My wife and I had experienced a ruptured waterline at our home which did considerable damage. James River builders came to the rescue. Not only did they do a wonderful job working with our insurance company to finalize our claim, the work they did was outstanding. Everything they said would be done, was done, and quicker than expected. I don’t think you’d find anyone more honorable and professional. We recommend them highly.

James River Builders were excellent. They were prompt and professional from the beginning to the end of our project. They helped us navigate our insurance network, coordinated with mold remediators, replaced insulation and sheetrock, installed cabinets, changed out light fixtures, and renovated our flooring. Extremely helpful and knowledgeable, cannot recommend them highly enough.

We are incredibly pleased with the work James River Builders did for us! After moving into our home, we found the back doors leaked pretty severely during storms. Michael and his team did an excellent job coordinating with our mold remediation team, flashing the doors, and repairing our flooring and drywall. We’ve had several rainstorms and snowstorms since they finished their work, and our home has remained totally dry. We’re thrilled!

James River Builders was a great company to work with, they did a great job on our rebuild after a leak in our basement. The guys were very professional and jumped right in to help out when we had a second leak occur while they were here working on a different job. Highly recommend this business and will definitely use them again in the future.

We have ben thrilled with the working relationship we had with Jeff and his team at James River Builders. We chose them to handle the repairs to a condo in Charlottesville due to water damage. We had sheetrock, insulation and flooring damage including wood and tile flooring. JRB was professional, went above and beyond our expectations on numerous occasions during the repair process and the finished product is terrific. Jeff is honest and trustworthy keeping everything above board throughout the time we worked with him. The only surprises we had were pleasant ones. Would highly recommend JRB to anyone who needs restoration repairs to their property.

3. How to hire a roofing contractor?
+-

To hire a roofing contractor, start by researching local companies with good reviews and proper licensing. Request quotes from multiple contractors, verify their insurance and certifications, and ask for references. Always ensure you get a written contract that outlines the scope of work, timeline, and payment terms.

4. How to check if a roofing company is legit?
+-

Check if a roofing company is legit by verifying their business license, insurance, and local certifications. Look for memberships in professional associations, read customer reviews, and ask for recent project references. A legitimate company will be transparent and provide all documentation upon request.

5. How to choose a roofing company?
+-

When choosing a roofing company, consider their experience, customer reviews, warranty offerings, and quality of materials. Make sure they provide clear communication, detailed estimates, and a solid portfolio of completed projects. Local expertise is also a major advantage for understanding regional roofing needs.

6. How do you know if your roofing contractor is ripping you off?
+-

Warning signs that your roofing contractor might be ripping you off include vague contracts, pressure to pay large upfront deposits, lack of proper documentation, and unexplained price increases. Always ask for itemized estimates and written guarantees, and avoid contractors who avoid answering your questions directly.
