Be careful. They are out of business and I believe Michael was unethical in offering repairs that were significant in cost with a 3 year guarantee and then going out of business. He had made plans to go out of business the same week he sent out repairmen, without telling us.The attempts at repair were shoddy, and water leaked into kitchen cabinets and ruined them, a big added expense for poor workmanship by Precision. We called the same week he sent repairmen out and got a message that he was "out of business". We sent a letter requesting a refund for the "repair and 3 year guarantee", which was returned. We will pursue other avenues. In the past he had done good work. It is rare that I post a one star review but this was egregious in our opinion, especially after being loyal customers. We had to get a new roof with another company. read more

We purchased a 100+year old home that needed some serious work. The roof had 6 layers on it, and the cedar shakes on two sides of the house were paper thin. We got quotes from several roofing companies to replace the roof and re-side half of the house, including from several A-rated Angie's List companies. Precision came in with a fairly detailed bid, and also a higher-than-average price. We met with Michael a few times and were convinced by his professionalism and treatment of his employees that Precision would be the right company for the job. Turns out we were 100% correct. They did an excellent job, dealing with all kinds of problems along the way without a hitch. They were meticulous in their construction and the finished product looks fantastic. In retrospect, given the quality of their work, the slightly higher price was a total bargain. We were glad to pay it. We've had multiple people comment on the quality of the craftsmanship. Their warranty is also top-notch, and considerably longer than that of their competitors. We intend to use them again if we ever have any additional roofing needs. Can't recommend them highly enough. If I had to nitpick, one issue was timing -- they had to move the start date a few times to account for unexpected delays at another project they were working on. read more

Precision Roofing just fixed part of our roof. Whole experience was great! Personal, knowledgeable, local, experienced, fair. Workers tidied up totally, were very professional. Owner Michael Green is just a pleasure to do business with - he is friendly, likes people, is lovely to talk to, really cares about his company, his workers, and your roof, or so it seemed to me. And he personally came over and climbed up on our roof to figure out what was going on! We had thought we needed a whole new roof. Which we were putting off getting. But as the rains continued, urgently, there was a sound like a leak, like water running in the wall, every time it rained. Very disturbing. First place I called to "fix a possible hole" never even called us back; and that place is very well known and I have listened to their ads for years. I had even memorized their phone number. But then, _Thanks__ to Yelp! I called Precision Roofing and am very glad I did. Call back was fast, visit was fast, assessment was thorough, follow up was friendly and efficient. They came out the first dry day and were all done that same day. No more disturbing sounds in the wall when it rains! Now I can enjoy the rain again! read more

My mom talked about the great service this company delivered for years. She recently passed away and I needed to get a couple things checked on her home's roof. One issue was based on a home inspector's comment about something minor. Michael could have just reassured me on the phone but he took the time to come out and actually look at "his" roof. (That cracked me up a bit.) He even took fresh photos so his letter saying all was well was completely official. The other issue was something Michael found during the above check: the TV service provider had installed the dish in the wrong spot and put holes in the roof! Thankfully, the TV provider approved a claim based on his estimate and Michael came back to repair that. I like how seriously Michael takes his business -- he has a high level of ownership for the roof, no matter who owns the home. I also like his honesty. He made sure that I knew to tell potential buyers that the guarantee carries over. I'm not surprised my Mom selected such a good roofer. I'm sure she would recommend Precision, too. read more

After seeing all the excellent reviews, I decided to call about the flat top roof I need an estimate for. They are now not doing estimates as of this review :( read more

Before purchasing the house, we were told our current tar and gravel roof had about five years left before it needed to be replaced. Three years beyond the five-year mark, we began the process of gathering bids. Of course, timing couldn't have been worse: after years of drought, California was having an over-abundance of rain, revealing EVERYONE's roofing problems, so many companies were booked into the new year and refusing to even give an estimate. To further complicate matters, many companies were saying they either didn't do flat roofs; they weren't taking on flat roofs at the moment; or they had one crew that did flat roofs, and that team was booked for months. Recognizing start dates could be months out, in spring 2017, we decided to try contracting companies again and found three that did flat roofs would give an estimate. One company's rep came out, surveyed the roof from the street, and gave a ballpark estimate. A second company, which had a two-month waitlist for an APPOINTMENT, gave a bid, with lots of qualifiers (city permit not included, can't tell what's under the roof, not sure if X or Y will be needed). The third company was Precision Roofing. Travis came out to give the estimate. Arriving as scheduled, he asked to go on the roof to take measurements and to see what would be involved. After, he came inside, shared what he observed, the types of damage he saw (e.g., crackled and pucker areas in the tar, loose flashing), as well as what he did NOT see (e.g., elements that would suggest dry rot; he ultimately turned out to be correct). Most impressive was that he took the time to answer every question about the process, material options, and questions most homeowners wouldn't think or know to ask. The information might have been good news or bad news for a homeowner, but every answer Travis gave was detailed and matter-of-fact, providing more information than either of the other companies. After almost 45 minutes of answering questions and addressing concerns, he said he would email an estimate in the next day or so, and invited us to call if other questions arose. If we decided to use Precision, he said they were scheduling jobs about two months out. Travis emailed an estimate as promised, and it turned out to be substantially less than either of the other companies. Plus, it included things that the other companies considered "extras." We ultimately decided to go with Precision and asked to be scheduled for late September/early October. As fall came around, Precision was already working on several jobs and, because the size of our roof required an extra day or so, there were challenges in trying to find a larger enough time frame in which our roof could be done as inclimate weather (extreme heat, rain, wind) continued to slide other, smaller jobs. But Precision had already secured the permits, so they were committed, and everyone at Precision was responsive, polite, and as helpful as possible given an industry dependent on Mother Nature. When the job finally started, Carlos' crew was prompt, skilled, and courteous. They always cleaned up at the end of the day, and they brought as much care to the work they were doing as they showed for each other's safety (one day was so windy that it was blowing hot tar on crew members and the house; they had to stop for the day, but said they would clean off the resulting tar drips; they did that and, when their cleaning took off some of the paint on the house and trim, they asked for paint to touch up those areas, too). The roof is now done and waiting for it's first rain, but it looks beautiful! Such a transformation, and neighbors have already been asking for the company's name. Construction is challenging in the best of circumstances, and yet everyone at Precision made this process infinitely easier. To have a big, expensive project with so many potential unknowns turn out as well as it did is thrilling. Thank you, Precision Roofing Company, for your commitment to serving customers as well as you do! read more

The leak in our roof in Berkeley seemed to be impossible to fix. Over a period of 5 years we hired 5 roofers and others who took a stab at fixing it and failed. This included a roofer who charged over $7500 to replace the whole section of the roof and the next time it rained - it was still dripping. Michael had a hard time convincing us that this time it would be repaired for real - he guaranteed it. His crew tested the roof carefully and throughly (unlike others) and figured out where the leak was originating. They repaired it for less than they quoted and the leak is gone! We're so glad a friend suggested Precision Roofing. read more

I am really surprised to read Meychelle's review. This company was terrific, fixed the bad mistakes of a contractor who did our roof, did not try to sell me anything I did not need, and the crew was hard working and very wonderful. I would highly recommend them. I am not sure how their prices compare because I did not get quotes, and I am impressed with how much roofing companies earn! But I think they did all the work they promised to do and I would definitely use them again. read more

Precision Roofing did a fantastic job repairing five leaks on our home in March 2009. I was holding my breath during the two recent rains, but we had absolutely no problems. I also appreciated that unlike other estimates we got, Precision only recommended REPAIRS and not an entirely new roof. The job went smoothly, Precision guaranteed its work--it was a good overall experience. read more

I've used them 3 times over the past few years, all smaller jobs, twice to replace a portion of my roof and once for an emergecy leak during the first storm of the season. They did quality work at a reasonable price. I would use them again. The last time I used them was about 2 years. read more

Precision is a phenomenal roofing company! Michael came out and gave us a bid while we were buying our house. A few months later, we finally got around to having the roof section replaced and Michael's bid remained the most reasonable. He was always responsive by phone and was great about scheduling the work. His crew completed the work beautifully and were very professional and timely. Highly recommended! read more

I just got an estimate from Precision roofing after our house inspector recommended them to us. They went out on the roof and to my surprise, told me our roof is in great shape and we don't need a new roof! They actually told me our roof would last at least 15-20 more years. I was amazed at how honest they were given that other companies were happy to give me an estimate for the work rather than telling me that I don't need to spend the money. It is rare to see a company operate with that much integrity and honesty. We'll definitely be calling them in 20 years when we need a new roof! :) read more

I bought a 125 year old house. After the purchasing I didn't have all the funds needed to do all the repairs necessary. I called in Precision Roofing Company and the came up with a five year plan. The short term repairs now and a full new roof in five years. It has been two years since the initial repairs and not a single leak. Great job great service. Ps they even fixed the latch on my gate. read more

DO NOT do business with this company! We had them replace a roof in 2010. After a faulty DTV install, we had them come out and paid them to repair a leak. They missed a spot in the leak... came back to repair a second time and then wanted to be paid 2x for their poor execution of the repair. After discussing with the owner Mike, he never followed up with us. Now, in 2018... we are receiving calls from a debt collector who seems to have assumed a debt for Precision Roofing. Next stop... legal proceedings. read more

After checking over client reviews for roofers in Yelp and Berkeley Parents Network I pared my selections down, had some estimates done for my very aged, leaking, built-up roof and decided to go with Precision Roofing. They were more expensive but I was sold on the professionalism and operating practices of the company. The owner, Michael Green, did the inspection and bid. He took multiple digital pictures to aid my understanding. His crew showed up on time and cleaned up afterwards. Michael visited the job site several times and kept me apprised of the progress with more digital pictures. When rot was found in the sheathing and the palisade facade (no surprise) it was repaired. Michael told me about his company's 38 years, how sure he is of his crews and his standard of service. His worker's have been with him for 12 to 28 years. They are well trained. This could be bluster and salesmanship except Michael backs up his work with the best warranty I have ever heard. Most roofers will give you a 5 year warranty. Michael guarantees his work for 10 years and then, with some maintenance at the 10 year mark, rolls that warranty over to another 10 years. AND when Michael retires the warranty will still be valid as Precision Roofing is being passed on the Michael's son. AND the warranty will follow the house if I sell. If a fellow gives you a 10 to 20 year warranty on a job, he has confidence in a job well done. I can't wait for the first pounding rains of winter. I won't be worrying about a thing. read more

These folks are great. I used them a few years ago in Albany and they gave me a solid quote. Their workmanship was outstanding. They ran into unforeseen roof termites and helped resolve it very well. read more

We had an excellent experience with Precision Roofing. They re-roofed our home with tar & gravel, replaced the drainpipes, added insulation - and best of all, fixed the problems with the roofing job completed by our previous homeowner. When we got our quote, Michael went to the trouble of pointing out these previous issues and that cemented my trust in his knowledge (other roofers didn't mention them). Would highly recommend them. read more

Long over due review....I had a section of my roof repaired about a mothor 2 ago and I had a really good experience. The guys did a great job. They communicated with me on what they were doing, and there was some unforeseen issues that they addressed and informed me of before starting work. I am definitely going to use them to make the other repairs on my roof if needed. Thanks. read more

Michael's crew just finished a roofing job for me and I couldn't be happier! I just bought this house and thought I could get away with a couple of winters before replacing the old roof. Michael did a thorough inspection and offered two options - to patch or to replace it now. It seemed like a waste of money to patch it, and so I decided to go for the new roof. Lucky that I did, because as they started to work on the roof it became apparent that it was held together with spit and good luck. There was a forecast of rain for one night while the roof was going to be unfinished. Michael sent extra people over to be sure everything was covered and ready. It rained. I didn't get wet, and I was grateful for the concern and attention from Precision. The crew did a great job. Everyday, they cleaned up the yard and left the job site looking neat. When the building inspector came out he told me he had no worries about Precision's work, "they are professionals and it shows". I feel well prepared for the winter ahead, El Nino or no El Nino. read more

I've been seldom impressed by home repair contractors in the Bay Area, but precision roofing will be the standard by which I judge any future work on my house. They showed up on time to access what needed repairing, I had a detailed, written, proposal of their repair plan within three days and they were there when they said they would be to do the job. Michael is a consumate professional with decades of experience. He runs a tight crew of roofers and carpenters who did a marvelous job of repairing our roof and then cleaning up afterward. I don't know what else to say other than that we'll go back to them in the future as well as recommended them to friends. read more

I had Michael come out to check a leak in our ceiling in 2012. I was expecting him to say that the whole roof needed replacing. (As the other company had recommended) Long story short, we just needed to replace a couple of tiles and redo a flash around the chimney. Here's the thing with leaks, it's hard to find out where the leak is streaming from. It could be leaking in one area of the house and tracking to another location. During the last heavy rainfall there was another leak. After hours of investigating, tapping, knocking and running up and down the latter, my husband finally gives up and says to call the PR guys. Michael came out and within 10 minutes of his visit, he found the source of the leak which was not from the roof at all. The leak is coming from a threshold that has a crack in it. He says a little caulk will do the trick. He didn't hand me a bill, he just said, "yep, some caulk will do, call me if you have anymore problems." You betcha Michael, I'm gonna be calling YOU when my roof needs replacing because I like your honesty and integrity. Precision Roofing is a small family owned business and I have had nothing but good interactions with them and most of all, I feel confident that they're not out to make a quick buck. If you are in doubt whether they are charging to much, get a second or third quote, you'll then get a feel for how much you should be getting charged. I felt his estimates were fair, while not the lowest priced, it was fair. read more

Roofing is a challenging business and keeping good employees is how it starts. Precision did an outstanding job or repairing / correcting problems created by another company years ago. They arrived on time on the committed day, did high quality work (confirmed by a General Contractor - my wife), cleaned up at the end of each day all at a competitive price that was a good value with peace of mind for next winter's rainy season.

These people gave me a wonderful experience all around, fixing bad leaks over our bedroom , and for the adjoining garage. I found them through Angie's List, where they already received many 5-star reviews. I was particularly impressed by the following: 1. They were happy to do a repair job, even though they had orders for major roof replacement jobs. One of the roofers we contacted said they didn't do repair jobs, and the other dragged his feet in following up his proposal. 2. They were able to respond quickly, by slipping us in between storms, thereby responding to our needs and keeping their own workers busy. 3. They offered a four-year warranty; the one other roofer who gave us an incomplete bid for about the same money, specifically stated in his contract that he did not warranty the work, and claimed that this was the prevailing practice in the industry for repair jobs. 4. The four technicians who worked on our job had been with Precision Roofing for 24 years or more. 5. They gave what appeared to be an excellent price for top-rate work. read more

Referred to Michael Green, Owner, Precision Roofing Co., by a friend who is an expert witness for construction defect legal cases. We had dry rot, flashing and skylight problems. Michael came over, climbed the roof of our 2 story home, surveyed the issues, and recommended repairs. We thought that a complete new roof and replacement of skylights would be necessary. Not so according to Michael. His detailed proposal that was fair and had a 5-year warranty. His team of 4 completed the work including priming and painting the eves in 2 days. The latter was added to the original scope of work and saved me a headache finding a painter for a small job. The workmen's average tenor with their company was more than 20years which spoke volumes about the company and its values. We had a very good experience and recommend them. read more

Let me add to the chorus of praise for Precision Roofing Company! The owner, Michael Green, came to the house to do an estimate for a section of roof over an old sun porch (now enclosed) that had been leaking for years. He was the third person to look at the roof and really the only one who immediately knew what work was needed. His crew were amazing (never any debris or other sign that they had been here). Two days later we had a new roof and a guarantee. He also called to tell me that they were able to do the whole job for $1,000.00 less that the original quote, since the wood on the roof was still good. AMAZING!!!!! Peg D. read more

We just had our roof and gutters completed by Precision Roofing Company and would definitely recommend them. They provided great customer service, a well completed job, and a good price. read more

I've had a relationship with Precision Roofing for 15 years. Mike and his crew did a total re-roofing of our traditional mediterranean home, rustic hand formed tiles over heavy roofing felt. They did a remarkable job in reconstructing the roof to its original unique appearance. 5 years ago, we had a large oak limb fall on our roof...Mike had a crew here in a few days to totally repair the underlayment and replace about 400 tiles. This last month we discovered a leak near the chimney and called in Mike for help. Again he sent out his crew in 2 days to assess the cause and to make repairs (a few broken tiles caused by a gutter cleaning contractor). They are truly the most responsive contractor we have ever dealt with, with a crew that has been working for Precision for many years. Prices are competitive, but quality and integrity are are foremost, and you can not find a better representative of the industry. read more

Hired Precision Roofing to repair our roof. We had one winter with no leaks or issues but when we bought the house the summer before the home inspector suggested we have the roof repaired to address some worn shingles. Precision was the highest bid we received but they were thorough and professional in their estimate so we went with them. Got the bid in August and had the work done mid September. Roof started leaking where it was "repaired" in March. Called Precision and they sent a guy out same day to take a look. He let us know that the repairs were not done correctly which was a little annoying but hey, it happens. They did what they said was a temporary fix and let us know the owner would be in touch. When we spoke to the owner he let us know that we misunderstood the worker who had come out and that the fix done WAS permanent. We tried to explain that there was no way that we had misunderstood the guy - we were shown pictures from the roof and he did a great job of explaining the issue. In addition he just added some goop around the vents but we had leaks from the vents and the from nails where the shingles had been replaced. Owner was absolutely dismissive and insisted that he knew all about this job and that the fix done was permanent and complete. We were going have these guys do our full roof replacement in a couple years but after this shadiness there is no way. It is a shame that the owner is so difficult because the guy that came out to look at the issue seemed to really know what he was talking about. read more

Go here if you want to get ripped off. They gave me a $2200 estimate for replacing 11 broken clay tiles on our roof, even though I had extra tiles so there was no material cost. I had another roofing company do it for $400. read more

So I just wanted to update on my previous review. Unfortunately the repair work done by Precision did not solve the leaking problem and although they were very responsive to come back out to the house each time it rained and leaked, they were unable to do an appropriate repair. In fact, each time they took the skylights apart, the leaking got worse. It was suggested that the skylights themselves were leaking rather than the roofing / flashing and they recommended that I purchase new skylights. Something didn't feel quite right about that recommendation, so before I spent more money I hired a skylight expert (recommended by Truitt and White) out to have a look. He thought the job looked well done from the outside, but upon removing the shingles he uncovered their errors. He reflashed and reshingled that area of the roof and voila! to date, no more leaking! He also charged less than 1/3 of what Precision charged me. Although, they are probably quite good at general roofing and they are very responsive to problems - they did try for three years to get it right... and all their workers were very nice, I would not recommend them for skylight leaking issues. read more

this place gets no stars. if i could give a negative star rating i would. Their workers came back to our house a week after their job, and broke in, stole a bunch of stuff. When the neighbors told me they saw the workers on our deck, i called them, they claimed they left something on our deck and needed to get it... oh yeah and all our stuff. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY, they are shady. Oh and they did a horrible job on our deck! read more

I asked for an estimate for our roof, and asked them to give us a call to talk about it as we are currently out of state. When I called to ask WHY their estimate we literally *three times* more than other companies, Mike the owner was condescending with me (perhaps because I am female?), and grew combative. Turns out he hadn't brought a ladder or climbed up to look at the roof. He borrowed a folding chair to get a little higher (though our roof is much higher than that! What roofer doesn't bring a ladder to do an estimate??) Turns out their estimate was based on a different type of shingle than we requested an estimate for... I would never hire this company to install a roof, just based on how rude and quickly angry the owner became when I asked knowledgeable questions any consumer should be allowed to ask. I definitely do not recommend this company. This is no way to treat potential customers! read more

We've used Michael twice - the first time his bid was one of the lower ones and he was so helpful in showing me what needed to be done and explaining everything. They were perfect contractors (on time, clean, did what needed to be done) the first time, so when we had a separate roofing problem (a different building), I called Michael again - we'd assumed we needed a new roof, but he said it was fine, just a leak. Fixed the leak and also some other iffy spots on the roof for just a few hundred dollars. This was three years ago, and we've had no problems since. read more

Michael and his crew installed wire mesh over places where rats were entering our attic space. Michael spotted the rats' scratch marks near the entries that even an exterminator failed to see. His crew successfully blocked the roof entries, and together with blocking screens that I put in the ground around our foundations, our rat problem has been solved. Michael was very prompt to reply to all inquiries and extremely helpful during our site visits. He is a pleasure to work with, and his team is very competent. read more

Michael of Precision Roofing is fabulous. We had a terrible roofer replace our roof with the predictable leaks and problems. I called a number of roofers before finding Precision. They were the only ones who would repair the roof and guarantee the results. Precision found and fixed every leak, I am now nearly 5 years out with the repairs still holding. I was saved from an early reroof and now would never use anyone else. Jolie K. read more

We've had Mike out twice, once when we first bought our house last year and a couple of weeks ago to do a yearly sweeping of the gutters. In both cases all the work was done promptly and efficiently. But what impressed me most about Mike was his integrity. When we bought the house, the home inspection report had recommended certain repairs to the roof. But when Mike came over, he remembered working on this house just the year before for the previous owners and said that most of the recommended work had already been done and was still under his guarantee, even though ownership of the house had changed. That's probably a couple of thousand dollars we didn't have to spend because of his honesty. The only problem we've had with Precision Roofing is lack of coordination between whoever's in the office and the people in the field. We once got a confusing bill which seemed to indicate that some work was still to be done, but it turned out to have already been done. Not a big deal. read more

I would highly recommend Precision Roofing for any and all of your roofing needs. Everyone from the woman who fielded our initial call, to the guy who came out to do the estimate, to the roofers who came to do the repair were friendly, professional, trustworthy and definitely knew what they were doing. The expertise of the roofers who did the repair was remarkable. The foreman has 30 years of experience with Precision and you could tell. They were able to clearly and honestly explain the root of the problem, and fix it without pushing us towards a more costly solution. We have a very steep pitch to our roof, but they worked safely and competently. I couldn't be more satisfied! read more

Outstanding work. Following removal and replacement of the old roof and gutters, I had them back repeatedly to install windows as well as other construction. Highly skilled, professional, Michael and his team set and achieve high standards. Would definitely hire again. read more

I have used Precision Roofing for many years and have been completely satisfied with the promptness and professionalism of Michael and his crews. read more
