DONT USE THEM! I thought I had updated this review, but after the first few hiccups with the roof. I had 2 leaks in different areas of my house that damaged my ceiling. One was where they put new flushing but not tight enough so water got underneath causing about 1000 worth in damage and then about 2 months later the roof that is brand new over our garage b started leaking through our garage and caused the ceiling of garage to deteriorate. I called and they came out and "fixed" it. I had to leave but when I came home the way they fixed it was just pouring tar over all of it and it looks awful since it was dripping down the front of the flushing. I should mention the spot where it was leaking was the spot that I was concerned about in my first post and they said it was fine that tar was melting off my roof and down my house. The tar melting was coming from u set my roof and causing it to break down. WOULD NEVER USE AGAIN. I would have hired a lawyer for damages since that was a softly estimate to fix but I would spend more effort and money and do not want them to repair anything of mine again. Photo posted was them fixing the leak

Lift tile and replace underlayment   The crew evaluated all the wood underneath to make sure it was in good condition before proceeding.

Have known Urbach Roofing for twenty years, and when I was working in the home remodeling industry, referred this company to many of my clients. All referrals came back glowing which was awesome and allowed me to really trust in their work and business. When we purchased our home 16 years ago, we had a standard home inspection and the roof was in good condition. Our home at that time was 16 years old. As the years went by, we did have Urbach out to evaluate the roof to make sure it remained in good condition. Over those years, there were a couple of minor repairs and the conversation was had that at some point, we would likely need a re-roof. Not surprising. Fast forward to Feb 2020 and our home now 30 years old, it was time to sit down and begin evaluating companies and bids for re-roofing. Urbach Roofing was certainly at the top of the list. But we are homeowners and recognize having multiple bids is critical. We had four companies in total, including Urbach, provide estimates, timing, and all the information to make a good decision. Then COVID19 happened and we panicked and stopped because spending money at that time, not knowing what would be happening, freaked us out. In spring of 2021, we decided that it was time and we needed to re-evaluate the estimates. One team, the lowest estimate, worked for a roofing company during the week and did their own work on the weekends. This allowed them to underbid not only their employer, but other roofing companies. But they had no insurance, no work comp, no business license and no warranty. Granted they did the work everyday at work. But I don't think that type of operation is fair and I just knew that somehow it would not work out for us. One quote came in just below Urbach and another higher. I'm sure those other companies were good, but I ultimately selected Urbach because I KNOW they are good and their quote was solid based upon our vetting. We scheduled the re-roof for June. Funny, after booking the date, we had a rain storm and our rook leaked slightly in the guest room. Like our house agreed the work needed to be done. Lol. Called Urbach and they were out quickly, made the repairs and because we had our work scheduled, no charge. Phew. Thank goodness. June arrives. We get the call reminding us of our work and instructions for preparation. The Crew arrived and set up and they got to it. This was a lift and relay re-roof. We did not replace the existing tile because that would be astronomical and our current tile, although weathered, is still in great shape. We did opt for the upgraded underlayment. We anticipated wood needing to be replaced and made the necessary mental adjustments to the original estimate accordingly. In all of this, we also had Urbach install a SolaTube in our hallway, as well as remove and replace all our existing gutters and downspouts. The gutter work was completed by A1, but everything was coordinated through Urbach so it worked with the scope of roofing and timing. Our fireplace chimney cover, 31 years old, had completely rusted and was also needing to be replaced. It was non functional and when it rained, water was infiltrating our chimney. Of course, we didn't know that because we couldn't see the chimney cover other than from the ground. But once on the roof, we could see it was just destroyed. Thankfully, Urbach was able to to provide a quote prior to the work. I called our chimney sweep company and another fireplace company for quotes. Urbach was the lowest price, which I didn't expect honestly. They said it would be a couple of weeks for that item because it wasn't something they did in-house. Cool with us. Lo and behold, they were able to get one sooner and they got it installed on the last day of work. Exceptional. Urbach Roofing completed this reroof, with upgraded underlayment, new bird stop, new vents, with city permits, all in the original timeframe. We did go over the original estimate but the majority of that is because I personally added on to the job. The other overruns were identified as line items in the original estimate because until the roof is peeled back, you don't know what to expect for damage and replacement. In our case, that was minimal and those add ons had been realistically anticipated in advance. We strongly recommend Urbach Roofing. They have been awesome to work with and have been great in all of the services they provide. Roger would be incredibly proud of his family for keeping this business going in the same way he ran it for decades. His daughters are operating this with long time employees and a team that believes in delivering the same quality to every client.

The black tar was slapped on but left holes under each side.

Greatest Roofing Company EVER!! Once again, Roof Masters…read moreexceeds expectations. We had RM install our metal roof a few years back. Gorgeous roof. It leaked after this last rain (caulking is getting tired). Angel came out and not only fixed the caulking of the roof pipe in question, but also noticed another repair opportunity around a pipe RM did not install. Yes, they fixed someone else's work. There are no other roofing companies you need to waste your time with. Rudy, Rosa, and the whole RM team are the best. Thanks again Roof Masters! Mark

I'm so glad I chose The Roof Masters. As a first-time homeowner, this was also my first experience…read morereplacing a roof, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. The Roof Masters made the entire process easy and stress-free from start to finish. The crew did an incredible job and completed the roof replacement in about three days. They arrived promptly at 7am each day and worked until around 5pm. I was especially impressed with how well they cleaned up at the end of each day, making sure the area was left free of debris and nails. I also want to give a special thank you to the project manager, Rigo. From the very first day he came out to provide the estimate, he was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. He was extremely patient while I took the time to make such a big decision (I got 4 different estimates) and was always available to answer my questions and guide me through the process. Overall, I had a great experience with The Roof Masters and couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and hardworking team for their roof replacement!

I didn't know it was possible to leave a stellar review for a roof replacement project, but here we…read moreare, beyond satisfied with the professionalism and ease with Cowboy's Roofing. Our awesome experience started with Mike coming out to inspect our roof, taking pics and sharing them with us, while thoroughly explaining the replacement process. His sense of humor and willingness to answer all of our questions was great. The project itself couldn't have been easier. Junior and the crew showed up on time every day, worked their butts off, and did a killer job cleaning up every day. Nothing was a surprise at the end- our solid quote was what we paid. For anyone looking for a stand-up roofing company, that delivers what they promise with a great attitude and excellent workmanship, go with Cowboy's Roofing. Thank you Cowboy's, for such an easy project with no stress!!

Cowboy's Roofing quoted our full flat roof at $20,130 for a silicone coating system (pressure…read morewashing, acrylic base coat, polyester fabric, and silicone). We started with one section for $13,061, and they also installed a skylight for $1,084. The work was sloppy. They pressure-washed old roofing debris down our downspouts into our drains and rain collection buckets, and they splattered silicone on our trim. They came back to clean up the debris and repaint the trim, but only after we raised both issues. After that job, the uncoated section started leaking, which we believe was caused by foot traffic from their or the solar company's crew. To avoid voiding the workmanship warranty on the first section by bringing in another company, we had Cowboy's coat the rest for $7,655. That's $20,716 for the coating, $586 more than their own full-roof quote. After the first rain, I found that the coating doesn't seal against the wood trim along the roof walls. There are open gaps with bare wood exposed, and in some spots the coating bridges over a void instead of bonding. The trim along those edges is now water-damaged. I sent photos and asked them to address it under their 10-year workmanship warranty. By phone, I was told it isn't covered because their job was "only silicone" (the proposals list four steps, not one), that the gaps were there before (we had a dry rot inspection and repairs done before they started), and that we need a wall cap. None of their three proposals, including the full-roof quote, ever mentioned a wall cap. Their project coordinator says the operations manager will call to make a final decision. I'll update this review with the outcome. Based on our experience, I can't recommend them. Over $21,000 later, we have an unsealed roof edge, water-damaged trim, and a warranty they say doesn't apply to their own work. If you do hire them, don't assume anything is covered unless it's written into the proposal.
