Dority Roofing Capability Reviews

"From our first contact with the company to the finishing touches of our skylight installation, we were thrilled with the work performed by Dority Roofing and Solar. Each person we dealt with was knowledgeable, professional and nice. Matt Carley was especially helpful in working with us on the scope and details of our particular project. We are delighted to provide a 5-star review."

"In renovating my new home, I realized it would need a new roof, and I wanted to install solar as well. A contractor friend in Maryland asked me if I'd ever heard of CertainTeed Roofing. He said this is the best I could do, and that unlike other shingle/composition makers, this company warranted the workmanship as well as the roofing product, and that they would never come back and not pay a claim, or pay only a small percentage, saying that the installer was at fault. They always pay 100% of any replacement!

I had never heard of CertainTeed, and looked them up. I love working with locals, and here was Dority Roofing in P.G.! Not only this, but they have the highest rating possible from CertainTeed.

It gets even better! I wanted to install solar, but have always been afraid that the solar installers would ruin or compromise the roof. Turns out Dority is Roofing AND Solar!!!

I hired them for both new roof and new solar, a skylight and some light tubes. They were THE BEST! Not only Kasey, the owner, who is a stickler for perfection in installation, but every crew member! The neighbors even told me how impressed they were with the installers, their good manners, their consideration of those on my street. I was impressed with how expertly every detail was attended to. There were no surprises, other than that I saw either Kasey or Wesley (head of the solar department) or sometimes both, on the roof each day!

End result is a beautiful, watertight, perfectly installed product! I could not be more pleased!"

"Given the surging cost of energy and water, my wife and I wanted to install solar panels on our roof and convert new and existing rain gutters into a water reclamation and storage system. Our existing roof still had life left in it, but given the exploding costs of electricity and water, it made economic sense for us to replace it now.

We set out to find a roofing company that was capable and willing to produce a turnkey product: roof, solar and rain gutter downspouts that converged into a single source water reclamation and storage system. We interviewed several companies but Dority Roofing & Solar was the only company that got engaged with our vision, contributed creative ideas and recommendations as to how we could best achieve our objectives. Beyond that, Kasey Dority and his staff were focused on quality. As we moved through the discussion process I sensed their gravitational pull toward doing things right rather than just doing it.

My wife and I decided to use Dority Roofing and we went into this big-ticket project with expectations that crept admittedly high. Dority's crew spent ten days working on our home, and as disruptive as a roofing renovation project can be, their outstanding teamwork, courtesy, professionalism, attention to detail and respect for our property was on display each and every day. We even had neighbors stop by and comment on the quality of workmanship they observed.

The final product exceeded our expectations and Dority Roofing confirmed what we'd sensed about them from the very beginning; this is a company that cares about their customer, their employees and their reputation. As home owners who were making a sizable and strategic investment in our house, we could not have asked for a better partner!"

"I am highly impressed with Dority Roofing. We do not make decisions easily and Kasey was very impressive with his knowledge and we felt comfortable with him and knew he would be easy to work with. He was not the lowest bid, but we felt he was the right person to do the job right.

He was helpful in making sure we had a lot of houses to look at to get an idea of how our new roof would look. We even changed the type of roofing shingle just a day before the crew was to begin, and Kasey went out of his way to change the order.

The crew was fantastic. We have open beam ceilings which would have rained dirt into the house during the roofing process. The crew taped up plastic wrap under the ceilings all over the house (took many hours); it was impressive how much dirt there was, and none got into the house. The crew worked efficiently and took care of everything. Roofing license was obtained on short notice. Metal work subcontractor arrived and did their work on time and even worked late so as to have job done for the roofers the next day. Roofing crew cleaned up after work each day and you wouldn't have known that the roofing was even in progress at the end of each day. Finally once the job was done it was DONE. For example, there were spots uncovered on the adjacent walls that needed painting. The crew took care of that so that nothing was incomplete.

Overall, a fine company that I can recommend with no reservations."

"I started out knowing that I needed to replace my roof this year and was searching to decide which company to work with. Then I realized that my skylights were as old as my roof and I was sure that it would be best to replace them at the same time.

Initially I was interested in working with Dority because they offer a copper shingle option. While I didn't end up choosing copper, I am truly pleased that I chose them. The owners, Kasey and Monique Dority, are wonderful to work with. Kasey is very knowledgeable. He was also very patient and encouraged me to take my time in deciding on a roofing material and skylights. In addition, he introduced me to their solar shingles, and I decided to have enough installed to offset my yearly electric costs.

He has one crew that does the removal of the old roof and the installation of the new one. Many of the crew members are carpenters, which reassured me that they would be able to detect and handle any problems with regard to the infrastructure should any be discovered. The few times crew members had to enter my home, they always removed their footwear. Kasey was always on site at least once a day to ensure everything was going smoothly. Monique is very friendly and was always prompt and thorough in regard to handling all of the paperwork.

I would definitely work with Dority again."

"We own a lovely cottage in the heart of Carmel and have spent the last year renovating it. Along the way, we have worked with the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to contractors. The final piece of the jigsaw was to fit a replacement roof. Carmel City are pretty set in their attitudes towards what materials constitute an acceptable roof that ‘fits' the locale. As such, the old wood shakes roof we had inherited had to be replaced with another of the same material.

We searched online, asked our neighbors and drove around to get local roofing companies to provide us with a quote. In the end, we appointed DORITY ROOFING of Pacific Grove to do the job. The initial meetings we had with Monique and Kasey (the owners) gave us the level of confidence we were looking for. No matter what opinions/research you receive or undertake, the actual decision is, by its nature, a leap of faith that what is promised will be delivered.

Dority were not the cheapest, but their professional approach, detailed timeline and seamless service gave them an edge over the competition. We duly signed a contract to have 3/4 inch Canadian cedar shakes installed alongside nine new Vellux skylights, with extensive copper flashing. The date for starting the installation was agreed.

On the first day, as the sun came up, they came out of the West - THE FOUR MUSKETEERS - Wayne, Jose, Ruben and Jorge. The work they did for us was beyond first class. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING was too much trouble. Their workmanship was truly marvelous. They cleaned up thoroughly at the end of each day and gave us a roof that really does our cottage justice. Kasey was there first thing every morning to meet with his Musketeers and ensure that everything was progressing as planned.

They were friendly and had a genuine pride in their work that reflected in the finished roof. We would recommend Dority Roofing to ANYONE who is looking for a company that truly delivers what it promises."

"Dear Kasey,

I want to thank you and your crew very much for the outstanding job you did on rebuilding the deck above our downstairs bedroom. I realize that the extensive water and mildew damage that occurred, as a result of the poor construction and design by the original contractor 5 years ago, created some real challenges for you. I was very impressed with the way you were able to assess the extent of the damages and come up with innovative ways to address each and every one of them in a very professional manner.

In looking back at the scope of the problems, I am very thankful that I did not hire just any contractor to do the work, but one who specializes in custom deck and waterproofing work with the expertise and knowledge to recognize the causes of the original problems and eliminate the potential for these same issues to create problems in the future. The fact that you took the time to thoroughly explain to me what had happened in each phase of the demolition and how you were going to address that issue during reconstruction so that the problem would not reoccur was extremely helpful and reassuring.

Lastly, I want to thank you for your professionalism in getting the job completed in a very timely manner. You and your crew were punctual and worked continually on the project until completion with very little down time in spite of the fact that we found considerably more damage than we had originally expected and contracted for. I know you were busy and had other projects that needed attention, but I very much appreciated the fact that you continued to work on our project unabated until completion.

You can be assured that I will be recommending you and your company to anyone who needs the services of an expert roofer, craftsman, and all around great guy."

"We recently had our roof replaced and solar installed. After speaking with one roofing company we heard about Dority Roofing. Once we met and spoke with them it was an easy decision to have them do the work. They were very patient with our many questions, answered them completely and honestly and gave us all the time we needed to make the right decision. Once work began, it was obvious that the crew wanted to do a good job. They were conscientious, interested in what they were doing and worked together like a family who had worked side by side for a very long time. A ten foot end roof board had dry rot and they removed it, purchased a new one, primed, painted and installed it before continuing in that section, and at no additional cost to us. We could not give Dority Roofing a higher recommendation and are completely satisfied with the finished product."

Dear Sirs:

You recently performed a roof inspection on one of my listings at 3399 Taylor Road in Carmel. At the time of the inspection the buyers and sellers, as well as both of the agents were present. The gentleman who did the inspection, Kasey, was very helpful in reviewing his report as well as giving the buyers answers to all of their questions.

Some time ago, your company did some repair work on the roof at my own home on San Carlos Avenue, as requested by Frank Bruno, and I have been more than pleased with your work.

The reason I am writing to you at this time is to tell you that in the over 25 years that I have been involved in construction and real estate sales, I have never received a report that was performed in such a professional and informed manner.

Kasey did a truly great job and I wanted to be sure to make you aware of this.

Dear Kasey,

Thank you so much for making our first re-roofing job a pleasurable and painless experience.

The roof looks great. We appreciate the fact that your workman took the time each and everyday to clean up the surroundings. They were prompt without any delays.

I have had neighbors inquiring, so hopefully, you will receive more business in the future. I will gladly recommend your company.

Again, thank you for a job very well done.

Dear Kasey,

We had been wanting to replace our shake shingle (fire unsafe) roof and maybe install solar power in our house, but we were overwhelmed with the choices and the whole process. We met with different roofers but it was hard to get a sense of what was involved until we met with Dority Roofing. Kasey walked us through what was involved, gave us several options and the corresponding bids. The prices were fair. It was an easy decision to go with Dority and it was pretty much a turnkey solution. When it was all done our roof and solar system were perfect, the quality of the workmanship superb. It has probably been the easiest project we have done with a contractor. We love coming to our house and seeing the great work that Dority Roofing did!
