Yesterday was not a good day at our house as a roof developed a serious leak. I didn't notice the problem until first thing this morning because it wasn't a part of the house we never use anymore. Nevertheless we still had to solve the . problem because it was going to cause serious damage to the insulation and sheetrock so now we have to find a contractor on a holiday. I started calling the four or five roofing contractors that seem to work in my neighborhood and none of them returned my call except one. Within about 95 minutes or so they sent out one of their people to help me with my problem. this was no easy task is it was raining out in the leak was getting worse. The man who drive out to my home covered the area that was leaking with a tarp. This seemed to stop the leaking. I was so impressed I offered to pay him on the spot but he said don't worry about it. He said my company will bill you later. He also assured me that once the weather is dry, they could repair my roof instead if replacing it. I finally found someone I can trust. His name is Jeff Shulman. 4 hours later I get to hear back from any of the other roofing companies I called read more

Did not install roof vent properly and 2 years later during our storms it leaked. He refused to honor his warrantee fortunately I found a reliable company to do the job right at my expense read more

They did two Eagle Tile roofs for us. One was a re-roof and the other was new construction. They easy to work with, did a great job and were competitively priced. read more

My mom needed a new roof so I asked around and a friend suggested Zimmerman. I don't have to tell you that a roof if a pretty big deal. So I was really cautious. Kenny, the foreman, was very helpful. Good price, professional work, and done on time. I'm truly happy with my decision. read more

Here's one thing they don't tell you when you buy a house: when your roof starts leaking and you go to call the landlord....there is no landlord!! Oh no!! So, when we moved into our house recently our roof was brand new, so we had no problems until just recently. It was no huge thing, just a leak in the bathroom, but, frankly, I'm afraid of heights and wouldn't know a shingle from Shinola. I was also afraid that my job was so small that a roofing company would laugh at me for calling. Nevertheless, I saw a Zimmerman Roofing truck on the road and took down the number. Within a day my leaking roof woes were over. Here's what I found: -Fast, courteous service from people that seem to know way too much about roofs. -My small problem was fixed for a very reasonable price. -No more leak!! Someday (hopefully not too soon) I will need a new roof, and I won't hesitate to call Zimmerman Roofing. read more

My experience was awful. I was helping my dad get quotes and Zimmerman refused to talk to me or provide any sort of quote. Zimmerman was condensending and rude throughout the 3 times we met. I have no clue as to why the believe they can treat people this way, but I will never use their company. Update: I am not mistaken and I live in the greenhaven pocket area. This incident occurred many years ago before yelp and thought I would wrote a review based on my experoence. While I am not surprised you don't remember me, but I definitely remember the way your company treated me. But thank you again for your condenscension. read more

Just had a very good experience with Zimmerman . They tore off an old roof & put on a new one. They were conscientious & competent. The foreman Richard does the right thing for the homeowner. As in all business relationships, there needs to be good communication both ways. I certainly did not know much about roofing. The inspections can cause delays, but Zimmerman really accommodated me in getting the job done quickly. The roof looks great and I am confident it was put on right. I also feel that if I discovered something was wrong later, they would definitely come back & fix it. They are trustworthy. And in the roofing business, that counts for a lot! I highly recommend them. The owner, Dave, has a great reputation. Alma, in the office, is very efficient. Jason, who works on the gutters is great. Richard , the foreman, is topnotch. They have a lot of good people!! read more

Great roof and good service. They did a fast beautiful job on my re-roof job in the rainy season. Definitely use Zimmerman re-roofing.

Where do I start. I'm actually getting my roof done as I write this...well maybe not because no one was here today to meet with the inspector to approve the work and move forward. So they also had me sign a in progress form yestardayand then left for the day at 12pm. I didn't really think about it until the work could have been finished today but when no one showed, then I called (they didn't call me) and they told me there employee made a mistake by not showing up to meet with the inspector and it would be rescheduled for tuesday January 2nd because of the holiday. So I'm pretty sure this was done on purpose so the team doing my roof could take 1/2 of Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday all off and I'm stuck with a half done roof and dedris all over my lawn in the front yard, backyard and driveway. I even took the days off from work to be here while the work was being done. This company does not communicate at all with the home owner that is paying for the work to be done. Seems this is the norm for how companies work these days...except mine!!!! read more

Zimmerman Re-Roofing is HORRIBLE! They ripped off our roof, didn't cover it in plastic, it rained inside our house and they did NOT fix anything. All we got was a not-so-reassuring "it will dry out" and they left a hole in the roof for one whole week, waiting for it to dry out. When it didn't dry out completely, they gave us another not-so-reassuring "the rest of it will dry with the upcoming heat." They provided a small discount on the roof for our inconvenience, but not enough to actually repair the damage and they flat out refused to fix it themselves. They did throw in four extra roof vents for free, because they know that they f***** up and our attic now needs more ventilation. They refused to compensate us for any of the damage caused by their negligence! To add insult to injury, they tried to cheat us by putting smaller flashing around the roof than they agreed to in the contract and they didn't put it on one entire side, hoping that we wouldn't notice. When we pointed this out they only put the nice flashing on two of the four sides, leaving the smaller different colored flashing on one side and another unfinished flashing on the gutter side. When we asked for consistent colored flashing he said "well, you're going to paint it anyways, right?" This is just another reason we shouldn't have gone with the cheapest of the three contractors. But we went with them because we see their signs everywhere and there weren't any horrible reviews out there. Honestly we settled for slightly more than they offered and significantly less than we thought just, because we just wanted them to go away. I don't know if anyone else is any better, but I know Zimmerman is horrible. This was a great opportunity for them to prove themselves as a great contractor, but instead they just failed. read more

Needed to have a solar powered attic fan installed. I was directed to Zimmerman by another roofer who was too busy to do the job. Initially everything went fine, I was able to a hold of someone at the company and explain my request. Then my information was sent to a service guy who was supposed to contact me. But he never got back to me with an estimate or to schedule an appointment. I had to call the company back to get his number. Each time I managed to get a hold of the service guy it was like it was the first time he heard of the job (had to continually reexplain what I wanted, the fan I wanted installed, the type of roof I had, and the times that would work for me). I had an extremely hard time setting up an appointment with him because he only wanted to work in the early morning and that conflicted with my work schedule. I finally managed to schedule an appointment but I got a call 10 minutes after the he was supposed to arrive saying he had to cancel. I set up another appointment two weeks later and he never showed up or called to explain what happened. Very disappointed with this experience. I ended up wasting a bunch of my time and pushing back this project almost a month for no reason. I understand I have a small job for most roofers, but I don't appreciate being treated as an after-thought or minor side-job. Or having to beg just to get someone to take my money. read more

Had a great experience with getting my roof repaired quickly in the middle of the rainy season. So thankful that they were able to come out and do it. We've had a lot of rain since and no leaks! Great service, knowledgeable and helpful. I'd call them back in a heartbeat. read more

I called them for an estimate to replace my father's roof. The man came out, bu declined to get on the single story roof. He was three hous early and I had to be somewhere else at the time,, but someone was there at the house. That person told him someone was on the roof the night before to give an estimate and Zimmerman 's reply was "she doesn't need our estimate for a roof she already has one"; and stormed off. ! I couldn't believe the arrogance of this person, asI he thought I wouldn't have estimates to have for my roof, which is very expensive to replace! I tried to text him, but it was blocked, and no answer on the phone. I would not recommend them for business! read more

I've recently had the opportunity to deal with Zimmerman, and I have to say, the experience was wonderful. They were fast to respond, offered me a very fair price, and guaranteed their work. This is exactly the kind of service I want when dealing with a local company. Thanks again, guys! read more

Dear Dave, Thank you for the wonderful job you and your crew did on my roof. I know that it was done in the most expedient way possible, even with weather conditions being so uncooperative. The photo reports were very helpful. Not only was I able to decide what parts of the roof to be repaired, but also I was able to see the results after completion. I was very impressed by the crew of workmen also. They were very meticulous about cleaning the area around the house each time they were there. They also answered questions that I had during the times that I was home while they were working. They were friendly and courteous. Overall, I am pleased with the work that you did. I know that I would recommend you to friends and family, and/or anyone else who was looking for someone to repair their slate roof. Mark read more

If you are looking for a great experience with a professional roofing company that cleans up after the job and keeps you informed all through the process, DO NOT choose Zimmerman. If you want a reasonable price and can put up with not knowing what's going on, then go ahead and work with these guys. The good news is that after 8 weeks of waiting, the final inspection is done. The bad news is that I am pretty sure that if anything goes wrong, I am out of luck. read more

They supposedly fixed the leak last year, and seemed fairly professional, but now it's leaking all over again. Called them up and they refused to take responsibility. They used to be a good company but they've really gone down hill over the last 5 years. I'll definitely never use them again. read more

Excellent follow through on everything we asked of them! I would definitely recommend Zimmerman roofing on any roofing needs! They are A+ in my book. Very professional, and personal. Jeff and Rich were exceptional! read more

I watched Zimmerman Roofing install a roof on a neighbors house last year and it went very quickly without a big mess. When I needed the roof on my business replaced, I had Zimmerman do the work. I didn't get a bunch of estimates because I was more concerned that the job was done right. I deal with lots of people and I can size them up pretty quick. I liked the owner and they did the job without a big disruption to my business. I'll use them again in 40 years. read more

We recently moved from our home in Land Park to a larger home in Carmichael last November. During the first week of January of this year (2020), we noticed the shake roof developed several leaks on our home. After contacting our insurance company they advised us to get several estimates from local roofing companies. As I started calling various roofing contractors in the Sacramento area, I would ask each one when I called if they were fully covered with workmen's compensation insurance (we have a fairly steep roof pitch) and if their company also carried liability insurance too. This question eliminated about half the roofing companies I contacted. I finally found two seemingly reputable roofing contractors (Yancy Roofing and Zimmerman Reroofing) that were fully insured and willing to send someone out to evaluate our problem. Both provided written estimates for repairing our older shake roof. However we decided to replace the shake roof with a longer lasting asphalt shingle material from Owens Corning called Woodcrest. After reviewing both of the proposals (prices were similar) we asked both companies for a list of installations of previous work they have done in Carmichael. We choose Zimmerman Reroofing to install our new roof because after we checked out their references they provided we were impressed with the quality of work they have done and the beautiful homes they had re-roofed in our neighborhood. Once we signed their contract, they contacted us three weeks later to begin the installation. Everything they promised and everything that was written in the contract was completed and done in a timely manner. The foreman (Kenny) managed the job while the office staff kept me up to date of the inspection process and other small details that come up during the re-roofing process. Dave Zimmerman stopped by several times during the week to monitor the progress. Once the roof was installed, the next day they sent out their clean-up crew to paint the metal flashings and pick-up all of the pieces of left-over material. Down on the ground, they swept up all of the roof dust and debris that had settled on the ground and in our bushes around the house. The last thing they did was to remove the porta-potty from our driveway that had been there the past week for the men's use during the time they worked on our home. I know for a fact, if there is not a porta-potty on a job site, the men still have to go (so guess where they go) and I appreciated the company had one on my job site. Overall, I would say that as far as roofing companies go, I was hard pressed to find one that was as professional and thoughtful as Zimmerman Reroofing. I read some of the other Yelp reviews and most were positive too. When i read the angry ones written by other yelpers, I noticed these were the same people that complained about everyone else too. I wonder if Yelp really understands that people who go out of their way to trash local businesses (Like they do) get some sort of stimulation out of doing so or feel a sense of power in being so negative. I looked up on Yelp the review for my health club called the Capital Athletic Club (one club located downtown) where I joined back in 1990. While everyone I know who goes there loves the club, there was several Yelp reviews from people who worked out there a few times and simply trashed one of the best athletic clubs in Sacramento by using the Yelp platform to vent. It makes me wonder if people who have such negative things to say about a local business have other issues in their lives that they need to share their rage on a platform like yelp. read more

Why bother with these people?? I called them twice this week to schedule an estimate, and they blew me off. They answer the phone, promise to call back and never did. I even said I was a past customer over the years. Well, that was then. Why waste time when they don't even give you the courtesy of returning your calls. read more

Great company very knowledgeable and answered all my questions regarding my roofing project. I highly recommend them. Thanks again Dave

I wish I could actually offer a review on their work - but I placed a phone call to them that they never even returned. Really poor customer service - so even if they call me now I would not hire them. read more

Top notch roofer / re-roofer. Great crew, high integrity. They completed a job for us, on time and within the budget. Small company that depends upon their reputation, big thumbs up. read more

Great job on our roof! Had a little trouble getting them to call me back in the beginning but got a resonable estimate. Once we committed to them, they scheduled us in right away and completed the job within the week. Very happy with the results. read more

Very professional and helpful. Very fair pricing and did not try to take advantage like some other I consulted with.
