I requested quotes and met with a number of companies. By far, I enjoyed meeting with John. He was informative and thorough at our meeting. Given the information provided, and our own research, I also felt as though our values matched up nicely. So much so, that we planned on using EDI services, given the quote was reasonable. However, we were never given our quote. We were strung along by a series of emails, and then received no more responses. I have tried many times to reach out for the quote, and after that, to inquire as to what happened. Again, no response at all. Now, after waiting so long, we have to start the entire process over again, and as it is October, we essentially have no hope of getting a new roof this season. I really hope our current last through the winter. This is entire unprofessional behavior, and I grow so weary of companies that make promises and do not fulfil them. We should at the very least be treated with enough respect to be given an explanation as to why they cannot or will not perform the work.

This is my second time having the pleasure to hire John and the service and experience I received the second time around was the same as the first time; excellent and responsive. John does a great job with communicating during the whole process. And in conclusion, John's crews are professional, on time and clean up after their work.

I have had the pleasure of working with John Gallagher, owner, of Exterior Designers, Inc. (EDI) several time over the past twenty years. I first met John as a young new homeowner. We needed a roof and also were in the market to replace the outdated aluminum siding. I always begin a job with at least three estimates, and we were working within a budget. EDI was not the least expensive but was the only company whose owner (John) came out and explained what was needed and what was not. While the other estimates were eager to make the most of our service call, John suggested getting a layer placed over the original roof at a less expensive cost to us. He also advised it would probably last about seven to ten years. Additionally, while other contractors tried selling us high end siding (cedar), John explained that while cedar would look nice, it comes with a lot of maintenance and in reality, the neighborhood tended towards vinyl. Again, he could have talked us into a more expensive choice, especially since my taste and budget is not always in sync, however, he did not. He steered us towards the more economical choice. Our layover roof lasted 19 years without even one leak! That’s great craftmanship. And my siding looks as new as it did when we first had it applied. This summer when I decided to replace the roof in its entirety, I called upon John to do the job. Again, he came out and explained all the options. He does not attempt to sell the best product as many contractors do. Rather, he listened to what I wanted and steered me towards a mid-range quality roof with the architectural shingles I desired, while working within my budget. I highly recommend EDI as they are an honest, trustworthy business who provides quality work. I give them an A+. Thanks, John Gallagher, for another wonderful home improvement experience!!!

Installation went very well and the installer Witek was prompt, courteous, and paid attention to any issue that arose in a professional manner. The area was cleaned up every day at the end of the shift. John the owner visited twice during the week to check on progress and follow up with any questions that may have arisen..

John Gallagher/EDI is the REAL DEAL. John knows his industry inside and out. I spent much time, researching contractors and products, and was fortunate enough to cross paths with a guy that my wife and I really connected with. He has a vast knowledge of products (in our case windows and siding) and enlightened us immensely. His sales approach is friendly, helpful, and competitive. The job started within 1-2 weeks of the scheduled start date (outstanding considering the above average amount of rain days this year) and finished up in about a week and a half. EVERY person that worked at our house was a craftsman: highly skilled, professional, friendly, and just great to have around. The finished result was amazing.

This review is coming pretty late, but John's work is outstanding. He is a little pricey but well worth it. My parents have used him for numerous repairs, etc. so I decided to try EDI out too. No regrets and super happy with the work done. Top notch! Will define use him for my next projects!

I interviewed them but decided not to go with them. I thought very highly of them. They were very good. He was very thorough, he explained all the options, he seemed to be very capable, he knew his materials and would've seemed to have done a good job with installation. I just decided not to go with him because I found someone who I felt was more experienced with my particular problems I have with my house.
