    Garbage swept into the floor (ceiling of the level below)

    When I originally chose this company, it was because of a 5 star rating. Had I waited to see the first 1-star, I might have thought again. As with the response to one of the poor ratings, the owner will blame any issue they have on you. Originally, I thought the owner seemed like a pretty nice guy. And the foreman, an even nicer guy. I realize now that is just part of making the sale. It's hard to get me to leave bad reviews but they managed to get it out of me. I chose them because the prices were reasonable and I assumed they cared about their yelp ratings. This turned out not to be the case. Job #1 We did two projects. The first was a demo. I made a garage available to have all the garbage go out together. They were to have a garbage man come on the last day to remove the rubbish. Despite discussing this, the owner pushed for a dumpster. I refused and stuck to the agreement. During the demo, I realized that one of my cameras stopped working. I called the company and explained. The owner first tried to convince me that it might have went out for some other reason. After double checking the time it went out and him asking his foreman, we learned that the cable had been cut. After realizing that it would cost more to fix it, he agreed deduct the cost of a new one from the balance I owed. I ordered and installed it myself but I wasn't upset about that... Oh and they used my tools and finished my roll of contractor bags without warning. They purchased new bags though and left my tools. Job #2 I tried them again for the rebuild project and was originally told that I needed 17 out of 26 beams replaced. When I finally got the beams (which was a headache in itself) I was told that I actually needed 26 beams. After more months of waiting for the proper size, I finally got the guys back. Then I learned I needed to place a special order to affix the beams. Carlos kept insisting on taking a structural shortcut but I refused. I asked that he order the proper supplies and add them to the balance as discussed. Days later I get a call from the supply company asking me if I want to order the supplies. I had just told him to order them days before! He tried again to convince me to take the shortcut again when I told him he was supposed to place the order. Days later, he still hadn't ordered the supplies. After about a month of checking with him, he told me the supplies were in. He basically told me he could only work weekends, which I had explained from the first job, wasn't going to happen. He continued to ask to work weekends. I continued to refuse. It was still warm when we started, so the fact that they disconnected the chimney ducts, wasn't terrible. Within a few weeks, it was cold! I asked that they come back to at least fix the ducts but he assured me he was too busy. A month after saying the parts were in, he finally came back. But before doing so, he asked for the remaining balance. Had I been that naive, I would've been even more upset when he decided to take another job, pausing mine for a few more days because I don't want anyone working on weekends. During this job he once again started to try to force the idea of using a dumpster, although we agreed not to. I finally broke. Luckily the foreman talked him out of it. I tried to allow them to do what they are supposed to be good at without micromanaging... big mistake. At the end, I started to see the shortcuts that were being taken... Large gaps between the bricks, gaps between the beams, garbage hidden, they even left my electric panels propped up, instead of securing and didn't fix the vents. I addressed these things as the crew were walking out. The foreman secured the panels, used my shims and some scrap wood to fill some of the gaps (I learned of more later but they claimed it is properly installed).They cleaned some more of the garbage up (after they left I found another place debris was swept and left). They left most of the brick gaps though. One of the main tools they needed, they did not bring. They won't get it either, instead they'll bootleg a way to get it done. Luckily I have some tools. They finished my garbage bags again. This time, nobody purchased another roll. They also over ordered the supplies, most of which they said they could not return. So I'm stuck with hundreds of dollars worth of useless construction supplies. To make everything worse, as I prepare for the next phase, I realized that they didn't follow the floor plans correctly. Almost two feet of my important active space has been cut off. If they weren't coming back for the garbage they left, there's no way they are coming back to correct a major mistake.

By the time we reached out to Gino we were desperate and wary of contractors. Gino couldn't have been more different from all the roofers we encountered. He was trustworthy, direct, fair, described in detail how he would address the job and didn't put any pressure on us to go with him. He uses very good materials and has a great crew that he directly supervises. He was on-site every day and provided us with consistent updates throughout the job, even texting pictures/videos for us to sent to the rest of our building's dwellers. He also checked in after the work was done to make sure his work was holding up. 5/5 stars!! I emphatically recommend him! I honestly wish he did more than roofing, we would trust him with anything!

    ## **Detailed Review of Royal Renovators (Experience from ~2023) **…read more My experience with Royal Renovators in 2023 was extremely disappointing, unprofessional, and ultimately costly. I normally don't leave reviews, but the level of incompetence and deception I encountered deserves to be shared so others can avoid the same situation. ### **1. Repeated Misdiagnoses and Unnecessary Charges** We originally contacted Royal Renovators because our roof was leaking. They came out twice and still couldn't identify the source of the problem. Each visit came with new explanations and new charges, none of which made sense in hindsight. Eventually, they claimed they had finally found the issue and charged us approximately **$4,800** for the repair. We trusted their assessment and paid, hoping the leak would finally be resolved. ### **2. Leak Still Present -- and More Confusion** The next time it rained, the leak was still there. Same spot, same issue. When we called them back, they used a drone to inspect the roof but still couldn't figure out what was wrong. Their uncertainty was alarming. We ended up using **our own drone**, and we were the ones who actually located the problem area. When we pointed it out to them, they insisted the leak was coming from the chimney area -- which was completely incorrect. At that point, it was obvious they were guessing, not diagnosing. ### **3. The Skylight Disaster** While they were assessing the roof leak, we made the mistake of agreeing to have a skylight installed at the same time. That turned out to be another huge error. The skylight they installed looks like a **DIY project**, not professional work. It has a **constant draft**, and when the weather gets cold, the draft is unbearable. It's clear they had no idea what they were doing, and the workmanship reflects that. Instead of adding value to our home, the skylight became another problem we had to live with. ### **4. Lack of Professionalism and Skill** Between the misdiagnosed leak, the sloppy skylight installation, and the inconsistent explanations, it became clear that the workers and foremen lacked the knowledge and professionalism expected from a roofing company. Their priority seemed to be collecting payments, not fixing the actual issues. ### **5. A Competent Company Fixed Everything** We finally decided to get a second opinion and found **2BQ Roofing**. The difference was immediate. They assessed the roof and instantly identified the real issue -- something Royal Renovators failed to do after multiple visits and thousands of dollars. 2BQ Roofing fixed the problem correctly, and here we are **three years later with not a single drop of water**. That alone speaks volumes. ### **6. Final Thoughts** I would never recommend Royal Renovators to anyone. Their service was unprofessional, their workers were incompetent, and their repeated misdiagnoses cost us time, stress, and money. The skylight installation was just the final confirmation that they were not capable of doing the job. If you're looking for a roofing company that actually knows what they're doing, skip Royal Renovators entirely. Our experience with them was a complete waste, and the only real solution came from hiring a different company.

Bill and his crews did a great job of fixing the roof leak! It hasn't been leaking so far after the fix on 12/6/2021. Although they are not the cheapest among the vendors offering to fix the roof, they were very responsive, offered a great quality of work and a 10 years warranty! While all the other contractors I talked to needed at least 2 - 4 weeks before actually fixing it, Bill did the inspection himself and was able to schedule the work in about 3-4 days! His crews, Mario and another man who can't speak much English took just 1 day to install the new valley membrane and finish all the patching. And they cleaned up all the garbage promptly. There were only 2 things I was a little bit concerned about, which Bill promptly and patiently answered. (1) It's a bit cloudy/rainy on 12/6, so I was worried that might affect their work and was wondering if Bill wanted to reschedule. But Bill, based on his experience, assured me that they would be able to finish the work before the rain, and it shouldn't have any impact. (2) It's stated on the contract that the valley roofing material will be "new Firestone roofing with black mineral surface", but eventually what's installed is "Firestone SBS White". Bill explained that the white one would be a better fit because a silver coating is needed for the black one, and with Firestone SBS White, the silver coating is not needed. I am really glad and appreciate that Bill took the time to patiently and promptly address my concerns, and explained everything thoroughly to me! And he is very flexible with the payment methods as well! Overall, Bill and his teams did an awesome job! Thank you very much for the hard work! And I will post an update in 3 months - 1 year if anyone is interested!

They came out the same day, went up on the roof, and quickly identified a small hole that two other companies completely missed.

Bill White Roofing was honest, straightforward, and saved me from unnecessary work and costs. It's so refreshing to deal with people who truly care about doing the right thing. I will absolutely be referring them to all of my neighbors and will continue to call them for any roofing needs in the future.

I'm an architect and my wife's an engineer, so we went deep into the search for a Brooklyn roofing contractor. Not as easy as you'd think: most companies chase bigger commercial gigs, and finding someone solid who actually cares about residential work took some digging. We ended up hiring NY Roofing. They handled everything--ripped out the rotted wood decking, added DensDeck recovery board so we're set up for a future rooftop solar setup, laid down a cold process SBS modified bitumen roof, reinforced every detail with liquid flashing, and hooked us up with a heavy-duty 6K commercial gutter system to finally fix the drainage mess. The crew finished the whole job in just two working days, right on schedule. They kept the site spotless and really watched out for our property and our neighbors--super considerate.

My flat roof had been patched by other contractors before and kept leaking every time we got heavy rain. A neighbor on my block recommended NY Roofing and I finally feel like I found the right company.

The crew replaced the membrane, redid the flashing along the parapet wall, and sealed everything properly. Work was clean, they protected the interior access points, and finished on schedule. Been through a full rain season since with zero issues. NY Roofing knows Brooklyn roofs and they do the job right. Highly recommend.
