The workers arrived on time every day they were very courteous and knew their jobs well. I am well pleased with the finished product. I will recommend Joe Ritchie's company to anyone who wants a contractor who delivers quality work.

I had a new roof put in by this company. There were no existing issues with the old roof, it was just getting up there in age. We got a new roof put in and 6 months later there was a leak in our bedroom. We were told that it was an issue with our downspout not our roof. They put a heater in the downspout to fix the problem. Then more recently there was a bad thunderstorm. Our bedroom had another leak (same location as other leak mentioned) and I called them back to ask for help. I was pretty much told I’m stupid on the phone because I didn’t get the roof coated by them and they said they could come out and fix it for $600 without even coming to look at it. (The old roof had no issues and hadn’t been coated in 15-20 years!) I’m extremely disappointed in the quality of the new roof and the lack of professionalism I experienced. Will be getting other roofing companies to come take a look and see what the actual problem is. Hoping to encounter someone a bit more understanding and professional. There was no leaks at all prior to this roof. I’m just trying to understand why this is now an issue with a new roof.
Response from Joe Ritchie Inc - General Contractor & Builder

"Please see attached warranty information that you did not maintain. We installed new roof July 2015, as required you were suppose to have your roof aluminum coated with in the first two years and you failed to complete. Six months after your roof was install, there was a severe ice and snow storm, you called us and we immediately responded. Your downspouts were frozen solid with ice which caused ice damming. We immediately responded, thawed out with torch and unclogged your drain lines, FREE of charge. This issue had nothing to do with the roof we istalled. Four months ago you called me and I immediately responded to you, explained to you that your warranty was void, because you did not comply with it, but I was willing to come out and coat your roof and reinstate your warranty for you for the standard cost of the original first roof coating that you missed per your warranty. You refused our services and absolutely stated that you will not pay anything, we did try to accomadate you, as all PA roofing contractors know if rubber roofs are not maintained with coatings they will always fail."

Much of the work was done satisfactorily with exception of the floor. Floor material was a poor choice and was not I talked properly. Boards slide as measurement must have not been done. Attempt to fix was unsuccessful. Crew was professional and punctual. Work was done quickly but lacked quality.

I contacted this company because they had multiple reviews confirming their ability to work on both roofs and decks. I mentioned during my initial contact that I was looking for an estimate on a leaking roof and roof deck replacement. Joe (?) came out — he was half an hour late — a few days later looked for maybe 3 minutes and said he would get back to me with pricing. I followed up a full week later after not hearing back and he said they were not taking jobs like this because they are "a pain in the ***". I'm not clear why a "general contractor" is unable to replace a roof deck and a roof, nor am I clear why this couldn't have been stated prior to me taking the morning off of work for him to come out. I also don't know why I had to call and follow up rather than telling me that when he looked at it or via a follow up call/email. TL;DR Does not do roof/roof deck jobs because they are "a pain in the ***". Ignore any reviews stating that they do.

The job went very well. Ed and Dustin were two great guys. They were on time every morning, cleaned up every night and were very detailed in their work. They listened to my concerns and were very easy to work with. I'm very happy with the job they did for me.

Went great. Finished product was exactly as I had envisioned. Joe’s men were punctual and cleaned up each day. Nicest deck in our development!

It went well. Joe was very responsive to all requests and really worked some magic with scheduling sub-contractors and inspections. His crew was there everyday on time and put in a full day's work.

Here again, he gave me an indication that he was going to do more, or he sounded like he was going to do more for the price, but didn't.  He didn't take any pictures or show me of the damage and what he had accomplished, I might have known that he didn't do a everything he was supposed to.  Just like now, I had to call him for storm damage and I had a piece of metal come loose.  I thought he had tacked these down. I don't know what he did as he didn't show me any pictures. He needs to show what he actually did. I'm understanding that he's doing something and then he doesn't actually do it. What he DID he did well.  It's what he didn't do that's lacking.

"Hi [Member Name Removed], We did a small repair job for you over 4 years ago which included a roof coating. Any further future damages that you had on another part of your house was not under any warranty from us, because we only completed a repair job. Thank you for your review and appreciate your business. Best Regards, Joe Ritchie"

All A's.  Overall, he comes over right away.  The quality is good and he's pleasant to get along with. I had to have someone else come in to fix something in the back of the house.  Joe couldn't get to it for one reason or another.  He doesn't realize that then I have to call someone else to come out and fix it and charge me more. He said he was going to do more for the price but he never really did.

It did not. He set up the appointment for Tues., the week of 7/26/16. He said that he would call on Monday 7/25 to let me know when he could come on Tues., 7/26. He never called on Monday, 7/25 with appointment for Tues. I called his number again on 7/27, and left a voice mail message that he said that he would call on Mon., for the Tues. appointment. I believe that I called again and spoke to his wife ( I presume) and she said that she would give him the message. As of today, 8/3/16, I have not heard from the contractor.

I contacted Mr. Ritchie about adding a bathroom to my home. He gave me an estimate and the work began within 1-2 weeks. All his workers were respectful, since my elderly parents were at the home during this construction. From the construction workers to the plumber, to the electrician; all were professional in providing the services for my new bathroom. I chose the tiles and they had no problems with installing it. My bathroom is beautiful with extra closet spaces and shelves. I'm planning to renovate my other bathroom and kitchen in the future and hope that Mr. Ritchie can do the work. He always checked on his workers and made sure all the work was being done correctly; any questions I had, he would address. Mr. Ritchie is dedicated to quality work..

Response from Joe Ritchie Inc - General Contractor & Builder

"I did everything possible to try to make this customer and his wife happy. We shot elevations for his driveway with a transit that he insisted on changing, for some reason he thought he knew more about concrete then I did, and he would not listen to my professional experience. So after some argument I installed elevation where he insisted and then when job was poured, he was not happy with his elevation, sometimes it can be frustrating when a homeowner can be relentless and continue to tell a contractor how to do his job. This homeowner also had this same driveway installed 1 year prior from a different contractor and was not happy with the elevations, once we install our driveway, that is when we realized why he was not happy. During this job they were video taping us and his wife was verbally abusive to him and anyone within ear shot from behind the closed door, scary experience."

Joe came to the house and we discissed repairs needed.  He never went up on the roof.  In discussing a potential addition he asked me if I had any idea how much that would cost?  I told him no, that's why I was asking for an estimate.. I guess he didn't take me seriously, as I never keard back from him again.
Response from Joe Ritchie Inc - General Contractor & Builder

"I did give this customer a verbal estimate. Some jobs require blueprints for an accurate estimate such as an addition, I felt this project needed blueprints for me to give a quote. I did call homeowner and give a ball park quote of approximately what this job would cost, but again with out blueprints it may not have been accurate."
