James & Whitney Co. - Portsmouth, NH

I recently had my barn roof replaced in Somersworth and it was a wonderful experience. I worked with Jeromy at the start who walked through everything with me.

They called the day before to confirm the appointment and showed up right at 7am. Nate was on site with us that day and he kept us informed as they worked through the project.

The team cleaned everything afterwards and we are glad that our barn is no longer leaking. I would highly recommend. They made reroofing our barn easy and the 12 month 0% financing didn't hurt either!

My siding project in Saco was executed timely, professionally, and with an attention to detail to get things right. Old house comes with a few oddities and they removed and re-sided with precision. I appreciated their professionalism ensuring an end product that will function as good as it looks, and last a long time. Will absolutely have them back for any additional work I might need.

Highly recommended! J&W just recently re-sided our entire beach house with Hardi shakes and the process and results were both great. The crew was hard-working and our project manager, Jesse, was professional and did a great job communicating. No surprises and the house looks amazing. Thank you!

I contacted James and Whitney not knowing what to expect. Their website looked nice and was easy to navigate. I used the contact us now feature and sent an email. Within a matter of hours I got a response. Given the ice that was building up outside my garage door, I determined I needed a gutter along my roof line. James and Whitney had someone provide an estimate within 24hrs. A quote was soon to follow, which was reasonable. I did not feel the need to shop around because I was impressed by the level of service I was experiencing. The install coordinator told me I was in for the 19th. Two days later they asked if I could accommodate an install that day! Heck yes!!! Two weeks sooner than expected! I was thrilled!! The gentleman who installed was awesome!! So nice and accommodating and did a super job installing the gutter by himself. The quality and level of service James and Whitney provided was exceptional. Sadly, this isn’t the case for all businesses. They certainly set the high bar. I feel good knowing if anything were to ever become faulty they would stand by their work. My gutter has held up to 20 inches of snow and ice!! It has been put to the test with days of being installed. I am pleased and you will be too if you decide to go with James and Whitney.

Great company to work with ! Service was amazing throughout the entire process ! Steve and Eric are the best !

Nobody wants to buy a new roof, but when you have to, you want it done right. These guys are incredibly professional and do top quality work.

Getting a new roof put on your house or building is one of the most important and stressful things you have to do as a homeowner. I say stressful because as many people discover, unless you can handle the job yourself you’ll have to hire someone, and finding someone who is dependable, reputable, and good at this particular craft can be very difficult.
A few years ago I bought a nearly 200 year old property with a large house, connected ell and barn, and have been working on it since. Just before I bought the place the previous owners hired another company to put a new roof on the house, and the job that was done was very disappointing. Since I had no say in this I have had to live with the poor decision in hiring and the poor execution of the job.
So when I was ready to have the roofs on the large ell and barn done, I did a lot of research into the various companies available in my area.
Luckily for me, I found James & Whitney online. Gotta admit, while reading the many rave reviews about the company, I had my doubts they were all legitimate. Seemed too good to be true. But here I am, several months later, after they completed my job, and I’m writing one myself.
From the very first call to the company I was impressed. They were very responsive, friendly, and competent. Jeromy drove quite a ways to give me an onsite evaluation as the company is based in Maine but expanding into New Hampshire. He was outstanding and very thorough. The estimate/quote I received a short time later was lengthy and concise. We even included the demolition of a deteriorating and unused chimney on the ell as part of the job, which took another worry off my mind. To top it off, he also gave my next door neighbor a quote on his house and ell, and said we’d get a discount if we did both jobs on the same day, which we ended up doing. My neighbor got the same type of quote as I and was also very impressed.
After making our selections for materials, we then waited out the rotten winter until April when both jobs were to be done.
Two days before the job start the materials were delivered to the site. Delivery was very professional and the materials were all bundled and stacked together, separated for each job.
One day before the job start the dumpsters were delivered, again very professionally. They work with The Can Man out of Lebanon, ME and they were great, friendly and professional and the dumpsters looked new because they were.
Day of the job went off like a military operation. I grew up in the trades and know what I’m looking at when people do this type of work. They brought in a great crew, large enough, motivated enough and experienced enough to pull off two large jobs at the same time. In effect they stripped, repaired and reshingled FOUR roofs in one day—including taking my chimney down below the roof line and buttoning it up — and when they left everything looked outstanding plus they cleaned up so well they left no trace of the work except the full dumpsters and some excess materials that were both picked up a few days later. Even Jeromy showed up to touch base and be onsite for the job start, something that surprised me and was appreciated.
The onsite project manager was a young but experienced carpenter named Shayne and Shayne was also outstanding. Not content merely to supervise, Shayne executed a lot of the more precise and difficult parts of the install himself, finessing the valley work and replacing some rotted wood on the barn. Shayne also put up two ladders and improvised some sheathing specifically to protect two antique carriage lamps mounted on the barn from any possible falling debris. The attention to detail was greatly appreciated.
The crew was outstanding and worked arduously from about 8am until after 6pm, stopping only for lunch. They were all business, no smoking, no fooling around, though they did appear to be happy in their work and in working with each other.
All in all an outstanding experience, and I cannot recommend the fine folks at James & Whitney enough.
Very best regards

James and Whitney roofing Jeromy in particular are vey timely, courteous and deliver exactly what they promise. I’m in the middle of working with them and I am quite pleased and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. Good people in a time where that’s hard to find

We got 3 quotes to repair a couple of issues on our roof. James & Whitney was priced competitively and had great communication. The crew that showed up worked quickly and did a great job. They also encountered a small 'surprise' left by a contractor during a renovation and went into our attic to inspect the issue and repair it properly for us. Very pleased with our experience.

They were great to work with! Even though my roof repair was a relatively small job, they were quick to fix the problem for us when other companies wouldn't even return my phone call because I didn't need a whole new roof. I highly recommend them!

James & Whitney Co. are extremely professional and were so easy to work with. They have a smooth estimating and installation system. Jeromy Morse is terrific to work with. He's very responsive and explains his quote effectively. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for any type of home exterior work that they need.

They say a home is the biggest investment in a persons life. That’s why it’s important that you have the right people when it comes to working on your home! Jeromy is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and trustworthy and is my go to for my own home and for my clients! I couldn’t recommend him enough!

If you are looking for a trustworthy and personable exterior specialist in the area of NH and Maine I highly recommend working with Jeromy from James & Whitney Co. He is professional and incredibly educated. I would recommend to friends and family!

Our roof inspection today was a great experience….professional, timely, and great collaboration! Thanks to Mindy for the inspection work at our Brunswick home today! You were fantastic and we look forward to more work with James & Whitney Co.

What a great addition Jeromy is to James and Whitney. New Hampshire is lucky to have the service, professionalism, compassion and knowledge that Jeromy brings to each and every one of his clients!

Jeromy has been great to work with. He has been very responsive and patient with us as we make long term decisions on our house. I’m very surprised we got on their schedule so quickly and can’t wait for them to start. (I won’t have to wait long). My wife and I are very happy we decided to work with him and James & Whitney.

Jeromy was professional, timely and great to work with! It is really hard nowadays to find reliable contractors but my husband and I couldn’t recommend James & Whitney Co enough. So happy with our new roof!

I had the pleasure of working with Jeromy throughout my entire process and I am thrilled about the results! James & Whitney roofing was able to provide me with a new roof in salem New Hampshire within my budget with a quick install! The team was phenomenal to work with! I highly recommend them!

We just had them do a quote for a repair but then decided to do a quote for whole roof, the amount was fair and contact with Mindy during the estimate was great she responded quickly to all questions and had answers. So we are getting new roof soon and feel like it’s in good hands. I will update this when roof is complete.

Jeromy came out for our roof inspection and was very professional and thorough. He is knowledgeable and was very helpful walking us through the process. We look forward to working with him again!

I heard about James & Whitney from a friend. I called to have someone come take a look at my roof. Jeromy responded right away and was out the same day to inspect my roof. He had a very detailed quote over to me within 24 hours. Give them a call and ask for Jeromy he will take good care of you!

Just recently had James & Whitney Co come take a look at my sister's roof. Jeremy called me right away to set the appointment. He arrived on time and was informative and professional. He sent me a detailed quote within 24 hours. I will be sure to recommend them to other family members and friends.

I sent in an inquiry and Jeromy was quick to respond. He showed up promptly and was professional throughout the inspection. Will definitely recommend to friends and family.

Jeromy at James and Whitney is incredibly professional and kind, highly recommend for roofing and look forward to working with them!

Needed a new roof and was impressed with their website. I called to book and appointment. Jeromy showed up right on time and was pleasant to work with. He explained in depth about the company and their process. I look forward to having them come replace my roof.

Just had my roof replaced and I am extremely happy with the work they did. Jeromy was so professional and great to work with. I had reached out to many other company’s but none of their customer service compared to Jeromy. He was responsive throughout the process and kept me informed each step of the way. If you need any exterior work done you will not be disappointed.

Jeromy was extremely professional and had a quick turn around time for the quote. Will definitely use him in the future!

Just met with Jeromy as i am in the market for a new roof. He was very helpful and showed me some pictures of areas of concern on my roof. I had a quote by the end of the day and it was very detailed. If you're looking for a professional team, look no further. I will be telling all my friends.

I had the pleasure of not only conversing but working with Jeromy Morse from James and Whitney Co. I would have to say the companies exceptional and his professionalism his second to none . I would highly recommend utilizing the services and working directly with Jeromy.

Just had Jeromy come out to take a look at the siding on my house. He had samples with him that made it very easy to make a decision. He was very helpful and had a report sent to me by the end of the day. Very responsive and professional.
