Much higher than most — the typical roofer in Florida sits at 2.5%. A higher share is a reason to read the critical reviews below, not a verdict.

No service after sale. Roof seems okay but they tried to stick me with petty charges for plywood sheets even though Mexican roofers told me they didn't use any. Anyways, 5 years later i see stains on the ceiling. I call to have them inspect. Lady who sounds like she smokes 5 packs a day says someone will call me back in 48 hours. No call. I call the next week and it's just excuses why i wasn't called back. THIS TIME, swears I'll be on the schedule. Another week goes by, no call. Tell gladys or whatever smoker lady in the Riverview office to get a new job. Not recommending you to anyone

A First Choice Roofing did a re-roof for my home back in 2020. My roof still leaked after the work was completed. Went round and round with this company over who was responsible for Leak. Ended up having to hire another company to make the repair costing me About $1500-$2000 more. The new company found Rottenwood that should’ve been replaced the first time around. Would not recommend this company. #2 It was not compromised stucco. I had to hire a stucco person on my own last minute because I was told by the “job site supervisor” that the flashing had to be replaced around the dormer, which I’m sure most companies that do roofing run into inevitably. A First Coice roof did not have The resources or Contacts as I was told that day to facilitate those repairs. The flashing was replaced and I wanted the stucco to be put back over the flashing as Anyone would want things put back the way they originally were. At that point, I was tired of haggling with first choice roofing and just wanted my roof to not leak And I knew first choice was not going to honor their work. So I never thought about taking pictures the day the new company came out to make the repair. A First Choice Roofing knew the Leak was there when they started the roof. Why wouldn’t a company have the resources to make such a repair themselves? It’s a big company. it’s part of roofing. It was an insurance claim and I would’ve been glad to have paid the extra money to have it fixed the day that they did the roof, Not later down the road. The new company that made the repairs couldn’t believe the wood rot that a first choice roofing left. I’m not one to make trouble, I don’t like to, except for when a company treats you poorly.

After several discussions with Mr Lees and visits to the property it was determined that there was compromised stucco, which happens over time to most stucco homes in FL. We asked for pictures of the repairs that were made the first time to determine if the correct amount of stucco was removed so we could install new flashing properly. We never received those pictures. We did suggest in the very beginning to have counter flashing installed over the stucco, but Mr Lees insisted that he did not want the flashing to be seen. Mr Lees’ insurance company did not pay to have stucco removed and replaced. Please send pictures of the repair work done, before and after, to info@afcroofing and we will discuss reimbursement for roof work, minus any stucco work, as that was never paid for by your insurance company.

Had roof shingles replaced. When large delivery truck delivered materials it damaged my concrete driveway considerably. When I held back $2,000.00 of payment a collection agency came after me. I paid balance plus interest and still have a damaged driveway. Reached out to A1 Roofing for an explanation and they said delivery was from a third party, so not their problem. Also now my roof leaks!

I just got my roof done by this company. I now have a gutter that doesn't line up and bubbles in my shingles. I've asked nicely to fix my concerns. The inspector tried to lie saying its common and it needs to heat up. I told him I didn't feel that was true and wanted the areas replaced. He then told me the company has 48hours to respond. This was on a Monday at 5pm. No call and they showed up on Sunday (speaking no English). Not to mention I'm a nurse 3rd shift they have been told dozens of times to call and schedule a appointment so not sleeping for work. The issues were not fixed. They were trying to beg my boyfriend to tell the boss on the phone if looks good. My bf refused. The inspector text me on Monday saying he wants to come get the check that my bf approved the repairs. I text back telling him his information was not correct the roof looked worse and the gutter was not fixed. I said you want 20,000 from me then I expect it to get done right. He then asked if I was paying outta pocket or a insurance claim. I said what does that matter? He was rude and unprofessional. I then told him send the owner of A first choice roofing and see if he approves the roof? Don't send out another subcontractor that doesn't speak English or that keeps making things worse. After reading the BBB reviews I'm glad I held on to the money. They won't get a dime from me until it's done correctly. I have not heard anything back from them at this time. At this point I don't trust them. They hire and contract out and I'm not sure the roofers are even licensed. I attached some photos of the bubbling in roof and the gutter not lining up

Do not do business with this company. The roof is experiencing leaks just three years after they replaced it. It was supposed to have a lifetime warranty, but that appears to be a lie, and they are not willing to take responsibility. Be careful with that company.

This homeowner was released from her contract. No money was ever paid to us. We hope she was able to find another contractor to meet her specific needs.

I would highly recommend this company. Mike didn’t just come in with a price and push me to buy. They explained every aspect of what goes into replacing my roof. To me he didn’t come off as a sales person but more so somebody who just came inform me and help me to decide the best choice for me and my family.

I couldn’t be happier. From the inspection to the tear off and new roof installation. Every step of the way I was kept informed of the next step and made to feel part of the process. Roof is beautiful and I love the warranty. Next step for me is to learn about their solar offer.

Roof looks great!
- 5 out of 5Garvin Whitfielda year ago
I had my roof replaced 1/25 because of hurricane damage. To say i was pleased with the workmanship is an understatement my new roof looks amazing. Great customer service, Mike ( the owner ) assisted me and took care of most of the paperwork for my insurance. The office was always available as well as Mike to help and answer any questions. They use high quality and upgraded materials rather than the standard that you may get with most roofers. The installment crew led by Jose ( supervisor ) did a great job. I would recommend making A First Choice Roofing your first call when in need of roofing work.

They did a great job. We have had issues with a chimney causing leaks nothing to do with the roof. Always quick to respond and help even though it is the chimney and not roof. I highly recommend this company.
