Too busy to take the work I Needed done. No interest in my rain gutter needs. Reached out to two other contractors who didn't bother to call back read more

For years I have seen my neighbors use Alves for roofing and asphalt work. I was SO impressed, I wrote reviews on the work they did. Now I have had the opportunity to have them do some work for me and I am also very impressed. They have a gutter cleaning/repair/maintenance team. Our home was built 28 years ago and after trying to seal the corners and joints for years, I finally decided to have it done professionally. I am also almost 70 and did not want to clean the gutters anymore. They added two downspouts where there were low spots and where I noticed overflowing with the heavy rains. They also found one area where the original gutters were not installed properly which has caused rot. I am SO happy I hired them to work for me. With them discovering the improperly installed gutter, I will be able to get it repaired at a minimal cost instead of a major one. If you want work done and you want it done right, call Alves. From start to finish I received constant contact about when they were coming, how long it would take and what needed to be done. read more

A huge facility that sits unassumingly off to the side on the far end of West End Road. Look for the huge painted American flag at the road frontage. Alves has literally been here decades, this family owned and operated business offers a variety of home services, materials and supplies. I recently worked with Shane on a custom metal roof project for my solar carport. His knowledge and friendly demeanor made my project not only easier to finish, he also gave me a very competitive price on my roof project. I requested bids from three other metal roof fabrication companies and Alves was within a few dollars of the lowest bid, and one never bothered to get back to me. The entire staff are customer service oriented and friendly folks to work with, every person I spoke with or interacted with were all low pressure, kind and friendly. My roof project was within budget and completely fabricated in locally, which was an important consideration for me. Competitive prices, friendly kind folks and a large selection of choices for all types of flooring, siding and roofing projects large and small. If you're a do it yourself, Alves is worth a visit. I plan to use them for a flooring project next. 4 Stars - a solid local source for quality metal roofing materials, advice and installation if needed. 00596 read more

Next time you do a job, be sure to clean the neighbors yard of your trash. Your workers left tar paper, plastic and other garbage in my yard. Halfway through the job they knocked on my door asking to clean their mess. I kindly said yes and was happy at the fact they were going to clean their mess. After picking up halfway through the job, the rest of the garbage from the second half hat fell and blew into my yard was simply left there. read more

They were priced fairly. Did above and beyond what we expected. The price we paid was what they bid. They were fast, the job didn't drag on, they came out and the roof was done. It looks great and it was done right. Six years later we are still pleased with Alves' service. (This is an unbiased review. We have no relationship to anyone in this company.) read more

WOW, the Humboldt way has earned its reputation . Went to ALVES for an estimate and they were twice as much as the competitors. REALLY - this is what is wrong with the county- thieves like ALVES should not be a part of the equation. Those that want to support local business but don't support those that are looking for competition. I wish I could post the actual estimates but $680 vs. $1600+ - REALLY? Go with air tight. ALVES ARE PREDATORS read more

I sure wish I knew the secret to getting this company to return calls. I was told in one week I would have an estimate, it has now been over six weeks and four phone calls (one directly to the owner) and still no response. This is not only unprofessional but also rude. Sorry I attempted to work with you Alves...you're just not with the hassle. read more

Thank you again to the Alves Inc. roofing contractors for their up most professionalism, skilled mastery, and thorough attention to detail during the entire process of tear off through to the application of my Mom's new single-ply roofing system.

Think Alves - Thank you again to the Alves Inc. roofing contractors for their up most professionalism. Need a roof? THINK Alves INC - Roofing Near Me - Arcata, California

We had them resurface our driveway recently. While the cost was a little higher than we expected (although it was still a few hundred dollars less than one of their major competitors) we were still very pleased with their service. The two workers who did the job arrived when they said they would, were very professional and polite, and did a fantastic job. Based on this experience, Alves will go to the top of our list the next time when need to get an estimate to have a project done. read more

We had our carport roof replaced by Alves in December 2018 as it was leaking bad and they did a great job! Then we found our home roof was leaking also- it was really old and did need replacement- so we hired Alves to do that also. Todd and Ted who did the prep part were great. The day of the replacement about 15 guys and trucks came out and did the whole roof replacement in about 7 hours! And they left no mess either. They found some rot under the old roof and replaced that for a very fair price. I'm impressed with these people and highly recommend them for a roof job! They are easy to deal with and friendly also and most of all they are professionals!!! And we did get two bids- and their price was about the same as the other contractor! read more

Amazing service. Great scheduling and delivery. Complete roof, skylights and gutter replacement. All done in one day for a home and separate 3 car garage. 15 guys, 8 trucks, in at 8:30am, out at 5:00pm and cleaned up every last nail. Beautiful work. Also working with Alves Flooring for replacing floors in 2 homes. read more

Alves Inc. came and installed a new roof for me. Price wise they were par with the other estimates I gathered for the job. The group appeared in the morning and by 5pm they were done. The only way one could tell that they were even there is the new roof on the house. They cleaned up very well and did not damage any of the surrounding landscaping. I recommend giving them a try. read more

Alves installed speed bumps on my private road. They were so tall that they scraped the bottom of cars. When we called Alves to fix the issue, they came out unannounced and made the speed bumps even taller. The neighborhood has agreed to address the issue, but Alves refuses to return and fix the problem in a timely manner. These guys are the most unprofessional contractors I've ever dealt with. read more

We had our old roof & rain gutters replaced by Alves. Showed up at 8:30am were done by 4:30pm. The rain gutters were replaced a few days later. We are very impressed with their professionalism, quality and great attitude. Needless to say there was a real mess as they had to remove the old roofing, black paper, plywood, etc, etc. They covered all our plants & bushes and anything that could possibly be damaged. Completely tarped the entire perimeter of the house made for easy clean up. They had 2 to 3 people picking things up thru out the instillation of the new roof. We can't say enough about how clean and professional they were. We got four estimates, Alves was the only company who also installs rain gutters, so we had to get three other estimates from gutter companies as well. Alves did the roof & gutters for a few thousand dollars less expensive the the just the other roofers & did the gutters too. We would highly recommend them & will use them again if needed. Thank you, Alves & crew.. read more

Stellar service, knowledgeable staff and fair minded people. They helped us in dealing with some very minor issues and did an exceptional job, on time and within budget. I would recommend this business read more

Thank you Alves for the fantastic new roof! It was quite a sight to see the crew tear off the old tar and gravel and rebuild and install new shingles. They put tarps down all around the house and covered my garage and did a great job of cleaning up the mess. It was nice to see such good teamwork. I'm super glad I decided not to try doing this job myself! read more

Alve's Roofing really won me over recently. The company I work for called Alve's Roofing out to do roofing work and they looked at it and said the roof actually looks fine and the problem was the siding. This kind of honesty is very rare. They have definitely won me over and I know who I will call and refer others to!!!! read more

Amazing crew of professionals. Organized, knowledgeable, competent, skilled, courteous, considerate, efficient etc. They completed our driveway resurfacing on schedule & left our property spotless; no mess to clean up. The driveway looks awesome. The best!! read more

Wanted an estimate to carpet our home. I thought a $3000 deposit to hold $4000 in carpet was excessive, but I intended to have them do the work, so I paid it. They came out to measure and said they would email a bid within the next two days. One week later, after 3 phone calls and an email, still no bid and no phone call. I went in and was told they sent it yesterday, maybe a typo? No explanation or apology for the delay. I asked for a refund. If you can't communicate, I don't want you to work for me. Cost them a $7000 job. read more

I recently had a tree stump removed from the middle of the parking area. It quickly became a mud pie, trapping cars. I was able to do business with Alves Inc from over 750 miles away, to not only get the immediate problem solved, but get it professionally paved so it will not be a problem for a long, long time. When I made requests for guarantees and flexibility in the specifications, he was very responsive. At the end I asked for pictures, he provide pictures very promptly. read more

This company has the best service; very comparable estimates and does an excellent job. They are very efficient and get the work done as quickly as possible with as little interference as can be managed with such work and, best of all, clean up after themselves without so much as a nail or scrap of material left behind. They have done three different roofing jobs for me and their attitude and consideration of my needs has been exceptional. They also do many other jobs; i.e. gutters, asphalt, skylights, etc. also very efficiently and I have found their prices quite reasonable. If you use this company, you won't be disappointed. read more
