I would like to update my initial review. The project to replace the old underlayment went a few days over. However, an unforeseen auto break down and the home owners association caused the delay. The Project Manager Angelo tried his best to schedule around the delays. Working the last couple of days, he made himself available to discuss the needs repairs. We are a return customer and chose this company again for the excellent quality. I would recommend Guardian for your job. The company is very competitive with other companies. Kevin initially helped with the initial scheduling and he was also helpful. Thank you Guardian. read more

Guardian Roofs has done three roofs for me plus for one of my neighbors. This company is totally professional and honest and their pricing is very fair. The workmanship is everything you want when you need a new roof: prompt and expert plus they leave your property clean of any old or new scraps of roofing. Their roofs are certainly going to continue to protect these houses for decades. Mario supervised the job from permitting, tearoff and completion very efficiently and is a pleasure to work with. Tell him that Susie recommended him and Guardian. read more

Follow up - Lost for words, I did as asked in the company comments here, with only confirmation they got my email. It's been weeks, they don't have another project manager, they have to find one & a crew. I'm better off hiring a new company and stop wasting my time with this make shift company!! My pictures are posted amongst all the company's own pictures posted. Standard replies from them here on Yelp another indication of the level of service! No Steve at all! read more

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! After 36 years it was time to redo our roof. We got three quotes and signed with Guardian based on their reviews and guarantee. Their worker showed up every day as promised and kept us in the loop of his daily progress. Highly recommend! And I need to add that Mario was a pleasure to work with from start to finish! read more

Wasted my and y tenants time. Says they do me roofs. Told them I need a new roof. Mario makes appointment, I tell my tenant. Then he changes it a day later, I have to talk to my tenant again. I tell him it's full of leaks and needs a new roof. Well-apparently it's not an easy enough job for him. He won't put a new roof on THIS house . Sorry it won't an easy job. Do you do new roofs or not. WASTE OF TIME!!!!!! read more

We had contacted several companies before landing on Guardian Roofs. Mario and his team were exceptional and went above and beyond for us. After the team removed our old shingles and had inspected our roof damage, Mario made it a point to take me up to the roof to show me exactly what needed to be done and what did not. He took time to explain why our roof had rot and water damage and what they will do to make sure the roof is not only fixed but improved. Mario was also very kind to personally help us dispose of other materials left by another contractor, which was not required at all, but he did it as an act of kindness to us. Emiliano worked on our roof himself after the team cleared the old shingles. He was efficient, timely, and had high standards of quality. He was incredibly hard working, especially in triple digit weather, and explained that he does this part alone to ensure quality, as not everyone is willing to do the job right. I appreciated him very much. Mario would come regularly to check in on the progress and answer my questions. He was always available to text as well. The end product was amazingly done. We went up to the roof in the end and the differences were night and day. Originally, our patio and roof were significantly damaged because of poor and lazy installation and repairs. They completely overhauled everything, including installing solar fans for ventilation, fixed our stove vent so it would properly clear the roof, and installed a cover for our exposed chimney. We left the Guardian Roofs sign at our front lawn for an extended time, so that our neighbors would reach out to them. Mario, Emiliano, and the team were trustworthy, thorough, and very kind in their service and work. read more

We received multiple bids from other roof companies , prior to initial contact with Guardian roofs. Mario, our project manager , promptly called me back and came by the next day for site visit, gave us an official quote , shortly after. Guardian was not the least expensive but we decided to sign with them, because of Mario. He stood out in all aspects and checked all our boxes. Excellent work ethics , straight-forward, great communication and follow up skills. Dependability is important for us. He showed up on time , his product knowledge on materials/brand, truly top notch. He patiently answered our questions, We felt very comfortable and pleased with Guardian for the best transferable 20 year warranty , and Mario- thank you so much ! We are definitely spreading the good word !! Highly recommend! !! read more

The salesman did everything to make me whole as much as it was possible. He worked very hard at it. I appreciate it.

We had the roof redone by Guardian Roof and they did a great job for us. The team that did the work was led by a gentleman named Emiliano and he and his team did a great job! They communicated the status of the job as it progressed and cleaned up after they were done (ahead of schedule I might add). Strongly recommend this company if you're looking to get competent professional roof work done to your home or place of business. read more

I was looking into replacing my 20+ yrs tile roof to the Tesla solar roof but after months of waiting (I pre-ordered the solar roof and it was stuck at the design phase), Tesla told me that they no longer serve my area and refunded me the money. As I was looking for an alternative, I came across GAF's solar shingles and I was very interested in them. Guardian Roofs is GAF's certified installer in SoCal area. Larry from Guardian Roofs reached out to me within a day after I filled out the "Request for a Quote" form on GAF's website. Told me about their company and we chatted about my needs for the new roof and solar system. Within the next few days, he sent me a proposal, explained every single detail to me carefully and patiently answered all of my questions and concerns. He truly enjoy working with Larry because he would find out the answers for any questions he wasn't able to answer on the call and actually called me back and explained them to me thoroughly. I called/emailed six roofing companies/contractors, only four responded within the first week with a quote. The quote from Guardian Roofs was the second lowest (cheaper than Tesla's solar roof). The other three quotes were traditional solar panels and reroof using the existing tiles. I quickly decided to go Guardian Roof's quote not only it's much cheaper than Tesla's solar roof, but their panels also looked much nicer than the traditional ones. My only concern was that without the space between the rack and roof, how would the heat generated by the panels being released? I asked Larry this question and he explained to me but I didn't quite understand, so I asked the owner, Justin, the same question during the installation and he explained to me by showing me the actual products. Turned out the combination of the underlaying sheet, GAF's Timberline Shingles and the actual panels were playing a big part in handling the heat. The installation took a week to complete. I'm very pleased that the owner himself actually came out a couple of days and climbed on the roof to make sure everything was done correctly. He was also there to answer all of my questions about the job. Additionally, GAF sent a technician from the San Jose headquarter to oversee the installation of the panels. Not the mention William (the lead installer from Guardian Roofs) and his crew did a great job cleaning up the area after the job was completed. read more

We had roofing leaking, and contacted three roof companies for estimates. We selected Guardian Roofs even though its quote was not the lowest, but Doug provided most detailed work descriptions, and this company provides better warranty. We were happy that we made the right decision, because the crew did a great job fixing the leaking area, and the office staff was very responsive. We highly recommend this company! read more

Had my roof redone 2 years ago by Guardian Roofs, everything went smoothly no issues. No leaks, they did a GREAT job, in fact I referred them to a neighbor. Recently i had my roof power wash and fumigated, requested Guardian roof to verify that there was no broken tiles. need to have them check it out in order to keep my warranty. Mario came out to do the inspection, in fact he was the manager onsite for my re-roof two years ago which went smoothly. He checked and gave me the good news that there was no broken tiles from the powerwash or the fumigation. Also he answered many of my questions about my roof. Thank you Mario for the checking out my roof and answering all of my questions!! read more

It's been a long time since I've written reviews as a consistent yelper, but I had to stop by to write a review for Guardian Roofs. During this last heavy rain I noticed that my furnace exhaust pipe was dripping rainwater down into my garage and I wanted to get this fixed as soon as possible, during this short break, before the next big rain event that is expected this weekend. I was looking for roofing contractors last week and was able to schedule Guardian Roofs to come out yesterday. I'm very thankful that they sent Mario to come out for inspection. He looked up to the roof in my garage where the vent pipes were located and noticed that daylight was coming in from both roof exhaust pipes (one coming from the furnace and the other from water heater). He told me he would go onto my roof to inspect them, but unbeknownst to me he not only helped me inspect them but he also brought his caulking gun to help me seal the cracks on both exhaust pipes without charging me. I don't see any daylight coming in now!   I can't stop expressing my appreciation for this act of kindness, and this act of paying it forward, as I know other roofing contractors would most likely had me scheduled for this small fix next week, which is after this weekend storm, and probably nickel and dime me. Thank you Mario for giving me peace of mind for this upcoming weekend rain event and any future rain events. I'm very happy with this genuine service and will be using your service again for any of my future roofing needs. I wish I could give more than 5 stars! read more

I've had a few small leaks over the past couple of years that were dealt with temporary fixes. I knew it was time, but the estimates for a new roof were much more expensive than expected. I even considered partial repairs. After 8 estimates, it seemed all roofing companies had some type of negative review and prices varied. I chose Guardian Roofs for their fair pricing, 20-year warranty, and Mario's attentive service. He emailed informations that I requested and dropped off samples promptly. Unlike some companies, he responded to my calls/texts promptly with a lot of patience. As I had many concerns after reading so many reviews; he addressed and assured each one. The crew, Ruben and Carlos, were impressive. I'm usually a little skeptical and like to see the work that is being done, so I went up to the roof every day to check the progress. Ruben addressed and explained each of my many questions. If there was something he wasn't sure about, he contacted Mario immediately. There were 2 incidents where Ruben gave me a "what you talking about" look in regards to an agreement made with Mario for the section of the chimney and getting some extra tiles at the end of the job. Even though the 20-year warranty covered them, it was quickly taken care of to my satisfaction. Overall, we are very pleased with their work. We would recommend Mario and his crew, without a doubt. They were very efficient and professional, making sure to tidy up and not damage any parts of my home (one of my concerns from various reviews). Thank you for your excellent work and service. If you're reading this review, request Mario and his crew! read more

We requested a quote for roofing and gutters, that's what they are advertising. We rather receive a verbal quote for solar that was twice as much as any other solar solution. We never receive the the real written quote. And they recommended that we ask some else for gutters. That made it very easy for us to decide. They didn't get our business. read more

I had my 35 year old terracotta tiles "re-roofed" - very interesting how they stack all the tiles at the top. Mario's team was here 7 days. The tiles that needed replacing were smartly installed on the back side of the house (away from street view). They took care of permitting with the city and cleaned up at the end of each day. Best thing I did was get the tiles cleaned. I highly recommend adding the power washing for a fresh clean roof. read more

Guardian Roofs - Clean tiles! - Roofing Near Me - Orange, California

We are very pleased with the quality of work our new roof looks great! The crew that showed up did a great job, completed the roof in the stated time. They cleaned up after the job was completed. Our complaint is with terrible communication with the representative that estimated the job. We committed to Guardian to do our roof mid February the first opening for install was in May. At the time we asked for roofing samples, we never received the sample, after repeated request we were told the supplier said they had been sent finally with just a few days before our project was starting and after another call we were told to go to a local supplier and look at samples. After the job was completed we received an invoice with no break down of supplies and labor, we were told they couldn't do that as our estimate was not itemized! This was a very disappointing and frustrating experience but with that being said we have a beautiful new roof that should keep us dry for years to come! read more

I highly recommend Guardian Roofs. Guardian put our roof on more than 10 years ago. Just a few weeks ago we had noticed a few tiles slipped down. My warranty had expired and they still came out, fixed the tiles and did not charge me for the service. My roof is still in amazing shape. They were very competitive priced, did exemplary work, and they are very polite. And now more than 10 years later I am even more pleased we have Guardian on our side. read more

Go elsewhere! Signed a contract with Dave, then the issues started. Was lied to about getting the permits, we were told,"waiting on the city" We went down to the city and they NEVER even applied for the permit. We had to constantly reach out for them to cover the roof as we have leaks. Guy was a no show for weeks now we have more damage. When he finally showed, was not an employee but a subcontractor and of course all the tarps blew off since they were not anchored down properly. The best part is they are now demanding $20,000 more because they indicated "its a big job, wasn't properly bid" If you want terrible service, liars, wait time for months along with them trying to rip you off for more money, then definitely use Guardian Roofing. If you prefer not to deal with the hassle and drama, go elsewhere!! read more

Delays after delays. I contacted Guardian Roofs in May 2023. They send a sales guy who gave me a decent quote and an estimated timeframe of about 8 weeks. We signed the contract and then poof! No contact at all. Then late July, I call them to see where we are and they tell me that there have been issues with my project and that they would start mid-August... nothing. I call them again, they are very apologetic and tell me that they would start on Sept. 4th, the on Sept. 3rd they call me that the permits were delayed and it would not be ready until the 15th, we'll, the 15 came and went and nothing I call them again (because none calls you) and they tell me that they are so sorry, that they'll start on the 23. I receive a call from my "project manager" who tells me that it will be the 23 and that he would be here between 7:30 and 9. - he had no idea of the details of the project until I start telling him. Well, it's past 10 am on Sunday the 23, no contact from him, I call him and he ignores my calls and texts. I call the office and someone, the office manager, tells me that she has no idea of my project and that I should expect a call the next business day.. I would give them 0 stars if I could. WORST COMPANY EVER read more

We really appreciate Mario and his team (including Angel) for their great work in reroofing our house. Mario is professional and has wonderful customer service. He answered all the questions we had and responded to our messages/calls quickly. Mario coordinated well with the solar company to have the work done in a timely manner. The team showed up on time, worked hard, and cleaned up the work area each day. We definitely will ask Mario again for any future need. Thank you Mario and team very much! read more

Guardian Roofs is an excellent business. I enjoyed speaking with Mona, Helen from the office when I started the process after speaking Doug Hein who was outstanding. I would recommend that you reach out to Doug to receive an estimate as he is very knowledgeable and honest. Both my neighbor and I felt very comfortable with the estimate so we both agreed to have our roofs completed. My job was completed last week and I am very pleased with the work as well as how quickly it was completed. Mario was in charge of the entire project and reached out to me whenever I needed to be made aware of any issues that could come up. Alex was in charge of the project from beginning to end and did a fantastic job of keeping me informed. Freddy did a fantastic job at laying the tiles and the job looks outstanding. I look forward to seeing them complete my neighbors job and making the neighborhood look outstanding. Thank you to everyone on Team Guardian Roofs!! read more

We had our roof done by Guardian recently and they were fast and efficient from start to finish. It was easy to communicate with Steve, Mona, and Mario. They worked with us and gave us a fair price even though it was a small job. We only needed a portion of our roof redone. We highly recommend Guardian Roofs. read more

We had a roof leak about 200sq ft problem area. Through Yelp, found Guardian Roofs and that was a great pick! Dan Hill and Team are professionals: precise, very clean before/after, and not pushy to sell. We know that we're going Guardian the next time. We highly recommend their outstanding service! read more

So we got the roof done last summer and the first rain a massive leak in our brand new kitchen. They came and patched and did a half ass repair in kitchen drywall. Then it rained again and another massless. Longer patch job in November. It's now April and still no final repairs on our kitchen. NOT A HAPPY CAMPER read more

Last week had gaurdian roof come out.dan hill was right on time .gave me options and price. They were significantly lower than others. We chose to have a partial replacement done. They came out just before a major storm hit completed the job in one day. They completely cleaned up after they were done.we also have a 10 year transferable warranty. Dan and the crew sure came through. As a stroke survivor, I'm handicapped and had complete trust in dan and gaurdian roof. My wife and I are so happy we chose gaurdian and Dan hill.. read more

we just had another service call from one of the guardian representatives named Mario. as he did in our initial installation he satisfied our concerns and was a terrific in his responsiveness. highly recommend working with Mario if you want to consider guardian roofs in the future read more

In the height of the rainstorm on Monday, I discovered a leak. Fearful the ceiling would collapse, I contacted Guardian Roofs and was told it would be Thursday before someone would be available. Later in the day, I received a text stating someone would be out by 5:00 p.m., that afternoon, to address the problem. Two gentlemen took care of the leak, preventing what could have been a major problem. Both gentlemen were not only knowledgeable, but treated my property with respect. Thank you Guardian Roofs for a job well done! read more

My experience with guardian roofing was not completely positive. I wish the owner would reach out to me. Guardian purposely did not pull the permit. They offered to save me $1200 if I did not need the permit but I insisted and that is how the contract reads. On Day 3 he city of oceanside shut down the job. Guardian told me to get a permit and state I was doing the work myself. They will say that is not true, but it is. Unfortunately the crew did not replace all the termite damaged wood and resorted to doing so after the roof was installed. This created a extra work and a substandard roof. There were nails below the nails zone, a loose fitted vent, a missing vent cover (just a hole in the roof), nails that are sticking up under the shingles. no stanchions were used on my solar, instead they put L brackets over the already installed roof and a bunch of water proofing epoxy. Once of the solar panels is shaking around, not secured and they did not work. I had to hire an electrician to trouble shoot and restore the solar power. The roof on my garage cannot possibly be warrantied due to the installation. I asked the rep to deduct from the total the permit fee he offered to save me and the solar installation since that is so awful. Truthfully, that section and others should be re installed. Again, I think this experience was due to poor supervision. The rep tried to make it right, but because I have not paid the balance, their process has led to a lien on my home. read more

After 8 years, the roof that I rated as a 3 has been very durable and looks brand new. Therefore I would like to rate it a 5. I just had another roof replaced by guardian which required framing in the garage and they did an excellent job. Therefore I am happy to rate their service in 2023 as a 5. read more

I quoted over 10+ licensed roofers (many are not licensed so beware) to do this job. I had a great experience with David and this company from start to finish. David was extremely professional and to the point. He and the company were true to their word as to when they would provide a quote and have the work started. Everything was very seamless for me especially since the project was difficult since I had many slopes, valleys, and skylights involved. David worked with me to ensure that my warranty was valid. I truly appreciate their work on repairing leaks and reroofing 3200 sq ft of roof. I had two other big companies that I signed with that fell through because they were not experienced or honest. This company and David were the real deal and I feel confident recommending them as a roofer. read more

Dan Hill, was going to be at my home between 10 & 11 a.m. today. He assured me even though he was in Orange Co. at 10 a.m. he would still be here just after 11 a.m. I knew that couldn't happen since I live in Banning. Then he said he would call me after his appt. in Moreno Valley. He never called, never showed up. I called his cell phone and the OC office...he finally just called at 5 p.m. with nothing but excuses why he didn't do what he said he would do. Regardless of his change in schedule he could have spent 1 minute to call or leave a message...he didn't until I made the calls I made. This tells me not to hire this company if this is their work ethic or lack thereof. read more

I made an appointment and was told someone named Dave will meet me at my house for an estimate with an one hour window. No show for 45 minutes. I called and straight to voicemail. I left a message and no call back all day. Wasted two hours of my day, waiting and getting to/from work during my lunch break. Not even a courtesy call. It's a shame because we need a complete new roof and many neighbors in my area are due for one as well. Could have been lots of referrals. read more

I hate this company; they sent a crew that couldn't speak any English, they demanded more money above and beyond the contract price, they left nails everywhere (I've had 2 flat tires now and picked up hundreds around our yard), they broke two of our plumbing vents, they covered over a kitchen vent, they shorted our electricity, they cracked our concrete driveway, and they left our garage totally roofless in the rain for a week without telling us they were about to do that. This is by far the worst contracting experience and I am burned by their incompetence. I am about to file a complaint with the California Contractors License Board. read more

Had an appointment for a quote on 3 2'x2' skylights to be replaced.... @ 8:20 am- 10 minutes before the appointment, the contractor calls me and tells me that "we don't do skylights only with new roof installation". I phone the main office ( with whom I booked the appointment) and told them what had happened- they do skylight replacement and they didn't know why he would say that. This company is based outside of San Diego and sub contracts with contractors that live in SD. I would be leary of using this company. There seems to be a disconnect and that's the last thing you need on any construction project. read more

Great company, team, and experience. Replaced our roof and a good amount of wood around my house. Douglas was very professional in informing us what needed to be done and what shouldn't be done. Mario was the guy running the project and did a great job in communicating with us and making sure everything was perfect. Thanks again! read more

Job very well done & in such a short time, under a week. What a great crew this company has. Doug in sales got all the specs within a day (5000+ sq.ft of roof) got up to the house very quickly and made a spot on estimate. Pulled all permits with no hiccups and scheduled inspections promptly! Jason was nice and respectful with us and his crew worked long and hard. What a mess it is to remove a whole roof and old solar panels, but this crew cleaned the surroundings up very nicely And even washed the windows. We picked the Corning cool tiles in Night Sky. The roof looks sleek and beautiful. We are so delighted. Thank you Guardian for a great job!!! read more

Sorry to say my experience was not good. The actually work looked terrible compared to some Of my neighbors roofing jobs ! I had to do some sealing and painting after they finished I even approached Dan my salesman but he just smiled took my money and walked away. I don't have record of a permit or the proper inspections that were suppose to be made. I don't even think they got the final inspection and I have no record of such. It's too bad because they were not even considered for a bid on two of my neighbors that have since re roofed with other companies! no response from anyone. Wow and nompermits ? I wonder if the California state license board would be interested read more

Spectacular! The sales consultant showed up when promised. Looked at thee roof, recommended a high quality system, wrote up the quote and we agreed to the terms. Said that they would start in 2-3 weeks. 3 days later they called and said that they were ready when I was. They showed up the next day, did the tear out and installed the Owens Corning premium roofing system including enhanced exhaust and ridge vents. They completed the installation on day 2, did an exceptional job cleaning up. As side from a beautiful new roof, if you didn't know better, they were so efficient and effective that they were done Ann's gone before we knew it. We ended up with a 4 ft section of facia that needed to be replaced and literally within 10 minutes of making the call to the consultant, Justin, the company dispatched a field tech David who immediately took action to replace e the facia and cleaned up and gone. This company delivered the highest quality product with professional installation and professional services and timely follow-up. THEY DELIVERED LIKE THEY PROMISED! Oh by the way, when it came to a competitive price, they weren't the highest and they weren't the lowest, but they saved me $2500 from the higher bid I received from an extremely qualified and professional roofing company. Call for a quote and ask for Justin, he will definitely take exceptional care in providing you with a competitive quote. read more

Gathering quotes, making appointments I was contacted by what looked like 3 different names. I have me information including phone number. I am making appointments with different companies to get quotes. Everyone else is making the appointment via yelp's message system which is great to compare all side by side. This company "Guardian Roofs" refused to call me and insisted I call them. Seems small but it knocked them off my list to consider. If they contact me using 2 names then refer me to a third name what will it be moving forward if I have any issues with the work? Just didn't feel right when I told them to contact me and they said contact this person. When I said I will move on they simply said OK. I guess they have enough work and do not need mine. 1 star for a no starter. read more
