David Ralda was very responsive even though it was Memorial Day weekend; I wouldn't have minded if he had gotten back to me after the holiday but he offered to come out anyway to look at the hole in our roof. He offered a fair price for the repair and to come back when it wasn't raining, which ended up being the next day I believe. He verified that the rest of the roof looked ok, and did a great job on the repair. Hopefully my year-old roof won't get damaged again anytime soon now that the trees have been trimmed as well but if so I'll call David. read more

David was responsive, showed up on time, did great work and offered to help with repairs he identified.

David is efficient and even got a ball out of corner elbow that was causing leaking behind the gutter. Great job

David provided an excellent service to an incredibly complex front porch roof and gutter issue caused by a nest of squirrels living rent-free for decades. We bought a century-old rowhome in D.C. and didn't realize we also inherited a family of squirrels that ferociously dug into our front porch beam. We've gotten several quotes in the past two years where roofers and siding companies chalked it up as "this is going to cost you a lot of money and it's just not worth it." We finally decided to prioritize fixing this problem and got three quotes. I got two other quotes, and one was really expensive (due to different material cost) and the second one was comparatively the same. I trusted David's expertise because he was referred by my friend who highly recommended him (David fixed my friend's leaky roof issue nearby); and David didn't give me a run-around answer with the problem I had raised. When I finally decided to start on the project, David's team was ready to go. I wanted David to fix three big areas: 1) trimboard/beam; 2) gutter; and 3) front porch ceiling. David's team took photos throughout the process, identified that the front porch trim board didn't actually have a beam inside, so the squirrels lived in this hollow space filled with mulch and tree branches. They quickly gave me an estimate of the additional cost to add a beam and worked extremely hard to fixing the front porch roof area. They were done within a day and a half. I'm super pleased with David's craftsmanship. David went above and beyond my expectations, fixing a beautiful antique crown moulding that the squirrels chewed up, and making it look like new. I am so relieved to know this problem is now fixed and the squirrels have no way of getting back into the roof. Everything is sealed and properly done. Please protect David at all cost. He is a 10/10. read more

Slate roof repair, fascia repair, flashing repair. Provided quote and completed repairs on a Saturday.

I had a great experience with David for unclogging my gutter, he was quick to respond and even explained the problems he found during the job and recommended me repair work and gutter guard installation. He even installed additional metal sheets for overflow protection. My place is not within his service area, but he was still committed to assisting me over the weekend. He took photos of his work. Definitely recommend him for the quality of work he provides. read more

I used Yelp to find someone to clean my gutters. Yelp sent me 5 contractors. 4 responded very quickly, but only 2 gave me a price quote on the spot. I went with David because he was willing to come the same day and get it done. He showed up early and got to work. Very fast and efficient and fixed one gutter that was separating from the roof. All in he charges $180 which I think is reasonable. The other quote was $150 but I would have to wait and there were some conditions that would have probably driven the price up. So I am happy with the result. read more

David was one of several 5* contractors whom we asked to inspect our roof following a leak we spotted after heavy rain recently. He got the job for three main reasons: - First of all, he did the most thorough inspection (spending an hour crawling around our tiny attic and roof, where access is complicated by solar panels) spotting real issues many other contractors had missed (I was up there with him, so I saw them first hand). Did I mention he came on Thanksgiving, a day after we called him? Well, now I did ;-) - He also offered a competitive quote for repairs and gutter replacement and, in contrast to some of the competition, he wasn't only interested in replacing the whole roof, but thought we could fix the issues and keep it alive for another 5-8 years (which sounded very reasonable to us). - Finally, he was ready to start on short notice and seemed like a genuinely nice guy. While the weather wasn't exactly ideal (it was cold and rainy), David delivered on his promises, working tirelessly (and occasionally after dark and in the rain) to fix the issues as soon as possible. Less than a week after we spotted the leak, and after three+ long days of labor, we have new gutters and a roof that is almost unrecognizable. And while several of the contractors wouldn't touch our roof with the solar panels on it, David did a lot of the work crawling under them, saving us $2,5k in dismantling and reassembly costs alone... He also provided photo documentation of the work done, with helpful "before" and "after" pics. Would we hire David for another job? Absolutely, and we actually already have, i.e., he's scheduled to come round and inspect our roof on a semi-annual basis now. Long story short, we're very happy and would strongly recommend his services! read more

David responded so quickly to my request to get the gutters cleaned at my home in Silver Spring - he arrived within the hour. He did an excellent job, had all the right equipment, took photos of all his work, and made some excellent suggestions on how to carry out needed repairs for a reasonable price. He is very friendly, professional, and very easy to work with. We would recommend him highly. read more

David did a great job cleaning, our gutter, installing gutter mesh and replacing gutter brackets to stop the gutter from pulling away from the house. He did all off this 3 stories up. He also repaired a hole in our stucco and sealed and modified the stucco with a slope to help direct water away from the house. He worked quickly but also completed the unexpected issues. He did it all in a day. I would highly recommend David, he is a personable and does excellent work. read more

The company's owner was very receptive to my immediate need for fascia replacement. I was surprised that morning to see that a huge piece of lumber and fascia boar hanging down exposing a portion of the underside of my roof. He replied quickly, asked me to text a picture --then providing me with an estimate. I pleased when he was able to fit me in that same evening. He came in and did measurements, left for additional materials and even battled bees that had been drawn to the gaping opening. After finishing up--despite my being a new client, he offered to send me an electronic invoice for payment. The overall experience was simple and easy which I favor- no drama and no upselling. I plan to use him as needed in future and would highly recommend this company for all your exterior home repair needs. read more

I had a few things to fix after moving into an older home: fixing leaks, inadequate gutters, and flashing that had come loose. Ralda Roofing was able to get me an estimate quickly, including some options (prices for repairing the flashing versus replacing it) which I appreciated. The prices were reasonable and it was easy to communicate with David. He and his team came out quickly and got the work done. I can see why he has excellent reviews! read more

I've reviewed David in the past, but everything I said in 2021 applies in 2025. He's fast, cost-effective, and great to work with. On two occasions he's patched cracks or replaced dried out sealant on the roof, and we've also had him out to clean the gutters. Highly recommended. read more

David is a great guy and roofer. He gave me a fair quote for a repair when others wanted to replace the whole roof and dropped by a few days later to check on it. Highly recommend! read more

I had a severe leak in the garage a few months ago and David came out quickly. Good guy, good work, fair price. Haven't had a leak since. I had him replace a gutter today. I would usually do something like this myself but it was a little more complicated than I wanted to get into. He did great work again and it was a hot day today! David showed up exactly when he said he would. It cost exactly what he said it would cost. And he did the job how I wanted it done down to the detail. Highly recommend. read more

David responded to my Yelp solicitation. My rain gutters and downspouts were in need of cleaning and unclogging. David reworked his schedule to come out the same day. I could not be any happier or more satisfied. Over and above what I asked to have done, David conscientiously and methodically repaired and restored the gutter nails as he worked along the 2nd story gutters. And, even with the sun going down, David took the extra time to patch and seal the one troublesome downspout whose leaking has been given me such problems during heavy rains for more than a year. Upon completion, David showed me before/after pictures of the work (since I wasn't about to climb any tall ladders) - perfect! HIGHEST possible recommendation for this company. Definitely will hire them again! read more

It's difficult to get good roofers who are also knowledgeable at diagnosing problems. David was great and quickly diagnosed the source of our porch leak.

He works very hard and provides fair assessments and pricing. I would definitely hire him again. read more

Really happy I found a responsive and reliable roofer at last! Right after we moved into our old house it developed a small leak. I spent weeks contacting various companies and it was like pulling teeth to get someone to come take a look, let alone give us a bid to fix the problem. We eventually got a few bids but they were crazy high and some even proposed replacing an entire section of the tile roof with shingles which seemed like extreme overkill. Then a friend from our neighborhood list serv reccomended David. He came out within a few days, diagnosed and explained the problem, and then fixed it a few days later. Wow! And the fix was not a simple patch job, either - the entire metal "valley" between too parts of the roof had deteriorated after years of the prior owner putting a series of "bandaids" over it. The thing looked like Swiss cheese when David removed it and showed me! Was really glad to get that replaced once and for. Then a few weeks later, a new leak in another part of the house I called David and he fixed it a week after I contacted him! read more

David was rapid to respond and I needed the gutter and drains cleared on my DC rowhouse quick! He arrived the next day and cleared everything out. He refitted the gutter with leaf guards to prevent clogging and cleared the under ground drains. The result is a home that I don't have to worry about the back yard flooding and pouring into the basement anymore. Thank you David! read more

David did a great job installing the gutters and downspouts at my place as it was a bit unique situation and most gutter companies would not or can not do it.

I will use him again for future services and would highly recommend him, and his cost was very reasonable and honest with the issues. read more

David was super reliable, quick, and very responsive. I just recently bought a new house with skylights, a plant growing out of a gutter, and some roof issues and messaged him on a Sunday. By Sunday night, we had set up an appointment for him to look at the roof and gutters and by the following Sunday he was done! He took pictures during the process and I was super impressed with him! He gave me options with price points and discussed the pros and cons of each option with me. All of these positive reviewers are right! read more
