20 + years ago John Wescott, owner of East County Roofing, did re-roofed 2 houses for me. One was my own home, another a rental. Excellent work, competitive pricing. Fast forward to today. I have a rental that had rooms added on twice. A pitched roof house and two flat roofs. Total nightmare. Rotten eves, termite beams, facias rotted and termites. A renter that is fussy and vocal. John, his right hand man and talented crew just handled it. Top quality craftsmanship, guys that care they do good work and reasonable ultimate price. I so lucky I trusted him again. Not the lowest price, but not the highest, but definitely top quality work on a most trying project. Enough said. read more

Professional all the way! They were thorough, timely and made sure all permits were in place, inspections were completed and approved. I would highly recommend East County Roofing! read more

We had John from East County Roofing put on our new roof in Nov 2023. We have had him come out and check it for us after a couple heavy rains and all has been good. We have referred him to other people and all of them have been very happy with his staff and their work. We would highly recommend him if you need a new roof. His pricing was very fair and now we have a 50 year warranty on our roof!!! Pete & Sharon P. read more

John and his crew were amazing can't say enough. On time no BS, definitely recommend!

John and his team fixed our roof last year when we had a leak. He ended up having to fix a bigger section than seemed necessary. But we trusted his opinion on the matter. He seemed to do the job well at a relatively reasonable price. But less than a year later, we had our first hard rain and started to see some dripping inside around the area he had worked. The contract on the work said that it was guaranteed for a year. So, when I contacted him about it he came out to take a look. After having a quick inspection, but not really determining the source of the leak, he said he had to get some more roof tiles, or something, and then he would be back to get up there for a more thorough look. He blamed it on his team not being reliable when he trusts them to do a good job:( But since that meeting he has been M.I.A. I've called and emailed several times to get an update. But he never picks up or returns our calls/messages. I liked John while he was doing the work and I'd be happy to update this review if he would just make things right regarding the work that he guaranteed. read more

East County Roofing re-roofed our big commercial building in El Cajon. After the work was completed (for the next few years), we have had a number of leaks. Initially, John came out and tried to resolve the continued leaking problems. However, he seems to have given up. The building continues to leak, and although the work is under warranty, East County Roofing will not return calls to the building owner or management company, despite repeated attempts to reach them. Due to the extensive leaking, we are going to have to re-roof the entire building. I would not recommend this company. After initial attempts, the follow up was terrible. Don't count on your warranty! It's worthless! read more

WOW!! Thank you John and crew for coming to the rescue again. After the high winds ripped off several shingles, leaving the wood exposed, I called and they were out right away to patch it up for me. Always courteous. Very much appreciated! Thank you! read more

John and his team went above and beyond in so many ways. I had full confidence that whatever happened along the way, John would take care of it, and he did. My new roof looks great and the workmanship was excellent. Highly recommended. John even got on the roof himself to help out read more

Truth be told, I initially chose John and East County Roofing because he was my neighbor. However, after seeing him and the crew in action I'm recommending them because I think they might just be the best darn roofing company in all of San Diego county! John's crew of Hunter, Devin and Supervisor Rick were an absolute pleasure to work with. They were courteous, prepared, knowledgeable, skilled and did a fantastic job re-roofing our entire house! They were on time, on budget, their craftsmanship was excellent and they continuously went above and beyond to accommodate our needs in so many ways. Simply put, we could not be happier with our new roof or our new roof experience. We got a beautiful new roof at a very reasonable price and much more than we ever expected. Thank you John and our new friends Rick, Hunter and Devin! read more

Fair price and excellent workmanship!! I will recommend East County Roofing for sure!! Drove a good distance, which most places wouldn't!

John and his team did a wonderful job on my garage roof. John is friendly fair professional knowledgeable and efficient

I'm extremely happy with John and his crew. Two years ago I received 7 bids to have my home, including the flat roof patio stripped, the rotted wood replaced, and a new roof installed. Without knowing the bids his price was the best. Started on a Sunday & finished by Wednesday. No delays or excuses that he couldn't be there for a day. Get on site, keep it going, & get it done. I couldn't be more pleased with the results!! I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing a roof. Professional, down to earth, no BS. Thanks for the great job. Tom M. (Santee) read more

John is as solid as they come. He's knowledgeable, responsive, realistic, shoots straight, and always seems to find time in his schedule to make things happen. As a real estate broker, I am constantly searching for the best in each industry as I am in constant need of inspections and repairs on clients homes. John is my go-to. I could not recommend him highly enough. read more

First off, I would like to thank John Wescott (619) 654-1305 and his crew for all their hard work during the process of a complete tear off and replacement of my roof last week (right in time before the boogieman "El Nino" arrives). Everyone did an outstanding job, were attentive and I could not be more thrilled with the results of all their efforts. I am happy to highly recommend them to anyone who is searching for an honest roofing contractor who knows the business of roofing and takes pride in their work. In addition to the GAF Timberline Ultra HD composite shingles (Birchwood), I had two GAF low profile vents and a GAF dual-powered solar attic fan installed for ventilation which should help my A/C not work so hard and provide a totally different experience this coming summer of 2016. Like Alexia B., I bid out my roof to more than several different roofing contractors and "East County Roofing" had the best price by a couple thousand of dollars. It was such a pleasure to have them working on my roof I was sorry to see them go! Can't say that about too many men with power-tools...hahaha! Seriously, if anyone has any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me as a reference for their services. read more

I can't say enough about John Wescott of East County Roofing. My home is large, two story, custom design, diverse dimensions roofing. A very difficult one to work on. John came, carefully measured and appraised the cost of a total new roof, the old one was thirty years old, gave me a very reasonable estimate, and kept to that estimate when finished. Even though he added miscellaneous items needed as he went along. He worked in the heat of East County, including Saturday and Sunday (concerned because it might rain some, and it did Sunday) and passed inspection satisfactorily. In my home, when he had finished, he received three customer call requesting service. He is a hard worker, hands on, honest, very personable, and does a professional job, always arriving with crew on time. And I can recommend him without reservations. Five stars guy.

John the owner did a great job installing 90' of painted facia board, along with drip edge. He offered to cut some rotted beams, not in bid, which was greatly appreciated, and improved home appearance. As owner, he was on site working along with Thomas, 90% of the time. I highly recommend this roofer! read more

John and the guys are super knowledgable and fair pricing. I needed a job fixed that someone else did poorly and they answered the call and did excellent work. Quickly. They also did a co-workers roof after I referred them and now the only complaint I hear from people is that the voicemail is full! Thats how it goes when you do good work though, you get busy... especially when its raining! Thank you guys for a job well done. read more

We received the lowest quote and a very high quality roof by East County Roofing in March. The owner, John Wescott, was on the site working along side his workmen throughout the process to ensure it was completed as we wanted it. He and his workmen were all very attentive and polite. We opted for the GAF Timberline Extra Thick Ultra High Definition Shingles which come with a lifetime warranty by GAF. They look great on the house and now we can forget about the roof in our retirement. We highly recommend you give John a call and get a quote. John is a licensed roofing contractor and provided us with a start date and finish date (four days total) in writing on the contract. They were on time to work on our roof every day starting at 7am and finished on time, four days later. Furthermore, John made sure every aspect of what we wanted was completed before he accepted the final payment. His number is (619) 654-1305. Jeff and Eileen in San Diego. read more

We went with East County Roofing for our 2nd home and have absolutely no regrets!!! Through the entire process owner John and his crew have kept us informed as to what is going on and what we can expect.Customer service is on point and we couldn't be happier with our new beautiful white roof that will help repel all the heat! AND TO TOP IT OFF THEY CAME IN ABOUT $2,000 LOWER ON OUR BID than all the other companies we checked with yet delivered a high quality roof and amazing customer service! I was pleasantly suprised that they had a crew member clean up daily at the end of each shift making sure there was no trash or loose nails outside. Bonus points, we dealt with 2 days of down pours during the construction process. Owner was here 2x a day checking on everything to ensure there were no leaks! They did a fantastic job ensuring nothing would get through those tarps during the storm. Thank you so much Jon & CREW!!! YOU GUYS ROCK! read more

I can highly recommend John Wescott from East County Roofing. I called him yesterday and he was able to come over today (a Saturday on a Holiday weekend) to look at a leak in my roof. He was courteous, prompt, and efficient. He went up on the roof, diagnosed the problem and fixed it on the spot. I had been trying for months to get a roofer over and they all thought the job was too small. John was referred to me by my sprinkler repair/tree trimmer and I couldn't be happier! read more

John with East County Roofing was our third estimate for upgrades to our concrete tile roof to accommodate solar panels. John's estimate was lower than the others and his recommendations were very logical, made good common sense. He was straight forward and honest, saving us several thousand dollars in unnecessary tile replacement by applying the old rule of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!". His team completely removed all original concrete roof tiles, including several damaged tiles, replaced the underlay with a newer updated and heavier underlay and then was able to find replacement tiles that closely matched the ones that needed replacing. He also included 2 solar vent turbines with his work and we were very pleased with the outcome! We did have some minor "bumps" and issues with labor during the process but nobody's perfect, when John was made aware of any issues, he promptly took care of them and we would definitely call on East County Roofing for any future roofing issues or repairs! We came to like and appreciate John's honesty and overall judge him as a "good person"! read more

East County roofing did a good job once John got involved with it. They were supposed to show up on Monday but they had to finish up some jobs and would be Wednesday before they could start. Understandable. Wednesday one employee came out and started to tear off the flashing so the re-roof could start the next day. He left at noon and his tools were still on the roof. He came back at 3:00 picked up the tools and left with no word to me. I called John Wescott and he said that he would have 2 roofers out Thursday. The 2 roofers showed up about 8:00 and only worked until noon because one of them had a dentist appointment. They came out in one truck so the other couldn't stay and work the rest of the day. After I called John again he and 3 of his people came out on Friday and finished the roof. It rained that weekend and John came out on Sunday and patched a small leak we had and it has been fine ever since. The roof doesn't leak, it looks good, and the price was reasonable. I would recommend them because of the quality of the materials used, but have reservations about some of his employees. Once they finally started in earnest they did a good job. read more

I called this company during a rain storm on a Saturday. I fully expected to get a voicemail like all of the other roofers that I had called prior concerning my actively leaking roof. Not just a little leak either, you know, the kind that floods your whole living room carpet and drywall (Fun Stuff). To my surprise John answered and actually came out later that day to take a look at my roof. He didn't have all of the stuff necessary to fix my roof that day,which I didn't expect him to, but said that he would definitely be able to do it within the next few days. Every other roofer was giving me the 2-3 weeks speech, so I though a few days was pretty darn good. He contacted me shortly after he left and said that if I was willing he would come back Sunday morning(the following day) to make the necessary repairs. Totally unexpected, but very much appreciated. I would happily recommend them to anyone who needs a good roofer. On a side note, they didn't gouge me on pricing either, even though the repair was completed on a Sunday. Thanks guys! read more
