i am not sure of the date above - they left no paperwork. no insp. by the contractor on site. They left nails around on the ground and didn't clean up before they left. I was very upset that the work was performed when I was not at home. I had tied a downspount to a gutter and it appears they did the same!
Description of Work: the brother-in-law came by on Sun. am and said he thought what i wanted was under 149.00 - he didn't cost it out or measure he said it looks like it's about ??? feet .... I attempted to tell the company owner that I wanted another piece of gutter - he didn't answer the phone call or respond to the e-mail message. When the non-english speaking people came to do the job, they came on the wrong day. came next day and when i asked them to add a long piece they told me they forgot a tool and left my property with the gutters on the ground and the old ones down. they came the next day when I was not at home and did what the first person said was going to be done. that part is alright (I think) but i wanted to purchase more work. It is ridiculous to bother with this company and I won't bother with them again!

I did not use them. The estimate was fine, punctual, and within the same area as the other estimates I received. The estimate did not cost anything. Everything went fine. So, my overall experience with them was good. I would most likely use them in the future.

The provider apparently was unable to reach me easily by telephone. It may have been because of problems with my cell provider. So at one point he stopped by my home and asked for the address (a rental home) where I wanted the gutters installed. He said he would get back to me with information as to what would be done for the Angie's List coupon deal I had purchased. I didn't get a call so two days later I sent an email through the list asking if the job could be done. I got an email response at that point saying that the provider had tried to call multiple times. I spoke with the provider and we set up a time when the work would be done. By sheer coincidence I drove up to the house where I needed the install just as the installers were unloading the product and got a chance to discuss with the crew chief how the gutters would be placed. It seemed like there was a bit of disconnect between the contractor and the installer as the installer had a truck with his own company name which had nothing in common with James Taylor Construction. In any case the job was completed. The gutters look good, but I haven't observed them during a rain storm yet so I can't say whether they are correctly installed and have the right amount of slant to drain properly. The crew left an empty "Salsitas" bag in my driveway for me to clean up.

This is a very professional group that does excellent work. The only fault I could find is that they were a bit overwhelmed with business at the time we scheduled them, so they missed some of their committed dates. In the end, though, they did quality work and in a reasonable amount of time.

His crew was extremely hardworking, on time, neat and apparently very competent as they finished the roofing chore within three days. The yard and premises were left very neat and Mr. Woody is returning to go over the yard another time to be certain that no other debris is left. I am very satisfied with the work and the quality of the job as it looks exactly as I hoped it would. The price quoted was 1/3 of the amount quoted by Sears Home repair services, even after several Sears so called "special discounts."
Description of Work: Mr. Woody provided an estimate within a day or two of my call after reviewing our job. He also brought over roofing shingle samples for my decision as to type and color. He replaced our house roof, after removing the existing shingles and underlayment,.

Excellent service, prompt and efficient. They were able to complete the entire roof in one day, and did a thorough job in cleaning up afterwards. Of the various roofing companies I looked at, this was the only one that provided detailed information on what to expect on the day of installation -- very reassuring to someone who had not been through this before. Ed was very helpful and didn't try to rush us into a decision.

Theyr'e awesome. It costed me more than the Big Deal was but the roof was larger than what the deal had in it. They came in. They did the work for two and a half days. It rained one day and they covered everything up. They were very nice, very quick, very clean, and very friendly. I would absolutely use them in the future. I would refer them, too.

After being informed by insurance that our roof had sustained hail damage I called James Taylor based on good reviews from Angie's and the big deal promo they had. Mr Ed Woody came by and was very unassuming and clearly communicated the choices. His estimate was about $800 less than the insurance cover and he was willing to work with me to apply the difference as a discount towards other work (siding/painting) which was a good incentive (though I eventually went with another vendor for siding/paint because of scheduling issues) The roof work itself was scheduled and completed in a day with the following as proposed and without any hindrances. Remove and dispose of existing roof (1 layer). Install 15 pound tarpaper. Install Ice and Water shield around all protrusions. Install starter strip around roof perimeter. Install limited lifetime architectural shingles. Install new pipe collars. Replace any/all square vents. Install shingle over ridge vent across all peaks. Clean roof and grounds of all excess roof material. Roof looks great and would highly recommend James Taylor / Ed Woody for your roofing needs based on both price and quality.

It was an Angie's List Big Deal that I purchased. They did seem to do a good job, we'll see after 20 years if they did a good job. But we had no problems with them. So far, so good. The price was reasonable.

I had an Angie's List deal for $4k for 2k square feet of roofing. Because of the pitch of the roof, it ended up being a bit more at ~$6k. James' folks removed and disposed of existing roof (1 layer), reused existing drip edge (suggested by James, save me money which I appreciated), install Ice and Water Shield around protrusions and perimeter, installed starter strip around roof perimeter, installed limited lifetime architectural shingles, hand nailed around perimeter to keep nails form puncturing bottom side of soffit, installed new pipe collars, reflashed and sealed chimney, cleaned roof, gutters, and grounds of all excess roof material, installed shingle over ridge vent across all peaks, installed titanium underlayment in replace of tarpaper. The team showed up early, worked all day, and left a very clean worksite. I was very impressed with the speed and professionalism of the staff. An earlier repair job left nails protruding through the perimeter - no nails were visible after the entire roof was replaced by James' crew. I couldn't be happier with my new roof.
Description of Work: Replaced my old, discolored, leaking roof. We have a 1922 Craftsman bungalow, so the roof is a very visible architectural element. Significantly improved the curb appeal and integrity of the house.

A section of shingles came off my roof and landed on the deck. We were having a LOT of rain and wind, and I was nervous about the bald spot on my roof and the extensiveness of the damage. I purchased this house two years ago and the 13-year-old roof passed inspection; however, I did not know if I needed a new roof or a repair. I consulted Angies List and was impressed with what I read about James Taylor Construction, so I called the number listed (it was either Wed or Thurs), which was that of Edward Woody. He returned my call at the end of the day and told me that he was out of town through the weekend, but he would notify his partner to get in touch with me the next day. I did not receive a call, so I called Mr Woody again. He did not answer nor did he return my call. Today is Tuesday, and he still has not responded. I am disappointed since the reviews I had read were favorable.

We apologize for the inconvenience of having to call another company for the repair. Although we do our best to respond to all consumer needs our small company gets overwhelmed at times, especially when the owner goes on a much needed vacation.

The job was mostly completed but it took quite a long time and we had to lodge several complaints along the way. The first problem was the fact that they drew grid on the wall to line things up and left it that way. Next they had a problem with one of the drawers where they stripped some fasteners such that the drawer barely held together. Instead of saying, "we're sorry, we'll fix this and bring it back." We had to call them up and ask if they intended to leave it like that at which point they seemed unaware of the problem. My main reason to have them do it wasn't because I lack the skills, I just don't have the time. I know with absolute certainty that they knew there was a problem with the draw. The first response to the complaint about the grid lines was, "We assumed you'd paint the wall." When I insisted that this be cleaned up, one of the original two men came back and grudgingly cleaned things up. I'm still not satisfied with the job. There were other problems too. For example, there were some metal rods that needed to be cut to fit. I don't think there's one cut that's not crooked and raggedy. They were very nice people and not completely incompetent. but there were some problems with this job. I have no doubt that they could handle something simpler.
Description of Work: Provider was to install some modular closet shelves and such that we'd purchased which was sized for the closet in question.

Ed Woody's crew came a day earlier than originally planned, which was great for me. They were very professional and besides the expected thumping on the roof, went about their business with no need for me to do anything. When they were done, my new roof looked perfect and my yard looked as if they were never there; not a scrap of debris or damage anywhere. These guys are fabulous.
