They did not repair the bumper paint like I thought they would, though I admit it was not on the estimate (I discovered after repair).

I expect a minimum amount of professionalism and courtesy when someone advertising for work and lead you to believe they want to work. If someone doesn't want to work they shouldn't advertise or they should simply say they are busy so that I can call someone else. In this economy, it really surprises me how little respect some business people have for their customers.

I realize this is a while ago, but the problems with the work they did continue. They started close to promised time. They were untidy, with nails and cigarette butts around. They finished within the range they said, They used a cheaper shingle than on the estimate and didn't put an edge on roofs as agreed. Ellis was not responsive when I mentioned this. The price was low, so i let it go. Then the nightmare began. Within one month, black mold started appearing INSIDE...on the wall of my bedroom no less. It was 'blooming' in a number of places. I called and workers returned, saying it must be leaking around the chimney and they would fix it. The mold continued to grow, despite clorox cleanings. Parts of the ceiling in the bedroom started to discolor and get soft. Ellis returned in July, August and September, each time saying they fixed it. A dark spot began to form in the livingroom ceiling, beneath the affected bedroom. By October, they assured me it was all fixed. But now it was clear that the bedroom had to be torn apart to get the mold out and the ceiling repaired. They said it was not their problem, and that's why I had insurance. This conversation continued for a week or two, til i finally just caved and called my insurance agent and had them cover the renovations. The agent said he hoped I learned not to go with the lowest estimate without some serious recommendations to support the company's competence. The insurance paid nearly $2.400, and raised my rates. Time has passed, and now mold is growing again in the same locations. I recently had another construction firm come and re-seal the area around the chimney, which is still not right. This was an additional expense of $150. I'm hoping I caught it early enough so that the clorox and a little touch up paint will do...the idea of tearing out walls again is horrifying."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ny/auburn/w-j-ellis%27-son-exteriors-reviews-5030648.htm"},"position":10}]}

Very satisfied with work actually repaired inner part of existing faucet which of course saved us expenses.
He explained everything very well and was a very friendly guy. Asked us to just call him "Dave". From our perspective on the ground, the chimney looked great when he was done. He was very neat and cleaned up the brick chips that fell.

"I am sure that all positive reviews for this company are fake. Nothing that was promised to me was delivered. My siding project is still ongoing for over 1 month. Was told that it would be done in week. Had one rain day. They have system like this: 1) sales person who never installed anything he will promise you things that obviously are not true, 2) crew that is subcontracted but not Gunner, mine was driving for over 2 hours away, 3) person who oversees the project but has little control over anything, no supply, doesn't know the crew, crew does not listen to him, main office does not listen to him, 4) main office does not reply to you. They just tell me to talk to project manager who has no control.
So you understand that if there are any issue you are on your own. Quality or work is not good. Many times I had to point to the crew what's wrong, planks are broken yet they were still installing it, caulking is done they way that I can do it better, they cut wires to awning etc"

"JMT construction was the best contractor I have ever worked with and I have worked with a lot of them. From the quote process which was short, sweet and to the point. It only took about 20 minutes for the quote and Jim explained everything. Other quotes we got from national brands took 2+ hours and were not as informative. The quote was very reasonable and was so much cheaper than other companies for the same windows!! Jim explained everything and was extremely diligent with communication. He would always notify us when he was on his way and when he was done for the day and what the next step was. He answered all my questions and concerns. The work was done quickly, in a professional manner, and they did a great job of cleaning up the mess from the job. Jim also refused to install two of the windows because he did not like how they opened and closed. Most contractors would have just thrown them in and left the problem with the home owner. Jim did not. He ordered new windows and put them in as soon as they arrived, at no additional cost or inconvenience. Jim also took the time to show me some water damage he discovered during demolition. Most contractors would not have said anything because it had nothing to do with the windows but instead was because of missing gutters. Jim offered to repair the damage at an amazing price and it was done to perfection. I would hire JMT to do work on any of my properties."

Yes, you can salvage grill grates with some surface rust. Simply apply a commercial rust remover or a homemade vinegar, baking soda, or lemon juice paste with a wire brush or steel wool. After removing the rust from the metal, you can then apply a thin layer of rust-preventing oil to keep the grates looking good as new for longer. However, grate replacement is often better when the rust is deep.
The average cost of welding is about $300 per project. Welding project costs range from $125 to $490 on average, depending on the type of metal, the size and complexity of the project, and your geographic location. On the low end of the price range, you might pay $50 up to $1,200 or more. The type of metal rods used and the welding method also factor into the project’s overall cost.
Metal roofing gets hot when it’s exposed to direct sunlight, but aluminum is naturally reflective and can actually help keep your home cooler in hotter, sunnier climates. The solar reflectance of aluminum is significantly higher than that of asphalt shingles and clay tile, so a metal roof will reduce solar heat gain in your home.
Regular cleaning, rust prevention treatments, and protective coatings extend lifespan and appearance.
Repairs can typically be completed within a few hours, though larger projects requiring multiple layers or precise shaping may take longer.
