I'm writing this review in response to work I had done several years ago. This was, by far, the…read moreworst experience I've ever had with a contractor. I had a sunroom redone -- new floor, new support posts, ceiling, lighting, etc. During the entire process, Bob was extremely unpleasant, to put it mildly. That would be fine, if the work was done well. It most certainly was not. The floor was a complete disaster. A wide plank floor with gaps up to 1/8" in between planks. A sanding and stain job that looked like it was done by someone who's never installed a floor before. Sanding circles all over the floor and bubbles in the poly virtually everywhere. The ceiling planks weren't installed properly and separated and cracked just days after install. The drywall repair was done horribly, the mud wasn't sanded properly and they painted over everything before it dried. To top it all off, they initially put in the wrong supports under the sunroom, only to replace them with the "proper" ones that they decided to cut too short, causing the entire room to separate from the house by about 1/4". For you own sake, if you're reading this review please stay away from these clowns.

Exception - the tile guy was great. I had two projects: bathroom renovation and roof/sunroom repairs. He quoted 3-4 weeks. After 7 weeks, the bathroom was still unfinished and much of the work was poor enough that it had to be redone by other professionals. He never started the second project before going onto other jobs (which I'm now grateful for). Drywall and finish work were unacceptable. The walls and ceiling were poorly mudded and taped, with visible seams, blobs, and defects -- especially on the ceiling. I raised concerns early, but he continued painting (badly) over unfinished surfaces instead of correcting them. After five weeks, he left for another job and told me to mark defects with painter's tape for his part-time employee to fix. That employee told me he does not do drywall work. Although Ryan repeatedly promised to bring in a professional, he showed up alone in week seven with excuses and no solution. A drywall professional later confirmed extensive errors and provided a $3,250 estimate to fix the work. Ryan rejected the cost, and it took me contacting five companies to find someone willing to correct it for less. During this time, I was without use of my bathroom while he repeatedly pressured me for final payment before corrections were complete. Poor attention to detail throughout: Trim was unpainted, uncaulked, nail holes weren't filled, doors were poorly painted, walls and wainscoting had paint drips all over. The vanity, mirror, and light were not centered. Trim doesn't meet the cabinets properly. One drawer can't fully open. The toilet doesn't sit flush. The shower door has a crooked fixture. A cat door was installed by cutting into trim (instead of above it), mounted crooked, and the trim was never nailed back into the wall. The floor transition piece was never installed. Electrical and plumbing issues: I was charged $400 to relocate the sink drain, which wasn't aligned below the sink. I was charged $800 for electrical work to remove a wire from the panel, move a light, and install a ceiling fan. Yet when I asked for a simple light switch change, he said, "I'm not an electrician." The ceiling fan does not function properly, and I was told to read the manual (which he threw out). Floors are perfectly straight. The closet is totally crooked and it's very obvious. Ceiling tiles below the bathroom became waterlogged twice. Ryan initially denied a leak. It was later discovered that a pipe had been left completely disconnected, causing ongoing leakage. I am now fixing the damage myself. Disregard for my home and pets: Gates, doors, and sliders were repeatedly left open, resulting in my dog escaping and me having to search the neighborhood. No drop cloths were used during painting; it was all over my bedroom floor. Sanding was done with no dust control and the door wide open, coating my bedroom in drywall dust and triggering allergies. He took the box fan we use for sleep noise (without permission) to use in the bathroom, caking the inside with drywall dust. The basement bathroom was repeatedly left trashed after plumbing access. He also left my water turned off there for over a week after leaving for surgery (which I was told about the day before). Pressure for early payments: The original contract and subsequent change order both required 50% down and 50% upon completion. I paid 50% for each initially. Despite this, I was soon asked to pay the remaining balance on the change order prior to work completion. He also demanded half of the final payment prior to completion, claiming only a few days of work remained, though the project was still unfinished weeks later. He continued to pressure me for final payment while significant defects were still being addressed. Bottom line: Cut corners, risk to my pets, poor workmanship, missed deadlines, constant pressure for payment, and a lack of accountability. After he shared a story about resolving a dispute with a prior client by entering her property to remove materials, I felt compelled to change my garage PIN and add camera monitoring for my own peace of mind. I would not recommend this contractor.

He even went back to the store because some spindles were a little warped (and *maybe* could have passed, but, he did not want to just leave his work looking like that).

About three years ago we discovered we had a leak somewhere in our roof. The roof was about 20…read moreyears old and installed by the original home builder. I called around looking for an emergency repair and all the roofing outfits I spoke to either weren't interested in a small patch job, didn't want to do a repair without a commitment to an entire new roof, or couldn't come out in any less than a couple weeks. Except for Cahill Roofing. Mark himself called me back and came out immediately - on a Sunday. He crawled around my unfinished attic and found a spot where the plywood sheathing had warped - the source of the leak. I asked him how soon he could send someone back out to do the repair. He said he had what he needed in his truck and would make the repair on the spot. He braced the warped plywood and replaced some shingles. Mark really saved the day, and at a reasonable price. After some research I realized we had exceeded the expected 20-year lifespan of the roof and decided to replace it. We didn't want to push our luck as the roof was old and had already failed once. I called around for estimates. Based upon a competitive bid and our prior excellent experience with the repair we selected Cahill Roofing. We picked out the shingles, nailed down timing and were ready to go. The day before the job we decided the shingles we selected were too light and wanted a darker shade. I called to see how hard it would be to change at the last minute. No problem and no restocking fee or upcharge. Mark arrived the day before his crew to do some prep work and shingled some of the tougher spots around dormers and an atrium window. His crew of perhaps 10 men and women arrived the next day and were like ants crawling all over the house. The old roof came off and the new one went on in a single day. The roof looks fantastic! I have never found a nail, piece of shingle, or any debris around the house which is a major safety concern with kids and pets. My new roof was installed on time, on budget, and without any complications. Mark and his crew were professional throughout the process. I recommend Cahill Roofing to my friends and neighbors without reservation.

Roofs tend to look great at installation. The big questions are how long will the roof hold up? How…read morewill the company respond if there is an issue? This review describes our experiences with Cahill roofing. Our interactions have not measured up to his motto of with "honesty, integrity, and top-quality craftsmanship." Our interactions had three strikes - he was defensive before looking at the work, he denied there was an issue when he inspected it, and he had no interest in discussing what an independent analysis of his work showed. Nineteen years ago, Mark Cahill replaced and installed the entire roof of our house including rafters, plywood, shingles, vents, etc... The roof had a couple of significant leaks since installation. Mark Cahill was relatively cooperative during the first leak at around the ten-year mark. He did the repair for an additional charge. During the most recent known leak, which independent professionals have stated has likely been going on for a long period of time, his approach changed drastically. We lost electricity on one-side of our house and after three visits from our electrician a leak in the attic was discovered. Our electrician concluded that this was the likely cause for our power outage and told us that we should get in touch with a roofer. We contacted Cahill immediately. During the initial call, before even coming to the house, he blamed the water in our attic on everything from a humidifier that only runs for a few hours over night in the winter, to the bathroom vent, as well as the roof angles. When he did come to the house to inspect the issue from the inside, he decided there wasn't enough air flow coming through the attic vents (which he could've set up properly when he rebuilt the roof initially) and stated that our granite chimney is impossible to make water tight. He seemed particularly fixated upon our granite chimney being a challenge and was unwilling to commit to the possibility that there was an actual leak in the roof. (If he is so intimidated by granite chimneys then why did he accept work he is unable to perform correctly?) He came back a second time to investigate the roof itself and concluded that the issue was chimney pointing. It was pretty obvious to my wife and I that there was a leak and you can't fix what is not acknowledged. We decided an independent opinion was the best path forward to evaluate our roof. We asked Nick at NJP Contracting to evaluate our roof with a roofer he trusts, Quinn at Eco Pro Roofing. Nick has helped us for years with multiple properties and his work consistently holds up really well. They found significant issues with the setup of the "cricket box", which connects the roof to the chimney. The cricket box had two primary issues - the angles were too shallow and the flashing was incorrectly setup. Specifically, the flashing had two main issues: it went under the shingles as opposed to on top of the shingles and there was no channel put into the granite for a uniform interface between the roof and chimney. Not surprisingly, these two issues led to water getting under the shingles destroying the ply underneath. I called Cahill to discuss what the independent review found and to get his thoughts. I was hoping to negotiate a fix. Instead, he told us he had plenty of work and was not interested in repairing the work - we should go through someone else to repair his poor craftsmanship. Eco Pro roofing ended up repairing the damage and after two days of heavy rain it was apparent water wasn't getting into the house anymore. They replaced a significant amount of plywood, properly angled the cricket box, and installed the flashing in a way that could handle the amounts of water needed.

He did not rush us into a final decision and we really appreciated that. Since we had seen pictures and videos of the flooring being done in other garages, and because the tech was so great, we decided to go ahead with it. He told us they were booking 8 weeks out and that someone would call us to schedule an appointment. We gave him a hefty deposit. Weeks passed and we did not hear from anyone to schedule, so we called. We did not feel it was good business practice to take our deposit and not call within a few days to schedule. We made our appointment. The day came when our garage floor was to be done. We had moved everything from our garage into our living room the night before. The installers came and tested the floor for moisture and said they could not install and would try again the following day. This was very frustrating because no one told us that moisture could delay the installation and we had a living room full of items from our garage. They came back several times before they were finally able to install, and every time was last minute, no appointment made. Good thing my wife works from home. How do they expect people to be available at a moments notice? During the weeks we waited, we went back and forth about whether to cancel and decided the whole ordeal was so annoying and decided to cancel. I emailed the company to tell them this. The owner called me and refused to give us our deposit back, claiming materials had already been purchased and it's in the contract that deposits are non-refundable. I argued that he was the owner and could refund our deposit if he wanted to and that the color we picked was very common so I believe they could have used it on someone else. I also argued that no one explained about the moisture and this should be made very clear to anyone considering having this process done. He wouldn't budge. We had to either lose the 1k+ deposit and not get the floor done or deal with this frustrating booking experience and shell out another 2k to have it done. We decided to go ahead. Finally the garage was complete. A few days later we got a call from someone to arrange for a payment to be made. I explained to her that the job wasn't even done yet! (We had also scheduled our front steps to be done but of course they were too wet!) She had no idea the job wasn't complete and told us she would call back when it was. Finally the day came to do the steps (again after several attempts at checking moisture levels). A couple weeks passed and I got a voicemail, "I have been trying to call you to arrange a payment." She didn't say her name, or what company she was calling from! And she hadn't called/left a measage before that. So rude and unprofessional. We made the payment and are done with this company. If you want a very frustrating experience and want to deal with rude, unprofessional people, this is for you. Otherwise, run the other way! The floor is nice but every time I look at it I'm reminded of the jerks we had to deal with to get it installed.
