Palm Construction
I went with Palm Construction on my roof replacement and experience was awesome. Reuven and his team were great. They made everything to go so easy and smooth. They finished my roof within 3 days, very quick and it easily passed inspections. My roof looks also fantastic! Highest recommendation!

Palm Construction
Very trustworthy contractor! I hired Palm Construction to install a new roof on my home, actually to replace my old roof with new one. Mike and his crew were great to work with and they made this project to go very smooth and quick. They did excellent and high quality job and my new roof is perfect. I have had some experiences with roofing companies and Palm Construction is the best for sure!

Los Gatos Roofing
My newish roof needed repair after the guy who did the roof was non-responsive. They came, determined the issue, and repaired the roof. They were very professional and more reasonably priced than another company I had give an estimate.

PRACTICAL ROOFING
PRACTICAL ROOFING SENT US A CREW THAT WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL. THEY WORKED HARD TO GET THE ROOF DONE IN THE TIME FRAME THEY SAID IT WOULD BE. THEY CLEANED UP AFTER THE JOB AND THE ROOF LOOKS GREAT. WE TOLD OUR NEIGHBOR, THAT NEEDED A ROOF, ABOUT THEM AND THEY DID THEIR ROOF THE NEXT WEEK.

My Construction Group
Abraham came out to inspect the roof of a recently purchased home. He told us the roof was 5-10 years old and we did not require a new roof. Abraham, however, pointed out several areas of the roof that needed minor attention to make sure we maintained the roof and keep it in good condition. My assessment is that My Construction Group is an honest company that will not replace your roof just to replace your roof to make a sale. Their recommendation to hire a handyman to repair some minor roof problems as a result of normal wear and tear was extremely helpful and appreciated. When our roof needs to be replaced we will use My Construction Group.

Mr. Roofing Inc
I contacted Mr. Roofing in response to repairing a leaky roof. Instead of repairing the section of roof that was leaking, they recommended replacing the whole roof. The roofers were punctual and cleaned up after themselves each day, and they completed the job a week later than originally estimated due to manufacturer's delays with the shingles. The roofers performed the job very well, and I would recommend Mr. Roofing to anybody who wants a new roof.

Cosmos Roofing
Cosmos Roofing gave us a bid on replacing our roof. We had an old shingle roof, so lots to tear off. We picked out a comp roof and a whole crew came over and they started in on our roof. tearing off, replacing gutters, painted valleys and jacks to match the roof. I thought the crew went above and beyond the call of duty!! It was a good experience and a job well done.

Westshore Roofing Inc
The roofing work done by Westshore roofing was part of a larger job to insulate an addition on my house. The addition has a flat roof so I decided to use blown-in cellulose. The flat roof also had some external duct-work that penetrated the old roof (for ceiling registers). Another company would remove and re-install the duct-work, and a third company would install the insulation. The estimate I got from Westshore roofing was not the cheapest, but relatively close. The superior IB roof system made the choice to go with Westshore roofing easy. Westshore roofing was very flexible in scheduling so I could have everything done in a week. After the new roof was put back on, they even came back the next day to work with the people who would put the ductwork back, to make sure the duct work was "compatible" with the new roof. The guys were very friendly, did the work in the expected timeframe, and cleaned up well after themselves.

Eastman Roofing & Waterproofing Inc
Excellent. From estimation to execution, the team was impeccable. The recommendations were appropriate and accurate. The backdrop: all other roofers stated I needed a new roof. My roof is only 3 years old!! I called Eastman for a new roof; Eastman estimator recommended I repair instead. He looked at the roof and nailed the repairs; he estimated the roof had another 10-12 years life left!! So - a new roof at $27,000 versus Eastman's approximately $800 !!!

Westshore Roofing Inc
Steve took the time to explain potential issues and discuss the pros & cons of re-roofing our home. In the end, he didn't recommend re-roofing. I never felt pressured to get a new roof and really appreciated his time to do a visual inspection around the home and on the roof. He even took the time to remove some dirt & debris he found that was on the roof (next to the chimney). That was a sign that he cares about his customers. I will DEFINITELY use them for any future roofing needs! Thank you Steve!

The job was done on schedule. All the workers were professional and courteous and left the work area clean. Two of our neighbors have also had their roofs installed by Cosmos Roofing and those roofs also look very nice. We highly recommend Cosmos Roofing.

Bay Area Re Roofing Inc
Job description: one area of the roof was leaking and needed to be re-roofed a second area of the roof needed to be re-roofed (preventative) The job was completed in a reasonable amount of time (two afternoons). I especially liked that they communicated with me about all aspects of the repair and were very professional.

Xteria Construction and Consulting
I was not at home during the installation but overall it went well. My husband was very pleased with the work and the work was completed in a timely fashion. Also leading up to the work, we got very good advice about the best roof venting system to install and we feel that they gave us the cheaper but better way to go in roofing over the old roof rather than a complete re-roofing. We had accessibility issues and therefore extra difficulty and expense of packing out the old roofing material so roofing over the old roof was the better way to go.
- Cathy L.
Cosmos Roofing
Alex was very honest about the condition of our roof and informed us that a tune up of our asphalt single roof would not do much to extend the life of our roof. He showed me specific areas of the roof that were wearing off quicker because of weather conditions. I appreciated his honesty telling us to wait till the roof would need actual replacement instead of spending money on a repair that would not actually improve the condition of our roof. Personally I felt that Cosmos roofing was looking after their customers and showed that they care about your roof and not about the money. I would definitely use and recommend Cosmos roofing in the future when repairs or replacement are needed.
- Andrew J.
Mr. Roofing Inc
That was an emergency order. They came quickly to fix the roof very well. Plus, they kindly advice us how to maintain the roof better.

Dry Tech Construction
It went great! It was a difficult job - old shake had to be removed from 3 roofs on the property. Jeremy and his crew worked quickly and kept our property amazing clean despite tons of debris from the old roof. They finished on time and the new roof looks terrific.

They were quick to get it started, having had abatement on the roof done in 1 day and then had the roof done a little over a day. Flashings were replaced as well. Roof looks great!!!

RJ Bean started working as a laborer tearing off roofs and worked his way up to journeyman roofer 27 years ago. He's still going strong due to his love of the craft and appreciation for working in the great outdoors. In 1996, RJ obtained his C-39 roofing license and opened his own company - RJ Bean Roofing.
RJ Bean's committment to quality work is best shown by the many happy customers whose referrals have built and sustained this company. RJ is a craftsman; he enjoys discussing roofing sytems with his customers and is able to help them come up with the best solution for their roofing needs.
Complete communication with customers is key, from the written contract to the face to face, on the job interaction. RJ Bean works with all Certainteed Roofing products and Heavy and Medium fire-treated prime quality wood shakes, as well as a variety of gutter systems and all flat roof tar and gravel, as well of all types of repairs.
"The eaves of my house were in bad shape. It was recommended by the carpenter, who was planning that job, that the roofing over the eaves would have to be removed, so that he could be sure that he was removing all the rotten eaves. He recommended R. J. Bean Roofing, having worked with him previously. R. J. came and looked over the roof, noticed that the roofing job my husband and sons had done 25 years ago was put on over the original roof. He informed me that the frame of my house could not hold more weight, so putting on another layer of roofing was not an option. I surmised that the roof would have to be redone soon, and the improvements that R. J. recommended, such as eyebrow vents, would help prevent mold and rot later on. I'm so glad I hired R. J. and followed his recommendations. R. J. got the permits needed. He brought in a crew to remove the present roof. They were very efficient and brought in a truck to dump the old roofing into and picked up anything that had broken off into the yard. They also realized, which I did not, that the garage roof was composed of boards that would let pieces of crumbling roofing fall through, so they put tarps over the items in my garage, and gathered them up afterward, along with the debris that had come through. Then the carpenter, Alex Potter, and R. J. began their respective jobs. R. J. was very good at communicating when he would be at my house, so there were no surprises. He was very organized as to when supplies would be delivered, and when payment was needed for various contractors and supplies, and how much the job would cost. When the carpenter had finished, and R. J. could put on the finishing touches and the gutters were installed, R. J. arranged for the inspector and accompanied him, so that I did not need to worry. R. J. is a very organized, professional, and knowledgeable craftsman and takes pride in a job well done. I would be happy to recommend him to anyone. Having a roof replaced is not a quiet job, but R. J. and his contractors had all the work done as quickly as possible, so that the inconvenience was minimal."

"Tom came out to give us an inspection for our insurance company. We believed that our roof was in good shape, but found out that the back of the house was in great need of repair or replacement. We had wood shingles and have wanted to replace with a composition roof. Winter roofing did our last roof at our old house. To be confident about what came out of the inspection I did have three other companies come out and was told the exact same thing. Since I was extremely happy with Winter Roofing from eight years ago and they still had the best price, we decided to go with them. They started the work on a Thursday and by Friday afternoon they were completely done. The roofers went out of their way to be respectful and cleaned up after themselves each day. My new roof looks fabulous and while I really didn't want to replace the whole roof I'm so glad that I did since I now have the nicest roof in my neighborhood."

"NORTHBAY was very professional. They arrived when they said they would and finished when they said they would. Unloaded all the stuff and got right to work. Arriving the next day and got right to work. Before leaving each day they cleaned up for the day. (I love that, we have had people do things for us and leave huge messes for us to clean up)Next day the same. Before leaving they went over all over with a magnet searching for any lost nails. You would never even know we had our roof replaced, by looking at our yard. Such good workers we were very impressed. We were in the midst of a heat wave. Can you imagine how hot it was, yet there they were. THANK YOU NORTHBAY ROOFING GREAT JOB!"

Deals from Roofing Companies Near You
If roofing work needs to be done, use these tips to closely monitor the cost and avoid going over budget:
1. Understand your nearby roofing services
Roofers carry out a wide variety of services, from repairing shingles to fully installing new roofs. Most roofers will charge according to the scope of work that needs to be done, as well as the type of roof, not by hour. Some common roof repairs include shingle replacement, repairing damaged nails and metal sheets, or flashing repairs (repairing a damaged waterproof barrier). At some point, replacing the entire roof will be necessary.
Contact at least three roofing companies near you for bids on your project. This will help you get familiar with your local roofers, their price points and other nuances in your area.
2. Understand the roofing costs and price factors near you
- Replacing the roof of a standard-sized home (2,200-3,400 square feet) will cost between $2,000 to $6,000.
- Asphalt shingles typically cost between $1.20 to $4 per square foot to install.
- Roof tiles cost $8 to $15 per square foot.
- Metal roofs cost more than most other roofing materials, with a standard 2,200 square foot home costing $5,000 to $20,000 for metal roof installation.
- Labor costs for old roof removal can lie anywhere between $100 to $175 per square ($1- $1.75 per square foot). If the old roof has multiple layers that need to be removed, the cost will typically be higher.
- The cost of roof installation largely depends on the square footage (commonly measured in squares) of the project. In addition, remember the old roof will also need to be removed.
3. How to find a great professional roofer near you
The success of a roofing project will depend on the roofer selected. This page has some of the best-reviewed roofing companies near you with free reviews and grades. Find and contact the best, or let us help you contact top pros. Be sure to follow these tips when you reach out:
- Make sure to choose a certified and insured roofer for your project.
- Ensure that the roofer is familiar with local building codes and permits.
- Contact three roofing companies near you to gauge local price and other area factors.
All roofs require repair or replacement due to wear and tear. It helps to know how much roofers will cost, as well as the scope of services they provide. Roofs are one of the most important parts of the home - many don’t realize this until their roof becomes damaged.
