What recent reviews say

Work quality splits sharply: older reviews praise fast scheduling and solid craftsmanship, but recent jobs (post-hurricane demand) show repeated patterns of no-shows, incomplete repairs, recurring leaks, and unresponsive staff. Rocco and Blake's handling of damage claims and customer follow-up has drawn specific criticism across multiple 2024-2025 disputes involving tarps, roof replacements, and insurance coordination.

Praised for
  • quick response and scheduling
  • quality workmanship on successful jobs
  • reasonable pricing
  • professional crew attitude
skilled-workmanship
Best for: homeowners with straightforward, non-complex roof work who can verify completion on-site and have contractors show up on day one.

Strengths

  • same-day or next-day scheduling on some jobs
  • competitive pricing reported by satisfied customers
  • experienced with insurance claims
  • work completed in one day on successful replacements

Worth knowing

  • Rocco (salesman) cited in multiple complaints for missed insurance follow-up and ghosting after job disputes
  • Blake (owner) present in recent roof replacement disputes; defensive when confronted with leaks on new work
  • Dean (technician) mentioned in repair that ignored customer material preferences
  • Sterling (crew) praised in 2-year-old review
  • Javier (crew) present during multiple leak troubleshooting attempts on recent roof replacement
  • Recent roof replacement (March-May 2025) required 7+ site visits, persistent leaks by skylights and dormers, and spray-painted flashing errors
  • Tarp job (2024) charged $700, failed within 3 weeks
  • Cleanup still incomplete 3+ months after a December 2024 roof install (nails, materials in gutters, yard)

How it compares

Common questions

Can you come out the same day or next day?
Earlier reviews report next-day or same-day visits, but recent reviews show multi-week wait times and missed appointments. Current responsiveness unclear.
What happens if my roof leaks after the work is done?
Recent disputes show the company has blamed customers for not being present during work, charged additional fees for problems discovered later, and was slow or unwilling to return and fix leaks even after multiple customer attempts to reach them.
Do you do cleanup after the job?
A recent roof replacement (December 2024) left nails and roofing materials scattered in yard and gutters for months after completion. Older jobs received praise for cleanup.
