## **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.

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.

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!

They saved me a lot of money in the process.

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.

I figured a short drive for him would result in a slight savings for me. I asked him for an estimate over the phone but he insisted on coming over?!?!?! So I met up with him and he gets 5 stars for being timely. The estimator began to COMPLAIN to me about the difficulty of the job and the manpower required to complete such a task. He exclaimed a minimum of 2 men are required and it will take all day! REALLY? His estimate to CLEAN the debris from the roof gutters (3 sides) came to $750! REALLY? Honest business here? I then asked him what it would cost to clean my next door neighbor's roof gutters so that I can capitalize of some economies of scale here. The estimator then lowered his price to $450/house. REALLY? To make a long story short, I went with a STATEN ISLAND guy that gave me quote over the phone after sending in my house pic and he quoted me $175/house!!!! Why are manual laborers like this so dishonest? Whatever happened to honest day's work? Whatever happened to one's honesty? So much for religion, diversity, equity and inclusion?!?!?!? It seems like the local laborer charges for DEI and religion. No thank you.

I'm an architect and my wife's an engineer, so we went deep into the search for a Brooklyn roofing contractor. Not as easy as you'd think: most companies chase bigger commercial gigs, and finding someone solid who actually cares about residential work took some digging. We ended up hiring NY Roofing. They handled everything--ripped out the rotted wood decking, added DensDeck recovery board so we're set up for a future rooftop solar setup, laid down a cold process SBS modified bitumen roof, reinforced every detail with liquid flashing, and hooked us up with a heavy-duty 6K commercial gutter system to finally fix the drainage mess. The crew finished the whole job in just two working days, right on schedule. They kept the site spotless and really watched out for our property and our neighbors--super considerate. Honestly, their professionalism, speed, and workmanship blew us away. If you need reliable roofing or waterproofing help in Brooklyn, I'd recommend NY Roofing without hesitation.

My flat roof had been patched by other contractors before and kept leaking every time we got heavy rain. A neighbor on my block recommended NY Roofing and I finally feel like I found the right company. They came out fast, did a proper inspection, and actually diagnosed where the water was getting in instead of just throwing another patch on it. The crew replaced the membrane, redid the flashing along the parapet wall, and sealed everything properly. Work was clean, they protected the interior access points, and finished on schedule. Been through a full rain season since with zero issues. NY Roofing knows Brooklyn roofs and they do the job right. Highly recommend.
