They are really good. When I moved into this house, who ever had it before did not hang the gutters properly. They were separated from the house, so I had to have those taken off and redone. This included some new insulation underneath. Katchmark's work was great. They replaced the gutters properly, and the work only took a few days. We had no problems at all. The price was reasonable.
Description of Work: They did some gutter work on my house.

Had a small leaks in two places. Their estimator John Mendes came out promptly went up on the roof and diagnosed the problems. What was nice was he took digital photographs of the problems on the roof. Since I was not inclined to go up there. A full crew arrived on what turned out to be a bitterly cold day and did the work. That was a month ago and it has rained since. I'm inclined to think the leaks are fixed since they are not growing. They cleaned up after themselves. Would not have known they were even there since the repairs blend in so well with the existing roof.
Description of Work: I had leaks in two spots on my roof. They came out and repaired the leaks.

They were extremely responsive. They sent out someone who not only gave me a quote, but hopped on my rooftop to make sure the quote was applicable to our issues. While he was up there he took care of a shingle that was sticking up. He spent time going over the different types of options and actually had a sample to show. For the roof, he determined that anything they did to try to fix the problem would not work and the the roof needed to be replaced. He basically said I'm not going to give you a quote for it unless you want to replace your roof. I really respected that because I certainly would not have known. He spent time explaining what he meant by what he said. The contractors were right on time; in fact, they were early. They were extremely pleasant. They were done much more quickly than I thought. They seemed to do a good job. There has been no leaking in our basement since the gutters have been replaced and we have had substantial rain since then. So thats great; however, there is a new problem and that is noise from the gutters. It is a fairly loud sound that we have never had before. I had them come back out and take a look. They said everything had been done correctly and it may just take some time for the noise to go away. That was my only disappointment.

We had some high winds in the area a few weeks ago and realized our siding was falling apart. The siding seemed ok prior to the high winds (it had a few dents) so we decided it was time to get some estimates. Katchmark was professional and on time for the appointment. The estimate was reasonable and we really felt confident with our consultant. He showed us pictures and explained what we needed to replace and why. About a week after signing we received a call regarding when the work would be started and a heads up on anything that could extend the duration of work (such as the weather). All of the Katchmark staff made sure to update on any changes immediately. They were wonderful to work with and best of all there were no "surprises". We even received a follow-up call shortly after the work was completed along with pictures of the finished work. Where going to need our roof replaced this summer and I will definitely call them!
Description of Work: Replaced siding and trim, which was damaged due to high winds and time.

They took care of the problem very efficiently and at a reasonable price. They also cleaned up their mess when they left. Even though we were out of town, they were very flexible with working with us. If the needs arose, we would probably use them again.
Description of Work: Initially, they looked at the problem and gave us an estimate, and they had the best price of the three estimates that we got. It involved some caulking around a standpipe and some lashing.

Had water leak and wanted a firm that could handle window replacement as well as address any problem with roofing or dormer siding (around windows) if found necessary during installation of windows. Window replacement under initial contract was done well. Coordinating with "siding" group of company was not productive. After it was determined that water damage was present under dormer siding. Requested estimate to remove siding/repair dormers/replace siding was never provided. After 2 week wait, got another top rated company to do so and perform the work. Would use window group again, but not for siding.
Description of Work: Removed 3 storm windows and old wood windows and installed 3 vinyl windows, capping the sides and replacing 3 window sills.

The consultant who came out to do the estimate was very professional, courteous, and knowledgeable about the company and the product. We admittedly did not call any other contractors to get other estimates, because we wanted to get the work done as soon as possible, but we had heard good things about this company and the consultant's professionalism was reassuring. It was a few weeks before they could schedule anyone to come out to do the work, but once they did the team did a good job, and we were satisfied with the work. I also received a call the day after from a company representative asking how everything went and if it was to our satisfaction.

They came gave me an estimate. They called back 11/17/08 and said I would have to sign a contract by the end of November. If I didn't sign the contract the price would go up due to an increase in price of materials. I think he is trying to strong arm me. I have two houses that need two roofs and he is being rude to me. One of my houses is attached to another and in order to roof the porch he said I would have to pay for my neighbors half. That is an additional 650 dollars. I have tried to contact my neighbor and he has not responded.

WE ESTIMATED TWO PROPERTIES FOR THIS MEMBER. ONE IN JULY 2008 AND ONE IN AUGUST 2008. WE HAVE RECEIVED FOUR PRICE INCREASES FROM OUR VENDORS FOR OUR PETROLEUM BASED PRODUCTS SINCE JULY. IN AN EFFORT TO ACCOMMODATE OUR POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS IN THESE CHALLENGING ECONOMIC TIMES, WE CHOSE NOT TO RAISE OUR PRICES UNTIL WE RECEIVED OUR FOURTH INCREASE IN NOVEMBER. AS A COURTESY TO THIS MEMBER WE CALLED THEM TO INFORM THEM OF THE UPCOMING INCREASE. IN ADDITION TO OUR BELOW MARKET ESTIMATE, WE OFFERED AN ADDITIONAL DISCOUNT TO THIS MEMBER IF BOTH ROOFS WERE PURCHASED. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES DO OUR IN-HOME CONSULTANTS USE PRESSURE TACTICS TO ACHIEVE A SALE. THE CONSULTANT WHO WAS SERVICING THIS MEMBER HAS RECEIVED NUMEROUS LETTERS OF PRAISE FROM HIS EXISTING CLIENTS DURING THIS YEAR. THE MAJORITY OF THE LETTERS STATE HOW EASY-GOING AND POLITE HE IS.

They were very professional. Were timely in providing an estimate. No hard sell. Once they were awarded the job an appointment was set for the installation. Due to bad weather they had to reschedule the job, however, it was only a one day delay. They arrived early in the morning, removed the roof and had the new roof installed by 6:00 that evening. We were always informed what was to transpire and it was always handled professionally.

We had an excellent experience with Katchmark. When rain caused a delay, they immediately rescheduled at a time convenient for us. They actually fabricated the product from a truck in our driveway - fascinating. Work was completed in 4 hours and they cleaned up and removed all old gutters. We are very pleased with the quality of the gutters we selected. Excellent service.

Excellent. I had two site visits and multiple phone calls with Eric Templeton, the salesperson, and he was very professional and knowledgeable. Eric came out to provide the estimate within a few days of my calling to set up an appointment, and was on time. Eric recommended the top-of-the line gutters; he was very upfront in noting that they were a more expensive option, but he recommended them given the size of my roof. I also preferred them from an aesthetic perspective. Overall, I don't feel as if I was "up sold" just to churn out more profit. As Eric predicted, the work was scheduled within about a week to 10 days of the time I signed the contract- (they started fabricating the gutters within a few days of my signing). The installers arrived on time the day they were scheduled to arrive, and worked very efficiently. The crew cleaned up thoroughly and the foreman accommodated my specific requests, including installing a rain chain and relocating the downspouts so that they were not on the front of my house but rather on the sides. The foreman (whose name I cannot recall) was also very professional, as was his crew. Two workmen also came by the next day, at my request, to redirect a black drainage tube to carry water away from the house. The installation looks fantastic and we have had several heavy rainstorms since the gutters were installed, and so far there are no leaks. I'm glad I chose the highest quality gutters. It's amazing how much they improve the appearance of the house. As I noted above, there were two visits and multiple calls with Eric, not because of any problems, but because I changed my mind about the scope of the project and about the type of trim that I wanted installed. He was very patient and did not apply any sales pressure, which I appreciated. Everyone I dealt with from Katchmark -- the woman in the office who scheduled the appointment for the estimate, Eric Templeton, Chris (who scheduled the installation and followed up), and the foreman and crew, was excellent. Katchmark deserves it's outstanding reputation.
Description of Work: Katchmark replaced the gutters and downspouts on my entire house, and also capped the fascia boards with aluminum.

Overall it was an excellent experience. Initially we wanted an estimate to repair a portion of the roof that was leaking and had some soft spots. Somebody came out to our house for an estimate within a few days of calling. Did a good job of explaining what was wrong with the roof and gave us a reasonable estimate to repair the bad section. He did not push us at all to replace the entire roof. After getting a couple of other estimates, Katchmark's estimate was the cheapest. We also decided to replace the whole roof as the cost of repairing the affected section was smaller than we had thought. A crew of 5 workers showed up promptly the day of the work. We were amazed that they were able to replace the entire roof in a single day. We did have to pay extra because we ended up having to replace all the plywood on the roof as it all was in pretty bad shape. The cost of the plywood is not in the estimate. The workers did a good job of cleaning up after all was done. My only gripe was that since they had to pull up all the plywood, there was a pretty big mess in our attic that we use to store things. Other than that, everything went very well. I will definitely consider Katchmark when I'm ready to replace our siding.

I used Angie's List to identify three highly-rated roofing companies, and called each for an estimate. All companies were prompt, courteous and professional (the other companies were Shiners and Capitol). Katchmark offered the best deal, overall. For a lower price than the others, I was able to receive lifetime shingles (rather than 30-year), plus I preferred their gutter and cover solution: the RainPro system with Gutter Tunnel. The RainPro system appears to be the same size as a 5-inch gutter but has the capacity of a 6-inch. Also, I researched and listened to all companies about the necessity and value of a gutter cover. No system is perfect and I was prepared to forego altogether. In the end, we thought the solution offered by Katchmark was the best. The Gutter Tunnel seems to work well with the RainPro system (it's not a covered system) and the lower tunnel seems to be an efficient way of keeping water moving, even with eventual debris that all systems will experience. Another excellent benefit of using Katchmark is their customer service and communications. Every step of the process, I received a call from the office or the foreman, telling me when they were expected on site and when they would finish. I also received follow-up calls to ensure our satisfaction with the clean-up and if we had any questions. Good company. When we replace our windows in the near future, I will certainly give them a call.

Katchmark did a great job. We loved our estimator, Matt. The office staff is very friendly and was in constant contact with my husband and me. They took great care of my property, taking special care not to damage my prized vegetable gardens. The process was fantastic- we really appreciate how everyone we talked to seemed to genuinely care about us and our project, even though it wasn't the biggest job in the world. We are looking to put new siding up next Spring and are definitely going to use Katchmark. The price was a little higher than the other contractor's we got estimates from, but I wouldn't go with anyone else for the world. We are so happy and love our new roof.

Their estimate was very detailed, better than the rest. Included plywood where the other companies where going to charge over the additional price. This company also advised my husband that they had not used all the plywood and we would receive some money back. They damaged a screen and they picked it up to fix it. For the most part they cleaned up. They went around with an electric magnet to clean everything up. The price was a couple of hundred dollars less than other company's.
