The screened-in covered porch attached to the back of my house had shown signs of leaking for awhile. This February, however, there were several storms that brought with them high winds and heavy rain. My porch's small leaks became greater in number and magnitude.
Jim, from W.J.C. Construction Services, came over that same day and assessed the
damage to the porch roof. He gave me quotes to either 1. just repair and replace the leaking shingles, or 2. replace the entire porch roof. He explained the first choice would stop the leaks where they were visible, but that it might not correct the cause of the leaking. Choice #2 was to replace the entire roof.
I considered both options and chose to have him replace the entire roof. I am very glad I did. As he worked taking the old shingles off, he saw that the original roofing on the porch was not up to code. Had I chosen to have him just reshingle the original leaking ares, I would still be left with a roof that would leak again.
Jim and his helper worked for several days to remove the old shingles and replace them with the proper shingles that met the building code. They put a tarp on the roof after each day just in case we had rainy weather.
Replacing the porch roof took several days. Jim and his helper arrived promptly each day at 9 AMand worked tirelessly all day for several days. When they were done, they cleaned up the piles of old shingles and arranged for them to be removed.
I would highly recommend Jim and W.J.C. Construction Services should you have an issue with your home. He is honest and reliable. He will explain in detail what may be needed to fix what you need repaired or replaced. He will provide you with an estimate of costs before the work has begun. I think, like me, you will be happy you made the choice to go with W.J.C. Construction Services for your home repair needs. read more
