Bourque Construction

I hired Bourque on 6/19/17 to put a new roof on my house. They required 1/2 of cost as down payment. In the contract it was stated that the roof would be complete in 10 days - it is now 7/25 and Bourque Construction is a no show. I called them several days ago to get a refund on my down payment because I hired someone else. They will not return my calls, they (after a week of calling them twice a day) have still not returned a call or my money. I filed today in small claims and I got a great roofer who was $2,000 cheaper. Beware of this company they are crooks!

If I could leave no star, then I would.

There is an active legal claim, some information has been omitted, but will be provided once claims have finished. I do not recommend Joseph “Joe” Bourque of Bourque Construction. Save yourself the hassle and nightmare!

I began my search early spring for a contractor to do an addition. As a disabled veteran, budget was important, as was time. Joe Bourque of Bourque Construction was highly recommended to me by a contractor and fellow veteran. Since he didn’t do additions, he recommended Bourque.

I hired Joe Bourque of Bourque Construction to complete a handicap compliant addition. First and foremost, he knew time was a factor over money. His bid came in mid-range of other quotes, everything seemed legit, permits pulled, etc. the finished product was to be completed by mid September.

There seemed to be issues almost immediately after the materials were delivered. Delays with the crew, not showing up, materials left around scattered, and lack of communication. I would hear one story from him, and another from the subs on where he was and what was going on. False promises, and unprofessionalism appeared to be the new norm. It became apparent he was working 2 job sites and he wasn’t able to properly address concerns I had at mine. This was recently confirmed, with the details nearly the same.

I started messaging and texting him, along with the guy who recommended him, and I would get more empty promises, said he would show up, and then not, and then had a sub, etc. this went on for months, and significantly impacted my lifestyle (amongst other things) with having to be there, and then no one showing up. Come December, nearly three months past the deadline, materials still scattered, staging still attached, along with other multiple issues that weren’t addressed, I had no choice but to get an attorney involved. To this day, he has avoided following up with both myself and the attorney, and has told the mutual contractor he’s having his attorney handle it- yet refuses to reply despite reading the messages.
