    New roof from neighbor's yard, Certainteed Presidential Solaris Country Gray TL

    Our new roof from J and J is gorgeous and the process was excellent. View from the curb is mostly roof, and they guided us to a beautiful and durable total replacement for our 30+ year old roof, choosing not the cheapest, but definitely not the most expensive material: we picked Certainteed Presidential Solaris TL in Country Gray and the result is magnificent, check out the photos. The communication skills from J and J were exemplary. They have a very accessible-at-all-times boss, Matt, for big strategic questions; then a supervisor, in our case, Justin, who answers more specific questions and figured out the weird tiny details of putting a roof on our eccentric 76-year-old house; then a foreman, on the job all the time, Marco, who has the how-to knowledge and directs the crew and answered very local questions. All the workers are employees, not contractors; and J&J has all the liability insurance policies, etc. (a lot of formerly local roofers have been bought up by private equity and hollowed out - but not J and J, who are still the real thing, really owned and operated by Matt and his brother Mike.) They even have a weekly safety meeting. J and J had been doing repairs on our roof for 28 years (always a good job, at a low price) and last fall, this roof was obviously past its useful life. There were four layers on the old one, including shake at the bottom, that had to be torn off; then a new deck built; a waterproof layer; and finally, the new shingles. It was going to be a big job. Getting a roof is like getting a tattoo -- you want to do it right and do it once, because a do-over would be painful and expensive. Over the six months before the new roof we probably exchanged fifty emails with Matt Glass, a process that was extraordinarily helpful. Matt gave us guidance to drive around Glendale, Pasadena and Los Angeles and look at sample roofs in every material, in every color; it was during this run-up that we got a modern roofing education, courtesy of Matt. We looked at cheaper, functional asphalt shingle roofs; midrange "architectural" shingles; simulated shake and simulated stone made out of concrete and a kind of rubbery mudflap stuff; and so on. We drive a Honda and a Mazda - good-looking cars that will last forever with few repairs, and we wanted to same for the roof. The overlap of durability, beauty and cost guided us to the Certainteed Presidential architectural shingles. Solaris is a "cool roof" legal requirement in the City of LA; and then we paid a little more for the TL (triple laminate) just because it looks beautiful (no one was pushing TL on us, we just wanted it.) Tips for when you get a roof replacement: 1. look at and photograph as many sample roofs as you can, that helped us pick the perfect material. 2. Ask lots of questions. 3. demolition is the noisiest, messiest part but only lasts a day or two. Though everything was covered with plastic, roof dust still gets everywhere. Bring inside anything that you can. 4. coordinate with a termite guy - they can do their best work, quickly, when the roof is off! 5. On an old house there will be some small repairs from dry rot or just old wood - just let J & J do the fixes, they did great job for little money. Matt estimated eight days for demo, repair, deck construction, waterproof layer, four ventilation turbines and eight soffit vents, shingles, flashing, etc. and they hit the mark exactly.

    One of our neighbors used J and J roofing to replace their roof a couple of years ago so we decided to add them to the two other firms that were coming out for an estimate last November. Of the three companies, Joe from J and J did the most thorough inspection of the roof on our two storey Craftsman house. I'd asked the other two roofing companies what they would do if it happened to rain mid-job, which was a problem when we'd replaced another roof years ago. Joe was the only one with an acceptable answer ("cover the roof") and we knew we'd found the right place. We'd planned on hiring them after the rainy season was over but as it worked out, the extreme winds that fanned the Eaton Fire in January 2025 did considerable damage to both the house and the garage roofs, as well as some structural damage to the gables holding up the eaves on the north side, which complicated things We decided to go ahead and schedule the work. During the process, Matt Glass, one of the owners, was in constant contact which made the project go so more smoothly. His firm was even able to reinforce the section of the house with the gables as well as reattach what turned out to be a poorly added addition (with 8 layers of roofing!) that has been added sometime in the 30's. His workers were knowledgeable, professional and did a really good job of cleaning everything up when the work was complete. By the way, J and J Roofing is also mentioned on Pasadena Heritages list of recommended roofing contractors.

    The spinning turban-like roof vent makes noise when very windy. How much to replace? How much to re-shape or clean and re-assemble? It may be as simple as a twig stuck in there. It's on an asphalt shingle roof. Do you do gutter cleaning? Thanks.

    I've been meaning to write this review for years, so here it goes-- I can't recommend this company…read moreenough! The associate who first came to assess our roof and give us a quote was super informative and respectful. There was no "hard sell" and he patiently answered all of our questions even though we were in the middle of other renovations and told him we wouldn't be making any decisions that day. He said "no problem" and sent us the quote to look over. Two months later we booked the job and were thrilled with the results. The whole process was easy and exactly what you'd expect from a good roofing company. They showed up exactly when they said they would, did a wonderful job and cleaned up before they left. Four years later our gutters started to leak. Mind you, this company sub-contracts out the gutter installation, so it technically wasn't their mistake. Specialist Roofing & Repair sent out a supervisor and fixed the issue-- no charge, no delay. All under warranty. They are a WONDERFUL company that does a great job and treats their customers with respect. Cannot recommend them highly enough.

    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.

The previous owner had done a lot of patch repairs on the roof himself, so after the rains in 2022/23 and the hurricane this summer, those smaller repairs no longer held and we had a massive leak on our hands. We contacted a few roofing companies, but most were not willing to physically come to our home to look at the leak and give us an estimate. Hexagon was the first company that came out, and Jared showed up promptly, equipped with a ladder and a drone. He spent some time on the roof, took pictures, and walked us through what was going on. As first time home owners, we really appreciated that Jared was willing to take his time and talk us through everything. The issue was felt paper underlayment which was basically crumbling at this point, and the plywood beneath the roofing shingles was exposed and rotting. Jared gave us a few options, gave us a few quotes for those options, and encouraged us to get other quotes before making our decision. Ultimately, we went with Jared and Hexagon because we felt that their price was fair, and they give you a 50 year warrantee for the materials and a 10 year warrantee on the labor, and we appreciated the time and care Jared took with us during our initial inspection. Scheduling the job was a little stop and start, but once we got a time on the books, Jared and his team showed up, and replaced an entire section of our roof in one day. They even went out and got paint to match our house trim so that everything looked perfect, and they installed attic vents (which our attic DESPERATELY needed), that weren't even part of the initial quote. Jared's team took pictures of their work along the way, and while I wish the roofers had been a bit more communicative with us throughout the process (which we told Jared when he came to close out the job), their work was excellent. And the quote was accurate, no extra charges or hidden fees. What's more, we had a small issue with one of our front porch tiles getting cracked in the process of debris coming off the roof, and Jared went above and beyond to make sure the tile was replaced before he would accept final payment for the job. We're planning to have Hexagon and Jared come back to do another section of our roof that's not currently leaking, but has the same felt underlayment. I truly couldn't be happier with the work and customer service, and can't recommend Hexagon highly enough.

Oh and last time I sceduled an appointment, I waited all day and no one showed. They didn't even contact me at all to let me know whether they were going to be late or not show up. If your team back in Sept of 2023 would have done the job right the first time, I would not be writing negative reviews. I would have written one positive review with five stars but now I have to deal with a hole in the ceilng of my bathroom because your team did not know how to install an air duct to the ceiling fan. Your team back in March of 2025 installed a new pipe flashing and completed a full tear-off, 6x6' around the "hot water" pipe. They said it was the source of the leak! I found water again on the bathroom floor last time it rained back in Feb of 2026. Irlicia contacted me and sceduled the repair on the 27th of Feb between 7:00 AM and 8:00 AM. Guess what, I waited at my house, AGAIN, and no one showed! So they decide to come on the 28th. As I walked out of my house that day I discovered clay tiles nailed to the side of my house. And tiles missing from the top. Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't the tiles suppose to go on top? I ask you again, how is this going to stop any leak? That's the truth! Also, Can you and your office team please stop avoiding my emails. I have been trying to contact you and Wendy these past two weeks. Actually I have been trying to contact Wendy since March of this year. She just recently contacted me because I wrote a Yelp review. Come on Abraham enough is enough! Have your team to fix my roof! Its been three years!
