Gino and the team at Fabulous Roofing are absolute pros!…read more Gino and his team replaced our roof in 2022, after a brutal winter, we reached out to Gino for a roof inspection to check for any leaks or storm damage. He sent his crew over right away to do a full assessment. We were thrilled to get a clean bill of health on our roof, but even more impressed by their responsiveness--and they did the whole inspection free of charge! If you're a homeowner in the NYC area looking for a trustworthy roofing contractor, Gino is the one to call. Whether it's a roof replacement or a quick roof repair, they are the best in the business!

By the time we reached out to Gino we were desperate and wary of contractors. Gino couldn't have been more different from all the roofers we encountered. He was trustworthy, direct, fair, described in detail how he would address the job and didn't put any pressure on us to go with him. He uses very good materials and has a great crew that he directly supervises. He was on-site every day and provided us with consistent updates throughout the job, even texting pictures/videos for us to sent to the rest of our building's dwellers. He also checked in after the work was done to make sure his work was holding up. 5/5 stars!! I emphatically recommend him! I honestly wish he did more than roofing, we would trust him with anything!

The team that showed up was courteous and professional, they informed us when the work was going to be noisy and made sure we knew about everything -- they also got the materials lifted up rather early and did it from some machine so we didn't have to deal with materials through the house! The roof is fantastic and it drains properly since we paid extra for some tapered insulation, I appreciate Waras showed us the design and was transparent of the cost.... We saw how expensive the material was and the teams charge was fair. I look forward to working with them again on future projects.

At last I called Verrazano Roofing and Mr. Larry came to give me an estimate. He saw what was wrong. It was during winter of 2020 but it was mild and he told me it could be done. He came with a large crew of employees who were respectful and did the work in a very neat way. Even the hatch was fixed without my asking. They brought two pieces of wood, raised the hatch, put roof material around it and even installed the two locks I had there before. Not that the hatch is more important than the roof but it is important too. They also sealed around the two new skylights which he did not install because I did not know Mr. Larry and his crew were so good at what they do, or I would have bought them from him. The roof was guaranteed for ten years against natural leaks. I think and hope the roof will outlive me. I wish I had money to call Mr. Larry again for other work unrelated to the new, beautiful, kosher roof. Highly recommended.

## **Detailed Review of Royal Renovators (Experience from ~2023) **…read more My experience with Royal Renovators in 2023 was extremely disappointing, unprofessional, and ultimately costly. I normally don't leave reviews, but the level of incompetence and deception I encountered deserves to be shared so others can avoid the same situation. ### **1. Repeated Misdiagnoses and Unnecessary Charges** We originally contacted Royal Renovators because our roof was leaking. They came out twice and still couldn't identify the source of the problem. Each visit came with new explanations and new charges, none of which made sense in hindsight. Eventually, they claimed they had finally found the issue and charged us approximately **$4,800** for the repair. We trusted their assessment and paid, hoping the leak would finally be resolved. ### **2. Leak Still Present -- and More Confusion** The next time it rained, the leak was still there. Same spot, same issue. When we called them back, they used a drone to inspect the roof but still couldn't figure out what was wrong. Their uncertainty was alarming. We ended up using **our own drone**, and we were the ones who actually located the problem area. When we pointed it out to them, they insisted the leak was coming from the chimney area -- which was completely incorrect. At that point, it was obvious they were guessing, not diagnosing. ### **3. The Skylight Disaster** While they were assessing the roof leak, we made the mistake of agreeing to have a skylight installed at the same time. That turned out to be another huge error. The skylight they installed looks like a **DIY project**, not professional work. It has a **constant draft**, and when the weather gets cold, the draft is unbearable. It's clear they had no idea what they were doing, and the workmanship reflects that. Instead of adding value to our home, the skylight became another problem we had to live with. ### **4. Lack of Professionalism and Skill** Between the misdiagnosed leak, the sloppy skylight installation, and the inconsistent explanations, it became clear that the workers and foremen lacked the knowledge and professionalism expected from a roofing company. Their priority seemed to be collecting payments, not fixing the actual issues. ### **5. A Competent Company Fixed Everything** We finally decided to get a second opinion and found **2BQ Roofing**. The difference was immediate. They assessed the roof and instantly identified the real issue -- something Royal Renovators failed to do after multiple visits and thousands of dollars. 2BQ Roofing fixed the problem correctly, and here we are **three years later with not a single drop of water**. That alone speaks volumes. ### **6. Final Thoughts** I would never recommend Royal Renovators to anyone. Their service was unprofessional, their workers were incompetent, and their repeated misdiagnoses cost us time, stress, and money. The skylight installation was just the final confirmation that they were not capable of doing the job. If you're looking for a roofing company that actually knows what they're doing, skip Royal Renovators entirely. Our experience with them was a complete waste, and the only real solution came from hiring a different company.
