I had my old back staircase removed and a new one installed. Johnnie came out to look at the project and gave me an estimate with a few days. He was very responsive and communicated with me throughout the project. He was very personable and knowledgeable. He stopped by several times during the project to see how things were going and to address any issues, etc. Johnnie even helped me store leftover materials in my shed. I was very pleased with the entire experience. Victor was the carpenter who did the work. He was also great to work with. He was very knowledgeable and worked very hard. He made sure things were done my satisfaction. I would definitely recommend Jacob’s Ladder again!

Johnnie and Neri helped me make my house look like new! Neri replaced the rake boards with PVC and Johnnie saw that I had two coats of paint on the A frames. Jacob did a great job of replacing my old galvanized gutters and downspouts with brand new ones! All in all it was a terrific job! Thank you all for a job well done! Sam Mottley

I am so pleased with the work that was done. Everything was done efficiently, with awesome communication and great care to make sure everything was just right. All of the trim on our rather complicated house was replaced and I couldn't be happier. I'd highly recommend Jacob's Ladder. The pricing was fair and competitive, and the job was well done!

One of the best experiences we've had working with a contractor! Johnnie exceeded our expectations constantly with his communication and helpfulness and Neri did such an excellent job on all the siding repairs! 10/10 would recommend Jacob's Ladder if you want a local company you can trust to do a solid job.
The commencement date for your project depends on several factors including the project scope, our current workload, and weather conditions. Upon receipt of your deposit and material selections, we will provide an estimated start date. We strive to begin your project promptly while maintaining our commitment to quality. We will keep you informed of any changes to the projected timeline.
Do you use subcontractors?
We employ both subcontractors and direct employees. All our workers, whether subcontractors or employees, work exclusively for Jacob's Ladder. This ensures consistency in quality and reliability. Each individual undergoes thorough vetting and training to meet our rigorous professional standards.
What is the difference between a manufacturer's warranty and a company/labor warranty?
A manufacturer's warranty covers defects in the materials themselves, such as siding or roofing shingles. The coverage varies by product and manufacturer. Our company/labor warranty, on the other hand, covers our workmanship, ensuring proper installation. If any issues arise due to installation errors within the warranty period, we will rectify them at no additional cost to you.
I would like to move forward with my project. Do you have financing options?
We offer financing options through our trusted financial partners to help make your project more affordable. During your consultation, we will be pleased to guide you through the financing application process and explain the available terms.
How often should I have my house power washed?
We recommend power washing your home annually to remove accumulated dirt, mold, and mildew. For homes in areas with heavy foliage or exposure to severe weather conditions, power washing every 6 to 9 months may be beneficial.
When is it too cold to perform your services?
Our team operates year-round, but extreme cold can impact certain materials and installation processes. For instance, roofing and painting are best performed when temperatures exceed 40F to ensure proper adhesion and curing. In cases of severe weather, we may suggest rescheduling to maintain our high-quality standards.
Do you have high pressure salespeople?
We do not employ high-pressure sales tactics. Our team consists of friendly professionals who are passionate about home improvement projects and dedicated to helping you find the best solutions for your needs. We are always available to answer your questions, even if our services are not the right fit for your project.
How can I tell which business to work with for my home project?
We recommend thorough research when selecting a home improvement company. Meet with at least three companies and observe their approach. Be wary of high-pressure sales tactics and limited product options. Review their Google reviews and Better Business Bureau listing, and consider requesting references from recent customers. At Jacob's Ladder, we employ consultants who offer a range of choices and provide comprehensive education throughout the process.
What CC do you accept?
We accept Visa and MasterCard for payment, with a small processing fee to offset our associated costs. American Express and Discover are not currently accepted. We also offer financing options through third-party lenders for your convenience.
What is your minimum project rate?
Our minimum project rate varies based on the season and scope of work. We require at least a full day's work for our crew to ensure proper resource allocation and high-quality results. Please contact us for a brief consultation to determine if your project meets our minimum requirements.
