    Before

    Just finished a total roof replacement with Marcos and John Goess Roofing. An absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. From the first moment I met Marcos, I knew he'd won our business. Marcos is the warm and humble owner and takes pride in his work and his reputation. Aside from being a pleasure to work with, Marcos offered me the fairest price and most complete quote for the job. Thankfully I won't be needing him again any time soon, but I would use John Goess for all my future roofing needs.

In every step of the process, Nassau Roofers were extremely professional. No drama. No scare tactics. And their price was very fair. Spencer showed up to do the estimate. He explained everything very clearly. Straight forward and professional. Nelson and team showed up early 3 days later and finished the job quickly and cleaned up well. Part of the roof was covered in snow and these guys efficiently cleared everything away and even shared pictures and video afterwards. Megan and Brian are 2nd generation owners taking over from their father. The company has been around for 48 years. The work comes with a 12 year guarantee. It makes us feel good we are dealing with a company with legacy and will be around to take care of issues. We are very happy we picked Nassau Roofers.

I couldn't be more thrilled at how quickly they responded to my small job versus the big jobs that they're used to getting. I appreciate that they took my nervousness about having these creatures in my attic. Seriously I thanked them 100 times.

    ## **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.

He was very responsive. He patiently addressed all our questions and concerns (and we had a lot of questions) prior to starting, during and even after the process. We liked how the quote was very detailed for what would be done. Brian worked with us on setting up all the logistics prior to starting and on the day of the team was on time and efficiently removed and installed the new roof and skylights. Brian came to make sure things were moving along fine. The gutter team had to be scheduled for another day due to the weather but they arrived on time and had everything done within the day. The roof looked wavy at first but after the shingles settled in it looks great! Our attic fan had a few drops get in from rain. Brian had someone come in the next day to take a look and address the situation and it was promptly fixed. Communication was a huge plus for us, we would definitely recommend All Weather Guards.

The craftsmanship, quality and value they provided exceeded our expectations. Their crew went about their business in a professional manner. Separately, AWG installed all new gutters (with leaf protection) and leaders on our brick home. Again, the results exceeded out recommendation. We have been dealing with Brian and AWG for many years and they always exceed our expectations. The Saporita Family

    We hired Ramon / Rivera Construction for a bathroom renovation and interior painting project and…read morewould not recommend working with him. There were ongoing issues with both workmanship and execution. A tub faucet was installed in a shower, paint coverage was uneven and inconsistent, and multiple areas were left in the wrong color despite being told everything was complete. At times, a different, lower-quality white paint than what we had purchased was used. During the project, multiple glass windows were broken and plexiglass was installed in a historic bay window instead of properly replacing it with the materials we purchased. A tile floor had to be removed and redone after being installed without regard to the pattern, and we had to intervene to prevent a countertop from being cut in the wrong location. A significant amount of materials we purchased for the project, including tile, paint, and three ceiling light fixtures, were not returned or accounted for. When we attempted to reconcile materials, we were unable to get clear or consistent answers. Materials (we purchased) were also requested well in advance of when they were actually needed, and the materials used on site often did not match what we had purchased for the project. This, combined with the lack of clear accounting, raised concerns about how materials were being handled across jobs. Overall, the experience lacked attention to detail, transparency, and accountability, and we would not work with him again.

We've had a lot of rain recently and I can confirm all leaks have been fixed. What really stood out was how responsive they were. We had a separate leak pop up later on, and they came back right away to fix it. Great attention to detail, super fast responses and just really easy to work with. Definitely recommend!

    Avoid Roofing Scams + Highly Recommend This Reliable Crew‼…read more I reached out to quite a few contractors before making a decision--got multiple quotes, researched materials and major brands like GAF and Owens Corning. After all that, I ended up choosing this company, and honestly, after going through the whole process, all I can say is: thank goodness I picked them! My roof was in terrible shape--really damaged and also huge. But they got it completely done in just 3 days! The whole process was professional and gave me so much peace of mind: Every worker knew exactly what to do--no one was slacking off They blocked off half the street before starting, to make sure no debris would hit people or cars--safety was a top priority After finishing, they cleaned everything thoroughly and even used a professional magnet roller to pick up nails from the road They even dusted off the neighbor's parked cars--those thoughtful little touches really impressed me! And the best part? Their price was half of what a Chinese contractor quoted me before. No joke--one guy gave me a price that was double what I ended up paying here! At no point did I feel like they were trying to fool me or cut corners. They explained every step clearly and even sent me photos along the way to keep me updated. Compared to some other contractors who just throw out a number after barely looking at your roof--this was a totally different, much more professional experience. I truly, wholeheartedly recommend this company. Fair pricing, top-quality workmanship, great people. The kind of team you're confident recommending to your friends after using them yourself.

The cleanup could have been a little more thorough. I'm still finding large nails in my flower beds in front of my house. Pretty sure it's because the protective tarp fell down halfway through the process. The dumpster they used for the job was owned by a third party who did not pick up the leftover material right away. It took 5 days for the dumpster company to come by to pick up their dumpster, and by that time they were already dents in my driveway from the weight. Word of advice: ask which dumpster company they will be using/timeline to pick up the material, and make sure when the dumpster is placed that there are large plywood sheets under the legs to spread the weight and prevent driveway damage.
