Capitol Roofers Reviews

“Two other companies told me the slate on our Green Street house was finished and quoted a full tear-off. Capitol came out, tapped every slate on the front slope, and showed me photos of the nails. It was nail sickness, not dead slate. They re-hung the whole front elevation with matched salvage and copper hooks. It looks original because it is original.”

“Three quotes, and theirs was the only one that listed everything separately. When I asked why they were four hundred more than the cheapest, they walked me through the line the other guy was missing — soffit intake. Turned out my ridge vent had been doing nothing for fifteen years. Crew was here two days, cleaned up twice, and the attic is noticeably cooler.”

“Limb came through the roof over our bedroom at about eleven at night. A person answered the phone, told me exactly what to do until they got there, and had it tarped before two in the morning. They coordinated the tree crew for the next day so the hole never sat open. I cannot say enough about how they handled it.”

“Been patching the back roof on my rowhome for years. They cut a test core, showed me the insulation was soaked, and explained why another coating would just seal the water in. Full tear-off with tapered insulation so it actually drains now. First winter with no bucket in the back bedroom.”

“After the storm our roof looked completely fine and I nearly did not bother. They marked test squares, counted the hits, photographed the gutters and the AC unit, and then met the adjuster on the roof with a diagram. The adjuster had missed the whole back slope on his first pass. Claim approved for a full replacement.”

“Water running down the inside of our upstairs wall in January. They steamed the dam off without touching the shingles, cleared the frozen gutters, and then — the part I appreciated — went in the attic and showed me the six places heat was escaping. Sealed those in the spring. No dam this winter at all.”

“Historic district work, so I was braced for a fight over paperwork. They put together the photos and the material spec in a format the city could actually review, and it went through without a single question. Copper valleys, matched slate, and they harvested from the back slope so the street side stayed original.”

“We could not close the shop for a re-roof, and they phased it so we never lost a day. Loud work happened before we opened. Every tenant got written notice with actual dates. Two years on they still come twice a year, clear the drains and send a photo report — which is what keeps the manufacturer warranty valid, as it turns out.”

“Called about gutters overflowing. They pointed out the fascia behind them was rotten and showed me why new gutters on bad wood would fail the same way. Replaced the sub-fascia, went up to six-inch trough with bigger downspouts, and ran the discharge out away from the house. Basement has been dry through two storms that would have flooded it.”

“We were tired of paying to have ice dams steamed off every February. They laid out the standing seam option honestly, including the snow guard cost over the front walk, which nobody else even mentioned. Expensive, yes. But it is the last roof this house needs and the snow slides off before it can do anything.”
