    I’m no roofer, but I am sure roofs aren’t supposed to have waves in them when they are finished being completed. Never seen a roof in my life have waves in it.

    Reply from the business

    Thank you for your concern Lisa. As this was a townhome community project you were never included in the expectations portion of our discussions. It is incredibly common to have waves and distortions in the direct aftermath of the installation of new asphalt shingles. These waves almost always settle down as the shingles heat up in the sun. I have viewed a picture of what I believe to be your building that we took after it was fully completed and there are zero waves in the shingle. You likely saw it directly after installation or had a bad angle. I find it important to also note that this roof is fully guaranteed for 25 years against any type of material or workmanship issues by the GAF Golden Pledge Warranty. Should any issues arise please don't hesitate to let us know.

    Prior to hurricane Milton, Kyle Carpenter gave my mom who's a senior on SSI an estimate to repair her lanai roof. Despite being on a fixed income she purchased all the materials he told her she needed. Understandably, he and his company …

    Hi Ticia, Kyle has attempted to reach out to resolve any misunderstanding. We value each customer and do our best to accommodate their individual needs. At the time we were post hurricane and it was difficult to get to you in the time you expected, and for that, we apologize.

    Crew showed up this am covered around house with netting when coving my flower bed they broke one of bushes and wasn’t gonna say anything until my husband notice lead on job started yelling at husband said it was just a bush have it all on camera very bed customer service

    Reply from the business

    I appreciate your concern regarding your flower bed. As you stated we arrived and attempted our best to cover and protect the grounds surrounding the roof. Unfortunately roofing is a very dangerous and destructive project. I assure you at no time did we intend or purposefully break your bush, we were intentionally taking steps to prevent that from happening. Your landlord that hired us was happy with the final project, and we appreciate the business.

    Contacted them a few days after Milton because they had replaced our roof two years prior. Very unprofessional, referred us to an engineer who ripped us off, wouldn’t return our calls, six months of run around and no progress. Would never recommend.

    Reply from the business

    Hi Chris. We truly strive to give our best to each customer, past or present. As you know the insurance process after a storm can be tedious and often frustrating, for the homeowner especially. Unfortunately, at times our hands are tied while we wait for other professionals and the insurance company to move the process along. We apologize for any misunderstanding, but assure you our intent was never to mislead you in any way.

    Company was recommended on local page, they came out and said he’d work up the numbers and get back to me but never did, they never return calls after weeks of calling because I said I would go through them for my roof, they never respond.

    Reply from the business

    I'm sorry you feel like we did not respond adequately Eric. When we looked into this it appears you were calling the cell phone of one of our technicians. Our office line is open 24/7 to deal with all customer service issues that may arise. I hope everything worked out for you and we are here to serve in the future if we can be of service.

    Thank you for taking the time to submit a review, while not a customer of ours we would still like to address your concerns. We do not encourage our clients to file insurance claims, however if wind or storm damage has impacted their roof, we are available to guide them through their own claim process. Only a homeowner can file a claim on their insurance policy and we never enter into an Assignment of Benefits contract with our customers. The purpose of the letter you received is to indicate to our clients that we are available for all of their roofing needs. We have had hundreds of clients reach out to us after filing a claim on their own and have had to deal with the adjuster appointments and payment delays on their own, not realizing we have an office team available to provide assistance. It is also very important to note that this is absolutely not fraudulent, the homeowners insurance carriers must agree that there is sufficient damage for them to agree to pay a claim. Under the terms of the insurance contract the carriers are liable for the damages, if deemed sufficient. I appreciate your concern, but if you dig deeper into the issue you will find it is the lawsuits (and associated legal expenses) being filed by denied claims that are the problem, not the insurers covering rightful claims, and we do not deal with any attorneys.

    Met with Damien on 12/18 for an estimate. He said he would email it later that day or the next at the latest. Here it is 1/3 still no estimate after leaving a phone message and text message, neither of them returned. Apparently they don't need my business or that of my friends and family.

    Reply from the business

    The estimate was emailed on Dec. 20 as agreed. Our office was open throughout the holidays and we did not receive a call or message from you. As soon as we saw this review we reached out to you to determine why you did not receive our estimate and realized that the email address had a typo on our end. The estimate was re-sent to you immediately. We appreciate and honor every customer and regret the typo.

    Very unprofessional, damaged my gutters with ladder!!! Then I was lied to from Damian Lopez, quoting he is the owner of the company. I called office to complain, waiting to hear back from owner of company... Shall see!!! I took pictures of damage...

    We recently had our roof replaced by Certified Roofers, and the entire experience was outstanding. Their team did a fabulous job from start to finish. They worked incredibly quickly without sacrificing quality, and the finished roof looks fantastic. What impressed us most was their communication. They kept us informed throughout every step of the process, answered all of our questions promptly, and made sure we knew exactly what to expect. The crew was professional, efficient, and respectful of our property. If you're looking for a roofing company that delivers excellent workmanship, clear communication, and fast service, I highly recommend Certified Roofers!

  • 5 out of 5jeanniehhh3 months ago

    Certified Roofers installed my roof 15 years ago. I have them come out periodically to see if it needs any maintenance. I’m happy to say the roof is still holding strong even after the heavy winds of Hurricane Milton. Most recently, I had Kyle come out to replace some flashing. He was courteous and professional and communicated well. Highly recommend Certified Roofers!

    Reply from the business

    Wow, Jeannie, thank you for such an incredible review! A 15-year relationship with a customer is something we don't take for granted. Hurricane Milton was no joke, so hearing that your roof held strong makes us incredibly proud of the work we did all those years ago. Thanks for the high recommendation and for sticking with Certified Roofers all these years!

  • 5 out of 5Christine Ricketts4 months ago

    We had a great experience working with Certified Roofers. We worked directly with Damian on a client roof repair. His communication and professionalism were excellent throughout the process. Even though an issue came up outside of the warranty period, Damian and his team still came out and took care of it without hesitation. That level of service and standing behind their work really says a lot. We truly appreciated their responsiveness, and we would absolutely recommend Certified Roofers.

    Reply from the business

    Christine, this is such thoughtful feedback, thank you! 😊 Working on a client’s project comes with a different level of trust, so we don’t take that lightly. Happy we could step back in and get things sorted quickly when that issue came up! …

    Your company was amazing from the time they started my roof job til the end. Markes,Damian Kathleen and Dawn thank you for always answering my questions and making sure everything was to my satisfaction. Your crew did a great job and left everything spotless. It was truly a pleasure.

    Thank you for this review! We thoroughly enjoyed working with you as well and extend our gratitude for your business and taking the time to leave us 5 stars!

  • 5 out of 5Jennifer Herr5 months ago

    This company has been a complete pleasure to work with from start to finish. Highly professional, very communicative, and excellent craftsmanship. I had the pleasure of working directly with Zach and Dawn, but this company’s crews have been all top notch, timely, and have cleaned up everything nicely like they weren’t even there upon completion. I had a roof replacement as well as fascia replaced with Hardie board and painted, and couldn’t be more pleased. Gutters will be installed in the next day or two, but I am confident in their hands, since this is a reputable company, and I am happy that I went with my decision to go with them. Thank you Certified Roofers for a job well done and your diligence to customer satisfaction and service!

  • 5 out of 5Julie M.5 months ago

    We recently had our roof redone by Certified Roofer, and I can genuinely say it was such a positive experience from beginning to end. Taking on a roofing project can feel overwhelming, but Damian and his crew made it surprisingly easy and stress-free. From our first conversation, Damian was kind, patient, and incredibly professional. He walked us through everything in a way that actually made sense, answered all of our questions without rushing us, and made us feel completely comfortable with the process. You can tell he truly cares about his customers and stands behind his work. The roofing crew was just as impressive. They showed up on time, worked hard the entire day, and were so organized and efficient. It was amazing to see how smoothly everything moved. They worked like a true team—focused, respectful, and clearly experienced. What really stood out was how clean they left everything when they were done. No mess, no debris—just a beautiful new roof. The whole process felt seamless. No surprises, no stress—just honest communication and great workmanship. We’re beyond happy with how everything turned out and so grateful to Damian and the entire crew. If you’re looking for a roofing company you can truly trust, Certified Roofer is it.
