Sorry for the late post. This work was done in 2024…read more Had a leak coming into the basement around the chimney area. Called Reese & Sons because of their high rating and positive reviews. Lucas answered while on an existing job. He was very honest saying he can't drop by to make an assessment. Knowing the importance of the situation, he said he'll have his father drop by to take a look. The father (was it Joe?) came by as promised and saw that the previous roofer didn't put flashing around a portion of the chimney. He gave a couple of possible fixes and I picked the more expensive one. He gave me a break on price if i went with the more expensive fix which i appreciated. Before showing up for the work due to budgeting issues i changed to the lower price solution. He didn't have any problems with this change. He and his other son (not Lucas) came on the day as promised. The funny thing was I didn't know they were there until i heard banging outside! They ripped some of the old roof tiles, installed new flashing and overlay them with some leftover tiles I had laying around. They also caulked around other parts of the chimney. They cleaned up their mess. There were aome storms afterwards and no leak! Thx to Lucas for knowing the importance of the problem and having your father and brother fit me into their schedule. And thx to father and son (was it Joe and Ezekiel?!) for fixing the leak! I would definitely consider them to put in a new roof when the time comes!

They responded immediately and super helpfully. Even after we realized that I'm far too afield in Philly from where they serve in NJ, they were really kind and generous with their time and guidance. What nice folk. My loss for not living close to their service area!

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.

The owner came over 2 hours later, climbed on the roof and took the measurements all while it was raining. We agreed on a great price and 3 days later when we had the only sunny day he replaced the whole roof. Great job and the work quality is excellent. He even went above and beyond by replacing 10 sheets of rotten plywood, installing new flashing on a leaking window, added flashing to my chimney and even placed new chimney caps for me.
