They came out to give an estimate. I had him back out so on 8/11 I could sign the proposal. He informed me someone would contact me from the office to schedule the appointment. On 8/19 I called the office as I had not heard anything. Nobody in the office knew who I was or that there had ever been an order. They said they would call me back. I paid a deposit. Again no one called me so I called to speak with the manager Bruce on 8/22. He said they would send someone out today, no one ever came out. I called the office and was told they were drug testing employees today and "Didn't Laurie call you", she hadn't. I called the manager who confirmed the drug test. After speaking to Bruce I told him to cancel the job.

We discovered a leak in our roof that was dripping down the inside of the exterior wall and running through a crack in the window frame of our MBR. Katchmark came out to inspect and provide an estimate. The previous roof had just been installed over the existing roof and there were rotted support beams. They removed the existing roof, replaced the rotted wood, cleaned up after the job and went to our neighbor's house to ensure that they had cleaned up anything that might have fallen into their yard. They were incredibly reponsive and courteous. They even adjusted the start time in the morning to arrive an hour later than their usual start time because my neighbor has small children. I would definitely recommend them. We have also used them for a siding replacement.

John came out to give me an estimate. I was impressed that of the companies I saw, he came prepared to climb the roof and examine condition of my old gutter system thoroughly. He gave me an estimate, the installation crew came out on schedule and installed new gutters. It rained soon after and I noticed not all the downspouts drained. I called them and the installation crew came out again and explained my roofline was uneven so water ran to certain downspouts. At my request they lowered so front downspouts both drain water. The back, which was more complicated, required installing a whole new downspout. The installation crew quoted a price which I found a little expensive, but finally agreed to. After installation, the company manager called and offered a generous discount because of the total job. Representatives of the company called as a follow-up to confirm I was completely satisfied. They billed me subsequently and accepted credit card payment. I was very pleased all the way around with this company and would recommend without hesitation.

Manager/analyst arrived on time, assessed problem, showed me pictures of problem areas on my roof. The manager wrote an estimate, I agreed to the work and provided a downpayment. I called the office the following day and scheduled the appointment for a roofing crew to complete repairs. The crew arrived early and completed reventaive maintanance and minor repairs. The roof has not leaked since.

I found Katchmark through the Hardie website because I wanted a company that was familiar with the product. Everyone I dealt with at Katchmark -- from John, our sales representative, to the installers -- was extremely professional. A delay in the siding order resulted in an unasked-for discount; they also reduced the price by the cost of a repair to a shower niche (located on the bathroom's outside wall, so directly next to the siding being installed) that was damaged by the hammering. The workers did a great job cleaning up after themselves as well. The house looks beautiful. The "higher than estimate" cost noted below was due to two factors: (1) we did not include the new gutters in the original estimate and (2) we needed to replace more rotted wood than anticipated. Neither was an issue and the costs were fair.
Description of Work: Replaced siding on the house with HardiePlank fiber cement siding. Replaced an aging door to the back deck with a custom steel French door. Installed new gutters.

We found the company responsive from start to finish. When we were shopping around for a roofer, we found that Katchmark listened; they were available to respond to questions by phone and by e-mail. They started and completed the work as scheduled, and cleaned up the debris well, with special attention to our neighbours properties. The roof, gutters, and addition of a sun tunnel were done on separate days. Given the challenges of work on a rowhouse, with the back part facing a hill with limited access to the back, Katchmark really did a great job. There were a few glitches, which we brought to Katchmark's attention. We commend Katchmark for the manner in responding to the issues, taking full responsibility to follow-up and correct the problem. We also appreciated receiving the before and after photos of the roof, especially since we were not ready to climb the roof to see it for ourselves. Overall, we found them professional and reliable.

I got about eight estimates and most of the people tried to convince me that I needed a new roof, the gentleman from Katchmark, who I believe is the owner's son, said that it could be repaired, the roof would be fine, and it had a number of year's left in it. His estimate was one of the lowest, if not the lowest. They showed up on time. It looks like they did a very good job, but I don't go up on the roof. We have not had any problems with the roof since then.

replacement windows
 + -1 more
We purchased our home about 5 years ago and the window replacement was a planned item on our to-do list. Some of the windows didn't open easily, the storm window frames were so brittle that edge pieces were breaking off and, depending on the season, we were heating or cooling the outside. So our goals were to reduce our utility bills, making cleaning easier and to enhance our home's appearance. WOW! We can't praise the quality of Katchmark's sales consultant and the installation crews enough! They were all tremendously professional and conscientious! We interviewed two other companies and chose Katchmark to complete the job and are very happy we did. While Kathchmark's bid was similar to one of the other companies (the third was 11K higher), the standout factor in our choice was Dave Hill's guidance during the initial consultation and his professional expertise. When we met the Installation Crew Chief, Hon, we knew we were in good hands. They anticipated a two day installation process and finished well within that time frame. They left our home tidy with no debris. The windows look incredible but what really impressed us during installation was the amount of time and attention that Hon personally gave to ensure a perfect seal on our sliding glass door and the front doors. It was painstaking work because our home is 30 years old and the previous doors had obviously warped. What a HUGE difference from both a functional and appearance perspective!! Plus, they realigned some of the siding work we had done last year so the front door appearance was smoother and more polished. The lower windows in the living room (which are floor to ceiling) didn't arrive as tempered glass (as ordered) so they reordered those from the sight and will reinstall those lower panels (which is easy with our new windows) when they arrive. We are very pleased with their product selections, recommendations and installation. We will be checking our utility bills and hope for a cost savings BUT the new appearance of our house and the ease of use of the new windows and doors has already made this a win-win decision for us.

I am satisfied with their work but several of our screens ended up with holes in them. We have contacted them but they have not come back to us to take care of the problem. The crew was very good. They were extremely efficient in doing the job. They cleaned up after themselves. There was no debris left at our place. They did a good job. I would recommend them if they come back to us and take care of our screens.

Eric gave me detailed listings of all the processes and products they offered for roofing and gutters. He left me samples to choose from and was patient in explaining all options and items included in the estimate. Frankly his estimate was lower initially than the company we went with and I was leaning towards Katchmark. However, after further research on his product line, GAF versus the Certainteed product offered by the other company, I went with the other company. Very professional, detailed and competitive.
Description of Work: Met with Eric who was very professional, punctual and knowledgeable about his company and product offerings. He spent a considerable amount of time measuring and looking at my roof, gutters and skylights before preparing a detailed estimate.

I e-mailed Katchmark from their website about my problem, having searched Angie's List and found Katchmark's overall excellent reports. Their office called me the next day and arranged for their representative, John Mendes, to visit the house and take a look at the situation. I was unable to be there, so John called me at work during his inspection. We discussed things, and I accepted his suggestions. He left his estimate at the house, and the next day I faxed it into the office. They called and we handled credit card payment on the phone. The following day I was contacted by their scheduling people and the job was set for the following Wednesday, weather permitting, with the day after as a backup date. As luck and Murphy would have it, we had steady rain all day Wednesday (4/15), so Greg from Katchmark called to assure me the work would be rescheduled for Thursday, 4/16. Katchmark's folks showed up on Thursday morning, completed the job in a couple of hours. The work was pre-paid, since I couldn't be at the house, so the Katchmark people were essentially on their own (though I was available by phone if needed). I came home that evening to find the job done, cleanup finished, and the new items in place. Looked excellent, and to the specs we'd agreed on. Appearance aside, the real proof came soon enough when we again had rain, occasionally quite heavy, over the following week. The gutters and covers have so far performed beautifully. It will take time to see how the Gutter Tunnel product fares with the "tree droppings," of course. The product's design, however, gives me great hope that it will succeed in preventing the gutters from clogging anywhere near as often or badly as the earlier product. The day after the work was done, Katchmark called to ask if everything was satisfactory, and to reiterate that if I had any questions, problems or other issues, I should contact them immediately
Description of Work: Replaced two 30-foot runs of guttering and gutter covers with larger gutters and downspouts and the Gutter Tunnel leaf/debris screen product carried by Katchmark. Previously installed solid cover by a different company was very poor at keeping out the small leaves and seeds/pods produced by the red oaks we have on our property. Resulting Niagara Falls-like overflows from clogging during even moderate rain were intolerable and under very heavy/consistent rain conditions caused overflow water to seep into the basement. Katchmark recommended the 5" guttering, larger downspouts, and the double-screen Gutter Tunnel as a solution.

We called three companies for estimates on our gutter repair. Katchmark and the other one, we chose from Angie's list and the third was recommended by a friend. Of the three, Katchmark seemed the most knowledgeable about what we needed to do for our roof to make it last a bit longer than an entire roof replacement. We were pretty nervous about replacing the skylight since it wasn't leaking at the time but water seemed to be pooling around it. After looking at Angie's list reviews decided to trust their expertise on skylights. We did this work in December and three months later, so far so good.

You really get to know a company when something goes wrong. When they handle a problem with the customers best interest first - even when it costs them a fairly large investment in time, money and additional materials ? you know you are dealing with a quality organization. Katchmark is this kind of company. Katchmark did an excellent job planning our roof replacement project. During the installation, there were some problems which resulted in some inadvertent damage to our property. Most of the damage was to the aluminum siding in the rear of the home. Since our home is approximately 20 years old, there was no way to match the color and ?patch repair? the damaged aluminum siding. Katchmark proposed replacing the entire home with vinyl siding, not just the rear of the home. They worked with us to help select the color and style. They also provided Tyvek to wrap the home underneath the siding for additional protection. We are very pleased with the result. Between the roof and the new siding, our home looks very updated. Katchmark supervisors were on site for the entire siding project, and gave us some consultation on two problem doors that will need replacing within the year. For no extra charge, they provided a temporary fix for some drainage problems which will extend the life of these doors. Joe Murden, Steve Daniels, Cindy Song and Mr. Song were very supportive. We will be working with Katchmark in the future for our home repair needs and recommend them highly.

I called for an estimate for a new roof. After inspecting the roof John declared it still in good shape and recommended that I not replace at this time - although he did give me a price upon request. He mentioned the gutters needed realigning, which I knew, and that I have more brackets installed. He gave me a price for this gutter work, replace one shingle, and inspected the roof carefully. I was contacted 24 hours before the work was done. There was no evidence that the work was done as the area around the house was clean and looked untouched. I did put in a call to question some cleaning that might have been done during the work under the gutters. This call was returned by two different people. At this time my concerns have not been corrected, yet this is minor and was not specified in the contract.

The experience was good overall. We needed to replace a section of flat roof due to a water leak. That section of flat roof on the second floor was meant to be walked on, with a door out to it and a railing. The company submitted a professional and competitive estimate for approx. $4000 that included everything to be done to replace the roof, including hauling away all the garbage. The estimate gave a price per square foot for replacing any rotten wood that might be found, which could not be included in the estimate since it could not be seen until the old roof was off. The roof was supposed to slightly slope away from the house to shed the water. Their approach was supposed to work around the existing railings and re-secure the gutters. The price included a 10 year unconditional warranty, transferable with the house. The job was started and completed on time. It turned out that the railings needed to be removed and reinstalled. (This necessitated our having to completely re-paint them after this job was completed.) The roof could not be sloped as much as necessary because the door to the roof was too low relative to the height of the walls, but they did the best they could. They found quite a bit of rotten wood that had to be replaced, adding about $800 to the price. They also found rotten wood in one of the walls supporting the roof. They were also able to make this repair, which called for removing the existing siding and then replacing some of the framing, plywood, and insulation, and adding new siding, for $5100. This also called for removing some of the existing gutter and replacing it. Some work also needed to be done on the inside walls of the house. The company was very good about making sure all issues were resolved before asking for final payment -- they really did their best to make sure that we were satisfied. The roof and siding look good, but not great, and we have a small dip in the roof that always has a puddle; this is apparently an unfixable thing that shouldn't pose a problem. There was quite a lot of damage to the plants by the wall (ground into the dirt, really) that needed the work, which was probably unavoidable. It should be noted that the TPO roof is incredibly slick when wet, and therefore isn't the best choice for a railed-in upper-story patio-like area. We were not warned about this. Also, the foam material and the TPO are not really strong enough to support furniture.
Description of Work: Replace flat tar and gravel roof approximately 20x15 sq. feet with TPO roofing. Replace wood inside exterior wall of house damaged by water and replace siding over that area, approx. 10x10 sq ft. This work was done in the Fall of 2008.

They responded quickly, which was great as our original roof was leaking in a number of places. Work began within a week of the contract signing. They covered the front of the house with a tarp to protect it from damage from the removal of the old shingles. When a shingle came loose after a unusually bad wind storm before the shingles had time to set, they came out the next day (Saturday) to replace it and to check the entire roof for any other damage. Overall experience was great. Everyone involved was very professional. We were extremely pleased that they managed to get the roof redone during a rare warm spell in February. We have a 3 story townhouse that another roofer refused to touch.
Description of Work: Re-roofed the house. This included removing the original shingles, inspecting the sheathing for water damage and putting on new shingles.
