"Spent ~$50,000 on a new roof with them. Thought everything went well. Years later discovered that they had not sealed the cricket on the chimney well enough. Discovered water coming in and eventually rotting the wallboard, studs, etc. Had to replace entire wall. Called them about the issue, they sent a rep. He said it was the chimney's fault, it was leaking. Not so, opened the wall and ceiling and had another roofer come spray water on the chimney, nothing, no leak. Then sprayed water on the cricket, water came in. Exterior Medics would not admit any fault. Had it repaired, no leak, no problem since then. Had recommended to a friend, never gain, he also had a bad experience. DO NOT USE IF YOU WANT QUALITY WORK AND A COMPANY HAT STANDS BEHIND THEIR WORK."

"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."

"I'm thrilled to share my experience with Paramount Builders! They went above and beyond to restore my parents' home with new siding and gutters after they had been taken advantage of by another contractor. Not only did Paramount Builders deliver exceptional quality workmanship, but they did it with compassion and integrity, covering the cost entirely. The new siding and gutters have transformed the appearance of the house, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Their dedication to customer satisfaction and commitment to making things right truly sets them apart. We are incredibly grateful for Paramount's professionalism, expertise, and genuine care. Paramount came to the rescue for us and truly exceeded all expectations! I highly recommend Paramount Builders to anyone seeking quality work and integrity!"

"STAY AWAY!!!! This Company cancelled the initial estimate on me 3 times making me drive 90 minutes to the property each time. They finally showed and gave me the typical hard sell "if you sign the contract today..." They gave us a quote so far over market value we should have walked away. But we agreed because of the "70 year history in the industry" We thought we were buying a service from a company with integrity. They took an immediate $18K deposit on a $55K project. I know, shame on me for agreeing to such an amount. We knew we were over spending, but... One month later, they simply cancelled the contract without explanation and without any work on the project. This contract was binding on us but, in their words, was not binding on them because "there's a clause in the fine print that allows them to cancel" THEY STILL HAVE OUR MONEY and I STILL NEED A ROOF Stay away from this company. No integrity No responsibility Unreliable Over priced Will take your money and keep it"

Consider your budget, desired appearance, and durability needs. Wood, clay, or slate shingles make a striking impression for great curb appeal. Metal or composite shingles offer exceptional durability in humid climates. If you're looking for a cost-effective option that balances performance and affordability, asphalt shingles are a popular choice.
Professional roofers can install a straightforward asphalt shingle roof in one to three days. Complex designs or steep roofs may take up to a week, especially when using specialized materials that require extra care.
While it's possible to install new shingles over an existing layer, most building codes limit this to two layers of shingles. Overlaying shingles doesn't offer the same protection as a full replacement and may affect warranties and appearance. A complete removal is recommended for the best results.
The lifespan of a shingle roof depends on the material and environment. Asphalt shingles typically last around 20 years. Composite, vinyl, and wood shingles can last up to 50 years. Durable materials like clay and metal may last 80 years with proper maintenance, and slate roofs can endure for up to 100 years.
