Isaac and his team at Amazon Roofing & Masonry have performed several jobs for us over the last year or so, and we have been completely satisfied with each one. The initial work was after a storm damaged our roof in late 2020. Isaac handled a lot of the coordination with our insurance company and scheduling of inspections with their adjuster. This took a HUGE load off our plate and made the entire process of fixing our roof pretty much stress-free. Talk about value-added service! Isaac provided helpful consultation on roofing materials, and the Amazon Roofing team performed the repairs efficiently and well. We have since had Amazon Roofing & Masonry perform drywall work and some other "handyman" type work. We have been very pleased with each job. He is now our "go to" guy when home repairs or renovations are needed. The fact that he is local to us and very familiar with our neighborhood is also a nice plus. I heartily recommend him and his team. I'll also note that, prior to asking Isaac to perform our roof repairs, we requested references and Isaac offered us more references than we were prepared to check - all local to our neighborhood, by the way. Those references that I did call all gave glowing reviews of Isaac's work. After working with him, I would do the same. It's become harder and harder to find good quality service providers over the years - Amazon Roofing & Masonry is a very welcome exception to this trend. read more

So this spring I bought my first home. Exciting hu? I'm all doe eyed, and full of pep and sweat equity. I've been watching the home and garden channel, and am ready to turn my little Pilsen/Little Village fixer uper into a first rate man castle. Except for one little problem, or actually hundreds of thousands of little problems, termites. I didn't buy a house I bought a brick box built around at least three full blown termite cities. The house was almost completely eaten with termites and inspectors didn't catch it. I am full on screwed, until I met Isaac Rodriguez, owner of Amazon Roofing and Masonry. I met him almost a year before because he was working on the porch right next to the apt I lived in. I rebuild motorcycles and he was all about asking questions because he wanted a bike himself. After I found out about my termite issues, I called him because I wanted the advice of somebody I already knew (there are a lot of shady dudes in Chicago you know!) Anyway he agreed to help me out. He would do some structural work, put on a new roof, and do some masonry work too, and all he promised within the budget I had to work with. Wellll, he did put on a roof which has not leaked yet, and after months of harassment he finished the structure work at a cost of $5,000 more than we agreed on in the first place. However, he left never to return, and stopped returning phone calls after he got all the money in my repair budget. In fact he owes me $2,500 for electrical work that he swore up and down he had a permit for, but when I checked with the city of Chicago, they had never head of him. No permit had ever been pulled so I had to get someone else to do it, and he has ignored all my requests for a refund on the work they didn't do. So as my first yelp commentary I would ask that you not only do not use Amazon Roofing for your roofing and or masonry and or home is about to collapse around your ears style projects, but that you give this gentleman Isaac a call and and ask him to please give back Quinton his $2,500. I could use that money on other things right about now. Like on a kitchen, or on a toilet you don't need to flush with a garden hose! read more

We were shocked when our 10 yr old roof sustained enough storm damage to ruin the bedroom ceiling. Paint had bubbled up and water was dripping through the light fixture. Luckily we were referred to Amazon Roofing. Isaac came out promptly to inspect the problem and the next day had a tarp installed on the roof to prevent further damage. He was in constant contact with us through the insurance claim process which was reassuring. Once the claim was approved his team installed a new roof to our liking. We appreciated both the work and clean-up. Then he made sure we were satisfied with the ceiling repair and painting. If we are ever in need of construction work we know who to trust with our home. read more

Mr. Isaac Rodriguez is very committed and met his end of the bargain very well. He took the time to answer all of our questions and explained all the process to us. He tore off the old shingles, updated the ice and water shield to meet city codes, installed a beautiful metal roof and matching new gutters and down spouts. All of the problems we had with all our old roof were corrected. We get many compliments from neighbors and on lookers. His employees were very respectful on the property and cleaned up well after themselves. They completed the work within the expected time frame. read more

I met Isaac Rodriguez of Amazon Roofing and Masonry when he did some roof repair work. Isaac was courteous and easy to get in touch with, which was important to me because the project had to be done in stages and weather didn't always permit him to work. Even after the job had been finished and Isaac had been paid, he came back to look at some other work that needed to be done and did it for free. read more

Isaac did a good job for me. his workers still did the job on the roof even in bad weather conditions. i know they took a little more time than they were supposed to but it was due to the weather in the winter. i am very happy with the job he did for me so i recommend Amazon Roofing & Masonry. read more

Amazon Roofing work owned by Isaac Rodriguez in Chicago was to say the least a nightmare. We met him as a nice charismatic guy, seemed to be sincere and genuine. Well that proved to be the way he preys on good people. He began working on our home June 1st 09, with many promises to finish the job by June 22nd. We became very concerned that June 22nd had come and gone and we were no where near completion. Our home was in chaos, debris and dust, hundreds of pounds everywhere. Mind you we have two children living in shambles. He was very persistent in receiving full payment talking about the beautiful home we would have and that our house would be in livable condition in no time. By July 11, 09 Mr Rodriguez had gotten paid the full balance as he talked, persisted and insisted he have full balance for the home piece of the renovation, mind you the house was no where near completion. We also had paid him 1/2 payment for the deck which he never built. Normally if you are dealing with an honest contractor with integrity you pay the full balance after work is completed and the client is satisfied. That should have been a RED FLAG for us but we believed that he would own up to the contractual agreement and his word. When work began June 1st he started out with seven workers in the first week, the following weeks and for the duration of the project the workers began to dwindle to two, then one. There were many instances no one would show up to work on our home for days and weeks at a time. We made hundreds of cell phone calls for six months and many went unanswered. On many occasions he would not answer our calls and when he did he would make many promises of having his workers come over but never show up. Only when it was convenient for Mr Rodriguez would he have a worker show up. To make matters worse the worker would not have the appropriate material or lacked equipment to start or finish the job. His own workers would share with us how frustrating it was that Mr Rodriguez would not equip them with the proper materials to finish our job. They often shared with us why would he do something so cruel to us. They also shared that they had not gotten paid by Mr Rodriguez for over three weeks at a time. Mr Rodriguez told his workers that they had not gotten paid because we had not paid him. Of course that was another one of Mr Rodriguez tactics to turn things around for his benefit. We had all of the paid checks Mr Rodriguez had cashed on the same day he got paid. The workers also shared with us that he has clients including senior citizens under the same depressive situation as ours/or worse. The job went at a snails pace and was pieced throughout the whole time. We were living in duress conditions, we had no electricity, no stove, no bathroom and no where to sleep for five months. We had extreme challenges with no idea what the next day would bring. We had hundreds of pounds of debris in the back yard that was never picked up by Mr Rodriguez. Again he promised he would get a dumpster but it never came. It took us five weeks to clean up the back yard mess. By October and November Mr Rodriguez had new workers (not the original) we had never seen before. Of course the new workers had no idea what Mr Rodriguez is all about. We have no back exit from the house as he never built the deck however he did cash the deck check. By November 09 he was still piecing the job and asking for more money for the deck. We told him he would not see another penny from us. This time his con game did not work and since then we never saw him again. Beware he may change his company name but he can't change his personal name. read more

I would like to let the people of the greater Chicago area to know "not use Amazon Roofing and masonry that is owed by Isaac Rodriguez in the portage neighborhood in Chicago". First of all he is nothing but a con artist ripping folks off and not paying his workers. When you don't pay the workers then they will not show up for work like in the beginning. Plus Isaac Rodriguez is not on the job sight for days at a time and when he is there it's only to pick up a check or knowing that the client's) will be around the home at that. I have never in my adult life experience such poor and unprofessional of a company on any level like Amazon Roofing. One day my wife ask one of the workers about why they didn't they show up to work the prior day and he mention that "Isaac hadn't paid them from last week's"....my jaw drop like it was broke and I couldn't close it.......we showed them the cancel checks that were cash at the bank..... not put in his (Isaac) checking account would go straight to the bank and cash the check each time. The work was dragging along due to the fact the Isaac would piece things together , meaning not buying what is needed to complete the project and move on to the next project, constantly going back to redo areas is a lack of communication on Isaac's part. It took them four months to do 3/4 of a whole job which a 1/4 yet to be completed have plenty more to write such out of time, however"DO NOT USE AMAZON ROOFING AND MASONRY OWNED BY ISAAC RODRIGUEZ YOU WILL REGRET IT AND SPEND MORE MONEY TO HAVE IT DONE RIGHT".......... read more
