At Taylor Construction we provide each and every home owner a good product, fair pricing, and superior service. We believe in the "soft sell" approach theres no hassling, haggling and definitely no pressure, we simply come to your home leave a estimate and let you decide if we are the right company for the job. The success of this belief is apparent in fact a large portion of our business comes from referrals. At Taylor Construction each crew is required to adhere to strict protocol on how each job is done. At Taylor Construction we are very selective in hiring new crew members, and all crew members are trained and supervised so that the homeowners get the quality of work that they expect, and are promised. (Note: Always check with contractors insurance company when hiring for a roofing Job. "Not all contractors are insured for roofing due to the high cost of roofing Insurance in New York State, due to the scaffolding law." In fact most contractors tell their insurance company that they do not do any roofing at all to keep their insurance premium at a minimum. Be sure your covered and call contractors insurance company and ask, is my contractor insured to do roofing ? You will be surprised to find that a large percentage of contractors are NOT insured to do roofing.
Taylor Construction and General Contracting did a wonderful job on my new roof. The owner was personally involved throughout the project providing supervision to his team on the work being done. I was very impressed with the care he took in protecting my landscaping and structures from damage. I was also impressed by how he went out of his way to ensure the job site was clean and safe from nails and other debris. I highly recommend Taylor Construction and General Contracting.

Excellent. Mr. Taylor was on the job site throughout the work. Workers were polite and very professional. We were impressed with how long they worked each day. I was pleased with how the workers cleaned up my property at the conclusion of the job. This company does excellent work and is in high demand. Mr. Taylor came out when he learned my roof was leaking. He tarped my roof until he could return to complete the job. I would hire this company again.

They did an amazing job. Mr Taylor met us at camp to see what the damage was and to what extent. The job was more than met the eye, which he cautioned us about, but did an outstanding job making comprehensive and attractive repairs. Made everything look exactly as it had looked previously on the outside. Replaced window and updated interior paneling. Could not be more pleased with the work. Also, did some roof repair and replaced a floodlight.

I called the morning of 1/2/17, got voice mail, and left a message. Even though many people were observing Monday as the New Years Holiday, Bob Taylor got back to me within 2 hours. I was happy with his response time, but he apologized for not getting back to me faster, because he was at the dentist. Bob came right over to my house, checked out the situation, and gave me advice on a couple different things I could do right away that he thought would get rid of the ice/snow build up (popping a rain gutter holding the ice on, and using a heating tape). So we're going to try those steps first. Next Spring, I plan to call him back for an estimate on getting flashing on the roof as a further preventative measure. I was really impressed with how helpful Bob was, and he was obviously knowledgeable about roofs, spotting the problem with mine as soon as he saw it.
Description of Work: I have a leak in my roof at a problematic spot where two roofs come together, and ice/snow gets backed up. The leak has caused damage to the ceilings of two rooms in my house. I called Taylor Construction to get help both in the near-term -to prevent additional damage- and to get advice on a longer-term more permanent solution.

Received original estimate on 6-6-2014 along with fore others but due to sticker shock the job was put off until 2015. This bid was not the highest or lowest but vibe from Mr. Taylor made me go with my gut feeling and for the first time in years I was not disappointed after hiring a local contractor. The work was accomplished in a professional manner, the price was as originally quoted, I do not believe the whole process could have gone smoother.
Description of Work: Stripped old shingles, gutters and drip edge. Fixed problems left by original builder as discovered. Replaced roof, fixed plywood, replaced drip edge and installed ice & water shield.

Bob and his crew showed up when they said they would, stayed as long as required (14+ hours the first day), worked professionally and took time to answer any/all questions I had. Job was a little more extensive than originally thought due to condition of plywood sheathing and a few rafters, went from 2 day job to 5. Bob and crew checked/double checked each aspect of the job and spent hours scouring the yard for any debris/nails. Overall I am extremely satisfied with Taylor Construction and would not hesitate to recommend them.

If scheduling had permitted, Bob Taylor would have had my business as I felt very comfortable with him and appreciated his insight. He was honest with me.
Description of Work: Bob Taylor did not perform the job due to timing, but I felt he spent ample time and concern with me during the estimate. He went the extra mile and ordered an Eagle View report as he felt the adjustor either mis-represented or mis-calculated my claim. The number of squares did not match what the adjustor had reported to the insurance company (meaning, he was short).

I had first contacted Mr. Taylor when my roof began leaking in April, 2014. I was able to contact him by phone right away and he also came out to my house right away to check out the situation. He (and his workers) put a tarp over the leaking section so no more damage would be done to the inside of my house. After determining that I needed to replace the entire roof, he gave me an estimate and said that the work would begin around the first week in May- or as soon as the 'rainy' season was past. I gave him a down payment of $4,000.00 and the work was started and finished by the second week of May. Two of my brothers who checked out the work in progress and upon completion- both said that Taylor Construction did an excellent job. All materials and 'debris' from the old roof were cleaned up and taken away. Mr. Taylor kept in contact with me during the work to let me know how it was going. I paid the balance and had a beautiful new roof, and shortly after, received a receipt for my payment and a warranty for the work that was done. My mother has since contacted Taylor construction about some work on her house/garage; and one of my brothers has said he may also call upon Taylor Construction to take care of some work on his house. I am happy to recommend Taylor Construction. My experience with Mr. Taylor and his workers was a positive one.

The entire job (We have a two-story, four bedroom colonial with a two-car garage and an attached sunroom) was completed in about three days. About a year later we had a very small problem with a wasp's nest in one corner, and he came out to make adjustments at no cost. Mr. Taylor oversaw all of the work himself. We were very pleased with the work and have recommended him to other people. He was not able to do a job for a friend of ours who called him so he recommended other companies to do the job for her.
Description of Work: Mr. Taylor contacted us immediately after we contacted him and set up an appointment for which he was punctual. He gave us an estimate and set up immediate times to do the work. His entire crew was punctual, professional and also cleaned up excellently when the work was completed. We ended up paying more than the estimate because all of the plywood on our roof, as well as the roof, needed replacing. While they had the roof off, they also adjusted our insulation near the eaves at no extra cost.

very good service and quality work. Took extra care to protect windows, porches, lighting and shrubs. Very professional, from the owner to the workers. went above and beyond with the quality and kept me informed of what was going on. Excellent job cleaning up. Not the cheapest estimate, but well worth the extra money for the job done. I would highly recommend Taylor Construction for any roofing project.

I would like to state that the owner of the company, Bob Taylor was here the very next day. He was professional and cordial. He spent a good amount of time asking questions as well allowing us to ask questions. He was very personable and extremely knowledgeable regarding the project. He was very straight forward in telling us that unfortunately his current work load would not allow him to take on more projects. He pointed out that he felt it wouldn't be fair to us because he knew he wouldn't be able to do his very best in the scheduling of our job. We were very impressed with Bob and will certainly keep his company in mind for the future.
Description of Work: Actually Taylor Construction wasn't able to take on the project due to existing work load and timing.
Bob Taylor (Taylor Construction) was so professional and personable right from the get-go. He was generous (and extremely prompt) with his time and expertise concerning a work estimate (no high pressure sales just confident and professional; and they finished under budget), job completion time (sooner than expected), materials needed. He offered up "referral properties" from previous jobs. He met with us (several times) at our home to explain the entire process, bring samples, and to preview the job site. The work was delayed a while due to a rather long stretch of rainy weather in our area. Bob continued to keep in touch to assure us he "hadn't forgotten" about us and the job. When the weather began clearing and a job date had been set he kept us posted every step of the way. Advised us just when the dumpster would be delivered, cleared with us where on our property the dumpster would be placed, and also asked our approval for set up and placement of his work trailer and additional work equipment. He told us that he and his crew (who were awesome .. more about them in a moment) would arrive around 9 a.m. each day to begin work. Each day they arrived 30 minutes ahead of schedule! He was here each day to oversee work of his crew (which didn't need supervising; they worked well as a team; all knew their job/responsibilities; a number of his crew each had worked with/for Taylor Construction for over ten years; they worked with professionalism and with respect for Mr. Taylor and worked conscientiously about their job and our home). Each time something "out of the ordinary" or unexpected cropped up (the flashing around the chimney, banding it to the roof, removing some of the siding, replacing some sheets of plywood, replacing the bathroom vent-fan) Bob's crew discussed the issue with him then he in turn explained the issue with us, offered us his factual overview/opinion and left the decision up to us as to how we wanted him to proceed. He and his crew were "spot on" with every issue. We appreciated their/his candor and expertise. Clean up was so immaculately accomplished you'd never know they had been here were it not for our beautiful new roof! The job was completed a day ahead of schedule on a Friday. The following Monday Bob returned to see if we were pleased with the work and to assure us that if we weren't completely happy about the job done by his crew that he would work to make it right. Not necessary, Bob. The entire experience was stress-free. Bob and his crew made it so. We would indeed recommend highly Bob Taylor/Taylor Construction
Description of Work: We had a whole-house roof replacement. Additional work was necessary to replace flashing around our chimney as well as to band the chimney for stability to the roof. A number of sheets of plywood had to be replaced as a result of years of water and ice damage/wear due to age. While preparing to replace the roof tiles over our garage extra care was taken to remove some siding in order to secure/assure a close and tight fit of the new roof tiles. Our existing bathroom vent-fan was replaced because of shotty installation on the original install a few years earlier. Clean up during the job as well as at time of completion was amazing!

Taylor provided a cost estimate quickly, and was willing to discuss add-ons and changes. Once he was told we wanted to proceed, he outlined his needs based on our having some of the materials and he providing some others. He and his crew showed up just as expected and completed the whole roof in very quick order. We're very happy with the work and would not hesitate to use him on future projects.

I first found Taylor Construction on Angie's list, which contained a link to their website. Based on the content of their website and the comments on Angie's List, I selected this company. The owner responded quickly to my request for an estimate, and the rest of the job was completed professionally and efficiently. The end result looks great! They even managed to match the color of older asphalt shingles on the house when flashing was installed. Overall, a very knowledgeable and professional organization.
Description of Work: This project included installing flashing on the roof of a house to prevent ice buildup and replacing a shingled garage roof with a metal roof. Response time from the original request for an estimate to the completion of the project was excellent. The "crew" really worked efficiently together and seemed to be detail-oriented with measurements, etc. Clean-up after the job was complete. The owner was pleasant to deal with, detail-oriented, and always gave accurate advance notice of material delivery times and installation schedules. It was important to me that the company is fully insured.
