JPS said they can do the flashing and asked about siding work too.
I told them I can do siding myself, but give me a price.
I had had already purchased the following materials to minimize expense and time. I had shingles, ice guard, house wrap, j-channel, corner channel, siding, and siding nails.
I did not have the step flashing and roofing rails.
I was quoted $2.800 and I told the Contractor (NO WAY!) I will do it myself.
That I had 95% of the materials.
He dropped to around $2,000 and I said I will think about it.
He said he can do it for $1,500.
I told him I will still need to let him know.
When I had no one else to turn to, to do the work I called JPS and said I will take them up on the quote.
This time the roofer guy for the company came out and suggested not to do sub structure repair that it wasn't need. So they took $200 off.
So the Estimate was $1,300 in which the wrote on the Estimate (Guaranteed Not To Leak)
I paid them with a check $650.00 before they started
They were to start in two days and didn't until over a week.
When I got home from work on a Friday, they were just finishing up.
I was asked if I could get the remaining $650 in cash to pay the rest.
I did just that for them.
I got up on the roof to look it over and noticed that the house wrap was flapping outside the siding and there were pine needles up against the roof and wall which made me call them to ask the owner of JPS if they did the step flashing and he replied NO, because there was flashing there.
I was furious and told him that, I paid you to do the step flashing and not that it was important, but also paid you to install siding.
That it will leak when the winter comes. He told me it will not leak.
I told him I want money back for him not following the estimate/contract.
He tried to offer $100 back. I was very upset and said I want more then that back! You guys only put up a 2.0-2.5 square of siding and I took you and one other worker 7 hours and only used 1 tube of caulking.
He offered $300 back or more siding work.
Not even two weeks later my roof was leaking during a light rain. I called Mr. Stopko and told him of it.
His response "No Way I can't believe it's leaking.
I told him to come look at it and fix it.
He played games with me for weeks. More like over a month and never once came to look at the leaking roof.
I called Maddy Construction and paid them $1,330.00 and the leak was fixed.
I ask Mr. Stopko to pay Maddy Const. the $1,330.00.
His response was that's more then I charged you originally.
I explained that they had to very carefully remove new siding now that you just put up and step flash, counter flash etc.
I told him I will go to the Magistrates, and he said he will drag it out forever.
Why you ask? Because his name is Joseph Brian Stopko, but he goes by J. Brian Stopko to hide his identity.
In the Cambria County Courts he has over 15 Civil cases against him and over a dozen Criminal charges. this guy is a Professional Con-Artist.
I threated him with Court again and the Better Business Bureau and set up a payment arrangement of $900 be returned to me by April 31, 2015. with payments of $150 on the 15th of each month.
He broke the agreement several times and finally paid the $900.00 in July 2015.

Don and his son showed up on time and covered and protected my floors, my furniture and even the air in the rest of the house. He explained to me what they were doing...how long it would take and enabled us to check in and see how the job was going. Don finished the work ON TIME, ON BUDGET and with PERFECT CRAFTSMANSHIP.
Don was asked to duplicate an archway that joins the two rooms and he did so with precision. As a professional Artist I wanted to add some of my own finishing touches and he even worked with me so that I was able to complete the portions of the project that I felt comfortable doing myself.
In addition, my husband pointed out some construction performed at our home by another contractor which we felt might be a bit sub-par...Don agreed and explained to us what the safety standards in the industry are and IMMEDIATELY fixed the mess someone else had left us.
Not only am I SATISFIED with the job Don did for us...I feel safer in my home and I know that I have a reliable, professional I can call whenever I need something done right...the FIRST time!!!

They were very polite, clean, efficient and professional. Our family has called on the Lord to lead us in almost every decision that we have to make. In this day of MODERN TECHNOLOGY we now must confess that in our urgency to find knowledgeable and professional people to restore our home, sadly this time we turned to Google instead of GOD. We just wanted to be sure that we had researched everything on log restoration before we invested any money. But...Our GOD is AMAZING! He sent us a team of Christian men to do the job anyway! They were just a great group of guys to have around for a week. Our home looks Beautiful and we have fallen in love with it all over again! We loved watching the process and Jason always took time to explain everything they were doing to us. They took such great care to repair the damaged logs and blasting process removed EVERYTHING on the surface. Many layers of stain, years of weathering, and water stains from a leaky roof. We did have some prep work to do before Blastmasters arrived at our home to begin the job. We removed everything from our porch. Took out all of our screens and then we put up plastic all over the interior walls to help contain the dust in the house. After the blasting was done I pulled down the plastic one room at a time to vacuum and wash down the walls. This was a lot of work, but worth the time. Both the blasting and the restoring process requires dry warm weather. Jason always kept a very close eye on the weather reports before and during the time he was here. Do not think that this is a service that you can call and order and then have done within a week or two. Because of the weather and the great work Blastmasters does, plan to be put onto a waiting list. The end result is well worth the wait. Get on the list! You will be glad that you did!"},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/pa/portersville/blastmaster-surface-restoration%2C-inc-reviews-6519915.htm"},"position":5}]}

When it comes to flooring installers, licensing laws vary from state to state. Even if your state doesn’t require your flooring installer to have a license, your municipality or city might, so it’s a good idea to check with your town before getting started. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local general contractor guidelines.
Hiring an unlicensed flooring installer could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The cost for professional floor cleaning is $250 on average. This cost can range from $100 to $1,500, depending on the type of flooring and its square footage.

The cost to install countertops is $3,105 on average. This project cost can range from $400 to $8,500, depending on the material, edging, and countertop size.
