We had our roof assessed and then some repairs done, mostly to the flat roof. The roofing team was excellent and went above and beyond for us, and they even removed an old satellite dish for free. We did have some hiccups with the invoicing originally, but got it worked out with the office team. They do also take Zelle payments which is nice. All in all, we would use them again and would recommend to anyone needing a roof repair. read more

We just had our roof completed by Howard & Sons yesterday, and we could not be any happier with the whole team from Cesar who met with us originally and informed us about the condition of our roof and made the correct recommendations based on our roof. Also Miguel their head project manager was absolutely fantastic, and he took his time to complete the project without cutting any corners as he was doing his own house. I would most certainly recommend them with confidence knowing that they will do a great job and recommend the correct roofing project based on your roof type and condition. read more

Good price and prompt service. I had a small leak a year later and they came over quickly to fix. Another year later, another leak occurred but I applied some roof patch myself over the spot they fixed that cracked open. This is typical of roof patch compound, I believe. read more

I am very happy with the work done by Howard & Sons in cleaning and repairing my roof. Even though my house was not near their office they were willing to come out here. All members of their team listened to my needs and requests and followed through. Isabel Cornejo always answered my calls or returned my calls in a timely manner. I highly recommend this company. read more

THE INSPECTION! It went great! Cesar came out and walked the roof with me. He explained a lot! The best part was his integrity. He told me I would need a new roof - in 3 years and to start saving! He also showed me a few quick fixes to prevent water ingress in some weak areas of the roof. LONG STORY SHORT Give these folks a call. There's a reason the reviews are so overwhelmingly positive. I will be saving and definitely be calling the fine folks at Howard & Sons when the time comes for a new roof. Cheers y'all! read more

Update: the team has sent representative down after my initial review. Initial review: The reviews about bad communication with the admin team are true. We contacted them and at first Amanda told us there is no availability on the time we asked. Then a few days later they came back and confirmed they could. This is our rental unit so arranged a time with our tenant, and drove half an hour to meet them. At the appointment, no one showed up. We tried to call the office number a number of times. After waiting for half an hour, we had to leave. Their promise cannot be trusted. read more

They did good work in a timely manner. Especially appreciate the team taking time to address all of my concerns throighout. Highly recommend this company. read more

I am impressed with the professionalism, efficiency, and quality of Howard & Sons, Inc. Recently, I experienced some damage to two valleys of my roof, and they were both fixed in just two days. Howard & Sons, Inc. was prompt in all of their replies and patient while working with me and my home insurance. I recommend Howard & Sons, Inc. to my friends and family if they need roofing services. read more

From start to finish this company is top notch. They were very quick to answer my questions with direct, no pressure, reliable answers. We made a convenient appointment and Ignacio was prompt and very quick. He knew exactly what I needed and how to approach the following steps. I would absolutely recommend Howard and Sons for any roofing job. read more

5 star experience from start to finish. I called multiple roofing companies to schedule a consult when I found one of my roof tiles on the ground and my drip guards hanging from the side of my house. I didn't know what, if anything, was wrong with my house and needed a pro to come take a look. Multiple other roofing companies either ghosted me or told me they couldn't come out until next year for a consult. Howard and Sons scheduled me for a consult the very next week. Cesar came to my house and was an absolute professional. It turns out my roof was perfectly okay but he was understanding and explained everything to me thoroughly. Some people would be frustrated at me for wasting their time, but Cesar was a saint. I'm hopeful that my roof will last for many more years but when it finally does need repair or replacing, I will happily give my business to Howard & Sons. read more

I recently had Howard and Sons out to repair my industrial building roof and from Anna's inquiry thru the Cameron's quote I was very impressed and the team that came out to do the work was equally impressive. I highly recommend them! Steve Barberi read more

Our large, enclosed patio room had several leaks. I called my close friend, a former contractor, and he recommended Howard and Sons as they did a good job on his roof. I made an appointment for an inspection and quote. They were pleasant to deal with and finished the job on time. read more

I went through the whole process of signing up to install a new roof with Ignacio Cesar Peinado. He was not detail oriented in writing up the scope of work and many things we needed were not in the proposal. When we finally got everything together and were ready to sign a contract, Cesar pulled out saying he got a bigger commercial job elsewhere. He wasted our time and energy and delayed our roofing project. Not professional and not cool. read more

Let me start by saying that these guys are amazing!!! From start to finish Ceasar, Miguel and his crew were on top of their game!!! The foreman Miguel put all my worries at ease with his constant communication and thorough explanation step by step of the process. He goes above and beyond to make sure that every detail is correct and to your satisfaction. I only have high praise for these guys and I highly recommend them for your project!!! Thanks guys!!! read more

See all

The overall quality of the roof that was installed on our house is great (as far as I can tell as a non-roofer). The workers who came to our home were friendly, they cleaned up after themselves and the foreman was wonderful. There was a complete lack of communication on the administrative side of things. I had to call numerous times to get a response once we sent in our deposit. There was no communication about the start date of our project and there was no communication (as promised by the sales rep) between our solar company and the roofing company. I was forced to become the go between and not being either a solar contractor or roofer made for many difficult conversations. Once the roof was "complete" in June, 3 months later in October we were contacted to finish the job and pain the metal trim that was placed on the roof. Based on the lack of communication and the difficult communication throughout this entire process I cannot recommend Howard and Sons Roofing. read more

Howard and sons roofing company did an excellent job on fixing my broken tiles and my roof in general. They came out on time they did quality work, and their price was competitive with other roofers. And the team was also very cooperative. I would recommend them to any of my friends. Barb M. read more

Miguel was awesome! Was very clear with me what needed to happen to fix my roof. He outlined everything and kept me up to speed the entire time. He was kind and courteous and so was his entire team. Will definitely be going through Howard & Sons again in the future. All the other roofing companies that got back to me was saying I needed an entire roof before even hearing what my problem was. Howard & Sons was able to do the repair and save me thousands. read more

Didn't think a review from 2018 would be relevant but I was wrong. We had a leak in our concrete tile roof and we also have solar panels so pinpointing the spot might have been tricky. After getting 3 estimates from local roofers, Howard's and Sons was our hands down choice. Cesar was the only one who actually got up on the roof, took a close look and was able to locate the spot needing repair. Instead of having to pay over $25,000 to replace the entire roof (as suggested by both other estimates), Miguel and his team were able to make the needed repair for way less. They even added new black paper in a much wider area than just where the leak was and completed all the work in half a day. Thank you, Howard and Son's - you did a great job. read more

I am the Facilities Manager of one SanDiego's premier private classical education schools. Hiring this company this past summer was one of the best decisions I could have ever made. We've had a lot of rain recently and more is on the way, I can honestly say I haven't had to worry about leaks at all and even better is that I have a warranty guaranteeing that for the next 15 years. Give Ceasar a call and see what Howard and Sons can do for you. read more

The company came out and gave me an estimate for roof repair. When I made a decision and wanted to hire them, and asked to speak to office manager Amanda regarding my project - I began getting ignored/stonewalled. I called at least 5 times within 2 weeks period, only each time being told Amanda is not available under different excuse, such as being in a meeting. I left Yelp messages, asking her to contact me back. On at least 3 occasions the people from their office on the other side of the phone promised me she'll contact me back either "today", or "as soon as she's out of the meeting", etc. Each time it turned out to be a lie. Finally, after a couple of weeks of chasing after their office manager to no avail, I had a lengthy conversation with Susannah, explained to her for how long I've been chasing Amanda with no success, told her this would be my last contact attempt and I'll be moving on if I don't hear back this time as well. I was assured "my frustrations are understood", and I'd hear back from Amanda "shortly" or something like that. Of course, that was another lie - no attempt to contact me by Amanda ever took place, going on 3 weeks and counting, since I wanted to hire them, and started reaching out.... It's just weird. If somebody doesn't want your business then why take their employee's time to come out, give an estimate and express interest in the project? If somebody doesn't want your business then why not just say so, and keep wasting each other's time by promising to contact me back and giving the impression you're interested in the job? I've never seen anything like this...Anyway, I'll be moving on with other quotes/companies that I've got, but I'd recommend people to stay away from this business. I'm not familiar with their quality of work, because I was never given a chance, but trust me - you do NOT want this type of customer service! UPDATE 8/7/2023: This update is a response to the reply below from the business. There was no "miscommunication". Amanda is lying when she's saying "we did reach out to you" - her call, and Cesar's call both came almost a week AFTER this review was published, and more than a month after my failed attempts to speak to her about the project, when she was refusing to either take or return my calls for over 3 weeks. Cesar's call was never needed or requested by me, and I made that abundantly clear to their office staff, during numerous attempts to reach specifically her. I find Amanda's lack of accountability, her refusal to own up to her own mistake, and trying to whizzle her way out publicly by lying in her response about calling me to be completely repulsive. If I still had any doubts about ever doing business with this company - they are gone now. When she called me *A WEEK AFTER THIS REVIEW WAS PUBLISHED" she did admit on the phone to never taking or returning my calls, even though she acknowledged she was informed multiple times I was looking for her. Amanda failed to come up with with any legitimate excuse for stonewalling me, and only said she "was very busy" (for 3+ weeks mind you, to make a single phone call, even though their office staff had told me she makes calls to customers every day) and that she "thought she was doing me a favor by letting others handle my calls, because she thought they could provide me the information I needed". read more

Howard and Sons saved my solar add-on project. After the solar company said we needed to have shingles replaced, and gave us an astronomical quote that would've doubled the cost of the project, I reached out to several local roofing companies. Another gave us a quote that was almost as expensive as the solar company. Howard and Sons gave us a very reasonable quote that did not involve reroofing half of our roof, and then got us scheduled ASAP. I definitely recommend them. read more

After waiting for 2 months for my scheduled roofing, they did not show up on the stated day. After contacting the office I found that the entire business had been shut down due to high rates of COVID infection in their crews, but they didn't let me know my date was pushed back. I give credit to the office for pulling together a team that could start the day after my original date, and get this done before we had rain. They were masked during most of the work. Crew did a great job in both tear off and replacement of my flat (garage) and asphalt shingled roof, including replacing a cracked skylight. Cleaned up after themselves well each of the 4 days. They tore a window screen, and repaired this for me when I pointed it out to them. Entire project cost $22,000 but I feel confident that the roof will last well past the 10 year warranty. read more

I very rarely write reviews but needed to share my experience with Howard & Sons, and in particular Cesar and his team. I contacted them out of desperation a month or so ago after our first real rainstorm of the season when my tenant informed me that the roof was leaking in the house. Cesar immediately responded and not only fixed the roof for the interim, but he continued to follow up with me to make sure it was holding up, he went out of the way to send me articles he'd researched about my particular type of roofing and some of the pending issues people have had with it, and he also gave me various options and pricing for fixing the roof, beginning with the most immediate problems with no pressure to do anything in particular. He was honest and helpful and I can't say enough how much I appreciated it. Because I had such a positive experience with Howard & Sons, I decided to ask for a quote to install skylights in our home. Not only was the quote a reasonable one but knowing how impatient I am, Cesar was able to schedule the installation immediately. To be completely honest, the job took a couple of days longer than anticipated but it was still a pretty quick turn around and I can't tell you how beautiful they turned out! Inside and out, the job is superb!! Clean, even lines and exactly what I envisioned! So now I've had two separate but very positive experiences with Howard & Sons. I appreciate their responsiveness, competitive pricing and professionalism and can tell you that they are well worth the call! read more

Howard & Sons - Roofing Near Me

Cesar, Miguel, and the team at Howard & Son's are quality and customer-focused. From the first call through the quote, the schedule, and the completion of our roofing project, the team was on point, professional and delightful to work with. Our project was rather small, but they treated us like their most important customer and happily accommodated every request. This is a company of high ethics, consistent quality, and stellar customer service and I recommend this team for your roofing projects. read more

As good as it gets. Had a roof leak due to slipped tile. Called last Monday, got an appointment for Thursday--Caesar arrived within the appointment window--of one hour. I showed him a picture of the slipped tile. Caesar went up to the roof and slid the tile back in place. Apparently, the original installers of the tiles did not nail them down--which according to Caesar is not uncommon. The estimate was free, and the work was "simple". I insisted that he be compensated--of which he only would accept a pittance. read more

Howard & Sons is responsive. They're coming Monday for repair of the roof and water damage in the drywall. We will let everyone know about the execution. The read more

I cannot express how pleased I have been with Howard and Son's Roofing... Courteous, Communication, Constant Follow-up and professionalism! I originally posted on NextDoor in San Miguel Ranch that I needed a licensed roofer. I noticed a slipped tile and rain was predicted in the next few days. Ignacio P, aka Cesar P. responded to my call for help, as he lived in the neighborhood and is District Manager for Howard and Son's Roofing. He stopped over to take a look. He took pics of what was happening on my roof and explained to me that he put the tile back in place, but would come back to place a piece of special sheeting to cover the small area where the paper had been exposed to the elements and disintegrated. It didn't rain as forecasted and he returned the following week to install the sheeting. I was so impressed with his professionalism and kindness to help a neighbor in need! Unfortunately, my 25 year old roof had other ideas, so when the rains did come I had leaks in other areas, I had kept Cesar P's Business Card and called him with another SOS and he came to the rescue! He sent his foreman, Cesar Lopez the next day to inspect the areas of concern, ridge-caps needed to be replaced along one side of the roof and sheeting needed to be installed as the original did not have any. Also a large majority of my roof tiles were not even nailed down, come to find out that's a shortcut by some unprofessional roofing companies€¦.needless to say, I learned a lot about roofing! So the work began, the team was professional, hard- working, courteous and and affordable. Cesar L. is affectionately known to his team, as the Roof Whisperer€, since they say he can smell where leaks are coming from; an experienced professional. Cesar P. contacted me numerous times to ensure everything was O.K., after the recent rains and when another leak occurred, they came right out to repair it , they are AWESOME and stand by their work! Even their office staff, Amanda, was super nice! I work in a service industry and the communication/professionalism from Howard and Son's is the best by far, a rarity in this day and age. Hopefully, I won't have to call them again, but will in a heartbeat for any roofing issues. Thoroughly impressed, I give them 5 STARS!!!I read more

Cesar, Miguel, and the team were professional, courteous, and detail-oriented. We are so pleased with the outcome of our roof replacement. I would highly recommend Howard & Sons for any roofing needs! read more

Responsive and reliable. Came out before the rain started even though we weren't scheduled for another couple weeks. Didn't charge us for an inspection. Cesar was so helpful and continues assist with any roofing questions! Amazing service and great roofing expertise! read more

Outstanding service! Thorough, professional, polite crew. Highly recommend Cesar-very consciousness and attentive service. Bravo!

WE HIRED THE RIGHT ROOFING COMPANY We have just had our home reroofed by Howard and Sons and it was the easiest and most pleasant home repair experience in my life. I have put new roofs on four homes that I've owned and this was by far the best contractor. Howard and Sons did a superbe job removing the old roof and installing new roof shingles, five skylights, and gutters. During the roof installation, they found some damaged facia boards and some termite damage and they also replaced that wood. Everyone, who comes to our house says WOW! One man installing Cox Cable said he could not believe our home was 41 years old. I worked as a carpenter for 10 years and have installed roofs. I know a lot about putting on a roof and the crew from Howard and Sons are top-notch hard-working craftsmen. They know how to do the job right, because there is a lot more to putting on a good roof than just nailing shingles. Miguel, the foreman, is extraordinary and you will see other reviewers praising him. Miguel is the face of Howard and Sons and the company and the customer are both very lucky to have him. He goes out of his way to make sure everything is done right and the customer is happy. Every day, he stays at work after the crew leaves and he cleans up everything around your home. On the hottest day of the year, with the temperature above 110 degrees, Miguel worked 12 hours on our roof. His attention to detail and perfection is unbelievable. I have not seen this level of old school craftsmanship and pride of work in over 50 years. I thought such men no longer existed. Doing business with the rest of the company is equally pleasant and hassle free. They know their customers by name and they return phone calls and patiently answer questions. This is the Rolls Royce of roofing contractors and they were the low bidder. Starting with Caesar, the first man to come out and measure our roof, I could see the difference in knowhow between Howard and Sons and the other companies bidding for the job. My next-door neighbor is the local manager of one of the largest home insurance companies. He said he is going to recommend Howard and Sons to his clients needing new roofs, because he was impressed with their work. Howard and Sons recommended Owens Corning TruDefinition Duration Cool Shingles in Shasta White. These are energy efficient shingles and since the installation, our home is noticeably cooler and we use the air conditioner much less. The roof looks gorgeous and with a new outside paint job by Charles Shup, another craftsman, we feel like we have a new home. As an elderly couple, we are confident this new roof will last for the rest of our lives and that gives us peace of mind. Do yourself a favor and choose Howard and Sons, because you can't do better at any price. read more

Howard & Sons Roofing is an excellent company. Not only are the workers polite, efficient, and professional, but when you call them you can speak to an outstanding representative (Cesar). Their work is excellent. I had a solar panel system installed which required them to remove all the clay tiles from one side of my roof. They re-papered that part of the roof and installed an asphalt shingle roof; then they returned after the solar panels (26 of them) were installed and put back the clay tiles around those panels, framing them. It looks great! I would recommend Howard & Sons to anyone considering having roofing work done. They left the job proud of how it turned out and left a clean yard, leaving me with doing nothing more to do than to admire my new roof! read more

After receiving 3 very high "estimates" for minor repair on our roof and very little interest in the job, Howard & Sons were referred to us by a friend. They were prompt to look at the problem and presented a reasonable fixed cost to us. We are extremely pleased with the job which was completed exactly as promised. Highly recommended. read more

I was looking for a roofer to do an estimate on a house I'm currently in escrow for. I contacted Howard and Sons around 10pm on Thursday evening, asking if they could come out at soon as possible. I received a message less than an hour later trying to schedule a time for Friday! I was so happy with the flexibility and courteous service I received from Howard and Sons! Cesar came out to the house on Friday morning and completed a total inspection of the roof. He was honest and detailed and let us know there were a few ceramic tiles that needed replacement and happily FIXED the cracked tiles for free! He was honest about the work that needed to be done and could have easily charged us. The service we received was exceptional! I would recommend their services to everyone! They gave us a quote for the back house that has a leaking roof, and their price was decent for the work that needed to be done. We need more contractors who are honest and priced fairly like they are! read more

After several bids we decided on Howard and Sons roofing. They included upgrading our old outdated vents with a ridge vent and low profile vents. Ignacio Cesar Peinado was very professional and took the time to make sure we understood everything. He worked around our solar company scheduling and his staff were on time. He provided communication throughout each phase of our roof replacement and even provided cool drone photos upon completion. He was always available to answer any and all of our questions. I would highly recommend Howard and Sons roofing. read more

Requested a quote in June 2019. Cesar came and gave a quote. Of the 4 quotes I received, Howard & Sons was the best price. (by a large margin) I accepted their quote and was told their next opening wasn't until mid October. (another good sign as they do a lot of business) However an opening came up in late August. They did a great job for a great price. I would highly recommend them! read more

Howard & Sons did a great job fixing my roof leak in east Chula Vista! Awesome company. Cesar Peinado, H & Sons San Diego County Regional Manager, a veteran like me, was very professional and extremely helpful, he and his team did a very thorough roof inspection and found the true source of the leaks (which the solar company had not). Cesar provided great details and pictures. He responded at all hours to my texts and emails. He saved me money by creating a plan so only the necessary parts of the roof needed to be replaced, and even helped speak to my insurance company with me, which resulted in me getting reimbursed for thousands of dollars more than they previously had told me. Then the lead installer, also named Cesar, came out and did extra things like chalking a line and meeting the solar people (who had to remove and change solar mounts) so they did their job correctly, so the roofing could be done right. All the Howard & Sons folks were great to work with and very polite to my family. If I could give a rating higher than 5 stars I would! read more
