    My home after it's Roof replacement and new Rain Gutters installed.
    Michael S.

    Back in 08/23/2021 I hired Gary Dowd's Company to replace my roof. His Crew Chief Chuck and team did an exceptional job. They arrived on time and were respectful of the property. The roof color and style added value to my home. So if you need your roof replaced along with adding new rain gutters as I did. Dowd is the company you'll want to hire.

    After inspection, Gary informed me that my roof looked mostly good and there were only a few parts that needed work and reinforcement.

    Jim really came through for us! We just purchased a rental home in Glendora and unfortunately the…read moretermite guys cracked a bunch of tiles (approx. 50 tiles). One roofer came out and said we needed a new roof. Two other roofers came out and said they could replace the tiles, and fortunately the previous owners left us a stockpile of tiles so they wouldn't need to order many -- or any -- tiles. Mind you, according to all of these roofers, the tiles we have are top-of-the-line, expensive freaking tiles! When Jim came out, we could tell he was the man for the job. He walked on our roof, but he knew exactly how to step on the roof to not break any of the tiles. He counted all of the broken tiles, assessed the damage, and pointed out other areas that needed some work. He was by far the most detailed roofer to inspect our roof. His solution was to repair the cracked tiles that could be repaired (approx. 25 of them had hairline fractures), and replace the other 25 tiles. We really liked the fact that he could save some of the tiles and could repair them -- so we'd still be left with extras. We decided to go with Jim because we liked his approach and felt his solution was the most beneficial. Thanks again, Jim & Everlast Roofing!

When I called Everlast, they came out immediately for an estimate, which was great timing since I called during a slower season. After reviewing and signing the quote, the work was booked and completed within a week. The team, led by Andy and Jim, was very polite, professional, and safety-conscious. They replaced and painted all the rotting boards, making my house look amazing. The price was fair, and I couldn't be happier with the quality of the work. I still need more work done on my atrium, and as soon as I save up, I'll be going with Everlast again!

We had six different…read morecompanies come out to bid, and while they weren't the lowest bidder, they came in pretty darn close to the lowest bid. Besides price, our other priority was a company that did not use subcontractors, and SoCal Roofing only uses their own employees, so we felt confident moving forward with them after checking out some of the previous homes they'd worked on. From quote to install, the project went very smoothly. They were quick to respond to any questions we had, and the full roof replacement was done in about three days. Timing couldn't have been better, since we got several days of rain a few days after the install, so it was the perfect time to "test" the roof to make sure there weren't any leaks. We were solid. Among all the businesses we've worked with for other upgrades to our home, we can honestly say that SoCal Roofing is one of the only ones where we have felt 100% confident in the work that they did. They are very thorough with their work and you can tell they truly take pride in it. We would happily recommend them to family and friends.

Carlos came out and provided 2 different quotes, one for full replacement and another one for replacing only a portion to include upgrading all the vents.

His team came out on time and worked like a machine to complete in one day. They cleaned up after they were done and then the foreman came out same day to inspect and perform quality control. Aside from saving me thousands on our options, I was very impressed with SoCal from start to finish. I would highly recommend their services.

    I was referred to this company by a friend and received a quote from Keith as part of comparing 3…read morereputable roofing companies in the San Gabriel Valley. All 3 of the quotes were within a $2k spread, but Keith's came in the lowest. What really stood out as part of the decision was his knowledge, attention to detail, and prior experience working on the same type of roof as mine. In addition to standard shingles, my home includes a permitted sunroom with an aluminum panel roof that had been leaking. Bottom Dollar Roofing was the only company willing to address this as part of the project. Keith's team cleaned and sealed the aluminum roof, and it has held up with no leaks, even through the most recent heavy rainstorm. The process was smooth from the start. Only a small deposit was required to get on the schedule, and Jill in the office kept me informed throughout, especially regarding weather-related scheduling updates. She also provided helpful guidance during the color selection process, including a list of nearby completed homes with color choices I was considering, so I could drive by to see them in person. That made a big difference in choosing with confidence. Keith's crew was professional and detail-oriented. They kept the job site clean each day, removing debris and nails from the surrounding area. The work was completed on schedule, and the quality was excellent. They also repaired weather-damaged plywood and ensured the existing structure was brought up to code. Any potential additional repair costs were clearly outlined in the initial quote, so there were no surprises (though, as expected, some issues only became visible once the old roofing materials were removed). I highly recommend including Keith and Bottom Dollar Roofing in your vendor selection process. We're very satisfied with the results, and the new roof looks great.

    Specialist Roofing & Repair and especially their consultant Noah is our go to for roofing services…read more We worked with Noah during our home inspection and he proved to be the most thorough and polished professional we worked with. His personable nature immediately put us at ease and showed his genuine commitment to customer satisfaction. Our roof had several areas of concern, and he communicated everything clearly and knowledgeably highlighting all of the risks and recommendations. He even made a detailed video on the spot during the visit to walk us through his findings which proved valuable during negotiations with the seller. Later Noah returned to help troubleshoot several leaks during heavy rains. He again demonstrated his commitment and attentiveness and methodically tracked down the source of the leak and presented solutions. We absolutely plan to work with Noah and Specialist Roofing & Repair again. Noah truly cares and gets the job done in a clear, educational, and professional way.

    Let me just start by saying I'm a researcher. When I look for quotes, I first check Google to see…read morewhat the average price of my expected repair will cost, then get multiple quotes and compare both scope of work and cost. Upon initial inquiry, Specialist Roofing & Repair was pretty quick to reply, so I scheduled a consultation. One odd thing is, when I scheduled, they asked if the would be seeing both my husband and I or just me; I find this a strange question as what if I wasn't married? It is awfully assumptive to think I had to have a husband, but I digress. Noah was scheduled to perform the inspection. He was running a bit late and called about 5 minutes after our scheduled time letting me know he ran into some traffic and would be about another 5 minutes or so. He showed up 20 minutes later and it was the oddest thing, he parked in my driveway. When he came up to the door he asked if it was okay and I said okay, but honestly, I found it really strange and just didn't want to prolong the appointment. Upon inspection, he seemed very knowledgeable and personable and did a pretty thorough inspection taking pictures and videos of the roof and surrounding areas. As mentioned, I am the type to obtain multiple quotes, so I expected that after he did the inspection, we would go over his findings and a few days later I would receive a quote. After he did the inspection, he showed me a video of something the other roofers didn't, which was nice as I like a thorough job, but then said he would be in touch with a quote. I received a phone call a few days later asking to discuss findings, but when I called back, I got an AI bot which was then followed up by a call back from a real person. Oddly enough, when they called, they literally said nothing. They asked if it was a good time to talk and I said yes but they wanted to talk when "my husband was around." Even though I said it was a good time, they said they would call back. I followed up via Yelp message. It has been over a week and I have yet to receive any quote from them. Needless to say, I won't be going with this company. They aren't willing to work with just a woman and are unresponsive.

I received quotes from 6 different businesses, but Competition Roofing stood out as the best. From the initial quote, Kyle, the owner, walked me through their whole process. I had a few flashing issues that was making a badly installed window leak and he made certain that they would be addressed during the re-roof. Their pricing came out second lowest of the 6 companies I received quotes from. However, Kyle's communication and praise from other reputable contractors convinced me to roll with them. I wanted the roof done correctly, not necessarily for the lowest dollar amount. Once I signed on, Kyle was there throughout the entire process. He took care of permitting, informed me of when inspectors would show up, and even called to ask if I would like to be moved up on the schedule. I was impressed--I rarely come across contractors that are great communicators. Our new roof took 4 days. Kyle laid out exactly what would happen during each day. He was onsite during the tearoff and walked me through any small issues he saw, such as a few pieces of rotted plywood. The crew Kyle worked with was excellent. Each day, they cleaned up thoroughly and even took in my trash cans on garbage day! What kind of contractors go above and beyond like that? On their final day, one of the workers proudly showed me a video of the roof. I love it when people take such pride in their jobs. After installation, Kyle returned to do a full walk around with me to make sure all of the issues we had previously discussed in the quote were addressed (they were!). Overall, I cannot recommend Competition Roofing highly enough. They are true professionals in their communication, execution, and operations (yes, they are licensed and insured!). There were no pressure tactics, no mysterious charges, and no issues throughout the whole process. I can only hope that I find other companies that are as professional and skilled as they are when my next home project comes around.

Some was so bad that you could literally see exposed underlayment. I was only able to catch this due to a bathroom window I have that just happen to overlook it. If I got the work done on a different part of the roof, probably would never have noticed. And would never be able to call them to address it, so keep that in mind. What's worse is that since the roof work there was no major rain for 16 month, which is outside of the 12 month warranty. So I guess if you never put their roof to the test against mother nature then I guess it's perfect service. But the first time it's suppose to do its job it fails to do so. At this point I'm not sure what they did mess up my tiles and take my money for the privilege. I would literally be in a better position had I not paid them to do "work" on my roof. I tried contacting them several times and met with the cold shoulder. I'm probably just going to eat my losses here but if you're considering them, just be warned. Or make sure it rains in the warranty period!
