A1 Progressive Construction

A1 Progressive Construction operates on a value proposition that's hard to ignore: roof replacements and masonry work at prices that are often thousands below competing bids. Based in Fair Lawn, NJ, the company handles residential roofing, step rebuilds, walkways, and exterior masonry across the NYC metro area. When foreman Henry and his crew are on-site, reviewers describe professional, punctual work with strong attention to detail.

The savings are real, but so are the tradeoffs. The company relies heavily on subcontractors, and without consistent on-site supervision from ownership, quality control becomes the homeowner's responsibility. One detailed review catalogs a series of issues: wrong-color shingles, cedar shake labeled "not for exterior use," downspouts installed in specifically prohibited locations, and insufficient debris cleanup. The reviewer ultimately got satisfactory results — but only after actively catching and calling out each problem.

Missed appointments without notification appear in multiple reviews, and the company's reliance on subcontractors means the crew you meet at the estimate may not be the crew doing the work. For budget-conscious homeowners willing to be present during work and inspect carefully, A1 can deliver genuine savings. For those who prefer a hands-off experience, the supervision gaps make this a riskier bet.
