"ROOFTOP DESIGN IS A HORRIBLE SCAM I would be remiss not to take the time to warn others. ROOFTOP DESIGN came as a third option for roofing. However, the initial representative ED form ROOFTOP DESIGN was very professional and thorough. The problem is, he represented a bunch of shysters. Ed’s first quote to was $35,000. After approximately three days of conversation and negotiations we were at $17,000.00 for the exact same product that they tried to sale for $35,000. Salesmen Ed was no-longer reaching out to me. Someone by the name of John called me and asked, what is it that they can do to make this deal happen. We settled at $16,500.00. Once again, $16,500 for everything discussed for the original $35,000 including a 50-year warranty that is transferable to a buyer as a good selling point. I learned through John that they fired Ed for giving customers too good of deals. I also learned through John that this company has a starting bidding price and a bottom bidding price. Ed would give the bottom price too quickly. So, they fired him. (Although John’s price was better than Ed’s). Once the job started, I received a text from the owner Yanni Avramidis. He stated that there was a third layer of roofing. He also stated that it would not be a problem and that it would take a little longer. IF THERE WAS GOING TO BE ANY ADDITIONAL CHARGES, NOW WOULD BE THE TIME TO MENTION IT. Approximately two days after the completion of the job. I had a contractor over named B. B. was there to replace the soffit beneath the location where the new roof was installed. This is when I learned and saw with my own two eyes that there was rotted or no plywood at all supporting my brand-new shingles. Mind you: per our contract, there will be an extra charge for plywood beyond the first ten free sheets. This company put my expensive shingles on top of rotted wood or no wood at all. I must admit, I was upset. However, I was cool calm and collected when I reached out to the owner Yanni Avramidis. I sent him the pictures of my findings. His explanation was that I had a 50-year warranty. My point to the owner was, if I wasn’t trying to replace my soffit it might have been months or years before this was discovered. I also said, what about the elderly man or woman that doesn’t have the ambition to check your work??? The owner of ROOFTOP DESIGN became very irate. He said, “I am from Baltimore, haven’t you heard about people from Baltimore. I will beat your a**. You are going to pay me an additional $2,800.00 for the third layer of roofing and planks/ plywood.” Since I have yet to see any new plywood, I am being charged $3,000.00 per layer of roofing to be removed. I received paperwork from ROOFTOP DESIGN, the paperwork stated that my warranty was only good for as long as I owned the property. Non-transferable: Of course, I didn’t sign it. My point is, there are people being taken advantage of everyday by bullies like ROOFTOP DESIGN."

"American Home Contractors and Hugo in particular were great to work with. We had multiple jobs done which required several trips and Hugo kept us informed and worked around several weather delays. He relocated and installed a new attic fan, hooked up the bathroom fan to a new roof vent, insulated a pipe in the attic, installed apron flashing on four windows, painted the flue vent, reconnected some lose siding and replaced three pieces of rotted trim and painted it. The work appears to be top notch and we appreciate the hard work and long hours Hugo put in! I would definitely recommend this company and most certainly Hugo to everyone. We also had American Home Contractors replace our gutters and install gutter guards. They did an excellent job with that as well."

Door services FAQs

It’s usually better to repair damaged interior doors and replace damaged exterior doors, but it depends on the type and extent of the damage. Damage to interior doors won’t threaten your home’s security, so if a repair or partial replacement of only the door (not replacing the door frame) is possible, that route should save you some money. Damage to an exterior door can compromise your home’s security, so it’s often better to replace it entirely, especially if there’s frame damage. You can ask your door installer which course of action is best for your situation.

The average cost to install a door is around $1,100, but you could pay anywhere from $150 for a hollow-core interior door installation up to $2,000 or a high-end exterior door installation. There are a few cost factors to consider to get an accurate price, including whether your wall opening exists, the type of door, the quality and security of the door, whether you need to replace the frame, and the door size. You can expect to pay $150 to $700 for a standard 36-by-80-inch door and between $400 and $1,600 for an 80-by-48-inch door.

If you’re replacing an interior door, it’s best to get the work done in the summer or winter, as door installation professionals are the least busy during these seasons and might charge lower labor costs based on the decreased demand. You can also potentially save money by hiring a professional to install your exterior door during these seasons, but most homeowners wait until the spring or fall so that the extreme temperatures don’t put added strain on their HVAC systems while the door is being added or replaced.

Door installation usually takes three and four hours, including removing the old door and frame, fitting the new door and frame in place, shimming it to make sure it’s perfectly level, and making adjustments to the hinges and locking mechanisms to ensure proper functionality. A door-hanging professional can replace an interior door in between one and two hours. Door installation will take significantly longer if your installer needs to create a wall opening, and it can take less time if the existing door frame remains.

It’s possible to install a door yourself if the wall opening already exists, but the work is rather complicated, and a professional installation is usually well worth the investment. For your door to work and close properly, you’ll need to shim and level the door frame in your wall perfectly, which can be difficult. Additionally, we recommend you always hire a professional door installer to place an exterior door, as mistakes during the installation process can lead to poor security for your home.
