Capitol Improvements

Capitol improvements I can appreciate people that take pride in their jobs. Patrick, the Roof Guy hands down the best in business. Pat is the most down to earth person I’ve met great conversations. Just his knowledge alone, and how he explain in detail the process and materials you need to have a perfect leak proof roof. After Pat explained everything in detail he took time to go out and visually show you different of roof installments and right vs wrong. Once you see a bad roof for yourself there’s no unseeing them. Now when riding around I feel like a roof expert I can spot a bad roof just like that. If you are in need of a new roof or any type of roof repair contact Capitol Improvements I guarantee you will not be disappointed. When I pull in my neighborhood my roof looks beautiful. I can honestly say I have the best roof in my neighborhood. I can just see the value going up. Thanks Capitol Improvements.

Lance Jewell was Great and made Sure my wife and I got fair deal. We also had our Facade replaced that made our home look better. After getting estimates, Mr. Jewell gave us the confidence that the company would not just be able to do the Job but also within the time line. My Neighbors have noticed the difference and are looking to deal with Capitol Improvements. Highly Recommend.

In November 2020, I selected “Capitol Improvements” when I needed Siding work to repair my vinyl siding on one side of my 3-level end unit townhouse, after my neighbor’s fire melted my siding. Based on my experience working with “Capitol Improvements” I would highly recommend them to do any Vinyl siding work on your house. My house was an eye sore to the community. I selected “Capitol Improvements” from a list of 10 or more potential siding companies. After much research I narrowed, the list down to 5 companies. I asked each company the same questions, trying to get a feel for who I should select to do the work. I went back and forth with the companies, asking questions, researching the companies using BBB.org, requesting information in writing, and talking to the company representative in person. I selected “Capitol Improvements” because the owner “Pat”, took the time to talk to me, explaining what would be done to restore the house, better than before the house was damaged in the fire. My dad is a brick lawyer and I grew up around real construction tradesman – Game Recognizes Game. I could tell Pat knew his business of Vinyl Siding and he was an excellent communicator. A lot of the representatives from the other siding companies, seemed to get frustrated with me asking questions and requesting answers to be in writing. Getting the siding fixed correctly was very important to me, because of the cost involved to fix the house and ensuring the work would be done safely – I had a concern with the workers reaching the difficult parts of the 3-level townhouse. The Homeowner association would have to be satisfied with the look, material matching the other sides of the house and quality. I wanted a company that would be confident they could do the work and would stand by the work. I wanted a company that would help me fix the messed-up vinyl siding on my house. The owner Pat did a great deal of helping me, put my confidence in “Capital Improvements” to fix damaged vinyl siding of my home. “Capitol Improvements” got the materials, and started the work at the agreed upon time. I was very impressed with the workers who repaired my house siding. The workers worked so hard, that I was inspired to work harder for my boss. The house was completely finished in 5 days, and the workers cleaned up after their work was done. To this day I have no clue how the “Capitol Improvement” workers fixed the more dangerous higher parts of the 3-level townhouse. The vinyl siding on the 1 side completed by “Capitol Improvements”, is better than the vinyl siding on my entire house. The Homeowner association was satisfied and 5 of my neighbors commented me on how good the siding looked. I highly recommend “Capitol Improvements” to do your vinyl siding work. Rob, Bowie, Md

Went like clockwork. I met with Capitol Improvements twice before deciding to go with them as I'd met with other roofing companies as well. I decided to go with them based on their sales pitch but also because so many of my neighbors recommended them. I'm happy I went with them. They offer a great warranty and I love the new look of my house with the new roof. Would recommend them highly.

Everything went really well. The communication was great. The cost was on par with what I expected for other flat roofs in the area. I would definitely use them again.

We hired the to inspect our roof. They did a great job.

This is the second job we have had Capitol Improvement do for us. They were professional from start to finish. They offered the best price of all proposals we got. The crew was prompt and professional and explained things as they did the project. The got the entire job done in one day.

If you are like me, you’ve cut back on unnecessary spending lately. I love living in the DMV, but it sure isn’t cheap. When I discovered that I needed a new roof, I thought to myself that this is really bad timing. Still, my home is my biggest investment, and I know that it requires me to spend money from time to time. When it comes to my home, I want the best my money can buy: (1) top of the line materials (2) expert installation, (3) great customer service, and most importantly, (4) a reasonable price. That is why I I am so happy I found Capital Improvements. This company met every requirement. Working with Pat, the owner, was great. He came to my house and helped me make the right choices for my project. Pat took the time to really look at my home and help me decide what was right for me. There was no fast talk or “hard-sell” tactics. I was treated like a valued customer and not a $ sign with two legs. Everything Capital Improvements promised they delivered. They even put a new roof on my shed for free! I was so happy with them that when I decided to add gutter guards, I called them without hesitation. They did the same great job. I highly recommend this company.

We had Capitol Improvements install our new roof and we couldn't be happier with the results! Pat and his team were professional, timely, clean and courteous. The price was excellent, very fair, so much better than other estimates we received. We highly recommend them to anyone in need of exterior home improvements! Alan and Kathy B

We are so pleased! This is the first time we used Angie's List which in itself started the ease of hiring a contractor. After receiving visits and quotes from three companies, we opted to hire Capitol Improvements and found what a small world we live in. Come to find out, we know the owner, but not what line of work he is in. We hired them, not because of knowing the owner, but because we felt most comfortable with the work to be accomplished and the pricing. The crews did an excellent job and worked so hard. We appreciate all that was done and would not hesitate to hire Capitol Improvements again if the need arises.

"I had no experience with replacing a roof. Pat Jewel answered all of my questions with the expertise of a professional with 27 years of experience. He prepared a written proposal, complete with photographs of the proposed finished product. He knew exactly what my HOA required. All I had to do was press a forward button on my computer. Throughout the project my phone calls were always responded to in a prompt and courteous manner. On the day of the project the crew was timely, professional, and hard-working. If you want a project completed by someone who puts the interests of their clients first, Capitol is the company.

The entire process went smoothly. The initial consultation/estimate was professional and efficient. I was given a clear explanation of what was needed with more detail and time spent answering questions than provided by the other companies that gave estimates. The installation occurred on the day that was planned, and was not loud or disruptive.

We have had both our roof and siding done by Capitol Improvements and we cannot be happier with the finished product. From the consultation to the end reveal, the professionalism and knowledge is unmatched. Pat & Austin treat you like family and their pricing cannot be beat. Save yourself the time comparing pricing with different companies because the end result will always be the same - they are the best price for the best product. We now take such pride in our home with it's new facelift! Thank you, Capitol Improvements!

High quality work, great professionalism, great price!

The entire process was painless, professional and courteous. There were no unexpected surprises as with other companies. Pat and crew come highly recommended. What a blessing to be able to trust a contractor at his word!

Had entire roof repaired due to storm. Despite the several weeks of rain Capitol Improvements (Pat) worked vigorously to ensure repair was done. Attached pictures provides before and after repairs. Thanks!

Knowledgeable, communicated in professional and patient manner. Response with my follow up questions. Financing was available through one of their affiliates who were also easy to work with. I have already referred them to a couple of friends. How refreshing when such a large home expense comes up!

We were ultimately very happy we chose to go with pat and his team at Capitol Improvements! While Mitch doesn't typically lead sales on their roofing products, he worked with us and was excellent. Very informed, patient, and honest. We had quite a few questions about the quote, and Austin (Pat, the owner's, son) was very helpful and thorough in addressing all our questions. The final price was very reasonable and easily beat competitors' quotes. The actual roofing work was quite fast. Immediately after the roof, I was not happy with the amount of waste left around our house, and their were a few other quality concerns with shingles and siding. However, I wound up having quite a few discussions and in-person meetings with Pat, the owner, and was ultimately quite pleased. Pat was extremely responsive, helpful, and reassuring. He ensured that all my concerns were addressed and he made commitments about guaranteed service going forward. While I initially had some frustrations and concerns, I found Pat and the team very easy to work with and would certainly hire them again and recommend them!

Excellent! Spoke with Austin 12/27/17 and was able to schedule an assessment 12/29/17, I was told who and what to expect. Jovall called the morning of to confirm. He was friendly and very professional. Great communication skills - I was shown pictures of the damage and discussed options to help me make the decision of repair as an immediate safety precaution. I appreciated knowing that if I decide on replacing the roof I would be credited the amount of the repair. Being right after the holiday I was glad to get an appointment so soon.

Mr. Jewell was prompt, professional, and informative when I met him for an estimate. The price was also very good. He went out of his way to answer all my questions and even found me someone to do a couple of other repairs I needed that fell outside the scope of his company. The workers were fast and accurate, and cleaned up after themselves meticulously. When I politely pointed out they had forgotten to remove a rooftop antenna that was part of the job, they immediately went to work on that without fuss or complaint. The job was completed within one day as promised. The roof looks lovely, and matches my shutters perfectly.

We hired Capitol Improvements to install a new roof and gutters on our house. The price was significantly less than the major companies (the cost of roof and gutters was less than what just a roof would be at other companies) and I was so pleased with Mitch's care level for what we needed. We had figured it would be about a month before our roof was installed, and then gutters many weeks after, but we had both done in about 2 weeks after signing the contract. They were able to do our roofing in one day and our gutters another day--didn't need us to be home. Mitch explained pricing and what we were getting, didn't hard sell, and was able to meet us at convenient times of the day. Any additional projects I need in the future, I am definitely calling this company!

The whole experience was straightforward and virtually stress-free. Mitch made the process much easier than I had expected. Thank you so much!

Great! A small 1938 bungalow with cracked asbestos shingle and no tyvek, we really wanted new siding and gutters to replace the old stuff and weatherproof the place better. Austin & Pat did a great job with the virtual remodel options and photographs. Pat is a very knowledgeable guy to talk with and loves showing off the other projects they have going to help you see things in a real-time setting. Really helped my partner and I feel comfortable with colors and material choices before they began work. They have great financing options available, too, which we took advantage of since the work was a big job but needed doing sooner rather than later. The siding crew started quickly after we made our material choices (wide slate blue hardieplank with a cantilever addition and porch awning in wide cedar-color vinyl shake) and with 7 guys or so had the old siding stripped, the home rewrapped and resided in 2 days. It was amazingly fast, and I watched them a few times... they really took care and detailed attention with the work. Superb crew. Hung my new porch lights, house numbers, and tried to mitigate some of the power line appearance on the side of the home. They asked questions to make sure I was satisfied while I was there, and they just had great craftsmanship and work ethic. The second crew for the painting (foundation, bay window roof, and porch steps) was likewise quick and professional. I missed the visit, but the work is solid. Even came out for a second coat when I mentioned the steps weren't quite opaque, since covering a bright red is difficult. Third crew for the gutters were the least reliable of the bunch. They came out and did the gutters/covers in one day, but seemed rushed and made some oversights I had to point out to them with alignment/finishing. They took care of it, but simply by comparison to the amazingly competent siding crew, these guys seemed a little frazzled. Glad I was on site that day. When there was a leak a few weeks later, they came right out to fix that spot. The gutters now work flawlessly and look great. Pat was responsive and helpful through the entire process, and I'm really glad I hired these folks. When we need a new roof in 5 years or so, I'll definitely come back to them.

Excellent work, excellent customer service. Would highly recommend this company.

Showed up on time. Good job.
