    We take customer feedback seriously and are concerned by the experience described in this review. However, after reviewing our records, we have been unable to locate a customer or project matching the details provided. As a matter of company policy, we do not require full prepayment for gutter installations, which makes it difficult for us to identify this situation. We would welcome the opportunity to investigate further and address any legitimate concerns. If you are a customer of ours, please contact our management team directly at 601-966-8233 with your name, address, and project details so we can review the matter and work toward a resolution. We are committed to providing quality workmanship, professional service, and responsive communication, and we encourage anyone with concerns to reach out to us directly so they can be properly addressed.

    Was an ok experience until we were ghosted by Baxter Hartness. Our repair didn’t make your $500 threshold, but we also asked for another quote and have received no response. Kind of a bummer based on your 5 star rating.

    Hi A L, this is definitely not an experience we want for anyone and we would like to check into what happened and make it right! We’ve looked into our system and can’t find any clients with those initials who have had a quote recently. If you don’t mind, please contact us at sales@watkinsway.com or call 251-418-8270 so we can take care of you immediately!  Thanks!

    I had reached out to Watkins Construction some time ago through their website, and though I was told someone would contact me for a quote, no one ever called me back. Completely ghosted me. I had another roofing company quote me and within days, scheduled it and within a week we had our new roof. I guess the big companies are NOT the best.

  • 5 out of 5MICHAEL CONNELL3 weeks ago

    The team at Watson did a great job from start to finish. They came out to quote my roof replacement the day after I inquired. After contracting them and getting date to start job their office constantly contacted me to let me know of any delays to the start date. On start date and everyday they were here, their roof team was at the house as stated 7am and worked till 7pm as long as the weather permitted. It took a little longer than was agreed upon to finish job but weather was a factor. They did a good job of cleaning up at the end of every day. Communication with onsite supervisor went very well. He continually answered all my questions. The team on the roof, literally worked their tails off. So, I would definitely recommend Watson to my friends and family. I actually have them coming later this week to do some gutter work.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lee and John were amazing to work with! They are true experts when it comes to roofing and exterior remodeling. From the initial inspection through the completion of the project, they were professional, knowledgeable, and easy to communicate with. They explained everything clearly, kept us informed throughout the process, and made what could have been a stressful experience incredibly smooth. The quality of the work exceeded our expectations, and it's clear they take pride in doing things the right way. I highly recommend Chucktown Roofing Gulf Coast to anyone looking for an honest, professional team that delivers outstanding results.

    We discovered a leak and called Watkins because we were so happy with them last time we used them. Baxter looked over our roof and gave us an estimate and simple as that we have a repaired roof for a very reasonable fee. Stephanie kept us informed and we actually got repaired several days ahead of schedule. We appreciated Stephanie. Daniel was the crew chief and he and his crew arrived on time and they got the job done and the yard looked better when they left than it did before they started. Daniel showed us what caused the leak and what they did to fix it. Just a very good experience. Highly recommend Watkins Construction& Roofing and will call them again for sure.
