Roofing

I first relied on the recommendation of an honest and successful businessman who suggested I contact Jason, with Kovar, when looking for a reliable roofer to replace my roof. Beginning to end I could not be more pleased with the results of Jason and his crew: professional, punctual, knowledgeable, polite and courteous. The product offering, workmanship, installation and cleanup, in my view, is superior, start to finish. I have no hesitation in recommending Jason and Kovar to my friends and family, and to you.

Skylight replacement

The seal was gone with the old skylight. Jason quickly responded and came to assess and provided a quote. Work was booked quickly and within a couple days, the work was scheduled. His crew showed up on time, did a good job and left the site clean. Overall happy. Thanks to Jason and his crew!

Soffits, fascia, eavesthrough

Very good experience working with Jason (owner) & Alex (installer).

Sales process: Timely response on both the initial request for quote and the delivery of the quote. Did not persistently try to win our business, which was much appreciated.

Price: Not the priciest quote but not the cheapest either, for a job where quotes ranged from $5K to $12K (???).

Service: Alex was very easy going to work with, was punctual, delivered on time, answered our questions in a timely matter, gave us some good advice. Dealing with Jason was also worry-free from quote, to booking, to invoicing, to post-installation support. Small mix up on start date but nothing we couldn't manage.

Quality: The end result is very nice! There were a couple of minor misses that we noticed a couple of weeks after the job but the guys quickly addressed the issue, no questions asked.

We would definitely recommend Kovar Contracting for a comparable job.

Replace flashing, replace a skylight, add some eaves, replace a chimney cap

From the estimate to the work to answering all my questions, the Kovar team were extremely professional, prompt, and helpful. This was a great stress relief to me, as I recently moved to the area and have no contacts established here. I was really impressed about the estimate actually as they were the only company out of almost a dozen I had contacted who came when promised, sent me a detailed, accurate estimate in writing, and were very accommodating and friendly in discussing it with me. They showed up as scheduled for the work, took care to be as clean as possible, and worked quickly and efficiently. I waited a bit before doing my review to experience some bad weather and everything has been absolutely perfect. I know who will be the first if not the only company I will call if I ever need similar work done again, because I know I can count on Kovar!

Replacing a leaking skylight

They completed the removal and installation of a new skylight quickly and for the price that they quoted. It has rained a lot since they installed the new skylight and the inside of our house is dry!

Replaced complete roof

Jason was very knowledgeable and has been very helpful in providing information on the products he supplies and recommending the best solution for our roof. His crew was hard working, efficient and provided quality services. The job was completed in 2 days and the crew cleaned up the yard each day. The crew was very good in responding to all my questions. I have no doubt that the roof they installed will last the 25 years stated with no problems instead of the 9 years for the one the builder put on. The cost was competitive. I would recommend them for all roofing needs.
