BEWARE!!!!!!!! I am just appalled. I got my new roof 13 months ago. Within 2 months, I had my first leak. Excellent response from owner - sealed that leak up, no problem. Next issue, tried to open my skylight - the crew installed my skylight backwards, rendering it inoperable. Sent a guy out, reinstalled it, thought "great! no problem". So I went to open my skylight, it is broken, he damaged it on the re-install. Lastly, I'll let the photos speak for themselves. I have had a call from the owner, Lior Leviav, acknowledging his crew significantly damaged my eaves, burned my fascia, splintered the underside of my patio roof by using nails that were too large for the job, but I have had NO offer of help, repair, compensation to make this right. I obtained 3 quotes from professional painters who will need to file down these nails one by one, patch the holes, re-prime and paint, remove spilled tar from the eaves, repair burned fascia and the quotes range from $5500- $3500. I have submitted a formal request for payment so I can repair this damage that California First Roofing have caused and I have received no written response. There is not one single square foot of roof that is not punctured by these nail holes, splintering my wood. I am disgusted that a company as big as this cannot do the right thing and pay for the damage they caused. When speaking with Lior Leviav about a $4000 quote for repairs, (which does not include skylight repairs) Lior told me "It's not worth my while, the painter is trying to rip me off". In fact it is California First Roofing who is trying to rip ME off. I paid almost $15K for a roof that has leaked, rendered my skylight inoperable, absolutely destroyed the wood beams in my eaves and patio and am now being ignored. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! Heading to small claims court so I can get the repairs done. Will update as we go!

California First Roofing is the right company for your roofing needs. I used them to replace a roof on my old house and they did a great job at a reasonable price. They showed us a lot of options but decided to move forward with asphalt shingles, Owen's Cornering. The finished job look great and what I like I about them the most is that they did not try to up sell me on anything. Again, cannot say enough good things about them

We just got our flat roof replaced by California First. They were super helpful in the quote process and made great recommendations for us (TPO instead.of torch down). They showed up on time and finished ahead of schedule. We had a few questions and concerns through the process but they were super professional and took care of everything. Would definitely recommend for their value, quality of work, speed and customer service.

See all

Outstanding Experience with Smart Roofing & Restoration! I…read moream writing to express my sincere appreciation for the excellent work done by Smart Roofing & Restoration. From start to finish, the team provided exceptional service and quality workmanship. A special shoutout to Dominic, whose customer service was outstanding. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled smoothly. The crew on-site was incredibly polite, respectful, and did an excellent job on the roof. Left my yard cleaner than when they arrived. I especially appreciated their transparency throughout the process. The company takes clear photos of the areas that need repair before starting so you know exactly what needs to be fixed and can trust their honesty. Once the job was finished, they provided photos of the completed work, which gave great peace of mind. In the office, Lydia was awesome--helpful, patient, and friendly throughout. Thank you to the entire team for a stress-free experience. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, top-quality roofing services!

Despite not technically being liable for the original job, the owner Spencer showed tremendous integrity by agreeing to fix a leak discovered during the last rains. Adolfo worked on the repair with efficiency & was very thorough in ensuring the leak was fixed properly. They ran a water & moisture test to confirm. Spencer also gave us a longterm warranty on their workmanship should any additional issues arise in the leak location. Very impressed by the type of business this company runs & would highly recommend. I will personally shy away from solar/ roofing combo companies now bc many have high turnover rates given the reduction in California subsidies- sticking with a roofing first company like Smart Roofing would be the way to go.

His attention to detail and consideration of the customer's concerns are unparalleled. His employees are top tier, providing solid progress each and every day they worked on my home this week. They were considerate and cleaned up the work-site before leaving each day. I was blown away by the care and consideration that Adail himself offered. He went way above and beyond his competitors when he took care of additional items that were needing attention on his personal dime, not asking for additional money. He truly puts the customer first, he wants to ensure that every job shows the true level of professionalism that he and his crew exude. After all, it is his name behind the business, so he has additional incentive to keep his reputation and name clean. At no time did he "cut corners", nor did he try to upsale me or do any underhanded tactics. His original visit and estimate was the true cost at the end of the project. Adail also personally was up on my roof to take care of a number of wood fascia/trim pieces that were rotted out needing replacement. Him and his team's workmanship was top tier. He took it upon himself to see that there were no eyesores in the fascia, nor the tile selections or even the placement of the new tiles and solar vents. Everything he did was carefully thought out and considered. He went around the neighborhood to evaluate the look/feel to be considerate of the HOA requirements. He took the time to explain anything and everything that I wanted to know about and the reasoning behind the choices that were made. At no time did I feel pressured or talked down to. He took pictures and provided them daily to show the progress and ensure I felt comfortable and any concern/question I had was answered with utmost professionalism. This week there was high winds due to a Santa Ana. Even though his team had put in 9 hours already, they spent the extra time to secure the roof to ensure there would be nothing flying off in the high winds left overnight or rain. Really appreciate his considerateness. Adail took the time to also get to know me and my family. Adail is one of the few people you meet in life and are left with a sense of blessing to have had such a positive interaction and experience. I enthusiastically recommend his company for your roofing needs!

Our awesome experience started with Mike coming out to inspect our roof, taking pics and sharing them with us, while thoroughly explaining the replacement process. His sense of humor and willingness to answer all of our questions was great. The project itself couldn't have been easier. Junior and the crew showed up on time every day, worked their butts off, and did a killer job cleaning up every day. Nothing was a surprise at the end- our solid quote was what we paid. For anyone looking for a stand-up roofing company, that delivers what they promise with a great attitude and excellent workmanship, go with Cowboy's Roofing. Thank you Cowboy's, for such an easy project with no stress!!

Cowboy's Roofing quoted our full flat roof at $20,130 for a silicone coating system (pressure…read morewashing, acrylic base coat, polyester fabric, and silicone). We started with one section for $13,061, and they also installed a skylight for $1,084. The work was sloppy. They pressure-washed old roofing debris down our downspouts into our drains and rain collection buckets, and they splattered silicone on our trim. They came back to clean up the debris and repaint the trim, but only after we raised both issues. After that job, the uncoated section started leaking, which we believe was caused by foot traffic from their or the solar company's crew. To avoid voiding the workmanship warranty on the first section by bringing in another company, we had Cowboy's coat the rest for $7,655. That's $20,716 for the coating, $586 more than their own full-roof quote. After the first rain, I found that the coating doesn't seal against the wood trim along the roof walls. There are open gaps with bare wood exposed, and in some spots the coating bridges over a void instead of bonding. The trim along those edges is now water-damaged. I sent photos and asked them to address it under their 10-year workmanship warranty. By phone, I was told it isn't covered because their job was "only silicone" (the proposals list four steps, not one), that the gaps were there before (we had a dry rot inspection and repairs done before they started), and that we need a wall cap. None of their three proposals, including the full-roof quote, ever mentioned a wall cap. Their project coordinator says the operations manager will call to make a final decision. I'll update this review with the outcome. Based on our experience, I can't recommend them. Over $21,000 later, we have an unsealed roof edge, water-damaged trim, and a warranty they say doesn't apply to their own work. If you do hire them, don't assume anything is covered unless it's written into the proposal.

I received…read moreseveral quotes, but Sunline Energy was the only company that recommended fixing the root of the problem rather than just putting a Band-Aid on it. My skylight had been installed incorrectly by another company, which was contributing to the moisture issue. Since skylight repairs can be a relatively small job, I found that not many reputable companies were interested in doing this type of work. I was very happy to find Sunline Energy. Juan handled the skylight and related roof and flashing repairs, and I can't say enough about the quality of his work. He is a perfectionist and took the time to make sure everything was done correctly. He went above and beyond and fixed both the skylight and surrounding roof area beyond my expectations. Based on my experience and the quality of Juan's work, I would highly recommend Sunline Energy to anyone needing skylight or related roof repairs.

Adding on after Sunline Energy's response: I did not mention the following yet it is important to do so, in 2024 3 roofing companies told me that the roof was past due on repair, I had mentioned what happened with Sunline Energy in 2023 and was told that your company as well as others install on roofs that are not healthy enough and even with replacement of shingles the plywood was not thick enough to support solar panels, in other words, Sunline never mentioned something that was felt just by walking on the roof, ethics should be as important as obtaining a sale because people work hard to keep there home maintained, honesty is the best policy, I understand that the company must achieve sales but situations as so are very disturbing, Sunline Energy continues to owe us $1,000 due to a deposit for a job that never took place.

I also want to give a special thank you to the project manager, Rigo. From the very first day he came out to provide the estimate, he was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful.
