With over 1200sq ft it was going to be quite the task and assuming heavy price tag. Ted Benson gave us the best quote of 5 other contractors and adjusted quotes at least 5x due to changing our mind on things over and over again. He was so patient. So attentive and a true pleasure to work with. His design and finished product blew our minds. Fred and Lee....I don't know where to start. These two men are true work horses. They brought all the lumber and decking up by hand. Keep in mind no elevator and no way to use a crane. Just pure muscle and patience. Not only are they amazing carpenters they were so friendly and informative. I guarantee you won't need to find another quote. Best pricing hands down. And their work speaks for itself. I could ramble on but I don't want to have this turn into a short novel. This is the first time I have reviewed on Yelp, since having the app for 4+ years. But this definitely deserves a review and 5 star status. Thank Ted, Fred and Lee!!!

But he still wanted me to take down the review. Obviously I did not take down the review and I still don't have my receipts!!

FIVE DAYS later with no response emailed them again. Got boilerplate excuse (busy season, miscommunication, blah, blah) saying I'd have a quote by email. I followed up TWO DAYS later, and got a quote with a two page list of conditions, one of which required a 50% deposit with NO COMMITMENT for date(s) the service would be provided. Also they listed credit card as an acceptable payment method but DID NOT reveal that they assessed a 3% service charge (I had to ASK in a separate communication). Cannot comment on quality of the actual service I was requesting because I declined the quotation. If they CANNOT communicate in the quotation stage, how am I supposed to trust them by just GIVING them money in advance and no commitment for the work?

We are on the third floor of a walk up condo, and we have a private rooftop deck. We started…read moregetting leaks in the ceiling in two places in our kitchen, and called about a half a dozen places in and around the city to come out and assess. The proposals were all over the place. Some companies said it couldn't be done without ripping off the rooftop deck and repairing everything. Some companies said it wasn't the roof at all, it was condensation inside the house? Jeff at Rollin Contracting was way more honest and practical in his assessment. He pointed out where he suspected the two leaks were coming from, but said that you never really know until you rip up the roof and move the air conditioner and take a look. He told us that roof repair was tricky, that the guys who said we might have to replace the whole roof could be right. But he wouldn't start with that, he would start with the less expensive approach. Granted, there was the risk that if it didn't work, we would have wasted that money when they re-did the whole roof, but we decided to gamble on a $2000 repair rather than jump into the $12,000 repair of the whole roof. Rollin Contracting was the only one who was honest and open and gave us options. He was also the one who was most confident in where he thought the leaks were coming from. It has now been one month since they repaired both potential sources of the leak, and neither of the leaks have come back. And in case you haven't been paying attention, we've gotten absolutely drenched this May. Meaning there is no doubt in my mind that they successfully fixed the leaks. The contractors that came to do the work were great, they didn't even enter the house. I offered to let them come inside to get to the rooftop, and they said they preferred to just go up and over to keep our house clean. While taking up the wooden boards on the rooftop deck to do the roof repair, they accidentally broke one of the boards. They went to Home Depot and replaced the board that day. Not a big deal, and super quick to fix it. Also, at the last minute (after we had signed the contract), I realized that I had forgotten to ask them about the fireplace, which also occasionally drips water during bad storms. I asked Jeff if he would have his guys look at the chimney to see if they could identify the source of the potential leak and to let me know what his recommendations were to have that fixed as well. He went ahead and had his guys caulk it while they were up there without even charging us. I know that's probably not a huge expense, but it was still a nice gesture to just throw that in. So across the board it was a great experience. Would definitely work with these guys again and recommend them with confidence.

Please think twice before hiring this contractor - it will not be worth it if there are any uncertainties re: your project and they will say anything to get your job. We hired Jeff to perform some deck work for our three flat. Jeff quoted us $6K to replace certain posts and railings. One year later, additional work was clearly required because railings were loose and Jeff performed an additional $3K worth of work. At no time to Jeff represent himself as anything other than qualified to perform the work. Turns out he never even got a permit for the work. We were cited by the city for non-compliance shortly after his second round of work. He complied with fixing some of the issues identified. When he met with the inspector to review the work and confirm compliance, he essentially yelled, screamed, stormed off and refused to fix any of the additional work. We are now left with a deck that still needs work, $12K later. Jeff continues not to respond to emails/requests for him to finish his work. Jeff misrepresented his ability to do deck work according to city law and code. His unprofessionalism in resolving the issue that he created (he should have just said his people didnt do deck work maybe instead of doing a poor job and then getting upset when someone challenged him to do the work properly) was so disappointing. Do not work with this contractor.

Well, it made it 3 years but he was dead right. Call around to several 'porch' experts who when they arrived couldn't do the combination of stone, brick and steel that my porch was constructed of......then got a few that claimed that could but it would take nearly $10K to do it. I'd let the porch turn to dust and use the basement door before I paid that amount! Called Damian at Proven Crown, he came over, called his team in to make certain they could do the job. Permit was obtained quickly. Everyone was professional and courteous. I now have a safe and beautiful new set of steel stairs, with my brick work not teetering on killing my neighbors.....and all at a price much less than $10k. The workers were there on time, cleaned as they worked and did a great job. You officially have a fan and just as I will readily complain, I readily compliment. Great job.
