A. Parker Contracting

In a nutshell: fast, prompt, efficient, friendly, tidy, careful, capable, reliable, and reasonable. Would use them again in a minute. To give more details, we had been looking for a roofer for quite some time to no avail. And while we had a number of other things that needed to be done--some exterior painting, interior water damage repair, installation of a front step and railing, and moving a new mattress and base to a third-floor bedroom from the outside (the mattress delivery men couldn't get it up our narrow, winding staircases)--we never dreamed that we could find a roofer who could also do all of those other things, too! Al came to the house and we showed him what needed to be done. A couple of days later we had a very detailed estimate. The work took about three days. Each day he sent the same crew--Oswaldo, Pedro, and Josmar. The guys were prompt, friendly, efficient and overall a pleasure to work with. They also cleaned up afterwards. Our house has two additions so we actually had three different roofs put on, and we couldn't believe how quickly they got them all done--and they look great! As well, our newly painted front doors and window trim look amazing. We are so pleased with not just the outcome but the entire experience of working with Al and his team. At the end Al said to be sure to get in touch if we ever need any other work done, even if it's just getting something upstairs again. They also do interior work during the winter months. We highly recommend Al Parker General Contractor for any kind of work you need to have done. Their slogan, "One call does it all," is totally accurate. To sum up, we are totally happy customers and will definitely use Al Parker General Contractor for our future house projects.

We had a great experience with Alex and his crew! We purchased our fixer upper almost five years ago. It has Cedar Plank siding and we expected a lot of issues, which we got. The best part about Alex is he is easy. He is easy to work with, he easily helps you problem solve to fit your budget, and he helped me relax and not stress so much as issues cropped up - such as wasps nest in the house behind the chimney, a lot of rotted boards, and an entire wall that hadn’t even had vapor barrier applied and needed to be replaced. Alex would swing by and check in on things every other day or so, or if I needed him. He was very responsive and attentive. His crew, who were here every day, were great to work with even when I changed some colors around or otherwise switched things up. Friendly and respectful when I had questions, needed suggestions, or just some reassurance. We had a big job here, it took two weeks in 95+ degree temperatures. Weather alone is enough to make anyone lose their minds. Not these guys. These guys never lost their cool or their cheerfulness. I respect that a lot. The reason we picked A. Parker Contracting has a lot to do with how he presented himself while reviewing the house for the estimate. I’d done some research on how things should happen, and he answered my questions about his process but he also explained how and why he would do certain things and when. Not all the contractors who came out to bid would do this. He wasn’t the lowest bid but he wasn’t the highest bid either. He wasn’t trying to ‘sell’ me. At the end of the day and at the end of this project I think they did an outstanding job. It is obvious they just want their customer’s home to look great and for them to be happy.

I want to start how I first came to use this company. Maybe 10? years ago, my neighbor noticed that my ridge vent was off and we were expecting a storm. I contracted A. Parker based off of a Facebook recommendation. It was late in the day and he didn't have a crew available. But he came himself that night (NIGHT) and went on the roof and tarped it off. He fixed it the following day. Move forward a few years, and it was time to replace the original roof. Based on my earlier experience with this company, I knew I wanted them to do the work. The job went smoothly and I was very happy. He also replaced some of my gutters (I had a small tree growing out of one!) and have fixed some siding issues I had after I removed an awning. Today, I noticed some storm damage where some shingles were loose. Even though I said it wasn't an emergency, he had his crew here within an hour of me calling. Granted I know this may be just a slow day, but in my past experience, he is so professional and reliable. I will absolutely recommend this company to anyone who needs a contractor - especially a roof. Alex is the best! I don't think I would have gotten this type of service from other companies. I am so appreciative!

They stand behind the work they do and they have fair pricing. We had water coming down chimney breast in attic (pictured) and could hear it dripping behind our bedroom wall. Reached out to several roofers and Al responded first offering to come out the same afternoon since they were in the area. He explained the flashing could be the issue and went into detail about how step flashing can cause this type of leaking if not done properly. I also pointed out missing facia behind our roofline gutter, which he explained was not properly tucked into the drip ledge when installed by someone else years ago, which caused the wood to rot and gutter to sag over time. They came out later in the week and did the work. They provided pictures of the damaged wood and all details so I was confident they assessed the cause accurately, which gives peace of mind. Al mentioned the mortar on our chimney crown showed cracking and that it’s a small fix that could be causing the leaking as well. During the recent major storm I noticed the same leaking in the chimney so they came back out next day and addressed the cracking crown.

We can’t say enough good things about A. Parker Contracting! We had purchased a home that advertised “new” siding. Turns out the previous owners had painted over the old vinyl siding, and it started to buckle and separate in the summer heat. We did not expect to have to re-side the house within our first year, but it had to be done. From start to finish, both Al and his team were great to work with. During our estimate walk through, Al offered some design suggestions which we ended up taking (so glad we did). Their low pressure approach and fair pricing made them stand out. After stripping off the siding, we found old termite damage in certain areas. Issues mid-project often lean in favor of the contractor (it has to get fixed), but Al did not take advantage or up charge us. We found his quote to address the damage to be reasonable. The crew was friendly and hardworking, and they did a great job of cleaning up the yard at the end of each day. Overall, we’re very happy with the services provided. Thank you, Al and team!
