Gutters direct rainwater and prevent structural damage. They vary in styles and materials and should be installed by a qualified contractor and maintained regularly.

By Vasilie Kukharchuk

When it comes to safeguarding your home, the importance of a well-designed and properly installed gutter system cannot be overstated. At Major Home Improvements, we understand that custom gutter installation is not just a functional necessity; it is also a vital component in preserving the integrity and value of your property. For homeowners in Western Massachusetts and Northern Connecticut, selecting the proper gutters requires careful consideration of style, material, and installation techniques, all of which contribute to effective water management and long-term durability. This guide aims to provide you with essential insights into the various options available, ensuring you make informed decisions that enhance your home.

Understanding the Importance of Gutters for Your Home

The primary function of gutters is to collect rainwater runoff from the roof and redirect it appropriately away from the property. This crucial system helps prevent potential damage to the structure and protects the walls beneath the foundation, ensuring the longevity and integrity of your home. Properly installed gutters play a vital role in maintaining the overall health of your property by managing water flow effectively.

Choosing the Right Gutter Style for Your Home

Customization is certainly achievable based on the style of your home. Homeowners can select from various gutter designs, including half-round gutters or standard case style options, such as the five-inch variety. Additionally, there is the six-inch case style, which is more aligned with commercial aesthetics. While a range of choices exists, the most frequently chosen types remain either case style or half-round gutters.

Choosing the Right Gutter Materials for Longevity and Value

Aluminum is the most common material used for gutters due to its practicality and long-lasting nature. Following aluminum, copper is the next popular option, although it tends to be more expensive. The lifespan of copper gutters can vary significantly, ranging from fifty to one hundred years, depending on the specific location and regional conditions.

Choosing the Right Gutter Style for Your Home

Upscale gutter installations often feature half-round gutters, primarily crafted from copper. Alternatively, box gutters, also known as box counters, can be utilized. This type resembles a larger funnel and leans towards a more commercial aesthetic. We also provide customized options, including half-round gutters, which are the optimal choice for many homeowners.

Choosing the Right Gutter Size and Style for Your Home

The dimensions of the house and roof determine the size and style of gutters. A larger roof necessitates a bigger gutter and a different style, as it will collect more water.

Measuring and Installing Custom Gutters

The first step in custom gutter installation involves measuring the house upon arrival. Next, the existing gutters are removed and recycled. A specialized machine, known as a gutter machine, is then used to roll out the new seamless gutter. For instance, if the required length is fifty feet, the machine will produce a seamless gutter measuring up to 50 feet and zero inches.

Concurrently, hangers should always be placed at least every three feet along the house. This process also includes determining the optimal location for the downspout. While there are various methods for hanging gutters and positioning downspouts, this approach is generally considered the most effective, taking into account both location and size.

Choosing the Right Contractor for Gutter Installation

Selecting the right contractor for gutter installation involves several key factors. Begin by reviewing customer feedback and understanding the company's history, specifically the length of time it has specialized in gutter services. The type of warranty offered, the materials used, and seeking referrals can also provide valuable insights. A company that has only been in business for a year may not deliver the best service. Proper gutter installation should last at least five years.

In the event of any issues, it is crucial to have a responsive contractor who can address problems promptly. Homeowners may invest a little more for a service that guarantees timely communication; a lack of response can lead to frustration from unanswered calls and unreturned messages. Our company has been in operation for over twenty years, entering its twenty-first year in April 2026. We offer a lifetime material warranty for our gutters, with a standard one-year labor warranty that can be extended to five years for larger projects. For significant undertakings, such as roof installations alongside gutter work, we can provide warranties ranging from five to ten years on the gutters. Currently, our reviews are all five stars across platforms like Google and Facebook, reflecting our commitment to customer satisfaction.

Safe Gutter Maintenance Practices

The most straightforward approach to installing gutter covers and gutter lip protection is quite direct. While this method can occasionally be on the pricier side, homeowners can effectively maintain their gutters by cleaning them during the fall and spring. However, this strategy carries inherent risks. Extreme caution is necessary; there have been numerous accounts of individuals sustaining serious injuries or worse while working on homes with ten-foot-high gutters. Therefore, exercising vigilance while performing this task is crucial.

Conclusion

Investing in custom gutter installation is a crucial step for homeowners looking to protect their properties from water damage and enhance their overall aesthetic appeal. By understanding the different styles, materials, and maintenance practices, you can select the best gutter system tailored to your home's unique needs. At Major Home Improvements, we pride ourselves on our extensive experience and commitment to quality, ensuring that your gutter installation not only meets but exceeds your expectations. Trust us to provide a seamless experience that prioritizes durability and customer satisfaction, safeguarding your home for years to come.

Robyn Wayrynen
I highly recommend this company. The salesperson, project manager, and/or owner were all present during our roof replacement. They had to coordinate work with our solar installers, and they were patient and attentive throughout the process. The new roof looks great!
JODY COMPTON
Major Home Improvement are true professionals. Robert came to our home and explained the process with detail and understanding. He was patient and kind with answering all our questions regarding our roof replacement. The day of the job, Dennis the site manager stayed throughout the entire process until the job was completed. All of the staff were friendly and respectful of our home. The site manager went over all work. He showed us pictures, and was very meticulous ensuring all remaining materials were removed and nothing left behind. The owner took time to introduce himself to us and ask about any concerns. Our family is very satisfied with the job, and would recommend this company to anyone.
Adam Burinskas
The owner was very knowledgeable, and he walked us through the entire process and all of our options. They worked with us finding a good time to do our roof, and it only took them one day to finish. The roof looks great.The owner sent me text updates throughout the day to let me know how it was going, and I got home just as they were finishing up. Dennis showed me everything that was done and made sure I was satisfied before they left. Everything was cleaned up before they left, and we are very happy with our new roof.
Candice Cuoco
These guys did a great job started promptly in the morning and completed at 2pm. The clean up was very well done.The project oversight and management was top of the line. The owner and the employees were very professional and polite. The roof and gutters look great very happy. Thank you Major Home Improvements!

From the moment I made contact to the last task performed I dealt with nobody who wasn't the most professional that they could be. The owner is pleasant and straight forward, the gentleman who priced the job was congenial and helpful with suggestions, the lead crew was very helpful, and the crew were awesome guys. It was a wonderful experience and I will always consider Major Home Improvement when I need work done in my house. I highly recommend this team.
Karin MacDonald
I called originally for an estimate for repair of flashing around my chimney. Robert also gave be a quote for doing the whole roof. The price was so reasonable I opted to do the complete roof. Everyone I’ve spoken to there have been very friendly and prompt. They were able to finance me through a very quick and painless process. The crew was very courteous. They were done in a day and cleaned up everything after.I was very pleased with the company from start to finish. They took the fear out of such a big undertaking.
Christian Jachym
We recently had them replace the roof, siding, and install a new front door on our home and we were not disappointed. From the beginning, Vasilie was prompt and attentive during the quote process, and did a great job in explaining in layman terms for me the exact timing, process, and products all of this would entail.Once they started, again they were on time, and were dependable. The overall jobs went according to plan and schedule, and the house is now leak free...and looks awesome! Thanks Major Home Improvements.
Derek Strahan
Major Home Improvements replaced our roof last summer. It was a great company to work with, the job was finished in just a day and a half, and we have had no issues with leaks or losing shingles since then. Highly recommend!
Jill Taylor
Vasiliy and his crew were wonderful ! They did exactly what they said they would do. Our new roof and gutters give our house street appeal ! Thank you . I would definitely recommend Major Home Improvements !
George Dupre
We had our garage roof done and rear porch windows replaced and they did excellent work .would definitely have them do work again for us
Larry Smolarz
We couldn’t be more pleased with the entire project, from start to finish. Vasille and his team are honest, very courteous and very professional. They are fast and clean in the services they provide! What sets them apart from others is their sincere customer care attitude. Vasille was always just a text or a call away to address any/all questions or concerns. We enthusiastically recommend Major Home Improvement to anyone wanting a new roof, siding, gutters, doors and windows.
Lisa Hraba
Major Home Improvements did a great job replacing my garage roof. Professional, good communication, thorough. I would definately work with them again.
Saad Mohammed
These guys did a great job changing my windows for me. They did the entire house, 19 windows, in less than 9 hours. They were very quick and professional, and cleaned the area they were working on after they finished. I highly recommend them!
karl dagenais
The crew did a real good job on the roof and gutters. They did it right and they did it fast. Dealing with Vasile was great. I wasn't home on the day the job was done but he kept me updated on the progress. I'm very happy and recommend this company.
Catherine Waddell
Major Home Improvements did a fantastic job replacing our old siding. Now the house looks like new. The whole team (owner, office manager, and the work crew) was very responsive and professional. Great product installed with craftsmanship and on time.
margaret sullivan
I had my roof done and gutters put on. It was getting near to snow flying so Vasile made sure to have plenty of workers there to get the job done in about 3 days. We have been very happy, everything looks great. I have since called him to do my mother's roof repaired. I would definitely recommend this company!
dave austin
Vasilie was great to deal with from start to finish. Great communication always returned phone calls and texts quickly. Dennis and his crew did a great job on my roof replacement. From start to finish in under eight hours.Vasilie gave me a fair and honest quote. He went above and beyond to make sure I was a satisfied customer which is very rare today. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Natasha Wright
I just had my roof replaced by Mr. Vasilie's crew in Feeding Hills, and I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out.I had received several quotes before reaching out to Major Home Improvements (the overwhelming amount of 5 star reviews did it for me). Mr. Vasilie himself came to my home and impressed me with a presentation on his tablet which explained every step in the roofing process. Not only did he gave me a considerably lower quote than the other companies I called, he was also wonderfully pleasant, funny, and patient. He spoke frankly with me and didn't give off the slimy salesman vibe. He is definitely the kind of person you want to give your business to.The crew arrived early, worked hard on removing three layers of shingles, and cleaned up beautifully. You wouldn't even know that shingles, wood, and nails were being ripped up from the way that they managed the waste. They picked up the nails with magnets and kept the shingle waste contained with tarps. They reattached my downspout extenders after they were done working. Everything was back in its place, just like they had found it. Mr. Vasilie met with me at the end of the service to make sure everything was in order. It was well worth the money for the peace of mind in having a roof that wasn't slapped together by a bunch of monkeys over many decades of cheap homeowners and amateur contractors.I'm hoping I won't need another roof anytime soon, but if I can go through Mr. Vasilie for any other home projects, I most definitely will.
Alexander Matvejuk
Amazing work. They were done super quick and we didn't have to supervise or worry about any debris left behind. Great quality work and we don't have to worry about rain anymore! Such a load off. Definitely reccomend them!
Marina Garbuz
It is hard to find a trustworthy company who delivers on what they promise and for a great price! We recently had our roof changed by Vasily and his crew and are happy to say he exceeded our expectations. Not only was he very thorough in his initial meeting, where he clearly outlined the cost breakdown and made sure we chose the best roof for our home, but his crew was efficient, on time, professional and they made sure the surrounding areas were clean when they left. We are very happy with the finished look and will recommend his services to everyone!
Paula Rigano-Murray
Vasilie was quick to respond. His wife called me back within minutes of leaving a message to set up an appointment and within 48 hours he was at my house writing an estimate. The crew working quickly and responded to everything I asked, even removing an old antenna for me. Vasilie showed up halfway through the day to make sure things were going well and that I was happy. He followed up with a phone call later that night. Clean up was amazing. I expected to find much more small debris in my yard than I did. I waited until several days of rain had passed to write this review. It is beautiful, functional and water tight! I would definitely recommend.4/22 Postscript: I went out on my balcony and noticed some nails sticking through the roof. I called Vasile and he immediately returned my call and came the next day to cut them. While there, he also offered to to touch up the paint if I had it. This is a man and a company that stand behind and take pride in their work!
Kevin Spencer
A crew of four completed my roof in one day. Unbelievable. They did an outstanding job, above and beyond. They also cleaned up and left my property even cleaner than they found it. Communication was excellent. At one point, the owner Vasillie showed up and introduced himself. Later that day, the salesman Robert even made an appearance to check on things. This firm just blew me away. Don't let all these 5 star reviews ignite your suspicions that they could be fake. They are for real.Thank you, MHI.
Courtney Turner
This is one outstanding roofing company! Only one day to reshingle my whole house from start to finish! This included stripping, underlayment, shingleing, and complete cleanup. Amazing!! Vasili, Dennis, Robert and the work crew are a hard working, proffesional and outstanding team of tigers! This company is unbeatable
Damien Murray
Major Home Improvements have just finished putting new roofs on our house and garage, and we highly recommend them to anyone who needs a new roof. We are very happy with the work they've done. In addition to being courteous and professional, Vasilie takes the time to explain everything that his crew does and is happy to answer any questions you have. His crew are wonderful and left our property spotless. They also fixed some extra problems for the same price. We will definitely do business with him again.
Chuck J
Our house is going through the 30 year fix me stage. My daughter and son-in law had Major Home Improvements put a roof on their home. They recommended that we use them for anything on our house. I had them replace all my windows and a deck slider. The crew of Ivan and Stephan were very professional, clean, quick and very polite. It took them 2 days to do the installs. Vasilie was great to work with. Very accommodating! I told him and his crew that they made me proud of my house once again. Like they say, Don't move, improve!" I will definitely have them back for my door projects!!! Thank you guys!!!!!!
Craig Marengo
Great quality work, quick response time, pricing is good, very professional will use again.
Brooke
What an amazing company to work with as Vasilie made us feel like we were a priority. We received a quick and fair estimate on the spot and had our entire roof, siding and basement windows done in less than a week. Extremely reliable and attentive with his communication and explanations. High quality work competed in an efficient time frame. We cannot recommend this company enough!
Michael Lamontagne
Vasili and his crew from Major Home Improvements did a great job repairing my roof. They explained the product, showed up on time, and made sure they didn't leave any mess behind. I recommend them and will definitely call them back if I need work done in the future.

Lisa Cooper
Major Home Improvement did a great job on my roof, soffits, fascia and gutters with specialized gutter guards , windows and slider installation. Vasili the owner was great from the signing of the contract til the completion of the work. I was amazed at how attentive Vasili was to my multiple questions. He readily answered and returned my calls rather quickly and came by mostly every time his crew was here performing to make sure I was happy with their work. The crew did a wonderful job. Thanks Vasili and the Major Home Improvement!
Belinda Buckley

Yelena Servetnik
Great job Vasilie! Thank you very much for being friendly and helpful. Everything was very professional. Fair price, amazing work, no stress at all.

Thanks again.
Dennis D
One word describes dealing with Vasilie and the Major Home Improvement team. 'WOW'.From start to finish my roof replacement was handled in a professional, customer service oriented manner.Vasilie visited my home 3 times and answered many questions that my wife and I had, before a contract was signed. He understood that previous bad dealings with a contractor made me uneasy about dealing with one again. He did everything he could to make us feel at ease.His price was fair, the work was done on schedule and it looks great.I would not hesitate to recommend Major Home Improvements to anyone. They truly deserve the 5 star rating.
Richard Shepardson
Professional high quality company. The workers came early to the job, hard working, clean and honest. The roofing job is of the highest quality. The company did exactly what they said they would do. Vasilie/, the owner is honest and considerate. They cleaned up the debris and our home is now secure. I want to emphasize the kindness and professional honesty and character of this company. We would hire this company again without hesitation and recommend them unequivocally.
Diran Adjoyan
I am more than happy with the new roof I had installed with Major Home Improvement. The crew showed up on time, 8:00 am, worked non-stop and finished by 6:00 pm, amazing. Couldn't ask for more, quality work for the right price. If you are looking to replace your roof look no further. Vassili is a super guy, professional, honest and understanding of your needs.
Nesster64 .
Our roof started leaking on Sunday night, by that Friday of the same week we had new roof. Vasille (the owner) was very detailed about the work he would be doing, very polite and professional. During a busy end to the roofing season, he was able to fit us in his schedule and get it done incredibly quick. Would definitely recommend!!
Bruce McMahon
My neighbor had hired Major Home Improvements to install a new roof. I was able to watch the professional installers complete his roof in one day doing an outstanding job. It was time for me to consider a new roof so we met with Vasalie to discuss price, type of shingle, warranty etc... this was a no pressure presentation professionally done. The quote was fair with a 3 week time line for installation. Everything came as promised, the materials arrived a day in advance and the work began on the date and time that was quoted. Outstanding workmanship by a professional group of installers. Clean-up was meticulously done. I would not hesitate to use or recommend Major Home Improvements for any projects. Well done!
Neil Larsen
Excellent job! The crew was hard working and very skilled. We have an older house that had many layers of old roofing - all was stripped to bare wood - and they kept the area very clean. The roof is a bit complicated, steep in sections with dormers and nearly flat in other areas where we had rubber roofing installed. The fit-and-finish of the roof looks great. They also added features to the improve ventilation and the flashing. This company is easy to work with, competitively priced, and delivers on their promises.
Robert Campbell
Replaced leaking roof, did a very good job.
Jeanne Dubuque
We had a wonderful experience with Major Home Improvements. They were very thorough and professional and the roof looks great. Vasily, the owner, was very nice to work with.
michael cooley sr
Vasilli and his crew were the best. He was patient and knowledgeable and just so polite. The roof was done in a day. Vasilli and his project manager, Dennis, were there and he has the best work crew ever. The mess was cleaned up as they went along and after, they went over the lawn several times with a giant magnet to make sure all the nails were picked up. They were the friendliest bunch and they cared about the dog not getting hurt. I would recommend Vasilli to anyone who asks and hand out his business cards. His price and quality were on point with no unexpected issues. Our roof looks awesome. Thank you.Mike and Randy Cooley
Mollie G
Thank you for all of your help! They explained the work to me in a way I could understand, were efficient and professional. Would definitely recommend this company to anyone who needed roof work done. A+++++++
David Elia
I am a carpenter and generally do all my own projects on my house because I do very good work and it's hard to find a contractor I can trust to do the job right, at a level that I will be happy with. I am very satisfied with the work by Major Home Improvements. They put vinyl siding on our house and wrapped the trim with aluminum. It looks beautiful, and all of our neighbors have been stopping by and telling us how much they love it!From the estimate through completion, Vasilie was very pleasant to work with, prompt with communication and easy to get in touch with. Ilona, in the office, was also very helpful and very quick to return our calls. The crew was really nice and did a great job, it was nice having them around. I absolutely would recommend Major Home Improvements, they do quality work, with attention to the details, at a very good price!
Jason Duford
Very good people and awesome work definitely would recommend them for roofs and any other jobs!
Carlotta Perrone
Excellent communication from start to finish. During the initial meeting, owner Vasilie Kukharchuk provided technical details about the CertainTeed roofing system he installs and thoroughly described all costs and how the work and cleanup would be done. His crew was professional, courteous, and for a roof job, surprisingly quiet, with little disruption. The crew worked cleanly, replacing the entire roof, skylight and gutters in one day. Vasilie addressed my concerns about the more vulnerable sections of the roof, adding a gutter on the upstairs dormer where one did not previously exist. This worked to eliminate splash back and will also allow winter ice build-up to melt into the gutter instead of running down the siding. The dormer downspout even matches the color of the shingles! Love the new solar skylight, whisper quiet and air tight. Not so easy to find a roofer who will do skylights. Roof looks gorgeous. I can absolutely recommend Major Home Improvements, great workmanship, competitive price, honest people.
Craig Savoie
Friendly, professional, affordable, communicates well, educated me, worked to get me best deal...after job done place was clean..,..five stars

Would highly recommend this company for your home improvements. Fast and professional. We had our roof, siding, gutters and a few windows done. Vasilie and his crew were great.

MHI did a great job on our roof, in cold-weather conditions. Vasilie is very responsive and keeps an open line of communication throughout the process, to quickly address any concerns you may have. It is clear they take great pride in their work.
Amit Thakkar
I've my roof replaced by Major Home improvements. Right from the first call to the finish of the project, Vasillie and his boys handled the project very professionally and did an excellent job. After comparing three different quotes, I found them to be most competitive and Vasillie spend good amount of time upfront explaining the scope of work which helped a lot. They used top of the line Oven Corning products and his team worked diligently without cutting any corners. They certainly exceeded my expectation.
Corey Hoppers ijpl AQ
I called on a Wednesday they came out on Friday to give an estimate for the job and the following Monday the job was done. Very pleased with the quality of work and how they conduct themselves in a professional manner. I Highly recommend them for home improvement projects!

Leah Kaira
I got my roof done early July 2016. Major home did exactly what they said they would do. I am very impressed with the quality of work done and the timely completion. They did not leave any trash. The cleaning up was as good as the roofing itself! If anyone wants professional work at a reasonable price, major home is the company to call.
Matthew Stinson
Outstanding work! Professional and prompt!! I have had nothing but great experiences with Major Home Improvements. They did a great roof for me and will also take on smaller jobs.
Marc Pasteris
If I could give more then 5 stars I would! From the start everything went smoothly. Abdul came out, explained the entire process to us. Showed us the materials and explained job from start to finish. The next day the owner, Vasilie stopped by to explain the process again. That is unheard of these days! He made sure we knew what he and his team were doing. The next day his team showed up and started to work. They had stripped our roof down to trusses and re-shingled it in 2 days! The quality of the work was unbelievable. I would recommend anybody who is looking for a quality roof to contact Major Home Improvements!!
Stephanie Maigret
My husband, Mark, and I called Major Home Improvements when we had a leak in our roof. Vasille, the owner, came to our house to give us an estimate. He showed us a presentation on the company and the products they use. We decided to use his company, especially since they offer financing and their prices were comparable to other estimates we had gotten. Vasille came and met with us a second time to set up the financing and helped us select the color we wanted for our roof. The rate we got was comparable to what our bank could offer us as well. His team was able to complete our roof a couple of days before thanksgiving. The job took a total of one and a half days. The workers were constantly cleaning up after themselves. Vasille came to our house each day his crew was working on our roof and also came the day after to meet with us and go over everything they had done and make sure we were happy with it. Our roof looks great and we feel very confident that we will not have to deal with anymore roof leaks! we highly recommend Major Home Improvements to our family and friends!
Alex Glib
This is a great company for roofing. Very knowledgeable in the subject and was willing to explain all the different options available for us. The work was also done very professionally. Would definitely use them again for any other house projects.
Sara Johnston
Vasilie and his team are amazing! Had my roof replaced in the snow and frigid temps. The crew showed up early every day. Very professional and clean. Vasilie thoroughly explained the process step by step. He also checked in with us daily to make sure we were happy. I highly recommend Major Home Improvements! Thank you so much, Vasilie!
sarah cote
We had our roof and gutters done by Major Home improvements this summer and it went great! The most professional, caring owner- and crew of any company we had met with. We had a torrential rain storm today, and an old cast iron vent pipe that was was sealed with a rubber seal was not met flush (due to years of wear on the pipe, it was uneven- not the roofers fault) and a few drops of water from the rain began to come in around the corroded pipe. We called Major Home improvements and let them know, and within 25 mins Vasille the owner, was on our roof resealing the old pipe!This company's customer service, and professionalism outweighs the rest by a long shot.Thanks!
Thomas M. Kubas
We needed a new roof and I am sure glad we found Major Home Improvements. I interviewed several other companies and we chose Major Home Improvements above the others. The job was done very well and on time and very professionally. Vasilie the owner not only stopped by several times a day to check on his crew, he got up on the ROOF to make sure the crew was installing the roof not only to my satisfaction (the homeowner) also making sure the roof was being installed to his strict procedures. We are very satisfied. Thanks Job Well Done.

Amazing Experience! Vasiliy did a wonderful job with my new home. Him and his employees are very professional!! I recommend everyone to use their services. Vasiliy is easy to communicate with and he knew exactly what needed to be done with our home!
Alicia Santanella
Vasilie was incredibly friendly and professional from the first moment we met him. Getting a new roof was our first major home improvement project and we were nervous about the process and the cost. Vasilie walked us through all of our options and all of the costs associated with the replacement so that there were never any surprises. His crew started first thing in the morning and finished replacing our roof (plywood and shingles) all within the same day. He kept my husband updated on the progress throughout the day and by the next morning our yard was completely clean and our new roof looked amazing. After it was all said and done we were very pleased with the work and the final cost. There is no doubt that we would work with Major Home Improvements again and recommend them to our friends and family!

After receiving many quotes to install our new roof, we chose Major Home Improvements because of what they said they would do and the price given. Ivan arrived at our house twice to work with us. He was personable, and strived for our satisfaction. Before the job started, the owner came to the house and took the time to talk to us. Again, personable and strived to meet our wants and needs. The job was completed in a day, just as they said. My property was completely cleaned. We were left with a beautiful roof with a lifetime warranty! Even the neighbors are already stopping by to tell us how beautiful it looks. Major Home Improvements offers great customer service, and uses the best shingles on the market.

I needed a full roof done, there was a part of a flat roof that was leaking for years, when they pulled plywood it was a mess. The owner Vasilie K , from Major Home Improvements came gave me a very competitive price and did the job on the day as he said he would. He was such a pleasure to work with from the start to the end, he showed me the entire process and took time to explain every detail. These guys worked fast and cleaned up all the mess. I am very satisfied with the job and the warranty that came with work.

We recently hired Major to replace our roof, and we were not disappointed. The owner, Vasilie, came out to our home for an estimate. He showed up on time, and immediately took a walk around the exterior to obtain measurements. Afterwards, we had a conversation inside, where Vasilie told us about his company, the kinds of roofs we could install, when and how it would be done, and answered our questions. It was a no-pressure pitch, very professional, and very thorough. It was long enough that it answered all of our questions, but not so long that it wasted our time. Scheduling was very easy. When we had availability we called Vasilie, and he was able to schedule us about a week later. The work was completely done in only one day. The crew showed up early, stripped the roof, put a new one on, and worked until it was done. Cleanup was very good. We found a few things here and there in the yard but nothing major. Also, we wanted to put a Cupolla on top of the garage. This was not an issue. Vasilie installed it himself and it came out looking great. The price: not the cheapest but far from the most expensive, however by far the best value. Everything was great from estimate to completion. We will absolutely call Major Home Improvements in the future.

After an initial roofing quote from another company (quote was high, employee was brief and not very helpful), we decided to call Major Home Improvements due to the many homes they had done on our street. After our call, the owner (Visilie) was at home our within a day or so. Visilie worked to make sure we knew all of our options, and were given a fair price and communicated very well from start to finish. As young, first time homebuyers we could not have been more appreciative. His crew began work within a week of his initial visit, and did a fantastic job. When we ran into some structural trouble, one of Visilie’s workers came up with a great solution and once he had Visilie’s approval, the work was expertly done and the price for the extra work was very fair. Visilie made sure to stop by the house multiple times each day (on a Saturday and Sunday, nonetheless) to ensure the work was going well. He even came by later on Sunday evening to ensure we were satisfied and to make sure clean up went well. Our new roof looks fantastic, the extra structural work was done very well and in good time, and the cleanup was great. Honest, professional, trustworthy, fair, best contractor experience we have ever had. Took a lot of time to examine the roof prior to quote, answered all of our questions and made great recommendations. Went out of their way to ensure we were satisfied with the work. Would strongly recommend to family and friends.

Major Home improvements just finished replacing my entire roof. Major is the first contractor I can recall that finished the job on time and on budget. Vasille is a great guy, honest and sincere. I obtained many estimates; his prices were the most competitive and products ts superior. I would highly recommend him. thanks for a wonderful new roof Vasille. (They cleaned up after the job so thoroughly my property looked nicer than it did before they came.)Sincerely,Dave S.

The owner, Vasilie, was prompt, polite, and gave me a solid estimate for the repair and replacement of my porch roof shingles after years of water damage and shoddy original construction work. Every scrap of shingle was removed from the grounds - all that's left is my sharp-looking new roof. When it's time to replace the main roof, I will be calling Vasilie to do the work.Update - 5/2019. So it was time to replace my main roof, and I gave Vasilie a call. Out of the three companies I called, he called back *immediately*, while the other two tooks weeks of chasing and phone tag to nail down an estimate. He showed up to my house 2 days after calling to give me an estimate. While it wasn't the lowest quote, we were able to negotiate a price based on the quality of the shingles, the length of warranty, and the quality of Vasilie's previous work on my porch roof. Work was completed in the estimated two days, all nails and scrap material was removed, and my roof looks great!

We had a damaged roof on our queen Anne style home and need to replace it. We have a round turret that is very unique and the first thing you see driving up the street. We searched locally for all kinds of roofers and contracts and everyone turned us down because it was a tough job and not many people have ever seen this type of roof let alone worked on one. When we contacted major home improvements they called us back within an hour and made an appointment to give us a quote. We were so exited that not only Vasilie had accepted this incredibly tough job but it was extremely affordable. We couldn't be happier. We were a few hours away and Vasilie and his crew traveled here just to help us out, we were honestly amazed after being turned down so much I have never experienced such good genuine customer care before. So within 2 weeks of our quote the material and the crew were here and the crew was amazing they came in and had it demoed in an hour and basically finished in one day. the crew was very nice, genuine and very considerate. Vasilie had also traveled multiple times just to make sure we were satisfied. A couple guys came back a second day just to touch things up and make sure it was perfect! They kept things clean and my home looks amazing. Major home improvements did what nobody else could, and my family and neighbors are extremely satisfied. I highly recommend this company I will be calling them for more improvements.

We have a colonial with 2 car attached garage that was badly in need of a new roof. I had obtained several high estimates, including one from a well-known box store and another from a local company that advertises heavily on television. In town, I noticed a large house having a roof and siding installed by Major Home Improvements. I contacted Vasilie Kukharchuk for an estimate for a new roof. Vasilie was honest and knowledgeable in assessing the condition of our roof. He explained the variables used to determine the price for a new roof, including: size and pitch, accessibility, and the cost of materials. He indicated that after the tear-off, he would assess the condition of the plywood and 2x4s. Vasilie discussed the required flashing methods and lumber options to use for fascia boards and cited details about the technology of a new roof. Lastly, Vasilie stated the warranty and gave me a fair, competitive estimate. Shingles and materials arrived the day before construction. The crew began work at 7:30 a.m. They are an experienced and cohesive crew who worked efficiently and quickly together throughout a very hot summer day with temperatures soaring to 93 and humidity of 96%. Before stripping off old shingles, the crew ensured that our windows were closed. They attached drop cloths over the gutters so the removal of old shingles did not damage clapboards, windows, or foundation plantings. Once the old roof was torn off, Vasilie determined that we needed numerous replacement sheets of plywood and 2x4s. Even after that determination was made, Vasilie continued to stop by and oversee the progress of the new roof. The crew was extremely hard-working. Throughout construction, one crewman was dedicated to clean-up. Gutters and downspouts were cleared with a leaf blower. After the roof was installed, the cleaner walked the perimeter of the house with a large magnet to attract stray nails. Despite needing replacement sheets of plywood and 2x4s, the roof was completed in 1.5 days. The professional installation of our solid, warrantied roof adds to our energy efficiency and curb appeal. More importantly, our new roof will keep our home dry and warm against the elements and hardships of Mother Nature in Western Mass. Thank you, Vasilie and crew, for a professional, expertly-constructed new roof! We heartily endorse Major Home Improvements for any roofing needs.
Laura Clifford
We were very impressed with Vasilie and his crew. Prior to putting on our new roof, Vasilie sat down with us and gave us a detailed explanation on the whole process and the materials that they used. The crew removed two layers of shingles and replaced the roof in one day at a competitive price. They were neat and efficient and we love the look of our new red (terra cotta) roof! We ended up hiring Major Home Improvements to replace 2 entry and 3 storm doors for us the same week. Once again, we were very pleased with the quality and efficiency of the work which was completed in less than 5 hours. We heard about Major Home Improvements from a friend in West Springfield and recommend them for any home projects you may have. They are also local.
Rick Caldbeck
I called Major Home Improvements when I found evidence of ice dams leaking into the attic. During his initial visit and throughout the proposal process, owner Vasilie Kukharchuk walked me through all the details and offered many suggestions on a variety of different topics (e.g. ice & water blocking materials, types of shingles, ridge vents vs gables, warranties). He never pushed any particular solution, only looking to make sure I understood my options and received the products & services most appropriate.After settling on a fair price, the materials arrived the day before and I discovered that some were even better quality than what we had selected! The team of workers arrived at 7am and went non-stop until mid-afternoon, with Vasilie checking in several times to be sure all was going to my satisfaction. After finishing, the crew spent a lot of time cleaning up and collecting all discarded scraps & nails. The roof looks great and I would recommend Major Home Improvements to anyone looking for a fair & honest roof repair company.

We very recently had our roof replaced by Major Home Improvements. Vasilie Kukharchuk (the business owner) was very professional and knowledgeable. He arrived promptly for our initial meeting, walked the property with me, answered all of my questions and provided an estimate for the work on the spot. Vasilie's crew arrived right on time to start the job and were very professional as well. We have a HEAVILY landscaped property and the crew was extremely careful to minimize any damage to plants and shrubs. The job was finished right on time and we are VERY happy! There were no high pressure sales gimicks and the entire process was stress free. The guys did a fantastic job cleaning up and you would never know they had been here (except for the beautiful new roof!). We would highly recommend this company without reservation. We're considering having some window work done with them next as we were so pleased with the roofing job. Thanks again Vasilie and Major Home Improvements!!!!Steven DethloffMonson, MA
