time this has ever been requested in 25 years of business. Because it is required by the insurance companies to list homeowners as the holder of insurance we do not carry copies around with us. Any contractor can create a fake insurance form on any laptop and present that as proof of insurance. We as a company have been fooled by those docs ourselves when dealing with subs. Therefore, because we saw this homeowner as potentially unreasonable, we declined to offer a quote. The conversation was professional. We as a private company have the right to refuse service at any time.

We had a great experience with the folks from James Taylor Construction. They replaced our roof and gutters. Since we had a 'big deal' we got a fantastic price. We were able to compare their estimate against those of other local roofers for additional services we requested (such as drip edge) and James Taylor Construction was much more reasonably priced. Sometimes it took a few days to get callbacks, but it was a minor annoyance as we knew we would eventually hear back.. Ed even came back several weeks after the job to give me a copy of the invoice so I could get a rebate from the shingle manufacturer. If I need services these guys provide, I will be calling back!!
