This guy is a flake. I called to set up an appointment, and he talked my ear off for 15 minutes instead. He asked me to send him an email reminding him of my address and my need, which I did, and he never responded. Based on reviews, this person seems inconsistent and not professional. read more

Scott (owner) met me at the property during a break from another job and gave me a very thorough assessment of the roof issues and where he suspected the main exposure areas were located that were causing the leaks. He was very knowledgeable and friendly and even recommended the appropriate sealant to use and how to apply it so that I could do the work myself! He didn't charge for this assessment and I'll certainly be using Scott for any future work outside my (novice) ability! Strongly recommend getting a quote from Red Sun before proceeding with any other options! read more

I highly recommend Red Sun. After leaving messages with several other roofers, and never getting callbacks, I called Red Sun. They came out the day after I contacted them. Very friendly and informative. The work was done in a timely manner and the workers are extremely polite. Hopefully I'll never need a roofer again but if I do I will definitely call Scott at Red Sun. read more

Scott is so awesome! He really nailed our mystery water/rain leak issue inside of our house. We have had rain coming inside of our house for months or who knows how long it has leaked behind the drywall when raining....until we got to see rain coming down before our eyes and had two other companies looked at the issue, but they were suggesting either replacing the gutters or the entire roof which has nothing to do with the leaking issue after all. Scott was very persistent about finding the problem and made a total of three separate visits to get to the bottom of the issue and got it down completely. We were impressed by his positive and optimistic demeanor dealing with our frustration about the issue and assured us that he will do his best to find the issue. He sure did!!! I have dealt with other business owners about any sort of house related issues, but have not met anyone who is wonderful to work with and very honest with the customers like Scott does. He's professionalism is truly respected and we love to spread the words about him. read more

Scotty is great, really knows his roofing and makes sure the problem is fixed right. Easy to get a hold of and very professional. Highly recommended. read more

Scott is great! We needed some immediate roof work, and Scott was able to squeeze us in to his busy schedule. He did an excellent job of explaining everything. He is honest, professional, and knowledgeable about his field. Great pricing too. read more

Scotty was an outstanding ally and a huge help to me. I contacted Red Sun based on the Yelp reviews I read and as expected, I received exactly the kind of service and attention I thought based on Yelp. Although Scotty wasn't able to help me with my particular situation exactly, he did a bunch of research and leg work for me to assist me with my problem...all unpaid by the way. He was extremely helpful and very nice during the entire process. read more

Scottie is a great guy to know, particularly if you are having roofing problems. He and his crew are one of those rare companies who are extremely knowledgeable, pay great attention to your needs and do it at a fair price. We have an oddly constructed combination flat and peaked roof, and had had water coming in for months due to poor design and construction. Another contractor tried to fix it and ended up making the our water leaks even worse. Scottie and his crew took the time to properly investigate the leak. They showed us the problems and explained precisely what was happening and why. They isolated multiple leaks, fixed them and did so in a way which ensures we will not have more headaches down the road. Lastly, he insisted on waiting until we experienced heavy rainfalls, to ensure the problems were fully resolved. THEN he finally billed us. After months and months of leaking, we now have no water coming in and no buckets in our living room, even after a recent one-day rainfall of 7 inches. Our place is bone-dry. It's very reassuring to work with a roofer who concentrates on doing everything right for the long-run, doesn't pile on the charges and guarantees his company's work for an extended period. I will absolutely use them again. Thank you VERY much, Scottie et al! read more

Scott - the owner of Red Sun Roofing - was great to work with. I called him on a Thursday with a need for a roofer to seal a TPO roof, which is way harder to find than I thought. Everyone was either telling me they couldn't do it because they lacked the right tools, or the quote was between $750-$900. Scott was quick to accommodate my needs into his schedule, and came out Monday morning. He finished the job quickly and only charged $300. I will use Scott in the future. Just make sure to follow-up with him as he is very busy! read more

Scott did some roof and window sealing work for me a view years ago, so I contacted him again for some help with a leak in my garage roof that had gotten worse with all of the recent rain. He happen to have his crew nearby and they came over right away and quoted me and fixed in on the spot. The team also fixed some gutter issues and replaced some flashing trim that had fallen off in the weather. All around great experience and very reasonable pricing for quality service. A+! read more

Called to have Scotty come out to inspect a leaky part of my roof. He said he was pretty busy but would try to look at that week. Didn't happen that week, I called back, he says he's been really busy, but will come to look at it soon. It's now been about 2 more weeks without any response from him, so I guess he's really, really busy. Too bad, as he sounded good based on other reviews here. read more

Scott came out to evaluate roof damage after one of the snow-ice-melt-rain-snow-ice-melt cycles this winter. He gave me a very reasonable interim step that would address the immediate leaks, and keep the roof -- and my ceilings-- safe until the weather turns warm enough to do the bigger job, which is still way more reasonable than could be expected. I appreciate the multi-year guarantee too. Definitely recommended. read more

I called Red Sun in a panic one rainy morning when I woke up to a leak in my kitchen. After briefly describing the situation to Scott, he agreed to come by to take a look at my roof and give me an estimate. Although he later discovered that the condition of my chimney (the source of the leak) was worse than expected, he did not use it as an excuse to inflate the bill. The repairs were completed promptly, cleanly, and for the exact dollar amount originally quoted to me. There was a terrible downpour the next day, and my kitchen stayed bone dry. Thanks, Scott!! read more

Extremely impressed by the level of service I received from Scotty and his team at Red Sun. THE SITUATION - I live in a 4-storey, 6 unit condo building. One of my neighbors noticed we were missing a few patches of shingles on the roof. Since buying a condo, I've come to realize that water is my arch-nemesis, and I wasn't about to let it ruin my ceiling. THE SOLUTION - I contacted 4 vendors (found on Yelp!) and reached out to each of them, explained the issue, told them it was a competitive situation and asked for a quote. Of the 4 vendors, only 2 physically came up the roof to check the issue (the other 2 drove by, and viewed it from the street). THE EXPERIENCE - Scotty from Red Sun was one of the vendors who came to view the damage up close. I was amazed and impressed by 1) Scotty's energy at 8am, and 2) His level of customer service/helpfulness, explaining how we could fix some other issues on our deck (non-roof specific). THE QUOTES - I only ended up receiving 3 quotes. When I received Red Sun's quote, I thought it was the middle bid (the highest bid was more than double either of the other 2 bid's), but given my experience I was going to recommend that we use Scotty's team. When I checked, Red Sun was the most competitive by a small margin, which made the decision a no-brainer. THE RESULT The team did a great job. Replaced the missing shingles, secured the metal flashing, cleared the roof of shingle debris (you had to be there to appreciate that this was an incredibly difficult task), and even MacGyver-ing a spear by duct taping a knife to a broom handle to clear a drain which was completely blocked by a ball. Again, water is my enemy. read more

Highly recommended. Scott and crew did a great job on helping us repair/replace a portion of our roof. Excellent service and very knowledgable in explaining the various issues. They also did extra work that wasn't included in the original quote and did not charge us any extra. He's been around for a while and a very trustworthy crew. I will be using them again for future jobs and recommend to anyone. read more

After reading other Yelp reviews, we hired Scott at Red Sun to solve some water/roof issues we were having with our home. Scott did a great job for us. He was very responsive and explained very clearly what was causing our problem and what needed to be done to fix it. His price was reasonable and his crew was polite and thourough with the work they did. I highly recommend Red Sun! read more

Sunday I came home to strange things sticking up off my flat roof. Turns out the strong winds had blown some roofing off, but being on a third story with no inside access, I didn't know how bad it was. I knew rain was coming and was worried about the "roofing chasers" that drive up and offer to help. I called 3 roofers and Scott picked up the phone on a Sunday night. He said he'd get someone over to secure it before the rain on Wed. Monday there was a dusting of snow. I didn't expect them to climb and the snow melted as it landed. Tuesday morning a crew of three great guys came and secured my roof. The whole membrane had blown up and flipped over. They took pictures and showed them to me and explained what they could do today. Scott called and told me the cost to do a temporary repair. I was so grateful for the swift help and great communications. That night there was a terrific thunderstorm with lots of rain. I was so grateful. Contacted Scott about getting copies of the pictures and a swift estimate for a meeting with the insurance agent. He, again, was great in responding by email. Told me I'd have the info by 8 am on the day needed. I received a picture and documentation enough to work with the State Farm Agent, who was also great to work with. I've had my bad experiences with contractors, but State Farm and Red Sun Roofing have made this difficult problem a sane situation. Thanks to the professionalism of both I am sleeping better again. read more

We have a four unit condo building and the top unit was getting rain damage. Scott was able to correctly diagnose the causes of the issue over the phone quickly and came out the next day to verify. He was able to get his team in and out pretty quickly, delayed only due to weather related issues, and corrected the problem. He is a great guy and stays extremely busy for a reason. Highly recommend him! read more

I called Scottie at Red Sun after reading the reviews on Yelp. I agree with what many others have said. Scottie is bit flaky and at times slow to get back to you, but he is a super nice guy and they did a great job. Scottie really spent the time with me before the job and after the job explaining all that they were going to do and then all that they did. He really seems to know his stuff and enjoys telling you all about your roof. He gave me a fair quote up front and stuck to it and got the job done not too much after he promised. The only surprise at the end was that he didn't accept credit cards, but he was great and we worked it out. read more

My tenants complained after a huge storm that there was water leaking through the roof. It was an urgent request since the tenants were scheduled to buy the house the following week. Scott used quality materials and not just a mish-mashed roof repair. He took pictures and emailed them to me and gave my tenants piece of mind,. He did on an urgent request I know because I was pretty much in panic mode. He took care of it the repair same day as he promised. You are awesome Scott. Thanks for your patience with me. read more

The day we moved in, we discovered we had a leak near one of the skylights in our bedroom. The next morning I called Scott and he was there the same day, and on my roof about 5 minutes after arriving. He diagnosed the problem quickly, took pictures while he was on the roof to show me what he was talking about, and proposed a simple solution and took care of it right then and there. He was also a really nice guy and very easy to work with. I highly recommend him. read more

Scott has helped us with a roofing repair already, another leak soon, and he is even going to water proof two buildings for our HOA soon. Our whole condo association trusts him for major work. I too trust him when I have even just a question. He is very professional, committed, and honest. He is very direct with what we need. He also explains everything in a way that I can understand. We are glad we found him. Very happy with the work he has done and we look forward to working with him soon in the future :) read more

Scott, (the owner of the company) came out quickly to take a look at my roof. He seemed very knowledgeable on what he is doing and we looked forward to future business with him. Unfortunately he is not a man of his word. About 3 weeks ago he told me he would get me a quote for the work that needs to be done, within a next week (which has not happened). I have left emails and called with no response and based on other reviews, this happens quite often. During the time spent with Scott, he asked me several times to leave him a good review here on yelp (possibly to combat all the negative ones he already has on here). I understand that he can be busy and swamped with work, but to leave potential business out to dry with no updates is not acceptable in my book and I cannot recommend this business at all. read more

Had Red Sun out to look at some loose shingles, Scott ( owner) did a full inspection and gave me an honest review of the whole roof and chimney that needed some tuck pointing. Had his crew come out within a couple of days and repair all the issues at a very reasonable cost and they were very knowledgeable and great to work with. I would recommend them for all your exterior waterproofing and or roofing needs. This guy knows his stuff and does not over charge. read more

Although we didn't go with Scott the first time around due to his availability, he was the only one who diagnosed the leak correctly. We had spoken to other roofing contractors who had a common opinion but differs from Scotts regarding the issue. We had try their fixes but the leak did not go away until we had tried what Scott had suggested in the beginning. read more

We have a 100-year-old house that had a mix of roofing issues, from a chimney cap that had come off to a leak around a skylight to another leak on another part of the roof. Scotty came to do the diagnosis and clearly could explain what I did need and what I didn't. Classic case of what I thought would be hard was easy (and they found some harder stuff too that needed doing which I didn't realize.) They did a good job fixing it and now we seem leak-proof. read more

Our condo building hired Red Sun Roofing to repair the flashing and a hole in the ease of our roof. Our building is an awkward and very tall 4-story walk-up with a very steep roof so most companies we've come across tack on some hefty fees for the accessibility challenges. However, Red Sun was very reasonable and fair. Scott and his team fixed the issues with ease and were great to work with: responsive, fast, and reliable. We'll definitely work with them again for any future issues. read more

Scotty was terrific. He stopped by my house on a Saturday afternoon to help trouble-shoot an AC / roofing problem. After spending 45 minutes playing detective in the hot attic, he figured one of the issues causing the problem. I can't thank Scotty enough for helping out. He cares about solving the problems for his clients. I would absolutely use Scotty again!!!! read more

I had a leak in my roof which had been a minor issue for years. It became a bigger issue when I went to sell the condo. Scott came out and fixed the leak within days! Great work at a very reasonable price! Highly recommend! read more

Reached out to Scott for a roof inspection on a house purchase. He was very responsive and went out of his way to address our concerns for the roof after the original inspector pointed out a couple of visual faults. Scott gave a very honest and thorough analysis and recommended the what needs to be fixed without trying to oversell or over charge. once we close on the property, I will be hiring him for all future roofing needs. read more

Scott did a such a comprehensive job examining our roof to ensure it was leak free - checking each level of the roof, leaving no stone unturned. Additionally, he recommended waterproofing our rear brick wall for piece of mind, which was absolutely worth it. Following work completion, Scott continued to check in to confirm all was well -and it has been. Highly recommend Red Sun for roofing an waterproofing needs!!!!! read more

Scott was great! It took a while to have him come out to the house to diagnose the issue (he is a very busy guy!), but if you continue to follow up with him, he is responsive and respectful. He did a large amount of caulking around our roof where we were experiencing a pretty substantial leak in the room below. His work seemed to fix the problem, and I plan on contacting him in the future for a more long term roofing solution. read more

We called Scotty based on the lone review out there, and thanks to Jenny because we weren't disappointed. Scotty is the type of solo contractor you wish you knew for every problem you may have with your home. He's honest and a straight-talker -- not out to screw you -- and genuinely there to help you. He quoted us half of what the company we got through Angie's list quoted us (albeit they were of more commercial shop), and I'm sure did just as good a job, if not better. He fixed our roof leak problem and any other problems in the general vicinity of the leak. He drew diagrams and explained what was going on up there, as well as gave us a detailed explanation of how he fixed it. Also gave us recommendations for other issues (non roof related) we were having in our home. Just generally a nice guy who makes an honest buck. I definitely recommend giving him a shot! read more

I called Scott on a Friday, hoping that he would have time to stop by early the next week to look at my roof and assess what was causing some leaking. He was able to visit that next morning (Saturday). He showed up ontime and was able to quickly figure out the cause of the leaking. More importantly, he was candid that although it would be very important to fix the problem as soon as possible, he thought it would be a job easy enough for me to do on my own. Scott quoted me the price he would charge for him to do the work, and then walked me through the process of how I would make the fix on my own. I found that to be a sign of honesty -- obviously he could have just said the roof was in bad shape and would require his efforts (like I would have known the difference). Instead, he explained everything to me and gave me options, even if that didn't mean any payment at this time. My roof will likely need work in the future, and no doubt I will call Scott for assistance. read more

Called Scotty in the morning during the week and he came the same day to provide an estimate from a leak coming from through my kitchen ceiling. The issue was the bedroom window frame on the second floor had to be resealed and the chinmey needed immidiate repair - it had cracks and splits and the metal flashing was split. Scotty gave an excellent price I could not pass - considering I received two other quotes from other companies with the same diagnosis. Thank you Scotty I will definetely keep you in my phone book for roofing repairs! read more

I woke up at about 4:30am to a leak in the roof. This has never happened to me before so I checked out Yelp right away to see who I should call. Based on all of the positive reviews, I gave Scotty a call a little later that morning (around 6:30am) and he got back to me right away. He spent about 10 minutes on the phone with me, asking about all the details and offering to come out that same morning. When he came a few hours later he was very thorough looking at all of the possible problem areas, then explained to me that he was "very confident" about the cause- there was no seal around the door threshold to the roof deck, and that's where the water was seeping in. Knowing that I had told him that I was heading out of town for the holidays the following afternoon, he said he would be able to come back the next morning and apply the seal, much to my relief. But--and this is the best part-- he explained exactly how I could do it on my own, for a $5 dollar tube of caulk, and where I could find it at the closest roofing contractor supply location (because he knew it wasn't available at Home Depot, and there was a closer contractor supply place to me anyway). It was an easy fix, and took me about 15 minutes to do. Haven't had any problems with the leak since, and he saved me a ton of money by telling me how to do it on my own. There are a couple other roof issues I've had in the back of my mind to get fixed at some point, but now that I've gone through this ordeal of waking up to a leaky roof in the middle of the night, not only will I deal with them asap but I will definitely be using Scotty. read more

Scott from Red Sun Roofing did a great job on my roof for a reasonable price. Scott kept me informed and emailed me pictures of the roof and the work he had done. I would recommend him to all my friends. read more

Scott , the owner, and his crew did our roof and waterproofing in September. He has great knowledge and are very honest and friendly. I strongly recommend him for all your roofing needs. Mette and Howard Chicago, Illinois read more

Scott did a tremendous job and was incredibly honest. Another roofing company gave us such a high quote that the almost pushed us to consider a new roof. I told Scott this and he could have led me in many paths and most would have been more expensive that what he charged us because he was honest. He told us our roof was fine and needed some minor repairs and provided enough insight so that I could fully understand the issue and the repairs needed. I didn't just get my roof fixed but walked away from the experience more knowledgeable about the topic of roofs and roof repairs. He is friendly, knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor. I'd recommend Scott to anyone and will use him again. To any of these reviews that say he doesn't get back to people quickly, I don't buy that. He is certainly busy but people need to exhibit some kind of patience when dealing with professionals who are busy because they are good - or in Scott's case excellent. read more

I would highly recommend Scott for your roofing needs. We called Scott out to our business for a very bad leak which he was able to get under control for us. Scott was very patient and honest with us even as our problem went on for months after his initial visit. Scott came back and stood behind his work each time. When the leak turned out to be a bigger issue than anticipated, Scott was able to give us his professional opinion on further work necessary for our roof and also offered to help us fix that as well. There are a lot of rats and sneaks around in these types of businesses... we have had our share but Scott is an honest man! A lot of these people who come out are also assholes, Scott is as nice as ever!!!! Definitely recommend giving Red Sun a call! read more
