  Yes, you have done business with me. From March 2021-Aug 2021, Rector Construction performed a full tear-off and replacement of our roof, facia, eaves, and gutters. However, your contact was mostly through my husband who has already exhausted his negative feedback. I am choosing to rate your company one star for several reasons: From the beginning of this project, the lack of communication has been frustrating and stressful. At least 3 times we were told that a team was coming out to start work and 3 times they did not show up and there was no communication as to if/when the work would be rescheduled. While I understand that emergencies happen and weather is unpredictable, a little transparency would have gone a long way to ease our concerns. Once work was completed on our roof, we had immediate issues. On 3/27/21, the day after roof-work was complete, it rained and our skylight started leaking water, damaging our interior roof (photos attached). We were told that someone would come out to take a look and make repairs, but again through lack of communication no one came out for approximately 5 days. My husband had to go up on the roof and make the repairs himself so we would not incur further damage. Eventually, a team came out to install a guard around our skylight and we negotiated a $200 credit on our invoice to offset the cost of repairing the interior damage ourselves. The repair work on our facia and eaves went a little smoother initially. However, less than a month after this work was completed, facia that had not been properly nailed down started falling off (photos attached). Again, my husband had to climb up on the roof and complete these repairs. In conclusion, I do not feel comfortable recommending Rector Construction to my friends and neighbors. Especially those who do not have the ability to physically climb up on their roof to inspect craftsmanship and make repairs to your work. There were other minor issues with craftsmanship and clean-up, but since completion of the project in August we have so far not had any more major problems. However, I am worried about durability through the upcoming winter. I was really hoping that a complete repair of our roof, facia, eaves, and gutters would help ease my concerns, not add to them. I hope you will take this feedback and apply it to your upcoming contracting jobs. Best of luck in the future.

  Rector replaced my old, nasty deck with a brand new one and I couldn't be happier. It is beautiful! Everyone was wonderful to deal with and very responsive if/when I had questions. I will use them again for other projects I want done around my house!

  We had Rector repair our home and put on a new roof after receiving hail damage. They were great to work with. Very professional. Even offered solutions to help mitigate flooding issues that we have had.
