    I really had high hopes for this company, good reviews, good conversations with the staff. Cowboy's was contracted to fix my roof from several leaks caused by (a major solar company you can get through Costco). Unfortunately, the first bid …

    Mr. Scott, I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and the poor communication experience you had during your project. As we previously discussed, there were some internal team changes that unfortunately affected communication throughout the process. That said, our main priority at Cowboys Roofing was making sure all issues were resolved promptly and professionally. We were able to complete the attic insulation as outlined in your contract and also replaced the gutter with a brand-new one to ensure it was free from any dents or damage. We truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve our service and prevent these types of situations in the future. At Cowboys Roofing, we take pride in standing behind our work, correcting our mistakes when necessary, and providing quality roofing services to our customers. We are also glad that, in the end, we were able to make you happy and resolve the concerns with your project. Please feel free to contact us anytime if you have any additional questions or concerns. We appreciate the opportunity to work with you and hope we were able to show our commitment to customer satisfaction. Thank you, Cowboys Roofing

    If you want your roof done right with the most minimal disturbance seek elsewhere because it’s definitely not going to be with Cowboy Roofing. On the second day while stripping the roof from my house one out of two workers fell off the roof and paramedics and the fire department had to be called to my home and he was taken to the hospital. That same day it was windy and the worker left had to use tarps to cover the house through the night. Now through the night it rained and we saw winds at 50 miles per hour which made the tarps come off the roof and were left bunched up in the corner of my backyard by my pool.. We knew the house was left to the elements and right away reached out to the superintendent in charge of the project. Nico was unreachable and Michelle from the office was unhelpful. The next day we had new workers show up to finish the work these workers were seen by my family members taking cases of beer to the roof. They were drinking the day and some of the night that when they left they crashed two of their work trucks into each other. One of the work trucks was left in my driveway through the night, later explained by Nico that specifically the owner of that truck has had previous DUI convictions. They left tools scattered around my house and nails and debris that made it impossible to walk through my entry and driveway. My brother had to clean everything up for them and place the tools inside my garage so they wouldn’t be stolen. We then informed them of our concerns about the men working on our roof intoxicated, nothing was done. We brought up our concerns about the roof being exposed to the rain on the night it was left uncovered from improper handling of covering with the tarps. Nothing was done and almost a month later they are still debating what happened and the repairs they are willing to do to my ceiling that has new water spots due to the lack of correct protection through that rainy night. Will say Omar has been the only reasonable person t

    “Cowboy Roofing did an awesome job on my roof. David showed up on time, explained what needed to be done, and kept me updated the whole way through. The work was done fast, looks great, and they even went the extra mile and painted the fascia boards even though that wasn’t included in the contract. They cleaned everything up before they left, pricing was fair, and there were no surprise charges. I’d definitely use Cowboy Roofing again and I highly recommend David and his crew.”

    Our three-layer roof had to be replaced to meet code, and was "crispy as potato chips". They were on time, organized, efficient, and cleaned up. This company was recommended by a family friend, a housing contractor for the government in the industry for 30 years. Cowboy Roofing lived up to his praise! Recommended!

    We recently had Cowboy Roofing replace our concrete tile roof, and our experience from start to finish was excellent. We obtained several estimates before choosing Cowboy Roofing, and we are very happy with our decision. Mark G took the time to answer all of our questions and never pressured us into making a decision. Throughout the project, communication was excellent, and they kept us updated with progress photos during every stage of the job. Once the old roof was removed, they discovered significant wood damage that could not have been seen beforehand. They documented everything with photos, explained exactly what needed to be replaced, and provided a detailed change order before any additional work was performed. We appreciated their honesty and transparency. The crew replaced the damaged fascia, rafters, sheathing, shiplap, and bird blocks where needed. They also installed the chimney cricket that was included in our contract, replaced all necessary flashings, installed new Eagle concrete tile, reinstalled our 18 solar panels, and completed all of the work professionally. They even repainted all of the replaced wood and metal to match our house at no additional charge after we provided the paint. Throughout the project, they were patient with our questions and never made us feel like we were being difficult. We appreciated being able to see photos of the work before it was covered up, which gave us confidence that everything was being done correctly. Our solar system is working perfectly after reinstallation, we received our warranty, completed the final walkthrough, and the entire roof looks beautiful. A roof is one of the biggest investments a homeowner can make, and Cowboy Roofing earned our trust through their workmanship, professionalism, communication, and integrity. We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing a new roof. The true test of a contractor isn't when everything goes perfectly—it's how they handle unexpected problems. Cowb

Our goal is always to clearly explain what's needed, document everything thoroughly, and never move forward without our customers' understanding and approval. Thank you again for trusting us with one of your home's most important investments.

  • 5 out of 5M. Do2 months ago

    We had a very positive experience with Cowboy's, who was subcontracted as part of our solar + battery project. This was a full roof replacement, and the entire process moved quickly and efficiently. Scheduling was fast, which helped keep the overall solar project timeline on track, and the roofing crew was professional throughout. Cleanup was also very good each day, which we appreciated. The finished roof looks great as far as we can tell, and the work appears clean and well done. One thing we especially appreciated was the responsiveness from the office team. Since scheduling happened so quickly, we did not have much time to choose a roofing color, and they took the extra time to personally drop off physical samples so we could see them in person before making a final decision. That level of customer service made the process feel much less stressful and more thoughtful. Overall, the project felt well coordinated and we're happy with how everything turned out.

    We needed a fast roof inspection for our potential purchase of a property in Oceanside. We called a few companies but no one could come for several days. Then we connected with Cowboy Roofing. They were awesome! The receptionist was able to schedule the same day and actually even called and moved up their time table! Omar Ramirez inspected the property, took great pictures, explained the problems to us, and we were able to get the report and photos timely. Omar was prompt, professional and all around awesome! Cannot recommend this company, and Omar specifically, enough!
