Corners of fascia cut wrong and damaged. Flashing paint not solid and weather head left old color. Valley flashing intersection may cause future water flow issues. Damaged fence post. 2”flashing installed on 11/2” vent pipe extra mastic to cover it up. Fascia seam over doorways. Over priced for a two man team taking a week to complete. No work on the weekend. Accounting is done via email not paper mail making it difficult to print important documents. I’m only writing this feed back because I have been repeatedly text/emailed to the point of harassment. I don’t do these things but I’m compelled to stop the on going requests. The workers were nice and professional, one skilled the other a helper. I had to suggest they change the blade on their saw as it was painfully obvious from the sound it was a dull blade. I’ve asked accounting for a paper statement of my account paid in full twice now. I will email another time Monday. For the money spent anyone would expect more polished finish.

From beginning of in-house sales call to completion of job, everyone was professional, responsive and pleasant to work with. Once the project started, workers were on time, answered any questions or requests and cleaned up every day. Job was completed two days early. Follow-up issues were handled to our complete satisfaction.

Our experience was amazing from the initial sales discussion through the wrap up of our roof replacement. Everyone we interacted with was professional, responsive and courteous. The team doing our roofing was also stellar. They showed up on time each morning, made sure any questions we might have were addressed, and finished the job quicker than we expected. We highly recommend August Roofing and would happily work with them again although we hope to enjoy our worry-free new roof for a long time before then!

Where this page comes from
Every figure above is Google’s, captured on 24 September 2026. The star average and the 36 ratings behind it are counted by Google across all of its reviews. The review text on this page is a sample — we hold 21, of which 19 have any text — and it is not everything Google shows.
Roof Warden does not verify licenses, bonds, insurance or workers’ compensation cover, and nothing on this page should be read as though we had. Confirm those directly with the contractor and with your state or provincial licensing body before you hire anyone.
