Buzz Doughty is a general contractor that also has a roofing company. I had Doughty Enterprises replace the roof of my home in November 2025. Buzz Doughty and his crew just completed installing a new roof on our home and we are extremely pleased with the results. I watched Doughty Roofing replace the roof on the house across the street and was impressed by the crew's efficiency and work. I met Buzz when they were cleaning up on the job across the street; I asked him if he could look at my place and give me an estimate. He took a great deal of time to explained his estimate procedure. Buzz said it was a two-day job and responded quickly, answering questions right away, and came back with a good bid that same day. The work was completed between the recent storms in one day plus a couple of hours the next. Service started very quickly after signing the contract and was finished ahead of schedule and they did a great job. I'm very pleased with their work ethic and overall value for money spent. The workers were considerate (no loud radio music!) and cleaned up very thoroughly after themselves. I can say without hesitation that it was a great experience from start to finish. Buzz has been in business for 47 years-He's definitely doing things right! Len, 11/7/2025 read more

Doughty Enterprises repaired a solar tube in the roof to our home that had a leak that had been worsening with every passing year. We now have a custom fitting, better combination solar tube and sky light that required considerable skill to complete on a sloped roof that also had a small dip in how it was original constructed. However, each step of the way, Buzz very kindly informed us of every detail and necessary deviation from what was first anticipated. We fully expected the cost to be higher, but he kept it to his original estimate, which was very competitive, showed up on time and finished in the time represented. It just doesn't get better than hiring a local, well regarded, highly skilled and conscientious company with great employees, all of the right tools and who has uncommonly great integrity. When they left, everything was cleaned up to the point that it seemed like they had not been here. Truly, the very little negotiation needed entirely stopped when the contract was signed and the work was all reliably done with no surprises or any further sales pitches or demands whatsoever. What a pleasure to work with this company! My wife and I very highly recommend Doughty Enterprises. Bill Fritz read more

I spent quite a lot of time researching and interviewing roofing companies before deciding on Doughty and I'm very pleased with the results. They were helpful with material decisions without pressure or "scare tactics". They were always accessible and answered all my questions. Once the job started they were prompt and efficient. I felt the teams were well managed And any time they needed additional materials someone would just go get them, keeping delays to a minimum. They took pics along the way so I could see what was going on up there. I was consulted whenever there was an issue or option. Afterwards they did a very thorough cleanup. they Also replaced an old leaky skylight. I love my new roof! good job Doughty! read more

We had Doughty Enterprises install a new roof on our home. We had five bids from other contractors during the process. Buzz Doughty came to our home and did a thorough review of what we wanted and made several suggestions which is ultimately what we went with. He was very knowlegable and guided us through our project. The price seemed fair for the amount of work required. The crew worked hard, did a fantastic job and finished the project on time. We couldn't be happier with results and we have had several compliments from our neighbors. If you are looking for a new roof or other home improvement project for your home, I highly recommend Doughty Enterprises. David La Fever, Santa Rosa read more

Great Company. Proactive and thorough. Would definitely use them again should I have the opportunity.

I watched Doughty Roofing replace the roof on the house across the street and was impressed by their work. After gathering 3 estimates I selected Doughty to install new roofing and gutters. Buzz and company were a classic case of under promising and over delivering. They finished ahead of schedule and did a great job. I'm very pleased with their work ethic and overall value. read more

Doughty Enterprises did a wonderful job on our new roof, we are so happy with the work. Communication was fantastic and the job was done within 2 days. Also, clean up was top notch! read more

We were very happy with our new roof. It looks fabulous. Great communication. Considerate workers and cleaned up very thoroughly after themselves. Service started very quickly after first contact. We got lucky on that! Did 3800sq ft roof in 2 days. Fair pricing and we got a lot of bids. Buzz is great!! read more

My roof was done by Doughty enterprises late 2020, not only did I get the best pricing from them, they also did a great job ripping off and replacing my entire house roof with minimal mess. Thank you for such a great service read more

I had Doughty Enterprises replace the roof of my home in January of 2022. They did a wonderful job! They're workers are friendly, who worked very hard and did an efficient and quality job. I highly recommend this Roofing contractor! read more

Doughty Roofing was excellent to deal with from the start. They responded quickly, answered questions right away, got me a bid asap for a roof replacement. They fit me into the schedule in a few weeks and came out and did the job in 2 days. The crew was polite and friendly and took great care with my home and landscaping. Buzz came out to check on the job twice and was very professional. They were also the lowest bid of 5 roofing companies - on top of being the best to communicate with. I highly recommend this local family owned company! One other aside - many of their crew has been there for 20 + years which says a lot about how they are taken care of. read more

Doughty Enterprises came highly recommended by several of my friends. Doughty Enterprises did not disappoint. They were punctual, polite, and did a fantastic job on my roof. I, too, highly recommend them. Ron Gilbert Santa Rosa read more

Had a great experience contracting with Doughty Enterprises for the re-roofing of my home in Santa Rosa. I think the process was expedited by Covid-19, but it was really fast: Bob (their estimator) was out here on a Friday, they started the following Monday, and it was done by Tuesday at 3 pm. I barely had time to mourn the old roof, ha ha. They basically throw a lot of labor at your roof - like 6 or 8 guys. My old roof was super stubborn - thousands of nails holding down a brittle, polymer shake that should have never been manufactured in the first place. But they ripped it up with "great vengeance and furious anger" and I was happy to see it go. New shingles were meticulously applied, as well as 10 air vents (high and low) for ventilation (required by code). They also touched up the existing sheet metal flashings and vent pipes, and painted them to match the new shingle color. The crew was really friendly, and polite. They had all been working for Doughty for a long time. The new roof looks sharp and the bid was competitive. Just a flawless experience overall. No complaints whatsoever. read more

I contacted them for roof repair. No response. Update- Owner states offices were closed that day so changing review to neutral. It would be nice if businesses could post automatic out of office reply's to Yelp inquiries so clients could be informed. read more

Our tiny home was leaking through the trim around our windows and door. We had Doughty Enterprises come out to diagnose and repair. They have a three hour minimum charge and a trip fee so make sure you have a $500 job on your hands first... They said they sent their foreman and it would be fixed no problem. After some discussion of the issue and observing where the possible source was, it was determined that our builder didn't install any flashing in between where our siding meets at a butt joint about 10 feet up the wall. The workers decided the best course of action was to caulk the seam all around to stop the water from getting in even more. This was the only real solution due to lack of materials on hand and impending rain. I could have done the actual caulking myself, but I didn't have the experience to identify the issue without their trained eyes. After a few days of more rain, water started coming through the same areas again, but at a slower rate. So we know the cause, but the fix wasn't permanent, unfortunately. I got up their and reapplied to the same joint where their caulk had been washed away. No big deal. We will be getting quotes to remove the siding and install the proper waterproofing now that we have enough dry days ahead of us. Overall, our problem didn't stem from anything Doughty Enterprises is responsible for and they did the best they could given the circumstances. I probably should have hired a handyman instead of a roofing company to save on costs, but maybe a handyman wouldn't have seen what the guys at Doughty were able to... read more

After collecting 5 bids for a new roof, I decided to go with Doughty Enterprises. Their bid was the lowest of the 5 bids but that wasn't entirely the reason I chose them. Bob came out to my house to take the estimate and it was from that conversation that I chose them for the job. Bob was clearly experienced and very knowledgeable. My instinct told me that this was the right company to put the new roof on my house. The contract called for the removal of my wood shake roof (the original roof and 27 years old) and replace it with an upper grade composition roof. On July 3rd 2019 the demo crew arrived promptly around 7:30 am and setup to strip the old roof off and apply the moisture barrier. Sure it was noisy work but they were stripping the roof off. After 27 years the shake roof had degraded to almost a balsa wood quality. I was glad to see it gone. At the end of the day, the roof was stripped and ready. Since the next day was the 4th of July they obviously had the day off, but on the 5th they were back. A truck arrived with the supplies and it was able to lift pallets of roofing clear up to the top of my two story house. I believe they finished my roof a little early that day and we were pleased with everything. Our color choice exceeded our expectation. The bid for the roof included a bid for new gutters and down spouts. They were installed a couple of days later by a separate company that worked with Doughty Enterprises. I was impressed at how the gutter company suggested some changes to the old gutter layout. Specifically, I have a gutter that runs the entire length of my house. The gutter guy noted that the old gutter only had one down spout and it wasn't enough to handle the water from such a long gutter. He suggested adding two down spouts to handle the water. This was an addition to my original bid but he did not charge me with it. He could of just replaced the gutters as they were. But he saw an area for improvement and he brought it to my attention. There were one or two other modifications from the original gutter layout which changed where the down spouts were located. It all turned out perfectly. I gave Doughty Enterprises 5 stars. read more

These guys don't mess around,started tue. They where done wed.,the roof is gorgeous,gutters flawless, the vents they used are very sharp looking(never realy looked or cared about) they realy make a difference, I noticed in my garage a big diff., the guys on this crew exceptional, fast,nice,good people,cleaned up ok ,few little things not much. I would highly recomend Doughty Enterprises to anybody looking for a new roof, fair price,great people,great people to work with, all in all a good experience read more

Everett, I read your "apology" and wish that you would have turned down our job. Hopefully, your being "inundated with roof repairs" in the future will be the result of doing quality work in a timely manner, at a realistic price. You are certainly allowed to create whatever policy you like, and charge whatever the market will bear. You are also allowed to refuse to guarantee your work, but I am certain that the policies you have in place will not be conducive to a successful business. How would you feel if I sold you a truck, and two days later you went to drive it and found that it did not meet your reasonable expectations? Like we expected the roof would not leak? How about we sold your wife a car, and when she went to drive it two days later, the seat was soaking wet because I had not adjusted the sunroof properly. What is your current explanation of your labor rate? When you called a couple of days ago to unload on me (and my sister) you said your labor rate was $75.00 per man hour. $75 was the same rate you quoted when we first discussed the job, but in your comments below you are claiming $95.00. 1-1/2 hr x 2 men $75 = $225 $ 195.00 for what? total $420 + $100 material and you still do not guarantee your work? Please explain Your comment "until nearly a month......" is from some strange idea of reality. It rained two days after your stop at our shop, and we called the next day. Back to your inundated problem, we had to make two or three calls before you got back to us and said that you did not guarantee your work. About paying you, on December 2nd our bookkeeper prepared, and I signed a check for $520 to Doughty Enterprises. I decided not to mail it until you'd properly stopped the leak. I voided it a couple of days later after listening to you. As far as resolving the issue I'm considering forward our Yelp exchange to https://www.cslb.ca.tomorrow afternoon and then will either repair the roof myself or hire someone else to repair it. I'll also contract with another company to repair the rain gutters on this building. How would you want to "resolve this issue" PS: This might be a wonderful time to consider The Golden Rule read more

Where to start. From start to finish I really appreciate how Doughty enterprises responded to us. We had a need---we had a leaky roof. We called three different roofers (all highly rated on Yelp), the bids came back at $12.5 for doughty all the way to $16k for another. It was not just cost that had us chops doughty enterprises, it was how quickly they could put us on the schedule---the others were given us a 2-3 month start time. So within two weeks we have our beautiful new roof, took a couple days and is perfect. Thanks Doughty Enterprises. read more

Great service, best price of 4 bids I obtained, awesome crew got the moderately size roof (1600 sq ft home) done in one day. Buzz seems like one of those rare breeds, a truly honest businessman who knows his stuff backwards and forwards and is out to help without ripping anyone off. read more

I called around and got 7 bids, read all of the reviews that I could find. Buzz Doughty and his crew did a great job replacing our roof and gutters. They showed up early, worked hard and efficiently in record breaking temps (100 degrees!). They paid attention to details and left the yard in immaculate condition. His price was competitive and I highly recommend him. read more

I met and had bids from four different roofing companies. Doughty Enterprises was recommended to me by someone who said before you decide on who will install your roof, contact Doughty Enterprise. I did and they won my confidence. I spoke with the owner, Buzz, and texted him pictures of my house and told him what I had in mind for my new roof, as I wanted to go with a darker roof. He scheduled an appointment to meet with me and brought with him shingle samples, gutter guards samples and took the time to listen and discuss what I was looking for in a roof, gutters & downspout colors and type of gutter guards. The meeting sealed the deal along with having the best bid which was also the final price. They were able to schedule my roof within two weeks and was completed by mid April 2023. The crew finished the job in two days as promised. Buzz showed up on site each day. The crew promptly stared their day at 8AM. They were all very polite and respectful of my property and they cleaned up each day before they left. I love my new roof and gutters. I went from a lighter roof and gutters to a charcoal roof with black gutters and it looks awesome! I smile when I turn down my street and see my new roof! I am so glad that Doughty Enterprises was referred to me!!! read more

Buzz and crew did an amazing job installing the roof on our house and detached garage in 2013. They were the only contractors we could find to come out to Cloverdale! They were fast and efficient and did a quality job. As a new homeowner, I had a lot to learn and some investments to make, and this one was totally worth it. Fast forward to today, 2019, when we had evidence of two leaks. We were freaking out because it has been raining heavily. Roofers are busy in the rainy season as you can imagine, but Buzz made a special trip on a Sunday to check the problem and ensure no further damage to our home. He repaired the leaks inside and out (which were a maintenance issue having nothing to do with the quality of their work) and assured me that I could call again if there was a problem. Highly recommend. read more

These guys are tops!! Buzz is knowledgeable, accommodating and patient. We postponed and rescheduled several times yet he remained courteous and walked us thru some complex issues. His advice was always good. We have used him twice and will again on other jobs. read more

Doughty was responsive when I made first contact. Came back with a good bid that same day. Did the work between the recent storms in one day plus a couple of hours the next. Very competent crew. Nice guys who did a very good job including the clean up. All phone calls were quickly returned and all my questions answered. It's clear why they have been in business so long. read more

Buzz is an expert that explains all of your options first. He is a general contractor that also has a roofing Co. He gives his experienced opinion on all details regarding repairs or replacement. We chose Doughty enterprises knowing Buzz's integrity & experience made it an easy choice. We are so happy with the final result. read more

Buzz and Bob and John and crew were great to work with. I have a tough driveway and space situation around my house and everyone was accommodating and helpful. Roof looks fabulous! read more

Reviews must be paid for.Had to call twice just to get an appointment for an estimate. After setting it up ,estimator never showed up. Called again. Person who came out was looking unprofessional and and very noisy.Took 2 weeks to get an estimate. After finally getting it,I had a question about new roof so called and left a message ,once again no call back . This company is a joke . read more

Buzz and his staff responded the same day to temporarily repair a roof leak during the recent storms. They were able to schedule and complete the re roof during the MLK weekend at a very competitive price. Their work was first rate including cleanup. read more

Buzz Doughty and his company just completed installing a new roof on our home. We are extremely pleased with the results. They did not rush to get it done in one day like other companies, but took their time over two days to do it right. One small detail was not done to my satisfaction and Buzz personally came back and fixed it himself the next day. Their price was competitive and we are very, very happy with the results. I highly recommend Doughty Enterprises. read more

Doughty Enterprises immediately responded to our somewhat negative previous review and made arrangements with my wife to fix the problems. So thanks to D E for their service and desire to "make things right". We plan on building a new home in Santa Rosa and they will be first on our list for roofing needs. read more

I'd give Buzz and his crew 10 stars if I could! He and his roofing crew were prompt, competent and professional. The workmanship was excellent and the job was performed as unobtrusively as possible. His pricing was fair and he demonstrated the ability to be creative and resourceful where needed. Buzz also demonstrated a high level of integrity, showing us everything he found, and explaining the process every step of the way. He was always willing to take the time to "go the extra mile" to do the job just right. And last, but certainly not least, he and his very respectful crew performed their jobs with great heart! I would not hesitate to have Buzz perform other services we need done, and I have already wholeheartedly recommended him to my friends. read more

I wanted to commend Doughty Enterprises for their wonderful work in putting a new roof on my mother's house in Rohnert Park. We were concerned that with the coming winter rains, we hadn't left ourselves with enough time to get the roof completed. Their estimator Rob Thomas was extremely helpful in assessing some existing roof damage, assisting with the new shingle selection and was able to schedule our job before the winter rains. Buzz made sure the job was done in 3 days and on budget. My mother commented that "Buzz and his excellent crew were on top of the job from the moment they showed up". Thank you for putting my mother's mind at ease heading into this winter and many more. Doughty is my first call for my next roofing job. Thanks again. read more

What can I say, it was a great experience from start to finish. They offered a very competitive bid. They were very thorough. They showed up and they said they were going to. They did the complete tear off and reroof in two days. The owner showed up on site twice and help wrap that job up late into the evening on the second day. He was super nice and helpful. They are meticulous and cleaned up very well after the job. I would definitely recommend them for another job read more

Buzz's price was consistent with other bids and he knew how to deal with a couple tricky areas. Did a super job on our roof. Spotted and replaced rotted areas and kept right on schedule. read more

Buzz replaced my 25 year old roof and did an excellent job. Always on time, neat and clean and communicated every step of the way. My roof looks great and the gutters are wonderful. read more

Very satisfactory work. Prompt, courteous & dependable. Very stress free roof project Buzz is easy to work with & a problem solver. I would hire him again. read more

Doughty Enterprises did a fine job reroofing our house. They had to work with a third-party solar company (Simply Solar, who I love), and was able to tear-down and place a layer of shingles in two-days. They communicated with me when there was dry-rot, and they waited for my responses. The final bill will substantially larger than the original estimate, however, given the extra dry-rot replacement and man-hours needed, it was still less than the original bids of other roofing companies. I'm satisfied and recommend Doughty Enterprises of Santa Rosa. read more

Let me start with just WOW. Admittedly I didn't think to call these guys for my roof until I was referred by a friend that was very hard to please. After I got several other quotes, I went with Buzz because he had the best reviews, was the only certified installer of the roof I wanted, and was about 25% less than the next guy. Watching the work was like watching one of those Facebook videos in fast forward. I didn't think my roof would hold his huge crew and the got it done in ONE day including the gutters and fixing a bunch of extra stuff. I had another contractor there too for another project and he too was blown away at the speed and quality of the job. After a long day, they left my house spotless and did an amazing job. Thank you Buzz for taking about a dozen calls from me with questions, being a man of your word, and a job well done. Anyone thinking about a roof; you are crazy not check these guys out! read more

I recently needed some repairs on my condo. My condo association referred me to a contractor and I received a bid but I deid not feel comfortable with him or his bid. A friend told me about Buzz Doughty and I called him. Boy am I glad I did!. Not only was his price better he was going to do more than the original guy. Buzz explained everything to me and I felt very comfortable. His crew was GREAT, even though they had to traipse in and out of my condo with material they did not make a mess and were very considerate. At the end of the job Buzz came and inspected it himself and mad sure I was happy. I will refer all my friends to him int the future. read more
