First they came and measured and asked questions and viewed the damage. Then they sent an estimate which was actually lower than we expected. Since this was a repair of someone else's work I did not think they would be too interested in doing this job. Their normal work includes commercial as well as residential and they were accustomed to doing large jobs. In comparison this was pretty small potatoes. They were as professional as if they were bidding on an entire roof. The crew that arrived were kind, professional and cleaned up their work space. I was very well pleased and would ask them back again if I needed them. I would also recommend them - residential or commercial. They are fully bonded, licensed & insured. We were very well pleased!
operation for quite a long time and I wanted an experienced team to do the
work. From the outset I knew that this was a very professional company as Josh
got on the roof to measure and to see what was needed. Only two other companies
I contacted for a bid did this. Most others just walked around the house from
the ground and came up with a price. He not only explained in layman's terms
what was needed but provided educational materials along the way. He worked
with me over several months to help find the correct product for the budget I
wanted. It was not the lowest bid nor the highest but I believe the fairest. At the beginning
of the process he told me that since it was fairly late in the season of 2014,
if the weather did not cooperate, it might be Spring of 2015 before he could do
the project. That is exactly what occurred. The team that did the project was very professional and courteous
according to neighbors as I was not home during the project. The foreman took pictures of the roof and
texted them to me as I had asked so I could see what they were doing from my
phone and did not to have a neighbor friend climb onto the roof to inspect. By
in large communication was excellent. I received honest timely answers to any questions I asked and generally received direct
communication from the company if there was something I should know. I rate the company tops in their field and
would have no hesitation to recommend them
We now have a beautiful new roof with a great warranty and no worries about leaking. Also, with the new vents, our attic is properly ventilated for the first time!
Thank you Josh and crew for an awesome experience!
We met Josh at the Springfield PCCC home show in March. We left our contact information and Josh promptly called us early the next week to schedule and estimate. He arrived on time to do the estimate, emailed us the estimate within a few days, and called to followup. During both our initial meeting and followup he spent considerable time discussing metal roof versus shingles (we're tired of shingles blowing off the roof) as well as various shingle manufacturers, warranties and colors. He made a couple of estimate rewrites at our request. He also came out a second time and worked with us to choose not only a fabulous shingle color, but also siding, gutter and window colors so we will have a beautiful home and not an ugly box! His bid was very reasonable (much lower than one bid, and within $100 of our third bid).
Josh kept in touch with us throughout the rainy spring to work out scheduling, also coordinating with a building contractor who is doing some remodeling work for us. When the first workday came the roofing crew arrived promptly and got to work. Josh came as well to introduce us to the roofing foreman and to make sure everything got started well. During the roofing process Josh kept in touch with us by phone about every other day to be sure we were satisfied with how things were progressing. He and his dad (who started the company) both came out every few days during the job to visually inspect the work.
The roofing crew was just terrific! Very quiet, very polite and respectful, and we generally had no idea anyone was here except for the regular roofwork noise. No loud radios, no inappropriate language, no hollering back and forth. Just very well-mannered and quiet guys. They asked me where I wanted tarps put to not kill grass, checked to make sure they weren't covering any flowers, etc. They cleaned up debris and tools every night and left the worksite neat and tidy. We could not have asked for a better crew!
JIC's finished work is beautiful. Our home and barn roofs look fantastic! When the work was complete, Josh came out one last time and got up on both roofs to check the work when finished. He went over the warranty information one last time and made sure we knew to contact him anytime with any concerns. We've had no concerns in the three months since they finished work. The roofs are gorgeous!
I highly recommend JIC to anyone I know looking for a roofing contractor, and look forward to them returning later this fall to install our new siding and gutters.
When faced with a home improvement project of this level of cost, you always want to feel as though you at least get your money's worth. In this case without hesitation I feel as though I got more than what I paid for and would hire them again no doubt.
In the spring he called me, as promised, and brought shingle samples to my office. He asked about the best time to do job. Since I run an office I preferred Friday and Saturday since business is slow those days. Josh was very accommodating. When Friday came so did the rains. It rained the next several weekends. Each time Josh called telling me the weather predictions. He explained that they prefer to start tearing off a roof only when the probability of rain is less than 30%. I appreciated his caution. We finally got a sunshiny day. The front half was torn off and replaced. It was several weeks before weather permitted to complete the back half.
I was ready to leave on vacation and wanted to work out payment arrangements, hoping they would complete the job while I was gone. Josh assured me that it would be fine if I sent him a check after I returned.
I returned two weeks later to an office with a beautiful roof! The clean-up was immaculate. I only wish all the service people I deal with were as pleasant and prompt and professional as Josh. It was a pleasure doing business with JIC. I would recommend them without reservation.
"(deleted member name), Thank you so much for the great review. It was an absolute pleasure working for you, customers like yourself are truly appreciated! I'm glad you love your new roof as much as I do; I think its beautiful!"
Just to give you an example of the difference between JIC and others. I actually received one bid from a guy that claimed to have a license, but when I checked here... https://www.idfpr.com/licenselookup/licenselookup.asp, it never showed up. I had another bid from a guy that wanted to install the roof in the middle of February. I was ready to sign the deal, it was the cheapest price, but decided to call JIC and get one last quote. Josh came out and when I told him I wanted the roof now, he said that asphalt shingles need to be installed in warm weather because the heat of the sun makes the asphalt tab melt/stick (or something like that). So I googled it and discovered that Josh was right. The difference is that Josh truly does care. He wants to do a good job. Some of these other guys don't care. They'll lie about licenses and slap an asphalt roof on in the middle of winter just to make a buck. I'm not saying all roofing companies in the area are like this. I'm just saying I had a few come out that probably didn't have insurance, one that didn't have a license, and one that didn't plan to follow best practice.
From February until April, Josh contacted me on a regular basis - an email, a phone call, etc. He constantly checked the weather, and a few times it warmed up enough that he thought he might be able to get his crew out. It finally warmed up in April, and his crew arrived on Monday morning. They stripped the entire roof and laid the paper in one day. I walked outside that night and couldn't find a single nail or shingle anywhere in the yard. The cleanup was unbelievable. The next day, they installed the shingles and the roof was done. Two days, finished.
Another thing that really impressed me was the roofing crew. These were good guys - they joked around with me whenever I came out to check on the progress and I could hear them laughing and singing at times - just a really good vibe from a group of guys doing extremely hard work, something unexpected. Roofers often get a bad reputation, so this was just another bonus.
If you do your homework, you will choose JIC. If you don't want to do your homework, take my advice, and just call JIC. It's really that simple.
A few months ago, we decided that the roof of our newer home was nearing the end of it's life. I contacted several local roofers, including JIC, for quotes. It was no surprise when the bid from Josh at JIC was the most complete and detailed of any of them. The warranty that JIC offered was also superior to what other roofers could provide (if anything!). Josh was also, by far, the easiest to contact. Josh readily responded to my emailed questions. This was in stark contrast to some other roofers who seemed more interested in playing phone tag than in earning my business.
I accepted JIC's bid in October, assuming they'd get to us in the Spring. Josh said that they would try to squeeze us in before winter. In December, he kept to his word and called to say they were ready to go. I was a bit concerned with the temperatures being a bit on the cold side, but Josh reassured me that they were fully prepared to do the roofing work in cooler weather.
He and his team arrived on time on the morning we agreed upon and immediately set to work. Over the next few days, they quickly performed all of the work as promised. Josh stopped by each evening to check on the crew's work, and we had several nice chats on the progress. He was very attentive and answered all of my questions. One thing that really impressed me is the complete lack of construction debris. I don't know how they did it, but I can't find one scrap of roofers felt, a bit of old shingle, or even any nails from their work. It's like they waved a magic wand and the roof was replaced.
The only problem we encountered is that one of his guys accidentally tried to pull out one of our 12V landscape lights and damaged the wiring on the fixture. Josh was very apologetic and personally took care of repairing the wiring. The light's as good as new again.
The roof looks amazing. We sleep well at night knowing that the roof over our heads will be solid & secure for many years to come.
Thanks, JIC!
If you need your roof repaired, replaced or have a question about the condition of your roof, call Josh! He will take care of you.
