Although I made the mistake of going with another company, based on price, I would recommend that anyone looking for a roofing company should get an estimate from NEST. They are a local company and seemed very competent. read more

Robert, Connor, and the Nest Exteriors team recently replaced the roof, gutters, and skylight in our 1810 Colonial home. The crew was thorough and detailed when removing the old layers of roofing material and installing the new wood decking and roof membrane. The enclosed images showcase the team's skills. Their price was reasonable and the results speak for themselves. read more

The team at Nest are exceptional! We started the process with getting an estimate for repairs to our roof. After their expertise, it was determined that we needed a new roof. We called several other companies, none of them measured up! The estimate we received was very thorough. Conner answered all of our questions and explained everything. Leading up to the day of installation, the communication was fantastic. We knew what to expect and there were no surprises. Octaviano and his team arrived promptly on the day of installation. They were all mindful of our yard and safely. I'm happy we went through Nest for our new roof. I highly recommend them! read more

We contacted Nest in June 2024 when I noticed a wet spot on my dining room ceiling. They responded quickly giving us an estimate for repair for the leak and some additional repairs. As with any leak, it is never where you think it is, a few weeks later and more rain another wet spot on the ceiling. Connor was sent to check on the repairs and saw some issues that needed to be addressed, received an estimate, and job was completed in a few days. Never once during this time did anyone tell us we needed a new roof, which we didn't and we were thankful for their honesty. It has now been five months and lots of rain and no leaks. Thank you Connor, when we do new a new roof, we'll give you a call. read more

Nest Exteriors replaced our roof and gutters. They were extremely professional from start to finish! We were incredibly impressed with the thorough presentation on the condition of our existing roof and gutters. The removal and installation of the new roof and gutters was equally impressive! The crew was fantastic! Everything was cleaned up and done in one day! Can't say enough good things about this company! read more

Great company, they listen to your needs and design a best fit solution within your budget. The installation crew were great, on time and very clean. Very easy to work with, efficient, clean, good value, and overall wonderful. read more

In 1990 I built a custom-designed house on the last vacant lot in Truro. My Dad had bought it from the developer to save his backyard "forest" and protect his home from having a house built 50 feet from his back door. My 30 year-old roof finally gave up the ghost late in 2019, shedding broken pieces of shingle and growing moss and leaking slightly over the front porch. I wrote up a brief description of what I wanted done, which included new gutters with leaf/debris guards and minor repairs to my cedar siding, then made on-line contact with five Virginia companies. During the process I discovered that the four skylights on my roof should also be replaced, which was just as well because I could no longer keep them clean. Only one firm, JGL, was able to handle ALL my needs. Robert Gay met with me at home, did a thorough inspection, had his team that handled the siding work also do a thorough inspection before bidding. His bid was not the lowest, but the difference was minimal, but I got a sense that he and his crews would be thorough and careful. I accepted the bid and made a one-third down-payment so he could order materials. JGL has been cooperative, pleasant to work with and responsive to my needs. Two examples come to mind: 1) About a week before the work started, we experienced water dripping from the HVAC ceiling vent into our second floor bedroom during an extremely heavy storm. I called Robert, and he had a repair crew on the roof the next day to patch the suspected area. 2) After I accepted the bid, which I learned included a type of gutter guard that concerned me based on my research, I asked whether it was possible to make a change and proposed some alternatives that I thought would work better. Robert responded by accepting the change and asking only a small increase in the bid for the higher cost of materials. Then the weather closed in. Several days with rain proved JGL's repairs to be effective, but delayed the planned start. Robert's crew arrived on a sunny Saturday morning to tear off the old roof and start the replacement. Everything appeared well coordinated, so that by nightfall, the southern side of the roof had been completed. I had expected the largely Hispanic crew to return on Monday, but they told me they'd be back the next day to finish and clean up. Unfortunately, as Robert explained, there had been a mix-up with the supplier for the skylights, but he would have them installed later in the week, a process that took most of one day. The roof and new skylights look wonderful. And the roof comes with a 50-year warranty! The siding crew arrived a bit more than a week later. They were fast and thorough. In accordance with my request, they mainly used the left-over siding from the original construction (which I had stored in my basement for 30 years and they hauled out to install) or reused the existing siding for repairs. They provided additional materials when my supplies were insufficient. All the work was done in a day and the new materials were primed and prepped for a final finish that I will take care of. Their craftsmanship is excellent. The gutter installation was delayed slightly because my color choice was out of stock, but the crew actually arrived two days ahead of schedule and finished the installation on one short day. One small glitch in communicating one of my requirements resulted in someone having to go back up on the roof to finish a couple tasks after they were packed and almost ready to leave. One of the horror stories you often hear with roof replacements is the amount of debris (shingle scraps, roofing felt, nails, etc.) left behind. I have to say that after each crew left, I inspected the grounds. My home is surrounded by trees and I have no lawn. The property is a NWF-Certified Wildife Habitat and keeping it clear of extraneous material is sometimes arduous. JGL's crews were quite thorough: they used magnetic "brooms" to sweep for nails and other ferrous debris, they picked up virtually all of the visible scraps. I scoured the landscaping and found a few small strips of transparent wrapping material and a few tiny bits of old shingle afterwards (old Boy Scout habits, I guess). Then they used blowers to clear the area of granular material from the roofing and sawdust from the siding. I've subsequently found a couple nails wedged between the deck boards in the back of the house and one small screw at the bottom of the driveway, but all-in-all, JGL's clean-up was extremely good. I am hearing impaired, so all my communication with Robert and JGL has been on-line with e-mail or text messages or in face-to-face conversations. I have to say that despite the doubtless inconvenience to him, Robert Gay has been always friendly, courteous, professional and thorough in his conduct toward me and my wife. I doubt that I will have to do business with JGL again in my lifetime, but if I end up with another house in need of a roof, I will contact them in a heartbeat. read more

Nest Exteriors - JGL's crew on the job. This was a complex roof to replace. - Roofing Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

We needed a new roof due to leaking from a really old roof. Robert provided a no-pressure estimate and explanation of the options available to us. I got several estimates and JGL was the best combination of price and positive reviews. The work was done quickly, efficiently, and with a great looking end product. Our neighbors were all very impressed with how it turned out. The crew was friendly, hardworking and clearly knew what they were doing. They actually did my neighbor's roof and mine in one day and we were both very impressed with the outcome. I really only have good things to say about JGL and would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat. read more

Absolutely terrific experience. I called to a simple routine roof inspection because I hadn't had one in a while and wanted to make sure shingles were in order and no water had seeped through due to strong weather over the years. Robert came and looked over the roof and saw no problems but took ample pictures. He also took a look into my attic and took some pictures of the roof plywood since I was also concerned of damage that could be hiding there. In addition he showed me a gap I had on a joint where the chimney meets the roof that could use some caulking and recommended me another company that might be able to help. The experience was quite positive and from what I can see honest (no hard selling and over exaggerating for the mere sake of it). Overall I will definitely be looking at this company if I ever need another inspection and when my roof gets old enough that it needs to be replaced. read more

We've used JGL twice before this. They replaced a storm-damaged roof at our old house and then did some work at a historic home my wife manages. This time they came to our current home to check where we had a leak that had appeared in our family room ceiling. They fixed that problem along with others that they found. (They showed us photos to show us what was going on.) We also needed new gutters as the existing ones were old and clogged constantly. We'd had estimates for new gutters before and didn't like any of the companies, so we had put it off. JGL's estimate was reasonable, and we trusted them from our previous roof repair experience, so we hired them to do the gutters. They did a good job at a reasonable price and in good time. The new gutters look better and work much better than the old ones so we're happy. We can recommend JGL without hesitation. read more

In 2017, a microburst tornado came through town and literally peeled off nearly half of my roof. I called several roofers in panic and Josh was by far the most compassionate, calm, and responsive roofer that answered after business hours. It was not easy to convey that rain was coming down from light fixtures and I could see the cracks of the sky from my bedroom. Josh calmly explained to me that repairs cannot be done in the rain and how to temporarily triage the damage. He came as soon as it stopped raining and assessed the roof thoroughly. His team- not only tarped over exposed ceiling- but also checked the walls for mold and bought in fans to dry out the drywall. JGL Roofing's prompt fix avoided me a lot of trouble from potential mold and water damage. They also worked with my insurance company and installed a beautiful eco-friendly roof. It literally sparkles! Instantly- we noticed our upstairs bedroom was so much better insulated from the cold during winter while staying cooler during the summer. Fast forward to 2020, and there was a mysterious drip that came from the ceiling. JGL came right away and discovered that it was a pipe leak at no charge. Again, so professional and prompt that I could not ask for more. I highly recommend calling them for any roofing repairs. read more

I used JGL to replace the roof of my Arlington townhome, as did many of my neighbors at the same time. I'm very happy. This company stands in sharp contrast to others in the area that are less reliable and do less quality work. Go with JGL. Trust me. read more

Excellent experience and highly recommend!!! Robert at JGL roofing was terrific from start to finish. He was polite, respectful, thorough and informative. When he came to our house to give us a quote he explained what he would be doing. He went on the roof, took pictures and then went over each photo with me to show me what was wrong and what he recommended. He was not pushy or forceful in getting the sale. He left me with a packet which included a variety of shingle samples and information about their process. I received two proposals via email later that day one for part of the roof and one for the entire roof. My wife and I went over both proposals and decided to go ahead with re-doing the entire roof. The roofers completed 3200 square feet in 2 1/2 days. If I ever needed Robert or had a question I could call or text him directly and he would always answer. I am very pleased with JGL and our new roof. I would highly recommend them without any hesitation. read more

We had JGL roofing install a shingle roof on our new construction in 2017. Josh met with us on site on multiple occasions to assist us with product selection for our new construction. He was attentive to our desires and helped us pick the right option. He was very responsive to contact whenever we reached out for updates. The roof is very intricate with a lot of valleys, a steep pitch and some curvature. We have had no leaks or issues with any part of the roof during with the wettest year on record. The finished product was beautiful and we have recommended JGL to friends and neighbors. read more

In September of 2017, I engaged JGL to replace my roof and fix a leak in the corner of townhouse that is attached to another. Josh was professional, but had difficulty being on time for the estimate appointment. I tried to get a discount for replacing the roofs of my and my neighbors, so that the leak would be fixed, since the leak initiated from the neighbor's roof. But my neighbor claimed he didn't have the funds to replace his roof, but Josh honored the discount for my roof anyway. On the day of work, early November 2017, the workers were very careless with discarding old shingles. There was minor damage to my newly replaced post lamp in front of my townhouse, as well as the paint on the front door frame. There were also lots of shingles that landed on my front bushes. Also many shingles landed on a metal roof over the bay window that protrudes out of the front of the townhouse. JGL also did not fix the portion of the neighbor's roof that was causing the leak; they only sealed it. The crew finished work in 4 hours! When the work was done, the cleanup was superb, but the damages were not addressed. When Josh and I connected on payment, I showed him the damages. He offered to paint the roof of the bay window, and volunteered a $500 temporary reduction of payment until his crew comes to paint that portion when the weather was warmer in 2018; this never happened. After one torrential rainfall in June 2018, I noticed the leak started again where JGL had sealed the leak on my neighbor's roof. So I demanded my neighbor to replace his roof. In August 2018, Both my neighbor and I paid handsomely to cover our front door stoops and steps in high quality masonry work. My neighbor reengaged JGL/Josh, after several attempts, to ratify the contract Josh had drawn in 2017. When the work began on my neighbor's roof later in August 2018, the crew covered my neighbor's front stoop and steps with a tarp throughout the 4 days of work. But they had the utmost disregard for my front stoop and steps, as well as my backyard, with respect to debris. My new masonry work was covered in debris, scratches from nails and staples, stains from shingles glue, and particles of shingles. The backyard was covered with discarded flashing pieces, shingles and debris, and nails/staples. The crew never laid a tarp on my new masonry work, despite my numerous requests to Josh. When the work was done, I asked Josh to power wash my new masonry work; to date I have not received an acknowledgment from JGL nor Josh in this regard. After comparing the work on my roof vs that of my neighbor's, it is clear that JGL did a much more thorough and clean job on my neighbor's roof than mine, having worked on them 4 days vs 4 hours respectively. UPDATE: Yesterday, my neighbor brought it to my attention that while I was away on vacation, JGL hired a third party service, or used their own staff, to attempt to power wash the stains caused by the work they performed on my neighbor's roof. The power washing left many streaks of discoloration on my front door stoop and steps masonry work. I sent a demand letter to JGL requesting remedy, which could include replacement. Josh immediately replied via email and phone call, refusing to accept responsibility for this negligence. I am now forced to prepare to take legal action against JGL Roofing and Exterior for repair/replacement of the damaged they caused on my front door stoop and steps masonry work. read more

Robert of JGL came out to do a free estimate on a very small window project and to check the state of our roof. While our window job wasn't something they do, he went up on the roof, assessed where the possible leaks were, caulked the skylight up for free, and gave us a bunch of sound advice on what to do about the roof, which he suggested wait on before replacing. More dishonest companies would have tried to get more work out of us. He even gave us a reference for a handyman that may be able to do the window. He seemed very reasonable and genuinely wanted to help us out over looking for profit. Highly recommend them for your next exterior project. read more

JGL Roofing was just awesome to work with. My roof started leaking in my new home a few days before Christmas. They came out a few days later and put a temporary fix in place to provide peace of mind. Great communication, quick followup, great work, fair estimate, punctual, and when I noticed a small issue, they showed up the next day and corrected it. Their team even offered to help me with a giant Amazon Prime package that was delivered while they were there. I highly recommend them. read more

JGL replaced my roof. JGL was every easy to communicate with prior to installation, and their prices were fair. What I liked most though was JGL's follow up after the installation. During installation, my older walkway cracked underneath their truck, and they immediately contacted me to let me know they were on top of repairing it. The repair was done quickly, and I never had to ask for anything from JGL. That kind of experience feels rare, and it left a big impression on me. I would highly recommend JGL. read more

My sister had JGL Roofing look over her home last year and was told that she didn't need a new roof, only a few patches. Therefore when our roof needed replacing, I knew I wanted to get an estimate from them due to their honesty! I obtained 4 estimates and decided to use JGL Roofing because Robert, (owner) was honest, very likeable, went the extra mile to explain and answer all my questions (in a simplistic way so I could understand), emailed me photos of my roof's trouble spots so I could show my husband, and in this day of Covid-19 came to my door holding a Clorox Wipe canister. When he handed me their brochure, he grasped it with a Clorox wipe. I really, really appreciated that! Robert's crew did a fantastic job! My husband is very picky and he gave them a thumbs up. Our roof looks amazing, the crew was respectful, hard working and when they were done, the deck/yard looked better than when they arrived, as they did a great clean up job. I also noticed they cleaned out our gutters before they packed up. Robert said they always do that for their customers. Robert was in touch with me throughout the job and quickly answered any questions I had. My neighbor commented how quiet the crew was as she expected to hear loud music and lots of yelling....there was none of that! We are very pleased with our new roof and the roof they put on our shed. read more

My wife and I recently hired JGL Roofing to replace the shingles on our house and also put a new flat roof on our two car garage. They did a beautiful job and we were very happy with our experience working with JGL. Robert Gay came to do the estimate and he really took the time to look at our house and garage carefully. He answered all my questions and explained how the work would be done and what options were available. He had a detailed estimate put together within an hour that listed each item and gave prices for all options and upgrades. We were able to schedule the work within a few weeks. Two hard working crews showed up on the scheduled day, one for each roof, and finished almost everything the same day. We have a lot of landscaping with garden beds close to the house and Robert was honest with me about the possibility that, with so much old roofing material coming down, some plants might get damaged. The workers were very careful about our gardens and even built plywood covers over some of the shrubs to protect them. In the end, none of our plants were damaged. The price was very reasonable for the high quality of the work. I recommend JGL if you need to have a roof repaired or replace read more

From first contact to final install this company is first class! Communication was very clear and precise. The estimate was very detailed so I knew exactly what I was getting for my money. The price was excellent too! The install was one time, clean and very well done. I highly recommend this company! read more

We were in dire need of a new roof. One because it was just old and second because we had a leak upstairs that needed to be repaired ASAP. We found JGL through an online search. Robert came out and met us and was kind enough to tarp up our roof for us temporarily so we didn't have to deal with the leak anymore. He then walked us through their process, gave a quick rundown of their company, and had a quote to us later in the day. We did decide to move forward with JGL and the whole replacement was smooth sailing. No issues, done in one day, the roof looks great, and the site super and Robert were extremely easy to work with. Would highly recommend! read more

They have a laundry list of items that they won't do. They don't paint. No wood repair unless under shingles. No flat roof repairs. Don't use them for a flat roof unless you want a full roof replacement. On the upside, they didn't accept work that they were going to half-ass. My primary issue with them is that the front office has a tough time communicating with back office, because I told them exactly what I wanted prior to showing up to my house. On the upside, they were prompt and polite. They might do good work, but I wasn't able to use them. read more

JGL recently completed the replacement of our 22 year old roof. They were price competitive, responsive, and did quality work. They took before, during, and after photos to document their work, and did a good job cleaning up at the end (even though it was almost dark outside by the time they finished!). read more

Good solid job, real good price, for minor roof repair and roof replacement of my stand alone two car garage. Excellent communication and responsiveness. Schedule the work within a week of the estimate. Definitely would use again and highly recommend. read more

Great experience from the first phone call. Very easy to work with, the estimate (from Robert) came with lots of photos to demonstrate exactly what was going on with our roof. He also pointed out things the previous roofer had done wrong, which we had worried about. As others have said the price wasn't bargain-basement but hardly outrageous. Did our whole small house in one day; work team was great, manager very expert. So far extremely happy with the job, would definitely recommend. read more

Good communication, reliable and did the work quickly and quietly.

Really pleased with the work by JGL. Gave us a very competitive and thorough rate quote to fix our leaky roof on our Arlington townhouse, and completed the work quickly and efficiently. Then, a year later, when we had a small tree fall on our house, came out quickly to check the roof for damage free of charge. Great professional and prompt service, would definitely recommend for other folks in NoVa. read more

No one particularly wants to spend a ton of money on putting a new roof on your house. Fortunately, Robert Gay and his crew at JGL has made the process as seemless and pleasant as possible. We got 5 quotes which were all over the map. JGL provided a detailed, no pressure explanation of what our house needed and the process that they go through on each roof. We were provided with a nice folder to go through at our leisure, though as soon as we got the quote, we were sold. And they didn't disappoint. They were able to get to our leaking roof quickly and the crew worked incredibly hard. When our ancient roof provided extra challenge for the crew, I got a personal call from Robert explaining what they had run across and how they were handling it. Best of all, it wasn't a complaint because of the hard work, or an excuse to raise the price. It was just good customer service. I would gladly recommend JGL to anyone that needs roof work. I assume their other work is just as good and I'm sure they will be my first call when we eventually look to our windows and siding. read more

Dealt with Josh of this company in 2018 who proved to be dishonest and unethical. Was provided a quote face to face and then a written quote which was extremely higher. Not to mention that after I said I did not want them to do the roof, they unexpectedly delivered shingles on my roof hammering them in the current roof causing holes in the existing roof. Josh them up to it and patched the holes in the roof. I can't speak to the current ownership however just my experience with the previous owner - Josh. There are far better roofing services and more trustworthy ones. I ultimately went with an honest company - NV roofing and they did an excellent job. read more

My realtor recommended this company and I was very happy with them. Josh, the owner was able to come on a very short notice, emailed me the quote and the job was finished in no time! I was very pleased with their service and responsiveness. JGL is my go to roofing company. I highly recommend them. read more

JGL Roofing and Rob Gay were leagues above the other roofers I called. Showed up on time and were professional during the first look at the damage and assessed needed repairs, and stayed that way through completion of the job. Unlike the other estimators, Rob really looked at the roof and the underside of it, thoroughly determining what needed to be done. Rob was quick, clear and regular in his communication with me as to how the job was progressing. We hit a little bump with the height of the ladders, but Rob worked it out and completed the roof repair well and within the estimate. I'd hire Rob again! read more

Josh and Robert did a great job for us replacing our townhouse roof. They were competent, conscientious and courteous. Robert even suggested making an insurance claim, which we would not have done without his suggestion. Much appreciated! read more

I went online in October for repairs to my roof and gutters. Robert Gay setup an appointment to give an estimate. The estimate was reasonable and signed a agreement to have the work done. The roofing crew came out on the day of the appointment and did the work. The following day the gutter crew came out and did there part. I had assume that Robert or someone from JGL would come out and inspect the work that the crews had done and let me know if there were any issues they did not. If your looking for roofers I would suggest that you make sure the company you going to use has their own crew to do the work. I'm 75 and just can't throw a ladder up climb up to see how the job was done. All I can do is hope it was done correctly. Thanks Larry read more

Amazing. Josh was so helpful in walking through the planning and insurance process. He set a target date six weeks out and missed it by only one day, which was amazing given the rain that we had this summer. His crew was super clean, respectful, and lightning fast! Highly recommended! read more

JGL Roofing was outstanding. We have used them on several different properties and were very pleased with their work. They returned our initial calls right away, visited us promptly to assess our needs, and completed the work with a week of two. The employees were courteous and professional. Their clean up work certainly is a hallmark of their work. I highly recommend them. read more

I can't say enough about JGL! They were truly such a pleasure to work with in a stressful situation. Robert and his team were amazing every step of the way. After a tree came down on our roof, he took extensive pictures and showed us what needed to be done. They were extremely professional, detail oriented, and responsive. I usually feel like I'm the one to ask about start dates and timelines, but Robert was always one step ahead of me in term of communication. Highly highly recommend this company! read more

We had a total roof replacement on our townhome with JGL. Everything was professional, clean, courteous, responsive and wonderful. Robert was very easy to work with from start to end, especially that he was timely with responses and always informative. Day of installation had an amazing crew. Carlos and his team were all very professional and worked very hard to ensure our roof was done in high quality manner and a very important part of it was how CLEAN they worked. They had already taken into account how to protect our new siding from any collateral damage during demo and even better was how they made sure neighbors' front and back patio did not get damaged. The demo of the old roof was confined to their dump truck so it kept our home and neighborhood very clean. They kept us informed during the whole process. HIGHLY RECOMMEND JGL. read more

Josh Lewis and his men did an excellent job on our roof this past Saturday 7/9/16. We had a nasty hole in our rake board cause by 30 years of wear and tear/water damage. JGL as a whole showed utmost respect, timeliness, thoroughness, and efficiency. Mr. Lewis has fantastic customer service skills and a great sense of humor, which goes a long way and certainly sets JGL apart from other roofing companies in this area. I didn't feel as if he tried to up sell us on stuff we didn't need like many (all of them actually, 5 in total, with the exception of JGL) of the other campiness we had come out for estimates for our job. The work JGL was excellent and they tidied up the area in which they worked (I didn't have to pick up random pieces of wood, parts, no random paint stains, etc). read more

Top notch service. Josh and his guys finished our new roof, including replacing all of the plywood underneath and adding insulation. They did a top-notch job with great workmanship throughout. But that's not why I'm giving five stars. I'm giving five stars because of the way Josh handled a little unintended situation along the way. We all know that sh*t happens sometimes...great companies step up to solve it when it does. In this case, as the roof was being replaced, a recessed light inside the house was knocked out of its housing. It's the type of thing that just happens when you're doing repair and construction projects. Unintended consequences. But in this case, it was a light in a very hard-to-access spot inside my home. I called him as soon as I saw the problem, worried that he was going to deflect or blame something else. Nope. Josh stepped right up, told me he'd take care of it, and came out to do it himself. They just left my house, and I couldn't be happier. Five stars for certain. I'd recommend JGL to a friend. read more
