John arrived on time and was very honest and professional. He explained the problems caused by whoever installed the old roof and even showed me the worst areas in person after I went up on the roof myself. We decided to go with another company to get a  new roof, but only because the company we chose was more local.

They did an amazing job, very thorough and professional, and the price they have quoted for further services is fair and reasonable.  We are using their services for replacing our roof, exterior painting, gutter replacement, etc.

The roofers arrived bright and early on the 12th of April at 8:30 and proceded to correct the pitch of the gutter to alleviate the water retention problem and lessen the chance of a major build up of ice in the winter! They also sealed the seams in the corner of the gutter that leaked when it rained!! The work went from 8;30 a.m to approximately 10:15 a.m. with a stop at Home Depot to get sealer!!

The roofers also hosed out the debris from the gutter and cleaned up nicely!! If I ever have need of a contractor again, I will surely consider them!!!

John came and recommended repairs. The quote was $550 for the repairs and applied also the $100 discount. He was flexible on when to do it and it was helpful because my schedule was tight.

Response from K C Contracting

"hi showed up for inspection could not get up on roof because it was to high for the ladder i had with me but went inside to see where possable leaks were showing i spent 15 minutes exsplaining that in my opinion that she did not have a roof leak based on what she had shown me so there was no need to come back with a taller ladder the house is old and just had some strctial cracks and some bacterea in the plaster there was no water marks in one area and a couple streaks on one wall whitch was condinsation .when i left i asked her to keep an eye on it and if it got worse or changed to call me and i would come back to re check with all that said i still will come back if you still think there is a leak thanks john"

We called to ask questions about repairing or replacing a skylight in a home we are closing on.  Even though this company is too far away to provide services for our new home, they spent ten minutes on the phone with us (right before they were closing shop for the day) helping to estimate price quotes and giving tips.  They are very friendly and professional, and we would use their services if we lived closer!  Thanks so much!

I called this company on January 14th and John did call back the next day to say that he might stop by on the 16th, and if not that day, he would come by on Sunday January 18th.  He stated he would call first.  He never showed up. I called him Sunday evening t to ask what happened and when he could stop by.....it is now the 24th, and no word from John. 
I believe that integrity and honesty is most important in the service industry, and some companies, such as this one, don't seem to believe that.  It's pretty basic, if you can't make an appointment call.  I question whether this company will do anything they say they will do.

John made the process easy. He communicates clearly, walks you through each step and checks on the progress of the work daily. He is very responsive and makes you the customer very comfortable. The roof looks great and will last us until we retire.

John, was prompt in responding to our call about getting an estimate.  He really listened to what we wanted and constructed it to our wants.  John is a throw back to old times in terms of being straight forward and someone you can trust that he will do what he says.  When we decided to go with K C Contracting, John was quick to get us on the schedule.  John, who is an owner/worker, was onsite for our job every day.  The crew showed up promptly and worked all 5 days of the week regardless of weather conditions.  The job took about 4 weeks.
John and his crew were friendly, professional, and talented.  My wife appreciated their professionalism and respect they showed around her and our young children.  The crew was also clean, and would clean up the job site at the end of each day.  There was always an open line of communication and therefore the end result was always what we wanted.  John was readily available and was always open to phone calls in the evening to discuss the progress and any questions that we had.
John is a stickler for detail and works to instill this in his crew.  I noticed this when we was looking over their staining of the wood and was making sure they applied it nice and even.  In addition their finish carpentry work was beautiful.
We would definitely use K C Contracting in the future for other construction projects.

I left a message to get an estimate for my leaky roof. From the moment I answered the phone John was annoyed. He began asking detailed questions about what kind of roof it is. What do I know? I'm not a roofer. I need my roof repaired and wanted someone to look at it and give me an estimate. He then asked if the roof is "walkable." If it is not, he would charge me $100 because he didn't want he doesn't want to send 2 guys out for nothing. He also said that they don't just give out estimates. What kind of business is this? I was done with him. I told him I would call someone else.

John and his crew were exceptional from day one up until the completion of the project.  John was honest and helpful throughout the planning process.  He offered a very competitive price when compared with other contractors also known for a high standard of work.  John uses high quality material from the start and is very knowledgeable about the pros and cons of various product lines.  
During the work phase of our project the KC Contracting crew arrived on time and worked consistently throughout the day.  They are responsible, friendly and respectful and also worked quietly as a courtesy to the neighbors.  We felt extremely comfortable having them around.  
A week into construction John found some siding that was rotted and in very bad shape.  His crew removed the old siding and replaced it with high quality James Hardie siding for a minimum price.  The communication about the extra work was kind and clear.  John made every effort to make sure we were well informed and comfortable with the extra repairs.  
Upon completion the work KC Contracting performed is excellent and has held up very well.  In my opinion the best thing about John and his crew is that they do things the right way without you even having to ask.
I highly recommend KC Contracting and will be using them again in the future.  John is an absolute pleasure to deal with and he has earned my business and trust.

John & his workers were great. Very Professional, Polite & did a great Job. Everyday they cleaned up like they were never there. When they finished, My wife & I were not home and they cleaned up so much they swept the entire garage which was completely unexpected. As far as price goes, I received 4 estimates and John was right in the middle, He worked with me a little to make me feel better, I really appreciated that. The end result is, My Roof is beautiful, thanks to john's recommendation of color, the workers were great and I am 110 % satisfied. I would Highly recommend KC Contracting to everyone. One more thing that floored me, I asked one of his workers if he could replace a light bulb for me that was located up high that I couldn't get to myself and offered him 20 bucks to do it, He refused the money and installed the bulb. Again, another reason why when i'm ready to have other work done I will be calling John and his team. Highly recommended !

Our roof had given us trouble for years, particularly areas around the eyebrow dormers which the original roofer had attempted to fix several times after the house was built but never with much success.  So now it was time to replace the roof completely (24 yrs old). I had several highly rated roofers in mind based on Angie's list as well as neighbor's experiences.  John Kindler was at the top of my list.  When I contacted him, his crew came out and measured the roof, and provided an estimate in a matter of days - no hounding or call backs required.  The price was within my expectations, so I contracted with KC Contracting without bothering to obtain any other quotes  (If I got a significantly lower quote I would wonder what corners were being cut). 
Work began in June close to the time John originally estimated.  They brought in a small dump truck instead of using a dumpster which was a real good idea because they could move it around if necessary.  Work took about 6 working days. We had at least one day of rain delay.  We were also hit by an unusually heavy rain on a Sunday - a day off - but John's guys came out in the heavy rains and secured an area that was not quite finished so it could weather the storm.  
I appreciated that John's crew was mostly made up of local guys - not out-of-towners as is so often the case these days.  They probably took a little longer than some of these other outfits. My wife lost her cool at times with the construction lasting as long as it did - we have vaulted ceilings, and the noise is pretty amplified in the house.
But most importantly, it has been 3 very rainy months since the job has been completed, and there is absolutely no evidence of any leakage (!!!)   The results show that the guys took their time to do some complicated flashing and roofing the right way, which is what I wanted.  I told John up front that if there was any question about replacing or repairing things they found, that I didn't want to cut corners to save a few bucks - I wanted a leak free roof.  They did find a fair amount of sheathing that needed to be replaced, and the additional charges were still very reasonable.  
So I'm very pleased with the work that K.C. Contracting did, and would absolutely recommend them.  It feels so much better to have a good roof over our heads!

If you want to deal with a real straight shooter hire John Kindler.  I picked K C Contracting after interviewing five good companies.  Angie's list was a great help in this process.  I chose John because I could see the years of experience that he brought to the job.  The details of his bid and his evaluation of the work involved showed me the nuts and bolts of this roof replacement and let me sort through the different bids that I received.
A new roof was a huge deal for us.  John's price was not the lowest but we all know how that goes.  I liked talking to John during this process.  I never felt like I was being "worked."  In the end I just felt confident he would do what he said he would do.  I was right.
It's hard to find roofers in the middle of summer.  After John accepted the job he got us on his schedule and actually moved us up when a week cleared up for him.   
John's crew was great.  Hard working, considerate polite guys who cleaned up the work site every day before they left.  They even swept our driveway where their truck was parked.  My wife really appreciated that.  John helped her pick the shingle style and color and our new roof looks great.
The wood trim panels around our chimney had rotted at the bottom and needed replaced.  John repaired the damage at a fair price and showed me the materials bill.  Also he figured out a drainage problem with a gutter section and made sure that the water flow was now good.  You never know what you are going to get into until the old roof is off and John spelled out his repair prices in his estimate.  I always felt completely in the loop about these extras.  I approved everything in advance.
We are very happy with the finished project and have already recommended K C Contracting to friends.

John Kindler was very prompt in responding to my request for an estimate on our roof.  He was professional and courteous.  He also provided an extremely fair price and was able to fit us in about a week after we hired him for the job.  John and his crew got to our home at the exact time they said they would and began work immediately.  They completed the entire project in just a few days, and the roof looks great.  We would definitely recommend John and K C Contracting to anyone looking to have roofing work done.  My only complaint was that some of the workers left cigarette butts on our driveway.  But, for the excellent work they did, I can forgive them for that tiny inconvenience.
