Douglas Marshall Cooper Associates is a full-service design and construction firm whose practice encompasses both new and existing buildings of residential and commercial use, as well as speculative housing and development. Mr. Cooper’s office is located in Pound Ridge, New York and includes a staff of himself, an associate partner, three assistants and a host of carpenters, masons, and laborers, in addition to various subcontractors that work on projects small to large. Douglas Marshall Cooper Associate’s roots are based in Construction, Design, Real Estate Investment and Development & Construction Management. Our portfolio includes a wide range of work across these fields. Our uniqueness comes from understanding what it is to be the Owner, the Developer and the Builder –- a trifecta that is evident in DMC Associate’s core portfolio of prestigious residential, commercial, and corporate projects. Douglas Marshall Cooper Associates, LLC...a solid track record. A powerful future.

"I wish I could give zero stars. We hired Douglas for a kitchen remodel which involved installing a kitchen island, pantry, and all the related plumbing and electrical work. The communication between Douglas and his carpenter was terrible. We submitted sketches and agreed upon the design for the cabinets which were meant to be overlaid. When the island arrived, the cabinets were inset which did not match the rest of the kitchen. In addition, the kitchen island has split and cracked at more than half of the joints. The pantry cabinet has split and areas of unpainted MDF are showing. We have needed to paint and touch up many of these spots. Regarding the plumbing, we have had multiple significant leaks from piping and tubing that the team installed. Water has leaked even through the floor and into the basement. Upon review from other plumbers, all have confirmed the parts used were cheap and of low quality, and the workmanship was subpar. After a major leak in the middle of the night, we reached out to Douglas and respectfully voiced our issues and complaints. He ignored us for a full month, and then instead of simply stopping by to take a look at the problems (which would have been the first major step to alleviating our frustrations), he responded in a despicable manner. He even included the following quote from his lawyer, He laughed saying that perhaps you lost your job (due to the CoronaVirus) and were probably scrounging for any money you could scrape up. Who would want to work with someone like this?"

"Please make the following no longer than 2000 characters: After experiencing several disappointing encounters with contractors in the past, I am grateful to have selected Mighty Dog Roofing, a Better Business Bureau (BBB) verified and certified contractor, for our recent roofing project, which was executed to our satisfaction. Mighty Dog Roofing distinguishes itself as a substantial entity equipped with appropriate tools and modern technologies for the job. Unlike smaller contractors that often rely on temporary and untrained installers, Mighty Dog employs a team of proficient and experienced roof installers. Their capacity to mobilize a sizable installation team facilitated the completion of our extensive roof replacement within a remarkably efficient two-day timeframe, preempting impending adverse weather conditions. Throughout the project, communication remained consistently professional. Particularly noteworthy was the dedication of Project Manager Damien Sheerin, who diligently kept me abreast of material procurement, preparatory measures, installation progress, and post-installation inspections. Damien, alongside on-site manager Roberto, exhibited commendable initiative in addressing an unforeseen chimney issue, coordinating prompt professional assessments and contributing to the reconstruction of the chimney's exterior housing. Upon project completion, Mighty Dog Roofing demonstrated a commitment to thoroughness by conducting a comprehensive cleanup. Damien's return visit the following morning for a final inspection underscored the company's attention to detail and dedication to client satisfaction. Furthermore, Mighty Dog Roofing presented a competitive and reasonable quotation, aligning favorably with comparative assessments of multiple contractors. While they may not offer the lowest prices, their pricing falls within a reasonable range. In conclusion, based on my positive experience, I wholeheartedly endorse Mighty Dog Roofing as a reputable and trustworthy roofing company. I am confident in recommending their services to my acquaintances and friends."

"Follow up to earlier review -JJP Contracting Jose and Brian are running a top tier business. I'm going to be totally honest with the people of Angi- We hired this team to perform a siding job and it originally didn't go well. They pulled down the pre-existing wood shingle siding that was rotted and installed new Siding on the home. When the siding first went up there was a defect that we all couldn't understand. We thought that it wasn't okay to leave it up but tried to see if the warmer weather would cause it to unbuckle. JJP stood by their words even months after the siding had been installed and came back to make the necessary fixes. I appreciate this more than the team knows because too often contractors are not true to what they say. This team is running an honest business that I can truthfully say that I trust. I look forward to discussing further projects with their group."

Wood shake or composite roofing installations and replacements FAQs

Cedar shakes and wood shingles might seem similar, but they have some important differences. Cedar shakes are hand-split, giving them a unique, textured appearance that adds rustic charm to your roof. They're great for homeowners who want a distinctive look. Wood shingles, conversely, are machine-made, providing a smooth, uniform appearance for a more modern look. Shakes tend to be more expensive due to the craftsmanship involved but offer exceptional beauty and resilience.

A well-maintained cedar shake roof can last up to 60 years. However, factors like severe weather and improper ventilation can reduce its lifespan. You should consider replacing your roof if you notice persistent leaks, visible water damage, curling or splitting shakes, moss growth, rot, or missing shakes. Regular inspections can help you determine when it's time for a replacement.

When hiring a roofing contractor for your cedar shake roof, asking the right questions is important. Make sure they are fully certified and have extensive experience with cedar installations. Verify that their team is licensed, bonded, and insured. Ask for details about the materials they use, such as the type of underlayment and fasteners, and how they ensure proper ventilation. Getting multiple written estimates can help you compare options and choose a contractor who offers quality workmanship at a fair price.
