I have had two occasions to use the Louise August company, one repairing and stabilising a long flight of stone steps, and another securing a large patio area with flagstone. The work finished was first class, done on time as promised, and we are very satisfied that our safety is ensured.
Thank you very much. I would definitely recommend their work.
Quickly identified the appropriate estimate and just as quickly provided their service. Even alerted me to maintenance things on the roof we did not hire them for, for later action. 5/5 would hire again!
I them to coat my flat roof and also point bricks. No pressure to sign a contract. They arrived earlier than expected worked over two days and completed the work as expected. I was really impressed with the brick pointing. The prices were comparable to other contractors. They did a great job!
I can’t say enough great things about the firm Louise August Roofing . They repaired my roof quickly, did a fantastic job and was incredibly fair with the pricing. I really felt like I was in good hands the whole time. I highly recommend them!!!
We had an excellent experience with George! He responded promptly to our emergency, followed up right away, and showed up exactly on time. He quickly used his expertise to resolve our immediate problem and then took the time to walk us through a maintenance plan for moving forward. This was our first time using this service, and we found them to be honest, and knowledgeable, with better than fair pricing.
Very professional, well detailed and clean ruffing work. Used high quality materials.
Workers were pros, nice and respectful.
I would definitely hire them again!!!
Fantastic job cleaning my gutters. Super responsive, showed up on time, left the place clean, and overall great to work with. Plan to hire them again for all gutter and roof work!
10/10 the customer service , the attention to detail and the thorough explanation as a woman who knows nothing about roofs. If you’re in need this contractor is the way to go!! Thanks again :)
Louse August came out same day and was able to help me immediately for a very fair price. They also suggested some additional work that would save me a headache down the road and gave me a discount on that work. I will be calling them again for my roofing/siding needs.
After I submitted the project, George called me within a few hours. He scheduled an appointment — an actual time, not a range — the next day and arrived on time. He reviewed the proposed work with me, pointing out various aspects of it that aligned with another proposed contractor. He then gave me an official written quote on the spot. It was lower than quotes, and it was for a definite amount, again, not a range. The foreman came by the next day to get the specifics so he could buy the necessary materials, and work commenced that afternoon. The project took three days, slightly under what they anticipated. The team arrived and left on time, and the areas were tidied up each time. They were also professional and friendly. Unfortunately, they discovered something that had not been done during the home’s original renovation, which George and Jim discussed with me. It was beyond what I wanted to do at the time, but we were able to settle on something that they thought would get the job done and I could agree to. They were excellent at explaining various aspects of the job like this, and I felt comfortable with their recommendations. They also accomplished additional two small tasks, one of which I mentioned I needed to do at a future date, and one that they observed. Both were done under the original agreement, which I appreciated. I definitely plan to use Louise August (a family business) for any projects that arise within their areas of expertise because it was a very good experience.
I feel they came in at an excellent price to quality ratio. It was not easy work they did and they did a great job they did not break the bank and the end result looked fantastic. I would use again.
Very professional and great quality of work ! For some quickly and the result is great ! We had a challenging project with the front of our historical house needed a tone of work. And now it looks new ! Very happy ! Def recommend
Yes they were very professional and efficient. I am so pleased with their service. I would definitely recommend them for anyone and would go back to them in the future.
The Louise August Home Improvement provided prompt, knowledgeable, and courteous service in response to my request for repair of a leak along the seam between my aluminum siding and the roof line. Because water was seeping into our dining room ceiling whenever it rained, we needed prompt, almost emergency service. Jim and George came within a day to assess the situation and returned the following day to complete the repair and to re-coat our flat roof that was showing signs of gradual failure. I highly recommend Louise August and would do business with them without hesitation.
The owners Jimmy and George are very professional always available came pass job every day. They did a stucco job and paint my detached home NW District of Columbia. Their workers Walter and Oscar are two skillful and efficient employees always on time worked all day polite finished the job in 7 days. I would highly recommend Louise August Company
Louise August was outstanding !!! The workmanship was excellent. They were on time, professional and kept me informed about the job. I would hire them again and would recommend them to others.
George and his father were incredibly responsive, communicated well about the details for the multi-task roofing job and finished on time. They cleaned and repaired the slate roof and replaced the silicon flat roof and shingle roof. Would highly recommend if you need any of these roofing repair or cleaning services. Family owned and operated too.
Highly impressed with the expertise and professionalism of this roofing company. They provided honest recommendations, completed the job ahead of schedule, and left our property spotless. A+ service.
My recent experience with the Louise August roofing company was outstanding. They were very responsive, professional and did the work at a fair price. The workers Walter and Caesar were easy to work with. The entire job was accomplished to my complete satisfaction.
Sept. 15th 2023 Repair work was done to an area of my porch roof that was rotting. The work was performed very professionally and you can't tell there was ever a problem. They also painted the repair area, porch columns and installed two new down spouts at a very fair price.
I called about a leaky roof on my rental property and they came out the same day to inspect and give me a quote. I agreed to the reasonable price and they came out the very next day for the repair. They provided pictures of the inspection as well as provided pictures during the entire repair process. Highly Recommended
Work was done very professionally. Jim (the owner) explained the scope of the work and answered all of my questions. The work involved tuck and pointing brick, rerouting gutters, installing leaf guards, and waterproof sealing. I am very pleased with the completed work!
I hired them to clean my gutters, not knowing the condition of the gutters at all. Louise August told me there was almost nothing to clean, and they didn’t charge me at all!
I highly recommend Louise August. They quoted me a good price and came the next day to do the work. They cleaned my gutters quickly and thoroughly, and cleaned up all the leaves in the front and back of my house. They arrived on time, and they were extremely polite and professional. I will defitely hire them for other projects in the future.
I have been working with a contractor for the past 15 years before looking on Angi for a second quote. Louise August’s bid was nearly half of my previous contractor’s and the quality of the work and service were superior to my previous contractor. I highly recommend Louise August.
They arrived on time and worked on my roof for a good portion of the day. They also pointed my bricks and put a special protective coating which will last forever. I had several estimates done before hiring this company. One of the other companies pointed some things out. This company was the only one that got everything. The price was satisfactory for the amount of work that was done. The boss seemed to have a nice rapport with all his workers. He made sure they stopped to have lunch and made sure they had something to eat.
They did an excellent job. It was so amazing, that I hired them to do a larger project. The crew were professional, the work was excellent, they were innovative, and they completely and thoroughly explained the options.
Wonderful experience! Great customer service, honest, fair, quality work. I could go on... They showed me photos of the issues on the roof and gave me solutions and even options. Highly recommend.
I hired Louise August to clean my gutters and roof in Capitol Hill, DC. They quoted a very competitive price over the phone. They were prompt, communicative in arranging a time, and very professional. George, Jim and their team cleaned out my gutters lickety-split and even diagnosed additional roof problems. George took the time to show me pictures of the roof and explained the issues clearly and patiently. Their team of guys were very fast. I would recommend this company, I had a really great experience.
Louise August did a FANTASTIC job getting brickwork fixed and making new window sills for the front of my 1890 row house in DC. Couldn’t be more pleased with the promptness with which my project was started and the quality of the workmanship ! Highly recommend !!
The Louis August company responded promptly to my inquiry on Anji. George's estimate was $2,000-5,000 lower than the other estimates. The work was SUPERB. Instead of just pointing one of the walls, George kindly offered to do that entire wall. Walter is a superb mason. He did recessed joints as I requested, matched the mortar, and repaired cracks in my stone windowsills. All of the work was done extremely neatly and beautifully. Jim August also recommended that they replace missing slates on my mansard roof, for an additional price. Walter again did a perfect job. At the end of the work, they sprayed all walls, window sills, and slate roof with a transparent sealant. I couldn't be happier. I strongly recommend this company.
We contacted George and arranged an appointment to have our gutters cleaned and assessed. He was very responsive on our calls. He sent a gentleman round who arrived on time. Gutters were cleaned, and photos were provided before and after. In addition, I was concerned about the state of the gutters and downspouts so asked George to provide some recommendations, partly because we keep finding birds nests up there. He gave us some suggestions to improve the health of our gutters, the downspouts and the facia boards. He was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. We intend to use George and his team in the future and would have no hesitation in recommending him to others.
Great response time within 1/2 hour of request. Crew checked roof about an hour later. Fixed skylight & roof issues the next day. Will be calling them for our next project
Mr. August quickly responded to my request. He assessed and recommended what needed to happen to resolved the concerns of what was a cosmetic repair to siding and identified a bigger problem on the roof. He was very professional and thoughtful and took care of both issues that included waterproofing my roof. I’m grateful for his quick actions , the before and after pictures and his teams work. I will continue using him on projects of this nature. And would highly recommend him.
Wonderful craftsmanship and attention to detail to replace original wood trim and repair stucco on a circa 1930 home. Attentive and professional customer service. I would recommend them without hesitation.
George took time to explain what repairs I needed on my gutters, chimney & crumbling house bricks. He told me recommended remedies and why these were needed to prevent further water damages to my house. The work was completed quickly & crew cleaned up when job was completed. The price for all work was reasonable. I would hire this company again for any brick/gutter repairs.
Excellent same-day service including gutter cleaning and repair, chimney tiles repair, replacing rotten wood under the roof tiles and removing useless tv antenna. They did a perfect cleaning job when they were done
George came out and provided a same day quote. They’d had a cancellation and were able to start work the next day for us. Weather was coming, so they made sure to get it all done quickly for us. They did a wonderful job. We have four different roof types, slate, flat, metal, and asphalt shingles, and they were great with all of them. They also fixed our chimneys and tuck pointed our brick. Very reasonable price as well. 10/10 would hire again.
I was so delighted with this company they were on time. Did the job were very professional courteous and I highly recommend this company for any and all roof work that you might need !
We hired this company to clean our gutters and re seal our roof. They did a quick and thorough job at a very fair and reasonable price. Highly recommended.
Great service. George responded to my inquiry promptly, explained my options and recommended the simplest solution. His crew were fast and polite. George made sure to stop by and check on the job. Overall very pleased.
George and his team are thorough in explaining the work that needs to be done and in keeping the homeowner up-to-date as the work is underway. Very courteous and efficient people, and I was very pleased with the service.
I have never dealt with a company that was more professional. They came when they said they would did what they said they would clean up after themselves. I fully intend to call upon them again..
Could not be more pleased! Our flat roof DC rowhouse ponded after a major storm and leaked through to our bedroom. George came out immediately (a Thursday) to give an estimate band proposal. By Sunday, the roof was repaired and by Wednesday the interior (our ceiling) was patched up. The crew was professional, showed us lots of photos, and did excellent work. Hopefully I never need to see them again, which is the sign of a job well done.
I loved everything about this company. Mr August arrived on time for our meeting. He was very polite, did a thorough job of asking lol questions about my concerns, and inspected the roof well. The cost for repairing the skylights and the damage done by the leaks was fair and no extra cost was added at the end of the job. He also included extra service at no cost to replace the gutter on the roof where the skylights were placed, so no further issues with rain might cause water getting under the roof tiles. His workers, Walter and Cesar, came on time and worked very hard ten hours straight, even after it started to rain, to finish the job of the roofing. They then came back the next day to do the gutter. . Before leaving both days they cleaned everything so well no one would know they had been there. They were also careful of my plants when moving equipment and materials. All around best job I have ever seen. I will definitely cal them again and am praising them to all my friends.
Our job was in Washington, DC to evaluate and repair a metal and shingle roof on one property that were allowing moisture stains inside. From the first phone call to Mr. Jim August, father, the customer service was exemplary, friendly, efficient, and informative. The appointment was set for the same day. We received before work site pictures, repair estimates with options and explanations immediately. We scheduled the work for the next day; it was completed totally and excellently that same day. The work required repair and coating metal roof, skylight, new gutters, downspouts and replacing fascia board. We received from son George August 14 after work pictures of various angles to see all completed work. The warranty was great. The project end conversation and payment process were informative and just as agreed. This is a family business. Five stars in all categories. We highly, highly recommend Louise August Home Improvement. Dr. M. Kelly
Louise August were wonderful to work with. They were prompt and did an excellent job for a fair price. I have a historic home with copper gutters and a slate roof. They were very knowledgeable and comfortable working with my historic home. Highly recommend and will use again:
Prompt, professional service with incrediby courteous and neat workmen. Fixed leaking skylight damaged roof, and re-aligned gutters. Wish they could fix everything that's wrong in my house!
Louise, responded to our inquiry quickly and scheduled a start date the same week. He identified multiple issues where water could enter the building and make all the proper repairs. The job was completed timely (within two days). I would recommend Louise and would use his services again.
The result was a beautifully restored cedar shake roof. My roof looks brand new! I initially had difficulty finding a company that did cedar shake maintenance as other companies tried to sell me on a new roof, but Louise August did not disappoint. They cleaned and oiled my cedar shake roof. They helped preserve my roof for another 20 years. The team was professional and very transparent and responsive during the process. I highly recommend them!
Great service. Fast work. Excellent communication. I thought I needed a new roof, the roof was ok but needed some slate shingles replaced, silicone coating and patch ing. George and Jim took great care.
Louise August was professional, responsive and incredibly helpful. They coated my roof, and re-did my gutter system on my house. I am very pleased with the workmanship and the positive attitude of everyone I met through the process. Would 100% recommend to others. They were able to fit me in very quickly!
I had a serious leak in the house on a holiday. I left a message to ask them to contact me and I received a call back almost immediately. They came to repair the roof the next day in order to avoid further damage due to upcoming bad weather. Service couldn’t be better and friendlier and for a very good price!
I greatly appreciated working with George on this project! When he said he and his crew would begin the work, they were on time. One of my gutters needed extra work and they took care of it. I requested two Angie quotes for the project. Both were competitive, however, George submitted his promptly and addresses my questions. I am so pleased with the work his crew did that I asked him to quote on other work. Good show George & associates!
George and his team were timely, efficient and professional. They delivered everything we agreed to. There was one issue we encountered during the course of the engagement. George was more than willing to resolve and made sure we were satisfied. Highly recommended.
Jim August was incredibly helpful and responsive. His team did a great job patching and coating my roof, sanding and painting my rusting window lintels, sealing the exterior brick wall, and capping my unused chimney. I can’t recommend Louise August enough. They gave me a great price and were super efficient. If I had more roofs I would hire them again.
