For my home in Santa Fe, NM: I am thoroughly impressed by the professional and respectful manner shown to me and my property. My roof required permitting by the County, and National Roofing proceeded accordingly. They provided a highly skilled team; their work was outstanding. The entire team exceeded my expectations. This company knows their craft and understands the science of roofing, using only high quality long lasting materials, known specifications and details required to ensure a top performing 'worry free' roofing system for customers like me - results far above what my original custom home builder gifted me. A crew of 6 men with a foreman showed up each day on time and worked diligently each day. They left my property on the last day as they found it in a clean and orderly fashion, respectful of my mature trees, landscape and hardscape. As a result, I highly recommend National Roofing, Albuquerque, NM to anyone seeking skilled, knowledgeable, and professional workmanship guaranteed, so our beautiful snows, spring and monsoon rains can be fully celebrated from inside a water-tight, safe and dry interior! hooray! I personally thank my crew: Jose Hernandez Juan Olivera Gabriel Olvera Jesus Avila Edgar Chacon Julian Correa and Marco Perez THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPERB WORKMANSHIP AND SERVICE! read more

Robert Martin was very responsive, kept me updated throughout the process, quoted a less expensive option than a full replacement of my leaking flat roof and completed the work promptly. He sent me photos of the work afterwards and it looks very clean and thorough. Obviously I won't know for many years (hopefully) that the leaks have been fixed for good, but I'm hopeful as they were extremely professional throughout. read more

See all

Robert Martin did a super job on our leaking flat roof at a very good price. I highly recommend National Roofing.

Robert Martin is fantastic and I can't recommend him enough. We needed some work done on our roof and he quickly diagnosed the problem. He said we'd be better off doing some simple maintenance instead of hiring his crew and it would save us a lot of money. He's honest, responsive, and and a consummate professional. We'll be returning to him for any future work our roof needs. read more

National Roofing's owner Robert came out to give me an estimate for some roof repair and he was knowledgeable, honest, and insightful. He let me know that due to my need for carpentry and roofing the project would be too complex for his crew but he gave me great guidance on what to look for and recommended some other companies who might be able to handle the work. I left the interaction knowing I would have hired National Roofing if it had worked out. Highly recommend considering this company for your project. read more

Can't recommend National Roofing enough - we had a leak in our roof at night and they came out first thing the next morning, turns out it was the storm door that blew off and not any damage so they put it back on for us! They were quick to respond, super friendly to work with and would hire them in a heartbeat again! read more

I highly recommend National Roofing. George and Robert Martin recently put a new roof on my rowhouse in Northeast D.C. It was a great experience working with them - they explained their approach in detail, provided a detailed and fair estimate, and moved quickly to complete the project once I chose to go with them. The roof itself was done quickly over two days and looks great. I am very satisfied and would recommend George and Robert to anyone. read more

Its rare to find a contractor that is so great you have to write a review. These guys are exceptionally responsive and you can tell they really have their act together. If only all contractors could be like this! They actually came out the day I called about a leak, gave me a great summary of the shape of my roof, provided excellent pictures and explained in detail everything that needed to be done and provide the quote on that day. Very efficient and organized. Fabulous! read more

Very professional interactions with Robert, enjoyed their thoughtfulness even though I didn't end up working with them.

Highly recommend National Roofing, they did a great fast job fixing some leaks on and re-sealing my DC rowhome flat bitumen roof. Woke up to a leaky roof on Friday morning. Called National, they came that morning to check it out, gave me immediate feedback on what they found. Had a quote that evening, and they showed up on time Monday morning and got it fixed before lunch. They were also the only company that said they could do it without me removing my rooftop solar panels, saving me $2k for panel removal/replace. Their crew had a guy who had experience with solar panels so they were able to work around them safely. Highly recommend Robert and National. read more

I used National Roofing for a full rip-off-and-replace job on my DC townhouse roof and could not recommend them more highly. My roof had all kinds of complexity contributing to the job -- rotting roof hatch, a rusty skylight, a heavily patched roof installed over a decades-old tin roof, a poorly capped chimney, and an irregular roof line -- and Robert's team beautifully managed the entire job in 2 days, start to finish. I'm getting solar installed on the roof and opted for an anchored system which will puncture my new roof, and Robert kindly agreed to take a look at the attachment points before the panels go on, just to have another set of trained eyes on them. I couldn't ask for a better communicator or more trustworthy and detail-oriented contractor. Worth every penny and I encourage you to consider him, too. read more

My husband and I bought a house a year ago and experienced a few roof leaks here and there that we had patched up by random contractors, but when the leaks became more persistent and the damage from the leaks started ruining our drywall, we decided to call out an actual roofer to inspect the situation. My husband went up on the roof with Robert and saw that the situation was bleak - we needed a completely new roof ASAP. We were leaving on vacation in a few days (with a week of rain in the forecast while we were gone) and Robert was able to get us a detailed quote and have the work completed in a matter of days. It literally saved our vacation. Absolutely would recommend National Roofing to anyone that has the unfortunate need of a new roof. read more

I didn't actually have them do any work, but Robert was great to coordinate with to discuss potential work and options. Robert seems like a top notch contractor who's punctual and does what he says without playing games. I can't speak to their work obviously, but he seems to know his stuff and be a trustworthy contractor - a rarity around these parts! He admitted he's not gonna be the cheapest around, but if I was doing it all over again, I think I'd pay a few more dollars to have it done right by these guys. read more

I'm pretty thorough when choosing a contractor for home improvement. I spent a year working in construction so I know to look for some of the tricks to cut corners and I am generally skeptical. So I took three bids for our new roof as it's a big job and won't be cheap. Maggios was double the cost of the other two bids, and they took four weeks and three phone calls to get their estimate to me. I have no doubt that it would have been a high quality job, but the price was so out of whack that it was a no-go. Also they are big on educating the customer for what to look for in a contractor - that they have liability insurance, a DC license, etc. That was nice. The other two bids also had the required documentation. Home Depot offered a bid that was in line with National Roofing, and although I liked the rep who came, past Home Depot experiences indicated to me that he wasn't the person who would be doing the work, so I was left wondering how the actual job would go. Robert came and asked me many excellent questions that the other two didn't. He gave me confidence that he wasn't selling me a roof - he was selling me a partner that would personally oversee the project and make sure that everything was done how he would want it on his home. He came the next day to give the estimate, which was received within 24 hours, and he called a few days later after I awarded him the job to say that they unexpectedly had a free day and could do the job the next day. His team was fantastic - extremely thorough, clean, and professional. There were maybe 8 of them, and they knocked out our work in one day. When questions came up, Robert told me the options and what he would recommend. He brought his father and son with him, and it was lovely to watch a multigenerational family business in action. I don't think anyone could expect more from a contractor. read more

Crap, that's all I could think when we realized we needed a new roof. The hassle of finding a decent, honest contractor these days is just as bad as having to deal with the issue itself. Robert Martin, has managed to show me that honest people still exist in this business. He was always available to us to answer questions and be flexible when the scope of our project changed. He did all this with the utmost professionalism. He took pictures so we could see the old roof and the fantastic end product. He even went out of his way to be kind to our neighbors who also had to deal with the dust and debris caused by the work. All these little things really set the bar on what I will except from others we hire for our home. My experience with National Roofing makes it easy to write a review worthy of them .... 5 stars for sure!!!! read more

Rob and his crew did an amazing job putting on our new roof. In three days in temp in the mid 90's and 45+,feet in the air the very hard working men removed the totally rotten old roof and installed the replacement. Because of the leaks coming into our house they worked overtime. The installers were very friendly and tidy and efficient. We were extremely impressed with this fourth generation company and would highly recommend them. read more

National Roofing replaced the roof on our townhouse and the roof of our porch in 2019 when we first moved in, and they did an incredible job. Robert was extremely responsive, communicative, and incredibly easy to work with. They were respectful of the house and cleaned up afterwards. We've had zero problems since then and have been happily recommending this company to others in the neighborhood! read more

I highly recommend Robert Martin's company, National Roofing. Robert, his son (3rd generation family business) & his team are extremely professional, knowledgeable, cost-competitive, timely & most importantly, they do excellent work. The pride that Robert takes in ensuring he understands the issue(s) at hand, knowledgeably explains them to you, & comes up with repair recommendations, was extremely refreshing, & frankly a rarity. Robert is a man of his word, very honest & a true pleasure to work with. If only I could find a mechanic like him!! We solicited a quote from Robert, due to his stellar YELP reviews, & we received a return phone call from him, within 15 minutes of leaving him an after hours, 9pm message. He agreed to come out the very next AM, as we had a large leak in our 3rd floor bathroom ceiling, & additional rain was forecasted. If you are reading this review, you know that when you have a water leak, time is $$, & immediate, reliable repairs are paramount to minimizing costly additional damages. Because we didn't require a complete roof replacement, Robert was able to squeeze us into his schedule, & repair our roof within 24 hours of calling him. His team diligently worked from 9AM to after 5:30PM, leaving us with a new, leak-proof roof, & our water worries in the rear view mirror. Again, I highly recommend Robert/National Roofing for all your roofing needs. read more

Robert is a trustworthy, responsive, and thorough contractor. We chose National Roofing for some anticipated roof maintenance after moving into our rowhouse. He was extremely responsive--coming to the house that week--and explained the services to be provided thoroughly, with photos. A few months later, we had an unanticipated leak from a porch roof (which was not previously damaged or fixed by National) due to a bad storm. I texted Robert late that night, he came the next morning to provide an estimate for fixing it, and then his crew completed the work the following morning. I cannot recommend his professionalism or responsiveness more. I also appreciate that he explains the work and cost of materials up front so there are no surprises. read more

I developed a roof leak in a storm, and National Roofing's owner Robert was out at my property the very next day. He had all repairs done quickly and professionally and I could not be more pleased with the service. read more

Have never had such a good experience with a contractor! Woke up to a leaking ceiling on Tuesday, Robert accessed the situation and provided a quote on Wednesday and did the work on Thursday. He was great at explaining with pictures and did great efficient work! We also got one other quote from someone else highly rated on yelp that was a bit higher than Robert, so I think he's also competitive price wise. Highly recommend Robert! Will forever use him if we need any more roof fixes! read more

Robert is honest, clear, fair, prompt and does great work. I delayed a few repairs on my roof for years because I couldn't find someone I trusted to do the job. Robert and National Roofing will now be our first call. Great communication, great work, and always available for questions. Also, an important PS--as a woman, I appreciated the respect that was shown to me, that explanations were detailed and not "dumbed down" because my husband wasn't there at the time of the initial assessment. This is a quality company that respects their customers and cares about doing a solid job. read more

I had an older flat roof that needed to be re-surfaced before I installed solar panels. Robert and his team did an excellent job and were courteous and professional throughout. I highly recommend them for your roofing needs. read more

National Roofing replaced our flat roof with granulated modified bitumen roofing and repaired our chimney. He was very patient with my several questions throughout the proposal process and even worked with me to understand the differences between what he was proposing and what others proposed. Ultimately his proposal was the fairest and gave me the most confidence in the quality of the work his team would provide. We've had the new roof on for two months and had no problems at all. The team's work was efficient, they cleaned up behind themselves and sent pictures of every stage of the job. Very satisfied overall. read more

I don't always write reviews and this is my first 5 star, which is very easy to do. We've been working with Robert since we bought our house in 2005. He did a complete overhaul and then routine maintenance a couple of years later. Our house just went on the market and we had a complete resurfacing done so that it would be pristine. All 3 times I went up on the roof and the work was perfect. Robert is as honest as they come and his costs are very fair. Enough said. read more

I contacted National Roofing through yelp to ask about a leak we'd been having and get an estimate. Robert was very responsive to my request and was able to fit us in later that week. He came to provide an estimate and did a thorough inspection of the areas where we were having leaks and the entire roof. He didn't find any evidence that the leaks were related to the roof and had some recommendations for other possible causes. While I haven't had any word done by National Roofing, their good communication and honest assessment of the roof puts them top of my list for any future roof problems. read more

From the estimate to the work, everything was professional, fully explained, and done timely. Sometimes it's hard to make a decision from yelp reviews, but if you need roof work done, this is the crew to do it. After getting estimates from other folks who only eyeballed the work, my experience with this company has been aces. I would recommend them for any type of roof work. read more

Robert has been incredibly impressive in both his work and interpersonal dealings. After leaving an initial email and voicemail message over the weekend about a roofline leak leading to bedroom ceiling water damage, he called us back within 15 minutes on a Saturday to talk through needs and upcoming availability (despite the office being closed). Then, he was very communicative and flexible about his availability and was able to head our way earlier than expected during the week. To top it off, he diagnosed the problem and fixed the issue at root free of charge. We'll certainly be turning to Robert and National Roofing for our next project. read more

National Roofing impressed me not only for the quality of the work, but the excellent communication and flawless adherence to doing what they say and saying what they do. I'm glad to have a go-to trusted Roofing business in the DC area for my 124 year-old house with both high-pitch slate and flat roof. My time is valuable to me, as is my recently purchased home, so I particularly appreciate Robert's quick response to my initial inquiry, his arrival for our appointment at the agreed upon time, (always neat and clean and professional in demeanor, by the way, as was his crew) his thorough inspection and his clear explanation (including photos and visual walk-through) along with fair price prior to beginning the work. The National Roofing crew completed the work as agreed and made suggestions where they felt it was appropriate. Quality work, a genuinely respectful and pleasant professional team, and A++ for excellent communication and for making sure that I was informed and in agreement with the service and work provided. read more

Robert Martin changed my opinion of roofers. After recent storms he was responsive, his work was done beautifully and was extremely professional. I recommend National Roofing for all your roofing needs. read more

National Roofing was an excellent contractor to work with from the estimate to completion of the work. They pride themselves on doing things the correct way from start to finish. We had a very old leaky flat roof in NE DC and while others were ok just building the new roof on top of our rusted old metal roof, George and his crew knew the right way was to get down to the decking to make sure that everything was in good shape and if not, fix before it was buried in layers. Their bid was competitive with others that were not as extensive in scope. They did a complete tear off, inspecting the decking and replaced as needed then finished off with the standard modified bitumen application. Along with a few extras we wanted to take care of since we were doing some major work, they replaced our old vented dog house skylight with a more modern skylight, finished off a bathroom vent pipe that was left venting in our crawlspace by the previous owners and cleaned up a small slated portion we had. Very happy with the we went with National Roofing and highly recommend. read more

Contacted National Roofing for an estimate. Robert offered via email to come out on a Tuesday and said he would contact us in the morning to confirm the time. My husband stayed home but did not hear from him at all. When I followed up a week or two later, Robert said he had called my number a few times and then assumed we were not interested. He did not leave a message, send a text, or write an email; he said he assumed I would notice and follow up on the missed calls. (Um... I get a lot of missed calls from unknown numbers, sorry.) Then he told me they no longer have time to check out our problem. They may do great work, but I'm annoyed that we wasted several weeks waiting to hear from them when we could have been moving forward with someone else. read more

I've used National Roofing in the past several years ago and the owner, Robert Martin, was great. So, it's no wonder when I had some new questions about my roof and gutters that I called Robert again. He speaks plainly; he treats you fairly; he does what he says he's going to do when he says he's going to do it. What more can you ask for? Robert dropped by my house to check out the roof promptly when I called even though I wasn't home, and left me a voicemail that explained what was going on (and, more importantly, what was not going on). One problem I was having was with the downspout, and he told me that I needed to get a plumber in to snake it out and/or repair it. Then, he didn't charge me anything because all he did was take a look around. You worry that contractors will take advantage of their knowledge and your lack thereof. It's good to know that folks like Robert are out there who will treat you fairly! read more

very responsive and helpful

I had a complete roof replacement by National Roofing this week. I cannot say enough good things about them. Robert is patient and insightful when working with customers. The work they did is very high quality and they thought of a number of details that other roofers had not. They did the work on time and without any surprises or hiccups and the worksite was spotless afterwards. If your roof needs attention, you should call these guys first. read more

I was impressed with all the positive reviews and so I reached out via a phone call and an email. I am changing my earlier review as Robert has since called me informing me that they had responded with a message. I was unaware that I had to pay attention to messages on yelp. I thought it would come to my email. Since I need the job done soon, I will not be using them as they are busy for a few weeks but will plan to use them in the future. Thank you Robert for reaching out and correcting the misunderstanding. read more

This is a PERFECT recommendation. I called National Roofing and Robert Martin based on the really good Yelp reviews. I live in Foxhall Village, which is a historic neighborhood that requires historical permits from the D.C. Government before work can be done on my house. National Roofing has done work in our neighborhood before, so they knew the challenges of working on a 90 year old row house. They did a full complete replacement of my roof. Robert first came over to inspect the house and answer any questions. Then, he sent me a written contract that clearly set forth what he was going to do. Then, in ONE DAY, his crew of several experts removed the old roof and installed the new one. Robert (whose father and son were supervising the project) came back the next day and made sure everything was OK (and it was). As the son of a former roofer, I can say that National Roofing is the best there is. Thanks Robert! read more

Estimate Review from Nov 2015 - I contacted National Roofing for a roofing estimate on an older roof with a history of leaks. Robert was prompt , knowledgeable and gave me good advice on my options. He took time to examine the roof and suggest some options to improve water drainage. While I did not contract him for the work in the end (due to other logistical issues on our end), I liked his work ethic and would recommend him. read more

I used National Roofing for my home and for my daughter and son in law's house. The company is first rate. The owner, Robert, was personable, professional and a straight shooter. He showed when he said he would, accomplished the projects timely and his crew did a fantastic job. They were also very considerate of the properties and careful to leave the areas very clean upon finishing. I would not hesitate to use this company again, should the need arise, or to highly recommend them to anyone in need of a roofer. read more

We recently chose National over 3 other bids to replace our flat roof. What set National apart was George. He took the time to explain the possible causes for our leaks, and we felt that they would be the most thorough in addressing any hidden problems. Communication throughout the process was excellent. While the crew was working on the roof, George took pictures so we could see their progress, the issues they had run into, etc. Highly recommend! read more
