I got a number of bids to have my new home's chimneys re-crowned as well as having a new cap installed on one of them. What ended up making me choose to have SHCS complete this work for me was how quickly my quote request was returned, the honesty in Bob's answers to all my questions. I contacted Bob in late December and he explained the work couldn't be done till spring but that he'd take a look at my chimneys and get me a quote, which he did immediately. When I agreed to have him do the work he scheduled me for spring and as soon as it was warm enough I got a call to schedule the work. He explained the weather looked clear for the coming Tuesday which worked well for us so I agreed. He than showed up on Friday the week before and completed the work because the weather was nicer than expected. Who can complain about quicker service?!?!? All that said, the thing that really pushed me to a 5 star review the most was the emails I got immediately following the work as well as a call confirming the work was completed. But the email really did it for me, it included my work order and before and after photos of the work. That is one of those little things that makes a huge difference to me and honestly Bob was already pretty set for 5 stars before the email. Finally no more leaky chimney that the previous owners neglected. TL;DR - fantastic service, ideal pricing and before and after photos emailed as promptly as possible.

We are incredibly happy with the process and results from our new roofs/skylights/gutters from…read moreKontz Construction! Our family dealt directly with the president, Joe Kontz. A pleasure to work with in person: Knowledgeable, friendly, no pressure, no upsell, trustworthy. Kontz Construction is a local family business with deep ties to our local community, which we prefer. This was a big job: House & detached garage, 10 new skylights, new gutters. Roof 3 stories high and a very steep pitch. Kontz broke down the prices step by step focusing on listening to our needs, which changed from the first meeting to the 2nd meeting where we locked in the job. Joe Kontz customized the job to our changing needs and focus, which was incredibly helpful. We felt 100% confident at the start of the job, and that confidence was well founded. Work crews arrived on time, polite, and incredibly hard working. The work crews communicated well with our family and Joe, and everyone felt they were on the same page as the big job commenced. Over 3 business days, two roofs, 10 new skylights, and all new gutters were executed. Importantly, the communication from Joe Kontz was ongoing... he didn't disappear during the job and was often onsite, responsive by phone or text. Importantly, the management of trash and cleanup of our property was perfect. Very large machinery (cranes) were managed effectively, with no accidents or property damage (which is easy to do with large machines on driveways, trees, fences, etc.). A huge dumpster was placed, filled, and hauled away professionally. Finally, the dedication of the roofing crew to use magnetic brooms and tools to clear our yard of metal was outstanding. Our property looks better than when the roofing job started! Anyone who has replaced a roof will understand how impressive that is! The quoted price was the price we paid. Prior damages (commonly revealed when replacing a roof) were documented with photos, and additional costs (for new plywood replacement) were explained carefully. These additional costs were minimal and worth every penny. Kontz Construction and Joe Kontz made a "once in a lifetime", critical home repair about as painless as possible. 5 stars is not enough to describe the sense of relief (and pride) we have as homeowners! We made a huge decision and it worked out wonderfully, thanks to Joe Kontz and Kontz Construction. We will always reach out to Joe as a trusted contractor for any job or service he can complete in the future.

Services provided: Removal and replacement of siding, capping, trim, gutters, gutter guards, and…read moredownspouts. Reason for 2/5 stars: Ultimately the job was completed per the contract, but I am not happy with the quality of work or Joe's attitude while resolving issues. I do not recommend Kontz Construction. Notes: Kontz Construction subcontracts with Topline Siding and a gutter company whose name I did not catch. Contracts with Kontz Construction include a requirement for a "positive comment and 5 star review upon job completion to full satisfaction." Kontz was 1 of 5 companies we received estimates from. For all the work done I was quoted $17,550 which was not the cheapest quote, but I felt it was reasonable and Joe initially inspired confidence. That quote did not include residing the gables, but Joe was willing to add those in at no additional cost later on. Time from signing the contract to work starting was quick, only a few weeks. Problems: Channel drain in driveway was not covered and ended up filled with debris. Siding company had to be told three times to do a site cleanup and still did a poor job of it. Fiber optic internet box was carelessly removed which broke the FO cable requiring repair by Verizon. Exterior light was carelessly removed and broken. Other exterior lights were not properly wired when reinstalled. My (brand new) trash cans were used to move debris into dumpster and were broken. A bush was completely destroyed and inconvenient branches on trees were deliberately snapped off instead of pruned. The house wrap had many gaps and was left covering attic and dryer vents. Pieces of siding near the gable peaks were not properly secured and fell off. Misalignment of the siding caused a gap to open. They did not choose to use undersill/utility trim to secure the top row of siding causing it to become wavy as the nails through the bottom edge did not allow thermal movement. An additional issue (that isn't exactly anyone's fault) is that while the house initially had 5" gutters and new 5" gutters were installed, they are actually a bit too narrow given the broad, low-pitch roof on the house and with the type of gutter guards installed there is a lot of water that the gutters do not catch. My impression after speaking with the gutter company is that 6" is what SHOULD have been installed, but the contract was for 5". In my opinion this is simply an oversight. Results: Joe apologized for the lack of cleanup, took $550 off the final amount to compensate for damages, sent the siding company back out to reinstall the pieces that fell off and fix the gap and (after a lot of back and forth) properly install undersill trim to secure the top row of siding. The gutter company has checked the gutters and said that replacement with wider gutters is what's needed, but at this point I'm done dealing with Joe Kontz. While Joe was initially polite, professional, cordial, and seemed like a no BS type of guy, as soon as I had complaints about the quality of work and assorted issues he started speaking to me as if I'm stupid, implied that since I don't live in a "million dollar house" I shouldn't be complaining, tried to convince me that undersill trim is not industry standard, and in general had a really unpleasant, unprofessional attitude about resolving issues. While the contract was fulfilled, the experience was overall unpleasant and given the corners that I KNOW were cut I have serious misgivings about the overall quality and longevity of the siding installation. My experience may be a one-off, Kontz Construction has many positive reviews, but I will never contract with them again and certainly do not recommend them to anyone else.
