Ron, Rich, Doug and Denise are all top notch! I interviewed 22 roofers (yes 22!) and received…read moreestimates from each. Something was always off and I did not like companies that sent over commissioned salesmen who wanted to be my best friend and then they suddenly don't know me after I sign the contract and pay a deposit. Ron Carlson himself came to the house and the moment he walked up my driveway I had a gut feeling I found my roofing company. The search was over. Ron did not start with all the sales crap and throwing titles and certifications like GAF Master Elite blah blah blah at me that virtually means nothing. He was friendly, polite but no nonsense. He knows his stuff and could back up why I don't need gutter protectors, why I don't need 6 inch gutters, why I don't need useless "gold" warranties pushed by the roofing companies etc. Quotation was presented two days later, no extra 6.8% credit card charge levied, final bill was what I was quoted. Period. The Carlson team installed a new roof, gutters, soffits, leaders, two new attic fans, ridge vent skylights etc. Their team worked diligently, clean and started each day at 7:00 am and finished at 6 pm. Rich came by to make sure all was good and so did Doug (though I did not meet him). Top notch roofers. No gimmicks, no add ons, no big lawyer written contracts to sign and no hassles. Old school - agree to the job, do it and happily pay. A handshake means something with Carlson Brothers. They took 1/3 deposit upfront and did not take the other 2/3 until the job was done and they were gone. In fact, Denise called up two days later and asked if it's ok to go ahead and charge the balance on my credit card. I can't say enough good things about them all. As to price, extremely fair and they don't upsell you on anything. Ok. Enough said. I am pleased to select them out of 22 roofers I got estimates from and yes you need to do your due diligence because you'll find a lot of people tell you to do things you don't need to do. Great job guys. Thank you also to Denise and Doug for answering all my questions through the process.

This is the second time that I have used this company, and again…read more what a great experience! I called the office and made an appointment and Mr. Carlson who showed up on time to provide us with a quote. The next day the workman arrived to perform the work. Everyone was professional and knew exactly what to do. Unfortunately there are many contractors out there that will try and do things that aren't really needed but this wasn't the case with Carlson Bros. This company and it's employees were great! Based on my experience I would definitely recommend them. Don't go looking through the Val pack coupons for a company that needs to do the advertising to get business, instead look for the good reviews of a local contractor. Thanks for everything.

The owner, Joe Luca, is an obstinate, petty, and nasty individual. Kitchen & Bath Vision did a…read moretotal remodel of 2 of our bathrooms 4 years ago. I now have a leak in one of the bathrooms, and he says he "doesn't want to get involved any longer with this repair". I had a major issue with the other bathroom a couple of years ago, and he didn't take responsibility for that either. Apparently, from the reviews here, this is Joe's usual MO with dealng with his customers, having observed a consistent or characteristic pattern in communication or behavior. STAY AWAY!

When we asked to breakdown the costs, so we could better understand how he came to this number, he refused and stated the company uses 'hours and points' to come up with their pricing. I asked again for the breakdown of the quote and he again refused unless I provided an immediate 5% retainer. Game over, we're done and will move forward with one of the many company's who were more than happy to be transparent about their pricing.

His work has survived perfectly, and his pricing was fair. If you need concrete poured or steps redone, he does it very well.

I contracted for repair of a chimney vent (for the furnace). The work was done before a rain storm and when I questioned him about it he said that the rain would not damage the work. They did the work, the rain came. The next day I went on the roof to check it out. The rain had washed away much of the "crown" and mortar patches in the brick! To his credit, he came the next business day and fixed it. But, what if I had not gone up on the roof? I'm a senior in good health, but what if I couldn't? Also, not knowing what the job entailed, I accepted the estimate. The job took less than two hours. Brain surgeons don't make as much as I paid. VERY expensive. Listen to your wife and get more than one estimate!

He took the time to address all of our questions both before and after installation. The entire roof was replaced in a single day, and the crew was efficient and respectful.
