At Top Quality Contractors we are a family run business and my partner and I have over 50 years of combined service experience in the industry. We offer full roofing and siding replacements and do NOT OFFER REPAIRS. I personally have been in the business for over 30 years. When I am not providing Top Quality to our clients, I enjoy being outdoors, golfing, fishing and hanging out with my 4 kids. I graduated from Frostburg State University. Our home office is located in Laurel Maryland.

"Overall they did a very good job. Like most companies they have their preferred vinyl window that they use, but I knew I wanted Andersen 400 wood windows. As for the siding, I hadn't done much research on siding but Carl had a good option with full-back insulation. He did a good job of matching siding that I have on my sunroom (which was just a few years old). He was very responsive in returning my phone calls/emails,etc when I had questions. I had quotes from 4-5 other companies and his price was very competitive. I must admit, it made me a little nervous but it worked out..... I would have preferred a more detailed estimate though. Most other companies do estimates by email or they mail you a very detailed estimate. Carl did a hand written estimate on the spot ... again, not a big deal but there were a few things that I had to ask about (eg he didn't have housewrap on the estimate but did put that on...) One of the things I was concerned about was losing glass area with replacement windows. Carl and Tim assured me that I wouldn't lose any glass area, but , in reality, I did lose about one inch of glass space per window. That was a bit disappointing but I guess when you are doing replacement windows, that's what happens. Regarding installation/work itself: The window delivery came at 7am and took me by surprise.... When the crew showed up around 9am I mentioned it and apparently the delivery folks were supposed to give the crew a heads up so they could notify me but that didn't happen. It was a very cold, windy two days when they did the installation . They were very efficient and hard working. They discovered two large holes when they removed the old siding and patched them up with plywood before putting housewrap on. The window installation went well - although there are several areas where the window frame/wallpaper/wall are chipped - I guess that happens - in hindsight I probably should have gone with "full frame" replacement - although Carl should the frames were in good shape .... but I probably should have spent a nominal amount and done full frame replacement.... Problem areas: Crew left numerous nails around the property which I am still finding. I don't know if they used a magnet to try and find them. Even though they told me they would probably have to "trim" some azaleas bushes that I have outside the kitchen window they really butchered them which shocked me.... I can understand that they needed to access the area, but would have preferred that they warned me about that before they did it.... It definitely was not a "trim" ..... The caulking on the interior seems to me to be too wide of a bead. I had Kenny (foreman) come out but he said that's how it should be.... I was comparing it to my sunroom and to my neighbor's house, where the caulking bead was much thinner..... I may redo it myself, or see how it looks once I've painted the trim.... Overall, I would give them a 4.5 out of 5 .... not perfect but pretty close. I can't comment about any warranty work (both are supposedly lifetime..) ."

Was a small issue with a couple of the new downspouts and the owner Jason personally came out and completely resolved the situation without any fuss. Would highly recommend Evans Quality Roofing."

"It couldn't have gone better. Mr. Taylor contacted me, as soon as I submitted my job request. We agreed on a date and time. Mr. Taylor arrived on time and explained what would be involved in installing the recessed lighting. What a fantastic job!! I decided to include my kitchen at the last minute and Mr. Taylor agreed, even though it required him to make a special trip to Home Depot. I could not be happier with the job. I would recommend recessed lighting (Love, Love, Love these lights) and Mr. Taylor any time. He will be my go to electrical guy from now on."

"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."

ARCH Exteriors LLC provides a wide variety of Roofing, Window, Door and Siding services in Maryland and Virginia. We are family owned and operated and dedicated to providing the highest quality products and services to ensure your complete satisfaction. We are certified with all major roofing and siding manufactures. We offer excellent warranties on both material and workmanship. Give us a call to speak with one of our experts to discuss your next exterior project. Financing available.

"We purchased a new front door and storm door from Arch Exteriors. The Sales person and the quality of the door were good. Our issue was with the service department and the installation crew. The installation crew/manager did a sub-standard job for installation. The door itself was not set in level, there was an obvious gab and then the lock was damaged when they tried to install it. They cut too far back on the inside tile floor and tried to hide it with pieces of shoe molding. The seal at the bottom of the door began to fall off within the first month. We had to fight with the service manager, Byron, to get anything fixed or to show up for appointments he made with us. The service manager, Byron, did not appear to have trained his crew on how to install a door. Our storm door was initially installed with no safety chain, so the first gust of wind tore the door off the hinges and half of the trim off the door frame. But Byron said since it was the wind, nothing can be done. I pointed out the door lacked some pieces to prevent this. When I pay someone to do work, my expectation is that it will be done better than what I could have done. This was not our experience at all. I can not give a good review due to the service/installation department. Gary Hudak"

FAQs for roofing installation & roof repair projects in Taneytown, 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.
