I called United Construction on June 9, 2022 to get a leak on my roof repaired. The guy I spoke with on the phone insisted on coming out, throwing a tarp on the roof and get me a quote for a new roof. When I explained to him that I do not need a new roof (my roof is only 14 years old; I have another 5+ years) and only need him to seal the area around a vent pipe, he seemed to lose interest. He sent a kid out on June 15 that looked like a teenager to inspect the roof. He did not seal around the vent pipe, which would have taken less than 5 minutes to do. When he came down, he asked for my email address to send me a quote for the repair. He then left, and I have not heard from them since. It has now been almost 3.5 months. If United Construction cannot trust themselves to do the small jobs, then I am not going to trust them to do the big jobs. You guys lost out on thousands of dollars. I will not recommend you to anyone.

Everything went very well from the first call to completion. Estimator was very responsive, professional and helpful. Project manager and foreman were very good also. The men who did the work were professional, considerate of our home, polite and did a great job and great cleanup. We have an estimate for vinyl fencing installation and will use United Construction again for that, in the spring.
Description of Work: Had 2 layers of roofing removed, some plywood replaced and a new roof installed on the front of our house.

The crew arrived and started the work at the time agreed. When the old roofing was almost removed, the foreman of the crew, Dave Cook, approached me to show the condition of the old roof base. I knew that we may have to address that after years of small leaks that had occurred. Dave told me what my options were and how they would affect the long term results and we decided to lay down a new decking over the existing one. I was promptly quoted a price and put in touch with Becca at the office to authorize the Change Order. I had to leave for work after that feeling the I was in good hands. When I came home from work the new decking was almost completely installed and the base layer was soon to follow. I saw how careful the base layer was rolled out to eliminate any creases. It was getting late and the forecast was for rain to come in later that night. Dave told me that they would stay until either finished or at least the roof would be flashed and water tight. When it got dark, we found some headlights for the guys to were so that they could see well enough. The roof was made water tight with one bit of roofing to be adhered. There was not enough flashing in the trailer to finish without a seam and Dave wanted to finish it with a single piece. I agreed. The weather turned to rain and clod for the next week and was not able to finish until the following wee. During that time either Dave or Becca would contact me every day to let me know what the plans were so that I was not in the dark. I really appreciated that. Overall my wife and I are very please with the professionalism, quality of work, cleanup, and communication. We will definitely use them again and recommend the to anyone.

Very impressed with United. They came the same day I called to give me what proved to be a very accurate estimate. Once I signed the contract they quickly followed up with a date and even adjusted the time to suit my schedule. Caleb introduced himself, did a thorough and quick job, and explained everything, walking me through what he'd done and showing photos. I would not hesitate to use them for a larger job in future!

Retracting earlier reviews which were premature and trusting. Almost 12 months later, UCR's new roofing system continues to leak - with leaks sprouting from any number of locations.Suggestions to locate the cause were ignored - we've since hired professional inspectors to investigate.Since our original review, UCR has stated they believe they've been more than patient trying to complete the job to our satisfaction. However, giving up, as they've written, indicates UCR was never capable of doing they job they were hired to. Reaching out, as they phrased it, consists of nothing more than a barrage of home visits and phone calls - while the repairs and replacement they've attempted continue to degrade physically.

[Member Name Removed], we are also extremely frustrated by your cathedral ceiling issue and hurt that you have chosen to negate your original review. We feel we have been diligent and responsive to all your concerns, having always scheduled a visit and sent a technician anytime you have contacted us, and always conducted an office follow up call after any services. We have made every attempt to amend the situation and have attempted to contact you multiple times to follow-up on the situation; unfortunately to no avail. When others would've given up, we have continued to work for you. we would be happy to come back out again and look forward to scheduling this with you once we are able to speak with you over the telephone.

Very professional, discussed all repairs found upon on tearoff not on estimate. The project manager reviewed all work after the job was completed and discussed everything before the final payoff. Exceptional cleanup, even checked for nails with a magnet and covered up the hot tub. I will definitely hire this company again.

I was so impressed with everyone I worked with from start to finish. Earlier this year we had someone come and do a patch job on our roof which was in awful condition - they didn't try to sell me a new roof, encouraged us to get by for as long as we could and were upfront about what they were doing, how much it would cost and how bad our roof really was. We finally took the plunge after some bad leaks and had Jim come out and give us an estimate, he explained everything in detail and gave us a phenomenal price. When the crew came over to do the job I was amazed - they were so efficient and quick!! David, Miguel and Teamo kept us updated every step of the way and ray delivered some not so great news like a pro. We've recommended these guys to everyone we know - they are trustworthy, fast, and do amazing quality work. You will not regret your decision to hire these guys to do a job.

United Construction and Remodeling was fantastic. They were professional and very kind. They were timely and followed up with me when they said they would. The job was completed two weeks after the quote was completed. Other companies gave me quotes and didn't even come out to the property. United Construction walked with me and explained the process, they took measurements, and they even walked the area with me after the job was complete. I will absolutely hire them again.
Description of Work: I had a 6ft vinyl privacy fence installed. I also had 16 feet of chain link fence installed and a chain link gate.

Very well. The roof looks great and performed great until about a year later. A small leak appeared at the skylight. He came and not only resealed between the skylight and the shingles, he also put new sealant on the skylight itself, though he had no obligation to do that. It's been perfect ever since.

t went very well. They were very friendly, very responsive, and worked with my tight schedule. Their work is very affordable. Ray was recommended to me by a friend and I'm glad I called him.
Description of Work: Ray and his guys helped me get my house ready for sale by taking care of a few things that I couldn't do. They did a great job helping paint part of the exterior that I couldn't reach. They installed a light switch, new light fixture and wired it. They even repaired a few roof shingles that were lifting.

Ray was very prompt, and as always friendly and professional. He would not accept payment and just asked to keep him in mind for future work for myself and friends/family. He is a very reliable and honest contractor, with excellent worksmanship. I would recommend him (and have) to anyone.
Description of Work: Ray came by to inspect my roof for a leak in one of the valleys. He inspected and patched the opening with caulk.
