Colony Construction & Home Improvements Inc

I can't say enough good about these guys. They were recommended by Dale at Doors and More. They gave me a fair price and did a great job! They reroofed my house, garage and two gazebos. They showed up on time, fixed my leaking roof and left me with a brand new shingled roof. They were also very professional in the installation and left the jobsite spotless. I would recommend them to anyone.

Such an awesome company to work with. Knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. Had been debating what to do for some updates to a detached garage. One visit with Herb and some discussion on what we were looking for and we were set. The before and after is awesome. Like a brand new building.

Herb and his team took care of my project from start to finish. They came back and adjusted some flashing they noticed wasn't right on their inspection that I didn't notice. Solid company that was good to work with.

It's taken me 1 year since my exterior remodeling to write this review. I had the my old, yellow, drab siding stripped off, along with the stained brown roof, and replace by Colony Constrution and Colony Roofing. In additon, I had the entire house wrapped in low-E insulation, had all the trimmed wrapped in metal, new french doors on two sides of the house, and got new porch rails. I had a new back deck built, and a stamped concrete patio. In the year it's taken me to write this review, I have not had a single call-back. Nothing has needed to be fixed. Herb's crew did an amazing job. The roof was done a day ahead of schedule. The crews usually showed up early. The even did some work that I had not expected that needed to be done once some old trim had been removed, and did so for a very reasonable price. I am completely satisified with Colony and highly recommend them. I've posted a before-photo, and some afters.

The roof on my house was approximately 25 years old. We used Colony Roofing to remove and install a new architectural roof manufactured by Owens Corning.
Herb provided samples of the shingles and my wife and I picked a color suggested by Herb. We love the new roof! The color fits beautifully with our red brick rancher.
Herb and his team came on the appointed date and time. Herb stayed on site during most of the day through removal and installation of the new roof. The team worked steadily throughout the day. At the end of the day, the workers removed all of the debris and I have yet to find a nail so it is obvious to me they did a really good job of removing the nails from my yard. My wife and I are very proud of our new roof and we eagerly recommend Herb and Colony Roofing to all of the people we come into contact with. Herb, Thank You and the team for completing our roof! It’s beautiful.

My husband coordinated time to get off of work to meet an estimator at our house. The estimator did show up on the day and time that the estimate was scheduled and was very pleasant. However, we never received a quote for the work that we wanted completed. I called the office to follow-up and was told I would receive a call the next day, but never received a call. We were very ready to spend the money we had saved up for the improvements but ended up going with another company. It's disappointing because the pictures I've seen of Colony's work looks very well done. It's also frustrating as a customer to take time out of work to meet someone at your house and it end up being a waste of time. At the least a courtesy call saying, "we're working on your estimate, it's just taking more time than expected," would be nice. I'm giving my review 2 stars and not 1 since the estimator was nice and actually showed up at the scheduled time.

Colony completed a new roof on our garage. Professional team with a lot of knowledge. Very happy with the work.

Colony Roofing did an excellent job installing my new roof and replacing the rotten wood beneath. It looks like a new house. Great job!!

We had a very outstanding experience with Colony Roofing. We needed an entire porch roof replaced…which they did with professionalism and under the guidance of Carlos. Carlos was very informative of every step being taken during the repair. He answered tons of questions for me…and never rushed answering them. Also showed me photos of the progression. We are happy with the outcome and have no problem referring Colony and using them in the future. Thank you.

This review is long overdue. I contact multi contractors about building a garage. Herb was great with helping me figure out what would work best for my property and getting the garage approved thru the city of hampton. I had a few changes that were made before and during the build process. Herb and his crew were great at accommodating all these changes. I not always the easiest person to deal with because I can be picky about things The new garage more than meet my expectations. Colony is by far the best contractor I dealt with and would use them in the future. Recommend them to anyone looking to have a structure built.

Great job installing the roof on our new shop. The rains came almost as though it was a scheduled test and all was perfect. Colony's team selected a the perfect color to match our existing roof. Great to know exactly where to call for any future roofing needs. Highly recommend!!!!

We had a leak in our roof and quickly scavenged google for a company to assist. Colony Roofing was the first we reached out to. They are very responsive, quick to get out, and scheduled the repairs in good time. Pricing was very fair. Will be happy to use them again for any exterior work.

Carlos was great! He came out for an inspection the day after I called. We had a windstorm the day before Christmas that tore a shingle and my Husband and I were concerned about some other areas of the roof. Carlos was on time, professional and clear with what he saw and the options we had to fix in the future. There was no pressure to perform unnecessary repairs. The entire inspection was easy and transparent. When we do get to the point of needing a roof replacement, we will be calling Colony Roofing.

Carlos was extremely helpful! We had about 8’-10’ of shingles that tore and blew off our ridge cap, which allowed rain to leak into our ceiling. I took pictures from the ground of the damage and roof color, and Carlos came two days later, on a Sunday morning, and did the repair. Cost was exactly what he quoted me, repair was done fast and neat, and he cleaned up the damaged shingles from various parts of the roof where they had landed. He also identified a hole on another part of the roof where another ridge shingle had blown off, we didn’t even notice that one. Fixed on the spot, no extra $$. Carlos is a great guy and a class act. We’ll use Colony again for sure!

Carlos L. came out to perform an assessment due to a water issue we are having in our house. He was on time, cheerful, and efficient. He did a thorough check on our roof and determined that the flashing, roof nor exhaust outlets were the source of our water problems. As a military family it is hard to always know who you can trust to give you a straight answer and I know Carlos is that kind of guy! Thank you for your time!

They came out and gave me a quote right away. Then started the job on time and finished sooner than expected. I will definitely be using them in the future.

Great team of people working here. Thanks for such professional coordination and installation. I am very happy with the results of the roof and gutters installed.

Screen Installation on a 3rd-floor balcony/porch
Herb and his team did a good job figuring out a reasonably-priced solution to installing a screen (approx. 9' x 9') on our 3rd-floor balcony/porch outside our existing railing. It was challenging but they completed the job to our satisfaction despite some hitches in the giddyup--so some of the guys returned to finish up a few details as soon as we apprised Herb and Amonte of them. Things are still difficult in the construction industry (and many others) due to supply chain issues and COVID. Herb and company did their best to keep us posted under the circumstances. I judge a business not only by their products and services but also by how they respond to issues. Colony Construction was very responsive throughout the entire process and gave us good value for our money.

Had an employee come to my home and look at a job. He stated he would be on vacation for a week and to call him then. I left 4 messages and asked that he call me. Finally after the 5th call I was told he no longer worked for the company and that they are quite busy but someone would reach out to me the same day.Yet again, I have never been contacted . I would think it would be a matter of common curtesy to call a customer if this was something they were to busy to help me with. It has now been over a month and not a word from them . I can understand having a full schedule but let the person know. I could have had someone else here to look at the job and not waited for a call that was never even returned. Poor customer service

I had a branch fall on my roof and put a hole in my roof. I called Colony and they were able to come out and take a look and give me a fair repair price. They were professional, courteous and quick. I was unable to use them because of my own finances. But will defiantly consider using them in the future.

We were looking at having a patio roof installed and looked at various companies and options/styles. We decided on the Renaissance Patio manufactured product for its quality and price over other standard style patio roofs. We have been extremely pleased with the quality, look, and how it has transformed our backyard living space. Several of our neighbors and friends comment on how beautiful it is and how it has extended our living area. Despite disruptions in the supply chain because of Covid-19, Colony Construction management kept us informed of the status of the project. The installation crew were professional and courteous. I would highly recommend them if you are looking into getting a patio roof.

I purchased a house which this company replaced the roof on two years ago. Their warranties do not transfer and they did a poor job sealing the flashing to my roof. Now part of my kitchen ceiling is torn out from water damage. The owner told me that he does not warranty the caulk used to seal the flashing since someone else made it. How about you stand by your work? My roof is only two years old. As far as getting your roof replaced, do not use these folks.

I had previously hired a "professional" by the name of James Simpson of Encore Construction. He was hired to remodel my shower and it was a complete disaster. Not only did he leave the job unfinished but also did incorrect and poor quality work. I used Colony Construction to destroy it all and make it the way I wanted. They found numerous code violations from the previous contractor and documented everything for me. They were very professional and did an outstanding job. The tile work was difficult but came out great. I would certainly recommend them for remodeling work.

I contacted this company for an estimate to fix the exterior trim. They came out and spent less than 5 minutes at my residence which included taking pictures. After several requests and three days later I received a call from the estimator. He stated that it would be $9,000.00 to fix the exterior trim and replace the roof. I never asked for a new roof. The roof was replaced 4 years ago due to a fire. I attempted to explain this to him but he was extremely rude and nasty. This company declined the job because I don't want my entire roof replaced.They stated that they can not complete the job without replacing the entire roof. I should not have to pay for an entire roof to have the exterior trim on my home replaced.

We just had another great experience with Colony! After having our roof replaced and leaf guard gutters installed, we had Colony put in new sliding glass doors and create a shiplap accent wall in our family room that turned out beautiful. The entire team is great to work with and they ensured that we were satisfied throughout the process. We already have plans for our next project.

I recently called Colony Construction & Home Improvements about doing some work on my home. I had 4 separate jobs that I needed done. The owner of the company, Herb Paynter, came out and observed what I needed and the next day, I received a detailed estimate of the work and the costs to do the work. I was very pleased with the costs and I called the company and accepted the estimate. The job was scheduled for the next week. That Monday morning, promptly at 8:00 a.m., two Colony Trucks arrived and the men started the jobs. I could not have been more satisfied. The work involved wrapping the wood on the exterior of my home, installing a toilet in one of my bathrooms, installing an exhaust fan in another bathroom, and installing and painting hand rails to my front porch. They completed the work timely and when they were through, they cleaned everything up, as if they hadn't even been there at all. My brother visited me that weekend and he said the first thing he noticed when he pulled up in the driveway was the wrap job they did to the exterior of the home - he thought it was beautiful! I am so happy to have found Colony Construction & Home Improvements. I have an older home, so I know there will be other jobs that I will need to address, but now I know I can call Colony Construction & Home Improvements and they will take care of me promptly and honestly. If you need any work done to your home, you won't regret calling Colony!!

We are so happy to have found a one stop shop for our home construction needs. Herb and his crews are spectacular! Our new roof and dormers have completely changed the look of our Cape Cod style home.

We went with a black sable roof tile and our roof looks absolutely phenomenal. This company offers excellent customer service, professional crews and peace of mind. This is an honest company to work with. Shout out to Carlos and Jeremy. Both of you were great, kind and patient explaining the processes to me. Thank you. :)

See you soon Colony Construction! We have several projects lined up with them, and thank you so much. Stay safe and healthy everyone.

UPDATE: Colony Construction is 2 for 2! Following our roof replacement by Colony Construction, we had a garage built and we love it! Once again, I was walked through the process and was updated and kept abreast all through the process from beginning to the end. Herb, Jeremy, Carlos and Daryl, THANK YOU! See you soon for our next project. Stay safe everyone!

Donnie and his crew were very professional and did excellent work. Jeremy answered all my questions and led the build of our 2nd floor perfectly! Will definitely be calling them back for other projects. Thanks guys love my new space!

Colony construction has completed 3 jobs for us in the last 3 months and we could not be happier with their personalism, professionalism, and attention to detail. Between the sales representatives and project managers on the construction and roofing sides to the actual teams that came onsite to do our jobs, we couldn’t have been more impressed. The teams that came out to do the jobs were courteous, respectful, and on time. In addition to that, they were tidy and cleaned up any mess before leaving our property.

The work completed includes the replacement of 2 roofs, replacement of a gable vent, the lowering of gutters and replacement of gutter guards, custom pedestal build for our washer and dryer, gutting and replacing all insulation and drywall in our garage and laundry room.

We are currently in the works of setting up a 4th job.

Great company top to bottom. New detached garage, new pool deck, new front and back doors, wrapped the wood trim on the entire house, new gutters and new vinyl shutters. Herb made the contract process quick and easy and was very professional. Jeremy couldn't have been easier to work with. He was on top of every task thrown at him and very punctual with all dates given. Answered every question I had very promptly. All workers on site were thorough and professional. I give the company an A+, and am completely satisfied with all work completed.

From the top down, they are are first class company and get our repeated business. Highly recommended. Very pleasant company to work with. You certainly do not get that feeling of being oversold on a project.

I have had my roof replaced by these guys. I've had my siding replaced, new windows and had the soffit wrapped. Good bunch of guys. Yep, I would recommend them.

Colony Construction is the only team I would call to do work on my house. Herb, Jeremy, and the entire team are the absolute best to work with. They are kind, supportive, respectful, and do fantastic work.

I had a leak under the slab and standing water in my first floor. Colony responded quickly and immediately began doing mitigate work and planning for repairs. My entire first floor was torn a part and Colony had all repairs completed quickly and efficiently- including dry wall repairs, new laminate flooring, new carpet, and new paint. My house looks brand new!

Not only do they do great work, but they have the best team! Jeremy was in constant communication through the whole process to make sure I understood what to expect and next steps. Herb made negotiating and working with my homeowners insurance a breeze. Chris, Timmy, and Mike did amazing work and were a pleasure to work with. I always felt like Colony had my best interest in mind and was fighting for me. The entire Colony team made a stressful situation easier. Thanks guys!

We had contracted out a privacy fence to be installed by this company,,,their estimate was mid range BUT they were available sooner than the others. They will begin tomorrow. Last week, we found a water leak in the attic and suffered damages from Sheetrock, hardwood flooring and insulation as well as mold in a closet area. The mold took this job to a whole other problem. I talked to Herb by phone and he had a crew out the next morning, as well as a dumpster delivered. Anyone experiencing this situation knows remediation is costly (insurance company denied the claim) and Herb worked with us. He pulled a rabbit out of his hat to make this happen. His crew performed the job with professionalism and in a timely manner. We couldn’t ask for more. Unfortunately, we aren’t patient enough to wait through the weekend and will be using someone else to reinstall, however, the fence starts tomorrow as well and I’m at ease knowing his company is handling the job.

Detached garage - Herb and his team at Colony did a great job on the gage build. I work in industrial construction and have pretty high standards and Colony did not disappoint. Herb was always available to address questions and requests. The garage looks great! As a matter of fact, we have had several people say that it looks like it was built with the house instead of added later.

Highly recommend Colony . We have used them for several years for all our home repairs and improvements .Always easy to work with, reliable quotes and work to schedule. We have Used them for roofing, siding, Windows, trim as well as adding a deck and a kitchen remodel. Always quality work, courteous and professional workers. Exceptional performance if dealing with an insurance claim, they work with your best interest in mind. The owner Herb is incredibly knowledgeable and works to get the best solution to every situation.

My granite company Quality Stone Concepts, has been working with Herb and the guys at Colony and our jobs have gone smoothly, and all customers have been completely satisfied with Colony. Looking forward to working with them more often.
