Long, positive review of Felix and his crew. If you don't have the time to read, just hire them. Its a no brainer. One of the better companies I've worked with on my 30 years here in the Richmond Annex. I needed a reroof on my Richmond Annex house. I found three roofing references from contractors I had worked with in the past. I also had two additional companies I found on Yelp come out (Above and Beyond was one of them), for a total of 5 estimates. One estimate was from an unlicensed roofer, so no warranty but probably the cheapest. The rest were all established brick and mortar companies, including Above and Beyond Roofing (Felix Howard). Above and Beyond came out, walked the roof, explained in detail the processes and made sure I understood the issues that might arise with my house. He also was the only one that provided extensive documentation on the house using the GAF QuickMeasure system, a thorough written estimate with options and extensive documentation on the products and process. The other companies were fine, just not as comprehensive, and the last guy was kind of a shot in the dark. One of my contractors said it best, "you might get lucky or you might end up with more leaks than you started." Above and Beyond were also the most price competitive, nearly matching the unlicensed contractor's bid and Felix includes GAF's Silver Pledge warranty, has workman's comp on all his crew and a easy to navigate documentation process which includes permitting, contracts, invoicing and payments. Felix was even able to reduce the estimate when plywood prices went down. They are a local company with a physical presence and I love supporting these types of operations. So we went ahead and signed the contract. They were great and easy to work with. My wife had a particular color request for the shingles and venting, Felix accomodated it. The crew was blazing fast, 2 hours to remove the roof and they quickly repaired sections that exposed dryrot or had poor quality support. By the second day they had started shingling. Rain was forecasted on the night of the third day and they were able to put more time and effort to finish up before it came. Inspector came yesterday and finalized the permit. Each day they cleaned up the massive amount of debris generated by the work, they were responsive to and considerate of my neighbors, and they were extremely professional in managing resources, trucks, dumpsters, etc. Roofing is a rough, loud, invasive job and they managed it and our interactions extremely well. Great experience and if I live long enough I'll hire them again...it is a 50 year warranty though... read more

Above and Beyond Roofing did a superb job re-roofing my home in El Cerrito. I'm very happy with the results, and would highly recommend the company read more

We chose Above and Beyond Roofing to renew the roofs of two apartment buildings. We chose Above and Beyond for the following reasons: Fast response -- Felix answered my call for a quote and toured the buildings the very next day. He also provided the estimate promptly--again, the next day. Clear, concise, and timely communication -- Felix answers his cell phone. When he was unavailable, I called the office and was always able to speak with David to address my questions and concerns. They were honest and straightforward about the quote, the change order, and the reason for the additional work. During the project, they discovered a second roof underneath the existing roof. They explained that if it were not removed, the additional weight could cause water ponding on the flat roof. Good documentation -- Felix and David sent me photos and videos documenting each phase of the roofing project. This gave me confidence that the work was progressing as planned. Competitive pricing -- I obtained three quotes, and Above and Beyond Roofing's quote was the most reasonable. Responsive to tenant concerns -- As with any construction project, there were one or two tenants who complained about the noise and disruption. Felix and his team were responsive and respectful in addressing their requests and concerns. Timely completion -- The company completed the work in two weeks, exactly as Felix had estimated when we first met. Overall, we were very pleased with Above and Beyond Roofing. Felix and his team were responsive, professional, honest, and efficient. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable roofing company. read more

We had an emergency roof leak and sent out requests through Yelp for pricing and availability. Above and Beyond Roofing was the first of three to respond, and they responded quickly, which really mattered in a stressful situation. Felix called right away and arrived on time as promised. The team came out specifically for the emergency leak and did a very thorough inspection of the roof. They even sent four detailed videos showing the condition of the roof and explaining exactly what was going on, which we really appreciated. Since it was still raining, they tarped the damaged section to prevent further issues until repairs can be completed. As a bonus, they also cleared the gutters, which helped with drainage. Professional, responsive, and transparent. Highly recommend them if you need fast help with a roof leak. read more

We chose Felix over other competitors for his reasonable pricing and profesionalism. Our roof was replaced in 4 days with the inspection following immediately after. We highly recommend Felix, Omar and the whole team. We couldn't be pleased more with the outcome. Thank you very much, Amela & Kaarlo read more

Felix and the above and beyond crew did an absolutely amazing job on my roof. First off, Felix was the only contractor out of many who came on first call to speak with me, check out the roof, show me samples, etc. other contractors while I think they were all good took a bit more effort. Felix is the owner of the company and he personally checks on everything and I felt he gave his honest opinion. The roof was done incredibly professionally. The lines were straight, installed all new vents, colored them to match the roof, did an amazing job to flash the chimney, created a ridge vent, and personally came and checked every day. The team that worked was also very hard working, often working past 6pm. I had a solar install after the roof was done and Felix asked me to call him when the solar install is done to make sure the roof was ok. I sent him an email, and Felix promptly told me he will swing by in a few days which he did. If you want a roof well done and not be concerned about whether the roof will come out ok, then Felix and his team is it. Icing on the cake is that his prices are reasonable. Felix takes couple of days to do the install. I prefer this compared to crews that do it in a day because fewer hands mean everything will be done in a similar consistent manner. If they run into issues or make a mistake, they have time to fix them. read more

I purchased my home earlier in 2025, and after the most recent rainstorm, I experienced a roof leak between the Christmas and New Year holidays. After getting several estimates, what truly stood out about Above and Beyond Roofing was their straightforward, no‑nonsense approach and clear communication. Felix, the owner, was extremely responsive and incredibly accommodating, especially given my tight deadline ahead of a second incoming rainstorm. He made the entire process seamless and stress‑free, and his pricing was very competitive. Felix and his team were professional from start to finish, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you to Felix and the entire A&B team for your exceptional work, attention to detail, and dedication. I can confidently say I now have the best‑looking and secure roof on the block! read more

Felix and his crew were great to work with. Very professional and a no nonsense approach. He replaced a roof in El Cerrito for my neighbor. Best roofing company I have ever dealt with. Thanks Felix. read more

We had a leaking gutter causing a flood of water during this last rainstorm. Above and Beyond Roofing responded quickly to my call and made the repair the next day. Service was friendly and professional. Above and Beyond was exactly that! read more

Two years ago the ancient roof on this house started leaking. I called, Above and Beyond owner came right out, inspected, recommended, and made a complex repair to a very warped vent flashing and damaged shingles, on the spot. Above and Beyond made a great offer, too, for roof replacement. If you want great work, excellent quality, fast communication, a contractor who shows up when promised and stays till the job is done, with neat, clean, polite, insured workers, then this is your roofer! read more

Above and Beyond did an amazing job on my new skylights. They were very kind, prompt, and professional from the beginning. I had a leak coming from my skylights initially I thought the flashings just needed to be repaired. Every roofing company I called wouldn't even come out for a quote because they felt like the job was too small not this company. Felix was very fast with responding to my initial communication when I was called for an appointment I was told the job wasn't to small. When Felix came out he gave me a reasonable estimate he also patched a hole for me on my roof while I decided if I wanted to move forward or not due to the pending rain. I was given 3 options all very reasonable and fair. Once I decided on the full replacement the process was seamless and quick. The guys came out a week and a half later they were very quick but it didn't feel rushed and they were very respectful of my home and property. I was shown how to operate my new skylights as well before they left. I know this review is long but its important for people to know a real experience before choosing a company. Felix answered all of my questions along the way and provided me with photos as well. Although I felt scheduling could have been better as far as notice I understand as they are very busy and people are trying to beat the rain so I am happy they were able to squeeze me in. I would definitely recommend to my friends and family and continue to use this company for any of my future roofing needs. Work fast, company has integrity, payment process easy, outcome great. Don't hesitate to book you won't regret it. read more

Felix was incredible to work with. He came out to help with a roof issue even on Christmas Eve, which already says a lot about his dedication. He was professional from start to finish, taking the time to clearly explain the problem and share helpful background knowledge about roofing so I could fully understand what was going on. He was patient with all my questions and never rushed the conversation. I really appreciated that he walked me through multiple options to resolve the issue instead of pushing a single solution. His inspection of both the roof and the attic was thorough and detailed, giving me full confidence in his assessment. Overall, Felix went above and beyond. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs roofing help. read more

Felix and team just completed my roof replacement and I was very impressed with their work and overall communication! They quickly provided a competitive, detailed quote and were available to commence work shortly thereafter. Felix was always quick to respond to questions, and throughout the process his communication was impeccable. They started the demo work on a Friday and the new roof was completed and passed final inspections by the following Tuesday. Quality of the work and attention to details was top notch. I'd highly recommend Felix and Above and Beyond Roofing for any of your roofing needs. read more

I've been using Above and Beyond for years for different roofing projects. I have alot of respect for Felix as a business owner. He actually cares about his projects and always makes sure I am taken care of. His workers are hard working and the entire team gets the projects done on time and as they should be. read more

I met with four roofing companies to replace my roof and chose Felix because of his competitive quote and straight-shooter demeanor, and he didn't get into the weeds with roofing jargon and bs. I've done well in my life with contractors because I take a little bit of time and do my due diligence. I think Felix and his Team were probably my favorite contractors I've hired over the years. Omar was the on-site manager, and he and his team worked hard and did a great job. I'm happy with the results and highly recommend Felix, Omar, and Team. read more

Above and Beyond does exactly what the title implies. They do excellent work. They communicate thoroughly and quickly. They are fair in their pricing. Dealing with them has been a pleasure all the way through. Go no further in your search. They are the ones to use. read more

Felix and his crew were fantastic! Easy to work with and did a beautiful job! We highly recommend them!

Above and Beyond Roofing did an excellent job replacing my 25+ yr old roof. Felix, the owner came out on a Sunday to give me an estimate. His estimate was fair and competitive but what sold me on selecting this company was his attention to detail and explanation of what needed to be done. The estimate included 3 tiers of pricing depending on how long of a warranty on their work and the materials I wanted to use. When the crew showed up to tear down the old roof all the guys were super friendly and I could tell they took pride in the job they were doing. They were hard working and efficient. At the end of the day they would show me pictures they took of my roof. In addition being a long term El Cerrito resident I liked that this company is headquartered in El Cerrito. I like to keep it local. I highly recommend Above and Beyond Roofing and would hire Felix and his crew again in a heartbeat. All documentation was sent by email and payments were handled on-line which streamlined the process. I am so happy with my new roof! Thank you Felix and crew read more
