    They were very neat!  Here's the crew gathering and collecting debris from the tear off of the old roof.
    Topher C.

    Every single time it rains, we do a little dance at home -- not really for the much-needed rain, but rather for our new roof. We couldn't be more pleased with the work by Collins Roofing. I was immediately impressed by Michael Collins when I met him. You know how you just know right away when someone's a good egg? I knew immediately that Michael would be solid in the running for our job, and that it would be a pleasure working with him. He showed up punctually for our first meeting, took thorough notes, was very clear about how he would proceed and what to expect of him and his crew, and his office provided a thorough and substantive estimate quickly. We had a number of bids, and while his was one of the pricier ones, it also came with the most significant warranty. It also seemed evident that his workmanship would stand up to that longer-lasting warranty. One thing to keep in mind is that because they're good, they book up quickly, especially as the rainy months start to draw near. If your work can hold off and fit into their schedule, you will be glad you waited. Remember, there may be a lull in between the time you "pull the trigger" (signing the contract), and the start of your project. Be patient through this lull because there's really no need to gab. Of course, if you *do* have something to discuss, or have questions, they'll happily answer. Otherwise, you can expect a rapid increase in the communications as things gear up. You'll choose your shingles, any gutters and colors, and such. The week before work started, the Collins team ensured that a port-a-potty was delivered for use by their crew for the duration of the project. The team started to arrive before the noted start time, but were considerate and respectfully quiet for our neighbors. Work began punctually when we expected it to. Sometimes you don't know how good something is until you experience the difference. We were seriously spoiled by the Collins Roofing team, and now appreciate not just their punctuality and work ethic, but how much they enjoy their work. They enjoy being around each other, and when people are respected, appreciated, and enjoy their work, it shows in the results. One of the photos I'm attaching to this review shows the detached shed which was also re-roofed. It was here that I witnessed a prime example of their commitment to quality. After the flashing was in place, I saw one crewmember run his finger over the corner several times. Barely perceptible from where I was standing (and the angle where I shot the subsequent photo), there was a slight imperfection in the way the edges met. I could hardly see it, and only knew that something was there by the attention he was giving to it. After running his fingers over the corner a number of times, he choose to remove it and re-do it. How does the saying go? "Character is how you behave when you think no one is watching." During the course of the work, the Collins crew found a fair amount of previous damage, and rather than just work over it, they described options to repair the damage on a time and materials basis. This is where a shady contractor can gouge you; but despite the nearly two extra days of work added to remove and recover from the previous shoddy work, the add-on cost was shockingly reasonable. I cannot say enough good things about this business, and am only sorry that I have but one roof to replace.

I emailed a few companies with great reviews and the owner (Arcenio) of Leon Brothers Roofing not only replied quickly but he came out the next day (a rainy Christmas Day) to make the actual repairs. He shared pics with me of the roof damage and the work he did to patch it up, and said I'd need a roof replacement within a year. I subsequently contacted Arcenio last spring and got two other bids for replacing the roof; Leon Brothers came in at the lowest price. Even with additional work needed underneath the actual shingles, I saved $4-$5,000 over the next lowest bid. Most importantly, I was very pleased with the crew, the cleanup and the communication from Arcenio and his workers. They were diligent, stayed on schedule, and worked with my construction crew and painters to coordinate the work in the optimal manner. I cannot say enough good things about this company and highly recommend them!

After replacing the boards, the showed us the pictures again and kept us updated. They also helped us replace some of the fascia that was rotten. Overall, their team is efficient and they tried their best to keep us updated throughout the process. There was a lot of debris as they removed the old roof, but they did a very good job cleaning up the areas around the house. One of the electrical circuits blew out during the process, but Apollo sent one of their electricians to ensure that it was fixed. Of course, the roof is one of those things where only time can tell, but we are hopeful that our new roof will last us quite some time!

Before making our decision, we received estimates from several roofing companies. After carefully comparing them, we chose Apollo Roofing Company because of their professionalism, excellent communication, high-quality materials, fair pricing, and genuine commitment to customer satisfaction. Looking back, it was absolutely the right decision. From the very beginning, Matti and Luis took care of us from A to Z, making the entire project completely stress-free. Their communication was exceptional--they kept us informed every step of the way, answered every question promptly, and made sure we were comfortable with every decision. Having project managers who truly care about their customers makes all the difference. One thing that really stood out was Apollo's commitment to using high-quality materials. You can tell they don't cut corners. Knowing that premium products were being used gave us complete confidence that our new roof was built to last. Even better, their pricing was very reasonable considering the premium materials and exceptional workmanship they provide. The value they deliver is truly outstanding. The workmanship exceeded our expectations. The new roof looks absolutely beautiful, and every detail was completed with professionalism and precision. In addition to replacing the roof, they also professionally removed our old chimney, and you would never know it was ever there. The finished result is seamless and looks like it was part of the original design. Another major improvement was converting our Dutch gutters into a standard gutter system. Originally, we only planned to replace the gutters on the converted Dutch gutter section. However, after seeing the incredible quality of their workmanship, we were so impressed that we decided to replace all of the remaining gutters as well. That decision alone speaks volumes about the confidence Apollo earned throughout the project. The crew worked efficiently, respected our home, kept the job site clean every day, and paid close attention to every detail. From the roof installation to the chimney removal and gutter replacement, everything was completed to an exceptionally high standard. A huge thank you to Matti and Luis for taking such great care of us throughout the entire project. Their professionalism, honesty, responsiveness, and dedication to customer satisfaction truly set Apollo Roofing Company apart. They made what could have been a stressful home improvement project feel easy from beginning to end. If you're looking for a roofing company that offers reasonable pricing, premium materials, exceptional craftsmanship, outstanding communication, and first-class customer service, look no further than Apollo Roofing Company. They have absolutely earned our trust and every one of these 5 stars. We would recommend them without hesitation to our family, friends, and neighbors.

He clearly explained what was necessary versus what was optional, and I never felt upsold. When additional issues came up, including the need to replace roof decking before the shingles could go on, Israel reached out immediately. Even with that added scope, the total cost still ended up roughly in line with the next lowest bid, which had not included decking. He also went above and beyond on a skylight repair by having his crew prime the interior area to make things easier for the next crew. To top it off, when the job was done, Israel walked the roof with me and explained everything that had been completed. All around, this was an ideal contractor experience.

When I was climbing around on the roof installing Christmas lights I saw its condition and realized it needed replacing. I contacted IBR and German came out quickly to take a look and shared some initial observations, along with some preliminary options. A few days later he sent estimates on each option, clear and straightforward. I opted for the larger job of taking off the existing shingles--even though it was the first layer--and replacing any plywood as needed. I could have just had them put shingles on top of the existing roof but decided to go for the completely new roof, for peace of mind. I also added a skylight to the job, and German answered all my questions about the product details and costs. German and Israel responded quickly to questions, and communication throughout the job was great. The crew started on a Monday morning at 8am and finished by late afternoon on Tuesday. They even worked around my Christmas lights that were still in place! Overall I was super pleased with their work and the finished results. Fyi, payment is a $1000 deposit, half of the the amount upon starting and the rest on completion. City permit fees are extra.

(As well as we wanting to adhere to the true aesthetic style of clean lines and edge profiles) We received 5 quotes and chose Equinox Roofing and we are glad we did. They were not necessarily the cheapest, but the price was competitive, they had a well outlined proposal, great reviews, and there were not any big surprises throughout the process that were not in line with what was outlined in the proposal. Ben, Abel (as the PM) and the entire crew were professional, responsive and worked rapidly to replace the roof in-between rainstorms that surprisingly popped up unannounced on the forecast. They resculpted previously problematic drainage areas through thoughtful insulation techniques that led to improved drainage flow and removed ponding issues that were there with the previous old roof. They also did a great job cleaning up at the end of each day. My wife and I are in the design industry, so we can be overly picky and there were a few tweaks we asked them to do throughout the process - which they did without any hesitation. You can tell they care about their craftmanship. Highly recommend Ben and the Equinox Roofing team.

I was told that the temporary fix would definitely get me through this season but not the next and the permanent fix would last until I get a new roof. I was considering getting a new roof, which they knew about, and provided a quote for, so I paid for the temporary fix only. The very next day it rains and it's clear the "fix" didn't work. I ask them to return and actually fix the leak this time so they come back and haphazardly throw some more tar on the roof. It doesn't rain for another 2 weeks but the moment it starts raining, the leak shows up again. This time when I ask them to come back, I'm told I need to sign a contract with them to replace the entire roof and that there are no refunds for the faux leak repair. CROOKS! Don't waste your money. Pay someone who knows what they're doing. Not this inexperienced father and son duo who will cheat you out of your money. Edit to address business response: I am thoroughly disappointed that you claim to state facts in your response. I was told specifically that the temporary fix would "100% resolve the leak". I was told the cause of leak was evident and the temporary fix would prevent leakage for the rest of this rainy season. I was given two options for repair - neither of which involved a full roof replacement. I was told the more expensive "repair" would last until I decided to replace my roof. I chose the less expensive option since I did intend on replacing the roof at some point. When your claims about the repair turned out to be false, you came a second time and explained why the temporary fix was inadequate. You then explained how the remediation performed that day would "absolutely fix the problem". This has nothing to do with the structural integrity of my roof or its age. There was no indication that the roof needed to be replaced immediately. The home water heater was recently updated and replaced. The area around its exhaust vent was likely damaged during replacement causing the leak immediately above the water heater. If you provided facts at the time of repair I would not be upset about your work and tactics. I was told the leak would be stopped with your repair. Period. It was not. I guess you get what you pay for. What made this worse was that you then tried to make me sign a contract for a FULL roof replacement locking me into your low quality services. Why on earth would I allow you to do anymore work on my roof when you lied to my face about the leak and your workman quality is clearly subpar? You also offer no kind of guarantee on your work so the risk is too high.

    They might be fine for new roofs but don't call them for repairs. Danny came out to inspect our…read moreroof and immediately recommended a new roof. He didn't offer an option for repair until I asked and instead went straight into discussing shingle colors and availability. Typical sales scare tactics were used like telling us a leak was from condensation due to the lack of ridge vents. We have gable vents and so does every other house on the block. By his logic, every old house without ridge vents should be leaking water. I've been in my attic, there's no condensation issue. Their price for a new roof seems fair but given our roof is 12-15 years old with two leaks, it's far from needing a full replacement. They also offered no warranty if we went with a repair. He also estimated my roof to be 25 years old when my home inspection and other roofers estimated 10-15 years old.

    If you would like a stunning, 2-piece Spanish clay tile roof, give Ivan Maldonado at Roofing…read moreSolutions (in Hayward) a call. I guarantee you'll be delighted by the work his team does! I obtained 3 bids for a new roof, replacing my concrete tiles with 2-piece Spanish clay tiles. All 3 roofers seemed competent and planned to use the same materials. Bid #1 was in the stratosphere. Bid #2 (Ivan's) was slightly less than #1. Bid #3 was significantly less than #2. Despite my reservations about the price, Ivan got the contract, because of his responsiveness and because I preferred communicating with him and sensed that he cared the most about doing quality work. Having lived under the burden of a defective roof for 18 years, I have learned that choosing a roofer who cares about doing quality work matters more than price. The experience with Roofing Solutions was very positive, resulting in a beautiful work of art that catches your eye even a block away. At the end of the project, as Ivan and I stood in the street admiring his work, neighbors pulled up in their cars to express their admiration. Ivan's team did a great job throughout. The only major disappointment was a large change order that drove the already very high price even higher. The issue was a lot of rotted wood that needed placement. But even that wasn't entirely unexpected given that my roof had leaked for years. Plus, the extent of rot can't be fully determined until the existing roof is taken up. It became increasingly clear, as the project evolved, that Ivan was personally invested in ensuring a top-quality end result, which he could add to his portfolio. His business is on the younger side, and he wants to grow it, so reputation building and positive "word of mouth" is important to him. That was comforting and gave me confidence that proper attention would be given to details. Everything that Ivan promised during contract negotiations turned out to be true, including the timeline. Work was unavoidably delayed a month because the tile supplier was slow to deliver materials; Ivan intervened very assertively with the tile supplier to ensure that the delay wasn't worse. When work started, it took 2 weeks, just like Ivan predicted. The team was always extremely efficient, professional, respectful, and clean. If I noticed a stray water bottle in the bushes, which was rare, it would always disappear by the end of the workday, as would any other traces. Getting a new roof is loud! But the team was as unobtrusive as the nature of the work allowed, and they left no footprints. Every flowerpot and piece of furniture that was moved was restored to its original location. Nothing was damaged. I like that no subcontractors were used. Everyone on the roof was on Ivan's regular, permanent team. Ivan himself was there every day, which I also appreciated. He regularly texted me pictures and progress updates. I like the fact that he has a permanent team. They work well together, and 3 of them are brothers. I think with a regular, permanent team working under the watchful eye of an attentive boss who cares about his reputation, workmanship problems are less likely. It is a pleasure interacting with Ivan, and he's the most responsive contractor I've encountered. He always responds extremely fast to any questions, whether you text, call, or email. You never have to remind him of anything or ask twice. Whenever I tried to remind him of something that needed to be done, the response was that it was already done. When I texted him to ask if he could give me the remote controls for the new skylights the next time he was on site, he texted back immediately that he'd send one of his guys up with them right away. And within 10-15 minutes my doorbell was ringing. Whatever else Ivan may have been doing during those 2 weeks, he always made me feel like I had his undivided attention. With a roof, the most important thing is the installation of the underlayment beneath the tiles. No matter how good a roof looks, you can't truly know the quality of the workmanship until 5, 10, or even 20 years have passed. But on the professionalism of the execution as I observed it from the ground, and on the aesthetics, Ivan's team gets an A+. And the care and attention to detail that I observed gives me confidence that the underlayment was installed correctly. I am also fully confident that Ivan takes sufficient pride in his work that if any issues were to arise, he'd address them. Overall, by the time the project ended and I had observed the work that went into it, my concerns about the price had lessened. I would not hesitate to use Ivan again for any future roofing projects or to recommend him unreservedly to others for any roofing project. Regardless of the materials you choose, his team will give your roof the same care, professionalism, and attention that they gave mine.
