MHI Roofing

We set up an appointment. They didn’t show. 2 days later they showed up without letting us know. We’ve been calling them the last 10 days, no response. We requested a refund of the deal.

The price and quality of work was great! I was amazed on how quickly the job was completed. I would definetly recommend Meredith to anybody.

Very well. I was very pleased with Meredith's work. The gentlemen who arrived (2), Keith and Lathan, were very kind and didn't seem to mind that I watched them as they work (I am very anal when it comes to this). They were in and out quick and did not try to upsell all kinds of extra services. They did offer gutter guards and explained the benefits but I opted not to install them, and they did not press beyond that. My only knock was that the contractor was scheduled to come out on Thursday, 10/18/12, but ran out of time that day and came promptly as rescheduled on 10/22/12. The owner called me the same day 10/18/12 to advise me they would not be able to be out and I was able to finish my work day instead of leaving early so that was good. Then, he called me yesterday to confirm the work needed to be done. I would recommend Meredith Home Improvements in the future and will look for future deals with them.

Overall it did not go well for me.

Meredith Home Improvements ultimately received an excellent grade from us due to their quick and efficient work, as well as best competitive price around. Of all the estimates requested, Ty was definitely the quickest to respond, making time in his busy schedule to ensure he got a quote out to me as quickly as possible. In addition to following up with me over the phone, emailing me an electronic version of the quote was most helpful for my record keeping. With Meredith Home Improvements quoting the lowest price around (by a substantial amount too), I was curious about the quality of work and products. This concern was quickly laid to rest as Ty provided me with a very long list of references and addresses of recent siding jobs - and all within 1-2 miles too! It soon became quite clear from each house how Meredith Home Improvements won so many quotes. After deciding on Meredith, what may seem as an unfortunate event, we found out that our first choice in siding was not available/offered. Ty immediately notified us of the issue and worked with us to quickly make a decision, getting any and all samples requested over to us promptly. Ultimately, we are much happier with the final product. As for the work, Ty was able to fit us in quicker than expected. The work was preformed quickly, and Meredith Home Improvements were incredibly accommodating, coming back out after the work was done to complete additional tasks we felt needed added on. Their quality of work and the end results are great. All details were attended to and the siding and shutters look terrific. The new look grabbed the attention of all my neighbors, prompting many conversations about the work - none of which did I hesitate to rave and recommend Meredith Home Improvements to them. If I need more work in the future, they will definitely be the first I call.

Excellent overall experience - very prompt on providing an estimate, fair price, high quality work, very responsive on responding to questions and wrapping up punch list items. Highly recommended.

It was just an estimate, but it was fast, detailed, and pressure free.

We still own our first home, a three-apartment brick structure, built in 1897. We no longer live in it, but use it as a rental property. Recently, the roof started leaking and I called a couple of local roofers, but neither made the effort to lock up my business. I remembered my Angie's List subscription, and selected Meredith Home Improvements. Ty called me back right away, even though he was out of town, and met me within a couple of days of my call. What impressed me was his quote came in my e-mail the same day. We agreed on the price, and they started the following week. Ty asked for no money up front, and his team started the following week. The new shingles were on in a week, and the new soffit and facia also were installed right away. They did run into a small delay of maybe a week installing the siding, but it didn't really matter to me. When the job was completed, the invoice came in my e-mail, and I mailed a check. Excellent work, very responsive, and very professional. I would absolutely use them again.

We spoke and met with Ty Meredith a few times (appreciated that he drove all the way from the South Hills to the East End), and Meredith's estimate was considerably less than the two others we obtained, also through Angie's List providers. This didn't give us pause since we were comfortable with Ty and saw all of the great company reviews on the site. We were actually turned down for an estimate by one company because our job was considered "too small," so I'm glad that Meredith was able to work with us. The job was scheduled a few weeks after signing the contract and took two days. We had the mudroom off of our kitchen completely resided, and we replaced its window and screen door. As far as the door, we selected what we wanted from Home Depot, and Meredith ordered and installed it. It had to be installed the after the job was done since we ordered a custom door and it hadn't arrived on time, but I don't think that was Meredith's fault at all. Keith was on site and he worked incredibly hard in spite of the blistering temperatures. I'm not even sure he took a lunch break! It was easy to see that he had a lot of experience under his belt, which made me feel at ease. He cleaned EVERYTHING up afterwards--I'm not kidding, it was like nobody was ever there, and that is the first time I can say that about people who have done work in our house. Overall, we are really pleased with the work and will definitely contact Meredith for future projects. I'm already thinking of what we can do next! I also referred two neighbors to them, and one has already had a project completed. Tough luck for that company that said my job was "too small"-- they really missed out.

In early July, 2012, Ty, the owner, called me back very promptly and came out to take a look at what needed to be done, as well as providing me with an estimate for the work on the same day. It turns out a special type of siding had to be ordered to complete the job and there were a few minor delays, but once the order came in, the Meredith crew was quick to get the work done. I appreciated Ty's honesty and expertise in informing me about the siding we should use to make sure it would last a long time (which included a lifetime warranty for the siding). I did not, I confess, know much about home repairs such as siding, etc. because my late father was usually involved in these types of dealings. I did not feel taken advantage of one bit, and the cost to complete the job was very reasonable. The two man crew came on the day they promised and worked steadily for about 3 1/2 hours to complete the job. They were professional and friendly and were careful in cleaning up when they were done. I am satisfied with the work and would definitely use Meredith Home Improvements again if more home repairs are needed.

Ty, the owner, bid the job for us. He was a very nice, pleasant and professional guy. We had him bid new siding, gutters, soffit and facia, new windows, painting and minor repair of front porch, and a new roof. Ty came to our house several times, at our convenience, to review the bid, answer questions, review options, etc. He was very responsive during the bid process and was certainly proactive in following up/checking in with us, but was not overly aggressive about us signing the contract. We had two other companies give us bids and price-wise, Meredith was in the middle, but we liked the customer service we were getting right up front, so we went with them. I thought Ty was very honest in the bid process. For example, I asked him to include replacing the roof on a newer addition to the house and he advised against it, saying it was unnecessary to replace the roof and that it would be a waste of money. Also, when quoting the window job, he quoted the middle-of-the-road window line. I did some research on-line and asked him about the price difference for the top-of-the-line window line. He explained why he uses the middle-of-the-road product and why he thought it was sufficient for our needs, but was happy to quote both lines and let me decide what I was happy with. Once we signed, Ty kept to the schedule he had given us in terms of starting the project. Ralph was our foreman, and he was very prompt, professional, and pleasant during the job. He would ask me where I was hiding the home-baked brownies each morning - I finally got to making them by the end of the project! Just a pleasant guy to be around which makes these things easier on the homeowner. They showed up on time each day. The crew would leave early (in my opinion (3:00 or so)) but I never really saw them take a true "lunch break", so 8:00 - 3:00 would be a full day of work actually. Ralph always took the time to answer my questions during the project. He was also happy to correct/address issues I raised during the project. For example, I did not like the color chaulking they put around the first window. I told Ralph and he asked Ty to bring him a different color when he was at the job site next time. It took a few days for the new stuff to get there, but when I told Ralph Friday morning that I really wanted all the windows chaulked so I could move my furniture back over the weekend it was done by the end of the day. Also, I felt that I was getting a draft off of one of the windows they put in and I told Ty and he had Ralph check it out the next day. He spent a good bit of time testing the seals, blowing air into it from outside, etc., but couldn't find that it was drafting. I haven't had problems with it since. I must have imagined it! I feel confident that if it becomes a problem as he cold weather gets here it will be addressed... After the job, when I had an issue with some of the flashing allowing water to come into the addition, Ty had Ralph at my house the next morning to fix it. While there Ralph also addressed a pipe that another contractor had left open that was allowing water into our mechanics room "gratis". Overall, I was very pleased. Having this much work done on your house is never pleasant, but at least this wasn't painful! This was one of the best experiences I have had working with contractors and I would recommend, and have recommended, Meredith to other homeowners. The only down sides I would say are that they use somewhat "off-brand" suppliers. Siding is not Alcoa, windows are not Anderson/Pella, etc. I questioned Ty about each of these brands and he explained why they use the brands that they do and went over the benefits of them and the warranties, etc. I can't call these other brands "knock-offs" because they were not cheap, but it was one source of concern in picking a contractor as we are used to always using those top brands. But Ty assured us he had used these brands for years and that they were good products. I guess only time will tell on that.

Our overall experience was great. Ty was easy to work with before, during, and after the work. Great communication through email and phone, which is always a big plus in my book for a contractor. The work done was excellent. The new siding makes our house look like a new house. They also did a great job with our chimney siding (Ty's idea). They had to work a bit for the front of the house, which was a real stone front (not traditional laid like brick houses, but just a front stone "panel"). But, they got it off there and did a great job blending the front into the sides (there was a noticeable overhang on the front of the house). Ridge vent installation went well too. Customer service wise they went above and beyond. We had a little issue that was promptly cleared up by Ty. The workers themselves seemed courteous based on my wife's assessment. Apparently they actually knocked on the door and asked if they could start doing some louder stuff, showing some appreciation for the sleeping baby right inside of where they were working. Overall, I would definitely use them again and would definitely recommend them to anyone. Great job, great price, thanks very much.

This was a very small job but the work was well beyond expectations. Many of the companies I contacted would not replace only a few pieces of siding, they insisted on doing the entire wall. Meredith's owner told me upfront the new siding would have a slight color difference, but when it was completed I could barely tell unless I was right up next to the house.When a half dozen of companies ran away from such a small job, Meredith happily did this taking time to be sure they matched everything up as well as could be. I would absolutely use Meredith again due to the quality of work and reasonable price.

Overall process from the sales call to completion was totally satisfactory.

They were very punctual and professional. They arrived on time and got right to work. The men were friendly and courteous. They were also extremely hard-working. They were able to complete both roofs in two days. We were very pleased with their work. Both of the roofs look beautiful and we've already had compliments on them from our neighbors. One of the reasons that we selected this company is that they carry both Workman's Comp. insurance as well as liability insurance. Some companies only carry the less expensive general contractor's insurance which doesn't really protect the homeowner should one of their workers get injured. Because Meredith Home Improvements has Worker's Comp. insurance for its employees, we felt much more comfortable having them working on our property. We would definitely recommend this company and would hire them again for future work. The work was performed at two addresses: our house at 4783 Robert Drive and also at 4775 Robert Drive.

I didn't really dislike anything. The job looks good, they did it in a timely manner, the price was good, they were clean, and they picked up their mess. Right now, everything looks good, hopefully come winter time it all holds up and looks good.

The service went perfect and we were very pleased with them.

They were very good. They did everything that I wanted to do on my list. They said no problem and they would do anything that I wanted. He gave me his price and there was no negotiation. They came and worked really hard every day. There were a couple little things that I did not like and they said that they would fix them. The crew did things that they did not have to do and I was not charged for those things. I would give them the highest grade. I also had them give me bids on other things I want done. When I first called them and told them what I had, he called me the same day to come over. He came and measured things things and gave me a bid the very next day. I had another bid that was lower, but not nearly as much work. That meant a lot to me. If they were not going to make it, they would call me and tell me.

Ty was quick to respond to my estimate request. After evaluating several contractors and the estimate I decided to go with Meredith. After accepting the offer Ty was quick to get back to me and answer any additional questions I had. The came out when promised and completed the job quickly. The workers were very friendly and efficient. Ty called during the work to follow up. The cleaned up well and were finished faster than I originally estimated. A great job was done and the roof looks great, thanks.

Responded quickly to our initial contact for a quote. Ty came to the house within days and spent time answering all our questions and making suggestions of what might work for us. He was very nice and knowledgeable. He suggested a larger gutter over our back door area and we rerouted the downspout to the back of our house. Had samples with him to show us the siding choices and shingles and suggested ones he thought would look best. We received his quote the next day. He also followed up with a phone call to make sure we had received his quote. Of the 4 companies we call, Meredith was 1 of the 2 that responded, they had the best price and responded the quickest. The other company took a week to get the quote to us after telling us a day. We had work done with Meredith before and were satisfied. The day the materials were delivered we had a problem with the delivery truck getting up our driveway. Ty came immediately helped move the materials into his pickup truck and drove them up the driveway and unloaded them. Dumpster was delivered and work started a day or two after. They gave us a day notice of the work starting. The roofing crew was very good. Arrived at 7 am worked till about 4, it took 2 days to complete the roof. First day they replaced the back part of the roof and installed the solar roof fan. They are not licensed electricians, so let us know upfront they could not wire the fan if we wanted that option. Second day completed the front of the roof, along with the porch. They found rotted wood on our porch roof, but got approval for the additional cost before purchasing the wood. Flashed the chimneys but let us know they need repaired and repointed so as not to have continuing water problems. (They don't do brick repair work.) Cleanup was good, found only a couple nails. Very efficient team. And as a added bonus, the father of the roofer gave me some plants from his garden, hosta and sedum! There was about a week in between the roof job and the siding & gutters. Mainly due to weather, but Ty kept us posted on the schedule. He always responded quickly to any phone calls or emails. The crew doing the siding and insulation arrived around 9, worked until 3 and it took two days. Did a great job on the siding and gutters. Covered the back dormer completely, the sides of the front dormer and the back exterior wall. Placed a wood grid on the back exterior wall with contact cement and anchors, insulation then the siding. Gutters were them put on, made on site. The whole job looks great. Finished very nice; corners, edges, etc. Cleanup was good. Talked to us before they left to let us know how they did the job and answered any of our questions.

They were always on time and efficient in their work. They were very tidy and clean throughout the job and were very patient when I had to let my dogs out. The entire experience was very easy and I didn't feel unconvinced at all. After they left I found that one of the downspouts was dripping, but they came back and fixed it without a problem at all.

they showed up when they were scheduled and performed the work as contracted. they cleaned up afterward. we had to call them back twice for loose pieces of siding. they were quick to come back and refasten.

Meredith Home Improvement is an excellent company to deal with. The entire job went smoothly beginning with the quote request all the way through installation. Ty was extremely responsive to all my questions during the quote phase via both email and phone. The install was only 3 weeks after I accepted the quote and only took 1 full day and 2 hours the following morning for completion of 3 roofs. The installers are very professional and polite. The clean up of the roof and yard was incredible. I have a dog and do not need to worry about him stepping on debris or nails!! I would definitely use Meredith Home Improvement in the future and will recommend them to friends and family. It's nice to deal with a reputable company and not have to worry about being taken advantage of.

The exterior of our brick house was getting old.. The builder used cheap materials and everything was failing at once. After some less than pleasant estimates(due to people, cost, completeness, etc) , we found Meridith on Angie's List. We talked to Ty and he came out to give us an estimate. The price was very competitive, his references were quite positive, and the quote was in writing and spelled everything out. Ty was very patient while we fulfilled our obligation to a couple other companies to provide estimates but all they did was support our belief that Meridith was the way to go. We signed the contract. Their terms were amazing (when it's done you pay) Ty was very easy to work with (He listened, checked and double checked), and the workmen were very helpful through the inconvenience of shuffling cars and trucks in the driveway. The result looks great and I couldn't be happier. There was no one at home for much of the work. No direction required. All they asked was an electrical outlet If I were being very picky... was everything perfect...probably not. It took them a little longer to get started than I had hoped but I never said that start time was important and I understand why they are very busy. Cleanup at the end of each day could have been a little better but by the end of the project everything was gone. Weather stretched the project out a little but that's not their fault. This was a big roof, a lot of gutters, and some challenges with the configuration of the soffit and facia. They were up to the task. I will definitely use them again and would certainly recommend them to others.

We had planned on getting a lot of work done on our house this year, but were not able to start contacting contractors until late summer. We first contacted contractors in our town(Washington, PA), and although a few expressed interest in coming to make an estimate, they ended up being too busy to follow up with us. We used Angie's List to see if there were any contractors within traveling distance who might be interested. By then it was October, and we were pretty resigned to waiting till next summer to get the work done. Still, we contacted Meredith Home Improvement by email to see if they would at least be interested in coming to look at the house and make a bid. Ty got back to us within a day and set up an appointment to come see us. He came within a a few days. He talked to us about our ideas, he measured, told us what products they used, and told us he would email an estimate. He sent us an estimate with a day or two, and we accepted. He told us at the time we signed the contract that it would be December before his crew could start working, and we assumed that with bad weather coming the work probably wouldn't start until the spring, but at least we would have things lined up. In December Ty contacted us and said the start date had been delayed due to weather, but they planned on starting first thing in January. On January 3, two of the guys showed up to get snow off the roof and to get things set up to start working the next day. They worked every day until January 25, except for two days when it was raining so hard that it would have been impossible to get anything done. They came even when the temperature was in the single digits! The crew was polite, considerate, and cleaned all debris. They made suggestions about details we hadn't considered, but always got our approval for anything that wasn't clear. Our house is completely done now and looks beautiful.
