    The surface of our balcony needed to be replaced after 20 years.. Nailheads were starting to push through the sealer. David introduced us to the Pli-Dek system, a more substantial flooring than our old sealant. He cut out some damaged plywood, then covered the entire balcony with several layers of new materials. It has a much sturdier feel now. Access to the balcony was through the house. His team was very careful not to mar any surfaces. After they completed the installation, they touched up the paint on the railing and cleaned up the area. We are very happy with the result. Good value. We will use them again.

    After I postponed our original roofing job date for nearly a month , his crew started the teardown on June 14 They finished today with a nearly perfect clean up and my new beige/brown 40 year composition shingles to replace the old greenish falling off mess. Mr Lara's crew chief & crew were friendly & did a good job keeping the site pretty debris free each day after I mentioned old shingle stuff in our neighbors property during tear down. They gave me the best price of the 3 estimates & made using my credit card a snap. Highly recommended!!

    Jose and his crew did a great job replacing our 20+ y/o flat top roof located in the outer sunset of San Francisco. I got FIVE estimates. Lifetime Roofing was not only the lowest cost bid but one of the most professional. They showed up on time, walked me through the actual roofing process, explained the pricing breakdown, and are fully insured for every conceivable incident. It took about a month to start the work and the job itself took one week. The crew did a great job cleaning my home and the sounding area after each day.

    My realtor recommended David Lara, and I feel so lucky to have met him. We had serious water issues and had scheduled roofers I'd worked with before, but they were taking too long and couldn't be sure what the problem was. David Lara came out within 20 minutes (!) of me calling him, gave a quote, and was the only one out of several folks who found the problem area. He even dropped by the next day to put a patch on. I didn't get close to this level of service from the company I was a repeat customer! David went above and beyond. The moment we had dry enough weather, David was there with his team. He provided me updates, photos, and was in great communication. He was also incredibly knowledgeable and saved me money with great advice. I own two properties, both which have had needed roof replacements, and have met and interviewed a number of roofers for big jobs. David Lara is THE BEST I've met. I've already referred him to two friends in need and will be working with him exclusively from now on. By the way - I was a little unsure about the company's reputation because they have no Yelp or other reviews. But David explained since he's been in business with his family (he's a second generation roofer), they get all their business word-of-mouth and don't do much online advertising. I respect that (and the other "roofing brothers" I used had great reviews and their roof leaked on me 2 years after installation, so clearly it's not a good measure!) I wanted to help him out with a detailed testimonial.

    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.

    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.

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.
