Wood Shake or Composite Roofing Installation and Replacement
My wife and I went with them because they were professional, no salesy, and were quick on updates and responses. We had multiple quotes on synthetic cedar shake and ended up deciding to go with designer shingles and windows instead. Jan and Joe are a great team and I've sent them a few referrals already. Thank you, Mack

Jan was my project manager for roofing work on my house. He was most attentive to our needs and desires on this project, which appears to have turned out successfully. He was in regular communication with me from the outset to the end. He even worked on his own time to ensure that water damage was avoided pending completion of the job. Jan was and is a five star gentleman.

Locke and ladder replaced my roof with Brava. I am very happy with the result. It was a lot of work to find a contractor I was comfortable with. With the amount of detail and consideration that Locke and Ladder put into this project. I wouldnt recommend any other contractor. My roof is beautiful!

We engaged Locke and Ladder after our insurance carrier required repairs to our roof. Adam and his team were great to work with and very professional. They took the time to do a thorough examination of our roof, and provided clear and transparent explanations of the work needed and repairs done. Their work was done on time and as promised and I was always updated along the way. Their proposals and final inspection reports were also very clear, transparent and professional and satisfied our insurance carriers requirement. We are pleased with their work and would 100% recommend. We hope to engage Locke and Ladder again when the time comes to replace our entire roof.

I had a few companies come for a quote. 2 of the companies stole 5 hours of my life and started out with ridiculous prices and put high pressure for me to take out a 14% loan without thinking about it. Locke and Ladder sent Jan a military man to give me a quote. He asked me a ton of questions of my knowledge and instead of showing me the damages that I already knew he showed me color theory and upgrade options. He left and came back with the estimate which was a fair price so I went with them. Jan was not just my salesman but the project manager at both days of the project. He kept his promises and over delivered. My husband and I are also thinking about a new front door with L&L.

Locke & Ladder did a great job putting up vinyl siding on my house. The place looks awesome now and the work was done right. The crew showed up on time, were super friendly, and kept things cleaned up as they went. Communication was easy and I always knew what was going on. The price was fair and I feel like I got really good value. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone looking to get siding done!

I couldn?t be happier with the experience I had working with L&L on my new roof. From start to finish, the entire process was handled with professionalism and attention to detail. The team came out promptly to provide an estimate, and everything was explained clearly?no hidden fees, no pressure, just honest information. They helped me understand my options and recommended the best solution for my home. Once the project started, the crew worked efficiently and respectfully. They showed up on time each day, worked hard, and kept the area around my house neat and clean. I was impressed with how organized everything was, and they even finished ahead of schedule! The finished roof looks absolutely fantastic. Not only does it enhance the curb appeal of my home, but I also feel confident knowing it was done right with high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship. Even my neighbors have commented!

We recently had our roof and siding replaced, and the experience with Lock & Ladder was excellent from start to finish. The team was professional, detail-oriented, and very respectful of our property—something we especially appreciated given the scale of the project. Their crew worked efficiently without cutting corners, and the craftsmanship really shows in the finished product. Communication was clear throughout the process, and any questions we had were addressed promptly. While quality work can take time, they stayed on schedule and left the site tidy every day. In a neighborhood where high standards are the norm, Lock & Ladder delivered exactly the kind of quality and service we were hoping for. I would gladly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable roofing or siding work.

We had our house in Indianhead Park re-done with new siding, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. The crew was professional, on time, and respectful of our home, keeping the worksite neat every day. The transformation is incredible—our house looks brand new, and the quality of the materials and craftsmanship really shows. Neighbors have already stopped to compliment it! Communication was clear throughout, and they made sure we were completely happy. Highly recommend this company for anyone considering new siding—you’ll be glad you chose them.

Locke & Ladder was top notch. My wife and I couldn’t be happier with our experience. From the initial walk through to the final installation the team was professional, knowledgeable, and timely. They were upfront on lead time for material and schedule duration. The install crew was friendly, efficient, and respectful of our space. Everything was spotless when they left. The quality of the windows is great and look beautiful. It’s rare to find a company that delivers exactly what they promise. This team did that and more. I will definitely be utilizing Locke & Ladder for future projects.
