They did a nice job. No issues.

Crew arrived on time; very punctual; pleasant and intelligent, very experienced. Negiotable, and worked well together. I will definitely be using their services again, and I highly recommend them. I felt that I was not being taken advantage of, and that I was dealing with members of my own family. After a horrible previous experience in July with another contracter who did not satisfy me at all, I am very thankful for meeting this contractor through Angies List.

I contacted and met Joe on Friday afternoon, As soon as he took a look at my house he knew what needed to be done, before he even got to the roof. At first this kind of startled me since i had quite a few companies come out and look at the roof and some gave me good solutions others said i should replace the whole roof. His solution to my problem was one that another company suggested and which made a lot of sense. the way my roof was made it was there was only 1 3" inch pipe which was used to divert the water off the roof. and common sense would dictate that when you have a whole roof full of water draining into a 3 inch hole it will not drain it fast enough. He explained to me in detail about what he was going to do. which was to remove the back part of my flat roof so and pitch it towards the new flange gutter system. this way there is more water being removed from my roof than getting pooled up. He also explained to me the difference between shingle gutters as well as Flange gutters. that to me was really an eye opener since i never knew there was a difference. He also said that he could start the work on Saturday weather permitting if not on Monday morning. I liked that he was willing to work with me to get this going since there was the hurricane was going to hit on Sat night. On Sat morning he called me bright and early to let me know that he would not make it since it looked like it would rain while they were working. That kind of follow thru and constant communication made me feel at ease since i knew if he was calling me so early in the morning instead of me calling him to find out if he was coming. He assured me that his crew would be there on Monday morning at 9am sharp. In the back of my mind I thought that he might not considering that it was going to be after the hurricane and his phone would be ringing off the hook because mf all the possible damage. On Monday morning true to his word his crew came out at 8:50 10 minutes early they immediately went to work. they told me what was going to be done just to confirm what i had spoke to Joe about . they began ripping apart the back half of my roof and replacing the rotted wood and other parts that were damaged by the years of rain. when they almost done they told me i could take a look and see what they have done. I decided to pop my head up there and take a look I was shocked to see how nice it looked. One of his crew also told me that i should get the hats for the pipes that i have on the roof especially one that was in the back it appeared that it looked to him when they had it open that maybe one of the pipes may or may not have a crack. He said that to put one of the hats on there just so if it did it would not cause a leak. That kind of attention to detail really made me happy and he said that i could do it myself because anyone who would come out would charge me 50+ dollars just to do a 2 minute job. I really appreciated that. I also noticed that my fire escape ladder was a bit loose shakey and i asked them if they could secure it a bit more they did it without hesitation. After they were done Joesph was over to go over the final paperwork. He told me that if there was any problems to go ahead and call him up and he would get someone over to fix it. His price i dont believe could be beat considering what other companies had quoted me for solutions that just consisted of reflashing . Most of the solutions other companies gave me was just putting a band aid on deep wound. I have no regrets at all over my decision to Joseph Ashley. and would highly recommend them to anyone

Contractor started on time. Worked with us to have a dumpster delivered at our convenience and to an agreed upon location. We were satisfied with pricing and materials used. And in spite of all the rain we have been having, so far there seem to be no problems. The only thing I would recommend, and this goes for any work done by any contractor; you need to be aware of what is completed and what is not completed and keep after the workers so things are not accidentally overlooked. The person who booked this job called us to be sure that we were satisfied and we were told that if there was anything that concerned us we should not hesitate to contact him. This was a very big job and it went very smoothly.

Everything went extremely well. We orginally wanted to stucco the bottom half of the house. However, Joe came out, took one look and suggested that we reside the entire house which financially would make more sense. His suggestion was an excellent one because the house looks beautiful!! We were told it would take about a week to complete the job and he came in right on target, even with 3 days of rain. We are extremely pleased with the work. Joe came out every day to inspect the progress. His workers were very polite, worked dilligently and respected my home as if it were there own. I rated the Company's performance an A on all levels except price. The only reason I did not rate an A was because I did not price with any othe contractor. Joe is very passionate about his work, so I felt strongly that he would do a great job. I am glad I listed to my instinct because I was right!! I HIGHLY recommend this company.

We found out that we had a large hole in our roof right before Xmas this year. The man who cleans our gutters came down and said there is a long strip of your roof missing and the job is too big for me. He did not know anyone who could.I asked friends, neighbors, teachers and bartenders if they knew anyone they could recommend, No.So we hit the internet and Angie's list. All in all I saw 12 different contractors .Joe impressed me the most. He knew what he was talking about. His price was not the most expensive, but it was on the upper end. You get what you pay for. And he throws in gutters! We picked a date,got all ready and it snowed, and snowed ,and snowed. Finally good weather ,we would start on Monday, we got all ready and the city decided to replace the water mains on our block.... no go till they were done. Through out it all Joe was in touch. He called and stopped by. The water mains took 2 weeks. Finally the day came. His crew showed up bright and early.They went right to work. They worked fast and well.At the end of each day every thing was cleaned up. I have a small pocket garden out front.I have been planting carefully picked plants there one by one.I've been working on it for the past few years and I thought I would have to replace a lot of them. Not one was killed and only a few bruised ,the workers were very careful . Joe is right to be proud of them. When the roof was off we could see that the chimney was crumbing ,Joe was right there, showed us what was wrong and gave us a very good price to fix it. When the job was almost done Joe decided that some of the flashing by our bay window needed to be replaced for the job to look right so he had his men replace it saying the job did not look good with one old piece there and his men were here already .It was very nice of him.He was right , with the new roof, gutters and flashing my new roof looks great, it makes my house look a hundred years younger! We've had our house for over 11 years and it needed some work when we got it. Major construction is never fun,but Joe took most of the pain away. This was our 3rd big one . When it is time for our 4th we will be calling him.

They came out, gave us an estimate and gave us the options. So we thought that they did a great job with that, but they haven’t done the work yet. They quoted us about $7000. The price was within our range and what we had expected. The roofer is very knowledgeable, professional and there were no questions. They were here when they said they would be here. They fully disclosed what the options were. So, we are satisfied with them. Their responsiveness was great. They called back right away. My wife is very satisfied with their professionalism. We are using their services in the future.

They did an very excellent job. He was very friendly, polite, and knowledgeable. He went above and beyond on what was agreed to on the contract without charging extra. He had 10 men here everyday and finished with 5 days. The workers cleaned up well afterwords everyday, answered any questions, and were very polite.

We could not have had a more positive experience and consider ourselves fortunate to have worked with Joseph and his outstanding crew. We contracted to do the job in January, one of the snowiest months in memory. Joseph said that the job would be completed within 10 working days, weather permitting. Total number of work days was, indeed, 10 because of the outstanding team of men who came at 8: AM and never left before 5: PM. Joseph was a pleasure to work with: professional, responsive and a perfectionist. Not only did he do everything he promised, but he included items that we did not anticipate at his own expense. I can wholeheartedly recommend ACJ for contracting work.

Joseph Ashley was one of the best contractors I have ever done business with. I found ACJ on Angie?s List and read several reviews on Google, all very positive reports of his previous work. My house is a 2 family with a lot of exterior square footage, over 4000 square feet. I ended up getting 6 separate quotes from contactors to do the work. Joe showed up to do an estimate and was able to point out several deficiencies with the current siding that he was willing to fix free of charge if he got the job. Some quotes were literally double the price that Joe quoted and while I did receive 2 quotes lower than Joe, I felt confident that he would do the best job for the price he was quoting. In my line of work I deal with a lot of NYC contractors and I know from experience it is not always a good idea to go with the lowest bid. Joe started working on my house the week before Christmas so all my material was sitting in the driveway when that 20? snow storm hit right after the holiday. I was nervous that this would cause problems with the job and could possibly cost me more money. I showed up on that Friday, New Years Eve, to shovel out my driveway and sidewalk and to my surprise found 8 guys installing siding on my house. The driveway was shoveled and the paths cleared. It was insane. The crew that installs the siding is very professional and trustworthy. I gave them a key to my house without any concern. In addition to installing the siding on my house, they moved the location of 3 windows, capped all trim work around windows, doors and porches with aluminum, and installed 6 louver vents in a cement block porch and frame porch. Joe also installed new litters, gutters, and fascia boards for free because he said he ?couldn?t look at all the new siding and not replace the litter and gutters.? Joe truly does care about his work. My house now looks fantastic and I couldn?t be happier with the work performed. I already have Joe giving me quotes for some summer projects I have in the works and I don?t plan on getting any other quotes from any other contractors. I would highly recommend Joseph Ashley to anyone looking to do remodeling projects.

Joseph Ashley responded in a timely manner to our initial request for an estimate. He began the work when he said that he would. The work was completed in 3 days. There were often as many as 10 men working on the roof at the same time. All of the workers behaved in a professional manner. They were here at the scheduled time each morning and worked through the day stopping only for a lunch break. At the end of each day when the workers left it was so clean outside of my house you couldn't tell that they had been here. Wow, I was impressed. We dealt directly with Joseph Ashley. He was always available when we had questions or concerns. The finished product is beautiful, a quality job. I would hire ACJ Remodeling Inc. again.

The guy was very nice and very professional. He was on time.

The job started & completed on time. The crew arrived promptly at 8am and worked until just after dark The crew cleaned-up after themselves each day & completely at the end of the job. The job we contracted for was exactly what we received, but I must say that this company out-performed my expectations with their attention to detail. The crew was experienced and did good work; they responded to questions and requests pleasantly and favorably.

Joe gave me an estimate and let me know when he thought they could start the work. They began the work on time and stayed on budget. He manages the number of people he has working very closely, so the work can get done quickly and everyone is busy. It went well. We were all frustrated by the heavy rain that interrupted the stucco work. The end result is quite lovely. How nice to look out my back window at a lovely garage instead of the tin can we had there before. The materials they used were top notch and the end result is impressive. The stucco work included a brick veneer border, and they topped it off with crown molding. I also like that Joe stays involved in the process. It is reassuring that he seems so interested in how happy you are with the results.

I found this company on angie's list. Joe came a few hours after my phone call to give an estimate, which was very reasonable. Once the parts were ordered and received the crew came to install. The job was very professional and neat. Very happy with final result. Would recommend to others!!!!!! Ty.

I found ACJ on Angies List and contacted them via email for estimate on a stucco repair job. Their webiste looked very professional. The List shows them as serving New Jersey. I received a reply email almost immediately where I was informed that they do NOT serve new Jersey. Although I was disappointed because, I apprecieted their very fast response. I am still waiting for responses from numerous other contractors.

After the storms we had in March, we realized we needed a new roof. Now being that we are first-time homeowners and never hired a contractor before, we were determined to find the best. We started by searching Angies List and came across ACJ Remodeling (Joseph Ashley). We liked what we saw on his website and decided to investigate further on the internet. No matter where we looked, we could not find a bad review or negative comment about him or his company. Next, we checked with the Better Business Bureau and Consumer Affairs. Again, nothing but high regard for the company, the owner and the workers. So we contacted Joe and set up an appointment with him. He showed up on time (always a plus), was courtesy, listened to what we wanted, gave us a really great price and told us "not to worry." We could not be happier with the finished product. His crew worked hard, were friendly and cleaned up everything each day before going home. They even worried about a small "tar thumb print" that was still on the front of the house and wanted to clean it before leaving. I told them not to worry about cleaning it until they came back the next day. Joe is not only a great contractor and a pleasure to work with -- he is knowledgeable and passionate about his work. He will be the ONLY contractor we use for any future home improvement needs and cannot say enough good things about him or his company.

I came to know of them through Angie?s List. He showed up when he said he would with four to five workers. They cleaned everything up after the job was done. They had actually dropped some debris in my neighbor?s property which they later cleaned up. They were very professional. The owner had called up after the job was done to make sure that there weren?t any problems. They were competitively priced too. We were very pleased with them.

I originally called ACJ on a recommendation from a friend, but I actually did go see several jobs they had completed in my Brooklyn neighborhood and two homes in Staten Island. Without question this was the best contractor I have ever worked with. The owner, Joe, was here every day and communicated with me constantly. I didn't have to look for him or hope that his crew was going to show. Eight workers were here every day until the job was complete. ACJ worked one job at a time - we can all appreciate how important it is to get this work done in a timely way. They cleaned up every day and during those days when weather prohibited working, I got an 8:00 a.m call from Joe telling me about the work schedule and asking if anything needed to be secured. On some exceptional windy days when working was impossible, Joe sent a few of his crew to check the scaffolds and the construction materials without being prompted. I'm an experienced DIY'er who appreciates good work. ACJ completed the "details" that made this job stand out (mitered windows, etc.). Lastly, his crew was great and they laughed all th time so something is right here. My neighbors even commented on their obvious working relationships. My house turned out better than expected. All in all, a great experience!
