Wayne and team were fantastic across the board during the installation of new doors for my home. They were prompt and detailed, with the install only taking a few hours. The final outcome looked great, with Lauren walking me through the door and warranty features. Great job all-around! Thanks!

I had an excellent roof replacement experience with Ferris. This was my first major home improvement and I was nervous and unsure. From the initial contact with Mike Lashbook (Sales), I was completely comfortable with allowing them to replace my roof. I never felt pressured because he was straight forward with who they are and what they could and would do. My interactions the office employees, Adam Boyle (Field Supervisor) and the work crew solidified my beliefs that Ferris is an A+ company.
I absolutely LOVE my new roof! It gets better looking everyday!
Thanks again Ferris!

Chuck and Tom saved Thanksgiving!!!! Ferris has done an outstanding job - we've utilized them to install 3 new doors over the last year - a new front door, a rear deck door, and a basement sliding glass door. We've had soooo many compliments, especially on our custom front door. With our most recent project - due to global shipping delays, our basement sliding glass door was planned for 20 weeks out for delivery and installation, however, it came in EARLY, and was able to be installed 8 weeks ahead of their commitment! Unfortunately, that created a problem with cabinets that we had ordered & planned

As part of our deck renovation project, we ordered a new sliding door with screen and had it installed. The project manager has been very attentive and the team who came out to do the door replacement was so informative and proficient. It was a great experience and made us even more excited to move on to the next steps of our deck renovation!

Where do I begin!? Sam Commale is the absolute best! Very professional, knowledgeable, reliable and dependable. He made our decision so easy to make. We had several offers, but because of him and they way he offered the product, we made the easiest decision of a lifetime to have Ferris install our windows.

I have had a great experience with Ferris. The initial sales person was Austin Maichle. He was knowledgeable and too the time to explain the different options. We chose and Owings Corning shingle. From order to install took 4 weeks. Our project manager was Adam Boyle. He was on-site at the beginning of the job to manage the dumpster placement and get the roof crew started. Adam checked the job site several times during the day. Other Ferris team members such as Paul were also checking during the day. From sales through project completion, all members of Ferris as well as the installation crew were

We are repeat customers of Ferris Home Improvements because of the professionalism, quality of work and attention to detail the team of Wayne, Matt and Lauren provided on the installation of 2 Provia Endure patio doors. The team provided thorough instructions on the operation and maintenance care for the doors. Highly recommend the team and company.

The entire team at Ferris Home Improvements were TOP NOTCH professionals and the work was exceptional! From the start, the sales staff (specifically Sam Commale) helped my family understand the range of options available to us after a thunderstorm caused siding and roof damage to our home. Ultimately, it was the right time to install all new siding for our entire home as well as replace a few doors including the front door. Although there were delays procuring the materials for the work due to COVID-19, the folks at Ferris were quite communicative about their challenges and the timeline shifts

I interview many companies for the installation of my roof. This is the only company that explained exactly what they were going to do and WHY. Why is so important, to inform the customer of what they are paying for and how it's going to hold up in the future. This company didn't try to sell me on something just because they had big clients. Mike did a great job of having materials ready to show me what will be exactly laid up on my roof and even went into the attic To see if a fan or ridge vent would be best. Adam the project manager walking me through every step when the job was being done and

I cant say enough great things about Ferris and their team. Ferris did my beach house kitchen and 5 bathrooms...if you know anything about building a house then you how much of a pain it is. Sunny Donovan worked with us the entire time and was by far the best company we worked with throughout the entire build process. The work speaks for itself but everything from start to finish was fantastic
I just recently had the please of working Matt Janes on replacing my Roof, gutters and metal work. It took my over 6 months to decide on a roof color and when I did....it was the original color Matt suggested
