Lane Roofing & Exteriors

We recently bought a property that required a great deal of updating. The roof was structurally fine, but we wanted a totally updated look and chose standing seam metal to accomplish that. Now when doing research for a metal roof, one thing you don't want is inexperience or the cheapest bid necessarily! It was also important to me to meet people in charge of the operation and know where the buck stops because a metal roof is highly skilled and intricate work and therefore an expensive proposition.

Chris gave us assurance that this project would have the correct personnel and be a high priority for his team. He gave us Rhonda to coordinate everything through who was awesome throughout! ...and We had Moses and Victor heading the job who were professional and highly skilled (how can you go wrong having Moses run your project?) And we received an excellent result in the end!

Our roof is stunning and sets our home apart in the best possible way! If you desire an amazing Standing Seam Metal Roof, look no further than Lane Roofing and Exteriors to do the job!

Lane has done an excellent job for us, and for everyone I know who has used them. My son had Lane replace the roof on his home about 10 years ago - they did such a good job we had Lane replace the gutters on our house about 4 years ago. There were adjustments to the gutters needed a couple of years later, which Lane did promptly as warranty work, and in the process of making the adjustments, the man who made those adjustments also cleaned all of our gutters for us at no charge. Based upon our recommendation, a neighbor down the street had Lane replace the roof on His house and was also very pleased with their work.

I highly recommend Lane for the quality of their work and for their focus on customer service.

Chris Lane roofer came out, looked at my roof, took pictures of my roof, sat down with me and described to me everything that needed to be done to my roof, the material he would use, and what ever needed to be repaired. He was professional as well as very nice.
Lane roofer workers came out to do the job.
They were professional, friendly, and hard workers. They worked on my roof so diligent ly and methodically, that several of my neighbors came to tell me what good work they were doing. They took pictures of my roof as they went along and they were emailed to me. I am very pleased with Lane's roofers and would refer them to anyone.

We have had Lane do a ton of work on our 115 year old home. From replacing slate shingles, roof repair, chimney capping, brick repointing and capping of ALL 26 of our windows- my house looks like a new house, and I'm here for it! The workers are friendly and professional, and the owner is 100% involved in all the jobs. Scheduling was easy, and they were very flexible and accommodating of my family's busy schedule. They are now our go-to business for roofing/exterior work. This is a gem in the roofing business. Highly recommended- 10/10.

Lane Roofing and Exteriors repaired the roof to our sunroom today. I would highly recommend this company for your home needs. After a call requesting an estimate, a few days later a representative arrived to thoroughly inspect our damage and prepare a detailed estimate. I received a detailed estimate a few hours later. The workmanship and professionalism of the technician was exceptional. The office staff was patient and accommodating in scheduling my repair. Without reservation, I would recommend Lane Roofing and Exteriors.

When the recent winds almost blew off my roof, but did more damage to my neighbors, I had to find a good roofer fast. I called many companies, and either got extremely long wait times just for an estimate, or no call back at all. Local contractor’s were not that much better, but were available with “so so” pricing and long estimated work schedules. Then I called Lane Roofing. Not only did Chris call me back immediately, but he came over on a Sunday, with a very detailed and professional estimate of damage costs, and options for both our roofs. We were given individual pricing and joint-job pricing, along with costs for some other items that needed attending to around the chimneys.. We decided to do both roofs together, even though mine had some time still left on it, as the value made it a no-brainer. We had other estimates coming in, but my intuition told me to go with Lane, and I’m Glad I did! Given the extent of damage to my neighbors roof, they moved us up in que to have the job done that week. In one day, the job was done and we have a gorgeous new roof! Such a great company to work with. Chris is so professional and quick to reply and reliable. Rhonda is fabulous and helped to schedule everything to fit our needs. She even stopped by personally to check in on things. The workers were so courteous and did an amazing job. I highly recommend Lane for all of your roofing needs.

I can't say enough about Chris Lane and his crews at Lane Roofing. They completed a challenging job replacing an old metal roof installing a new TPO roof on my warehouse. I was very happy with the results (and so were my tenants). I was so thrilled that I had them do two more my of my commercial buildings. Their pricing is very reasonable and Chris Lane is straight forward and very easy to work with. I have not hesitated to recommend them to anyone I know looking to do any exterior work.

We were faced with replacing our roof unexpectedly when a chimney inspector told us we had a soft spot that needed to be repaired. A roof inspector then told us that the shingles were too old and brittle to be patched. After numerous contractors gave us heart attacks with there estimates of over 20K, Lane Roofing came over the day after Thanksgiving and did an estimate on the spot that was reasonable based on calculations I had seen on construction sites for roofs of 3000 ft2. In fact they also replaced a great deal of sheathing for a very fair price. The Thursday after Christmas they sent 6 men who finished it in 2 days just before it snowed that night. They cleaned up everything and even cleaned my gutters for me. They say it should be 100% waterproof and it looks beautiful. What more could you ask for: a fair price, fast response, and a great product. I anticipate using them again for other exterior work in the very near future. Also, it should be noted that other contractors did give us estimates close to Lane but they took a week or more just to get back to us. Lane did not keep us waiting; they treated us like we mattered.

We were very happy with the job that Lane did on our house. They replaced our cedar roof with new cedar, replaced 7 skylights and replaced a stucco wall with cedar siding. They used high quality materials and the workmanship was excellent. The crew showed up early and worked long days to get it done.

Lane Roofing installed our new roof promptly, efficiently, with a fair price and provided excellent customer service. We appreciated their responsiveness and professionalism and that they stand behind their work. We recommend Lane Roofing & Exteriors.

We originally chose Lane Roofing & Exteriors because the company is listed as Shingle Master Pros with the manufacturer of the shingles that we wanted to use.
The sales person was very amiable and professional in his interaction with his customers. The measurement phase was quickly and accurately performed. The salesperson, also, took the time to listen to what the homeowners had to say.
The office manager is, also, the scheduler for the various jobs. She listened to the homeowners and tried to schedule the work crew around the needs of the homeowners. She kept us informed during every step of the process. Follow up was very professional.
The installation crew was well supervised. The workmanship was excellent and the cleanup was great.
Even though there was a quote error (probably due to the unexpected onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic), the company was willing to stand by the quote, which would have cost the company financially. We asked the company to requote so that they and the salesperson wouldn’t lose money. This integrity and honesty by the company is very rare and was a major factor in our choosing Lane Roofing & Exteriors.

I manage a large property in Centerville DE and this is the second time we have used Lane Roofing. We have a tiled roof which is not that common and can be tricky to work on. The guys at Lane Roofing have the expertise and skill to handle the job. This time Mike (who was running the job) stayed a couple of days longer than he was supposed to, because he wanted to be sure everything was perfect. I like that! Lane roofing is my only choice when I need work done on the property!

Working with Lane was an incredible experience. He was very honest and respectful. Would recommend him to anyone looking for roofing services!

We hired Lane to both remove our previous aging home roof, and to install a new metal roof in it's place.
We were very impressed by the work ethic of the installers (on time and waiting each day, solid hard workers for the whole time they were here, polite, and did fine work). The quality of the finished product is high.
We would use this company again.

I had hired an unscrupulous contractor to fix my flat roof and it was a disaster. I knew about Lane Roofing because I had hired them years ago to do the roof on my former home. I should have hired them again, for sure. When Mike, the roofer from Lane, came to provide an estimate and survey the damage that the aforementioned unscrupulous contractor had caused, he was patient, understanding and knowledgeable. He understood that I was not a roofing expert and needed to understand what needed to be done. Mike came with a colleague just two days later to fix the roof. I'm thrilled with his work and also with the quick responses from Lane Roofing. By the way, I called Lane the day after New Year's, which, this year, was a holiday, and Mike came anyway. The folks at Lane clearly understood how stressed I was. No more unscrupulous contractors for me. It will be Lane for all my roofing needs from now on.

Our roofing project was done quickly, cleanly and professionally, without the hard-core sales strategies and gimmicks we see far too often these days. You also learn a lot more about the quality of a company and its people when things don't go perfectly. After the installation and payment had past, we discovered a bend in our gutter system was clogged. Lane responded and promptly and took care of the situation. I would strongly recommend getting an estimate if the time has come for replacement or repairs.

Great company! I was very happy with our new roof, quality and price, when it was done in 2008. We lost a few shingles in the wicked wind of March 2018 and when I called, the minor repair was done the very next day at a very reasonable price. When it comes time to re-roof in the next few years, I'll definitely be having Lane Roofing do it.

This is my 2nd business experience with Lane Roofing; the later being a much more extensive roofing need of changing out our leaky cedar shingle roof to a much needed leak-proof asphalt shingle roof. The roof was a complex structured one with 4 skylights (also having leaked for numerous years). The Lane crew, quiet yet professional, came on the day as promised and stayed the course for the required 3 full days to complete the job. Throughout the 3 day process the project manager routinely stopped out each day to provide us an update and answer any questions or concerns we might have. A thorough cleanup was done, along with a next day thorough inspection from top to bottom. All in all, very pleased with experience, process and outcome.

Lane provided a great experience for our home. Our home was built in the 1890's and typically companies are a bit hesitant to do work on it. Lane embraced the opportunity to work on an old home and was very familiar and comfortable taking this work on. They removed our old slate roof replacing it with a metal composite while also adding insulated siding to our exterior to cover up badly damaged stucco, while keeping all the detailed facade work that makes us love an old home.

Our roof was leaking and so we got several quotes for a new roof. Lane Roofing came in the lowest because of a coupon I found on their website. They started before the original date they estimated and showed up on time and when they said they would. Each day, the workers cleaned up at the end of the day. The foreman would come and show me pictures of the problem areas and give me estimates for fixing/ replacing things each day. They did a great job. No more leaks and a beautiful end product.
