"We recently had Chesapeake Thermal come out to replace 12 windows and 2 patio doors (as well as cap a bay window.) Matt, Nancy, and John were super easy to work with to get a quote on the replacement of our original 30 yr windows. The turnaround time between initial deposit and installation was ~11 weeks; a timeframe likely impacted by the uncertainty of the ongoing pandemic. With regard to installation, Sang (and team) did a phenomenal job. They were able to finish most of the install in one day, with some additional capping work finished two days later. The difference in comfort between our original windows and replacements is dramatic. We've noticed our HVAC rarely turning on now, and the comfort across the various levels of our townhome seems to be considerably more stable. We were really impressed from start to end, and wouldn't hesitate to use them again."

"I was impressed with how quickly Top Quality Contractors kept me in the loop during my roof replacement. Their team answered every question, sent daily updates, and even followed up after the job was done. It felt like having a personal project manager. If happiness had a location on Google Maps, it would be here. Highly recommend this roofing contractor."

"Donna, Thank you so much for your service. Steve was the consummate professional. I turned things over to him and never looked back. And when I finally went into the kitchen at the end of the party, all the food had been pulled and put away. All the dishes and cutlery had been washed. I would definitely recommend Steve and your service if asked and will definitely reach out for my next party. Many thanks again. Rich G."

"Mr. Corley quoted $865 to fix a dent and a bent seam in the metal roof over our porch that was allowing water to leak through. The amount also included adding a small piece of trimming (flashing) along the roof and tightening up a gutter running under the roof seam. About a month after I paid the deposit and signed the contract, two workmen came to my house unannounced to complete the repairs. It took them approximately 25 minutes to hammer out the dent and insert a couple of screws into the roof seam, slide the flashing into place and tighten some screws on the gutter. The worked looked sloppy but I would have paid the remainder of the bill had the roof not leaked just as badly as before the repairs during the next rainstorm. I emailed Corley's office and asked them to fix the problem, and submitted photos showing the poor quality of the repairs and evidence of the leaks. Five days later, the two workmen showed up unannounced at around 7:00 in the evening, but since I was not expecting them and we were in the middle of dinner, I asked them to return another time, but let me know when they were coming. I also emailed the company and asked that they give me a heads up, even a couple of hours, to let me know when the workmen would be arriving. They came back a few days later, this time I believe they called when they were on their way. Using a caulking gun, they applied several lines of silicone along the roof seam and prepared to leave. I told them that essentially placing glue along the seam was not an acceptable permanent solution. They agreed it was temporary fix and said they would tell their boss that the metal seam clip needed to be replaced. When I hadn’t heard anything after about a week, I emailed the company asking when the work would be completed. Mr. Corley emailed me back asking what needed to be done. I called him and explained that the silicone was temporary, and that after speaking to his workmen, it sounded like the seam clip needed to be replaced. He conceded that his company produced the clips and stated the work would be completed soon. I again asked that he give me a timeframe for when the workmen would show up so I could make sure I was home. About a week or two later, his workmen showed up unannounced while I was not at home, scraped most of the silicone off the seam and patched it with a 12 inch piece of metal seam clip. Their efforts fixed the leak but I was sorely disappointed with the quality of the work. I hired a metal roofing specialist thinking that the work would look professional and seamless, but it looks like something I could have done myself. Moreover, I think it was unconscionable to quote me $865 on a job they initially thought was going to take 25 minutes and involve nothing more than a couple of screws and a piece of flashing that sells at Home Depot for about $5."

"This review is a bit overdue. Had new doors and windows installed in early 2021. I had a very good experience with this company and with Mr. Edward Dunn. He was very prompt in answering all my questions and also patient as he worked with me while I tried to decide among the various options for doors and windows. I felt he offered me very fair and reasonable prices compared to some other quotes I received. Am especially grateful for him even considering my business since my order was quite small, and I have been finding that, esp. during COVID times, many companies won't consider the 'smaller jobs.' There were a few problems during installation (one wrong window size, flaw in a door screen), but Mr. Dunn promptly addressed these and everything was resolved to my satisfaction. I absolutely love my new windows and doors. Oh and the installers were fantastic. Really nice guys. Did outstanding, beautiful work and didn't leave a mess. I am all around very, very happy I chose this company."

"I used this company for a number of years and the overall service is no longer the same. I had them over to clean my gutters and I witnessed ladders slamming against the side of my house and they tore one of the edges from the corner of my roof with their step ladder. I will not use them going forward."

"I had used Dry Home Roofing to replace my roof several years ago and to repair a skylight. I found them to be reasonably priced, honest and easy to work with. When I was told I needed new gutters, I contacted them and two other companies. They were more reasonably priced for both the gutters and the new ridge vent and kept me informed of installation dates as we contended with several winter storms. The gutters and ridge vent installation went well and I am happy with the service provided."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Dowell, MD

An average Cape Cod roof-raising project requires approximately two to three months from start to finish. The timeline depends on several variables, including weather conditions, contractor availability, material delivery schedules, and the specific complexity of your home's structure. The process involves multiple phases, including demolition, framing, roofing, window installation, and interior finishing. Working with an experienced contractor who provides a detailed timeline can help set realistic expectations for the project duration.

While most Cape Cod homes can accommodate roof-raising modifications, each house requires individual structural assessment. Older homes may need foundation reinforcement or wall strengthening before supporting additional weight. Factors like the existing roof framing system, load-bearing wall placement, and overall structural integrity all influence feasibility. A qualified structural engineer should evaluate your specific property before proceeding with design plans. Additionally, local zoning ordinances may restrict maximum building height or architectural modifications in certain neighborhoods.

Temporary relocation is highly recommended during a Cape Cod roof raising project. The construction process involves removing portions of your existing roof, exposing interior spaces to potential weather damage, and creating significant noise and dust. Most homeowners find temporary accommodations for the two to three-month construction period, with relocation costs ranging from $2,000 to $6,000, depending on your housing choices. If staying with family or friends isn't possible, budget for short-term rental or extended-stay hotel expenses as part of your overall project cost.

Consider roof raising when you experience severely limited headroom throughout the second floor, find yourself constantly stooping under sloped ceilings, or have minimal usable floor space due to low ceiling heights. Other indicators include inadequate natural light, poor ventilation, and difficulty accommodating standard furniture in upstairs rooms. Simple renovations can improve an attic's appearance, but cannot create additional headroom without structural modifications. A complete roof-raising project makes more sense than cosmetic renovations if you're seeking genuine second-floor living space rather than just storage improvements.

Begin your search by seeking contractors with specific experience in Cape Cod structural modifications and dormer additions. Request detailed portfolios showing similar completed projects and ask for references from previous clients with comparable work. Verify that potential contractors hold appropriate licenses and insurance coverage and understand local building codes relevant to roof raising. Interview multiple candidates, comparing price quotes and their communication style, project approach, and proposed timeline. The ideal contractor should demonstrate a thorough understanding of Cape Cod architectural characteristics and structural requirements.
