Description Of Work: Stripped roof, replaced all the wood, removed a chimney , repaired another chimney, stripped old asphalt tiles on side of building (three stories high), wrapped side and insulated all around, did siding, trim, gutters and cleaned up. Building is about 45 feet high: Big job.
I contacted Joe in June. He said he would be able to do the job around the end of August. He actually started September 13. This was OK with me. I had wanted proof of insurance, which he sent me. I contacted the insurance company, which verified that the insurance was valid. This was a concern for me, as the height of the building makes for a dangerous work condition and I didn’t want any problems or injuries to the workers. The guys were strapped in while working on the scaffolding, and there were no injuries. Eight guys worked for 10 days, the last day until 7:00 PM. The guys were all nice. They started every morning by 8:30 AM and worked until 5:00 PM. I have a Bay window, and while painting the top of the building some drops of paint fell on the new roof that was installed on the Bay window. Joe had the roof removed and redone. I had given Joe a $7.000. deposit, half-way through I gave him another $7,000, and the rest on the last day. There was no pressure on his part. Over all I am very happy with the results: I got what I asked for and there were no hassles of any kind. I need to do some steps and some stucco work and will hire him if he is available.
