Best Decision We Could Have Made Choosing a company to replace your roof is a big decision. Your roof protects your home, your family, and a huge part of your property's value. So when the time came for us to replace ours, we looked at several companies. In the end, choosing Cal Roof was absolutely the right call. From start to finish, they were incredibly responsive, kind, caring, and professional. Every step of the process was handled with attention and care, and you could tell immediately that this is a company that truly takes pride in their work. They weren't the cheapest option, and honestly, when it comes to something as critical as your roof, do you really want the cheapest? At the same time, they weren't the most expensive either. What they were was honest, fair, and incredibly easy to work with. I worked directly with Doug, and he's just one of those people you immediately trust. He's personable, knowledgeable, and a straight shooter who clearly loves what he does. You get the sense that roofing is in his DNA. That authenticity and professionalism ultimately made the decision easy for us. The result? A beautiful new roof, no more leaks, and real peace of mind knowing our home is safe and dry. If I could offer one piece of advice to homeowners, it would be this: don't wait until your roof starts leaking like we did. Be proactive. Have your roof inspected regularly and work with a company you trust. For us, that company is Cal Roof. And choosing them was one of the best home improvement decisions we've made. read more

In October of 2022 we had a new roof put on our commercial building. Every year since then our tenants have informed us of leaks. Every year we call. 3-7-2026 Cal Roof went out and fixed the areas where the building still leaks. Unfortunately, we won't know if it is fixed or not until it rains but we do appreciate the service and will update when we can. read more

Cal Roof replaced our roof on 12/12/24. The process went smoothly, and the team finished in three days. They cleaned the surrounding area and property afterward. Although the manager was behind schedule on the first day, they promptly informed us, which we appreciated. After completion, we found several issues: broken garage panels, a missing attic panel, and exposed porch nails. We told the manager when he picked up the check. He called them 'just cosmetic' but said his team would fix them. No one came until I followed up, and repairs were finished on May 30, 2025, including replacing damaged wood on the porch and garage. About three months later (August 2025), brown stains appeared on the porch ceiling. When it rained, brown water poured from the gutters. I contacted the manager again, but he did not respond. The next week, a team member came while we were not home and painted over the porch wood, but this did not fix the stains or the underlying problem. Overall, the initial process and communication would be a 5/5, but the quality of the work and follow-through would be closer to a 3/5. read more

UPDATE: Since my initial review, the company sent a roofer back to fix some of the areas of concern. They also sent someone to clean up the DG, unfortunately, it's something where prevention is the only cure. Roof debris is simply a part of our DG now. I appreciate the company coming back to try to make it right. We got 5 quotes before choosing Cal Roof. My husband really liked Doug and trusted his expertise. The overall quality of the roof only time will tell, but demo was a disaster. The guys were unprofessional and did a terrible job protecting our landscape. We had DG installed in the last month and they destroyed it. It is littered with roof debris. We gave the company the opportunity to make it right, they didn't show up when they said they would, then re-scheduled and didn't show for that. It would be impossible to clean the DG fully, it's become completely mixed with the dirt. I had to go around collecting screws they dropped all over the property including a couple that ended up piercing through my kids shoes. I would have picked a different company had I known demo would have been that terribly managed. read more

Great experience with Cal Roof. Had a leak in my roof and couldn't figure out where it was coming from. Had a few other contractors come out and they just told me I needed to have the entire roof redone. House is only about 14 years old so was pretty bummed. Cal Roof came and did what the others didn't, they pulled up the tiles and said the paper was still in good condition but they found a small tear which was right where the leak was. They quickly patched it and my leak is fixed! Nice to work with such a honest and professional company. Highly recommended, other neighbors have used them as well near me and have had great things to say. read more

Job was done fast and respond was quite immediate. Hasn't been able to check the work since no rain recently but I did look at how they did the job and it looked good. Quote was competitive as well. Good for small repair. read more

Great experience and very professional. I received very fast response from my inquiry. Doug came out to the house to evaluate the job, he was on time, and provided a very reasonable quote. Job crew showed up on time, completed the work as requested and cleaned up afterwards. I would definitely do business with Cal Roof again for my needs... quality business, Thank You !!!! read more

Let me tell you, on time on budget great communication! Salute to Doug who understood the special needs of our project and communicated consistently throughout the job. Believe this, getting people to care anymore and take pride is getting harder and harder to come by. Cal Roof and Doug get it! Look no further. read more

We highly recommend Cal Roof for your roofing needs. Doug was very easy to work with and made the whole process a pleasant one, from proposal to planning to completion. Our communication were done mostly through text with occasional phone calls, during which Doug was very responsive to our myriad of questions and really helped put us at ease with the project. We commend Doug and his crew for a job well done. Both my husband and I are very happy with the experience. read more

Great communication, superior quality and professionalism start to finish. Highly recommend Doug and his crew.

Doug is so professional I called him to come look at another roofers job that did a horrible job, he came by (he's one of the three companies we called for a quote) and my husband who is a contractor loved him the most... from the start he is honest, and even praised the other companies that came out for a quote and said really positive things about them. It's really hard to find a genuinely nice person who isn't really out to get you these days, and I highly recommend this Comapny if you are looking for someone who is very responsive and honest. Thank you for your advice and kindness. read more

We highly recommend Cal Roof! Owner Doug Barry and his team did an excellent job replacing our roof. They were professional, friendly and the quality of their work was exceptional and affordable. Our house looks amazing with the new roof, we went a dark gray charcoal and it made the house look more updated. Plus, the peace of mind knowing that when it rains- no more leaks! Thank you, Cal Roof, for the outstanding service! read more

Hands down this is the best roofing company in San Diego! I had a leaky roof and Doug the owner had no hesitation in helping me and sending a crew out! He had all my shingles redone and even fixed my leak for free. This is the best company in San Diego hands down! read more

We contacted 5 roofing companies for quotes and Cal Roof responded immediately with a proposal including Ariel pictures of our roof. They then came out to inspect the roof and walk me through the scope of work including the type and benefits of the shingles they prefer to use. I did a bit of research and the shingles were rated top of the line. Their pricing for the work was very reasonable compared to the other quotes and Doug was very responsive and easy to contact. Doug squeezed us into their work schedule since we were on a tight timeline to install solar. There was rotted wood that needed replacement , yet the final cost was very close to the original estimate. The workers were courteous and cleaned up the property well after the roof was done. The permits and final inspection were turned around quickly and we had sign off the same week that the job was done! I was very impressed with all aspects of working with Cal Roof, and Doug in particular, from the initial estimate to closing out the permits. I highly recommend them! read more

They showed up in masks, did a great job and removing all 3 layers of old roof , replacing boards that were rotting and putting on the new roof. I love the new color and am happy with the job done read more

Wow. Stay away from this charlatan. Doug Barry, the owner of this company, assessed the roof leak on my veterinary hospital after having been contacted by my hospital administrator. I am the owner of two veterinary hospitals in San Diego. Doug Barry stated the repair would cost $750.00 on June 1, 2020. My hospital administrator called him weekly for two months to get a written estimate and a date for leak repair. Each week he had various excuses about why we had not received the estimate and or date for repair. After TWO months Doug had still failed to produce an estimate or arrange for repair. He had a myriad of excuses. As the owner of the practice, I became frustrated and called Doug Barry myself. He promised to repair the roof on Sunday but he needed to send invoice first. He promised to send invoice to my email when he returned to the office. No invoice was received. I called him again and received more excuses. He promised to send invoice first thing the next morning. Still no invoice. I texted him again, "Seriously, No estimate again. This is amazing." After lying to me on two separate occasions I finally received an estimate at 1:37 pm. on Tuesday, August 4. I had first called him on Friday July 31. TWO months have elapsed since his first visit to the hospital on June 1, 2020. I texted him, "Lie once, shame on you. Lie twice shame on me. I have called a reputable roofer to assess the situation and give PROMPT estimate for a SPEEDY repair. You cannot believe anything Doug Barry says. I would not let him touch my roof. Beware. read more

Doug and his guys are awesome. Clean, efficient, friendly. I would use them again in a heartbeat.

We compared a bunch of roofing companies and found that CalRoof offered a competitive bid. Not all contactors would work on such tall hard to access building. Once the project was done we figured they where the right choice as they where responsive and did they didn't go over budget. Problems came up like rotten wood and such and they took pictures and explained the situation. They were reasonable and they kept me informed every step of the way of what my options where. They are predictable and reliable and I recommend them. read more

Cal Roof just installed a new roof for us a few weeks ago. Doug and his crew were very professional and courteous. They did everything they promised and our roof looks great! Also, Doug will help you when deciding which roofing material to go with and which manufacturer. There are so many choices, it's a bit overwhelming. Highly recommend! read more

FIVE STARS! Doug Berry and his crew were top notch professionals! From the first meeting for the free estimate to the final meeting and sign off on the job, this company and the owner were wonderful! The pricing was extremely fair and in the same ballpark among the other estimates we got from other companies. We chose to go with Doug because of his honesty and knowledge about the job and the product he uses. The crew showed up early every morning and worked a full day, every day until the job was done. They were clean and considerate throughout all phases of the work. The product they used to replace our old tar and gravel flat roof has lowered the temperature inside the house by around 10 degrees, as well, which is amazing and is performing exactly as Doug said it would, and the roof leak and rotted wood we formerly had from the old roof is now GONE! Doug and his crew really went above and beyond our expectations and that was just their normal business practice - we didn't have to ask them for anything, they just did everything right as part of their usual daily protocol. Top that off with the fact that they finished on time and on budget, even with some extra wood replacement, and we were one wowed customer! Out of the 3 businesses we interviewed, we are SO HAPPY that we chose Cal Roof Inc. I can't say enough good things about the owner and this company. I highly recommend Cal Roof! read more

Doug Barry at Cal Roof recently completed major work on our home's tile roof. Doug gave very good bid for project that included installation of new painted fascia. Fascia upgrade was important to us as wood was old and damaged. Quality materials were installed by hard-working crew. We particularly liked prompt response to questions. We are very satisfied with Cal Roof's work. Great job at great price. read more
