After the recent storms, I noticed a small leak in the ceiling with light water stains. It wasn't actually dripping down to the floor but I wanted it checked out sooner than later. I reached out to several roofers on Yelp for quotes and sent a picture. Tom from Roof-Life Construction responded back shortly. I called him Friday morning his son, Max, came out a few hours later. Max came out, hopped up on the roof, and found a few slipped and cracked tiles. He actually showed me photos of the underlayment, which was looking pretty rough and worn out. He even sealed a few spots on the spot just to hold me over, which I really appreciated. The quote was very fair and reasonable, so we went for it. His crew showed up early the next morning and knocked out the repairs and new underlayment in about two and a half hours. They were total pros, very thorough, and showed me some before-and-after pics so I could see exactly what they did. All in all a great job! and very professional. I'm very thankful his team was able to come out on short notice and fix my roof before the rain a few days later. I highly recommend Roof-Life Construction for any roof related work!! read more

It was real pleasure to use Roof life for our roof replacement very recently. I am glad that I selected Roof-Life after doing my research and getting multiple quotes. Tom is very responsive and made sure he and his crew (Max / Sergio) answered all questions satisfactorily. It was nice of them to promise to provide any service if we see any issues or do any remodeling where roofing is involved. Tom was very transparent about the cost including two skylights (customized), other repairs and there was no hidden cost. I am very happy with the quality of work. post work cleanups including nails and costs and recommend that you at least talk and get quotes from them. Thanks Tom, Max and crew !! read more

Thank you Max for a fast and great job on our roof!!! We appreciate that you also gave us advice on how to prevent future mishaps. Until next time!!! read more

I recently used Roof-Life to reroof my house and was very pleased with all aspects of the work and our experience with the company. The roofing job was fairly complex in that it consisted of the replacement of a 48 year old cement tile, skip-sheeted roof with a modern CertainTeed Presidential TL shingles roof. There was a great deal of wood work required for 2x8 fascia I wanted installed around all the eve's to hide the dental effect of the exposed struts which remained after I had cut off the rotted ends years earlier. Also all the skip sheeting had to be covered by osb and plywood, which effectively gave me a new roof. I got a total of 8 proposals for this work and wasn't satisfied with any of them. Mainly, none of them were willing to to give me the roof design I wanted and instead proposed lesser designs/work for the same or more cost than Roof-Lifes quote (and final cost). In setting up the job, I dealt with the owner, Tom Rhoades. He is very knowledgeable with all aspects of roofs and was very personable and accommodation throuout the project. I always like to do my own painting and wanted to paint all the new fascia and exposed plywood myself. Tom recommended and let me paint the new fascia board on the ground before they were installed thus saving me the increased work and risk of me painting them after installation. Tom's son, Max, is Tom's Construction Superintendent and it was obvious to me that he inherited his dad's great work ethics and roofing knowledge. He did a great job of dealing with us often and overseeing all the work. Initially he walked the job with me and came up with a great final design, which he had installed by his crew exactly as he initially proposed it. He was great to work with! Finally, the crew they used for this work went away beyond all me expectations. The crew consisted of only a lead installer and his helper, and completed the project in 10 days. The lead installer was a master craftsman in carpentry and roofing installation. I'm a retired chemical and mechanical engineer, who has let out and administers hundreds of projects over my 40 + year career and I can honestly say that these craftsmen were as good as any, in any discipline, I've ever seen. I would recommend Roof-Life Construction to anyone needing any kind of roofing work done. read more

I want to add more plaudits to my previous very favorable review of Roof-Life. Through no fault of theirs, we had an issue with an attic exhaust fan that was replaced during their reroofing. Roof-Life was as responsive and friendly as if we were a new customer. There was no additional payment to them, but they took care of the problem quickly and expertly. If I had another roof job, it would unquestionably be Roof-Life. read more

I live in Dublin, CA and have been partnering with Tom for over a decade. That's when Tom did my roof. Since then, I've referred Roof - Life Construction to many happy customers over the years. I am also a small business owner and found Roof - Life Construction to be as good as any roofer in the business. Zero complaints from customers after, but many comments regarding the quality and value of both experienced skilled labor and tight communication. I'm proud to be associated with these guys and look forward to referring a lot more families to the best roofing experience in the Tr--Valley area. read more

This is a great company to get roofing done. Owner owned and operated means reliable and quick communication, and a great experienced crew that are masters of their craft. Max came promptly to survey the roof and give estimate. Tom, the owner, is responsive and best of all accommodated my timeline to get roofing done so that my solar install can stay on schedule. They were contacted in mid October for an install as soon as possible. They were booked solid through the year end but they committed to a timeline, even with the rainy weather that ate up lot of days, and delivered. This means the entire process from contacting them to getting the project done in an extremely busy time for all roofing contractors and in spite of bad weather took little over a month. Sergio and crew did a fantastic job putting the new roof, it looks spectacular. They had the best pricing out of all the quotes I gathered. Very happy with the results. Highly recommended. read more

Tom and Max are very easy to work with. though Tom was not onsite, but he calls in often to answer questions. Max was able to coordinate onsite works, and explain all questions. read more

It only allows you to get five stars, or I would give them more. Great customer service Family business Stuck to a timeline Attention to detail They had to coordinate having my solar taken off and reinstalled along with doing my roof and gutters. Had a great feeling about this company from the first point of contact. read more

Tom and his son Max were superb. The work done was professional with exceptional communication. The recommendations and education Tom offered was rewarding and insightful. They have supported my wife and I with a more beautiful house with a structurally safe and good looking roof. The value was rewarding compared to other places in the bay area. Max even went out of his way to come back after the painter painted the house to fix dripping from the gutter with caulking. Truly amazing. Highly recommend their expertise and service. read more

We knew we needed a new roof and were waiting for spring/summer to get the work done instead of during the rainy season. Tom and Max were great at coming out to our house in a timely manner, explaining the types of roofs, and even looked into solar shingles for us since we were interested in it. They communicated very well and added us to their schedule and made sure to clean up each day (for example they used a metal detector to pick up stray nails in the yard). They pulled the permits and made sure our roof passed final inspection. We had a total of 4 roof bids and are glad to have gone with Roof Life. read more

I highly recommend this construction company for anything roof related. The nicest people in the construction business that I've ever met. Tom and his crew are the best. They respond right away, came and check my roof then gave their honest opinion. Thanks Roof Life, God bless you all. read more

We just completed a large project by Roof-Life construction and could not be happier with both the results and the process. We took bids from a number of folks and had a range of bids. Roof-Life was competitive among the many folks we spoke with, but notably were more up front with a number of itemized details that others didn't dig into. The owners son, Max came out to provide an estimate and laid out the details on the process, the products I could choose from and the pro's and cons of all options along with the importance of things like venting, flashing, how to deal with my many skylights and their approach to the broader solution given the unique circumstance to my project. More notably, I wanted to combine a few fixes to a poor design to an existing addition done by a previous owner that didn't allow for great drainage along with the addition of a new gabled entry to the front of our home. This is where Tom (the owner) really was a huge help given his flexibility to work with me and another contractor who would do that portion of the project. We had some late spring rain that caused some delay's - but Tom worked with my other contractor to ensure nothing would be rushed and we'd schedule his crew to do a tear off and installation of all new OSB boards once we had a safe weather window to begin the work that would allow a pause in the middle for my other contractor to make the desired design changes followed by the final roof install as a follow up. Sergio, the lead roofer and project foreman was an amazing craftsman who took great pride in his work and kept a clear and clean job site. He took great care to talk me through every step and pointed out any area of concern that would require fixes due to rot. There was multiple roofs layered on my home and a good bit in need of repair - but he made sure to explain and clearly point to all the issues to make certain that I was always clear on the "what, the why, and the how they would address. As my tandem carpentry effort was under way, there became a very minor 10% chance of rain. Tom didn't want to take any risks, so he sent Sergio to paper over everything for even the smallest chance of a weather event that had the potential to rain on my exposed home. As the project wrapped, Max and Sergio both did multiple walk throughs to make sure any open concerns were addressed, all nails and debris were removed and even scheduled work to be finalized on some last minute fixes to skylights that needed to be replaced while I was away on vacation at the close of the project. In the end, I would recommend Tom, Max and their crews at Roof-Life with zero hesitation. They delivered on everything they promised up front and were REALLY easy and flexible to work with given a commitment to clear and continuous communication, fair, and competitive pricing, and truly excellent craftsmanship. read more

Excellent company. Tom and his people quickly responded to my request for repair of a section of my roof. The estimate was more than fair and the quality of work was well worth it. I would certainly use them again. read more

Strongly recommend roof-life! We worked with Tom and Max to replace our roof in our house we had recently moved in 18 months ago. Could not have asked for a better team. Clearly exceeded our expectations in every way. Prompt, competent, expert, value, and a great customer services even after the construction completed. read more

I had a few quotes set up for my mother in law's house. Roof-life was able to give us a quote within days of my initial call to them. Other companies were weeks out. During and after our our meeting, my mother in law and I felt very confident in Roof-life. Everything was explained about the process, combination of products and prices. We canceled the other appointments with the other companies and went with Roof-life. All the workers were great! Different teams performed their specific jobs and worked every day until the roof was completed! Definitely recommend Roof-life! read more

Called these folks one early morning in December after my roof started leaking. Since there was no return call by 3pm, I called again and was told, we'll get back to you soon. It is now February and they never returned my call. Completely unacceptable!! read more

After meeting with my plumber it was concluded that my roof was the culprit to my water leak. Roof Life Construction had worked on my parents' property in the past and came with an excellent recommendation. Tom responded immediately and he and Max came over within 48 hours of me finding a leak in the garage and started repairs the next day. They were on time, professional, provided clear communication and was a pleasure to work with. After the roof was repaired they supplied pictures showing me how they repaired my roof which was much appreciated because I am not climbing that high roof. Roof Life Construction comes HIGHLY recommended and will be the only roofers I will contact moving forward. read more

Quick estimate offered after inspection. Work completed promptly and invoice matched estimate.

My mother-in-law had what we assumed was a roof leak. A friend referred Max from Roof-Life Construction. He met me later that day, quickly diagnosed the problem - not a roof issue, but a drainage issue. In fact, there was still standing water on the roof. While Max was on the roof, he determined that the main drain as clogged, and the emergency drain was covered. He removed the debris covering the emergency drain, resolving the standing water issue until we could have a plumber come to provide a more permanent solution for the main drain. Much to my chagrin, Max refused any form of payment, but I have his number for the next time we have a roof issue. read more

Excellent Customer Service ! Friendly and Helpful, Indeed other businesses of this trade could take a lesson of the high professionalism and courtesy, That Mr. Tom Roads and his Son Mr. Max Roads, will provide to you ! read more

Tom didn't want to give an estimate. Came up with an excuse instead of just being straight forward. Considering the reviews I find it disappointing. read more

Tom is the man! I was playing with my kids when I noticed a small crack in our wall in the playroom. My eyes went up from the crack and I noticed what looked like water damage where our ceiling meets our wall. There were some other areas as well, so I quickly called Tom and he came out within an hour on a Sunday(!!). I've dealt with other roofing companies before and this was a huge surprise. Usually there's at least a couple of days wait required, if not a week+. Turns out it was just some not so great paint work by our painters and is absolutely not water damage. Tom was completely professional and gracious in coming out on a whim on his day off. What else can be said? Highly recommended! read more

This company is A-1 professional!! I would give them 10 stars if I could! Tom possess the expertise and knowledge about all types of roofing. Normally, I would get several quotes, but not this time! Right after I spoke with Tom, I told my wife that I wanted his company to do our roof. His team came in and did a quality job. They also repaired a few things that I requested. They left my property spotless after finishing. My roof looks great. He is also Diamond Certified so if you want a licensed professional to provide an expert job this is the company to call!! I am not a relative or friend and did not even know Tom until my realtor recommended his company! read more

I can't say enough good things about Roof-Life. Tom, Max and the entire installation team made the process of having a new roof installed as painless as possible. Every person I interacted with from the company was friendly, courteous, responsive and professional. It's not easy to have the roof taken off your home and replaced, but our family trusted Roof-Life to do the job well and we were not disappointed. If you need a new roof, hire Roof-Life. You won't be disappointed. read more

Tom was very quick to answer my call and to come out to my home to look at a leak we have. We have had 2 other well known roofing companies come out over the last year and a half, charge us to fix something, and when the rain comes back, so does the leak. Tom came out, thoroughly inspected the roof and area of concern, made a recommendation to correct the faulty design of where water run off drains to and made the repairs the same day. I tried to pay him for his service but he insists that he wants to monitor it when it rains, make sure the problem is corrected and once we are sure, we can take care of the payment. Who does that anymore? Companies are so quick to get paid, and a lot of times they get paid for a service that wasn't done right. Thank you Tom for showing your customers that you really do stand behind your work! read more

I called on Roof-Life for repairs requested by my insurance, it was very simple to schedule the appointment. Since the shingles need to be replaced and Tom being an expert he is with roofing for past so many decades, the job was done very professionally and promptly. He did educate me on basic roofing science and had great conversation, I highly recommend Roof-Life to my friends. RAJ read more

Nobody wants to have to call a roofer, 'cause it's no fun to have a leak and you just know your wallet will be lighter. HOWEVER, when you do find yourself in need of a leak repaired or to have your 3 story gutters cleaned, Roof-Life is the place to call. After our last heavy rain storm about two weeks ago, we noticed moisture around our fireplace. Mind you, this was about a week after a different roofer had charged us $450 for a temporary fix that he claimed would last 2-3 years. Well he and I must have a very different sense of time, because it lasted not at all. In a panic, I called my insurance company, who put me in touch with Tom Rhodes. What a difference! He was very busy because of all the rain, but he still got back to me within 48 hours. He came out and identified the problem on a Thursday, and by Monday morning he and his crew were on it. They were fast, efficient, cleaned up after themselves, and best of all, Tom (the owner) stayed there the entire time. You don't see that too often. Also, the price was reasonable. Tom also took photos of the work he had done, and his proposal reflected exactly what work would be performed. I highly recommend this company. read more

Tom provides excellent customer service. We noticed a leak late on a Saturday. I saw in earlier Yelp reviews that Tom responds very quickly so I left a message. I figured i would get a call back Monday. He sent me a text by 9pm on Saturday night and we scheduled time for him to come inspect it on Sunday morning. Tom arrived right on time and provided a very fair estimate. After the rain stopped and it dried, he came back and completed the repair. Tom also called back after the next rain to check in an confirmed the leak was stopped. Thank you Tom! read more

Back in January we decided to go solar and selected a contractor, but we first needed to get our old tile roof replaced. Our solar contractor recommended Roof-Life construction. I got a few different estimates and I liked how Roof-Life got back to me with an estimate relatively quickly and it was slightly less than the other estimate I got. Also Tom seemed very nice and personable. Things were pretty crazy at the time with all the frequent rains and some roofers weren't even getting back to me. We set up a time in the spring for the work to be done. Unfortunately the install date was pushed back a few times, but that was happening everywhere due to frequent rains. Finally an install date opened up early. The crew was on-time and very courteous as well. The install turned out great! I also liked how mid-install I was able to chat with Tom and the crew to add a couple vents above the garage for extra ventilation. A gutter along the garage was accidentally bent, but the crew made things right and informed me and then installed a new one. All in all we had a very good experience and would recommend this roofing company. read more

Great customer service from Tom and his son. Very responsive and kept me up to date on the project status. Very happy with the final finished product, and his team very good about cleaning up after everything was done. Highly recommended to anyone needing a new roof and/or repairs. read more

Update: Within a minute of posting this review, i get a call from Tom saying he has family emergency and that's why he couldn't get back to me. Again, i understand but someone from his office could have said that. But right after that he starts complaining that I was pushing him last year to go up on my roof when he had some health issues. Completely false, i asked him if he can come, he said yes and then didnt turn up and said he had health issues. I still went back to him this year just because he had a valid health issue, But after the rude call from him today, i guess i should have not. Tom: be transparent to your customers and tell them upfront if you cannot take new work or cannot respond rather than calling the minute you get a 1 star review So i called Tom last year for a broken gutter and some small part of my roof on the side hanging down and he said he can come by fix it Friday. I took the day off but come Friday he didn't show up. When I messaged him he told me he was undergoing recovery and would be out another week, and this was not something which had come up since we scheduled the appointment, it was before that. He had thought he would be fine by our appointment but that didn't happen which i completely understand and gave him the benefit of the doubt. Fast forward to last week when we saw a small leak in our roof. I called his office last Thursday and they told me someone will call back to schedule an appointment. When no one called back I texted Tom and he replied a day later saying he was out of town and will schedule something when he is back on Sunday. I called his office again on Monday afternoon and they said the same thing: someone will call to schedule an appointment. Sent him a text as well and didn't hear back at all. I don't know about the other 5 star reviews on here but my experience dealing with him so far has been subpar, Tom or his office doesn't even extend the basic courtesy to call back and schedule an appointment or just call back and say that they cannot accommodate me for whatever reasons they have. read more

I called them to check out a roof leak. His voicemail said he was extremely busy but to leave a message. That was 3 weeks ago. No call back or even a courtesy message to say they would be unable to see us in a timely manner. Get an answering service. Update- owner contacted me quickly via yelp to resolve concern. I already have other roofer scheduled to fix roof. read more

We recently had our roof replaced by Roof-Life Construction. Our good friend Mike referred us to Roof-Life Construction. We're glad we used them. Both Tom and Max and his roofing crew are very professional, friendly and conscientious. They cleaned up every night after working. After I contacted Tom, his son Max came out and gave us an estimate and explained what the process would be. Because of the unexpected May rains, there was a delay in the original start date, but that was due to Mother Nature. However, once they started the job, they were able to complete it quickly. If I had any questions or concerns, it was very easy to contact Tom and he would respond very quickly. I highly recommend them if you need a new roof. read more

I could not get a call-back after leaving my information with what appeared to be an answering service. Had to look for another company while the roof leaked during a recent downpour. My business gets swamped too, so I get it, but a call-back is standard courtesy and I write this review a good 3 days later. read more
