Work Description: hardly anything

Comments: Yates Contracting changed his name to J Yates Roofing and Contracting. Now the guy literally copied and pasted the profile from a real legit roofing company in Oklahoma and uses it for his Yellowpages, dexknows, superpages, mapquest, and other sites to advertise himself.

Please be aware that these profiles are just copied and pasted by a man on trial for fraud. He literally is so brazen he copies and pastes it word for word changing just the state and names of the company. He even links his advertisement pages to their websites. Don't hire this man!!!! Although nobody will be hiring anybody now that we are in another great Depression, but when we ever do recover, don't hire this man!!!!!

Work Description: Roof

Comments: Jeff Yates ripped me off. Took my money after doing the job barely right. Fraudster caused more damage than anything. However, don’t get him mixed up with Sam Yeates. That there man will do any job right and make sure it’s done well at a fair price. Sam is a good man. I hope Jeff goes to prison for his felony trail coming up in January.

Work Description: Conned out of hard earned money

Comments: Please be aware this is the page for Jeff Yates, who is currently on trial for fraud, deceptive business practices, and taking money and not performing the work. This is not S Yeates building whatever. This guy is worse than our president in conning people. Don’t be fooled. Hopefully some prison time will set him straight. Maybe the judge can google his name and see his schtick of using these sites to promote a false image of himself until he annoyed too many people and had to change his name because fake positives reviews weren’t working no longer.

Work Description: Ripped me off

Comments: Dude is a three time felon for home improvement fraud. Adding fake positive reviews is part of his deception crime. Hopefully he will be proven guilty and sent to prison.

Work Description: He will rip you off

Comments: I got persuaded to hire this guy from all the positive reviews. His work wasn’t positive. I think the 1 star reviews are legit and these positive ones are very suspect. Watch who you hire.

Work Description: new roof

Comments: This guy deceived me into thinking I was paying for legit service. My roof started leaking again about a few days after he left. He doesn't have a warranty, and my ceiling started falling down again after he claimed I would be getting new dry wall. My other review for further details can be on the BBB site that he has a F on.

I also check up on this guy to see how many people are currently suing him. Please be aware he was recently charged with three felonies for home improvement, fraud, and deceptive business practices.

Work Description: Siding/fascia repair

Comments: In July 2018, we hired Jeff Yates to complete some siding repairs and add missing fascia around a small part of the edge of our roof. While he and his brother completed a small repair the day they came to do our estimate, the rest of the repairs remain incomplete. Jeff took our money and ran. He does not return our calls or texts. Avoid at all costs.

Work Description: Gutter system and roof repair

Comments: I won a judgement in court against Jeff Yates and I am writing to help other potential victims. He demands a substantial down payment telling you that he needs the money to buy “materials”. He used old materials and he will give you multiple excuses for not showing up to do the work he was contracted for. All you have to do is read the horror stories from other people he bilked money from. The same common theme shows up every time and others have experienced receiving no communication after he has your money.. I had to hire another contractor who has an A+ BBB rating to finish the job. Jeff Yates has an F rating with the BBB. His main concern was how I got his address to have him served . Most people don’t take the time and chalk it up as a loss. I’m not one of those people. Avoid this so called contractor and hire someone who is reputable and will complete the work.

Work Description: Replace Roof

Comments: This man did work for my husband on our home He was so dumb. He didn't vet him at all. He paid him approximately 7K in cash and now we are putting more into the roof do to continued leakage. Insurance won't cover and the warranty is worthless.

Vetting isn't hard. First, go the BBB website. He is rated an F and please read the complaints. They are pretty bad. I won't repeat what I read about licensing and other problems. Just go there. Also, mind that not all positive reviews may be legit......

Second, go to the PA Court website. Google, "PA Court dockets". Then go to magistrate courts. Then search a search using the contractors name and look for civil cases. See how many times they are in court. Many contractors have to go to court, but many more spend time in court for faulty work. Please do mind even good contractors still will need to defend themselves in court. You can check other courts as well for criminal, non-traffic, etc and see if you want them at your house.

Work Description: They were supposed to replace gutters, downspouts and paint the trim on our rental property

Comments: I made a huge mistake by not vetting this contractor. I should have read that he is not accredited and has a C- rating with the Better Business Bureau. He took my money on July 6, 2018 and I had to get another contractor to finish the job. Mr. Yates will give you one excuse after the other and when he runs out of excuses he will tell you that there are a lot people ahead of you.
He set materials in the front yard that stayed there for four weeks in the grass. They did a pitiful job on the front porch roof. The nails weren’t long enough and the shingles didn’t come to the edge of the roof!!! The roof leaked after on the top of the house and they tried to say that it was the pipe in the inside. DO YOUR HOME WORK and hire a reputable contractor who knows what they are doing and won’t rip you off.

Comments: This man did a horrible job. Check his Better Business Borough site. The guy is rated a D+ and his work and his work ethic proves it. I wish I did more research before hiring this guy. He will rip you off, ask for all the money first and do a horrible job. DO NOT HIRE THIS GUY!!!!

Work Description: Roof

Comments: Did not come to my house when he stated. He brought only one other guy when he said their would be a team. The leaks have not STOPPED. Work was barely done right. Thumps DOWN!
There's only one loser clown in this scenario and that's who the idiot is that wrote this review.. Yates Contracting has been serving the Pittsburgh area for over 20 years... We have no record of doing any repair for anyone in Verona in all of our years... And no record of any Ron in Verona for roof replacement. Obviously this is some sort of mistake in the name of companies or some loser that has nothing better to do.. We pride ourselves in being more competitive at price than most companies in the area and sometimes other roofing companies put this sort of junk on the internet.... Feel free to request the list of hundreds of satisfied customers over the years When making your decision...

Work Description: Roofing

Comments: I am an ex-boyfriend of a 2 year fry cook of McDonalds. This contractor is a clown. Period. Most likely these reviews are himself or himself forcing his unpleased customers to make reviews for himself. The job he did for me was awful. He came across as the greatest contractor ever but him and his staff was unprofessional and just clownish. He sold himself as a contracting “company”, but I came to find out it is just him and a helper guy that sucks just as bad. This guy is probably from craigslist and doesn’t have any skills. If you want this clown to sell you his work to fix a problem then don’t expect it to be fixed.
Folks the last 2 reviews are Obviously making a joint effort to put down our company and have never done business with us... our company has been serving the Pittsburgh area for over 20 years with hundreds of completely satisfied customers... We have been voted a top pick 9 years in a row by the Gpac association and are top choice venders in several municipalities plus we offer all of our customers warranties...Please use common sense when reading such garbage written by people that hide behind the internet...
