I ask your forgiveness in advance for the length of this review. I knew my roof on the Florida room needed to be redone. No leaks yet but I believe in preventative measures and I work 3 jobs so I was in a good financial position at the moment to pay for it. After reading reviews, I called Alvarez. I made an appointment for Omar to come out and check out the roof. It was immediate evident that Omar really knew his stuff and I trusted him. He took his time explaining things to me in detail, answered questions as appropriate and even provided some insight into the origins of the company, etc. He and I had a verbal understanding of the price. When I got the written estimate, it was $200 more than quoted and I was ticked but I understood that the price was for the permits. I got over that hiccup relatively quickly. I took time off my second job to drive to the company to get my signature notarized. I still do not grasp that step. Why I couldn't get the notarization done at work, fax in a facsimile and mail the original with delivery confirmation is beyond me but hey, I missed work and did it. I also requested that cleaning gutters be added to the contract because that is what Omar and I agreed upon verbally. This was added. The contract was in pretty simple language that even I could understand. At this point I'll take a break in the story to tell you about the only other roofing experience I've had and that was about 10 years ago in Dayton, Ohio. The workers showed up before I left for work, spoke little English and at night, the crew was (I kid you not) on their hands and knees crawling around with magnets cleaning up the debris. The ground, ladies and gents, was spotless. I had nothing but praise to tell their supervisor the next day. Those guys were great. Returning to the present, I assumed that the experience in Dayton, Ohio would be duplicated. So price and gutter work aside, a date is set and on that fateful morning, I take my dogs to my ex-husband's to babysit while the roofing on the Florida room is done. A cursory glance when I get home from job 1 to get ready to go to work at job 2 and I know they have been at the house and gone because the debris from the gutters is laying on the ground. I didn't mind this originally because I was going to burn it anyway. I go to Job 2 and I just can't stop the nagging feeling that the contract that I took time off work for to drive to their office because they just had to have the contract notarized did say that the area would be cleaned up. Again, I'm thinking it's just debris that I can burn so why this feeling? The following day in between jobs, I take a closer peek and find pieces of roofing, two nails, bits and pieces mirrored glass, I guess for lack of better words. I immediately get angry. The price and the wording was one thing but I knew there was no way I could have misunderstood what was clearly written in that notarized contract. The mess should have been cleaned up. I emailed the company and when I say that the owner wrote me back in less than 30 minutes time, I am seriously telling you the truth. I picked up on what Omar had told me on that first day.. that the owner really does care about this company of his. He referred to the owner as 'El Maestro'. It was obvious that this company is his pride and job. He offered a discount which really wasn't what I was looking for. I just wanted the job done and if the guys left a mess on the ground, what does that say about the job they performed on the roof? All I wanted was the owner to come out and look for himself. Yes, the work is guaranteed for seven years but I didn't care... I wanted the 'El Maestro's' opinion. He came out, checked out the work and assured me that the job was right. He was quite apologetic. I'm pretty confident that his workers thought I wouldn't say anything: they took a chance and lost. I'm 100% confident this isn't the first time they have pulled this stunt. The tough thing about having your own company is that you have to more or less babysit your workers because let's face it... those workers don't have the devotion to work that YOU do. I would gladly go back to this company because of how the owner treated me. He could have blown me off but it was obvious that he cared about my opinion. I think a periodic, surprise visit from the owner during the actual roofing process would cure the lack of cleaning up exhibited by the workers. And because of the owner's pride, I give this company five stars. read more

tried to get someone to come to give me a estimate...it's been 6 days after they said they would come out. still waiting. i'm going elsewhere. read more

There's something about family owned and operated businesses. Alvarez is no different. They show up when they say they are, they call if they are going to be delayed or are running late, they give in-depth repair estimates and pay attention to detail. Are you going to pay a little more? Slightly but it's worth it because unlike every other Woofter in Tampa, they don't subcontract work out. I had a hole repaired where an old furnace exhaust once was and it was a great experience beginning to end. Highly recommend this business read more

So sorry I did not write this review sooner! August 2024: After tropical storm (?Debby) caused 2 small leaks in my living room, I arranged for 3 estimates for the flat roof. The other part of the roof had been replaced by a horrific company & I was hesitant about the process. Of the 3, Alvarez was the moderate estimate. I chose Alvarez because he provided a detailed estimate and pictures of the area. The work started as promised, finished in an excellent time frame, clean up was complete and pictures of the completed roof provided. I also appreciate family owned & operated businesses. When the roof was completed a family member walked the perimeter with me to discuss any concerns. I had none.Then came the hurricanes ! Peace of mind is priceless - no leaks! Finally, last week I had a question about random pieces of wood in my yard and something looked not quite right on the roof. I called, & Mr. Alvarez came out the next day, walked the roof & assured me all was intact! I highly recommend Alvarez Roofing! read more

We hired Alvarez Home Repairs to replace our roof in 2019, shortly after moving in. They did a great job from beginning to end, and we were very happy with the work. I thought I wrote a review, but doesn't look like it. We noticed a water stain on the ceiling in one of our rooms, and called asking for a quick check up. Jay (Jesnie) came today, and looked around, found a tiny leak and fixed it. While he was up on the roof, he did an overall check as well. Once again, from beginning to end, my experience with Alvarez Home Repairs was outstanding. This is what great customer service is all about. If you need work on the house (they do more than roofs), call them. I highly recommend them, they stand behind their work. https://alvarezroofingcontractor.com/ read more

Alvarez Roofing Services was very easy to work with. They came out and gave us a free estimate on what it would cost to replace our roof and gutters. There were no hidden charges, and we paid what was estimated. Their communication is clear and their work was done in a timely manner. There is something to be said about independently owned businesses. The good ones take greater care and respect for a job well done. Alvarez does just that. I would recommend them to anyone who needs a new roof on their home. read more

Best roof people in Southwest Florida. Professional, prompt and complete. Just put in a new roof could not be happier. Two days begining to end. That's GOOD WORK. Would highly recommend to anyone. read more

Alvarez Roofing replaced my roof mounted dryer vent. The price was fair, they were on time and did a great job. I recommend them.

Needed help installing a large cover over my car. Ivan was extremely helpful in putting it up with cemented posts and attachments to my house. He even came back over to help me put it back up after two of the cover attachment rings failed. I highly recommend Ivan. read more

I just want to say Obed and Joy delivered on their product from start to finish. Actually, started the job earlier than quoted and finished ahead of time. Workers were courteous and worked from the time of arrival until the end of the day. Their quality of work is very good and would recommend to anyone needing a new roof or roof repair. read more

Excellent customer service! Wow. Can't believe there are businesses out there that still care about that. I called and left a message about having someone take a look at my roof. I got a return call the same day. The ladies answering the phone were so nice to speak with. They do everything they can to fit you in the schedule. On the day the roof was to be inspected, for free I might add, the guy called me to let me know he was running late so I had a heads up. I really appreciated that. I understand if people run late, but some people never give you the heads up so you're just sitting there. Here's how honest they are - they said my roof didn't need replacing! They told me what to look out for when it was time to replace. How cool is that. I highly recommend this family owned company. read more

Great customer service, answered all my questions and was 100x more helpful than other companies in the area. I'm not ready to get roof work done just yet, but when I do, it'll be to Alvarez! read more

Great customer service and great communication. Provided before and after photos of the damage and then of the repair. Kind and genuine. Repairs look good even though I know very little about roof repair. Highly recommend. read more

Alvarez did my roof and did not do it correctly, they also did not warranty the work and we had to hire another company to fix what they did wrong this not only happened to me but 3 of my neighbors as well. It cost us all $1,000 to get our roofs corrected. I would not recommend this company. C. Smith read more

My roof has been in dire need to be redone. My main goal was to have the work done right by professionals who knew what they were doing and weren't going to cut corners. Heard about Alvarez reputation-after speaking to Omar I was very confident that these were the folks I wanted to take care of this project. All details were discussed, the estimate was fair & reasonable for all that was required to do job right. They utilize high quality materials and have excellent work ethics. Communication from the start to finish was excellent. The crew arrived started removing shingles at 8:30 a.m., completed loaded up and left at 3:30pm. (and there were some areas that had to be repaired due to water damage which took time to address).These guys worked quickly, proficiently and did amazing cleanup afterwards. Extremely pleased and would strongly recommend if you want quality job without anxiety of wondering if you will get $ worth. read more

I needed my roof replaced over my pool area. In addition, I needed my old porch pulled up I. Order to get to the roof. These guys were fast and respectful of my property. Great job! read more

Alvarez Roofing repaired my roof in 2017 as a referral from a friend. Job was done start to finish in less than a day. Now in 2020 when I needed another repair I called Alvarez. Again, prompt, professional, cleaned up, start to finish in under a day and no surprise charges. Highly recommended. Not your typical FL contractor - its been a family business for many many years. He even took multiple photos of each stage of work and then texted them to me to discuss all what he had done. Nice extra touch! read more

They worked very fast and completed the roof leak in a few hours. They didn't leave any junk behind and the office staff is very friendly.

With over 25 years of construction management experience I was committed to find a quality contractor to replace my Family's roof. I saw Alvarez Home Repairs installing a roof and watched their progress. Very efficient, and I could tell they cared. I requested a proposal, and they generated the proposal using online measurement. The quote was competitive however the quote included full peel & stick secondary water barrier. A far better system, while comparable in price to others without. When we got close to install, communication was very good to update on schedule. The date was confirmed and held. 9 guys showed up for day 1. Great crew of guys. They worked great together. Tear-off was well managed, with one guy on the ground, continually cleaning debris the whole day. Deck repairs were done within the contract allowance for wood replacement. The deck was re-nailed with ring shank nails and fully covered with peel & stick membrane and rolled right into shingles with over half done on day 1. This team has clearly worked a lot together. Day 2 was 5 guys, which was appropriate for the balance, which included the more detailed areas. The owner Otniel was on site both mornings and evenings with his guys and made sure I was happy. He addressed problem areas original to the house including installing detailed flashing at 2 blind valley conditions and using color coordinated modified bitumen sheet roofing. He also relocated a vent that the builder installed in the valley. This is the type of details that few address properly and all of this was taken as part of the contracted amount. Finally, I just had a wind mitigation credit inspection that received credit for secondary water barrier, plywood deck nailing pattern, and shingle nailing pattern. This will save hundreds every year on insurance. This Family operation is the real deal. They work to a higher ethic because they care. They are top notch roofers and I'm thankful I found them. You will be too. Five stars! Brian read more

Omar was great with answering all my questions. The estimate I received was great as well. I was confident when I signed the contract to have them replace my roof. They left no trace of them being there when they were done, except a new beautiful roof. Anytime I hear someone mention they might need roof work or even replace, I recommend Alvarez Home Repairs. read more

had some scheduling issues got canceled three times. when they made it out they did an excellent job cleaned everything up. I would hire this company for any roofing jobs read more

I called because I have leaking windows from rotted cedar trim boards and need interior and exterior work done to fix water damage. The girl that answered said they don't do any interior work OR exterior work except on the roof. You would think Alvarez "home repairs" spectrum of work would encompass more than just the roof. read more

This is how Alvarez Roofing "finished" the new roof. They have yet to return my calls or emails after several days as to an explanation why they believe this is acceptable. They left cable and phone wires dangling from the roof, unfinished wood panels along the trim and left my satalite dish thrown against my fence! The new roof looks ten times worse than the old one! Would NOT recommend this company. read more

See all

Excellent work, and a fair price for great materials. Super professional, polite, quick, and skilled. I highly recommend them for all your roofing needs, as they did a fantastic job in a very short time for us. Call them, you'll be happy you did. read more

we got a few quotes via Angie's list, google plus, yahoo, and various online places. Alvarez Home Repairs was about the middle and the quotes were fairly similar. However, like other reviews said, they did not nickel and dime over things like replacing plywood sheets. Additionally, they were exceptionally good at returning my messages for an estimate. This was probably the deciding factor for them to get the job. It was quick and looks amazing. They use some of the best shingles Certainteed and the architectural ones were only a small amount more. They also followed up quickly after the city inspector asked to fix a couple areas after Hurricane Irma. The site was cleaned up very well. Made the 20+ yo house look great! Paid via credit card and got some point back. Very professional with our large dogs checking out their work too! The crew was excellent. read more

We found Alvarez Home Repairs on Google. After comparing a few different places, we decided to go with Alvarez and we couldn't be happier with our experience. The family kept us informed of what next steps were throughout the entire process. They helped us from "cradle to grave", working through everything from financing to materials. The bottom line? Our roof looks absolutely fantastic! I'll try to remember to share pictures. If you're looking for trustworthy company with punctual, polite staff and outstanding quality, then look no further. Thanks again, Alvarez family!! read more

So happy with their customer service, prompt response, and friendliness. I will be getting our roof done with this company and am so glad I found you guys! Thank you Omar! Update: Just completed our second roof with Alvarez Home Repairs. LOVE this family owned business. They are so amazing at what they do. We moved all the way from largo to Brandon and still won't use anyone else. Our neighbors are impressed with how amazing and quick their work is. PLUS using the best materials! read more

We called several roofing companies to replace the aging roof of a rental property we own. After getting jerked around by a few other local roofing companies that didn't seem to want our business, we called Alvarez Home Repairs. We were very happy with the quote we received, the responsiveness to our questions and concerns and the quality of work that was performed. Alvarez went above and beyond our expectations. We will be calling them first for any further roofing needs and we strongly recommend this company to anyone looking for quality work at a competitive price. read more

Fantastic! These guys were prompt, honest, and highly skilled. I recommend them! They did exactly what they said they would do and then some. They started on my roof repair and shingle installation and didn't stop until it was finished and I was 100% satisfied. They went above and beyond. Thanks, Otneil and Orlando! read more

"I had the good fortune to have come across the Alvarez Home Repairs Co., while looking for a good, reputable, and capable roofing contractor; And, I can honestly say it was a stroke of good luck to have found this company! Everything that I read about them made my decision easier, but after speaking to Omar, both on the telephone and in person, I knew that this was the right company to deal with for our project. Omar explained in detail how the job would be done, what the materials used would be, and gave us an acceptable timeline and very fair price. From the day the Alvarez roofing crews started removing our old roof and installing the new roof, to the day it was finished, we found the crews of Ruben, Fernando, Armando, and Ariel to be both very friendly and capable with little to no inconvenience to us at all. They even had a gentleman checking all around the home for pieces of roofing that fell from the roof and using a magnetic thing to collect any nails that might have gotten away. The owner, Otniel Alvarez, came by to personally make sure all was going as planned and to lend a helping hand. And the lady in the office that kept everything working smoothly, Janet, made certain that we were kept well informed for necessary paperwork, and time schedules. This is truly a fine company to do business with, one that I would recommend highly, and the company that I will invite back to do the roofing , once needed in the next year or two, for our house next door. Great Company, great employees, and a great owner! What more can we ask for these days!! Thank you all for your fine work. Bill Metzner, Zephyrhills, Fl." read more

Alvarez was awesome! They did an amazing job and treated my family with respect! They cleaned my whole yard which was quite a mess from former tenants who were renting my home! Thank you so much! Your company deserves more than five stars!!!!!! read more

OMAR and his crew were very easy to work with. Was very impressed with their professionalism and quality of work at a fair price. I would highly recommend. read more

We had Alvarez Home Repair replace our roof a few weeks ago. I cannot express strongly enough how super this company is to work with. I have been a Realtor for over 27 years and as such have dealt with numerous roofers. Some of them were good and satisfied my clients. When it came time for our roof, I interviewed 4 roofing companies. I was so impressed with Otneil Alverez that, although they were not he cheapest, I knew that I had to choose me. All questions and concerns were quickly answered and taken care of. Their crew were super to work with. They started a day late due to rain....finished the job the same day and didn't leave until we're were totally satisfied. Following the job there was no cleanup as they had all that taken care of before they left. If you need a roof or roof repair, I strongly suggest that you give Alvarez a call.....you'll be happy you did. read more

Really professional job. Extremely pleasant, did great work and finished when they said they would. They were less expensive then 4 other quotes also. What a concept. I will be recommending them. read more

I had requested 5 different estimates on my shingle roof and flat roof. Omar came out for an estimate and reviewed the job. I received a detailed e mail estimate the next morning. I had many questions regarding skylight replacements as I have 3. Omar gave me the owner Otneil's phone number directly as he honestly told me he didn't know the answers. Otneil spent over an hour on the phone with me on a Saturday explaining my options and the complete job and his specific process. He uses peel and stick roofing under his shingles and it's standard in all of his roofs. He gave me the velux skylight state wide representatives phone number to make sure I got the answers and information on the hurricane low e with built in solar blackout shades my wife researched and wanted. I called him and he told me exactly what to order. After 2 more calls to him with questions I was never pressured or up sold on any anything. Otneil ordered exactly what I needed from the manufacturer. I also went with solar roof attic fans after discussing my options with him. I contracted with his company after we decided what color they got started and the complete job went perfect. His employees came out and worked hard all day in the summer. They worked almost till dark and came out the following morning to finish up. They cleaned up perfectly and protected my shrubs and plants. I have dogs so I was concerned with nails and debris. When they left the place was spotless. Alvarez is my new roofer and I have now recommend his company to my friends and my family. He wasn't the cheapest or the most expensive but right n the middle. After my job was complete weeks later my mom called him for an estimate and he went out personally to her house to give her an estimate. While there he patched 2 little leaks in her roof from nails and told her she didn't need a new roof for a while. No charge at all. Who does that now a days. I couldn't even get some companies to return my calls for an estimate. I don't do a lot of recommendations but they have earned a customer in me for life. There are some companies that still take pride in servicing the customer. What a concept huh, great company you will not be disappointed. read more

You don't get a perfect 5-star rating for a reason and Alvarez Home Repairs (mainly all roofs) gets another extremely satisfied customer. A roof is a pretty big expense and it's probably the most critical component of your home that needs replacing so you want someone who can do it right the first time and offer honesty throughout the whole process. From Omar (estimator), to Otneil (owner), and all his crew from start to finish, truly a great experience and yes, they do care and take pride in their work and it definitely shows! I would like to say whoever is reading this as a consumer, take 2 hours of your time and do your homework and research about roofs and all the components that goes into one. Not only will you be more informed of all the lingo, but you know exactly what you're buying and what each company offers when you get your quotes - you'll be surprised the differences from one to the other - and a main reason why I went with Alvarez. Omar is very pleasant to work with and answer all your questions and so is Otniel who has come out 3 times to inspect and ensure things are going smooth. I think the hardest decision was the color of my shingle (nailed it BTW)! They were done in two days and took great care of the cleanup. The roof looks great... and the attention to detail really shows. I highly recommend Alvarez for your roofing needs! read more
