We wanted to express our tremendous gratitude and appreciation for the way Shawn managed the progress (and expansion) of the work to repair the roof damage, replace the siding and address the water damage issues uncovered. The thoughtful assessment/decision making and expert execution resulted in a high quality product which we are thrilled with. Only time will tell if all this effort, expense & improvements will finally put an end to our ice dam & water penetration issues.
Shawn and his extended team of carpenters, roofers, siders and painters have all been top quality professionals and have been a pleasure to work with. They take great pride in their work and were careful to minimize damage to landscaping and lawn. Their "can do" attitude, commitment, work ethic and attention to detail are very impressive and often difficult to find in the area.
Highly recommend for both roofing and exterior restoration.
The owner's name is Shawn Magee and the head carpenter is Marcelo. These guys and their crew are simply excellent at what they do. Not only do they have a roofing business, they also do have a restoration business, Magee Restoration where they basically can fix any exterior part of a home and specialize in that.
About 3 weeks ago I received a door knob-hanging flyer at my home and it said some friendly stuff about "noticing my roof was in need of some repairs". This was a nice touch because we bought our home only 8 months prior knowing the roof needed to be replaced and I appreciated seeing the presentation of the flyer being something other than the average photocopy/inkjet printer of a letter a contractor typed on his home computer.
I called the number at about 5pm on a Friday evening and Shawn answered and said he would stop by in ten minutes if I were interested because he was close by. Within 15 minutes of meeting Shawn I knew he was the type of guy I wanted to hire so I was curious to see his estimate on the job. Shawn talked about what they do and then asked if he could go on the roof to take measurements. Afterwards he gave me a verbal quote of what he was thinking it would cost and showed me a bunch of photos on his iPad from many of their projects. They worked on some serious restorations of roofs, siding replacements, decks restorations, portico's, and exterior trim, windows, and doors on some very large expensive homes. He then wrote me a formal quote and left me with a nice folder including the estimate, about 40 references, and details on the materials they used.
One thing they do a little different is they have an option to remove the gutters and bring the Ice Shield down a couple inches to sit over top of the fascia boards to help prevent a common problem area for roofs when ice dams form. I liked that a lot and it gave me the opportunity to have my gutters rehung since I know that was needed too for proper drainage.
I did get one other quote from a contractor who came recommended by a neighbor but he took two and a half weeks to get me a written quote, and he was almost $2,000 more expensive. I actually scheduled my work with Shawn before receiving that quote since I felt so confident about the job they would do and knowing the price was in the ballpark I was estimating.
The day they started my job it rained a bit so rather than completely cancel they managed to work on the roof of a screened-in porch area since we learned it was in need of some serious repairs from the winter. It was seriously water-damaged and there was a lot of mold. Even the rafters has bowed from the weight of the snow this year (2015). His carpenter Marcelo is one of those guys you know are an absolute passionate tradesman and perfectionist. Two qualities I definitely want when someone is working on my home.
It took 3 guys a few hours and they had the entire roof ripped off the porch, including the rafters, rebuilt it and had it ready for ice shield and shingles. I was amazed at how quickly but yet systematic and meticulously they worked together. The following day they showed up with a crew of about 7 guys, including Marcelo and they quickly worked to replace my entire roof with zero breaks. It was very impressive. Unfortunately many areas of my roof ended up being in very bad condition as well as my fascia boards. But I knew I was in good hands. Shawn updated me along the way on how the cost would increase for each thing found but in the end I felt it was very fairly priced. I ended up spending $3,700 more than estimated but the repairs were necessary. The porch area along was a complete roof rebuild job.
Again they worked till almost sundown and in one day my roof was basically complete. Marcelo even came back the following morning to wrap up a couple items and replace a bunch of cedar siding shingles that were rotted out since they had the material and again, the guy is a perfectionist.
You get what you pay for but no one wants to be taken advantage of. I completely felt confident in the entire process and the pricing. The next day a neighbor drove by, who I didn?t know, rolled down their window and said, ?Your roof looks awesome! You must be really happy!? And I am.
