After recently purchasing a home we were informed by our home owners insurance we needed to reroof the house or lose our coverage. I reached out to several roofing companies for bids before we settled on Sharp Roofing. Sharp roofing was easy to schedule with for an estimate and was fairly priced. Additionally all the staff were easy to work with, from the estimator to the scheduler, to the foreman, and the crew. The job was started and completed within the timeframe we were quoted. The job site was cleaned at the end of every day, and care was taken with landscaping. Any questions or concerns we had along the way were addressed quickly and completely. We highly recommend Sharp Roofing. read more

If I could provide "0" stars I would. Like many others here, we also had a terrible experience with Sharp Roofing. Cliff & his company were the subcontractors who installed roofing and the associated venting on a brand new home. My husband & I haven't lived here for more than two years, and mind you it was a new build, and we started experiencing leaks and had damaged dry wall at our top story. The general contractor suspected it was the work of Sharp Roofing so put us in contact with Cliff to complete the work since the roof is under warranty. Cliff and his company did an on site assessment which required a $300 deposit (one we were told would be refunded if Sharp was to not complete the work to fix the issue). Following the initial assessment, It took several phone calls and text messages (and nearly 3 weeks of waiting) to receive any updates from Cliff. When he did finally respond it was to share that the repairs needed had nothing to do with the work his company had completed in the initial build. We requested a refund of our deposit at this time, but heard crickets. The general contractor finally sent another roofing company out to look at the damage and within a day were able to perform the repairs. At this time it was confirmed that the repair was in fact due to work Cliffs company had performed. Not only are we out $300 for the deposit, but also are out several hundred dollars more because of the damage his poor job caused to our house (and not to mention the waiting and stress it has caused). All in all from start to finish, we will have been dealing with this issue for 3 months. I'd really think twice about hiring Sharp Roofing for even the smallest of jobs, or agreeing to partner with him on new builds. He is dishonest, a very poor communicator, and his company does poor quality work. read more

After having Sharp try to fix the roof they put on numerous times we had to move on to repair companies. We have a PVC roof that is fine for most of the installation (the easy part) but anything requiring any thought or materials beyond the roofing is wrong. Edge metal, termination against the clerestory, transition to gutters, pipe boots for plumbing penetrations - all done wrong and have all caused water problems. Every roofer that comes to look at this work shakes their head in disgust. read more

Our condo hired Sharp to fix an awning. And now we get to hire someone to fix Sharp's "work." When Sharp finished, they left a major waterfall over the awning. They "fixed" the waterfall by adding a rail. But they did not add a pitch so that the water would reach the drain. We now have a cesspool that attracts a myriad of bugs. When I contacted them for a fix, Cliff the Roofer said their materials were high quality and they tapped out. Attached is a photo with a bird-eye view of their inadequate job. read more

I have waited 2 years to finish this review because of how livid the experience made me and how long it has taken to try to see things objectively. One star is not low enough. Just be careful you're not sold a bill of goods like we were. To be fair, our finished roof looks good. That is the ONLY good part about working with Sharp Roofing. The small discount they finally offered us was not enough to make up for the lack of delivery on several contractual items, including daily clean up and a toilet for the contractors. Some of the issues we had were likely a one time only thing, which means they won't be helpful to someone looking to use a roofing company. But some of the issues may be a systemic problem in the company. For instance, no one wanted to take responsibility for any of the issues. It was ALWAYS someone else's fault. Ultimately we spent about a whopping $20k to tear off our old roof and install a new one, and with everything that went wrong, they offered us $1500 to compensate. And their reasoning? It was because after the fact, there was an error in estimating and so we supposedly got Sharp's services at a discount to begin with. Convenient, huh? Here's our bulleted list of problems: - Scheduling errors that cost us days off work, no shows and no calls from Sharp. It resulted in promises of HUGE discounts, followed up by a rescinded offer because the person making it wasn't authorized to do so. - Lack of clean up during the 3 day tear off. We literally could not leave the house without handing a baby in a car seat to a roofer to hold and then climbing over shingles and nails. FOR THREE DAYS. - Lack of tarp off every night. It was the summer so we didn't think twice about the oversight until one night at 1am a roofer showed up to tarp it off because it had started raining where he was. We appreciated the effort, but contractually it should have been done every night. Everyone in our neighborhood got to listen to the sound of a staple gun at 1am. - A lack of a honey bucket on site for the workers. Im fairly certain, on a job as big as ours that this one was illegal. - A roofer installing a skylight put his foot through my daughter's ceiling... after we warned him to stand on the joists only. We were so fed up by this point that we opted not to have ANYONE from Sharp fix it, or coordinate fixing it. And the skylights are crooked. I highly suggest going with another company. read more

Terrible experience with Sharp Roofing. Didn't even get a chance to get a proper big from them and they said they came out to our condominium complex however they never sent the estimate/proposal and kept coming up with excuses then never returned phone calls. One of the most unprofessional experiences I've had in some time. Please do not waste your time with them. We ended up going with Redmond Roofing and they were wonderful. read more

We've just had our 3rd leak appear in our new PVC roof from Sharp Roofing. They fixed the other two leaks, and we're waiting for them to fix this one. Unfortunately, many leaks can happen where you don't see them until damage appears months or years later. Because there have now been three leaks, chances are there will be more. As a homeowner, it's upsetting to always be wondering about your roof whenever it rains. We're just waiting for the next leak. Our faith in Sharp Roofing is gone. read more

Tired of kicking buckets full of rain water on my morning warpath to the coffee maker, I decided to bite the bullet. Time for a new roof. I asked my contractor friend about it. He said call Cliff the roofer! I was talking about it with my neighbor. She said Cliff the roofer did her roof. Who is this guy?! So I looked him up, found Sharp Roofing (Cliff's company) and met one of Seattle's famous characters. My roof is sharp, my floors are dry, I feel like I'm more "Seattle" now that I know Cliff, and now the sun's out - so none of it matters. Call Cliff. read more

My wife and I met with several roofers before we chose Sharp Roofing to replace our roof. Of these companies, Sharp's rep impressed us the most. He took the time to really evaluate the roof, explained all the issues, and determined what the best solution would be- which was not the most expensive solution. When the bids came in, their price was very competitive, so it was an easy choice. Now that the work has been completed, I couldn't be more pleased with our choice. Sharp's crew was very efficient, thorough and left our property neat and tidy. I also received great communication throughout the job via emails with pics and explanations of repairs from the job supervisor. The roof itself looks fantastic! Sharp Roofing also has great office support staff--they got the necessary paperwork and details worked-out promptly and professionally. Overall, we were extremely impressed with their service from start to finish. I recommend them to anyone looking for a roofing contractor. read more

Thank you for taking care of my leaky roof! Sharp Roofing came to my house right away! I called about a steady stream of water running into my family room, with 3 pans catching the water they immediately secured a tarp to the roof while we figured the issue and scheduled the fix. The leak has been has been a problem for years on any windy, stormy, rainy day. My roof is now completely repaired, looks great, and no leaks anywhere. Thank you Sharp Roofing, Cliff, and the team. Can't imagine having anyone else on my roof! :) read more

I've had my fare share of awkward and unprofessional experiences with roofers of all varieties. I recently moved to Seattle and found myself in need of some roofing help... I refused to go down the path of randomly selecting a roofing company out of a phone book. A very dear friend of mine referred me to Cliff at Sharp Roofing. His services went above and beyond my wildest expectations. Clean and professional upon arrival, fast working with a great finished product. When I inevitably move in a couple years, I'm going to keep their number. You're welcome future tenants! read more

Jennifer was awesome to work with. Very professional and 5 star service! She answered all my questions and walked me through the process with ease. Thank you! read more

My recent roofing project-- a new build, simple but steep pitches-- was handled very well by Sharp Roofing. From the bid, to the work, to the performance of the final product, it has all been good. The two guys who showed up to do the work were fast and efficient. And while English may not have been their first language, they were friendly and professional. Additionally, this most recent winter has certainly put it to the test! I'm talking about 6" of snow, record rainfalls in the month of February and not a single leak! I would recommend Sharp! read more

They have an answering service telling potential customers to go on their website and fill out A FORM and that "they will be in contact with you", the exact words of the moron that answered my question after I was transfered THREE times. I asked for a roof replacement and he said, "Aw you need a chimney repaired?" How those incompetent people stay in business is beyond any common sense and reasonable explanation, but people needing roof related services should be aware. By the way, the person I referred to earlier, hung up on me in the middle of my question. If you decide to call them anyway, all I can say is good luck. read more

I called Sharp Roofing today and learnt they are out of business. Same phone number is now used by a Roof company called Asset Roofing. Unfortunately they took my deposit back in Mar but had not started the work yet. read more

We hired Sharp to replace the roof on our 113 year old house and it was a big job that they completed admirably and at a good price through all sorts of horrible weather in Dec 2019/Jan & Feb 2020 (yes it took that long). Overall we are happy with the crew and their work. However, the business office is completely non-responsive to providing their workmanship warranty in writing. read more

It would have been SO EASY to pretend I needed a new roof, but it turns out it was just condensation, not a roof leak and the inspection was thorough, the guy was super respectful and professional. When I do need a roof, I'm definitely calling this company. read more

They came over to provide an estimate and inspected the roof, but despite multiple follow ups have not been in touch - either the owner or the gentleman who did the inspection. Very unprofessional. Be careful not to waste your time. read more

My husband and I called Sharp Roofing for an estimate on a total roof replacement on our 4-plex. Dan Gibson met us at the property and promised a call back within a week with a full estimate and recommendation. He not only did not call us back but has not returned our phone calls to him. Would not recommend working with this company - communication is key to any business and it is obviously not their strong suit. read more

Cliff really went above and beyond which is rare in this industry. As a contractor, I know when I've found another quality contractor and Sharp Roofing is certainly one. He not only took the time to view my home inspection report and sent it back to me with detailed notes, but he also advised my roof did need to be replaced. That saved me $50,000. In addition he recommended a simple roof cleaning and recommended several contractors that could do the work for me. This type of honesty is not often seen in the roofing business. read more

Last year Sharp replaced a defective roof, and contract spelled out in detail all steps required in its construction, as recommended by Trinity Roofing consultants, which had made an evaluation of previous rotten roof. Several steps were altered and venting added to compensate for one of the errors. It was not appropriate per manufacturer's specs. Cliff did not provide report and photos of previous roof during tear off as required in written contract. He wanted to be paid without providing release of lien on materials, final bill, or correcting unacceptable changes in construction. My lawyer was not able to obtain co-operation in any of the matters. Cliff was a likable man who appeared very sincere and competent. I am sorry he failed to follow the directions he agreed to follow. I have no explanations for the cascade of errors. It was tragic for both of us. read more

We asked the builder who remodeled our house to provide us with a roof inspection and certification before we purchased our home. Clifford Hurn did this certification and repaired some minor items on the roof and wrote that the roof should be good for another 15 years. We have since had some leak issues and I called several times and the lady told me that someone would call me back. No-one called me back and now I can't even get through to the number. I ended up having to call a different company to make the needed repairs. We will not be using this company in the future. read more

Sharp roofing did my roof about 4 yrs ago, dynamite, I loved working with this company. Cori and Cliff are pro's at there Jobs, Glad I had my roof done by sharp. done in two days, a lot of work and was properly manned up. Thanks Sharp Roofing read more

Cliff is a great guy but there was some gutter work his men kept messing up and only got it right the fourth time. And after spending a good grand on the roof, he recommended me to get a new roof. I would have appreciated that recommendation before. *Edit: Cliff did reach out to me and recognized what went wrong and how he could do it differently. He is committed to providing best customer service and I would definitely give him another shot. read more

I am buying a house with a very questionable cedar shake roof and I had already got two quotes saying the roof was nearing the end of its life. Cliff looked at the roof and said no-way it just needs cleaning and more regular maintenance. Cliff doesn't even do cleaning and could've sold me anything but said I just needed cleaning. Just awesome customer service. read more

Quick follow-up. My neighbor didn't take my advice, and used a different roofer to put on his new roof. Garbage all over my lawn, broken gutters on his house, and 2 nails in my tires... and his roof doesn't look nearly as well done. Sharp roofing is even more impressive when you compare it to the other options out there. read more

My recent experience with Sharp Roofing prompted a written testimonial. Cliff Hurn came to my home to measure my house for new gutters. He provided options to help protect the integrity of my home as well as my bank account. The crew arrived on time on the day they promised despite horrible weather. They were both efficient and professional. And most of the work was completed during a monsoon. Its good to know there are still contractors who live up to their promises and make a habit out of exceeding expectations. Thankfully my house does not need a new roof. But when it does, I'll be calling Cliff and his team at Sharp Roofing. read more

Disclaimer - did not receive service from Sharp. I contacted them about a week ago via Yelp asking for a roof inspection for a house I am buying. I was on a one week clock due to an expiring inspection contingency and noted this in the message. Cliff replied promptly (within 20 minutes) saying he could help, and to please email him my home inspection report. I emailed and then messaged him again on Yelp to let him know I had sent an email. Never received a response to the email or the Yelp message. I called the next morning, left a voicemail, never heard back. Thankfully we found another company able to do the inspection on short notice. Many other roofers also never returned my phone calls, so it wouldn't have been noteworthy if Sharp hadn't replied to my initial message to say they could help us. It was this initial contact and then complete lack of follow up that prompted me to write this. Leaving us hanging when we were under time pressure was not appreciated - thankfully my wife thought to keep calling other companies even while I was stressing out waiting for a response. Edited 10/12 - I went back and forth with Cliff after he saw my review and he apologized for missing my follow-up communication. There was some confusion regarding another Steve F with a similar situation to mine (emailed inspection report) only a month before and so he thought he'd already replied to me. Definitely an unfortunate coincidence! read more

I needed a roof certification for a refinance on short notice, so I was very pleased when Sharp agreed to come out and look at the house the same day I called (Monday). I was confused when I didn't hear anything afterward, so the next day I called them and got voice mail. I left a message asking about the state of my roof. I didn't get any response. Since I was still on a deadline, I got progressively more anxious, so I called two or three times a day for several days, never getting any response. On Thursday, I finally got a terse e-mail saying that the roof was not in any shape to certify. I had to use virtually my entire available time harassing these people into my one-sentence answer. Unreal. read more

I found Sharp Roofing right her on Yelp & called them based on their good reviews. I am a new homeowner and during the inspection, it was recommended that the roof needed proper ventilation, so I called Cliff w/Sharp. They were responsive and got the job done in a timely, affordable manner. There was a problem with the vent placements (for me, I didn't like where they were placed) and they fixed the problem w/out charging me extra which I really appreciated. The lesson I learned through this process (having never even thought about roof vents before! ;-) was that I should have asked where exactly on the roof the vents would be placed. I would recommend Sharp Roofing & would use them again! Thanks Cliff! read more

Some trouble with the office staff organizing deliveries, so this delayed the 3 workers but did not add to the cost. The workers themselves were excellent. We are very pleased with the roof and have had several compliments from neighbors. read more

Competitve bid. Efficient and considerate crew. (Beat a competing roof company that was working on a similar size house in our neighborhood by a couple of days with a lot less mess!) Roof and gutters look and perform awesome! read more

I just had my second experience with Sharp Roofing and they were equally as great the second time around. Cliff came out to do a roof inspection for a real estate client of mine. He was prompt and helpful, and explained everything in great detail. We were very satisfied with the level of service provided and won't hesitate to contact Sharp again in the future. read more

Sharp Roofing did a PVC application on our home's flat roof. The new roof looks very nice and, the application appears to be professional. Our issue is with communication. Our all-Hispanic crew was courteous and skilled, however we were never quite certain that our instructions were understood. That led to a few misunderstandings. We would use Sharp Roofing again with one important caveat - before a contract was signed, we would insist that a clause be added. That clause would obligate Sharp Roofing to have an English-speaking worker/supervisor present anytime one or more of their employees or a subcontractors's employees were onsite. By English-speaking, I mean someone who speaks English as a first language. I don't mean to sound xenophobic or in any way disparage Hispanic workers; we've had several Hispanic work crews at the house over the years and we've always been impressed by their work ethic and their attention to quality. If an American company doing business in America can't or won't supply at least one worker/supervisor who's native language is English, I strongly suggest you look elsewhere. read more

I was prepping to sell my home that had a 16 year old cedar shake roof and was given Sharp Roofing's information by my realtor. I was seeking an inspection to understand the state of the roof, whether there was any remaining life to it, and to verify no leaking had occurred. The owner of the company responded promptly to my inquiry and offered to come out and visit my home the same day and he provided a detailed report with images a few days after. A few weeks later at my request, Sharp was able to provide a roofing certificate to aid in our sale. I have been pleased by Sharp's responsiveness and level of detail. I'd happily use them again and recommend them. read more

I am selling my house and the buyer was interested in the condition of the roof, given it is an older house. Cliff was able to fit in an inspection during this busy season with very short notice. He was thorough and very nice to work with. I highly recommend Sharp Roofing, especially for inspections as few others are willing to do them. read more

I had a little confusion and miscommunication at first, but the owner stepped in and straightened everything out. They do great work and pricing is competitive! read more

Interesting that the most of the reviews were positive except for the two most recent. I also have a negative review. I wonder if something has changed at the company. Sharp was actually a few hundred $$ higher than the other bids I received but they said they could get started sooner so I went with them. I recognize all contractors are very busy now so was willing to wait the six weeks for them to start. The day before they were to start I contacted them and was told they would be a few days late as they couldn't get materials delivered in time. I signed a contract and made a deposit six weeks prior so I think that was a weak excuse but was willing to overlook it. However, when they did show up they took forever to finish the job. They worked two partial days then didn't show for a day. Then showed up for another partial day. I asked their super when they would finish and he assured me they would finish that day. When they left without finishing I call him and he said they had the wrong flashing and had to order it. It was a stock flashing but they didn't get it for four days. Then when they finally showed up they didn't finish as the super said they ran out of flashing. When I asked the super how they managed to stay in business being so disorganized, his sarcastic reply was "Guess we are just lucky". I know they were busy with other jobs and if they would have been honest and just told me that i would have accepted it. But the super lied several times which I find inexcusable. Product is fine, service sucks. read more

These guys did my roof in 2015, and put in a skylight. I was very happy with the process. Good, hassle free. Nice guys.

I specifically joined Yelp so I could write this review and hope that no one else experiences what I did with Cliff and Sharp Roofing. We recently bought a home, and a major sticking point was that we wanted to roof inspected to make sure it wasn't at the end of it's life, had no leaks or work needed to done. The sellers hired Cliff and Sharp Roofing to "treat" the roof and they certified the roof had at minimum 5 years of life, however they thought it had more like 10 years left. Additionally, they said there were no major items needing attention. Before moving in we had a little work done the house. Our workers discovered there was a leak in the ceiling just three weeks after Cliff's company checked the roof, and only after a week of our workers starting on the project. I called Cliff to inquire why a roof would be certified that it was in good shape with no repairs needed, when in fact it was quite the opposite. Cliff, as during all my interactions with him, was extremely rude about the matter and kept saying his certificate was not a "guarantee or warranty". I then questioned what exactly is the certificate then if it doesn't cover what it says, and all he kept saying was it wasn't a guarantee or warranty. Cliff finally agreed to send his workers out of Thursday, April 24th to check the work. Cliff's workers did show up on April 24th to check the roof, and I explained I would like a thorough check as they clearly missed a leak the first time they check the roof. They were up there for a brief period of time, and then came down near my contract workers to discuss what they saw. My contract workers explained to me they overheard Cliff's workers saying "lets just tell this guy it's moisture so we can get out of here". Sure enough that is what they told me and you could tell they were trying to leave the situation. I then called Cliff, while upset, and said I would like for him to come and check the roof personally. During this phone call Cliff and I agreed for a meeting on Sunday, April 27th. Sunday, April 27th came and went as Cliff completely blew me off for the appointment. He never called or texted me to ask if we could reschedule, he just flat out never showed. I tried calling him several times as well texting, no response what so ever. Finally Sunday night came and Cliff just texted me we will meet Monday morning, not apologizing really. When we finally met on Monday, Cliff's demeanor was very cold, he was extremely short and rude with me. He did not treat me whatsoever like a client, rather an inconvenience. After he did check the roof himself he tried to tell me it was the skylight leaking which doesn't fall under their responsibility. He said he would get me a quote from someone who could fix the roof, this was the last time I would hear from Cliff. For the next (8) days I kept calling, texting and trying to get a hold of Cliff with no luck. He completely blew me, never sent a quote or helped me find someone who could fix the leak. I finally got another roofing company to come out and look at the roof on May 8th. Within no less than five minutes they found the leak which was in fact in the roof, not the skylight like Cliff tried to pass off. They said it was an easy fix under shingles, and said Cliff's company hands down should have been able to catch the leak had they just taken the time to look. I really hope no one ever has to go through an experience working with Cliff like I did. His company doesn't stand by their work, tried to lie about the actual problem to "get rid of me", tried to lie about where the leak was in a skylight to not be held responsible, is completely unresponsive, acts rude towards customers, lacks followup and attention to detail and flat out they act like they don't care. Because of my situation my real estate agent has told her company if they need a roof certified or have work done to avoid using Sharp Roofing as it could hinder a sale. If you have other companies available to you I would highly suggest doing this so you don't question if the work was done right in the first place by Sharp Roofing. Cliff's lack of attention to detail during the home purchase cost me $1,100 and I am currently speaking with my lawyer about small claims court possibilities. Cliff also mentions in response to this that I was not a client. I was a home buyer, & I asked that the seller hire a roofing company on our behalf to certify the roof so we knew it didn't need replacing right away. Thus, I was a client as the seller & I were working together on a deal that involved the expertise of Cliff. Furthermore Cliff's company certified our roof saying it had a minimum 5 years left, however they thought we would get 10 out of it. We have now lived in the house less than a year and another leak has happened near the same area. Other roofing companies who have looked at our roof say it needs a full replacement, quite a different assessment than Cliff's. read more
