DryHome Roofing & Siding Inc

DryHome was very good to work with. They worked with us on the estimate and the scope of the work that needed to be done. Very patient with us as we asked a lot of questions and wanted to fully informed of the work that was going to be done, the color of the shingles, the quality of the shingles and the plywood, and the finishing touches to include drip edge and ridge vents. They provided addressed for us to go to look at the color and type of shingle we were considering. On the day they scheduled the work they were on time and went right to work. The supervisor was there and explained everything that was going to be done. They work crew worked all day long and got the roof done by the end of the day. The yard was cleaned up and there was little evidence that they had been there after they finished the job and left.

It went very well. He showed up earlier than expected since he was in the area doing another job, which was a bonus. Very thorough in explaining the issue and how it should be fixed, and even showed me the old pipe collar after the repair (it was seriously cracked, apparently an issue in our area). All in all, did a very good job and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again for other roofing issues as they arise.

It was perfect. They did a fantastic job and their price was good.

Their price was adequate. They did a good job. There were minor issues but they came back right away and corrected them.

It hasn’t leaked since and the work went smoothly. I would recommend their service to others. My neighbors also used them and were was also happy with them and they actually recommend them to me as well.

They hired out the work. They come over and they give the estimate. I thought the workmanship was good, but I had a little bit of a problem with the person that came out and gave me the initial estimate. We had a little misunderstanding on what was going to be done. They were good. I love the guys that came out. I thought they were very professional, they were timely and they did a good job. They cleaned up. I thought they were wonderful. I wasn't crazy about the guy that came out and did the actual estimate. They had done my original roof, so when they came out they installed a new ridge vent as well. The price was average.

I called DryHome Roofing last week to get an estimate on a new roof. The appointment was scheduled for 4PM on7/22/13, and the estimator, Ben Burnie, arrived about twenty minutes late. Not a big deal because he did call and say that he was going to be late. He asked why we were looking to get a new roof, and I told him that we had a small leak and that it has stained the ceiling in one of our bedrooms, and that it was also nearly twenty years old. He then asked if we had any other estimates. I told him that we have been doing are due diligence and getting several estimates... Mr Burnie then told me that they would not be the lowest price - that there were a lot of low ball roofing businesses in the area. I never mentioned being concerned about a price. I just wanted an estimate. He asked to go up to the attic, which he did and made some notes. He used my ladder to get up to the attic, and when he came down, he carried it down stairs and was headed out the door with my ladder before I stopped him. He then said that he would go outside and inspect the roof. He never removed a ladder from his truck, and came back to the door after about two minutes. He then proceeded to tell me that he knew we would not use him so he was not going to bother writing up an estimate. He again stated that he would be in the mid to upper range of our other estimates and the job would be between $12,000 to $13,000, implying that he would not waste his time in writing us an estimate. I didn't even know how to reply to that, but didn't have to because he jumped into his truck and left. I should also note that he never bothered to inspect the water damage in the bedroom that I mentioned earlier. Never before in my life in dealing with contractors have I witnessed anyone as unprofessional as Ben Burnie. I would question any company that would hire this guy. My suggestion to anyone considering this contractor is to not walk away from DryHome, but to run, and never look back.

We had a leaky roof in a couple of areas. David Spencer from DryHome came out and spent a good amount of time looking at the roof...going into the attic...taking pictures and explaining everything to us. He was very nice, extremely knowledgable and spent time answering our questions. We got a quote from him and he patched our large leak while we decided which contractor to go with, which was free if we were to go with them or would cost us their regular fee if not. This gave me peace of mind and that is the kind of contractor I like to do business with. David brought by a color sample for us so we knew what the roof would look like. The quote was very thorough and gave a listing of reference homes near us which we were able to ride by and take a look at. We did not feel pressured to go with any upgraded shingle but we decided to go a level up because we want this roof to last many years. We've used DryHome for at least six or more years for regular maintenance and have been very happy. The scheduling rep Marko was very nice and helpful and answered our questions. The roof install was seamless...the guys were here when they said they would be and the roof was completed in two days because it was a big job. With the hundreds of roofing nails all around the house from the removal of the old roof, we only found a couple nails....the cleanup they did was amazing. Our trees and bushes were not harmed. A few days later they sent a rep, Beny, to do a quality inspection of the roof. There was one area we were concerned about on the chimney that he fixed that day. The roof looks fantastic and we feel better when it rains. We will definitely work with them again when we need to and have referred several people to them. Great job!

They always arrived on time with the proper materials and completed the work in time they proposed.

They gave me a good estimate and they were very responsive. They gave me the best assessment of my roof, but there price was higher.

Great. It was drizzline the date the sealing was scheduled, so they called and postponed the sealing process -- totally professional.

They did everything promptly. They came back and dealt with all the issues that arose during the year and dealt with everything. They were reasonable in price as well.

A little pricey but a very easy company to work with . The work done was on the roof and not accessible to me, but so far so good. No leaks.

See other comments. Job well done, no leaks or problems noticed so far. Its been about 1 month with a few rain storms.

It's hard to figure out an appropriate review for Dry Home. Their sales person Ben came to the house to provide us with an estimate for roof and window replacement. He showed up on time and was very friendly but didn't actually provide any estimates. He asked what we wanted done, did a quick visual inspection of the windows, and then asked us who else we had gotten estimates from. We told him the names of the companies but not what their estimates were or whether we had any top candidates as we were still pretty early in the process. He knew several of the companies and basically said his preliminary "estimate" was that Dry Home's cost would be somewhere between what company A had estimated and what company B had estimated. He also gave us his opinion of the other companies which was somewhat helpful as it confirmed our own experiences, although I think a little unusual for him to offer that. He said if we were really interested in working with Dry Home they could come back and do formal measurements to give us a real estimate. On the one hand I thought his approach was interesting, why waste time if he thinks he will most likely lose out to a known competitor with similar quality but lower costs. But on the other hand how do you expect to win any business with that type of approach? Depending on the extent of everything we end up having done the cost would be in the $15-$20k range which I think is a decent chunk of money so I was surprised they didn't take our project more seriously. We decided not to move forward with them so I can't speak to the quality of their work or anything, just the estimating process.

Roof leak, they replaced the skylights & resealed. Great job, professional and reasonable price.

The company was very responsive, very professional from the initial person taking the call to the person who came for the estimate to the people who came to fix the roof. All were extremely polite and helpful. The estimate and the work to be performed was well detailed.

He was very informative and very friendly. He was punctual, did a thorough inspection, and went over all the options with me.

The service went very well overall! They provided me with an estimate and worked closely with me. They were careful and did a great job.

I had a challenging flat roof problem. Jim Baker with Dry Home was very helpful in coming up with a solution. This required a bit of "outside the box" thinking. He was very honest about expectations and difficulties that the project involved. Several contractors that I spoke with immediately refused to consider tackling the problem. Through several consultations, Jim was patient and professional in helping me to learn what I needed to know about the project. Dry Home showed up when they said they would, did excellent work and thoroughly cleaned up afterward. I am completely satisfied with my experience and grateful for their willingness to work with my specific needs.

I learned that my roof might not be in good shape when some painters working on my eaves noticed some of the trim was rotten and when they investigated it noticed that the plywood on the roof was mushy. They suggested I have someone look at this. I did. The initial quote was vast in scope and hugely expensive. I simply couldn't afford it. I knew of Dry Home's reputation because of Angie's List and reviews in the Best Pick Reports 2012-Fairfax County. Also seeing signs in my area that they were doing roofing. I called them in early December. Due to hurricane damage in the areat, call volume was high. When I called the main number at Dry Home, I was directed to a web site to enter my request and contact information with an apology and a promise by DH to return the call asap. My call was returned the next day. Due to conflicts with my schedule, an appointment was not set up until December 21. The representative was prompt, courteous, and informative. He had a professional background in building industry. He listened to my situation. He examined and measured my roof. He explained possible courses of actions for my roof, what was essential if there was no need to replace all sheathing and what to expect if they did. He explained the process and the time line. He showed me choices of material and what would give me value. He suggested an attic fan since I didn't have one. I knew they were a good idea but as this is an older home it didn't originally have one. The approximate cost of having an electrician hook up the fan was also disclosed as they do not connect the wires). All the flashings were replaced. They check to see if pets are around so you know to keep them indoors and out of harms way, gates closed. The big day arrived. My only job had been to make sure that patio furniture, big pots, etc. be moved away from the house. They arrived early and ready to go. They prepped the area and got started. As it turned out my roof was a soggy disaster and the job took 2 days. Aside from the tapping sound inside and the vehicles and equipment outside, you wouldn't have known the crew was there. The were quiet, courteous, and moved with speed that was highly efficient and practiced. Afterwards they cleaned up every scrap of debris that had escaped and used a magnetic rake to maximize cleanup. And if you have read this far a word about my first impression of the crew. They arrived early morning promptly-not within a "4hr window".They all had nice haircuts and were clean shaven, They had on proper work cloths in good repair. They had on good work boots. They had proper tools, ultra neat organization. They were pro's

Dryhome was responsive to my call and setting up the appointment. Responsiveness, punctuality, and professionalism we an 'A'. Roberto called before arriving, was professional, and arrived on time. Unfortunately, in our neighborhood, the builder used subpar shingles and every homeowner has repeated issues with damaged shingles when winds are even slightly elevated. This will be the 6th time I need a repair on our roof since the house was built in 2006. Typically, 3 to 8 shingles are damaged anytime we have a storm with high winds. The prior 5 repairs have been between $125 and $275, and were completed by 3 different people. It is always a new area on the roof, as well. The last one was $275 and included 4 shingle replacements, and 8 pieces of siding replaced. I always have the materials for the contractor, as I did this time. Unfortunately, my last repairman moved away from the area. * I understand your minimum charge is $275, so since I've had 5 prior repairs for less than that amount, I was willing to pay upto $275. Once I was told, "It will be more than $275," I did not need to hear anymore. I am aware $275 would provide plenty of profit for 7 shingles, when I have the materials. * In fact, a smart contractor would drive around the neighborhood and see that about 1/4 of the homes have shingle issues and would offer a couple days when they would come out and do repairs on all the houses for, let's say, $200 for upto 8 shingles. What you would get is a couple days of work with a lot of homeowners, in one community (very efficient), that may also consider you for full roof replacement in the near future. I will find someone in line with my prior cost for repairs.

After seeing Dry Home on Angie's List and Fairfax County's best providers, I requested an estimate. They sent a sales person within several days. He was prompt and very courteous and professional. Unlike a previous sales person from another company, he inspected my entire house, including the attic to see if there was any water coming from the roof. (There was none). To the extent he could, he inspected the roof, including the shingles that had come off. The roof was original and was almost 20 years old. He explained why the shingles were coming off, due mostly to the way they were stapled on. He also inspected the gutters and could see they had pulled away from the roof. My biggest surprise was when he gave me the estimates! For both the roof and gutters (no downspouts, they were good) he quoted $3,600, which was less than half the cost of estimates I had received. One roofer gave me a quote of $7,500! I was already impressed with their reviews on both Angie's List and the Fairfax County's Best. Also impressed with the thorough exam of my house. I contracted that day to have the work done (also mentioned Angie's List and got a $150 discount). I was not here when they did the work, but they completed the roof in one day and followed up the next day with the gutters. It was an easy job with no surprises - although he warned me they might have to replace a small amount of the plywood if needed. (Did not need to be done.) They followed up 2 weeks later with a final inspection and cleanup, if needed (it didn't). I would recommend this company to anyone who needed work done on their roof or gutters. They are very professional.

My roof is 20 years old and I was concerned about its state because of its age - not because of any experience with problems. I requested that Dry Homes take a look at its condition and give me an estimate of what a new roof would cost. The gentleman arrived promptly, took pictures of the roof's condition, explained what could be done to give me another year or two of wear, and provided me with a cost for the repair job plus a ballpark figure for roof replacement so that I could plan accordingly. The repairman arrived promptly in a few days, made the repairs, and left no mess behind. I will plan to use DryHome Roofing for the full roof replacement in the future. I have several friends who have used them and they have been very pleased with the work and professionalism of this company.

They did a great job replacing my gutters with larger capacity, since the builder grade was overflowing in moderate rain. The gutters look good and we now have no drainage issues. The also covered all trim with vinyl wrapped aluminum, which makes that house look 20 years newer, and no more painting! I would recommend this to anyone.
