Robyn S.

I was looking for waterproofing services for my concrete stairs over a wood frame with stucco guardrails. This house was built in 1937 and is my childhood home. The stairs had been leaking over the years due to the concrete pulling away from the stucco, causing dry rot. The wood was replaced, and the stairs were painted 6 months ago; they had since started chipping. You could see all the layers of paint. Due to prior leaks, dry rot, and peeling paint, I began researching waterproofing systems. It was not easy to find a company that specializes in concrete stairs with stucco guardrails. I couldn't find any photos of what I had. I started looking around and considered painters, decking companies, and waterproofing companies. Most waterproofing companies specialize in roofing only and declined my request. I then came across Elite Roofing & Waterproofing. They had a photo of the concrete stairs they had done. Alonso contacted me immediately, scheduled an appointment, and arrived on time. He reviewed my stairs, suggested an exceptional waterproofing system, and provided a quote the same day. Some systems can take up to 2 weeks to cure, but the Tremco Vulkem Waterproofing system can be installed in a couple of days due to the chemistry. Juan and his son arrived by 8:30 am each day of the job and were meticulous. The preparation includes covering the area with plastic, removing all paint down to the concrete, repairing cracks as needed, filling all large voids, sealing joints, taping the stucco above each step and landing, and applying primer and sand for grip, base coat, and top coat. Each coat with activator cures in 30-45 minutes, so you need to be highly trained at applying this system. It's literal chemistry. The system protects all joints with the sealer, after which the layers bond and extend from the stucco to the stairs, further protecting them from water intrusion. There are nice colors for the top coat as well. The stairs have an awesome grip with the sand for safety. This gives us peace of mind and protects our precious childhood home. If you have a similar situation or need waterproofing services, call Elite Roofing & Waterproofing!

No flat metal flashing installed

I almost never leave bad reviews for local businesses, but Alonso brought this on himself. As a project manager, he was sloppy and lazy; as an all-around human being, he was incredibly dishonest and deceitful. We hired Alonso and his crew to replace our tar-and-gravel roof. We went with them in large part due to the good reviews here. In the beginning, Alonso was responsive and pleasant. His crew arrived to the job site on time. Things seemed to be progressing. We were also getting solar installed at the same time, and this required Alonso to coordinate with the solar people. We shared everyone's numbers. Then, midway through the project, Alonso suddenly told us he needed to charge us an extra few thousand dollars because the solar people were dragging their feet and delaying the job. I called the solar people, who told me they'd been calling Alonso's cell every day and he'd never responded. I went back to Alonso, who denied getting any calls. The solar people, in turn, sent me their call logs, which showed that they in fact had been calling him. When presented with this proof, Alonso sort of mumbled, admitted his error, and withdrew his demand. This was, essentially, his form of low-key extortion, but he was too lazy to pull it off. Then the job was "finished"... or rather, his crew left one Friday and never came back. I went up to have a look, and it was clear the job was, at best, only mostly finished. There were large sections where the flat metal flashing did not get installed, and there were parts of the roof not fully covered by gravel, exposing the tar to the direct sun. Moreover, there were splashes of hot tar that had been spilled all over our decks. I realize tar is messy to work with, but I find it strange that no tarps were laid. I took photos and sent them to Alonso. He promised he would pay for the deck cleanup. He sent a guy to install the flashing. But when that guy arrived, he took one look at the rest of the work and said that the workers hadn't properly sealed the edges around the skylights. I brought this to Alonso's attention in November. It is now January. He has been ignoring all of my calls and all of my texts. Calls to his office go unanswered. He hasn't paid us a dollar to repair our decks. I know he's now just ignoring me, because he knows he's screwed up and he's too dishonest of a person to face the consequences. Avoid this business at all costs.

Fast, solid work, reasonable price, good communication. Team circled back to cover a spot they had missed next day, no hassle. Highly recommend.

I would recommend Alonso and his team over at Elite Roofing ,and Water proofing . Absolutely the best roofers I have ever used. Alonso came over and gave me a free quote that was Extremely reasonable,and fit my budget seeing Farmers insurance didn't provide any help paying for it ,but after the job Elite did on my roof and in only one day, I can't wait for it to rain again. I will sleep like a baby feeling very confident in my brand new roof ,thanks guys . Great job

reframed the roof, added ridge and o'hagin vents, and new shingles and waterproofed the flat areas

Alonso's team did a great job doing my entire houses roof. Besides the usual plywood and shingles they also reframed the sagging old roof beams, patched up a lot of the siding, added a ton of new vents (ridge and o'hagin), and replaced all of the fascia. It all got painted and I think that I got a very fair price. I'd def recommend them to a friend or internet stranger

IB Roofing was the clear best choice of the four bids I received to re-roof my Rockridge house…read more Their pricing was excellent for the quality we wanted, and Israel, the owner, was great to work with: punctual, transparent, patient, responsive, and never pushy. He clearly explained what was necessary versus what was optional, and I never felt upsold. When additional issues came up, including the need to replace roof decking before the shingles could go on, Israel reached out immediately. Even with that added scope, the total cost still ended up roughly in line with the next lowest bid, which had not included decking. He also went above and beyond on a skylight repair by having his crew prime the interior area to make things easier for the next crew. To top it off, when the job was done, Israel walked the roof with me and explained everything that had been completed. All around, this was an ideal contractor experience. I would absolutely recommend IB Roofing.

My neighbor, who is an electrician and electrical contractor (retired), recommended IB Roofing…read more They re-roofed his home not too long ago and he was pleased with the job they did. When I was climbing around on the roof installing Christmas lights I saw its condition and realized it needed replacing. I contacted IBR and German came out quickly to take a look and shared some initial observations, along with some preliminary options. A few days later he sent estimates on each option, clear and straightforward. I opted for the larger job of taking off the existing shingles--even though it was the first layer--and replacing any plywood as needed. I could have just had them put shingles on top of the existing roof but decided to go for the completely new roof, for peace of mind. I also added a skylight to the job, and German answered all my questions about the product details and costs. German and Israel responded quickly to questions, and communication throughout the job was great. The crew started on a Monday morning at 8am and finished by late afternoon on Tuesday. They even worked around my Christmas lights that were still in place! Overall I was super pleased with their work and the finished results. Fyi, payment is a $1000 deposit, half of the the amount upon starting and the rest on completion. City permit fees are extra.

Getting two new commercial roofs was a big deal for my partnership and there are lots of details…read morewhich concerned us. We went with Equinox and I am so happy we did-the price was excellent, the job was done really well, we had two commercial tenants which required specific scheduling and they were well accommodated for, and both roofs look great and, since its been a few months with rain, we know they are both sturdy. I could not be more satisfied and we have a couple of projects coming up in the next year and will definitely use them. We now have a roofer for any needs. My highest recommendations for Ben and Equinox!

We recently had our entire roof replaced by Equinox Roofing and had a really positive experience…read morefrom start to finish. Dave was our project manager and he was great to work with. He explained the process clearly, answered all of our questions, and kept us updated throughout the project. The crew was always on time, very professional, and respectful of our property. They worked efficiently and what stood out to us was how clean they kept the area around the house during the project. At the end of each day they made sure everything was picked up, which we really appreciated. The project moved along smoothly and the roof replacement was completed within the timeframe we were given. The finished result looks great and we're very happy with the quality of the work. For a full roof replacement, the pricing felt fair for the quality and service we received. Overall, it was a solid experience and we're glad we chose Equinox Roofing for the project. Adding here pictures Dave were sending to us throughout the whole process.

Scammers! These guys told me there were 2 options for fixing…read morea small roof leak - an expensive permanent fix or a temporary fix for a bit cheaper. I was told that the temporary fix would definitely get me through this season but not the next and the permanent fix would last until I get a new roof. I was considering getting a new roof, which they knew about, and provided a quote for, so I paid for the temporary fix only. The very next day it rains and it's clear the "fix" didn't work. I ask them to return and actually fix the leak this time so they come back and haphazardly throw some more tar on the roof. It doesn't rain for another 2 weeks but the moment it starts raining, the leak shows up again. This time when I ask them to come back, I'm told I need to sign a contract with them to replace the entire roof and that there are no refunds for the faux leak repair. CROOKS! Don't waste your money. Pay someone who knows what they're doing. Not this inexperienced father and son duo who will cheat you out of your money. Edit to address business response: I am thoroughly disappointed that you claim to state facts in your response. I was told specifically that the temporary fix would "100% resolve the leak". I was told the cause of leak was evident and the temporary fix would prevent leakage for the rest of this rainy season. I was given two options for repair - neither of which involved a full roof replacement. I was told the more expensive "repair" would last until I decided to replace my roof. I chose the less expensive option since I did intend on replacing the roof at some point. When your claims about the repair turned out to be false, you came a second time and explained why the temporary fix was inadequate. You then explained how the remediation performed that day would "absolutely fix the problem". This has nothing to do with the structural integrity of my roof or its age. There was no indication that the roof needed to be replaced immediately. The home water heater was recently updated and replaced. The area around its exhaust vent was likely damaged during replacement causing the leak immediately above the water heater. If you provided facts at the time of repair I would not be upset about your work and tactics. I was told the leak would be stopped with your repair. Period. It was not. I guess you get what you pay for. What made this worse was that you then tried to make me sign a contract for a FULL roof replacement locking me into your low quality services. Why on earth would I allow you to do anymore work on my roof when you lied to my face about the leak and your workman quality is clearly subpar? You also offer no kind of guarantee on your work so the risk is too high.

I requested a quote for flat roof replacement after discovering a leak and someone came out on the…read moresame day! For our job, I got 3 quotes. The first one was from a bigger company with lots of reviews and the other one was a smaller company like Astro. The smaller company basically gave me the same quote as Astro. The bigger company quoted me at 3X higher. I feel confident that Astro would have done a great job for us as well.
