It only took him a day to complete the work. They showed up on time and were extremely professional. I would recommend him.

I have left two voicemails with this builder, one at the beginning of October and another 3 weeks later. I still have not gotten any call back or response. The reviews on Angie's List are very positive so I'm surprised by the lack of follow through from this company. If they can't even return a phone call I don't feel comfortable being locked into a contract with them as they work on my house.
Description of Work: None. They will not return my calls.

I continue to use Joe Testa because I really like that they come when they are supposed to and their prices are reasonable. It is easy to get in touch with them. We use them for everything and have been using them for almost 15 years. He has done two additions, all our windows, and out front porch.
Description of Work: Joe Testa came out to build a pet ramp for me.

We felt that the pricing was reasonable and it has held up great, so we are glad we did it. He was great. He is very old school and we liked that he was onsite and we liked that it was his son Cory that did the labor. We have done two additions and the windows with him and we always go back to him. He has actually done the porch twice and that is how long we used him. His prices are very good because we still do compare prices.
Description of Work: We used Joe Testa Carpentry last year and took down the old porch and put in a new one with composite decking.

He does an excellent job and very efficient. He does what he says he would and is fairly priced. He cleans the place before he leaves and I will continue to use him in future.
Description of Work: I used the services of Joe Testa Carpentry for windows and doors, about a year ago.

Response from Joe Test Carpentry & Roofing
I am so sorry I was not able to meet with you. I was in the VA Hospital at that time. I apologize.

He was very nice and his price came in very close to the person that I am using. Unfortunately, he never gave me a written estimate, he was very slow in getting back to me, and I had to call him to remind him of our appointment. He didn’t bring samples and he wasn’t as prepared as the person I chose. I thought he was a sweet guy and he brought his son who was nice, but he just wasn’t as on top of things as the person I chose. It was a big job and he didn’t seem that interested.
Description of Work: Joe Testa Carpentry gave me a quote for roofing, gutters, downspouts, new clapboards, and all new windows.

Great. He came up the day I called him and fixed it the next morning - no charge. I would really recommend him to anyone in the Milford area. He's Old School, but I like that.
Description of Work: Joe Testa had put a new roof on part of our house about 6 years ago. In June we had alot of rain and got water coming in around the pipe above the bathroom. Turns out it had nothing to do with the roof itself. The plumber had fit two different size pipes together and water was leaking in between them. Joe put a curved piece of pipe over it. No charge.

Joe not only showed up to do the appraisal when he said he would he accomodated my schedule by coming at 7am. We had a leak in our roof and joe diagnosed as a issue with siding which was installed incorrect by the previous owner, rather than selling me an entire new roof as I had requested (for more money) he provided accurate diagnoses you can only get from a true professional. I Would highly recommend Joe he is a true professional who tells the truth and follows thru on his word, I could not be happier!
Description of Work: repaired faulty siding and minor roofing repair

It was a great experience. Joe was very easy to work with and extremely knowledgeable. We didn't even need an architect. He sat down with us and we drew up plans for what we wanted. When we came home from Brimfield with two stained glass windows, he put them in for us and framed them beautifully. He also did the corner window seat we were hoping for, with storage below. Our house is an antique colonial and the addition blends perfectly, inside and outside - it looks like it has always been there.
Description of Work: Joe Testa built a family room addition for us, redid the bathroom, carved out a laundry room and put on a new roof. The family room includes a gas fireplace and built in air conditioner. He added a slider and access to the existing screened in porch, kitchen and dining room. He also built a breakfast bar for us, which separates the kitchen from the new family room.

Excellent. Testa was one of three roofers I asked for quotes. His price was not the lowest but he was very knowledgeable and provided references that raved about his work. One reference was on her third job with the company. Joe started and finished when he anticipated. His crew did a neat job and cleaned up as if he had never been there. Both families and the adjacent neighbors were very pleased. He found more soft spots than anticipated, called about what it would take and charged a very reasonable amount. He also underestimated the number of layers to be removed and did the job without question or additional charge, mentioning it only after he completed the job.
Description of Work: Crew replaced three layers of shingles on a 2-family house and large detached garage with architectural shingles.
