Came in on time and always keeps us updated on to what was done so far. Over all they did excellent job and way satisfied

They were a few minutes earlier than anticipated as they were trying to complete the job before inclement weather set in. Howard, Jason & Cory were friendly & worked quickly and efficiently to get the job done. They cleaned up inside & out before leaving. Great crew!

Every aspect of the process from the sale to the installation was smooth and top notch.

Paul and Julia. a two-person installation team were awesome. Clean, quick, professional, and punctual. Paul is a real craftsman. He went the extra mile to re-use some wood trim from the old windows to make the new ones blend in to the rest of the house.

Crew was prompt and fast. Explained what they were doing and waited for me info.

The crew arrived on time, got straight to work. They were very professional and did a great job. Outstanding contractor.

The crew was fantastic, super friendly. Got the job done in a timely manner.

The installation went very well. The workers were professional and cleaned up after themselves. We have had problems locking all the double hung windows. They have replaced half of the new windows yet we still are not able to lock the windows.

They were supposed to replace any of the wood that was rotten or soft, and all they did was cover it. They didn't replace it. My screens don't fit now. I thought the price was reasonable for what they were going to do, but for what they did do it was excessive.

The gutter installation was on time. They did a great job. Howard, Cory & Jason arrive on time. They said it would not take long & it didn't. They were hard working and friendly.

The crew was on time and worked hard all day. A great job.

As soon as the material arrived work was soon underway. The workers on site did an exceptional job.

Howard & Jason were on time. Installed products. Kept me informed all thru the process.

xThe installation team was on time. Reviewed work process with me & were very professional & courteous. Overall, work was exceptional. All work areas were cleaned and work reviewed with me. I would use them again and highly recommend their services.

Outstanding from point of sale throughout the process. Installation Team as well as sales rep were outstanding- Installer kept me informed and involved & was very professional

Paul, Julie and Don were professional and respectful to me and my property. They all have indefinite, extensive knowledge of window and trim installation! I would recommend this team to anyone and I will use them for any repairs in the future!

Paul and Julia were prompt and were ready to work. They made the removal, installation and cleanup seem so easy. We are very please with their work and our new doors.

Everyone from sales people to installers were professional and courteous. Job was finished much faster that we anticipated and looks amazing. Can't beat their lifetime warranty on all their products either!

Paramount came by today again saying they would give me everything at cost, the conversation did not go so well and he never bothered to give me a lower quote. I also got a second quote from another GAF Master Elite Installer and I must say that Paramount’s quote is absurd to say the least. The second quote is about 1/3 of what Paramount’s was including everything they do; I can replace my roof 3 times still not spend what these guys quoted me. Now a new roof adds value and although will not be 100% return on investment it can make it much easier to sell. Paramount acts like it’s their roof that adds the value, this is just incorrect. A new roof is where the value is and not just theirs, simple as that. They also like to boast that they are the only ones that install these roofs, not true again. There are 7 businesses within 20 miles of my location all with the GAF Master Elite Installer certification. They also said that an estimated 13,000 of new roofs today is spent in materials alone, another sales pitch that is not true. GAF Camelot shingles for 30 squares (10ft x 10ft) will run about $5500 and the Timberline HD series will run you just over half that price. The Ridge vent sells for less than $100 to cover 40 ft and the underlayment will run about $300. All the miscellaneous items, depending on the house, would have a conservative cost of $1500 on top of the shingles to include the permit for the project. We also must consider that businesses buy material in bulk so they don’t normally pay retail like at Lowes and Home Depot. According this article, [*** Link removed ***] labor should between $100 and $150 per square to remove a single layer of old shingles and between $120 and $400 per square to install. On the high side labor for a 30 square roof would run no more than $12K. So with this in mind, my roof should run no more than $19k + an amount for profit. With Paramount’s $34.5k bill for a roof they would have easily made a profit of $15K off the job, also consider that they added a 25% discount(about $11000) on this price and free gutters which cost no more than $2k. This sight has a cost calculator, [*** Link removed ***] estimates that a roof of 30 Squares, a 12/12 pitch, a difficulty of medium, and 50 year shingles should range from $16k to $25k in the mid-Atlantic area which is what I would expect for material costs, labor costs, and a profit. So once again I say buyer beware, don’t use these guys unless you have money to burn.

I was in the market for a new roof, I did several hours of research on the net prior to the pitch. I was interested in the GAF roofing system with architectural shingles. They did a great job on the pitch, was very impressed with the level of detail they made. All was real good until they gave me the price. Their main office had told me that I would get a 25% discount and seamless gutters in the deal because they failed to give me an estimate the last time they came by. The price was 34k and change which would put the job in the range of 45k+. The internet places the price range of about 7500 to 17500 for my size house with a footprint of 2k SQ FT and a 9/12 pitch roof. The sales person had skewed these numbers by over 100% that prices for homes in my area for this size home low are at 18k to 34k. I cannot find any documentation whatsoever to support this amount. I already had two estimates before they even showed up, one for 8k with gutters and 10k with gutters, they were playing baseball in Yankee stadium when the game was football in Candlestick park( I know). They try to use the 50 year warranty to sell the product except its GAF that warranties the product and not Paramount. If you do the research, you will find that its the install that is important which in this case is Paramount, there price says it all. They also pitch the master elite installer, they are not the only ones in the area and with the reviews here on Angie's list, they are about a quarter of the price of Paramount. I have an estimate coming tomorrow with them, we shall see how it goes. This company preys on the ignorance of people, buyer beware.
