Very well. There is always the question of whether to use plywood or OSB. I spoke with several roofers and their opinions were pretty much split considering the additional price for plywood. I decided to go with OSB, which was cheaper and was recommended by Mid City.
Description of Work: Mid City installed a roof on my 2-story residence in December 2011. It involved a tear off. His price was about $1000 lower than the second estimate. The job went smooth and all debris was cleaned up. The price was $15,000 but an additional problem with rotted fascia board on the right side of the house turned up during the installation. I elected to have the fascia replaced along with the gutters on that side (an additional $1000). I am happy with results. Over the last 8 years Leary from Mid City has performed additional work to my home (approximately $18,000), which included house siding, windows, garage roof and garage siding. Again his price was always the lowest and I was satisfied with his work.

The vinyl siding and aluminum trim on my home was installed unprofessionally and sloppily. The siding manufacturer company representative inspected the job, and issued a report sighting many installation errors, and stated that not even the minimum installation guidelines had been followed. Many issues have been occurring, including window trim separating, and some buckling of the siding. I was advised that my entire house must be stripped of the vinyl siding and aluminum trim. This statement has been backed up by a Town of Tonawanda, Code Enforcement Officer, the inspector from the Certainteed Corporation who did an on site inspection, and by two reputable vinyl siding installation company representatives. Larry Paige, owner of Mid City Home improvements, has admitted to me and a Town of Tonawanda, Code Enforcement Officer, that he and his company do not have a certification to install vinyl siding. I have many photographs that show the horrible job that was done to my home. I have hired an attorney to help me with this 18 month nightmare. Larry Paige, owner of Mid City Home Improvements is a first cousin of mine.
Description of Work: New vinyl siding, aluminum trim, and some new windows were installed on my home.

after i signed the contract, larry (the owner) told me that the work would be done in approx. 4 days. because of the rotten wood discovered after the tearoff, the work required an additional day. the roof was completed on time and the entire property was cleaned of all debris. when the work was started, i watched the work for approx. one hour. i was impressed with the professional nature of all the employees on the work site. they did not know that i was the owner, as i watched from across the street. it was an excellent job and i am very satisfied with the company. in fact, i am going to get another estimate for another property that i own,from Mid City Home Improvement, a very professional and capable company.
Description of Work: this was complete tearoff, regular asphalt shingles and cedar shingles. put on osb sheets over entire roof. architectural shingles. replaced the yankee gutters. the company advised me, upon tearing off the last side of the roof, that there was a lot of rotten wood. rafter tails were rotten along the entire one side of the roof. i was grateful that the company advised me of this problem, that could not have been discovered until after the tearoff. an estimate was given for the extra work and accepted. the company did an excellent and professional job. all the workers had a very positive attitude. as a side note, this property was on the west side, and it was a two story, with the first floor three feet above grade

MidCity did a good job. I am very happy with the owner, but the crew they sent to do the job were having a lot of personal issues with each other. A better crew could have done a better job.
Description of Work: Midcity Builders replaced the roof on my home. They did a great job.
