J. Ventura Contracting, LLC

Joel had previously done 2 roofs for us...fair price, great communication, professional work. Due to the positive experience, we contracted with him for a bathroom renovation. Totally different experience this time. Lack of communication, subpar workmanship, project mismanagement. After 9 weeks we finally told him we wanted to terminate the project. Our deposits amounted to more than the work that was done. Tried to work out a refund of our money with Joel, couldn't agree on an amount. Decided we would accept his number just to be done with the situation, haven't heard from him since. Got a lawyer involved, Joel said he would respond within 14 days, but we haven't heard from him. We will be taking him to small claims court.

In 2024 I contracted with J. Ventura Contracting, LLC for a home roof repair. I paid the downpayment. By text, Joel Ventura repeatedly promised to do the job right away but never made any arrangements to do anything. After a few months, he stopped responding at all. I received a Judgment from Vestal Small Claims Court on January 14, 2025. Ventura never attempted to resolve this matter.

A+++++ Contractor - Super fast response, quality work and communication. Highly recommended!

very well. Workers showed up on time. Worked very hard until job was done. They did a great job and the roof looks great. Cleaned up after the work was completed and made sure everything was picked up and cleaned.

Outstanding! Joel was an expert at replacing siding that had fallen from the top of my house. He was calm, polite, and thorough with his work. I would hire him again in a second if or when I might need more work done. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing home repairs.

Joel was on time, through and did a wonderful job. When finished cleanup everything. In short he did a wonderful Job and I would not hesitate to hire him again. Would recommend to friends. Garry Christensen

Good work done in a timely fashion. Would hire again

Joel and his crew were very prompt and professional. They did a great job! Joel was very thorough from the start to the end! The crew was working hard and completed the job as quickly as possible! I would definitely recommend to use the company for your roofing jobs!

Prompt, courteous and professional. Great company and crew. Would definitely call for any future needs. Highly recommend.

Went off with out a hitch done in one day clean up was great just an overall great job.

Joel has been very professional in responding to my request. He was very courteous and responsive. I felt he was very clear and transparent in explaining what is needed and what the detailed costs were in the formal estimate (compared to others that I also solicited). In fact, after opening the roof he mentioned that a couple of other plywood pieces were rotten which needs replacement not quoted in the first estimate. I did not anticipate the extra cost but was satisfied with his detailed explanation. I would surely reconsider him for future work

Excellent work. He did the work right away, charged a very good rate, wore a mask, sent photos of completed work and an explanation of the problem and correction areas and what was used. Jo-El is a very nice and courteous person. I felt comfortable having him on my property and in my home.

Joel, the owner, was responsive, timely, and considerate of our input and many questions. We'd an easygoing exchange between us throughout the process, which was not a lengthy one, as his efficient crew worked energetically till nightfall to complete the work staying just ahead of the impending rainfall. Joel has a good eye for detail and was present to assess his crew's work throughout the day, which further reinforced our appreciation of him, which helped keep us relaxed throughout the project. Additionally, as the cost was competitive, we're certain that when the need for a contractor presents again in the future, we'll call Ventura Contracting for whatever project we find we need help with.

Joel and his crew at J Ventura Contracting proved excellent service that was prompt, efficient and thorough on my house’s roof replacement job. Joel is knowledgeable, personable, pays attention to detail and did a good job explaining what was needed. I would highly recommend J Ventura Contracting and use them again for future home repair jobs.

Jo El and his crew were just great and I will hire them for my next project

First job was a roof replacement. I researched a handful of contractors and chose him. He was moderately priced but had the best value for the dollar. He was also able to get to the project sooner. He and his crew were always there on time. Did a good job and left everything cleaned up. Very professional. A couple of years later that roof developed a leak. (It happens.) He came out the same day I called him and had it repaired. No charge, of course. A year or two later another older house I own and rent developed a moisture problem. He came out on the same day I called him. He spent 1.5 hours on the job investigating the source of the leak and then repaired it. Didn't charge me anything because I was one of his "customers". Joel Ventura is the contractor I want. He is timely, not over priced and very professional. He stands behind his work and his reputation.

Joel did a wonderful job. Not only does it look beautiful, he kept in touch with us as to when he would arrive each morning and let us know if there was a delay. He also pondered a humidity problem and arrived at a solution. I highly recommend him.

Took a while, but they did a good job

Professional AND personable. Knowledgeable and of quality work-ethic. Work was done quickly and thoroughly.

J. Ventura Contracting recently completed work on my roof. It was a large job and I understood going into it, this would be a major roofing project. Joel and his team made the experience easier than I ever imagined. They were easy to work with. and whenever I had a concern, the whole process was explained to me. They guys went beyond my expectations, especially since we had a major snow storm right in the middle of the project that dumped 40 inches of snow on the area where I live. The team didn’t let it slow them down much, as they came ready to shovel out and resume work. I had seen and heard horror stories about roofing, and I was honestly scared to get this project done. Joel and his team were professionals and it showed. The price was reasonable and the end result looks great.

Very quick response to my initial inquiry. They were professional , friendly and got the job done all within an hour of calling them.

Joel and his employees were an absolute joy to do business with. Any time we had questions or concerns they immediately stopped work to address them. When we had a question on something we thought was an issue during the weekend, Joel interrupted his weekend, packed his kids into the car and drove to our house to address the situation !! The quality of work was outstanding, and any time there was a concern on their part about something they feel was needed they spent as much time as needed to explain the options. At the end of each day they were here they were absolute "clean freaks" making sure every little piece of roofing, nails and garbage were cleaned up before leaving. I would hire this company again in a heartbeat and really enjoyed their commitment to doing a professional job on my roof.

Joel and crew did a great job! This was a total gut job. He totally went above and beyond. He approached the job as if this was his own bathroom. He also gave us the best estimate. Joel is very meticulous and checked often to ensure that we were pleased throughout the entire process. Thank you, J. Ventura Contracting!

I got everything i wanted in this beautiful bathroom remodel. Contractor was very communicative and made my vision come to life

Joel was very professional, prompt and courteous. He assessed and gave me the best options. He answered my quote request right away and scheduled the work for two days later. I definitely would recommend him for work. Thanks Joel!
