I called a couple of weeks ago asking for a meeting to discuss major renovations to my house. After roughly describing the project and being told that what I wanted was exactly what they do, I asked “ Do I go to you or do you come to me”? I was told to expect a callback in a day or two. No callback. Similar to most all other contractors in the county, they have lots of current work and therefore they don’t have to care, so they don’t.

Melisa and Ray have been assisting us as consultants on a home we are having built out of town. We consider ourselves very fortunate to have found an independent and unbiased advisor. So far Melisa has reviewed our plans, recommending some changes that we are so grateful she found. In addition, She reviewed our bids and did detailed comparisons for us. We are looking forward to continuing our relationship throughout the build. Rave gives us peace of mind.

Meticulous, dedicated, hard working, talented and highly respected company whose craftsmanship speaks for itself!!! It is family owned by one of the best families I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. It is an honorable company that does impeccable work. My #1 choice for any home repairs I need, big or small. I can assure you that you will be more than happy you used this excellent company.

My wife and I began exploring the concept of building an Auxiliary Unit on our property adjacent to our home. We went on-line to look at building plans and found one that we liked. The problem was that it wasn't accepted by the local building authority. We were in a panic and contacted Melisa. She assured us that she could help us and took our original plans and added not only the detail to gain compliance, but also made the bidding and building process much easier. We are grateful to Melisa and her team and look forward to working with her on other projects!

Rave design+build is an incredible construction, design, and contracting company. We used them for a commercial building renovation and a kitchen renovation, and we find them to be upfront, creative, diligent, and make beautiful spaces. Ray is a true craftsman, and Melisa has impeccable taste. We highly recommend Ray, Melisa, Liam, and team!

We had hardwood floors installed. Bathroom fixtures and tile installed. We had a screen porch and deck completed that ties in with the house and looks like original construction. Wouldn’t use anyone else for major work on our home.

Rave does such an awesome job. Great communication the whole way and they started on time for our project. Our trim and gutter project was challenging, because it was on a high slate roof with a lower section of slate roof below, requiring an on site scaffolding to be built. Ray was ready to problem solve for us and take on the challenge. They started right on schedule and the result was amazing. True craftsmanship and a great overall experience! Thanks Ray and Melisa!

If you live in Gloucester and have trouble getting contractors to show up or finish the job, or have been taken advantage of, give these guys a call. I thought my house was sinking and when I called they showed up within a couple hours climbed under my house and assessed the problem. After assuring me my house wasn't going to collapse they said they would come up with a couple options and get me a bid, which they did in just a few days. I can't say if the price was the best I could have gotten but it was very reasonable especially since they were willing to start the following week. They are almost done and they have been here when they said they would, the guys were polite and respectful of my home and really wanted to do the best they could. My husband is overseas and I felt like they were really looking after my best interest. They stayed below budget and when the job got more complicated they figured away to stay within the original budget. This has been a very good experience so far. They are almost done and I will post again when the job is complete. Tommy Ray, Cory and the guys did a great job letting my husband concentrate on his job overseas with the US Army by taking care of his home and family when he couldn't.

Service questions
1. Should I stay home during roof replacement?

It's not necessary to stay home during roof replacement. Roofing work is noisy and can cause vibrations inside the house, which might be uncomfortable. Most homeowners choose to leave during major parts of the project, but our team ensures safety and keeps you updated, whether you're home or not.

The timeline for a roof replacement typically ranges from one to three days, depending on the size and complexity of the roof, weather conditions, and material type. Larger or more intricate roofs may take a bit longer, but we always aim for efficient, timely completion.

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.
