We hand-picked our exclusive products with you, your family, and your home's aesthetic and longevity in mind.

"Unprofessional visit. Showed up unannounced and we only knew they were there because one person stood 10 feet from our porch staring at us in through our living room window. My wife spent 10 minutes talking to them, they stated they had no business cards, they only had an appointment card but didn't present it. Honestly when you show up at someone's house you need some sort of identifier if your walking door to door in casual clothes. After the uncomfortable dead stare through the windows my wife and i have decided to post a No Solicitors sign. They didn't take no for an answer at first, pushing with more questions to circumvent the no she gave, as well as interrupted our dinner, as they showed up right at 6pm."

Gutter, door, and attic insulation projects qualify with a minimum job cost of $7,500. Discount applies to 50% off installation costs only, which typically account for 20-30% of the total job cost, resulting in a 10-15% overall project discount.

"We were looking to increase our attic insulation and met The Home Doctor Company at the Capital Remodel and Garden Show in February 2025 as well as some other companies. We consulted with several companies and decided to go with The Hone Doctor for our attic insulation. The company rep, Chris Lear, was very good explaining what they would do and why our attic needed R-38 insulation. I knew we needed more but did not realize our attic was only R-13. I have worked with numerous contractors before on projects and felt this was a really good company plus they have great reviews. The installation of the attic insulation went very well. They do install siding as well but decided to put this project off for now. Would highly recommend this company."

"I purchased a full trim wrap package as preventative maintenance on my new home. My wood trim was in good shape, but there is a ton of wood on the exterior of my house and I figured that getting it wrapped would give me some peace of mind. Paid cash for the project and had no trouble dealing with the office or my salesperson. When my appointment date came, a subcontractor arrived and began installation. The job was completed the same day. The crew managed to destroy about half of my front lawn (which has not really recovered), and put a scratch on my car, which I had moved to the curb to give the crew space. The quality of the work was atrocious. There are certain sections that are passable, but the majority of the project looks awful. There are large bulges on nearly all of the corner posts and most of the panels on the bay windows, and it has been getting worse over time. The finishing nails used to attach the panels seem to have been used completely at random - most of the bay window panels have 4-6 nails per panel, while one in particular has 14 nails and looks utterly terrible. A large amount of the caulking has separated, to the point where it's no longer something I can handle myself in a reasonable amount of time. High quality caulking should definitely last longer than year when applied correctly. Unfortunately, it looks like it was applied by a child in most areas. Naturally, this completely defeats the purpose of this job since moisture is able to get in pretty much everywhere. Worst of all, this summer, just a little over a year since I had the installation done, I have had a lot of humidity problems in my home. I decided to check the soffits to see if the fly-by-night crew that installed my trim had done the soffit fascias correctly. Turns out that they did not remove the existing vents or wood under the fascia, which was specified in the contract. So... now I have basically no attic ventilation due to the existing small vents having the vented vinyl fascia overlapping. I attempted to resolve many of these issues last year, but didn't have much luck with the one-man repair crew they have. I'm a single father of two young boys and at the time I was working two full-time jobs, so it was pretty tough to find an opening in my schedule. Whenever I did get in touch with him, his next appointment was always 2 weeks out and conflicted with something I had to do. The frustrating part was that he was always under the impression that he was only coming out to 'trim the patio doors', which the company had decided to throw in to make up for the issues I had. I explained multiple times that I had several issues that needed to be addressed, and yet I kept hearing the same thing, even after he had arrived one day and I explained it in person. I sent pictures of all of the issues to the company and even had my salesperson come by and see them in person. Things got pretty busy when my boys started school, so I didn't get a chance to follow up again until just recently. After discovering the unacceptable issue with the soffit fascias, I contacted Paramount two days ago through their website, and also attempted to call them. I didn't receive an email response, and did not receive a response to the voicemail message that I left. So here we are. Overall, I wish I had not had this project done at all. My home looks significantly worse than it did before the job was done, and I am very concerned about possible water/moisture damage due to the poor installation. The quality is so poor that I am considering hiring another contractor to simply remove all of it and repair the existing wood. Just take a look at the pictures... Now that I look at them, it's even worse than I thought."

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Fairfax, VA

To determine the number of trusses you need, measure the full length of the roof ridge, convert that length to inches, and divide by 24 (the standard on-center spacing). Always round up to give the structure full support and add a few extras for overhangs or complex rooflines. This approach keeps your roof strong and code-compliant.

Start by measuring the span—the full width of the roof’s underside—then note the pitch, or how many inches the roof rises for every 12-inch run. Accurate span and pitch numbers help your supplier size each truss correctly, saving lumber and ensuring the roof performs as it should. Your roofing pro will be able to provide accurate measurements for you.

A three-person crew with the right lifting equipment can set a full set of trusses in a single day. Complex roof shapes or limited crane access can stretch that timeline, so talk with your roofer about the schedule and whether you’ll need to stay elsewhere during installation. Careful planning keeps the job safe and on target.

Trusses are prefabricated off-site, arrive ready to lift into place, and install faster and more consistently than site-built rafters. Rafters are custom-cut on-site by skilled carpenters, so they take longer and cost more in labor. Knowing the trade-offs—speed and uniformity versus on-site customization—helps you pick the best framing method for your roof.

If you’re not a licensed roofer, hire a pro. Installing trusses requires heavy equipment, safety gear, and code knowledge that most DIYers lack. While doing it yourself might trim labor costs, one mis-set truss can lead to expensive repairs or voided warranties. A certified contractor installs trusses quickly, follows code, and protects your home’s value.
