Clark Builders Inc

After contacting initially via email on the weekend, Clark Builders called that Monday and made the repair on the Tuesday.

All went well. Any problems were addressed and resolved.

The roof on my home and garage were replaced, however, the chimney flashing was not replaced, nails were left everywhere, their equipment made a whole in the newly-paved driveway, gutters were not cleaned after the work was completed. We paid additionally for chimney repair and were told it was completed, but when we went on the roof to check, it was not. They did come and repair it after our call. Workmen left their beer bottles on our front lawn.

All the repairs were taken care of and no more leaks.

It was very satisfactory. We recommended them. It was average. There was a small issue but they took care of it.

They didn't fix the problem. They claim they fixed it, but it still leaks. When we told them that it wasn't fixed, they didn't really seem to care, they just wanted us to pay them for the work that they did.

Very well, leon is excellent, friendly and a great worker.

I did not like them. They came here to evaluate something for me and they were really off. They weren’t helpful at all. They said it was my windows, but it was not my windows it was the mortar on my bricks. And they advertise we find leaks.

I was very impressed with Clark Builders. I found a few roofers in the area on Angie's List and gave them a call. I knew Clark Builders was different as soon as my call was answered by their courteous secretary rather than a machine or cell phone. She took all of my information so that I did not need to be home for the free estimate and they were able to come out the very next day. They gave me a roofing package with various colors and options for my roof. Mr. Hogan explained exactly what needed to be done to keep my roof in compliance with NJ Code. I received my full written contract with a 3 year guarantee and didn't have to pay a penny up front. Now I have my beautiful new roof with no more leaks. I thank the people over at Clark Builders for being professional and delivering quality work as promised. The construction industry is often scary, but they made me feel comfortable about my investment on my home. I tell everyone that I can about Clark Builders and I am glad to hopefully help them with this review. Great family owned company.

John told me that they would provide an estimate on Tuesday December 16th. Never sent estimate. Called me on December 19th and said they were awaiting a bid from the state and after winning that bid, they would not be able to do the work at the church. I told them they acted unprofessionally and they should have not told me they would provide an estimate. He said it was a mix up with his boss. I told him another customer had given them an F for not providing an estimate when they said they would. I will never call them again.

Earlier in the year, we had some minor roof leaks. I tried multiple roofers and no one wanted the job. No one would even come to the house or even return a call. When I called Clark Builders, he came gave a reasonable estimate and did the work as promised. After Sandy , we lost a section of shingles 4 x 20 feet. We were down to the bare wood. I called. Clark builders and being repeat customers, they came almost the next day. They put up a temporary barrier ( since it was going to rain) immediately and did the final repair in about a week. They matched the shingle color and you would never even know we had an issue. When we need another roof, or have an issue, Clark builders is the only roofer I would call.

I was having problems with my roof, and they looked at it and explained what was wrong. They fixed it and I no loner have any problems. They were clean, neat and courteous. They were exactly what you would want them to be like.

I contacted Clark Builders on the week ending 9/10/11. They did not get back to me until the 15th of September. I could understand that it took a little longer due to all the damage from hurricane Irene. I was told when they finally did cal the following week on a Thursday that someone would be here the following week on a Monday or Tuesday and that they would leave an estimate in the mailbox. Tueday passed and nobody showed up. I callled Wednesday and they said Definately some would be here the next day. Today is Friday and still nobody showed up. When I first called I explained that this was a referal from my neighbor across the street. I would never recommend these peope to anyone and dont understand how people like this get on Angies List.

Responsive and professional estimate delivered by the owner via phone and followed up via email promptly. Price was not exceptional however I like the professionalism. While the work was delayed a week from the initial schedule due to weather, they got it done at the next opportunity and successfully eliminated the several small flashing leaks that were the reason for the call initially.

They were promt and courteous. I suggested originally for a new roof, but gave me a patch. we aer about ready to call someone else. there was no response to our last complaint in Nov.

I contacted at least five roofing companies for estimates on removing my old roof and installing a new flat roof over my front porch. Clark Builders (aka JDK Builders Inc) quickly set up a time for them to come and look at my home in order to provide a written estimate. The earliets available time they had would not work for me, but Frank Todisco assured that even if I was not home, they would leave a yellow card indicating that the visit was done and that they would follow up. Sure enough, they came when they said they would and left the card saying the estimate would be ready in a few days. Frank called me a few days later and e-emiled me the estimate as well. We went over everything and I felt very good about Frank and the estimate, even though I thought the price was very high for the small roof over my porch. . My only concern was they they used a GAF product that was not glued down, but adhered with a torch. I had read online and in some home improvement books, that most new flat roofing products are glued down instead becasue of the hazards of having open torch flames on a roof with wood under it. After getting two more estimeates for 1/3 the price, I decided that the $2,440.00 was too much to spend. I do believe that you get what you pay for, but I could not afford this price at the time and went with another roofer. They seem very professional and I would definitely consider them for future work.

They came and I was not home and repaired the roof. The roof still leaked and they came back out to fix this since they stood behind their work. About a month later we had a bad windstorm and I did use them again to replace the shingles.

They responded quickly to my request for a quote. Dennis Hogan called me with a price. He decribed the work they were going to do in detail. I had also asked at the time of the quote that they check my roof and let me know if any other repairs were necessary. Dennis indicated that the shingling and vent were good on the roof. He also said the flange on the vents were probably original to the house but were in excellent condition. He gave me a quote to seal the flanges and chimney. I appreciate that he didn't try to sell me services I didn't need and would gladly do business with him again.

Work was done in a timely matter, cleaned up fairly well. They returned twice to correct permit items the town demanded be corrected which was minor caulking that was missed. Problem was when I called them back about a year later they came and looked at the siding an area had shifted and is no longer properly in place. They have refused to fix it, even with an offer to pay for the repair. I would never recommend or use them again. I have called the owner numerous times trying to get them to correct it and have received promises of someone coming out and looking to decide what to do and nothing ever got done. Problem still exists 3 years later!

They came out quickly and finished the repair within an hour. They gave a couple of options and they were good.

I had a pretty good experience with them. They are very good in communicating and explaining things to me. Their prices are good. The quality was good and comparable. They are very responsive.

They did an excellent roofing job on another house of mine. So for this house when they came in with the best price my decision was easy. They worked with me on minimizing the time that the dumpster blocked the driveway for the tenants. President Dennis Hogan was very accessible - he returned calls promptly and was easy to work with and was committed to my satisfaction. I watched the workers for most of the job and everything was done precisely. The only glitch was the workers threw a lot of the gutter guards out believing they were old (even though they were fine with me). But I spoke with Dennis and new ones were put on free of charge. We have had a few rains and no leaks!

I called about a leak in my wall around a window. I described what I thought was the problem, an AC window unit on the second floor above the window that was somehow dripping in to either the window or the wall. The estimator told me that I needed a new window and that would fix the problem. I was skeptical but he reassured me that's what I needed. The estimate was high for just a window but since they agreed to take care of any rotted wood around it, I agreed. I was fooled though. The window is fine but all the inside wall material around it is rotting and wet. I can poke my finger right through to the outside wall. The caulking around the window is holding on to nothing. They did not fix the leak and told me it was probably the AC unit above the window, that is exactly what I told them at the beginning. When I called to ask about what was done and to complain about what was not done, I was told they checked my roof and the siding and found no leak. Great, but I had to call to find that out. Their bill was promptly received in the mail but did not include a report about what was done (and not done) and what the findings were. So now I have a new very expensive window and my leak problem is not solved. Oh and the rotting material inside my house, that is "interior work" and they don't do that. Finding solutions outside their boundary doesn't interest them, customer satisfaction doesn't interest them, charging a premium price for replacing a small window does seem to interest them. Lesson learned. Clark Builders was recommended by a friend and rated high on Angie's List but I would not call them again.

I asked them how I would know they even did work since they were there when I was not home, so they said to wait until the first major torrential rain fall we had and then I could see that they did work and pay them then. I called this company after our rain storm and paid them for their great work. We had no leaks, so their work was good. I was totally happy with them and it was worth every penny I spent to have them work for me. I was so impressed with them that I am having them come back to do some siding work.

This company has given me nothing but headaches. Throughout the whole time I worked with them it was nothing but trouble. Within the warranty they gave me, my roof began leaking again and they did not fix anything. They left it leaking. I do not recommend this company to any one; they scammed me out of $5000.00.
