David was prompt, professional, and extremely helpful. I contacted him expecting to hear we needed complete siding and roof replacement and he refused because after a thorough (and free) inspection he found those were not necessary. I believe many companies would have taken the job without hesitation. His free inspection included a detailed diagnostic report with recommendations. I will without a doubt be recommending this company and calling on them again when we need work done.

MRI are wonderful contractors. I called them about a water leak and they responded promptly. Mike came over right away, diagnosed the problem and immediately resolved it. Thank you, MRI!

MRI stands as a refreshing option among a slew of home improvement providers that too often prioritize margins over delivering a quality service experience. David Michaelson offers an approach to conducting business that is grounded by thorough engagement, candor and a desire to exceed client expectations. The process followed prior to and after the installation of our windows was a clear indication David is committed to customer satisfaction. And for that reason, MRI will be our vendor of choice for another round of window installations.

My clients and I had a great experience working with David Michaelson. He put new skylights and roof on their home which significantly increased the interest from buyers in this home for sale. The work was done very professionally and he worked with my sellers in a way that was a win/win for the buyers also. Great communication and follow up. The warranty transfers to the new owner, and the sellers got over list price for their beautiful, well-maintained home.

As a Realtor I try to connect with vendors that build relationships, not just try to make the sale. David & Michaelson Railey Improvements are the real deal, their wealth of knowledge & attention to detail comes through in what they do & that’s why they’re the only roofer I’ll recommend.

I absolutely trust this company and David Michaelson. He has taken care of several homes in our community and he is the first person we call when we need something done (or looked at) for our homes. Excellent Company, Excellent Responsiveness, Knowledgeable, Honest, and Kind! Everything you want when having to make decision for your home.

I’ve owned several homes over the past 54 years and have worked with many different contractors.

Without a doubt, Michaelson Railey Improvements stands out as the absolute best. From start to finish, they made me feel valued and taken care of like no other company has.
I needed a full roof replacement, and David Michaelson provided a more-than-fair price — nearly half of what one competitor quoted me! He also handled all communication with my insurance company, so all I had to do was file the initial claim and pay my $500 deductible.

The crew was professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. When they finished, my property was spotless — I could not find any debris or stray nails.

If you're considering a home improvement project, call this company! You won’t find better service, pricing, or professionalism anywhere else. Highly recommend!

MRI is an outstanding company to parter with. I have witnessed the passion and care that they have on their projects. Keeping the client informed throughout and after the project is completed. They check back to make sure the project has "Sealed and Healed", per the client's expectations.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

If you want exemplary service for roofing, look no further than Michaelson Railey Improvements!

After sustaining wind damage, we called David and he was out in less than an hour to our house. Throughout the insurance claim, David supported us through the process with meticulous detail and thorough knowledge of building code and restoration techniques.

We were able to get our whole roof replaced and covered by insurance due to David's help. The installation of the roof, sunroof, and gutter guards was quick, clean and impeccable.

We recently posted in a local Facebook group and David was very quick to respond on behalf of his company. We were in a situation where our homeowners insurance sent us a letter saying we were at risk of renewal if we didn’t resolve a few issues, mainly the roof. David was able to sneak us in to his busy schedule the very next morning and was very familiar with similar letters that have been going around. He not only inspected our roof in the entirety, but he was able to identify the issues pointed out in our home insurance letter right away and come up with a resolution at the same time. He was very thorough and professional and took the time to sit down and explain what his findings were which included detailed photos. Upon sharing the roof inspection report with our home insurance company, they actually said that the detail of the commentary within the report that aligned to the photos was probably the best that they have received - which it was less than 24 hours that our home insurance company renewed our policy upon the review.

Highly recommend, we’ll be using David and team for future roof items as it was such a smooth process to communicate and work with him.

MRI did a wonderful job replacing my roof. Worked with me on insurance, helped me coordinate with (two) HOA’s, and left my house and yard immaculate. Highly recommend.

They fixed a few things on our gutters that we didn’t know about and even helped the next door neighbor when they were on the roof. Very nice people!

David, and everyone on his team, was extremely professional, responsive, helpful, and provided high quality work at every step of replacing our roof and siding. David ensured we understood all the steps, costs, and options and provided thorough and transparent explanations. He always made sure we understood timing on each step and worked to coordinate with our schedules. He helped us navigate the complicated insurance environment and listened and really understood our needs. David was a pleasure to work with and made what could have been a very stressful process run very smoothly. And the end product looks amazing! We love the new exterior of our house!

Will definitely call these guys again if the need arises. They’re quick, professional, and went above and beyond. We had them install an attic fan and are definitely happy we went with them!

I admit...I can be a tough customer. My father was a General Contractor for many years when I was growing up. I had high standards for contractors, and believe Dave exceeded these standards. If you are looking for a normal NoVa contractor that will sign a contract do average work and not follow up, Dave is not for you. If you are looking for a contractor who will tell it to you straight, treat each project as if it were his own home, and stay with you every step of the way...Michaelson Railey Improvements is the way to go.

We met Dave because he just finished doing the roof for our neighbor. He took a look at our roof and had some concerns. He walked the roof and found numerous problems from wind and hail. He then walked the property, and found similar issues with the siding. He helped us through the Insurance claim from Day 1...It took over a year dealing with Insurance and he never left our side, or walked away. Now, thanks to Dave's keen eye and incredible work ethic and accountability...We have a new Roof AND new siding.

In fact, Dave has such a broad network of subcontractors, that he helped us install a batting cage in our back yard, and coming back again for another project shortly. One of the projects we thought about never went through based on his recommendations. Like I said, he is a straight shooter...won't just take a job for the sake of money. He told me he would be happy to complete the work, but asked if what we wanted was really worth the money, and came up with alternatives. Never met another contractor who is willing to give up a higher paying job for lower paying one because it was better for the customer.

I admit, I can be a notoriously picky customer! It is pretty safe to say if I have had Dave out for multiple projects, he will make anyone a happy customer.

I had some wind damage on our house that pulled off a couple rows of siding. I had estimates from 2,000-6,000.
I then had David come out for an estimate and he pointed out that there was no water barrier and it could not just be repaired to code. the entire house would need to be redone with new siding and water barrier.
David submitted this to our homeowners and followed the process all the way through so that we got our entire house with brand new siding for only our deductible of 1,000!!

top notch service and the house looks great! its even warmer/cooler because the now we had proper insulation and water barriers between the siding and house.
I would definitely recomend getting an estimate for your projects from Michaelson Improvements. He will shoot you straight and give you all the options.

I called MRI to do a roof inspection after we had some high winds come through. I didn't mention the roof was only a couple years old. David went on the roof, took pictures, and basically said the roof was in great shape and there wasn't much to worry about. I was impressed at how there was no pressure, no sales pitch, no hassle. We get people knocking on our door claiming to see damage from the ground, even when the roof was brand new! It was refreshing to have an honest assessment. David gave me peace of mind, that was most important

David and his skilled tradesmen are wonderful to work with. They did a thorough inspection of my problem and did a great job of coming up with the solution. I found the service to also be affordable.

I cannot recommend Michaelson Railey Improvements enough. I have been working with David for a few years, and he is one of the most professional people in the home improvement industry that I've ever worked with. He will always be upfront and honest about his recommendations, and is never trying to do something to make the most money possible. I have forwarded him to a lot of friends and family because I feel that strongly about working with David. Additionally his contractor, Yohan, does exceptional work and is a great guy.

Don't second guess working with them. Just because they are early on as a company doesn't mean you should discount the idea of working with them. I promise you will not be let down!

Always ensure you get a written contract that outlines the scope of work, timeline, and payment terms.

4. How to check if a roofing company is legit?
+-

Check if a roofing company is legit by verifying their business license, insurance, and local certifications. Look for memberships in professional associations, read customer reviews, and ask for recent project references. A legitimate company will be transparent and provide all documentation upon request.

5. How to choose a roofing company?
+-

When choosing a roofing company, consider their experience, customer reviews, warranty offerings, and quality of materials. Make sure they provide clear communication, detailed estimates, and a solid portfolio of completed projects. Local expertise is also a major advantage for understanding regional roofing needs.

6. How do you know if your roofing contractor is ripping you off?
+-

Warning signs that your roofing contractor might be ripping you off include vague contracts, pressure to pay large upfront deposits, lack of proper documentation, and unexplained price increases. Always ask for itemized estimates and written guarantees, and avoid contractors who avoid answering your questions directly.
