What recent reviews say

J. Ratch Construction delivers consistently high-quality roof work at competitive pricing, with Jeff responding quickly to storms and honoring timelines. Most projects include proactive problem-solving (dry rot repairs, bonus tile replacements), clear photo documentation, and thorough daily cleanup.

However, one customer reported Jeff became defensive and verbally abusive when mistakes were raised, refusing repairs. Outside that incident, reviewers praise his knowledge of tile roofs, fair estimates, efficient crews, and willingness to handle unexpected complications without extra charges.

Praised for
  • responsive and quick appointments
  • fair pricing
  • quality workmanship and attention to detail
  • Jeff's professionalism and communication
Watch-outs

Best for: Homeowners with tile roofs who value transparent pricing and quick storm damage response.
Think twice if: Jeff may become defensive if issues arise during or after the job; one customer reported hostile behavior when pointing out mistakes.

  • Proactive dry rot and damage detection during projects
  • Experienced with tile and specialty roofing

Worth knowing

Noah's Roofing handles everything from first contact to final cleanup with consistency.

Kevin, the site supervisor, and office staff like Bonnie regularly earn praise for patience, clear explanations, and honesty about costs. Staff named in reviews include Kevin (site supervisor), Noah, Bonnie (office), and Aaron. Customers mention competitive pricing close to or below competitor quotes, financing options available, and one inspector comment that a full tear-off and replacement was "perfect." One complaint: an estimate took a week to arrive after an initial visit, though this appears isolated against 128 reviews.
