Im not from the area so off I went to get prices. I went through a few contractors that I was not at all comfortable with,and I shutdown with in a matter of minutes. J Lorton was next on my list, I called and quickly realized I was talking to a Pro, I felt comfortable and felt this job can and will work out ---we were on the same page. Trust me when I say Ive seen and heard it all and when I feel honesty I know it. If your in need of a 1st Class Builder give J Lorton a call, the worst thing that can happen is you will see how a good builder handles things.

Proven Contracting LLC based out of Toms River was the perfect choice!…read moreI interviewed 4 roofers, and Corey, the owner, from Proven Contracting was by far the most professional, knowledgeable, and had the best price! I loved that Proven is GAF Master Elite qualified, and in addition is one of just a few roofers in the Master Elite Presidents Club! But the real proof was the quality and excellence of service that was provided during the roof install. The crew showed up on time, tarped the entire work area to catch the torn off roof and nails, and there was a project manager on site the entire time! He kept in touch by text letting me know where in the process they were, and even texted me photos of the progress! Afterwards, he walked me around the entire home showing me the details of what was done. The property was left in pristine condition, not a scrap or nail in sight! I highly recommend Proven for price, professionalism, and most importantly, QUALITY!!

Can't believe they have all good ratings as that is the reason that I choose to have work done by…read morethis contractor. WHAT A NIGHTMARE!! Not sure what parking lot they get their employees from but they did more damage than the simple job that I hired them to do. I should have posted this back in 2024 (it is currently 2026) when this issue occurred to help you Yelpers but didn't want to impact a legal recourse. The job I hired them to do was to take out a roof ridge vent and replace with regular roofing ridge shingles and install an attic fan, that was all. Did not need 7 employees hanging out on my roof. I had to yell up to them that taking the chimney apart was not included in this work so they bent the aluminum capping back half ass. They did not even replace the ridge vent shingles correctly or enough therefore left exposed nail holes from removing the ridge vent shingles. The photo (see my photos) of this job shows the light of the sky that you can see through one of the holes from the INSIDE of my attic. When complaint was presented to the owner I was told that the holes are too small to let rainwater in!! They also cut the ridge vent shingles right on my existing roof without a cutting board therefore slicing up the existing roofing shingles. The attic fan was the wrong one installed which was a cheaper version. Wouldn't you check the item to insure it was the correct model BEFORE installation?!? Proven contractors also conveniently gave me an additional estimate for $$$$ thousands more to fix the damage that THEY caused. Also owner of this company is very curt and dismissive when approached with the complaint. This company was a never-ending NIGHTMARE so if you hire them you better have knowledge and be the supervisor yourself.

We desperately were searching for contractors online that evening when we came across JSP (Joe Porcaro) in Bayville. We called him around 7:30 PM, after what was probable a long day for him, and asked him to come over and assess the job. He did, and pointed out what what was wrong. We hired him to fix the problems and complete the job. Even though he was busy with other projects, he made time for us in between, which we agreed to. He is skilled in all trades, and has a strong work ethic. We are really happy with the final results, and would use him again without hesitation.
