Redwood roofing provided the best value of all the other quotes I received for a new roof. Ellison was super efficient and responsive. Whenever I had questions or concerns he responded immediately. I love that they are a local company and I highly recommend them. read more

Ellison is absolutely fantastic! We constantly had leaks in our roof and Ellison was able to assess quickly. The last contractor put in tiles without the gutters first. Totally wrong order and caused constant leaks whenever it rained during the work. Ellison comes in, works fast, carefully, does it right, and is priced very reasonably. I would recommend Ellison to anyone that needs roofing done well for a good price. read more

Redwood was a perfect recommendation from our relator for redoing the roof on our new house. Ellison was great about keeping us up to date on schedule, price and options. He was super helpful too with helping us decide what to do with our soffits, gutters and a lightwell. The price was right in line with what we discussed and payment was easy. read more

Ellison was kind and professional! Great to work with, would do it again. Experienced and knowledgeable.

Ellison responded to my first call right away. He showed up the next day at the beginning of the time window he gave me. They got the job done quickly. A week later, the ranges are pretty strong and the leak was repaired, water was still coming through. Once again, he responded immediately and his crew was out the next day and fix the issue. We will definitely use him again. read more

Ellison is very responsive. His team did a great job for me replacing my old roof for insurance purpose. The team worked fast and honestly without cutting corners. My roof has a very steep shingle portion in the front. One other company declined to replace that portion, but Ellison's team did a beautiful job replacing the shingles and metal in this portion and also did a great job replacing the flat roof in the back. I recommended him to one of my friends and she also told me she was very satisfied with his work. Ellison did what he promised me and he responded to my questions promptly. I highly recommend this company. read more

Communicating with Ellison has been one of the most frustrating experiences of my life, in the many years I've worked with professional contractors. If the roof work had been completed without any issues, or if I hadn't bothered to check it personally, or if my tenants didn't happen to suffer a water leak right after the installation... I would have probably been oblivious and just left a positive review. However, because we found issues and reported them, he became extremely defensive and started alternating between "there are no problems" and "we'll take care of it" - but not actually taking any concrete actions to remedy the flaws. Part of the problem might be due to his delegation / subcontracting of work to other people - the work gets shoddy (see pictures of gaps in the metal flashing) but he will keep insisting it is good enough, while frequently miscommunicating the process or getting confused about where the flaws are. Specific example: we saw a major water leak from the roof during the first rain after the roof replacement - Ellison kept insisting the issue was with our siding, not the roof, even after we identified gaps in the roof and his own staff reported there were no problems with our siding. It took a month of arguing and withholding payment until the issues were finally fixed to a professional standard. In the future, client communication about problems should probably be routed through some other staff member who is more straightforward and less dodgy/defensive. read more

Redwood Roofing completed three jobs for us. Two of which were flat roof and one was a heavily pitched house structure. Ellison was the team lead. Very communicative via text. I felt as if I was actually on the job since Ellison sent many images of their progress. The first was a flat roof townhouse, and that was completed in one day, including gutters with no issues whatsoever. The second was a very large six unit flat roof. Two stories, and I must say, for all three jobs Ellison gave us a very fair quote. Thank you! The large apartment took around four days including demo so I put a couple images for you. Out of all the quotes I got, Ellison was willing to work me into the schedule much faster than I thought it was possible. We have two more pieces of property that, we will use Redwood Roofing as the contractor. read more

Ellison and his team are phenomenal to work with. I forgot to publish this review but the work was done months ago. I had a terrible roof job done by a con artist on thumbtack. Did you know all roofers need to have a c39 roofing license and Thumbtack lists roofing contractors that do not have a c39 license? Yeah it was bad. Anyways I had to redo the flashing around the roof because it wasn't installed. Go figure! On top of this I had to have a home inspector sign off on the work due to insurance. Ellison came thru and fixed the job. However the home inspector from Home Guard wouldn't approve the job due to a technicality. I informed Ellison and he fixed it without a fuss. Rad! I first thought it was a pain to have a home inspector sign off on the job but it actually worked to my benefit. read more

Roofing is a competitive business and vital important part of a house. Minor leaks can cause major damage. Therefore, you have to really select someone who pay attention to details who can do the project methodically. When you make a request for replacing your roof, you would get tons of responses. But, actually, you are most likely meeting a salesman that do not do the actual work. You might end up get a proposal that looks nice and the actual work can be very different. Ellison is the owner who provides you the proposal. He actually does the work too. You would get what you are offered precisely. I highly recommend you meet Ellison and work with him. He can not only provide the quality and also the value for your money. read more

Redwood Roofing did a roof replacement for my new property. Redwood wasn't the cheapest quote that I had received, but they gave a competitive bid with the requests I had asked for and demonstrated a good track record of quality work at a competitive rate. Ellison's communication was the best amongst all the other companies I was talking with at the time. All work that was done was outlined and thoroughly referenced in the contract. Our roof was a primarily flat, so we went with a mod bit torch down with 2" poly iso foam boards for insulation purposes. The crew that worked on our roof was very respectful, polite and fast. The work itself took 3.5 days from start to finish. I will be using Redwood Roofing again for my other property once that roof is due to be replaced. I highly recommend going with Redwood Roofing if you need roof work. Thank you again Ellison for your professionalism. read more

I highly recommend Ellison for any roofing related projects. Coming to a new home where the previous roof had issues and could be vulnerable for the upcoming rainy season, Ellison and his team handled my home's re-roofing with fast speed. He was very accommodating to helping me with the quoting, adjusting the plan when he sees new information on my roof (e.g. with plywood), and addressed extra problems as his team saw (dryrot on the roof). Ellison is also very responsive in messages and always able to adjust when there's needs. As a result the reroof was done faster than other quotes, and now with the rainy season, I'm living here without any worry. I'm very glad that I hired Ellison and his team on this project. read more

During the epic rains of December 2022, we awoke to the sound of water dripping into our bedroom. Within a week, we had an estimate from business owner Ellison -- by far the most competitive of the three we requested. By mid-February, the job was complete: new shingles, new bitumen membrane, flashing and vents -- all installed within two days. We also needed a skylight replaced, which had to wait for a special order. Ellison gave us a temporary covering, then came back shortly to finish the job once the new window came in. Based on our experience, it would be hard to over-recommend Ellison and his team. He did excellent, warranted work for about half the price of competitors. Thank you!! read more

Simply awesome! I hired Redwood Roofing Co. to replace the old roof of my cottage home, and got a competitive estimate for the project. It took them about 2 days to finish. Woah! Ellison is very responsive and responsible throughout the entire process, from sending an estimate and proposal, signing a contract, overseeing the project phases, and completion. The effective communication plays an important key to our client-contractor relationship! His team is one of the best because they're reliable, efficient and provides truly quality service. I highly Recommend them to anyone who's looking for an affordable and excellent roofing service!! I'm so happy with the new roof, and would definitly hire them again when the next opportunity comes!! Keep up the good work, RRC! read more

I was introduced to Redwood Roofing and Ellison by my trusted realtor who has previous great experience with them. I initially inquired with them over 4 years ago. They went on top of my roof, performed a thorough assesment and provided me a comprehensive and competitive quote. Unfortunatley, I was not able to contract with them at that time due to other circumstances. Fast forward four years later, I am now in need of a new roof. I pinged Redwood Roofing once more and other companies for their bids. Once again, Redwood Roofing provided the most comprehensive and competitive quote. I signed and within two weeks they were at my door bright and early to start on the tear-off! Four days later my roof and piece of mind was complete. So why do I recommend Redwood Roofing? - Work order contained everything I needed - Competitive pricing!; There was only a slight increase from my 4 year old quote to accomodate for inflation - The team thoroughly cleaned up my surrounding areas everyday. This is important because I have little children. - Any collateral damage was promptly taken care of! - The roof is PERFECT! - Lastly...AND MOST IMPORTANTLY....their communication. When you are putting down money on one of the most expensive things for your house, it is good to have clear and constant communication. Ellison aces this in spades! He is very prompt in his responses...replies with a text and then a phone call. He is communicating everyday to ensure everything is okay and to your satisfaction. When replacing a roof can be such a pain...he put me at ease. read more

Redwood came out promptly, looked at my roof and told me it was a $2500 minimum, saying it would take two people half a day. (Another company later came out and patched it for a fraction of that price - it took one person 20 min). read more

I recommend working with Redwood Roofing for reroofing, which our home insurance agent requested we needed so that we could renew our home insurance policy. We got 5 quotes, of which Redwood Roofing was among the cheapest. They were able to schedule reroofing within 2 weeks, got the work done within 4 days, and were very responsive. I highly recommend them. read more

I would highly recommend Ellison and the Redwood Roofing team. We solicited quotes from five roofing companies in San Francisco for a small clay tile roof replacement project. Redwood Roofing was far and away the most responsive and professional of them all. Our quote from Redwood Roofing--though not the lowest of the quotes we received--was the most detailed, and it gave us confidence their team would show equal attention to detail on the job. Ellison communicated closely with us as the weather forecast changed, and we found a few clear, sunny days for the work to be completed. The team on site was professional, cleaned up thoroughly after themselves, and showed us photos they took throughout the process. It was reassuring to see progress photos from removal of the old roof, weatherproofing and flashing installation, and finally tile installation. Overall, we couldn't be happier with Redwood Roofing's work. I can tell from the progress photos they did a really good job, and our roof looks great. Thanks Ellison and team. read more

When we needed the roof on our Victorian replaced, I contacted Redwood Roofing along with 4 other roofing contractors to obtain bids. Redwood Roofing had the most competitive that included a detailed and clear breakdown of work and cost making the scope of the project crystal clear. While other contractors insisted that scaffolding would be required for the project, Redwood Roofing was creative and came up with a way to place a very long ladder up to our roof saving around $3,000 of expense. Ellison was highly responsive to questions about the bid and I would typically get emails back from him within an hour even on evenings and weekends. I selected them for our project, not only because they had the best bid and the strongest warranty, but because I could sense from our interactions that they took pride in their workmanship and cared about their customers. I could not be any happier with my experience working with them. They sent a large team and were able to complete the work in just a few days. The workers were detail-oriented and meticulous leaving their work area cleaner than they found it. Upon removing the old roof, they discovered a significant amount of dry-rot that needed to be repaired. Most contractors would use this opportunity to jack up the price of the project but they did the opposite. They did the additional repair work at cost to make sure that we did not blow through our budget. We also discovered that we needed some repairs to our gutters and even though this was clearly out of scope for the project, they did the work without asking for additional payment. I have worked with a number of other roofers in the past and there is simply no comparison to my experience with Redwood Roofing. The pride that they showed in their work and their intense customer-focus is truly exceptional. If I ever have another roofing project, I will make only one call and it will be to Redwood Roofing. read more

I would highly recommend working with Redwood Roofing for reroofing. We got 5 quotes, of which Redwood Roofing was the only company who went up on our roof to check it out to give us our quote. They gave us the second cheapest quote out of the 5, were able to schedule reroofing within 2 weeks, rushed the work in time when the rain came, and were very responsive. Would highly recommend them. read more

We've dealt with at least 50+ contractors/company within the past 20 years....I have to say Ellison is one of the most professional/reliable boss there is... He made detailed plan and finished the jobs on time, with very reasonable rate. Highly recommended for any kind of job.... read more

The chimney cap of our house fell off and we got a few guest visitors (yep, pigeons!) down our chimney. We reached out to Redwood and Ellison promptly responded. He came out to visit our place on the day of (!), to provide a confirmed quote, and offered pricing and recommendations on different options and tiering of repairs. Eventually, we got a great quote for not only replacing the chimney cap but the entire chimney including the crown, the cover, etc.! Ellison was able to schedule a follow-up visit with his team within the week and we got a new chimney within a few hours! Throughout the process, Ellison was always reachable, patient, and addressed our questions and concerns promptly! Would definitely call them up again if we ever need roofing-related services! read more

Redwood Roofing - Another top notch roof by Redwood Roofing - Roofing Near Me - San Francisco, California

Mr. Ellison and his team did an excellent job under their roofing contract with us. Given the craziness of the insurance industry and the raining season upon our areas these days, all roofing companies have been so busy with old and new commitments. Ellison was very responsible for his work and followed the recommendations by our insurance and fulfilled his commitments to complete all aspects of the required work within the time frame as agreed upon under the contract. Ellison and his team did not take any short cuts and stayed all the way to ensure his work meets the crazy recommendations demanded by our insurance company. Would like to take this opportunity to express our great appreciation for your excellent work and we would be very happy to be contacted, as needed, to provide great reference to any of your potential clients, Ellison. Anita C. read more

I contacted 4 roofing contractors and decided to go withRedwood Roofing based on yelp reviews and a great initial communicaiton and quoting process with Ellison.

We had a leak in our family room following the massive storms in the Bay Area. I put out an urgent request on Yelp to 5 roofers and Ellison was the first to respond and the only one who came out the same day and helped us get a tarp up until the roof could be fixed. He quickly turned around a competitive estimate and was on the job within days. He brought 7 people to replace a huge chunk of my roof that desperately needed replacing (a flat top extension of the house) and it was done in a day. They fixed dry rot and also kept the rest of my property neat and clean as they worked. Highly recommend! read more

I much appreciated the roof inspection at my residence. Afterwards, I was told that my roof still remains in good condition for five more years or so regardless of the fact that the new roofing was made in 2003. The communication was friendly and pleasant. The inspection charge was very reasonable. Thank you, Ellison. read more

Redwood Roofing is the epitome of efficiency, responsiveness and fair pricing. I originally contacted Redwood Roofing to do a repair job on a roof over a hallway that extended into the light well between my two story building and the neighbor's house. Ellison Ma, the business owner, responded immediately to my request for an estimate, visited the next day at the agreed upon time, and patiently explained the work that needed to be done. He provided an estimate the following day that was reasonable and consistent but less than the other estimate I had received from another highly rated roofing company in San Francisco (and 75% cheaper than the "high profile" roofing company I had originally contacted who would not even provide a warranty on their work!). Once agreed to the work, it was scheduled within three weeks, which was remarkable given the roof repair demands that the current rainy season imposed on Redwood Roofing and other roofing companies. Once the date was set, Redwood Roofing showed up an hour early, much to my pleasant surprise. When the jobbed was done, Ellison Ma took the time to explain the work that had been done. My Property Manager and I asked Redwood Roofing to do a bit more than they had contracted for on an area not part of the light well roof, to which they immediately complied and completed. In short, Redwood Roofing definitely deserves a 5 star rating. read more

Made quite a bit of damage, and don't even care to have them fix it since I do not trust they know how.

Crazy price gouging for a simple roof patch that would take 1-2hrs of work; quoted $2500 for a $500 job.

We had an extremely positive experience with Ellison and his crew. The communication was superb and the crew was efficient and professional. They shocked me by finishing in 3 days! They cleaned up each day thoroughly. I highly recommend Redwood Roofing. read more

We had an extremely positive experience working with Redwood roofing. We need to replace a flat roof and get a few quotes from different companies. Redwood offered the most reasonable pricing with a very detailed plan. Ellison is very patient with all my questions and thinks in our shoes. Ellison and his crew are very efficient. It only took one day to get the entire roof replaced. The team is very experienced, meticulous, and proud of their work. They took care of all the details and finishes, and the new roof seems high quality. I will update the post after the next rainy season. Overall, highly recommend Redwood roofing. read more

Contacted 3 roofing companies for estimates to replace our roof. Redwood roofing's estimate was about 35% lower and the scope of work they were going to do was better than the other roofers. I did not use them because I decided to install Solar and use a company that did roofing and Solar. If I needed just a roof done I would have used Redwood Roofing. read more
