I am very pleased with the service and quality of work that TAR Roofing provided. They were extremely responsive from quoting through completion, their pricing is very fair, and their workmanship is very good! And, my new roof looks beautiful. Additionally, they did an excellent job cleaning up after the project was completed. I give them my highest recommendation!

TAR didn't bother doing this job correctly - Tyvek is supposed to go all the way around.

So I had several issues with the work TAR initially did for us and then came the kicker: another crew came out to replace our roof and they pulled back the siding TAR had installed one year prior to reveal that the moisture wrap didn't even go all the way around the structure. Seriously? I paid TAR to make these structures waterproof and they bailed without finishing the job. You can see in my photos how they left the edges and corners of my walls without the moisture wrap they promised. (They must have figured that I would never have the siding removed to see if they did the job correctly.) When I contacted Damian, he ultimately wrote, "I will be happy to send out a crew to make necessary repairs. I will only do this considering you delete the negative review you posted for my company and agree not to post any negative content online or elsewhere for TAR Restoration." So you'll be happy to do the job I paid you to do if I delete my review? Had you done what I paid you to do in the first place, you wouldn't have gotten a negative review. Avoid TAR as they won't do the work you paid for and they will refuse to complete the job if you raise a red flag.

This company was a pleasure to work with! Starting from scheduling someone to come and inspect the scope of work for a roof leak all the way through to the completion of work, their communication and professionalism really shined through. The scheduling was easy and straightforward over the phone. They called me the next day after I submitted a request via Yelp. Krystian came to do the inspection and was very friendly and professional. He wore a mask and shoe booties while in the house. The estimate for the work was sent to me the next business day. Then, after that was settled, the project manager Dominik kept me in the loop of when the work would be scheduled and called and emailed the day before and the day the workers arrived. The workers themselves were also very respectful of the property and wore masks when I met with them outside. All debris was cleared when they left and I received photos of the completed work the next day to complete the remaining payment. All in all it was one of the most stress-free and professional jobs I've had to deal with as a homeowner. I highly recommend them to anyone that needs roof work, either flat or shingled.

TAR restoration did an extremely well job on our condo roof. They did an assessment of the roof, the repairs needed and provided a fair market value price. They didn't BS either as they could have. We were expecting a full gut of the roof and upon inspection, they recommended that we just do simple patches and lay the outer layer with a reflecting paint. This is guaranteed to last another 15-20 years according to their estimates. Would definitely recommend them.

Semko - New casement windows replacing 100 year old windows.

We recently had 100 year old bay non-opening bay windows replaced with new wood casement windows by…read moreSemko. The team was very responsive to both my initial quote, modifications, and inquiries. No pushy sales pitch and open for questions and suggestions. The new windows are beautiful, provide a ton of airflow in the casement design, and have received a lot of compliments. Installation was speedy and they replaced some areas of concern in rotten sills. Family run business where owners take pride in their craft.

I worked with Jay and Hal on getting 10 new windows and they were amazing throughout the whole…read moreprocess. They came out to measure everything we needed, quoted us on what we wanted and a few other optional windows as well since we were debating on doing everything at once. After selecting the quote for the windows we wanted to get done, a down payment was made and the windows were ordered. They came in a few weeks later and two of their team members came out to install them in the morning. Everything was done quickly and professionally with care. After the install, I had a question about one of the windows since it looked like there was a small crack at the top corner and they sent someone out to look at it right away. It turned out it was just some glue residue that was attached on the inside of the window that made it look like a crack and was easly scraped off with a razor blade. I definitley recommend using Semko as they provided a very reliable service and also beat out many other window companies with their competitive pricing.

DO NOT USE - Unreliable Roofing Contractor - Nightmare!…read more We hired Shield Masonry & Roofing Inc. in June 2022 to repair the roof of our condo building and build a new deck on top of it. Unfortunately, our experience with them was a nightmare, and we feel compelled to share it with others to prevent anyone else from going through the same ordeal. First and foremost, the contractor used incorrect materials while building the deck. To add insult to injury, they charged us for more expensive materials than they actually used, displaying a complete lack of integrity and transparency. We mutually agreed with the contractor in advance in writing that the roof deck would be built with "Trex Transcend" composite decking in Rope Swing color; the contractor, however, built our roof deck with "Trex Enhance G2 Grooved" composite decking in Foggy Wharf color, a material of much lesser quality that is already breaking in some areas. To make matters worse, the deck construction was carried out in a way that now leaves our roof in violation of building codes. Not only did they fail to adhere to regulations, but they also neglected to inform us of these potential issues during the process, and when we let them know that their work was out of code, they did not apologize, would not fix their work to align with code, and blamed it on us when they are the experts. Furthermore, upon inspection by independent experts, it was determined that the roof deck framing is not structurally sound. We were advised that (a) there are narrow pieces of wood supporting the west side of the roof deck, which do not align with standards of practice in the industry and will pierce the roof's membrane as weight is applied, (2) the roof substructure was laid incorrectly, preventing the free flow of water to the scuppers, and (3) already, various portions of the roof deck are loose and detached from the frame, making the roof deck unsafe to walk on. This poses a substantial risk to the safety of those in our building and our guests. Throughout the project, communication was very difficult and minimal, and they showed little to no concern for our satisfaction or the quality of their work. When we raised our concerns, they were dismissive and unresponsive, leaving us feeling frustrated and deceived. We strongly advise anyone considering hiring Shield Masonry & Roofing Inc. to NOT HIRE THEM. Their unprofessionalism, lack of expertise, and disregard for customer satisfaction have left us with a costly and dangerous mess to clean up, including having to re-do all of the work. On top of that, we reached out for a refund, and they would not comply or even respond to us despite their defective, fraudulent and grossly negligent acts and omissions, and we will need to re-perform the work with a new vendor. Please learn from our unfortunate experience and look for a reputable and trustworthy contractor to handle your roofing and deck projects who is NOT Shield Masonry & Roofing Inc. Don't let yourself fall victim to the same nightmare we endured.
