I…read morecalled 3 highly reviewed roofing companies in the Bay Area. 2 came out and gave me quotes, 1 no showed. Out of the 2 that came out, I choose to go forward with Apollo Roofing. I chose them for 2 major reasons. 1) they were going to deal with the scheduling of the removal and réinstallation of our solar panels. And 2) Shahar was so kind, informative, and honest during our consultation. He was through and kept us updated every step of the way. When our project finally started the crew were so respectful and kind! We found way more damage than we expected which resulted in our quote going up. However, due to Shahar being honest at the consultation we knew this was a possibility so it wasn't super shocking. The crew was great at cleaning up at the end of every day, which we appreciate as we have chickens, ducks, a puppy and cat as well as a child who are outside. When the project was done, there were a few concerns we had, we talk to Shahar and he quickly corrected and had the crew fix the items. Our roof is beautiful and will hopefully last many many years to come. I am thankful we went with Apollo Roofing and Happy Shahar was our project manager.

Apollo roofing helped us replace our roof last month, and they did a great job! As they removed the…read moreshingles, they found holes in our roof and shared those pictures with us. 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!

IB Roofing was the clear best choice of the four bids I received to re-roof my Rockridge house…read more Their pricing was excellent for the quality we wanted, and Israel, the owner, was great to work with: punctual, transparent, patient, responsive, and never pushy. 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. I would absolutely recommend IB Roofing.

My neighbor, who is an electrician and electrical contractor (retired), recommended IB Roofing…read more They re-roofed his home not too long ago and he was pleased with the job they did. 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.

Before making a decision, we asked Equinox Roofing for a second opinion, and we're so glad we did. Ilia came out on time, thoroughly inspected our roof, and provided the inspection completely free of charge. Instead of trying to sell us a new roof, he honestly told us that our roof still has plenty of life left. He pointed out a few minor issues that needed attention and even explained how we could easily fix them ourselves. It's rare to find someone who is this honest, knowledgeable, and communicative. At no point did we feel pressured into unnecessary work. We really appreciated his professionalism and integrity. We are very thankful for Ilia's honest advice, and when the time eventually comes for a new roof or any roofing work, Equinox Roofing will be the first company we call. Highly recommend!

Even with the extra cost of $800 for dry rot repairs! I whole heartedly endorse this company! Astro roofing is your expert professional one stop shop! 7 stars...

Scammers! These guys told me there were 2 options for fixing…read morea small roof leak - an expensive permanent fix or a temporary fix for a bit cheaper. 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.

We hired First Tier Exterior to give our house a face lift. They removed some outdated and shabby…read moreareas of battenboard, applied a skim coat (a new surface for the stucco) to the entire exterior of the house and repaired and painted all the trim and exterior doors. They even constructed and applied a decorative gable feature that we requested. Our house looks brand new now!

That way, we didn't have to be in the position of coordinating different companies and workers (who then blame each other for problems with the job!) The company is employee-owned, so everyone has a vested interest in the success of each project. As a result, First Tier Exterior was very meticulous about the job they did and they were very mindful of our satisfaction with the final product, even returning a few times to touch up small details after we had made the final payment. My husband and I are very pleased with the work they did for us.

The roofers were polite with my neighbors and efficient in their work. They even managed to keep the site clean, taking steps to make sure there were no nails left in the driveway to puncture a tire. Michael Collins was always available when I needed him, and Monica in the office handled billing and scheduling skillfully. There are lots of bad roofers out there. I feel lucky to have found a good one!
