P. J. McTavish & Company Inc.

P. J. McTavish & Co. from Burtonsville, MD was hired to replace and repair a very old damaged roof on my Rancher Home, which has a few additions in the rear. These additions have many peaks, valleys and an area of flat roof. We had many other companies look at it and some didn’t even want to take on the job, and if they did it was for a price I could not afford. I had officially given up hope. This truly was not an easy job to partake in. Hiring P.J. McTavish & Co. was truly the best decision. Mr. Pat was caring and truthful about the horrible shape my roof was in. I knew he was being truly honest, cause I heard from other contractors the same problems. But he assured us his team would do the job as efficiently as possible. Each and everyone on his team were respectful, efficient, and professional. I was so impressed with how his team worked so closely together and seemed to take a lot of respect in their work, and our home and yard…which let’s be honest…you do not see that much in today’s world. Pat kept us well informed of all the progress. There are not enough “Thank You’s” I can give to this whole team of wonderful men. Everyone stayed steadily busy and worked very hard. Mr. “Pat” McTavish must be so proud of his employees. Happy employees show good management. My hat is off to you Pat and your team! The work was supreme and done extremely well. I can actually say I can now sleep well at night knowing my roof is not going to collapse,,,Yes….it was that bad…I feel like I have a whole new home! Theresa Brashears Edgewater, MD

PJ McTavish was outstanding from start to finish. They were responsive, the owner himself, contacted me within minutes of when I left a message. He understood the roofing issues, took time to listen to my explanation, looked up the house on Google maps as we were talking, and fit me into his schedule the very same day. He did not oversell or undersell what needed to be done in order to correct the problem. When the repair crew arrived, they too were very knowledgeable, and professional and explained their approach and rationale for the fix. They did not know it at the time, but I am a real estate investor with over 30 years of home renovation experience and it was evident to me that the McTavish employees doing the repair, were doing it right, and taking all of the right precautions, using the correct materials and exercising the right workmanship to ensure a successful repair. Their knowledge and expertise was second to none and I cannot give a higher recommendation for roof repair, particularly if you have a house with an old slate roof. They did not take any shortcuts and did the job right, at a very fair and reasonable price. They are at the top of my list for all my future roofing and roof repair related needs. Truly an excellent company at every level, including superb customer service. five out of five stars!!!!

Patrick and his crew were professional and speedy and their quality of work was top notch. There was a bit of miscommunication over one repair to a dryer vent pipe that did not get done. Patrick called me the next day to tell me the work to the dryer vent wasn't completed and he sent his crew back out the next day to complete it - a repair I probably would never have noticed wasn't done. While their price wasn't as low as some other companies that came out, the quality of work is well worth it. Patrick really knows roofs - especially those on old row homes.

We used TPO for the flat roofs. Several shingle options were provided. We chose Certainteed Landmark Pro 50 year warranty shingle, It was best for the style of the roof. Roofer & associated Carpentry Company advised there may be other needed work that is "Out of Scope" and would advise as they discovered the need. They did so. The autumn 2016 weather was good, and work was done promptly, with thorough clean up of the premises. Flashing was replaced, the Chimney and gutters were inspected, Replacement hangers for gutters were installed. only one of the existing gutters was found to be in need of being replaced.

He was very responsive. I'm going to have him come out and give me an estimate to redo my whole roof. I called another company and they said they could get to me in three weeks. I called him and he came out the same day. It only took him less than an hour to do the repairs. He got up on the roof, identified what the problem was. There was a nail that was popping up through the shingles. He pounded it down and put some tar or something over it. That was it. He was really fast.
