 + 4 moreBusiness practice and my experience: Omg where to start. Bottomline up front, Honest and Integrity! These values are rare nowadays, but their business is an exemplary example of such values. Ok first, I do not spend time writing a review unless the company is worth it. Mid-Atlantic Gutters and Exteriors (MAGE) is SUPERB. When I called, I worked with Susie who is very sweet and responsive with scheduling, and then worked with her husband, John. He was very attentive, cooperative and definitely not pushy. He provided enough information, but not overwhelming and always he asked if I was confused about anything. He inspected the roof thoroughly during the hot August and provided a estimate with a little leg room for unexpected events that he couldn't see at the time of inspection. The leg room is justified. For example, I had a large soft area around my skylights and he thought he will need more plywood. He provided a detail quote and stating the number of plywood. I was present during the roof replacement and when completed, I was only charged for the plywood that actually was needed. MAGE had good business practice by not charging me what I didn't need. Also, before I picked out my roof option, John provided a breakdown on each different option. There were two breakdowns that I wanted and John provided it. At the completion, MAGE would re-evaluate the estimate and honestly provide the remaining balance. Price comparison: I had two different roofer estimates which I don't think I can release company's name over Angie, but these other roofers were also highly ranked on Angies. If you want my opinions/experience about the roofers in my area Harford County MD, then please feel free to email at
[email protected] or message me on Angies. I will do the best I can to help you too. IMO, MAGE was the most economical with the best reputable brand in the roof market. MAGE was not the cheapest quote by price. Cheapest quote provided the least reputable brand. My quote also included two new skylights, inserting additional bathroom roof vent, and window silicone sealing. My roof required 23 squares (sorry I forgot exact squares and didn't have the estimate in front of me as i'm writing this review. Quality of work and material: I chose Landmark Pro shingles and velux skylights. The quality of the material is very good so far. I had 4 heavy rains so far and no issues. All shingles laid correctly over the gutters. Clean up 100% with magnetic rollers. I had an issue with their work quality over my bay windows, so I called John and Susie while the workers were still at my home. Susie and John resolved my bay window roof issue immediately and it was made beautiful! So my bay windows roof had dwells. Their workers did not do a sloppy, but they just placed the bay window new roof shingles as it was before with dwells. After the workers talked with John and Susies, all dwells were corrected. Their workers were very friendly and cooperative, and efficient. My roof was completed in 1 day, 6am in the morning to 7pm. The windows silicone workmanship is professional, all 24 windows including second-story sealed beautifully. Suggested improvements: No improvement necessary for their honest practices and execution with such integrity and professional communication with me. As for prices, always cheaper would be nice, but to all the readers, please consider that MAGE is a business too and everyone has a livelihood to sustain. MAGE prices is very reasonable. As for provided services, I would suggest (again only a suggestion, maybe their a potential business market to tap into) that MAGE become MAGIE (Mid-atlantic gutters interiors and exteriors). So, I also wanted a full exhaust fan installation, but MAGE only performed exterior services. MAGE did provide the service of making the roof cut-out and installing the vent with awesome cap sealing practice (ice shield and shingles around vent cap). By myself, I installed the exhaust fan and venting to the roof vent cap. Overall: I am grateful that I found an honest, trust worthy, and dependable business with very reasonable prices. Kudos to Susie, John, their roofers, and the "window sealer guy". To Susie and John, please thank all your employees who were involved . To the readers: thank you for reading and I apologize for any grammatical mistakes or typos.
