Joe was highly professional in his communication and kept me informed during the whole process. I had done an extensive background check as well as looked at his prior work around my area and felt confident that he would do a great job. He was quick to respond to my concerns and finished in the time he promised. I have also given his name to friends as well and they are pleased with their roofs. I recently had a house fumigated and which the termite company came out and damage my roof vent..I spoke with Joe and he was happy to inspect the roof for damages to put my mind at easy. He repaired the damage in a timely matter.Truely above and beyond great customer service. read more

Nearly two years later, the roof still looks great and is leak-free, which is fantastic! We've also benefited from a significant year-round reduction in the house's temperature. I recently had a ventilation fan installed in my bathroom. Once the wiring and fan were in place, Joe came by to install a TPO vent. He also gave me valuable tips for cleaning TPO roofing and pointed out fascia board corners needing touch-up paint. I was really impressed with his enthusiasm, customer service, and genuine passion for roofing. For any roofing needs you might have, I wholeheartedly recommend Joe and his team. It'a a great value for your investment. read more

Shulman Roofing - Roofing Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

An army of guys came the first day to remove old shingles, stomping and pounding like an army, yet only one man showed up the following days to shingle entire roof. Unfortunately , they never bothered to tell me to put plastic over all my belongings inside the garage -- it was a mess which no one ever came back as promised to clean up. Nails all over my driveway, yard, and inside garage for my dogs to step on--2 years later I am still finding them! Spoke to owner on the phone about disconnected heating vent in the attic a month later, but he denied it was his guys (even though he was never there while they worked.) Would not return to fix! Very disappointed that I had to pay a separate handyman to come and mitigate all these issues. Shoddy. read more

With any large construction job, there will be positives and negatives. The positives with Joe Schulman were that the actual shingle roof came out very nicely. Joe fabricated some flashing to go around a skylight and the chimney, and did good work. The negatives were the work leading up to the roofing. I had a fair bit of termite damage and many boards needed to be replaced. He kept saying that he would have a better idea of what would be needed, but that day never really came. It just compounded day after day, there was always more that needed to be done. An original quote of 32K ballooned to 55K and would have kept going, but I finally said enough. The cost was for high-end work, but the actual work was mediocre. There was not a great attention to detail, and the materials used were not of great quality. There was gaps in the fascia that he told me to just fill in with caulking. My complaint about my garage door opener, which worked before they got there, but not after they left, was dismissed. I found that one of my pygmy palm's trunk had been broken during the process. There is a wavy fascia board that they installed. The drip flashing was scratched down to the metal during installation and would surely rust if I hadn't seen it. In the end, I guess it comes down to this: Would I recommend this company to a friend? and unfortunately the answer would be "no" if it involved anything other than simply re-shingling. read more

I called to inquire about an estimate and a rude representative answered the phone and did not want to assist.

They did a great job replacing our 31 year old GAF roof (still in good condition)....going solar so it was time to replace it. Joe came out to inspect to make sure the everything was to our satisfaction. read more

Scheduled an appointment. Jo arrived at one of the gates which was not functional. I directed him to the other gate. He disappeared, stopped answering my 8 calls, never called me back. Unreliable. read more

They did my roof 10 years ago. Offered the best warranty I could find & at a competitive price. During the heaviest rains we've had in years last December I had a roof leak. Not only did I get a response the same day they squeezed me in to do the repair within a few days. Note the leak was not due to their work but from electricians when they replaced the post on the roof that connects lines from power line to the house. So impressed with their work they get 5 stars from me. read more

We needed a repair on an improperly installed six-year-old roof, which had resulted in rotted eaves and leaks here and there. Truth is, we knew we needed the repair for a long time, but few things strike fear in our hearts more than dealing with contractors, so we put it off far longer than we should have. After an exhaustive search and countless unreturned phone calls to other contractors (who knew it would be so difficult to get a roofer to call back?), I contacted Shulman. While it DID take a week or so to get a return call (though honestly, I suspect they called back far sooner than I think they did, without leaving a message), once scheduled to come out and estimate the roof, Joe arrived as promised, explained my problem in depth, and gave me a reasonable estimate. (One earlier contractor was going to charge literally four times Shulman's quote; another's quote was so low that I felt I could reasonably anticipate either an abandoned project or a roof as bad as the one originally installed.) Once I decided to go with Shulman, Joe came back by with a contract for me to sign and, when I asked about a deposit, told me that wasn't necessary (unheard of, in my experience!); I can't say that's a routine occurrence, but I was pleasantly surprised - I was prepared to write a check, but it went toward his integrity, and established early trust. Throughout the process, Joe was accessible, returned my calls within minutes, answered all of my silly questions, took the time to get a permit at my request (even though it wasn't really needed, but I wanted to avoid potential trouble with the city later), and, when my job had to be pushed back due to a problem with a bigger job his crew was already working, notified me well in advance to make sure it was okay to delay. Once the job was started, his crew showed up on time and finished the entire job in a single day. After they left, you wouldn't have even known they were here, the cleanup was so thorough. I can't recommend them highly enough; during busy season it may take a week or so to get a contractor out to quote the job, but once things start moving, I can't imagine a simpler, more straightforward process. I am extremely pleased with not only the work they did, but with the fact that they made the experience not only painless, but actually PLEASANT. read more

Contracted with Joe Shulman to add slope to a flat roofed garage and reroof the house. He replaced fascia and re-sided garage. Beautiful work, very pleased with the job he did. He is mindful of his customer and communicates frequently. I highly recommend Shulman Roofing. Kathryn S. In Fullerton read more

We had a very positive experience with Shulman Roofing. Every aspect of our roof replacement project was trouble free. Joe Shulman communicated clearly and promptly what would be done throughout and executed accordingly. All work was completed on schedule and with care. I could go into a lot of detail on the specifics but the bottom line is that we got a quality product at a competitive price, (we obtained 4 estimates) and are exceedingly happy that we chose Shulman Roofing. I would definitely use them again and can recommend this company as trustworthy and a good choice for anyone needing roof repair or replacement. read more

We needed a new roof and talked to various companies for several weeks. Not that I'm over critical, but with an expense of a roof replacement, you want to be a bit selective. Thankfully, we went with Joe Shulman from Shulman Roofing. Joe's crew? The demo guys were friendly, fast, and On Time. To say the least, they left my yard super clean too. His roofing crew? Just as diligent as the demo guys. From my perspective, I would say if they did more than roofs, I would hire them in a minute. As far as Joe, I would say he is super honest, wants to please his customers the best to his ability, and was always willing to work with us and our requests. If your looking for a roofer, go with Shulman Roofing. It will be the best decision you can make... read more

First off, this is not a review for work performed as work was not arranged. I was very disappointed in the quotation process, which was only done by phone and not in person, and the quotation was to replace an entire section of roof for a small leak. The costs were extremely high, nearly 5 times what it actually cost me to have the repair completed by another company. The recommended work was drastically more than what was actually necessary, and there wasn't a way to know the scope of work since there was not a physical inspection of the roof leak beforehand. read more

We needed our old shingle roof removed, replace dry rotted wood and re-roof with new high definition shingles on our 1,200 sqft, single story home. We called Joe for a quote and he arrived right on time, was clean and was very pleasant to talk with. We received several other quotes; his was right in the middle of them all. Ultimately we went with Shulman Roofing because of how thorough Joe was. He not only explained every step of the process but also provided a brief slideshow of photos reinforcing their procedure and gave details of the materials used. We were getting the more from his company than the others were going to do since his was also going to add a ridge line ventilation system. Joe noticed specifics about our house that no one else pointed out. He found that our home had many large exhaust vent openings through the attic - more than normal for our 1,200 sqft home. We confirmed that the water heater had long since been moved to the garage, leaving the unused pipe still in place. Joe said he will have it removed to help eliminate that entry point which could cause leaks later on. He also inquired about our exhaust vents in the bathrooms since our house never had any installed. He suggested that a vent be installed for the existing bathroom fan (which just blows into the attic and not out through the roof) and also adding one over the other bathroom since we're planning to add a bathroom fan in the future. This way the vents can be properly installed and sealed now with no worry of having to open up the roof in the future. We liked the fact that he took was taking the time to not only see what we need now but what could be needed later. His quote had offered two prices - the difference depended on which shingle type we preferred. (We opted to go with the high definition.) Joe had an opening the very next week, so we scheduled it for the following Monday. The crew that was sub-hired to remove the old roof worked quickly and was done on Monday before noon. They did a great job at leaving practically no debris on the property (anything left was just small wood pieces or nails that fell hidden in the planters.) The wood repairs were done that afternoon and then the roof was loaded with new material. Tuesday morning the city inspector performed the initial inspection and over that day, Wednesday and into Thursday evening the new roof was installed. By Friday morning the city inspector came back to complete the final review. Throughout the week we did have many questions and concerns come up since this was all new to us. Joe was extremely responsive and dedicated to making sure that not only was everything correct, but that we were also at ease. The specifics which we talked about at the time of the quote (IE: removing and installing additional vents) as well as a few other items were all completed as he said it would be. Joe was easy to get a hold of and returned your call within minutes. His excellent communication made the process that much easier. For this being the first time we've ever had to hire a company for a house project, we can only hope anything else we need will go as easily as Shulman Roofing made it for us! read more

My husband and I struggled for months to locate a roofer who was qualified to provide us with the roofing system we wanted, which included the installation of cool roof shingles and the design of an optimal attic ventilation system, as well as repairing an old sagging, leaking, tired, and neglected roof. Our existing roof had structural problems, leakage issues, and three layers of deteriorating/leaky shingles. The fascia boards on the house and garage also needed to be replaced. Thankfully we found Joe Schulman, who worked with us to find the best cool-roof shingles and designed an optimal ventilation system for our attic, which included a ridge vent and O' Hagan vents strategically situated to vent the areas where hot air would accumulate. Joe also identified a number of structural problem areas and fixed them, especially by adding slope to a flat area that was always a past drainage problem which would lead to roof leaks. He ended up using an industrial quality coating to foster effective draining and have long service life (see Photo #1). Additionally, upon Joe's recommendation, we had our fascia boards replaced with termite resistant and pre-primered, WindsorOne fascia boards. When our termite inspector came out for an annual check he glanced admiringly at the fascia boards and told me he has yet to find a WindsorOne fascia board that has been infested with termites. We are so thankful that Joe recommended that brand. Compared to the other roofing contractors we interviewed, who tend to be focused on applying shingles, rather than designing a roof system, Joe is a roofing craftsman, who can help design and then implement a roofing system that takes into account ventilation, and the structural integrity of the underlying roof decking. In our case, the roof was framed in the 1950s, and not built very well, and we inherited 3 layers of decaying shingles. Regarding the conduct of the work, the demolition crew was highly skilled, and quickly removed the old shingles with minimal debris falling around out house (see Photo #2 - top). His repair and shingle installation crew found and fixed many damaged decking 1x6 boards that needed replacement, (see Photo #2 - bottom), and discovered that our dormers were not properly anchored to the roof, and found a way to properly re-attach them to the roof structure. At the end of each of the working days, the installation crew diligently cleaned up the grounds of debris. Incidentally, Joe does not subcontract out the work for the roof repair and shingle installation; only the demolition work is done by a reputable subcontractor. This was important to us and was one of our requirements in our search for a reputable roofer. All of our roofing problems were quickly fixed so that the new cool-roof shingles had a structurally sound deck upon which they were laid. The new roof runs significantly cooler than the old roof, greatly reducing our need to use air conditioning, and it looks great! As it turns out the cost for the Joe's roof work competitively priced. His estimate was similar to the estimates that we received from less skilled/capable roofers. We highly recommend Joe for anyone that wants their roof cost-effectively done at a high level of quality. To view the final construction job, we have provided a before and after comparison of the old tired roof versus the new cool roof (see Photo #3). read more

Very happy with my new roof!! After several initial quotes, I still couldn't decide on which company to go with, so I came across Shulman Roofing online and their pricing was very fair and no bs quotes. Joe, the owner, was on-site every day and was very informative, down-to-earth and professional throughout the whole process. Highly recommend! read more

With a big roof leak and a huge storm coming in a few days, I was in desperate need of a roofing repair company. I called four local companies and nobody returned my call except Joe Shulman. Before he called me he looked up my house on google street and satellite views and could see where on my tile roof the potential leak was. He asks me "is the leak above your front door" and I replied "YES". He explained to me that fixing just that area would be a temporary fix and the only professional way to fix it would be to re-tar paper the whole section where the leak was. This made perfect sense to me as I would have done it the same way "if I knew how to do roofing". His guys came out and got the tar paper down before the rain started Thursday night. They returned after the storm on Saturday and completed the job. I am very satisfied with the quality of work and price. read more

This review has been long overdue! We had half of our roof re-roofed in 2013. I'm happy to report that after two winters and a handful of heavy rains the roof has held up nicely - totally bone dry including the newly replaced skylight! The entire process has been a breath of fresh air. We had a few different configurations in mind ranging from localized repair to re-roofing different combination of zones based on an aerial photo of our roof top. Joe was flexible enough to work with us and gave us quick quotes on the spot followed by detail contracts in email within hours. During the actual process, Joe was prompt to respond; gave us updates with before and after pictures. He even refunded us $200 since our roof didn't have any sheathing damages and put the refund towards upgrading our skylight. His crew - Dago (?) and his partner was punctual and professional. All in all we are very happy and would definitely have them re-roof the remaining half when the time comes. read more

Great roofing company. Easy to work with. They did an awesome job. George did our roof and his attention to the little details, like lining up the corners of the flashing, is what impressed us the most. read more

Buyer beware! Owner never called back or showed for appointment. Bad talked previous client that decided to wait to install new roof & it was a friend of mine. This company obviously has more work than they need. So glad went with another company for my new roof & they appreciated my business. I would not recommend this company for ANY work with this type iof service & professionalism. read more

Monday: Tear off old roof. Tuesday: Install new roof. Wednesday: Listen to the pitter-patter of rain on new rooftop. Must have been our lucky week. Unless you're simply looking for the lowest, rock-bottom price, I recommend calling Shulman Roofing and not wasting your time with other companies. (His price is reasonable but not the lowest.) My experience with this company was extremely positive. Here are a few of the highlights: 1. After I left a message requesting an estimate, Joe Shulman called me back right away. He arrived on time the next day and gave me a written estimate, along with brochures for and samples of the various products they use. 2. He also gave me a list of 40 to 50 references. I called four of the people on the list and they all provided glowing reviews. 3. Our roof had a weird little "dog leg" in the front that had never really bothered me, but Joe suggested that we straighten it out at minimal expense. So we did, and I can't believe how much better it looks! 4. On the first day, the crew was scheduled to arrive between 7am and 8am. They arrived at 6:55am. (I'm obsessively punctual, so this made my day!) 5. Joe said the job would be done in two days, and it was. 6. I didn't have to call Joe very often, but when I did he always returned the calls within a few minutes. I have dealt with dozens of contractors over the past few years, and Shulman Roofing was one of the very best and most reliable. read more

I recently had solar panels installed and the solar company butchered my beautiful slate roof. I called a few roofing companies. Some companies called back claiming to have experience on slate roofs, but when they come out, it's evident they really don't know that much. Joe Shulman from Shulman roofing called me back the very same day. I explained my problem. He was honest enough to explain that he's had limited experience with slate roofs and didn't feel he would be the best person for the job. What's even more impressive, is that he took it upon himself to check with his roofing supplier(American Slate) to find out which roofing companies deal with slate. Joe actually called me back 2 days later with a couple of numbers! Needless to say I was not only impressed, but pleasantly surprised! read more

Joe Schulman Roofing and his crew did a complete tear off, sheathing and reroofed our house in a very fast and professional manner. I strongly encourage you to hire Joe for any of your roofing needs. He gave me a fair price and did an excellent job, his presentation at the quoting process was very professional, which I find rare, and made me comfortable enough that I knew at that time I was going to hire him for the job even before he gave me hard numbers on a contract. His sub-contractor for the tear off did a fantastic job in a handful of hours and left the property cleaner than I expected, for that matter everyone involved with the project respected us and our home enough to clean up at the end of each day. Thanks so much Joe, I'm very grateful I found your company and I will recommend you to anyone I know that needs a roof done. Rick and Alice Wollenhaupt Garden Grove, CA. read more

My roof in Huntington Beach was finished a few days ago and I'm extremely happy with the results. They were prompt and attentive with all dealings I had with them, gave a thorough inspection of my very damaged roof prior to giving me an estimate, explained the different ways the problems could be dealt with, from cheaper fixes to full repairs, and issues that may come up once the old roof is removed and unseen damage becomes more visible. He provided a long list of local references with the color and material on each, which gave us the opportunity to drive by the nearby homes and view the quality of the workmanship and see how the different colors actually looked on a house, which was very helpful in determining the color we chose. Work started on time and finished within the estimated time frame in spite of the size of the job increasing as more damage was uncovered. The eaves and the exposed rafter tails were badly damaged with dry rot and termite damage, and needed to be repaired or replaced. I was kept apprised of the situation and consulted on what needed to be done. I opted for fully restoring the roof to the original dimensions as opposed to cheaper options that would reduce the overhang of the eaves. I replaced or added new fascia all around. The finished job wasn't cheap, but the workmanship was excellent and the finished project exceeded my expectations. Well worth it. The company was top notch. read more

Recently had our roof done by Shulman Roofing and couldn't be happier. A co-worker had referred us to Joe shullman after having her roof done by Shulman Roofing also. His price was very good and he did not require us to give a deposit or payment until our home refinance was completed. The roof being done was a condition of closing our refinance and Joe showed the ultimate patience and integrity! read more

Joe Shulman was prompt in contacting us and thorough in options for a new roof. He gave us a list of homes we could see with various types/colors of roofs that might work for our house. In July work started--removing the old roof, redoing two flat top areas and installing new GAF Timberline shingles on the sloped portions. The job was completed in six days. His crew worked diligently and cleaned up at the end of each work day. While we have not had any rain to "test" this roof, it looks solid and quite attractive. read more

Spoke to Joe S the owner and sounds very knowledgable and professional. Will consider for the repair job .

We've had numerous terrible experiences with contractors in the past few years so we spent a couple weeks seeking numerous bids for our house and detached garage roofs which were in dire need of replacement. As others have mentioned, Joe came by and did the estimate and promptly submitted his bid and quickly answered various questions we had via phone and email. Joe's bid was not the lowest (it was in the middle of about 8 bids) but he was by far the most informative and honest about what the job would entail, pointing out certain things none of the other roofers mentioned. Once we chose his company and a start date, his crew were at our home promptly on the time and date agreed upon. The job was estimated as a 4 day project, they finished in 3. They kept the grounds clean at the end of every day and there were absolutely no issues with the job. We are very pleased with the new roof and would recommend Shulman Roofing without hesitation. read more

I contacted Schulman Roofing after getting a positive review from a recently re-roofed house in my neighborhood. Joe came out to look and explained the whole process, as well as breaking down the cost. I was impressed with the professionalism and decided to use Schulman. I needed a complete re-roof and once they got started the whole process took about six days. The old 1960's roof was off in a day and then the new roof started to go up. I was happy with the materials and process. Joe's guys were also great at accommodating me -- they replaced a few busted out eave vents upon request and also let me pre-prime some of the old facia boards they had to replace. The final product looks great and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I highly recommend Schulman for any roof related work. read more

Joe is many things that other contractors aren't- punctual, honest, and reliable. He came out to fix my leaky chimney and did so quickly, and at a price that was in line with other quotes I had. I was satisfied after that visit, but what made his service really stand out for me was when I sprung a similar leak only 6 months later. Joe came out again to get a tarp up right away. After the storm stopped he did a full evaluation of the issue, and went above and beyond to diagnose and rectify the issue. My family and I really appreciate the service, attention, and thoroughness that he and his team provided. read more

We had a great experience with Shulman Roofing. Beautiful new roof. Highly recommend.

BEWARE! This guy is a FLAKE. He sent a worker out on a friday regarding a repair we had. The guy was on the roof for 1.5 hours "prepping" and then said he would need to come back on the following monday to finish and do the repair. After 10 calls in 6 days and 1 nasty email, he finally called and had a multitude of pathetic reasons why he would not move forward with the job. Totally unprofessional not to return a call saying he didnt feel comfortable doing the repair. Additionally, the leak was in our child's nursery and he had NO regard for that and the sense of urgency we were feeling as parents of a young child........Call someone else for roofing, this guy isn't worth the anguish...... read more

Shulman roofing installed our roof 14 years ago and did a great job. In fact we have recommended him to many of our friends. In fact he installed a new roof 3 houses down from ours just a couple of months ago due to our recommendation. We had stone work done on our chimney and I wanted Joe's company to come back and repair the damage that was caused from the job. I have called them three times. It has been over a week with no response. I am giving up on this company. read more

Shulman roofing could teach their competitors a thing or two (or maybe they should simply just go on Yelp and do some reading). I needed a new roof and called multiple companies. I went with Shulman Roofing because appearances matter, namely: the company owner (!!) comes out to run an estimate and lay out the game plan. Other companies just send out some lowly intern. Most importantly, Joe is patient with people who know next to nothing about roofs and strives to add aesthetic and functional value to the home. To him, it is not just a roof, but part of a larger unit. Joe and team definitely can see the forest and not just the trees. There are several teams involved in replacing a roof, each having a particular role, ranging from tearing old shingles, to laying new plywood, to laying new shingles. Behind it all, our conductor, Joe Shulman. Everything ran smoothly, from getting the city permit to making sure no car tires are punctured from a rogue roofing nail. Bravo, my man! read more

Shulman Roofing repaired half my roof in August (the old half that was leaking) but I wanted to wait until well into the ensuing rainy season before writing a review. The roof has been through several storms and is water tight. I couldn't be more satisfied with the work. He has a good crew that showed up on time and worked late through the course of a 4 day period. Each day, the crew worked hard and cleaned up. When the job was done, I had to call Joe after a few days to get him to send me the bill! read more

Joe Shulman did work on time and followed up with me to make sure we were happy with the work. His quote was half of what another wanted to charge us. No complaints about his service or work. Definitely will contact him again if we need any more repairs on our roof. read more

After the heavy winds blowing through Huntington Beach our roof lost some of its tiles. I called several contractors and received a call back from Joe Shulman. He came out and went up on the roof and gave me an estimate. Within two days his crew came out and did the repairs. Very professional and a great clean up job. I will be using him in a few years again when we need to put a new roof on the house. Great people to work with with. read more

Had a roof leak 2 years ago....called Shulman Roofing...they were out the same day to cover the leak and prepare for a tear down and new roof....however due to the lame HOA in Mission Viejo, it took 3 weeks before I could get the green light to move forward with the project. The workers arrived on time, were efficient and solid with their cleanup. Fast forward to now....I recently sold my home and had a slipped tile. One phone call to the owner and within 4 hours a foremen was out to fix the tile. I would highly recommend this company. Definitely good people. read more
