I am still working for the same company and we are still using Excelsior Roofing for our properties. Mark and Eduardo are awesome. Always accommodating, kind and helpful, even when things get crazy during the rainy season, and they always do a stellar job. I would highly recommend this roofing company! read more

We evaluated 3 roofing companies to help with a skylight leak and roof maintenance and Excelsior was honest, quick to respond, professional, and very easy to work with. Above and beyond all expectations. Excelsior was great! read more

Excellent service, very professional. Fairly priced for value. Communicated well, set expectations clearly, accommodated access challenges, cleaned rigorously after service. Highly recommend. read more

Don't waste time on other roofers. Excelsior are the top roofers. They are fast to respond, professional, tidy and the best price. read more

These guys went above and beyond my expectations! They did a refresh 11 years ago and it lasted much longer than projected by the owner, Mark. This time they replaced the problem areas and redid the roof. They created a solution to prevent the problems from reoccurring, so this roof that was only a 20-year roof will now last 40 years! I recommend Powers Roofing whole-heartedly! I'm so glad I chose this highly professional, punctual and effective Roofer! read more

I had 2 roofers bid an patch and maintenance job, and stupidly, I hired the higher bidder by mistake. That roofer was Excelsior. I apologized profusely for my mistake when they showed up (on time), showed them the other company's contract and said - it's totally ok to walk away, my mistake. BUT, they agreed to do a bigger job for the same money, and did so without so much as one negative comment. I was embarrassed but grateful. The job they did was superb. Great workmanship, everything neat and tidy with obvious pride in their work. They get an A in my book. They are honest, forthright, cleaned up the job beautifully and did more than they originally were contracted to do. I would totally hire them again, even if they weren't the low bid. read more

Eduardo and the crew who repaired my roof were the best people I have ever had working at my house for any reason. They did a great job and were very careful about my property. They even came back yesterday to look at one small thing with which I was concerned. I have never had more meticulous workers. Thank you so much for this job. I will highly recommend Excelsior" and specifically Eduardo. 5 STARS for Excelsior Roofing James M read more

I cannot say enough about Excelsior roofing. Eduardo came out to do an assessment of a leak we have in our home and to see where it was coming from. Eduardo was polite, professional, efficient, and transparent. He assessed our situation and let us know there was nothing that showed any areas of need for repair or any sources of the leak. He did a very thorough and detailed assessment of our roof and siding of our house going up to look at everything multiple times before he left. He confirmed our roof looked good as did previous work by a different company we used. This honesty and transparency is so appreciated and you can tell he genuinely just wanted to help us. He even told me a few things to do to try and see where the solution may be including a water test which he said his company did not do but offered a way we could get it done. He did not plug any third party vendors just recommended a method we could have a team were already using for gardening services who likely could do it. If I could give them an 11/10 review I would. In my humble opinion I feel it can be difficult to know if you are getting the whole picture whether it be for cars, house issues, etc when you ask a company to do an assessment especially in an area where I am not an expert (which I am definitely not in roofing). I felt wholeheartedly that Eduardo gave us the whole picture and was as genuine as you could get just wanting to help us figure out the problem. Oh and the assessment was free! Thank you to your team & thank you Eduardo! read more

Hands down! Excelsior Roofing is a solid, professional, trustworthy company for roofing needs. I used them 11 years ago for the back half of my roof, and now for the over 40 year old front shingled roof of our home. My experience with them has been consistent over time. Their process of estimating, scheduling, and completing the work was seamless. Their clean-up was unexpectedly thorough. The finished product is beautiful!! I highly recommend Excelsior Roofing Company. read more

We just had Eduardo come by for a roof inspection. He was courteous, punctual, and gave us the good news we had several more years of life to our roof. I was happy to pay him for his time and inspection, but he politely refused (unless it was a formal inspection for insurance purposes). We were thankful for his time and expertise and will certainly have him and his crew replace our roof when the time eventually comes. read more

We had several roofing companies come out and bid our project. Excelsior was on the higher end of the bids and they were very busy and couldn't start immediately. But there was something about their professionalism that struck us. They listened to, and addressed all of our requests, laid out the details of the project and replied in a timely manner. They arrived at our house on time, and attacked the roof with what seemed like an army. The were incredibly polite and respectful during the project and worked super clean. They finished on time in two days and left our house as clean as when they arrived. We highly recommend Excelsior Shout out to Eduardo who handled all the details and called on us and Rogelio who was on site on the project. read more

Excelsior Roofing - Roofing Near Me - San Francisco, California

What a poorly ran company full of delinquents. They cut me off on the freeway right before an exit, side swiped my truck, broke off my driver side mirror, and then sped off laughing. If this is the kind of people they hire to work, then I wouldn't trust them within 50ft of my home. read more

Had them out for a leak and they were willing to say that the roof is not the likely cause of the problem. A different roofer said the roof needs to be completely replaced. read more

I was referred to Excelsior Roofing by a friend of mine that is a contractor and has worked with them in the past. He said they were a great company to work with. He was right! I have a flat roof which needed to be replaced. As they opened up the roof they found a good bit of unexpected wood rot needing repair. Mark, Eduardo, Roberto, and the entire team were very professional and as another review mentioned they take great pride in doing a great job. It's nice to still see people that take pride in what they do. I have already recommended them to several of my neighbors. If you're looking for a roofing company look no further! read more

I didn't need emergency roof work but my roof was 22 years old & I didn't want to wait for it to get older & leak. I did a lot of research regarding the different roof materials (i.e. modified bitumen, TPO, foam, etc.). & watched a lot of TikToc & YouTube videos on roofing & the difference in the materials. I received bids from all the usual suspects (Tom Lee, Advantage, Lawson, Mr. Roofer, Anderson Roofing, Sure Roofing, Redwood roofing), & Mark Powers; the owner of Excelsior was the most knowledgeable to me & Mark was a no BS kind of guy. I also had to replace 3 custom skylights & did research on manufacturers in the Bay Area & talked to Eduardo; who works with Mark, about the pro & cons of trying to replace my kitchen light skylight with one that opens again. One roofer was giving me a 100% markup on the skylights from the same manufacturer, & his cost for a modified bitumen roof were extremely marked up, so he was eliminated. After putting together an Excel spreadsheet with all the fixed and variable cost from each bid I researched the recommended approach & materials each roofer was recommending. At the end it came down to 2 roofers. I chose Excelsior because Mark knows his stuff, my last roof was tar & gravel & still had a couple of years of life in it & Excelsior still does tar & gravel. The workers completed my roof in 2 days & it was quite the production. My neighbors were quite impressed with the process. Until it rains & a few years pass I really won't know how my roof stands up but it looks great today. My brother who is an electrician & works in construction went up to look at the completed job & said it was good work. He told me, "These guys don't mess around, they know their stuff & do good work." That's another thing, Excelsior's crew are all union workers with 15+ years in the union. When it comes to your roof don't look for the best price look for the most experienced & knowledgeable roofer. That's why I selected Excelsior read more

Excelsior was very efficient and professional from start to finish. I definitely will use them again. We had maintenance work done on our 9 yr old roof. They left my property clean before leaving too. read more

Last year during home remodel and the raining season, we identified a leak in our roof. We have an old fashioned gravel and tar roof and when started our search, we wanted a company that has experience in doing this type of roof. After doing some research we decided to go with Excelsior because based on the reviews and pictures posted, they had a lot of experience working on such roof and flat roofs and a lot of good reviews. Repair jobs usually don't have warranties but they said in case it leaks again in the same area in the upcoming raining season, they'd come back to do a free inspection. So there is some sort of guarantee on the job. We thus feel comfortable and confident about choosing them to do the job. After setting up an appointment for a quote, Eduardo showed up on time. After inspecting the leak area, he actually proposed a solution that he's quite confident about in solving our issue without spending a lot, comparing to the other quotes I got from other roofers. We decided to go with them given their extensive experience in working on such roofs. Mark was very easy to work with to get a job date scheduled. He's very responsive via emails. On the job day, the team showed up on time. The foreman Angel was very professional, courteous and very communicative. He talked to me about the job scope before they began and kept me posted throughout the whole process. The job itself didn't take long. When I went up to inspect the work, they showed me a couple more holes they found and sealed. Extra bonus! What impressed me the most was the honesty of these guys. Without me bringing it up, they unanimously proposed a solution, or an additional procedure they think should be added to the work "to be more safe" for getting rid of the leak, which was also suggested by other roofers when we were getting quotes. After bringing this to Mark's attention, he's very responsive too. I hope the work we did this month would thoroughly fix the leak problem. But in case we need to do that additional procedure later this year in case the leak comes back, Mark agreed to come out here and help us again. At least for now, with a back-up plan in mind, we can rest assured that we're taken care of. Kudos to you and the team!! Highly recommend! read more

I just had the best experience with Excelsior Roofing. I reach out to them and got a response from Mark within an hour. I had an appointment with Eduardo Franco the next day. Eduardo showed on time and prepared. Pleasant, informative and, frankly, impressive meeting. I have a leak. Trying to buy a few years on the roof. Want sky lights. He educated me on the steps and pointed me to person to install the sky lights first. Gave me an estimate for the patch/skylight . Gave me a reasonable quote for a new roof. Based on this interaction, no need to shop around. I'll get my acted together for the skylights and have no hesitation in schedule the roof work with Excelsior. Thanks Eduardo and Mark! read more

Very professional , free estimate is key and after I gave them the ok the job was done ! Very happy with the work. And they clean up after themselves. When the rains came there was a leak in the rear bedroom. I called them to let them know, They brought over a nice worker , but after he patched same problem. I had to hire a different company and they redid the small roof in the rear and no more leaks. So no more calling excelsior roofing for my roof. From 5 stars to 1 star. read more

Thought we had already submitted a review for Excelsior, but hadn't. A couple of years ago they installed two skylights and one copper & glass atrium cover. Great job. No water or air leaks and they look nice. Used to have louvered windows in these which were a royal pain, but the new skylights open without any junky/dirty louvers. A few months ago they ripped out our old roof down to the deck and replaced it. Copper was used instead of galvanized metal. The team did a wonderful job. No leaks & looks gorgeous. Excelsior is professional, reliable, knowledgeable and thorough. Eduardo Franco was our very capable estimator and manager of the crew. Mark Powers was the pro arranging/scheduling from the office end. Flawless start to finish. Excelsior is our go-to roofing company. This first-class operation receives our highest recommendation and respect. read more

Our roof was not draining water. Eduardo came out and was amazing at troubleshooting. He found the problem which was a hidden drain that could not be seen was stuck. He even found it for us. And converted a very complex problem into an instant since at 1/100th the cost. His honesty and problem solving was amazing. read more

I had my tile roof done about 2 months ago. Mark, the owner, did the inspection, and gave me a decent estimate. He was also the only one out of three roof contractors that gave me options as far as what I can do to fix my roofing problems. BTW, I also contacted Tom Lee Roofing, and they gave me a decent estimate, but they did not come close to Excelsior as far as services promised. The following list is the reason why I chose Excelsior: 1) Unionized workers 2) Clean tear-down (the cleanest contractor I've ever had) 3) Quick work (2 days and the roof was done) 4) Matched existing tiles w/ new tiles 5) Permit work 6) Added additional trimming like painted cement to match the tiles, and copper sidings to accentuate roof line. The only reason I gave Excelsior a 4-star rating instead of 5 is because they were also the most expensive. They came in $500 over Tom Lee's. Regardless, I'd use Excelsior again for all my roofing needs. read more

These guys are simply the best!!!! They replaced the roof on our Victorian Condo in 2 days even though they had to work around rainy weather. At one point there were 12 guys and 4 trucks working our job. The neighbors even remarked how polite and considerate their crew was. Cleanup was immaculate. Communication with Mark and Richard (the foreman) was great via email and phone. read more

DO NOT hire this company. Unethical. They redid our gutters and left the roof drain covered with material causing our roof to flood and taking down part of our ceiling. When we called them they came out and said our roof was bad, they didn't use that type of material (how'd it get up there as one piece and covering the drain then??), etc etc. Quoted us a new roof and refused responsibility. NOTHING is wrong with our roof as indicated by several other companies that have been out, AND the lack of leaking once we opened up the roof drain by cutting out the material that they left there. We were left to deal with the ruin caused by the combination of their shoddy work and unethical business practices. Save yourself from this hell and DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY. read more

Mark's quote covered everything we discussed in detail, while others wrote a dollar amount on a cocktail napkin and assumed that was fine. I love that their roofers earn a union wage, that Excelsior has been in business for over 100 years, and that their Yelp rating is close to perfect. They just finished re-roofing my home. Very professional, high quality from start to finish. I RECOMMEND THEM! read more

We explored several top roofing companies in San Francisco as we had a complex roof project (tearing off 6 layers of old shingles of our 1895 house etc) and installing a new roof and I couldn't be more impressed with not only working with Mark and his patience coordinating with our HOA -and the on site professionalism of the roofers once the project began. Cannot recommend them enough for their thorough and fair initial estimate and then quickly getting us scheduled and completed the job quickly and efficiently while doing an excellent job. They made a complex project easy for us and did a great job cleaning up afterwards. Highly recommend!! read more

Another extremely positive experience with Excelsior Roofing. Some months ago I asked them to check my roof out prior to getting my house painted. At that moment, they told me things looked fine, but to call if anything arose. I noticed some staining a couple of weeks ago on my kitchen ceiling and asked them to come back and check it out. They said a crack had opened up, which they repaired very promptly with a temporary patch during a rainstorm (!!!), and then they came back today to finish repairing it and to reseal the edges of the rest of the roof at my request. Mark Powers, the owner, Eduardo, the estimator, and Roberto, one of the roofers, were all unfailingly cordial. I could not be happier with this roofing company. They are the most honest people you could ever meet. It really gives me peace of mind to know they are there to help. read more

I waited too long to get my roof looked at, and by the time I started calling roofers, everyone was booked solid for months. Excelsior Roofing was no exception in that they were booked for a couple of months, but I was just looking for maintenance, so it was cool. Well, fast forward a couple of weeks when there was a rain storm and the roof started leaking. I emailed Mark (the owner, I think), and he promptly responded, and got his crew to come out in a couple of days. It was really awesome of them to clear up their schedule to help out with an urgent issue. The crew was super nice, communicative, and efficient. I would highly recommend Excelsior Roofing! read more

If you need roofing work done I highly recommend Excelsior Roofing. Mr. Bill Powers who came for the estimate really knows his roofs, can observe the problems quickly and recommend the repairs. Did 2 roofs for us, the crew was very efficient and they were all so courteous. One of the leads named Angel took the time to describe the work done for the repair roof. The supervisor Raul came by to ensure things were being done as planned. Since it was done during the rainy period the job had to be postponed several times, Mark the owner would be sure the weather was dry before work started, he was so patient I never felt rushed. The finished roof looks beautiful and very neatly done! Well it rained last week and for the very first time I didn't need buckets in the living room to catch leaks! Thank you Excelsior Roofing great job and wonderful crew! read more

Our roof had reached the end of life and I started the long haul of trying to find a roofing company. I got a number of quotes given the magnitude and importance of the investment. Excelsior got the job because, while not cheap, they weren't insanely expensive either - they are one of the oldest and most trusted shops in SF, and Mark was so responsive before, during, and after the project. The whole team - Eduardo, Roberto...everyone was professional and they take a lot of pride in their work. We are now about a month after the roof was redone and they have stayed available to us for any follow-up needed. I highly recommend this company for any roofing or gutter related needs! read more

Five+ stars for great initial customer service and being straight shooters. Star #1 - They responded quickly (only one that did). Start #2 - Came out same week. Star #3 - Arrived on time. Star #4 - Checked out the roof. Star #5 - Told me the roof was older, but in good shape, so nothing to do. Extra bonus star - no charge. read more

I recently had Excelsior Roofing replace my roof. Eduardo came out to inspect my roof, give his recommendations, and provide estimates for the work. He was very professional and gave us multiple options for the replacement of our skylights. Throughout the process, Eduardo was easily accessible by phone and provided immediate answers to my questions. On the day of the work, the Excelsior Roofing team arrived on time. They sent the entire crew to work on my roof and they finished replacing my roof in a day instead of two days as originally planned. The team worked really efficiently and cleaned up all areas afterwards. Our large skylight had to be custom built. That installation happened a week later. Overall, we had a great experience working with everyone at Excelsior Roofing. read more

Asked for a free inspection and their technician showed up on time and ready. I had no particular reason to worry about the roof, but I hadn't had it inspected before at this property, so I thought why not? I was relieved to learn that my roof was already in great shape, and there's not any reason to get any work done! I really appreciate that Excelsior Roofing gave it to me straight. Thanks again! read more

Upon contacting them they responded quickly and have given us sound and honest advice about the leaks of our roof and windows. As a result, they were repaired to our satisfaction. I'd recommend their service to anyone. read more

Thank you Mark for excellent customer service and job well done. Our skylight started leaking during heavy rains this year. We were in the hurry to fix the problem. Excélsior Roofing inspected the roof, gave us honest estimate and competitive price. They fixed our problems quickly. The crew was knowledgeable, timely. We highly recommend this company. read more

I had my roof replaced by Excelsior even though the initial assessment says the roof will still be okay for two years. But I decided to just go ahead with the replacement because I didn't want to wait for the roof to start leaking. From initial assessment to contract signing up to the actual work on the roof, this company really made the whole process pain free. The whole crew and the site supervisor, Eduardo were so effecient and very professional. I appreciate that the entire crew observed the health protocol! I am really happy with the result! I don't expect any leak but then again it has not rained yet after the work was done, but I am not worried, they guarantee their work! Besides, their President, Mark is really approachable and very helpful. I highly recommend this company. read more

Excelsior Roofing is an OUTSTANDING company. I had a roof leak and I called several companies to inspect and recommend a fix. Excelsior roofing was the ONLY company that responded quickly and inspected the roof and provided a solution. They completed the work quickly and did a professional job. I would definitely hire them again! read more

I have been a customer of Excelsior Roofing for 11 years. From putting a new roof in to doing maintenance Mark and the team have been stellar. Excellent quality of work, great to deal with, prompt. Excelsior also has amazing customer service - if you are a customer they will come out and do inspection and minor service for free and only charge if work needs to be done. Unmatched. read more

We hired Excelsior Roofing to replace our skylight, as well as to do some general roofing maintenance. Everything went very smoothly -- they did exactly what they said they were going to do, and for the price they said it would be. The owner replied promptly to all my questions throughout the process. And the crew that did the work was great as well. read more

Excelsior Roofing went well above and beyond what was expected for a roofing company. We were lucky to book them ahead of last winter's rains and we were really glad we did. Out of the 5 bids I got they were right in the middle, but their quote was reasonable given the complexities of our roof (multiple pitched and flat sections). When our original install date got moved up, we happened to be out of town but this wasn't a problem for their crew. By the time we got back they had finished most of the roof and only needed another day and a half on the job. Mark was great in explaining exactly what they had done while we were gone (and even pointed out areas of dryrot that they went ahead and fixed on their own). They also replaced all of our downspouts for much less than I would have estimated, and even added additional drainage to divert excess water. Our roof, gutters, and downspouts worked perfectly during heavy rains and I have no doubt will last a very long time. read more
