Get matched with top subcontractors in Watertown, WI

"Easy process from start to finish. They are a family business and they did an amazing job. There were multiple problems because it is an old house but all were resolved. Our master bathroom looks beautiful and all credit goes to Top Brothers, you cannot find a better construction team. We would work with them again and recommend them for any kind of project."

"JC Builders do excellent work and are wonderful to work with! I highly recommend them for any remodeling, rebuilding projects. Prices are fair and workmanship and attention to detail are top notch. And, they know all the best plumbers and electricians in the business. They are my 'go to' guys whenever I need anything done around the house."

"The whole process was easy and the results were fantastic. Great pricing. And excellent quality."

"He had a cancellation and was able to come out the day I called. He verified that we actually didn't have mold growing in the one area. Since that area was connected to an indoor hot tub room, he checked the tub room just to verify that all was ok in there. He gave me some tips on preventing mold in that tub room and informed me about some other areas to watch (as this was in the basement and we have had water get inside with heavy rain) and I asked him about some marks on my basement ceiling. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. Will definitely be calling if need for future services."

"Wonderfully. Reasonable price, timely work performed. Very good clean up. I would highly recommend Jonathan and his crew."

"They were very helpful on advising on specifications. In general, I found roofers specifying roof replacement the cheapest way possible rather than what is most cost effective long-term. Once, I got multiple contractors matching on specs, GF was clearly cost competitive, particularly given no subcontractor usage. Actual install was smooth except for two things. It took more time than they budgeted for, but they handled that well and didn't try to ask for extra payment. Second, they discovered that the backing of the house's original aluminum siding was rotten when they were installing new flashing. Understandably, they didn't want to put it back up as is (which I can appreciate). Thankfully, they were able to provide a cost effective answer regarding new siding, as I didn't want to have to big that out with everything already torn up."

"Excellent. Elliot is prompt, conscientious, and meticulous. The work he did was excellent. Plus, he’s a very nice person."

"Bob is extremely knowledgeable about his products and services and understands the customer. He is very responsive and prompt, and while he explains everything in detail he also listens carefully. He is realistic and not high pressure. Thank you Bob!"

"3700 sq. ft. Property everything went. Very professional and great service. Would definitely recommend to my friends and family."

"When I saw the Big Deal email from Angies List for this job I grabbed it, knowing I would need a new roof soon.  Consistent with the Big Deal, I got a 40% to 45% discount on the job; as a comparison, a year earlier I received a $20,700
estimate from another roofer.  Since Stendahl was rated A’s everywhere, and the roofing materials carried a GAF non-prorated 50 year warranty, it seemed to be a no-brainer.  I verified that they were a GAF certified roofing contractor.  Steve Spaeth of Stendahl quoted me the price on 6/7/13, when I signed the contract and paid the 50% down.  He told me that they would do my roof by sometime in July or August.  After a lot of phone calling and multiple delays, they got to my roof on October 11.  I’ll let them explain why it took so long.  They finished the top roof on a Friday and lower roof on Sunday (rain Saturday). 
Neither Steve or Jason Stendahl (the company owner) were there to supervise on Sunday; it appeared that Stendahl had two or three jobs going on at once.   I was watching them through my windows on Sunday, and noticed that they were not going to replace the old vent they removed from the lower roof over the laundry room and garage (3/5 of the roof covers the garage) nor install a ridge vent, and I became concerned that a vent was needed.  I called both Steve and Jason but got no answer.  I then
discussed this issue with the roofers and since they had no replacement vent I ended up driving to Menards to buy one.  Steve
later said that he intended to replace the vent but failed to tell the roofers.  The next day my wife and I concluded the flashings needed painting; nobody discussed this with me, and the flashing did not look good: white flashing and black caulking on dark shingles!  When Steve came later that day to collect final payment I mentioned that and the flashings were within a couple of days.  A week or so later I was up on the roof for the first time and found that approximately four feet of ridge shingles over
the garage were never installed.  I notified Stendahl.  Then, on November 17 we had a 2.5” rainfall, and I discovered the flashing on the garage roof had a serious leak, soaking the roof deck and chimney cinder blocks and creating a large puddle on the garage floor.  Jason came out and verified that it was a bad flashing, not the chimney, but within a week it
began snowing, ending any roof work until Spring.  In March I found out the leaky flashing was not the first job on their list, and after several phone calls they came out and fixed the leaky flashing, this time with black flashing with white
caulking!  However, when it subsequently rained, water still showed up on the chimney cinder blocks in the garage and a
spot or two on the roof deck.  Since my chimney had been leaking for years and may be the reason for the remaining leaks,
in July I had the old crown removed and a new cap installed and the chimney treated with water repellent.  I then verified
no leaking anywhere with liberal use of a garden hose and several heavy rainfalls.  Then, Stendahl came out and installed the missing ridge shingles and repainted all three flashings, BUT the shingles and flashing paint were the wrong color!  More phonecalls.  On 10/17/14 the correct shingles were installed and on 10/31/14 the flashings were painted the correct color.  The entire job took 16 months from signature of contract.  It should have taken three months max and ended no more than three days from beginning of roof tear off; had the flashing been done right the first time my leaky chimney would not have been an issue in the delay.  I always felt that my roof was low priority and neither Steve or Jason did an adequate job of supervising or inspecting the work of their contractors.  I would rate the GAF roofing materials an A but the quality of the flashing and ridge shingle installations sinks my overall job quality rating to a C.  Although I think I got a good roof for a great price, my experience overall with Stendahl was negative for all the reasons cited above, plus the emotional stress caused by having to deal with all the unnecessary errors and the constant question "will this job ever get done?"
