He did an amazing Job at a very reasonable price. The whole crew, especially Corey & Billy, worked hard to identified and repair every place, inside and out, where water was getting in. They replaced old basement windows, painted and cleaned up daily. For the first time in 30 years, we have a totally dry and usable basement!

Worst experience with a contractor/roofer. Three roof areas were done…read more Roofer tarped my landscape and smashed all of my plants. Roofer didn't magnet rake my yard. I went around with my own magnet see pictures. Cigarette butts everywhere. Initially, the flashing that touches my neighbors' house was white while my theirs were black. I assumed since they asked about the tile color being the same that they would do the same about the flashing. They did not. Also, they thought having a channel diverting water from my roof on to my neighbors rooves on the bottom of the flashing would be a good idea. The worst thing is the roofer screwed my skylight shut with flashing and screws. It took five tries for the supervisor to fix the flashing and the skylight problems. The skylight needed to be properly flashed and aligned so that it would close properly. Adding flashing around the skylight it wouldn't close properly. Took two visits to get it aligned right to close all the way. I was concerned the skylight was going to leak. The supervisor Tom assured me it wouldn't leak after the repairs from the first roofer. He also offered to replace the skylight if it was leaking no charge for labor. I appreciate the offer after all that has happened. I would have rather not had the aggravation though. One star off for the work the first roofer did. One star off for having to complain about the work for 5 times after. I like the front porch for the most part. The flat roof seems to be in good shape. Thank you. EDIT A COUPLE WEEKS LATER- So I found water and brown stains on my basement floor. Something was leaking. First thing I look at was under the sink. I find that one of the rubber couplings that hold the vinyl pipe to the vent going to the roof had slipped off and it was jammed back over the rubber piece not seated correctly as to cause the leak going to my basement. The only people who were close to that pipe were the roofers. The supervisor said he "doesn't see how we could have done that." If you pull hard enough on the vent from the top, things will happen. We've already established that the roofer was an idiot for screwing my skylight shut and leaving without cleaning up and the flashing. It's safe to say that this roofer popped the vent off the rubber and pushed it back in thinking nothing of it. I was sweating my ass off getting the rubber piece back in place properly. and now I have to redo the wall paint and trim in my basement. It's worth mentioning that Wertz was way cheaper than the other contractors I got quotes from, but is it really worth the aggravation? One star off for the water damage in my basement. EDIT: 12/06/2023 Installers for my bathroom remodel explained to me that the roofers (Wertz and Co.) Didn't install the exhaust vent properly. There is nothing to attach the flexible vent to on the roof. There was supposed to be some kind of extension into the house from that vent installed on the roof. I would give zero stars if I could. There is no way I trust them to even do any repairs for the warranty. I'm just waiting for this shit to leak. Now there's a brand new girl answering the phone from just a few months ago. I'm wondering if it's chaos over there.

We got taken. Should have tried for a couple estimates, but we wanted our gas fireplace to burn…read morebrighter, higher, & better. Asked for a tune up. Was told the glass seal was busted, needed new glass, & before we knew it we're waiting for 4 weeks and paying $800 dollars and still not so great fire. Wertz said the fireplace was a cheap builder grade and if we wanted better we'd have to spend $5K for a new fireplace. I was like no thank you and I adjusted my expectations - maybe the fire wasn't that bad after all. It's OK, the fire comes on with the flick of a switch and after about 45min it does look a little better. At least we have new glass. But Dad said never settle. Trust Dad. Also, trust Mike of CCI Fireplace LTD and don't call WERTZ & Co. Because though we got new glass I think we got taken for an expensive ride by the Wertz guys. Womp womp. The picture is what it looked like after the new glass and not much fire -- the AFTER was after spending only $165 more with CCI Fireplace LTD. He said it was all messed up. That it was an easy fix and the gas logs were covering up important gas vents & holes and it was messy inside. I'm guessing this is something Wertz (or anyone experienced) should have seen right away. More about that on his review! TLDR: Wertz isn't the worst but they're certainly not the best. And they're expensive and I think a little incompetent. Get estimates & call Mike at CCI. Trust Dad. Never settle.

When they brought us an estimate, we were a little shocked by the high price, but after some negotiations and elimination of some less necessary features, we got it down into our budget. The good news: their work was very professional. They displayed great knowledge of stone masonry and landscaping, and we (and several of our neighbors) are delighted with the final product. They kept the work area clean and regularly informed us about the progress of the various parts of the job. If they were more affordable, I might give them five stars. While I suppose you get what you pay for, just be ready to make a serious financial commitment if you have them do a job for you.

Bill Smith Concrete is awesome. From the estimate until completion of the job Bill Smith was kind,…read moreprofessional, prompt, knowledgeable, and a great value. My husband put in a patio and sidewalk along our house using pavers as his first retirement project. It was great at first but soon became a safety hazard. Bill replaced both with stamped and/or textured cement work. Our yard slants and there was a rotted tree stump under my husband's work. He ground out what was left of the stump and dug out more dirt than his estimate stated to make our new patio flatter and make 1 step possible instead of the 2 steps originally expected. By doing this we also no longer needed window guards for our basement windows. Our estimate also included a garbage can pad on one side of the sidewalk. When he went to do the work, he realized there would be a small area of grass between the two and offered to make it all one area at no additional cost. At the beginning of the job I asked him if he could give me an estimate for a cracked walkway out front and an estimate if we did the rock area alongside the walkway. I made it clear I understood that he would more than likely have to come back for that job as he was already backed up due to Mother Nature. He explained it was actually more time and cost effective to do the work at the same time. He pointed out that if we did the whole area it would save on maintenance as weeds are a problem with the rocks. We use pots for flowers anyway, so the no weed idea was a gift. We were having our back patio stamped, so when he gave me a price for the entire front area he asked if I wanted it stamped. I said yes if it wasn't too costly or a problem for him. He gave me a fair price for stamping the entire front and I was happy. The next day he explained he would like to texturize the sidewalk to tie the front and back together but there would be no added cost. I was thrilled. As we are novices when it comes to concrete his suggestions as a professional were much appreciated. He asked if we wanted the stamping straight or on an angle. Again, we were clueless, but Bill explained an angle usually looked nicer and made the work pop. He included us in every decision regardless of our lack of knowledge. Bill Smith is a detail guy. You may not think of it, but he will. He will suggest and explain. He was as concerned about a quality job, that made us happy, just about as much as we were. He was a true pleasure to work with.

There were a few issues with the floor but the worst one was he provided a receipt that he had replaced the chimney cap (see below) and about 5 weeks after settlement it rained and I had water pouring in from where the chimney goes into the basement in the house . I had contractors at the house replacing the flooring and they were able to take a look and they went on the roof and said there was no chimney cap at all so the water was just pouring in on the floor. I called and spoke to Frank and he said that was not what the agent had told him to do but he had provided a receipt that he had done it. Luckily the contractors I had on site were more honest and thorough and put a cap on for me and repatched but it cost me an additional $650 for them to clean it out fix what had been done. $650 which I wasn't expecting since it had "already been taken care of".
