Called for a quote set an appt. and company was a no call, no show, called to ask what occurred and didn't receive a call back.

I called this company three different times over the course of three weeks and spoke to someone in the office each time, but no one ever responded beyond that to come out to take a look at my roof. I gave them the benefit of the doubt …

My elderly mother in law paid Josh’s Construction almost $10k in cash for a new roof that has been leaking since installation. She was told that they would come back to make repairs, but in the meantime, they placed rags in the attic to …

We purchased a historic house in Greenville, RI. Repairs were made to the roof (Josh's Construction) before the final sale per the addendum. There were no active leaks at the time until repairs were made. We moved in to find a good sized leak and we could not get in touch with Josh or their crew to come out and inspect/or see if they were the reason they caused the leak on Cedar Roof Shingles. We cannot even see if the work is warrantied because Josh will never return a phone call. His secretary just says he's busy and will call you back. A month later no call and no resolution. We filed a BBB claim and no response from that as well. Please be aware of this company and their practices. If you have a Historical Registered house I would stay far away from this company. We're also a local business owner and it's a shame this has happened.

Seemed very expensive for 1/2 day of work. The work they did seemed fine. They recommended further repair but have refused to estimate that work despite four or five phone calls asking for that estimate

Josh and crew are top notch. Everything was thoroughly explained. Discussed different options and left the decision up to me, and explained the pros and cons with no pressure. Once they started work, they went at it like the true professionals they are. I was amazed in how much work they got done in a day, and all top quality. I would recommend Josh to anyone without any hesitation.

The Josh’s team did such an amazing job with the new roof at our home. It looks amazing! And no construction debris anywhere - like not even a tiny piece of old shingles - wow! Derek and team - thank you so much!! The most well deserved 5 star Google review ever!

Josh was excellent to work with from start to finish. We had issues with poor air circulation creating mold on the plywood in the attic and Josh took the time to try and figure out how to help fix that issue when replacing our roof. Only …

I had a small roof that needed to be done. Josh's Const did an awesome job, roof and gutters came out great. One company would not do it because there was a small space that had to be done too, Josh's const had no problem doing this. I strongly recommend them.

We highly recommend Josh's Construction. The entire process, from the time that Josh came out to meet with us about replacing the front panel on our roof, to the time when the job was completed, went very smoothly. When you call Josh's Construction, you speak with a person, not an answering machine. Megan was very helpful in getting the proposal to us and keeping us informed about scheduling. Josh's proposal was very detailed and clearly outlined the work that was going to be done. The price was very reasonable and competitive. The communication throughout the process was wonderful. Josh's attention to detail also extends to his excellent workmanship. The new front panel on our roof looks amazing! Josh and his team finished the work in one day! We were very impressed with the two young men working with Josh. They were polite, professional, and very hard working. The clean up job was incredible. There was not one piece of debris in the yard or the driveway. We will definitely be hiring Josh again in the future. It is wonderful to work with a local company that is reliable, professional, and provides outstanding service.

Josh is very professional and trustworthy. He explains everything that he did and puts your worries at ease. He was punctual. He is very knowledgeable and can solve difficult problems. His phone number is definitely one you want to keep. Josh is very respectful and courteous.
