Needing a new roof but not knowing anything about a metal roof we saw Kevin Artons ad in a local newspaper. We called and he came to our home the next day. With his son, he inspected our roof & gave us a price. We asked a million questions which he answered with total knowledge even telling us things about a metal roof we wouldn't know to ask. To put us more ease about the roof & the process of installing the roof, he asked the metal roofing rep who works for White's Lumber Yard in Pulaski, NY, Chuck Woodward, to talk to us. We also talked with 4 references he gave us to verify his work. They couldn't praise him enough. Then just before we hired him, Kevin called us with the good news he was given a discount on the metal & was passing the savings on to us instead of keeping it for himself... an honest man. He started the roof on a Monday & was done by Thursday. The job site was cleaned up everyday before he left & we are more than happy with the job he did. After hearing he did other jobs beside roofing from his references, we asked for a bid on replacing a sliding glass door. We will have him do this in the spring. We would highly recommend his services to anyone who needed work done around the home. He is fair & knows how to do a great deal of remodeling. We would gladly have him back to do other work for us.

Lousy. he left me with an open hole in my main bathroom. It is now October and I still do not have a shower in my main bathroom as I had to reorder the right size shower unit and wait for it to come in which takes 3-4 weeks. Also, hiring a new contractor wasn't easy as they do not want to start where someone else left off.
Description of Work: I hired this man to remove an existing tiled shower whose walls had started to leak. He showed up on time to give me an estimate and provided me an estimate in writing the next day. So far, so good. He measured the shower and advised me what size solid surface shower enclosure to order from Lowe's. He arrived on the appointed day once the new shower was delivered. He demolitioned the tiled shower and removed the debris. The next day he arrived on time to start the installation and realized the $3,000 shower he had me order was too long and not wide enough to fit in the assigned space. OOPS! At this point he told my wife that he need to talk to me and was going down to my office to talk to me. He proceeded to pull out of my driveway in the opposite direction! When I arrived home that evening I tried to call his cell and home phones and all I got was voicemail. He did not show up the next day to finish the installation. I called his cell and home phones for two days and still all I got was voicemail. He, to this day, has not ever returned my calls. I had to return the $3000 shower unit to Lowe's which they reluctantly took back for store credit. Luckily I paid him no money up front. This outfit I'm afraid is not at all that talented in doing remodeling. All I can advise the next homeowner is ....BEWARE!
